•Our executive bonuses are dependent on meeting corporate objectives. Our annual performance-based bonus opportunities for all of our named executive officers are dependent upon our achievement of annual corporate objectives established each year and the individual officer’s contributions towards such corporate objectives. In March 2025, the Compensation Committee established a maximum payout for non-equity incentive plan awards payable to our named executive officers for fiscal year 2025 equal to 200% of the target value. •We emphasize long-term equity incentives. Equity awards are an integral part of our executive compensation program, and comprise the primary “at-risk” portion of our named executive officer compensation package. These awards strongly align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by providing a continuing financial incentive to maximize long-term value for our stockholders and by encouraging our executive officers to remain in our long-term employ. •We do not provide our executive officers with any excise tax gross ups. •We do not provide executive fringe benefits or perquisites to our executives. •Our Compensation Committee has retained an independent third-party compensation consultant for guidance in making compensation decisions. We have retained Alpine Rewards since 2022 to advise the Compensation Committee on market practices, including identifying a peer group of companies and their compensation practices, so that our Compensation Committee can regularly assess the Company’s individual and total compensation programs against these peer companies, the general marketplace and other industry data points. •We prohibit hedging and pledging of Company stock. Please see the section titled “Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance—Prohibition on Speculative Trading” for further details.
Objectives, Philosophy and Elements of Executive Compensation
| Element of Compensation | Objectives | Key Features | | Base Salary (fixed cash) | Provides financial stability and security through a fixed amount of cash for performing job responsibilities. | Generally reviewed annually and determined based on a number of factors (including individual performance and the overall performance of our Company) and by reference, in part, to market data provided by our independent compensation consultant. | | Performance Bonus (at-risk cash) | Motivates and rewards for attaining key annual corporate performance goals and individual contributions that relate to our key business objectives. | Target bonus amounts are generally reviewed annually and determined based upon positions that have similar impact on the organization and competitive bonus opportunities in our market. Bonus opportunities are dependent upon achievement of specific corporate performance objectives consistent with our long-term strategic plan and individual performance objectives that relate to the officer’s role and expected contribution toward reaching our corporate goals, generally determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated at the beginning of the year. Actual bonus amounts earned are determined after the end of the year, taking into account corporate and individual performance objectives. | | Long-Term Incentive (at-risk equity) | Motivates and rewards for long-term Company performance; aligns executives’ interests with stockholder interests and changes in stockholder value. Attracts highly qualified executives and encourages their continued employment over the long-term. | Equity opportunities are generally reviewed annually and may be granted during the first half of the year or as appropriate during the year for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances, such as to encourage retention, or as a reward for significant achievement. Individual awards are determined based on a number of factors, including current corporate and individual performance and market data provided by our independent compensation consultant. |
Objectives, Philosophy and Elements of Executive Compensation
We focus on providing a competitive compensation package to our executive officers which provides significant short and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate objectives. We believe that this approach provides an appropriate blend of short-term and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value. We do not have any formal policies for allocating compensation among salary, performance bonus awards and equity grants, short-term and long-term compensation or among cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee uses its judgment to establish a total compensation program for each named executive officer that is a mix of current, short-term and long-term incentive compensation, and cash and non-cash compensation, that it believes appropriate to achieve the goals of our executive compensation program and our corporate objectives. However, we have historically structured a significant portion of the named executive officers’ total target compensation so that it is comprised of performance-based bonus opportunities and long-term equity awards, in order to align the executive officers’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders and our corporate goals.
