The company says Papa’s decision to resign from the board was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the company, its management or the board.

Papa, who stepped down as chief executive of Bausch Health earlier this year, remains chairman and chief executive of Bausch + Lomb Corp., which recently completed its initial public offering and is being spun off from Bausch Health.

Paulson is an independent director of Bausch + Lomb.
