Audit Committee

The audit committee is responsible for assisting the Board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors, and our internal financial and accounting controls. The audit committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention (including termination) and oversight of our independent auditors, and our independent auditors report directly to the audit committee. The audit committee also prepares the audit committee report that the SEC requires to be included in our annual proxy statement.

Messrs. Berger, Coleman and Ringo served as members of the audit committee in 2018, with Mr. Berger serving as the chairman. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the audit committee is financially literate and that Mr. Berger and Mr. Coleman each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is currently defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which is available on our website at www.immunedesign.com. The inclusion of our website address here and elsewhere in this proxy statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this proxy statement.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.immunedesign.com.

We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding an amendment to, or a waiver from, any provision of our code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website at the Internet address set forth above. We did not amend or grant any waivers of a provision of our code of business conduct and ethics during 2018. Our code of business conduct and ethics is posted on our website at the Internet address set forth above

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to report to the SEC their initial ownership of our common stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership. The SEC has established specific due dates for these reports and we are required to disclose in this proxy statement any late filings or failures to file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from reporting persons that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we believe that, during the 2018 fiscal year, all of our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

(1)

The amounts shown for non-equity incentive plan compensation represent amounts earned for the fiscal years presented, whether or not actually paid during such year. This column reflects amounts earned based on the achievement of company and individual performance goals and other factors deemed relevant by the Board and compensation committee. For 2018, the compensation committee determined that Dr. Paya was entitled to 85% of his target bonus, Mr. Brady was entitled to approximately 85.75% of his target bonus and Dr. Yurasov was entitled to approximately 83.25% of his target bonus.

(2)

Amounts listed in this column represent the aggregate fair value of the awards computed as of the grant date of each award in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or FASB ASC Topic 718, rather than amounts paid to or realized by the named individual. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Stock-Based Compensation,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a discussion of assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value and compensation expense of our stock options.

In 2018, the amounts associated with the performance-based restricted stock unit awards were $927,248 for Dr. Paya, $192,375 for Mr. Brady and $192,375 for Dr. Yurasov. The Board determined that the applicable performance criteria were not met by the corresponding vesting date, and accordingly, all such performance-based restricted stock units were cancelled unvested as of December 31, 2018.


(4)	Amounts represent contributions by us to the named executive officer’s 401(k) plan account.

Employment Agreements and Severance Obligations

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. We designed these agreements to be part of a competitive compensation package and to keep our executive officers focused on our business goals and objectives. These agreements provide for base salaries and incentive compensation benefits, and each component reflects the scope of each named executive officer’s anticipated responsibilities and the individual experience they bring to the company.

Carlos Paya, M.D., Ph.D. We entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Paya in June 2014 for the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to his employment agreement, we agreed to an initial annual base salary, which could be increased (or decreased) from time to time based on the review of our Compensation Committee. Dr. Paya’s annual base salary was $602,550 in 2018 and is $620,627 in 2019. Dr. Paya is eligible for an annual performance bonus based upon criteria established by our board. Dr. Paya’s annual target bonus is 50% of his annual base salary. Dr. Paya is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans on the same terms as other regular, full-time employees.

Dr. Paya’s employment agreement further provides that in the event his employment is terminated without “cause,” as defined in his employment agreement, or he terminates his employment for “good reason,” as defined in his employment agreement, he is entitled to (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 12 months base salary, as in effect on the date of his termination, less applicable withholdings, subject to his general release of claims; (ii) 12 months accelerated vesting of outstanding and unvested equity awards issued to Dr. Paya pursuant to an equity incentive plan; (iii) with respect to equity awards granted to Dr. Paya prior

Table of Contents

to the date of his termination, the lapse of any reacquisition or repurchase rights we hold with respect to such equity awards for the portion of such equity awards as to which such reacquisition or repurchase rights would otherwise have lapsed during the 12 month period following the date of Dr. Paya’s termination; and (iv) if elected by Dr. Paya, payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the earlier of 12 months from his termination date or the date he and his covered dependents, if any, become eligible for group health insurance through another employer.

