What Happened
Viskase Holdings, Inc. announced on April 10, 2026 that the Board appointed Michael Blecic (age 57) as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective April 10, 2026. Mr. Blecic has served as Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer of Viskase Companies, LLC since February 2013 and has been with the company since 1995; he will continue in his current accounting and treasury roles in addition to the CFO title. As of the effective date, Mackenzie Stender’s service as Interim Chief Financial Officer of Viskase Companies through Silverman Consulting, Inc. was terminated. The company also appointed Joseph D. King as Executive Vice President effective April 10, 2026; Mr. King will continue to serve as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

Key Details

• Appointment effective date: April 10, 2026.
• Michael Blecic: promoted to CFO; continues as VP, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer; age 57; with Viskase Companies since 1995.
• Mackenzie Stender’s interim CFO engagement via Silverman Consulting, Inc. ended as of April 10, 2026.
• Joseph D. King: appointed Executive Vice President and will continue as General Counsel and Secretary.
• Compensation: Neither Mr. Blecic nor Mr. King will receive additional compensation for their new titles beyond eligibility for routine annual merit increases. No related-party or familial interests were reported for Mr. Blecic.

Why It Matters
These are internal leadership changes that signal continuity in Viskase’s finance and legal leadership: the CFO role was filled by a long-tenured internal accounting officer rather than an external hire, and the General Counsel was given an elevated executive title. The filing notes no additional compensation tied to the appointments, which indicates the changes are organizational rather than tied to new pay commitments. Investors should view this as a management alignment update; any financial impact would be limited unless the company later discloses material compensation or structural changes.
