ProKidney Appoints Todd C. Girolamo as General Counsel

Winston-Salem, NC, March 28, 2022 — ProKidney LP (ProKidney), a leading clinical-stage cellular therapeutics company focused on therapies for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and prevention of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and need for dialysis, today announced the appointment of Todd C. Girolamo as General Counsel.

“We are thrilled to welcome Todd to the ProKidney team in such an important role,” said Tim Bertram, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ProKidney. “His experience as both an attorney and capital markets professional will be important to our future success, as we move closer to becoming a public company through our proposed merger with SCS. I look forward to working closely with Todd and am confident that the Company will benefit significantly from his expertise.”

Mr. Girolamo is an accomplished attorney and capital markets executive. Prior to joining ProKidney, he spent 11 years at Caladrius Biosciences where he served as Chief Legal Officer, SVP of Corporate Development and Corporate Secretary. Caladrius is a Nasdaq-listed biotechnology company developing cell therapies for cardiac and renal indications, as well as peripheral artery disease. Prior to Caladrius, Girolamo was a biotechnology portfolio manager and analyst at Lion’s Path Capital, a New York-based investment management company. Previously, he spent 12 years in healthcare equities at Summer Street Research Partners, Leerink & Company and CIBC World Markets. He began his career in private legal practice as an attorney at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, LLP and Reid & Priest, LLP. Girolamo has an AB from Harvard College, a JD from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and an MBA from Columbia Business School.

“Since its inception, ProKidney has made great strides both clinically and operationally, positioning itself as a leading innovator in renal cell therapies. With the anticipated closing of its merger with SCS in the third quarter, ProKidney is approaching a key inflection point which will position the Company for long-term execution,” added Mr. Girolamo. I look forward to working with the rest of the team to help ProKidney achieve its mission of fundamentally changing the treatment paradigm for patients with CKD.”