Role of our Compensation Committee, Management and the Board
Role of our Compensation Committee, Management and the Board The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board and has responsibilities related to the compensation of the Company’s directors, officers, and employees and the development and administration of the Company’s compensation plans. For details on the Compensation Committee, see the section titled “Information Regarding Committees of the Board of Directors—Compensation Committee”. Our Compensation Committee consists solely of independent members of the Board (as determined under the Nasdaq listing rules). The Compensation Committee reviews all compensation paid to our executive officers, including our named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer evaluates and provides to the Compensation Committee performance assessments and compensation recommendations. While the Chief Executive Officer discusses his recommendations with the Compensation Committee, he does not participate in the deliberations concerning, or the determination of, his own compensation. The Compensation Committee discusses and makes final determinations with respect to executive compensation matters without the Chief Executive Officer present during discussions of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. From time to time, various other members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice or otherwise participate in the Compensation Committee meetings. The Compensation Committee meets periodically throughout the year to manage and evaluate our executive compensation program, and generally determines the principal components of compensation (base salary, performance bonus and equity awards) for our executive officers on an annual basis; however, decisions may occur at other times for new hires, promotions or other special circumstances as our Compensation Committee determines appropriate. The Compensation Committee does not delegate authority to approve executive officer compensation. The Compensation Committee does not maintain a formal policy regarding the timing of equity awards to our executive officers.
Role of Compensation Consultant
Role of Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms. The Compensation Committee has retained Alpine Rewards as its compensation consultant. Alpine Rewards developed a group of peer companies to use as a reference in making executive compensation decisions, evaluating current executive pay practices and considering different compensation programs to aid making executive pay decisions for 2025. Alpine Rewards also conducted market research and analysis to assist the Compensation Committee in developing executive compensation levels, including appropriate salaries, target bonus amounts and equity awards for our executives, including the named executive officers. Alpine Rewards also conducted a review of our director compensation policies and practices, our long-term incentive compensation design, and an annual risk assessment. The Compensation Committee has analyzed whether the work of Alpine Rewards as compensation consultant raises any conflict of interest, taking into account relevant factors in accordance with SEC guidelines. Based on its analysis, our Compensation Committee determined that the work of Alpine Rewards and the individual compensation advisors employed by Alpine Rewards does not create any conflict of interest pursuant to the SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing rules.
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data The Compensation Committee believes that it is important when making its compensation decisions to be informed as to the current practices of comparable public companies with which we compete for top talent. To this end, the Compensation Committee directed Alpine Rewards to develop a proposed list of our peer group companies to be used in connection with assessing the compensation practices of the publicly traded companies with whom we compete.
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data

Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
In September 2024, Alpine Rewards proposed, and the Compensation Committee approved, a group of companies that would be appropriate peers to be utilized with respect to compensation decisions based on the following criteria: •Industry Sector and Stage – Commercial companies with a focus on rare disease with similar therapeutic focus, where appropriate •Market Capitalization – Range of $600 million to $6.0 billion •Revenue – Range of $150 million to $650 million •Location – Biotechnology hub markets with an emphasis on companies with a global presence At the time we selected our peer group, we were approximately the 50th percentile of the peer group in terms of the key metrics listed above. The peer group utilized with respect to 2025 compensation decisions was as follows:
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
| Acadia Pharmaceuticals | Cytokinetics | | Agios Pharmaceuticals | Dynavax Technologies | | Amicus Therapeutics | Ironwood Pharmaceuticals | | Ardelyx | MannKind | | BioCryst Pharmaceuticals | Rhythm Pharmaceuticals | | Blueprint Medicines | Supernus Pharmaceuticals | | BridgeBio Pharma | Syndax Pharmaceuticals | | Catalyst Pharmaceuticals | Travere Therapeutics | | Collegium Pharmaceuticals | Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical | | Corcept Therapeutics | Vericel | | Crinetics Pharmaceuticals | |
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
Using data compiled from the peer companies, or peer data, Alpine Rewards completed an assessment of our executive compensation to inform the Compensation Committee’s determinations regarding executive compensation for 2025. Alpine Rewards prepared and the Compensation Committee reviewed, a range of market data reference points (generally at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the market data) with respect to base salary, performance bonuses, equity compensation (valued based on an approximation of grant date fair value), total target cash compensation (base salary and the annual target performance bonus) and total direct compensation (total target cash compensation and equity compensation) with respect to each of the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee did not target pay to fall at any particular percentile of the market data, but rather reviewed these market data reference points as a helpful reference point in making 2025 compensation decisions. Market data is only one of the factors that the Compensation Committee considers in making compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee considers other factors as described under the section titled “—Factors Used in Determining Executive Compensation.”
