What Happened

Goscianski resigned as Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and Secretary effective April 17, 2026. The Board appointed Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D., already the Company’s President, Chairman and principal executive officer, to serve as CFO and Secretary effective April 17, 2026. The filing states Mr. Goscianski’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company, and Dr. Burzynski will receive no additional compensation for the new roles.

For investors, that is a governance-related development to note because it affects oversight and management structure. The filing also confirms the resignation was not due to disagreement and that no extra pay will be given for the added duties.