If Dr. Paya’s employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason within three months prior to or 12 months after a “change in control” of us, as defined in his employment agreement, he is instead entitled to (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 18 months of his base salary and pro-rata annual bonus, as in effect on the date of his termination, less applicable withholdings, subject to his general release of claims; (ii) accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested equity awards issued to Dr. Paya pursuant to an equity incentive plan; (iii) with respect to equity awards granted to Dr. Paya prior to the date of his termination, the lapse of all reacquisition or repurchase rights we hold with respect to such equity awards; and (iv) if elected by Dr. Paya, payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the earlier of 18 months from his termination date or the date he and his covered dependents, if any, become eligible for group health insurance through another employer.

The agreement also provides that if any of the payments Dr. Paya would receive in connection with a “change of control” constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then such payments will be either (i) reduced or (ii) paid in full to Dr. Paya, whichever results in Dr. Paya receiving the greater amount after taking into consideration the payment of all taxes, including the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

Stephen Brady. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Brady in June 2014 for the position of Chief Business Officer, and in May 2015, Mr. Brady was promoted to Executive Vice President, Strategy & Finance. Pursuant to his employment agreement, we agreed to an initial annual base salary which could be increased (or decreased) from time to time based on the review of our Compensation Committee. Mr. Brady’s annual base salary was $412,000 in 2018 and is $424,360 in 2019. Mr. Brady is eligible for an annual performance bonus based upon criteria established by our board and chief executive officer. Mr. Brady’s annual target bonus is 40% of his annual base salary.

If Mr. Brady’s employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason within three months prior to or 12 months after a “change in control” of us, as defined in his employment agreement, he is instead entitled to (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary and pro-rata annual bonus, as in effect on the date of his termination, subject to his general release of claims; (ii) accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested equity awards issued to Mr. Brady pursuant to an equity incentive plan; (iii) with respect to equity awards granted to Mr. Brady prior to the date of his termination, the lapse of all reacquisition or repurchase rights we hold with respect to such equity awards; and (iv) if elected by Mr. Brady, payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the earlier of 12 months from his termination date or the date he and his covered dependents, if any, become eligible for group health insurance through another employer.

The agreement also provides that if any of the payments Mr. Brady would receive in connection with a “change of control” constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then such payments will be either (i) reduced or (ii) paid in full to Mr. Brady, whichever results in Mr. Brady receiving the greater amount after taking into consideration the payment of all taxes, including the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

Sergey Yurasov, M.D., Ph.D. We entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Yurasov in October 2016 for the position of Senior Vice President, Clinical Development, and Chief Medical Officer. Pursuant to his employment agreement, we agreed to an initial annual base salary which could be increased (or decreased) from time to time based on the review of our Compensation Committee.

Dr. Yurasov is eligible for annual performance bonuses based upon criteria established by our board and chief executive officer. Dr. Yurasov’s annual target bonus is 40% of his annual base salary. Dr. Yurasov is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans on the same terms as other regular, full-time employees.

Table of Contents

Dr. Yurasov’s employment agreement further provides that in the event his employment is terminated without “cause,” as defined in his employment agreement, or he terminates his employment for “good reason,” as defined in his employment agreement, he is entitled to (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to nine months base salary, as in effect on the date of his termination, less applicable withholdings, subject to his general release of claims; (ii) nine months accelerated vesting of outstanding and unvested equity awards issued to Dr. Yurasov pursuant to an equity incentive plan; (iii) with respect to equity awards granted to Dr. Yurasov prior to the date of his termination, the lapse of any reacquisition or repurchase rights we hold with respect to such equity awards for the portion of such equity awards as to which such reacquisition or repurchase rights would otherwise have lapsed during the nine month period following the date of Dr. Yurasov’s termination; and (iv) if elected by Dr. Yurasov, payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the earlier of nine months from his termination date or the date he and his covered dependents, if any, become eligible for group health insurance through another employer.