Bonus Compensation
Bonus Compensation In addition to base salaries, our named executive officers are eligible to receive annual performance-based bonuses, which are designed to provide appropriate incentives to our executive officers to achieve pre-established annual corporate goals and to reward them for individual achievement towards these goals. The annual performance-based bonus that each named executive officer is eligible to receive is based on the extent to which we achieve the corporate goals that the Board establishes each year. At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee reviews our performance against each corporate goal and approves the extent to which we achieved each of our corporate goals. The Compensation Committee typically does not establish specific individual goals for our named executive officers but instead determines each named executive officer’s performance-based bonuses according to achievement of our annual corporate goals. There is no minimum bonus percentage or amount established for the named executive officers and, thus, the bonus amounts vary from year to year based on corporate performance, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the executive officer’s offer letter described below. In March 2025, the Compensation Committee established a maximum payout for non-equity incentive plan awards payable to our named executive officers for fiscal year 2025 equal to 200% of the target value. In January 2026, the Compensation Committee assessed our overall 2025 performance against the achievement of the corporate goals to determine a total percentage of achievement. The Compensation Committee considered the following performance goals, as well as the relative weighting of these goals, in assessing overall performance for the year ended December 31, 2025:
Bonus Compensation
| Goal | Weighting | Achievement Against Goal | Weighted Achievement | | Product revenue | 50% | 200% | 100% | | Pipeline execution and expansion | 40% | 200% | 80% | | Specified operations and human resources related goals | 10% | 200% | 20% |
Bonus Compensation
The bonus targets were set in a manner intended to be challenging. No specific individual goals were established for any of our named executive officers for 2025. In January 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that the 2025 corporate goals had been achieved at an aggregate level of 200%. The main drivers of the achievement were total net product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 significantly exceeding initial targets set and the acquisition of brelovitug, which represents a substantial expansion of the pipeline. For 2025, Mr. Peetz’s, Mr. Bjerkholt’s, Mr. Radovich’s and Dr. Quan’s target performance bonuses were 70%, 45%, 50% and 45%, respectively, of their respective base salaries, consistent with the target bonus percentages in 2024. As a result,

Equity-Based Incentive Awards
Equity-Based Incentive Awards We believe that our ability to grant equity-based awards is a valuable and necessary compensation tool that aligns the long-term financial interests of our employees, consultants and directors with the financial interests of our stockholders. In addition, we believe that our ability to grant equity-based incentive awards helps us to attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants and directors, and encourages them to devote their best efforts to our business and financial success. Our Board and our Compensation Committee are responsible for approving equity grants. Vesting of equity awards is generally tied to continuous service with us and serves as an additional retention measure. Our executives generally are awarded an initial new hire grant upon commencement of employment. Additional grants may occur periodically in order to specifically incentivize executives with respect to achieving certain corporate goals or to reward executives for exceptional performance. We initially granted all equity awards pursuant to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Following adoption of the 2019 Plan, we have granted all equity awards pursuant to the 2019 Plan and the 2020 Inducement Plan (as amended, the “2020 Inducement Plan”). We have historically granted options to purchase our common stock (“stock options”), performance-vesting restricted stock unit (“PSU”) and time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU ”) awards to our named executive officers. We believe time-based stock options are inherently performance-based, long-term incentive vehicles that naturally incentivize our executives to create stockholder value and make decisions focused on the long-term success of our company, while RSUs strengthen the retention of the executive team. Our PSU awards promote achievement of long-term strategic goals that underlie those awards as performance metrics. In January 2025, our Compensation Committee granted the following awards, as set forth in more detail in the chart below: •stock options, which vest 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, with the remainder vesting in 36 monthly installments thereafter, subject to continued service through each vesting date; •RSU awards, one-third of which vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued service through each vesting date; and •PSU awards, which vest as described below. The PSU awards (the “2025 Executive PSUs”) are subject to a performance condition of achieving certain net product sales levels during the year ending December 31, 2026. If the performance condition is met, the first tranche of the award will vest on March 15, 2027 and the second tranche will vest on March 15, 2028, subject to continued service through each vesting date. The number of units to be vested in the first tranche of the PSU award is calculated by multiplying two-thirds of the shares subject to the PSU award by a percentage calculated based on attained net sales metrics, as certified by the Compensation Committee. The number of units to be vested in the second tranche of the PSU awards equals 50% of the units vested in the first tranche.

