\nAurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUPH) announced today that Kevin Tang, Aurinia\u2019s Chair of the Board, will succeed Peter Greenleaf as Chief Executive Officer. Peter will continue as a consultant to facilitate the transition.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAurinia thanks Peter for his many contributions to the Company over his 7-year tenure and wishes him the best in his future endeavors,\u201d stated Mr. Tang. \u201cAurinia today is in an extremely strong position in no small part due to Peter\u2019s stewardship.