If Dr. Yurasov’s employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason within three months prior to or 12 months after a “change in control” of us, as defined in his employment agreement, he is instead entitled to (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary and pro-rata annual bonus, as in effect on the date of his termination, subject to his general release of claims; (ii) accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested equity awards issued to Dr. Yurasov pursuant to an equity incentive plan; (iii) with respect to equity awards granted to Dr. Yurasov prior to the date of his termination, the lapse of all reacquisition or repurchase rights we hold with respect to such equity awards; and (iv) if elected by Dr. Yurasov, payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the earlier of 12 months from his termination date or the date he and his covered dependents, if any, become eligible for group health insurance through another employer.

Retention Arrangements

In August 2018, we entered into a letter agreement with Dr. Yurasov, pursuant to which Dr. Yurasov received a retention bonus of $200,000. As a condition to receiving the bonus, Dr. Yurasov signed a letter agreement, pursuant to which he must repay the retention bonus in full if his employment is terminated for any reason or he resigns before August 31, 2019, or he must repay 25% of the retention bonus if his employment is terminated for any reason or he resigns between August 31, 2019 and February 28, 2020.

In November 2018, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved a retention program consisting of restricted stock unit awards, or RSU Awards, and cash compensation for our executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Brady and Dr. Yurasov each received 29,953 RSU Awards, and Mr. Brady received a one-time cash award of $200,000. Each RSU Award was granted pursuant to our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan and represents the right to receive one share of common stock. One-hundred percent (100%) of the RSU Awards granted to Mr. Brady and Dr. Yurasov will vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to each of their continued service with us. As a condition to receiving the cash retention award, Mr. Brady signed a letter agreement, pursuant to which he must repay the cash award if he resigns his employment or is terminated for cause before May 1, 2020, except that his repayment obligations will lapse upon a change in control.

Other Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, short and long-term disability, and our 401(k) plan, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable laws. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including our named executive officers. We believe these benefits are important to attracting and retaining experienced executives. We do not currently provide perquisites to our executive officers.

Equity Benefit Plans

2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan

General. In April 2014, our Board adopted, and in July 2014, our stockholders approved, our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, for the purpose of attracting and retaining non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees and service providers. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. Any shares of common stock related to awards outstanding under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan, which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares, or are settled in cash, will be added to, and included in, the 2014 Plan reserve amount.

Shares Authorized and Outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, we had 2,761,914 shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance and 3,221,185 shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan. Continuing until the expiration of the 2014 Plan, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan will automatically increase annually on January 1 of each year, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year or a lesser amount as determined by our Board. On January 1, 2019, the shares available for issuance under the 2014 plan increased by 1,928,421 shares pursuant to this provision. With respect to stock appreciation rights, the number of shares of common stock subject to each award will be counted against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan regardless of the number of shares of common stock actually issued to settle the stock appreciation right upon exercise. If any shares of stock covered by an award granted under the 2014 Plan or the 2008 Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an award otherwise terminates without delivery of any shares of stock subject thereto, or is settled in cash in lieu of shares of stock, then the number of shares of stock counted against the aggregate number of shares of stock available under the 2014 Plan with respect to such award shall again be available for making awards under the 2014 Plan.

Change in Control. If we experience a change in control in which equity-based awards that are not exercised prior to the change in control will not be assumed or continued by the surviving entity, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement: (1) with the exception of any performance award, all restricted shares will vest, and all stock units and dividend equivalents will vest and the underlying shares will be delivered immediately before the change in control, and (2) at the Board’s discretion either all options and stock appreciation rights will become exercisable 15 days before the change in control for a period of 15 days, or all options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and stock units may be cancelled before the change in control in exchange for payment of any amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by our board), in the case of restricted shares or stock units equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to our stockholders and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights equal to the product of the number of shares subject to the option or stock appreciation right multiplied by the amount by which the formula or fixed price paid to our stockholders exceeds the exercise price of the option or the stock appreciation right. In the case of performance awards denominated in common stock and stock units, if more than half of the performance period has lapsed, we will convert the awards into restricted stock or stock units based on actual performance to date. If less than half of the performance period has lapsed, or if we cannot determine actual performance, we will convert the awards into restricted stock or stock units assuming target performance has been achieved. In the event that equity-based awards are assumed or continued by the surviving entity or substituted by the surviving entity for similar awards, such awards will continue under their terms with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares subject to such awards and if applicable, the exercise prices of such awards.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan

