NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tharimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: THAR) (“Tharimmune” or the “Company”), the first publicly traded company to leverage Canton Coin (“CC”) to support the Canton Network’s ability to digitize traditional financial markets, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has elected Mark Wendland, Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board and approved the appointment of Angela Radkowski as Chief Operating Officer, effective February 5, 2026. Mr. Wendland succeeds Vincent LoPriore, who will transition to a member of the Board after serving as Chairman since May 9, 2025.
In her role as COO, Ms. Radkowski will oversee operational control functions and enterprise processes, including the implementation of Tharimmune’s Canton Network quarterly research initiative and Super Validator activation.
“I am honored to assume the role of Chairman as we continue executing on our Canton Network-aligned digital asset strategy to help modernize financial market infrastructure,” said Mark Wendland. “The Board, under the dedicated leadership of Vincent LoPriore, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to building a governance and operating structure capable of supporting our digital asset treasury strategy, and Angela’s appointment adds critical leadership at a pivotal moment.

I am excited to join Tharimmune and help build the operational foundation required to support this transformation.”
