Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD”) (CSE: MVMD) (OTCQB: MVMDF) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce the appointment of Yong Yao to the role of Chief Financial Officer effective January 15, 2024. The Company has accepted the resignation of the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, Lucie Letellier, due to health issues that have resurfaced and require Ms. Letellier to take a leave of absence from her professional endeavours at this time. Ms. Letellier will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer until January 15, 2024 and assist with the transition to the new CFO.

“I am very pleased to welcome Yong Yao to the MVMD team to support our commercialization growth phase and the scaling of our operations globally,” said Dennis Hancock, President & CEO of the Company. “Mr. Yao is a very accomplished CFO and has joined us at a very important time as we navigate complex international sales, royalty, and tax strategies.”

With a distinguished financial career spanning premier institutions in both North America and the Far East, Mr. Yao is a seasoned CFO and brings a wealth of expertise in financial markets, corporate governance, and international business. In his recent role as CFO of Hanalytics BioMind Co., Mr. Yao played a pivotal role in securing USD 200 million dollars in private equity financing and chartering the company’s profitable growth to a valuation of USD 1.4 billion. Mr. Yao was the Executive Director of Xinyuan Real Estate Corp. and President of Xin Yan Capital, a Xinyuan subsidiary, where he managed private equity funds totaling CNY 30 billion, facilitating successful IPOs, overseeing global land acquisition and real estate projects. Mr. Yao’s leadership roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Scotia Bank Canada showcased his diverse abilities, including strategic financial oversight, implementation of accounting policies and IFRS standards, regulatory reporting, management reporting, and financial business planning. Notably, his entrepreneurial venture, Selectin Biomedical Inc., secured substantial funding and regulatory approvals for innovative small molecule chemical drugs designed for anti-tumor applications. Mr. Yao holds an MBA from McGill University, and two designations by AICPA-CIMA UK, including Fellow Chartered Management Accountant (FCMA) and Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA). Additionally, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Nankai University.

The Company has granted stock options (the “Options”) to Mr. Yao, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Option Plan, to purchase 500,000 common shares in the capital stock of the Company. The Options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at a price of $0.05 per share. The Options will vest 20% on the date of grant, 30% on the 6-month anniversary following the date of grant and the remaining 50% on the 12-month anniversary following the date of grant.

The Company extends its appreciation to outgoing CFO Lucie Letellier for her contributions to the Company.

“Seeing the relapse in Lucie Letellier’s health is very unfortunate and we respect the important need for her to focus on her wellbeing with her family at this time,” continued Hancock. “We are grateful for her support of MVMD and willingness to manage through this transition window to minimize any potential disruption to the business.”
