Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
5.02(e) Commencement of Compensatory Plans
On March 10, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved the Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. 2011 Stock Plan (the 2011 Stock Plan) effective upon receipt of stockholder approval. The Companys stockholders approved the 2011 Stock Plan at the Companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 5, 2011. The 2011 Stock Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance units and shares. An aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock are reserved under the 2011 Stock Plan and the Company anticipates that the 2011 Stock Plan will be utilized for the initial equity awards for new hires of the Company as well as for annual and performance equity awards for existing employees.
Options granted under the 2011 Stock Plan will generally have a 10-year term and vest at the rate of 1/4 of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 1/48 of the shares monthly thereafter. Options granted under the 2011 Stock Plan will generally provide for full acceleration of the unvested portion of an option if the option is not assumed or substituted by an acquiring entity upon a Change in Control, as defined under the 2011 Stock Plan.
The 2011 Stock Plan replaced the Companys prior stock plans, consisting of the Companys 2008 Stock Plan, 2006 Stock Plan and 2004 Stock Plan (each, a Prior Plan). The Prior Plans were terminated such that no additional awards could be granted thereunder but the terms of the Prior Plans remain in effect with respect to outstanding awards until they are exercised, settled, forfeited or otherwise canceled in full.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the 2011 Stock Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. Copies of the Form of Stock Option Agreement, Form of Stock Option Agreement for Executive Officers, Form of Restricted Stock Units Agreement and Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement to be used under the 2011 Plan are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively.
