Executive Summary

Corcept announced the retirement of Sean Maduck, President of Endocrinology, effective October 1, 2026, with Justin Gunn succeeding him. Maduck will remain as a senior commercial advisor under a consulting agreement paying $57,000/month through September 2027, with stock options continuing to vest. This is a routine leadership transition with no disagreement cited and a successor already in place.

Key Facts

  • Sean Maduck, President of Corcept Endocrinology, resigned effective October 1, 2026, and will retire.
  • Justin Gunn appointed President, Endocrinology, effective October 1, 2026; he joined Corcept in July 2024 as VP of Sales for Oncology.
  • Maduck entered a Consulting Services Agreement with $57,000/month cash fee through September 30, 2027, with stock options continuing to vest.
  • Maduck did not resign due to any disagreement with the company regarding operations, financial statements, policies, or practices.
  • Gunn previously led the commercial launch of Lifyorli for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and spent 18 years at Gilead Sciences.

Financial Impact

Consulting fee of $57,000 per month for up to 12 months (~$684,000 total) plus continued option vesting; immaterial relative to Corcept's scale.

Risk Factors

  • Transition risk if Gunn's oncology background does not fully translate to endocrinology commercial strategy.
  • Potential distraction during the transition period, though mitigated by Maduck's advisory role.
