On June 5, 2012, Kathryn E. Falberg resigned from the Board of Directors of QLT Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately.

Ms. Falberg indicated that she felt that the time commitments required by the new Board’s potential strategic initiatives were personally-incompatible with her principal duties as EVP and CFO of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. She expressed regret in her decision not to continue her service on the Company’s Board and her appreciation for her Director colleagues and the dedicated employees of the Company.
The Board of Directors is considering potential candidates to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Falberg’s resignation.
