  1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board is divided into three classes, and each class has a three-year term. The terms of the Class I directors expire at the Annual Meeting, the terms of the Class II directors expire at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and the terms of the Class III directors expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons appointed by a majority of the remaining directors. A director appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. There are four Class I directors whose terms of office expire at the Annual Meeting. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of the nominees would serve as Class I directors until the 2028 annual meeting and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until his death, resignation or removal. Dr. Kaneko, Mr. Machado, Dr. Perlman and Dr. Ribas were all previously elected to the Board by our stockholders in June 2022. We invite and encourage our directors and nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting, but have no formal policy regarding their attendance at our annual meetings. Nine of our eleven then-current members of the Board attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the four nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by the Board. Each nominee has agreed to serve if elected. We have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. The following table sets forth information regarding our directors as of April 1, 2025:

  8. Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

    Compensation Philosophy and Objectives The goals of our executive compensation program are to align our executive officers’ compensation with our corporate objectives and the interests of our stockholders. To do this, we focus on the following principles to guide decisions regarding executive compensation: •Competitive Total Compensation Package. We compete for qualified employees, including executive officers, both in the San Francisco Bay Area (where our principal offices are located) and in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, where competition for talented employees is fierce. We strive to offer a market-competitive compensation package that enables us to attract and retain superior executive officers and other employees with outstanding skills and values who contribute to our long-term success. •Pay-for-Performance. We structure our executive compensation program so that executives are appropriately incentivized to achieve our annual corporate goals and longer-term business strategies and objectives. The annual bonus and equity awards for our executive officers are determined based on an assessment of the company's performance and such executive officer’s contribution to the achievement of the company's goals and objectives. •Alignment with Stockholders. We use equity-based awards to align executive incentives with the creation of stockholder value. For our executive officers, our equity awards are predominately weighted towards options as we believe that options provide a strong alignment with our stockholders’ interests because their entire value depends on future stock price appreciation; to a lesser extent we also grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as we believe that RSUs also promote retention and allow us to deliver value while using fewer authorized shares. •Flexibility, Simplicity and Parity. Our compensation program is intended to be flexible so that we can adapt to rapid changes in the competitive environment for executives in the biotechnology industry and simple in design to facilitate communication, understanding and administration. We also strive to provide internal parity for similarly situated executives within the company. •Avoidance of Excessive Perquisites. In general, we do not offer our executive officers any enhanced benefits or perquisites as compared to our overall employee population. However, from time-to-time, we may provide a perquisite if appropriate and also determined by our Compensation Committee to be aligned with the overall interests of the company.

  9. Overview of Executive Compensation Process

    Overview of Executive Compensation Process Our Compensation Committee oversees the compensation policies, plans, and programs for all of our employees generally, but only reviews and specifically approves the compensation for our executive officers. In making its executive compensation determinations, our Compensation Committee considers evaluations of performance and recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own performance and compensation). The Compensation Committee considers our Chief Executive Officer’s input in executive sessions and can accept, reject or modify these recommendations in its discretion. The Compensation Committee may consult with compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors in designing our compensation program, including in evaluating the competitiveness of individual compensation packages. A key objective of our executive compensation program is to ensure that the overall compensation packages we offer our executive officers remain competitive with the packages offered by companies with which we compete for executive talent. Accordingly, our Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultant, Radford, has developed a peer group of companies to serve as a reference for our Compensation Committee when designing and evaluating our executive compensation program to the market. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the composition of the peer group to account for changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group, considering: •Industry: biopharmaceutical companies, with a therapeutic focus on oncology; •Stage of Development: clinical-stage companies, with an emphasis on companies in late-stage clinical development; •Market Capitalization: market capitalization of between $500.0 million to $5.0 billion; •Headcount: headcount between 150 and 1,500 employees, with such outer range representing approximately 3 times our size at the time of review; and •Geography: geographically situated in a biotechnology hub within the U.S., with a preference for those located in Northern California. Following this review, the Compensation Committee approved the peer group set forth below to help set executive compensation for our fiscal year 2024, which differed from the prior year peer group as BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., Day One Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and ImmunityBio, Inc. were added and Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Fate Therapeutics Inc., ImmunoGen, Inc. and Revance Therapeutics Inc. were removed. The changes to our peer group from the prior year are largely due to changes in stage of development and market capitalization.

    (1)The amount represents the closing market price of our common stock on the vesting date multiplied by the number of shares of common stock that vested on that date.

  23. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio Under SEC rules, we are required to calculate and disclose the ratio of our median employee’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of Dr. Rosen, our Chief Executive Officer. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the total compensation for Dr. Rosen was $7,279,504 as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, whereas the total compensation for our median employee was $243,173 resulting in a pay ratio of approximately 29.9 to 1. We identified median employee by use of a “consistently applied compensation measure” (CACM) that closely approximates the annual target total direct compensation of our employees. Specifically, we identified the median employee by aggregating, for each employee (other than Dr. Rosen) as of November 15, 2024: (i) annual base pay, (ii) annual target cash incentive opportunity, and (iii) the grant date fair value for equity awards granted in 2024. After applying our CACM methodology, we identified the median employee. Once the median employee was identified, we calculated the median employee’s annual total compensation in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table. The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management uses the CEO Pay Ratio measure in making compensation decisions.

  24. Pay versus Performance

    Pay versus Performance The following table discloses additional compensation information of (i) our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) all other named executive officers (the "Other NEOs"), including “compensation actually paid” during the specified years alongside total shareholder return ("TSR") and net income metrics:

  26. Pay versus Performance

    (1)Our Chief Executive Officer for each of the years presented was Dr. Rosen. Our Other NEOs for 2024, 2023 and 2022 were Robert C. Goeltz, Juan Jaen, Jennifer Jarrett and Dimitry Nuyten. Our Other NEOs for 2021 were Robert C. Goeltz, Juan Jaen, Jennifer Jarrett, Carolyn Tang and William Grossman. Our Other NEOs for 2020 were Jennifer Jarrett and William Grossman. (2)Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the "compensation actually paid" columns was determined by reference to (i) for RSU awards, closing price on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price and (ii) for stock options, the fair value estimated using a binomial lattice model as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s). Key inputs included the contractual terms of each agreement such as vesting date, maturity date, and exercise price, while additional key inputs included the closing stock price, volatility, dividend rates, risk free rates, and an early-exercise factor which were all determined as of the revaluation date. (3)The adjustments made to the summary compensation table total for Dr. Rosen for each year presented above to determine compensation actually paid to Dr. Rosen in such year are shown in the tables below:

  31. Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

    Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table As described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program is built around a pay-for-performance framework. While we utilize various performance measures to align executive compensation with company performance, these measures are focused on the clinical development of our investigational products and, as such, are non-financial in nature. Moreover, we generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore do not specifically align the company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. As a result, we do not have a financial performance measure as described in Item 402(v)(2)(vi) of Regulation S-K to link compensation actually paid to our performance. The most important performance measures that we use to link executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to company performance are as follows: •Expansion of our co-development programs with our strategic partners; •Initiation of new registrational trials; •Demonstrating proof of concept for investigational products; •Nomination of new development candidates; and •Efficient utilization of our resources in the advancement and execution of our clinical programs and pipeline. The graphs below show the relationship between (i) the compensation actually paid to both our Chief Executive Officer and the Other NEOs for the years set forth in the Pay versus Performance Table and (ii) the net income/loss and total shareholder return for the corresponding years: All information provided above under the “Pay Versus Performance” heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent we specifically incorporate such information by reference.