Equity-Based Incentive Awards
The annual equity grants to our named executive officers are evaluated and approved by the Compensation Committee in the context of each named executive officer’s total compensation and take into account the market data provided by our compensation consultant in addition to the individual executive’s responsibilities and performance. The Compensation Committee also takes into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to appropriate grants and any particular individual circumstances. In 2026, 50% of PSU awards granted to our executives were subject to a two-year performance period, while the remaining 50% were subject to a three-year performance period. These awards will be described in more detail in next year’s annual proxy. Also, in January 2024, the Compensation Committee granted PSU awards (the “2024 Executive PSUs”) with respect to 37,500, 17,250, 10,000, and 10,000 shares to Mr. Peetz, Mr. Radovich, Mr. Bjerkholt and Dr. Quan, respectively. The 2024 Executive PSUs were subject to a performance condition of achieving certain net product sales levels during the year ended December 31, 2025, with the percentage of achievement determined as follows: 50% if net product sales equaled $320 million, 100% if net product sales equaled $360 million, 200% if net product sales equaled or exceeded $400 million, a linearly adjusted percentage between 50% and 100% if net product sales were between $320 million and $360 million, and a linearly adjusted percentage between 100% and 200% if net product sales were between $360 million and $400 million in each case, with net product sales to be certified by the Compensation Committee. In January 2026, the Compensation Committee certified that net product sales equaled or exceeded $400 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and assigned an achievement percentage of 200% to the 2024 Executive PSUs. The first tranche of the shares underlying the 2024 Executive PSUs vested on March 15, 2026, and the second tranche will vest on March 15, 2027, subject to the applicable executive employee’s continuous service through the remaining vesting date. The number of shares that vested in the first tranche was 50,000 for Mr. Peetz, 23,000 for Mr. Radovich, and 13,334 for each of Mr. Bjerkholt and Dr. Quan, which were calculated by multiplying two-thirds of the 2024 Executive PSUs granted by 200%, the achievement percentage for the 2024 Executive PSUs. The number of shares to be vested in the second tranche of the 2024 Executive PSUs equals 50% of the shares vested in the first tranche, or 25,000 for Mr. Peetz, 11,500 for Mr. Radovich, and 6,666 for each of Mr. Bjerkholt and Dr. Quan, subject to continuous service through the remaining vesting date. As described in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 14, 2025, the second tranche of the PSU awards granted by the Compensation Committee to Mr. Peetz and Mr. Radovich in January 2023 (the “2023 Executive PSUs”) vested on March 15, 2026. For more information about the 2023 Executive PSUs, please refer to the section in that definitive proxy statement titled “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Executive Compensation Program—Equity Based Incentive Awards.” For additional information, please see the section titled “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End”.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control The following is a discussion of the severance and change in control-related payments and benefits due to our named executive officers under certain circumstances. Our Board may approve revisions, amendments or additions to these benefits from time to time. Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s service terminates, the named executive officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during his or her term of service, including salary and unused vacation pay. We maintain a severance benefit plan and have entered into a severance benefit plan participation agreement with each of our named executive officers. Pursuant to these agreements, upon a termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” (each as defined below) and the execution of a release of claims, each of our named executive officers will be entitled to continued payment of base salary (12 months for Mr. Peetz and nine months for Messrs. Bjerkholt and Radovich, and Dr. Quan), 12 months of accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards that are subject to time-based vesting, measured from the date of termination, and payment of continued group health benefits (12 months for Mr. Peetz and nine months for Messrs. Bjerkholt and Radovich, and Dr. Quan). In addition, upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason during the period commencing three months prior to a “Change in Control” (as defined below) and ending 12 months following a change in control, subject to the execution of a release of claims, each of our named executive officers will be entitled to extended payment of base salary (24 months for Mr. Peetz and 18 months for Messrs. Bjerkholt and Radovich, and Dr. Quan), accelerated vesting in full of all outstanding equity awards upon the earlier of the Change in Control or the effective date of the release (with any award subject to performance-based vesting that has multiple performance-based vesting levels being deemed to have attained the 100% level), payment of continued group health benefits (24 months for Mr. Peetz and 18 months for Messrs. Bjerkholt and Radovich, and Dr. Quan) and payment of a certain percentage of any annual performance bonus (200% for Mr. Peetz and 