Officer And Chief Commercial Officer To
Leadership Team
October 9, 2015 | By Alok Saboo
DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Novan Therapeutics announced today the addition
of two executives from the dermatology industry to the company's leadership team. Richard Peterson
has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer and Brian Johnson as Chief Commercial Officer.
Mr. Peterson will be responsible for the company's financial operations, investor relations, and other
corporate functions. Mr. Johnson will lead Novan's newly focused commercialization efforts
including sales, marketing and managed care for the company's dermatology products.
Richard Peterson joins Novan after a nearly 20-year career at Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation
where he held roles in finance, accounting and business development. Most recently, Mr. Peterson
served as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the NYSE-traded
company until its acquisition in 2012 by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International for $2.6 billion.
During his time at Medicis, the company achieved tremendous growth in revenue and profitability
with a suite of products including Solodyn®, one of the most successful selling acne products. Prior
to joining Medicis, Mr. Peterson was a senior financial auditor with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He
currently serves as a Director at Universal Insurance Holdings, Incorporated.
"Novan's success with SB204 has demonstrated the potential of a platform technology that promises
to bring sustainable innovation into dermatology as we aggressively expand the pipeline into other
indications," said Mr. Peterson. "I am excited for the opportunity to use my industry experience and
financial leadership to create value for the company's shareholders."
Brian Johnson brings to Novan nearly three decades of marketing and sales leadership at
dermatology companies including Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation (Johnson & Johnson's
Dermatological Division), Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation and Galderma Laboratories, LLC
where he served as Vice President of Prescription Marketing and Chief Digital Officer. At Galderma,
he and his team quadrupled sales by launching category leaders like Epiduo®, Clobex® and
Oracea®. In addition to Epiduo®, throughout his career he participated in the sales and/or marketing
of several other leading acne brands including Retin-A®, Dynacin®, and Differin®.
"It is rare when you are given the opportunity to build something special from the ground up," said
Mr. Johnson. "I am thrilled to be joining the Novan team as we turn the corner towards
commercialization of SB204 for the treatment of acne and look forward to helping create a

"Brian's track record of navigating commercial organizations through a rapidly changing prescription
landscape and Ric's financial success leading a publically traded high-growth dermatology company
through to final acquisition greatly strengthens our existing leadership team," added Novan's
president, Dr. Nathan Stasko.
About Novan, Inc.
Novan is a privately-held, clinical stage biotechnology company advancing therapies for skin
diseases using drugable nitric oxide. Nitric oxide, one of the most studied molecules in human
physiology, has been shown to exhibit broad anti-microbial activity and to promote vasodilation,
regulate inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and eradicate cancer cells. Novan's patented Nitricil
technology overcomes the previous delivery issues with nitric oxide by stably storing the gaseous
species as a solid that can be transformed into targeted therapeutics.
This press release contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known
and unknown, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Actual results
may differ materially due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, risks associated with
pharmaceutical development, clinical trials that may not proceed as intended or produce the results
expected, clinical trials that cost more, are less effective and take longer to complete than expected,
raw materials and drug supply, changes in regulatory requirements, competition, and financing.
