Integer Announces Planned Departure of Chief Financial Officer

FRISCO, Texas, Sept. 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE:ITGR), a leading medical device outsource (MDO) manufacturer, today announced that Michael Dinkins, executive vice president and chief financial officer, plans to leave the Company. The Company has commenced a search for his successor, and Mr. Dinkins will continue to serve as executive vice president and chief financial officer for up to six months or such earlier date when his successor is named.

“I want to thank Michael for his contributions to Integer over the past eight years,” said Thomas Hook, Integer’s president and chief executive officer. “Michael was instrumental in providing strategic financial direction during the recent merger of Greatbatch Medical and Lake Region Medical, which doubled the size of our company. This has positioned us to deliver a broader suite of products and services to our customers. We appreciate Michael’s commitment to ensuring a smooth transition over the next few months and wish him well in his new endeavors.”

“I am proud of everything the Integer team has accomplished, especially over the last year,” said Dinkins. “We have made great progress integrating the Greatbatch and Lake Region companies and have already realized many synergies along the way while maintaining the integrity of our finance and tax reporting. While I look forward to pursuing theological studies and increasing my non-profit activities in my retirement, I will miss working with the great team at Integer.”

Mr. Dinkins served on the Greatbatch Board of Directors from 2008-2012. In 2012, he transitioned from a Director into the CFO role.

As debate simmers over how best to regulate AI, experts continue to offer guidance on where to start, how to proceed and what to emphasize. A new resource models its recommendations on what its authors call the “SETO Loop.”

FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, MD, said the clinical community needs to combat health misinformation at a grassroots level. He warned that patients are immersed in a "sea of misinformation without a compass."