General. In June 2008, our Board and our stockholders adopted our 2008 Plan, which was subsequently amended in July 2010 and October 2013. The 2008 Plan was terminated upon the completion of our initial public offering in July 2014, and we will not grant any additional awards under the 2008 Plan. However, the 2008 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan which, as of December 31, 2018, constitute stock options to purchase 1,116,484 shares of our common stock.

Corporate Transaction. Our 2008 Plan provides that except as otherwise stated in a stock award agreement, in the event of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets, a sale or disposition of at least 90% of our outstanding securities, a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are not the surviving corporation, or a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction (a corporate transaction), outstanding stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan may be assumed, continued or substituted for similar stock awards by the surviving or acquiring corporation. If the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume, continue or substitute such stock awards, the vesting of stock awards held by participants whose continuous service has not terminated will accelerate in full to a date prior to the corporate transaction as determined by our Board. All stock awards not assumed, continued or substituted for similar stock awards by the surviving or acquiring corporation will terminate upon the corporate transaction. In addition, our Board may also provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of a stock award that will terminate upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction will receive a payment, if any, equal to the excess of (1) the value of the property the participant would have received upon exercise of the stock award over (2) the exercise price otherwise payable in connection with the stock award.

2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

General. In July 2014, our Board adopted and our stockholders approved our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to enable our eligible employees, through payroll deductions or cash contributions, to purchase shares of our common stock, to increase our employees’ interest in our growth and success and encourage employees to remain in our employment. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.

Shares Authorized. As of December 31, 2018, we had reserved 393,206 shares of common stock for purchase by our eligible employees. In addition, continuing until the expiration of the ESPP, the number of shares of common stock available for purchase by our eligible employees under the ESPP will automatically increase annually on January 1 of each year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year, or (ii) 200,000 shares of our common stock, except that our Board may act prior to January 1 of any calendar year to provide for an increase of a lesser number of shares (which may be zero). In December 2018, the Board acted such that there was no increase of the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the ESPP as of January 1, 2019.

Reorganizations. Upon our dissolution or liquidation, or upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the company with one or more other corporations in which we are not the surviving entity, or upon a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other transaction approved by our Board resulting in any person or entity owning more than 50% of the combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the ESPP and all rights outstanding thereunder will terminate, except to the extent provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuation or assumption of the ESPP, or for the substitution of the rights under the ESPP with new rights covering the stock of the successor entity with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and exercise prices, in which event the ESPP and such rights will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. Upon termination of the ESPP in this circumstance, the offering period and the purchase period will end on the last trading day prior to such termination, and the rights of each participating employee shall be automatically exercised on such last trading day. Our Board will send written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all participating employees at least ten (10) days prior to the date upon which the ESPP will be terminated.

If we are the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of the company with one or more other corporations, all outstanding rights under the ESPP will pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of our common stock subject to such rights would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the purchase price per share so that the aggregate purchase price thereafter will be the same as the aggregate purchase price of the shares subject to such rights immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

401(k) Retirement Plan

We maintain a defined contribution employee retirement plan for our employees. Our 401(k) plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 of the Code so that contributions to our 401(k) plan and income earned on such contributions

Table of Contents

are not taxable to participants until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan provides that each participant may contribute up to 100% of his or her pre-tax compensation, up to a statutory limit of $18,000 for 2017 and $18,500 for 2018. Participants who are at least 50 years old can also make “catch-up” contributions, which in each of 2017 and 2018 may be up to an additional $6,000 above the statutory limit. Under our 401(k) plan, each employee is fully vested in his or her deferred salary contributions. Employee contributions are held and invested by the plan’s trustee. Our 401(k) plan also permits us to make discretionary and matching contributions, subject to established limits and a vesting schedule. We have made matching contributions to the plan on behalf of participating employees.

