April 12 (Reuters) - Global aesthetics device company Cutera Inc said on Wednesday it has terminated CEO David Mowry and Executive Chairman Daniel Plants following recommendations from a special committee.
The decision comes just days after Mowry and Plants said in a press release that they were pushing for the removal of five of the board's eight directors and calling for a special meeting.
Independent board member Sheila Hopkins has been appointed as interim CEO, the company said, adding that the search for a permanent CEO was underway.
Representatives for Mowry and Plants did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
