Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Plan, or the Plan. Additionally, on January 14, 2020, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Board, approve the granting of an Option and RSUs to John Dobak, the Company's chief executive officer. The Board approved such grants to Dr. Dobak on January 14, 2020.

The grants of all RSUs to Company executive officers, including John Dobak, were effective upon the Company filing a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-235967) on January 17, 2020.

The following table sets forth the number of shares underlying the RSUs and Options that were awarded to the Company's principal financial officer and named executive officers (including the Company's principal executive officer):





           Name                     Position             RSUs        OPTIONS

           Kevin Sun         Chief Financial Officer     132,032       30,983
           Burkhard Jansen   Chief Medical Officer             0       43,120

The Options awarded to Dr. Dobak, Mr. Sun and Dr. Jansen have an exercise price of $9.73 per share and vest in equal monthly installments over the 36 months following the date of grant, subject to certain acceleration events described in their respective award agreements. Twenty-five percent of the RSUs awarded to Dr. Dobak vest on September 7, 2020 and the remaining seventy-five percent vest in equal quarterly installments until fully vested on December 7, 2022, subject to certain acceleration events described in Dr. Dobak's award agreement evidencing such RSUs.

Approval of New Forms of Award Agreement

On January 14, 2020, the Board approved (i) a new form of restricted stock unit agreement and three new forms of restricted stock unit award grant notice, or each a New RSU Grant Notice, to be used for grants of RSUs, and (ii) a new form of stock option agreement and three new forms of stock option grant notice, or each a New Option Grant Notice, to be used for grants of Options. The Board approved the three New RSU Grant Notices for awarding RSUs to executives, non-employee directors and Participants (as defined in the Plan) who are not executives or non-employee directors, respectively. The Board approved the three New Option Grant Notices for awarding Options to executives, non-employee directors and Participants (as defined in the Plan) who are not executives or non-employee directors, respectively. The Company expects to use the foregoing newly approved forms for future equity award grants under the Plan.

The executive forms of New RSU Grant Notice and New Option Grant Notice provide that the RSUs or Option, as applicable, will vest in full if the executive is terminated other than for cause, death or disability, or if the executive resigns for good reason during a period beginning three months prior to and ending 18 months following a change in control of the Company. The non-employee director forms of New RSU Grant Notice and New Option Grant Notice provide that the RSUs or Option, as applicable, will vest in full in the event of a change in control of the Company if the award recipient is a director of the Company at the time of any such change in control. The forms of New RSU Grant Notice and New Option Grant Notice for Participants (as defined in the Plan) who are not executives or non-employee directors do not provide for the acceleration of vesting.

The foregoing descriptions of the new forms of award agreement and grant notice do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the new forms of award agreement and grant notice, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 herewith and are incorporated herein by reference.
