MADISON, N.J., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wyeth (NYSE: WYE) today announced that its Chairman, Robert Essner, 60, has decided to retire from the Company effective June 27, 2008. Mr. Essner has held the position of Chairman since January 2003 and served as Wyeth's Chief Executive Officer from 2001 to 2007. The Company's Board of Directors has elected Bernard Poussot, Wyeth's President and Chief Executive Officer, to the additional position of Chairman, effective June 27, 2008.

"During his tenure, Wyeth became a leader in biotechnology and thanks to his commitment, we now have one of the most extensive Alzheimer's programs in the health care industry."
