Recent leadership and board announcements have coincided with sharp negative price reactions, suggesting governance changes have been a key overhang.

On 16 October 2025, it announced Peter Collins as interim CEO, Klaas de Boer as senior advisor, and a planned renaming to CelLBxHealth plc, with a 47.7% decline. Today’s formal board appointments and another director’s planned departure continue this governance reshaping trend.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement continues CelLBxHealth’s board transition, confirming Peter Collins as CEO and adding several non-executive directors while another director prepares to step down on 31 January 2026.
