On February 13, 2024, Exscientia announced that its CEO and Principal Executive Officer, Andrew Hopkins, had been terminated following an investigation which found that he had “engaged in relationships with two employees that the Board determined were inappropriate and inconsistent with the Company’s standards and values.” The Company also disclosed that the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, David Nicholson, “had prior knowledge of the existence of the earlier of Dr. Hopkins’ relationships and had addressed the situation directly, and with the involvement of other outside counsel, rather than in consultation with the Board,” and “[f]ollowing discussions with the Board, on February 12, 2024 Dr. Nicholson tendered his resignation from his positions with the Company.”

On this news, Exscientia’s stock price fell $1.72, or 22.9%, to close at $5.79 per share on February 13, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
