Neogen® Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG), an innovative leader in food safety solutions, today announced that David Naemura, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, has communicated his intention to depart the Company. Mr. Naemura will continue to serve in his existing roles until his departure, which is expected to occur after the Company’s filing of its 10-Q in October, and no later than the end of 2025.
Neogen has engaged a leading executive search firm to help identify the Company’s next CFO, a process that is currently underway. The transition will be supported by Mr. Naemura during his remaining tenure, along with Neogen’s finance team and Bill Waelke, Vice President, Investor Relations & Treasury who will be available to answer questions.

“We are grateful for Dave’s contributions, and the role he's played over the past three years in navigating us through a dynamic period, and we wish him every success in his next chapter,” said Mike Nassif, Neogen’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we look to the future, this transition offers an opportunity to bring in a CFO who will provide a fresh perspective to accelerate our strategic initiatives and drive sustainable, profitable growth. We are confident that Bill and our talented finance team will ensure a smooth transition, as we strive to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in the global food safety market.”
