CDT Equity（原Conduit Pharmaceuticals）任命联合创始人James Bligh为CEO，前CEO Andrew Regan转任旗下量子签名智能公司Sarborg的CEO

NAPLES, Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDT Equity Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) (“
CDT
” or the “
Company
”) today announced the appointment of James Bligh, co-founder of Conduit Pharmaceuticals Limited (now CDT), as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Bligh brings extensive public-markets, corporate finance and transaction experience to the role and will lead the Company as it enters its next phase of growth and value creation. Dr. Andrew Regan has been appointed as CEO of Sarborg Limited.
Mr. Bligh co-founded Conduit Pharmaceuticals Limited in 2019 and has played an important role in the development and evolution of the business. Prior to Conduit, he spent more than a decade leading and advising on reverse takeovers, stock-market listings, initial public offerings, secondary fundraisings and M&A transactions. He has also held financial officer positions and served on a number of corporate boards and audit-related committees.
His appointment follows a period of significant development for CDT, including strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, reducing its operating cost base and completing strategic investments intended to create long-term shareholder value. These include CDT’s acquisition of a significant stake in Sarborg, a quantum signature intelligence business, as well as the re-structuring the Company’s loan notes and funding facilities.
“Having co-founded Conduit in 2019, I am delighted to take on the role of CEO at what I believe is an important point in the Company’s evolution. We have made significant progress establishing a portfolio of assets and investments that we believe have the potential to generate meaningful value for shareholders,” said James Bligh. “We will continue pursuing CDT’s strategy of identifying and targeting high-potential, science-driven and data-backed opportunities.”
CDT holds a 22% strategic investment in Sarborg and intends to continue working closely with the company as it develops its signature intelligence platform, expands its proprietary intellectual property portfolio and advances SarborgQ.
“I am excited to be CEO of Sarborg, following the significant growth to date. With the launch of SarborgQ and the application of quantum computing to signature intelligence, the market is moving so fast that it warrants my full-time attention. I feel confident that CDT's stake in Sarborg will prove to be an excellent investment and gain recognition in the value and share price of CDT," said Dr. Andrew Regan
