Parnell Pharmaceuticals Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq:PARN), a fully integrated pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative animal health solutions, reported today that Robert Joseph, President and Chief Executive Offer, and Brad McCarthy, Chief Financial Officer, have each adopted a prearranged trading plan effective December 15, 2014 in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Parnell policy. The 10b5-1 plans call for the personal purchase of shares of company stock by Mr. Joseph and Mr. McCarthy in market transactions which commenced on December 17, 2014.

"I believe strongly in Parnell's prospects for continued growth and success, as the company continues to advance our diversified animal health product pipeline and expand our commercial activities in the U.S. and worldwide," said Mr. Joseph. "This is not a Parnell-sponsored stock repurchase, it is personal purchases of PARN stock by Brad and I based on our confidence in Parnell. We have adopted the 10b5-1 plans to ensure the highest level of integrity in our trading."

Rule 10b5-1 permits officers and directors of public companies to adopt written plans for buying or selling securities in a non-discretionary, prescheduled manner when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information in order to gradually diversify their investment portfolio, to minimize the market effect of stock purchases or sales and to avoid concerns about initiating stock transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information.
