– Mark Foley to lead company as it gears up to commercialize next-generation neuromodulator –

– Revance on track to submit BLA for DAXI for the treatment of glabellar lines in the Fall of 2019, as previously announced –

NEWARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a biotechnology company pioneering new innovations in neuromodulators for aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today announced the appointment of Mark Foley as President and CEO, replacing Dan Browne, who has stepped down due to a misjudgment in handling an employee matter. Mr. Browne has also resigned from Revance’s Board of Directors.

Mr. Foley assumes the President and CEO role after serving on the Revance Board for the past two years. He brings more than 25 years of operational and investment experience in the healthcare arena. Previously, Mr. Foley served as Chairman, President and CEO of ZELTIQ Aesthetics (ZLTQ) from 2012 to 2017, where he led the company through a period of significant transformation and growth, culminating in its acquisition by Allergan (AGN).

The change in leadership is unrelated to Revance’s operational performance, which continues to be strong. The company remains on track to file its Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) submission for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (DAXI) for the treatment of glabellar (frown) lines in the Fall of 2019, as previously announced.

“The Board deeply appreciates Dan’s contributions over many years to develop and grow the business, positioning Revance to become a leader in the aesthetics market,” said Angus Russell, Chairman of the Board. “Mark is a seasoned aesthetic and medical device leader, having expertise in commercialization strategies that drive company growth and generate significant shareholder value. We are extremely fortunate that such a distinguished leader has agreed to step in as President and CEO, one who the board believes will successfully lead Revance into its next phase of commercialization.”

“I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to lead Revance, especially given the company’s existing momentum, due in large part to Dan’s leadership,” said Foley. “As a current board member, I assume the role of CEO with tremendous confidence in the rest of the management team, knowing that we have the right people in place to execute on our shared plan. The executive team and board are fully aligned in our desire to unlock the substantial opportunity that we believe exists for DAXI, and to optimally position Revance for future growth and value creation. I continue to have strong conviction that differentiated and novel brands can garner meaningful adoption in both established and growing markets. With DAXI, I look forward to introducing the first truly novel neuromodulator since the category was created. As CEO, my primary focus will be on ensuring the timely submission of the company’s BLA, while continuing our preparations for a successful commercial launch.”

Mr. Foley was previously Chairman, President and CEO of ZELTIQ Aesthetics (ZLTQ). During his tenure, he led ZELTIQ’s growth from $68 million in annual revenue in 2012 to over $350 million in 2016, resulting in a greater than tenfold appreciation of the company’s stock. Mr. Foley also served as a Managing Director of RWI Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on life sciences, networking, semiconductor and software investments from 2004 to 2018. Prior to this, Mr. Foley held a variety of senior operating roles in large public companies and venture-backed startups, including U.S. Surgical Corporation, Guidant Corporation, Devices for Vascular Intervention (acquired by Eli Lilly), Perclose (acquired by Abbott) and Ventrica (acquired by Medtronic), where he was the founder and CEO. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for public companies Glaukos (GKOS) and SI-Bone (SIBN) and is a co-chair of the Aesthetics Innovation Summit. Mr. Foley is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame.