Director Compensation

We maintain a non-employee director compensation policy, which is reviewed and approved each year by the Board. Pursuant to the policy, each non-employee director will receive an annual base retainer of $40,000. In addition, our non-employee directors will receive the following cash compensation for board services, as applicable:


•	the chairman of the Board will receive an additional annual retainer of $30,000;


•	each member of our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, other than the chairperson, will receive an additional annual retainer of $8,000, $6,000 and $4,000, respectively; and


•	each chairperson of our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000, $15,000 and $9,000, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, each non-employee director received the applicable retainers described above. We pay all amounts in quarterly installments. We also reimburse each of our directors for their travel expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and committee meetings.

In addition, newly appointed non-employee directors will receive a one-time initial option award to purchase 42,500 shares of our common stock, which will vest over three years with one-third of the shares vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the following two years, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board through each vesting date. Thereafter, each non-employee director receives an annual option award to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock, which will vest in its entirety on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board.

The following table sets forth information concerning compensation accrued or paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2018 for their service on our Board. Directors who are also our employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors and are not set forth in the table below.

Indemnification

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated bylaws. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by a director or executive officer in any claim, action or proceeding arising in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer of our company or in connection with service at our request for another corporation or entity. The indemnification agreements also provide for procedures that will apply in the event that a director or executive officer makes a claim for indemnification.

These indemnification agreements and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of each of our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of March 13, 2019, by (i) each named executive officer, (ii) each director, (iii) all directors and executive officers as a group and (iv) each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. Other than as set forth in this table, we are not aware of any person or group that holds in excess of 5% of our outstanding common stock.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on information furnished to us by each director, executive officer or stockholder who holds more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, and Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC, as the case may be. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he or she possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, and includes options and warrants that are currently exercisable within 60 days of March 13, 2019. Options to purchase shares of our common stock that are exercisable within 60 days of March 13, 2019 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these options for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners named in the table below has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock listed as beneficially owned by him or her, except for shares owned jointly with that person’s spouse.

We have based our calculation of beneficial ownership on 48,365,248 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 13, 2019. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the stockholders in the table below is c/o Immune Design Corp., 1616 Eastlake Ave. E., Suite 310, Seattle, Washington 98102.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Policies and Procedures Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

We have adopted a policy in which either (i) our audit committee (or any other committee of the Board consisting of independent directors), or (ii) the full Board reviews and approves all proposed related-person transactions. This review covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we were or are to be a participant, in which (1) the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of (i) $120,000 or (ii) 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two completed fiscal years, and (2) a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including purchases of goods or services by or from a related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, and indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. A “related person” is any person who is or was one of our executive officers, directors or director nominees or is a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or their immediate family members or any entity owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons.

Certain Related-Person Transactions

Other than listed below, there were no related party transactions since January 1, 2017 with our executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of five percent or more of our securities.

Other Transactions

We entered into various employment-related agreements and compensatory arrangements with our executive officers and directors that, among other things, provide for compensatory and certain severance and change of control benefits. For a description of these agreements and arrangements, see the sections above in Item 11 — Executive Compensation titled “Employment Agreements and Severance Obligations,” “Retention Arrangements” and “Director Compensation.”

We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. See the section above in Item 11 — Executive Compensation titled “Indemnification.”

These services may include audit-related services, tax services and other services.

The pre-approval requirement set forth above does not apply with respect to non-audit services if:


•	the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by us to our auditor during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;


•	such services were not recognized by us at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and


•	such services are promptly brought to the attention of the audit committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the audit committee or by one or more members of the audit committee who are members of the Board to whom the audit committee has delegated authority to grant such approvals.

The audit committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the audit committee the authority to grant required pre-approvals. The decisions of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve non-audit services shall be presented to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The audit committee pre-approved all of the fees described above pursuant to these policies.