150% for Messrs. Bjerkholt and Radovich, and Dr. Quan). For purposes of the severance benefit plan, the following definitions apply: •“cause” generally means the occurrence of any of the following events, conditions or actions with respect to the executive: (i) commission of any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (ii) attempted commission of, or participation in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against us; (iii) intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between the executive and us or of any statutory duty owed to us; (iv) unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information or trade secrets; or (v) gross misconduct; •“good reason” generally means the following events, conditions or actions taken by us with respect to the executive without cause and without the executive’s express written consent: (i) a material reduction of the executive’s annual base salary, which is a reduction of at least 10% of such executive’s base salary (unless pursuant to a salary reduction program applicable generally to our similarly situated employees); (ii) a material reduction in the executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a material reduction in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the executive is required to report; (iv) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment to a place that increases such executive’s one-way commute by more than 50 miles as compared to such executive’s then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation; and •“change in control” generally means the following events: (i) a change in ownership of representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of our outstanding securities, other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction; (ii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction in which our stockholders do not own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity or its parent; (iii) a dissolution or liquidation, except for a liquidation into a parent corporation; and (iv) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
Pay Ratio Disclosure Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, presented below is the ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee (except our CEO). The ratio presented below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation 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. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported below, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. For fiscal year 2025, •the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the Company (other than the CEO) was $434,769; and •the annual total compensation of the CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $10,441,224.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 24 to 1. We identified our median compensated employee from all full-time and part-time employees who were included as employees on our payroll records as of a determination date of December 31, 2025. We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population. We used a consistently applied compensation measure consisting of annual base salary, annual bonus or commission targets, and the grant date value of equity awards granted during fiscal year 2025. We annualized base salary, target annual bonus and commission for any full-time and part-time employees who commenced work during fiscal year 2025 to reflect a full year, and non-United States employees’ pay was converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using applicable exchange rates as of the determination date.

Each of the option grants described above were granted under our 2019 Plan. Each share subject to an Initial Director Grant will vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments over the three-year period following the date of grant, subject to the director’s continuous service as of each such date, and will vest in full upon a change of control. Each Annual Director Grant will vest and become exercisable on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual stockholder meeting, subject to the director’s continuous service as of such date, and will vest in full upon a change of control. The term of each option will be ten years, subject to earlier termination as provided in the 2019 Plan. The Company also has a deferral program for Initial Director RSU Grants and Annual Director RSU Grants to non-employee directors. Such deferral program allows non-employee directors to defer receipt of shares that may vest under future Initial Director RSU Grants and Annual Director RSU Grants until the earlier to occur of (a) 60 days following separation from service or (b) immediately prior to a change in control. In April 2025, our Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted a revised non-employee director compensation policy effective as of April 2, 2025 (the “April 2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy ”), which applied for the second quarter of 2025 onwards. The April 2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy made no changes to the non-employee director compensation in effect prior to such revised policy, except: •the additional annual cash retainer for services as a member of the Audit Committee increased from $10,000 to $12,500; •the additional annual cash retainer for services as Chair of the Audit Committee increased from $20,000 to $25,000; •the aggregate grant date fair value of an Initial Director Grant increased from $450,000 to $550,000; and •the aggregate grant date fair value of an Annual Director Grant increased from $300,000 to $350,000.
