Voyager Therapeutics Plunges as Board Members Leave
Voyager Therapeutics (VYGR) takes a 28% dive on Thursday following the news that two its board members had requested not to be nominated for re-election in the upcoming annual shareholder meeting. The reasoning provided, was that the duo needed to cut work commitments.
The two board members confirmed that “such request was not based upon any disagreement with the Board or with the management on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices,” but that did not prevent the dive in share price.
VYGR is housed in the Gene Therapy PRISM Index, which tumbled 4.9%, largely due to VYGR’s performance for the day.
