有關我們的執行酬勞方案資訊
以下是有關公司行政酬金計劃的摘要,提供有關授予給、由、或支付給在2024年5月31日結束的財政年度中擔任公司首席執行官的三名個人,Jacob Lalezari萬.D., Antonio Migliarese和Cyrus Arman,以及截至2024年5月31日的我們的另外兩名執行董事,Mitchell Cohen和Tyler Blok。我們稱這五個人為我們的“具名執行董事”。在2024財政年度中,沒有其他人擔任公司的執行董事。
執行酬勞政策與程序
我們公司認為,我們的執行酬勞計劃應該旨在通過支付具競爭力的酬勞,來吸引、激勵和留住高素質執行董事,以獎勵和鼓勵個人和出色的公司表現,無論是短期還是長期,從而使我們的執行董事行為與長期股東利益保持一致。董事會的酬勞委員會負責審查適用於所有執行董事的酬勞政策和實踐。自2021年7月2日起,酬勞委員會採納了一項有關執行酬勞的書面政策,以指導委員會作出決定並履行其職責。根據該政策,酬勞委員會將:
● | 成員至少包括三名獨立董事,依據納斯達克規則或公司掛牌的另一家適用國家證券交易所的規則。 |
● | 選擇並聘請一位或多位獨立薪酬顧問,並請這些顧問提出書面建議,以協助薪酬委員會每年決定執行長和非員工董事的薪酬類型和水平。 |
● | 每年評估公司同優輩群組的薪酬水平和構成,根據薪酬委員會認為相關的因素,與其獨立薪酬顧問討論後,並考慮作為同優輩群組的選擇,經薪酬委員會認為適當的公司,這些公司經營在與公司相同的行業並具有類似市值。 |
● | 考慮 每年考慮並批准公司執行長的薪酬要素,包括執行長薪酬的基準、公司績效與執行長薪酬之間的具體關係,以及執行長薪酬的構成,包括基本薪資、透支薪酬、績效為基礎的薪酬、權益為基礎的薪酬和提供給執行長的其他福利;該決策過程將每年進行一次,包括評估最近績效期間的目標達成情況和為接下來的績效期間設定目標。 |
8
● | 審議並批准每個財政年度非僱員董事的年度補償,包括作為董事和董事會委員會成員的現金保留者、股權補償和提供給非僱員董事的其他福利;並 |
● | 不建議或批准按公司業績為基礎向非僱員董事發放獎金。 |
該政策明確允許薪酬委員會就新增董事、聘用新執行官或晉升現有執行官等情況,以及薪酬委員會認為具有例外情況的情況下,作出有關執行官或董事薪酬的決定。薪酬委員會的所有決定均報告給我們的董事會。
獨立薪酬顧問的角色
董事酬勞委員會有唯一的權限和責任來選擇、保留和終止其獨立的薪酬顧問,並批准他們的費用和合作條款。2022年6月,董事酬勞委員會聘請Aon/Radford(“Aon”)為其獨立的薪酬顧問。董事酬勞委員會部分因Aon在行業板塊制定比較薪酬分析的經驗而選擇Aon。Aon還被要求審查和評估公司的同行群組以進行薪酬比較,提供有關同行公司執行董事薪酬的比較信息,並協助設計公司2024財年的執行董事薪酬方案。2022年6月董事酬勞委員會批准的同行群組由22家預收入的上市公司組成,這些公司正在開發一至五種藥物,並位於美國生物技術樞紐中遍及。
基本薪酬
根據Aon於2024年4月、6月和9月提供的比較薪酬信息,董事酬勞委員會確定了公司執行董事的基本薪資如下:Migliarese先生2024財年的年度基本薪資定為421,600美元,與他在2023財年的薪資相同;Blok先生2023年8月15日生效,當他被任命為法律事務執行副總裁時,年度基本薪資定為315,000美元;Lalezari博士於2023年11月17日生效,被任命為代理CEO時,其年度基本薪資定為約66,650美元,並於2024年1月26日晉升為CEO時增加為400,000美元。
根據公司與InterimExecs於2024年1月10日的諮詢協議,涉及Cohen先生作為公司代理CFO的服務,公司每月支付InterimExecs固定費率48,000美元。
年度現金獎勵計劃和現金獎金
根據董事酬勞委員會對達到任何由委員會設立的公司或個人績效目標的滿意程度的決定,以及委員會酌情評估每位執行董事的個人績效,支付年度現金獎金。自2024年1月26日起,Lalezari博士的目標獎金設定為2024財年期間獲得的基本薪資的40%。Blok先生的目標現金獎勵金額設定為他在2024年8月晉升時批准的基本薪資水平的40%。Migliarese先生並未
9
因為Cohen先生於2024年2月15日離開公司,根據公司與InterimExecs的諮詢協議條款,Cohen先生不符合獎金資格,所以將由2024財政年度離職獲得獎金。
2024年9月,委員會批准向Tyler Blok支付非股權激勵性報酬,金額為10萬美元,約佔他在2024財政年度符合資格的目標現金激勵的75%,根據他達成的指定績效目標的水平。目標涉及解除美國食品和藥物管理局對leronlimab臨床研究的臨床暫停以及解決與第三方的某些重大爭端,條款對公司極不利。委員會確定第四個績效目標,涉及獲得實質戰略合作夥伴或授權交易,未達成。所有績效目標均是公司董事會為2024財政年度確定的目標。同樣在2024年9月,委員會根據主要基於解除臨床暫停的服務批准向Dr. Lalezari提供高達7萬美元的自主現金獎金,以表彰其在2024財政年度的服務。
長期股權激勵
我們向我們的具名執行主管提供長期激勵措施,在我們2012年經修訂和更新的股權激勵計劃(以下簡稱“2012計劃”)下。在2024年和2023財政年度,根據Aon的建議,授予了股權獎勵,該建議基於對於盈利前生物技術公司主要做法的了解。
2024年3月7日,薪酬委員會授予Dr. Lalezari非資格股票期權,以購買300萬股普通股,以表揚他在2024年1月晉升為首席執行官而作出的貢獻。這些期權將在四年期內分期授予。2024年1月3日,薪酬委員會授予Mr. Blok非資格股票期權,以購買100萬股普通股,將在48個平等月期按比例授予,最終於2027年5月31日結束(因此在授予日期當日已授予七個分批)。
在2024年1月3日,董事酬勞委員會還決定取消公司的所有員工,包括高管,所持有的所有期權,行使價高於每股0.35美元。董事酬勞委員會主要出於以下原因採取了這一行動:一是未行使的期權不再提供因為遠低於行使價而促使卓越表現的刺激,二是取消和取代現有期權比授予另行行使價更低的期權對股東的稀釋影響更小。由於董事酬勞委員會的行動,當時和前高管持有的行使價在每股0.54至5.57美元之間的期權被取消如下:Migliarese先生,188,022股期權;Blok先生,10萬股期權;Arman博士,1,575,557股期權。董事酬勞委員會批准了同時如下取消的期權數量對應地授予新的非合格期權給公司高管,行使價每股0.21美元,與取消期權的而完全相同的分發時間表。
