Minerva Neurosciences names Anthony Aliquo chief accounting officer

Minerva Neurosciences disclosed in an 8-K filing that its board of directors named Anthony Aliquo, who had been the company's vice president and controller, to the role of chief accounting officer and principal accounting officer, effective August 10, 2026.¹

The change comes with a shift in duties at the top of the finance function. Chief Financial Officer Fred Ahlholm stopped serving as principal accounting officer as of the same date, though he remains the company's chief financial officer and principal financial officer.¹

Aliquo, 39, has been with the company for several years. He held the title of vice president and controller from November 2022 to July 2026, controller from August 2021 to November 2022, and assistant controller from September 2020 to August 2021.¹ Before joining Minerva, he worked as an auditor at BDO USA, P.C., and earlier at Deloitte & Touche, LLP.¹ The filing notes he is a CPA with more than 10 years of accounting experience.¹ His academic background includes a master's degree in accountancy from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Saint Michael's College.¹

Alongside the promotion, the board approved compensation changes. Aliquo's annual base salary was raised to $296,696, effective July 1, 2026, and his annual performance bonus target was increased to 35% of that base salary.¹ Other than those changes, his existing compensation and other arrangements with the company remain unchanged.¹

The filing states there are no arrangements or understandings between Aliquo and any other person related to his appointment, and he has no family relationship with any executive officer or director, nor any interest in transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.¹ The report was signed and dated August 12, 2026.
