On January 6, 2011 J. Michael Mills, the Controller and Principal Accounting Officer of BioCryst
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), tendered his resignation from employment with the Company,
effective February 18, 2011. His resignation was prompted by the recent relocation of the
Company’s headquarters to Durham, North Carolina.
The Company expects that Mr. Mills will continue to assist through the year end process and will
continue to provide the Company with the SEC regulatory support. The Company has begun the
recruiting process and plans to hire its new Controller and Principal Accounting Officer at the
Company headquarters in Durham, North Carolina.