期權讓我們的高管有機會從期權授予日到期權行使日我們普通股在OTCQb交易所的收盤價格之間潛在漲幅的財務收益。期權授予給高管的行使價等於或高於授予日普通股在OTCQb交易所的收盤價。我們的長期表現最終決定了期權的價值,因為期權行使所獲利益完全取決於我們普通股價格的長期增值。因此,我們認為期權鼓勵我們的高級主管和其他員工專注於創造股東價值。非合格期權不為持有人提供激勵股票期權持有人根據1986年修訂的《美國國內稅收法典第422條》享有的稅收優惠,相反,他們通過允許公司在行使期權時在課稅收入額等於期權持有人認可的薪酬支出時對稅收目的作出扣除,讓公司受益。
Cyrus Arman, 博士,根據他於2022年7月簽署的就業協議,當時他被董事會選為公司總裁,獲得了2012年計劃下的受限股票單位(“RSUs”)和績效股份單位(“PSUs”)。這些獎勵於2023年7月7日取消,因為他接受了兼職的非執行職位,擔任業務運營高級副總裁。

Additional Compensation Information
Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or Other Retirement Plans
Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted an employee savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”) that covered substantially all employees. We make “safe harbor” qualified non-elective contributions, which vest immediately, equal to 3% of each participant’s salary, up to the maximum limit permitted under Section 401(k). In addition, participants in the 401(k) Plan may contribute a percentage of their compensation, up to the maximum limit under the Internal Revenue Code. We do not have any other defined benefit pension plan or profit sharing, or retirement plan.
Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Dr. Lalezari and Mr. Blok that provide for an indefinite term of employment until terminated under the terms of the agreement, payment of a base salary (as adjusted by the Compensation Committee from time to time), a target bonus under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan described above, equity awards under the 2012 Plan (or any successor plan) as determined by the Compensation Committee, and benefits generally made available to the Company’s senior leadership. Mr. Cohen’s employment is pursuant to a consulting agreement with InterimExecs as described under “Base Salaries” above. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ written notice.
Our current executive officers, other than Mr. Cohen, are eligible to participate in our short- and long-term incentive plans, with a target annual bonus equal to a percentage or range of percentages of annual base salary, as set by the Compensation Committee. The actual amount of the target awards paid is based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the level of achievement of related performance goals or individual performance and are payable, as determined by the Compensation Committee, either in cash in full, or 50% in cash and 50% in unrestricted shares of common stock. The executive must remain actively employed by the Company through the date of a cash incentive payment to be entitled to payment.
Payments upon Termination of Employment, Death or Disability, or Change in Control
The only current executive officer of the Company entitled to severance or similar benefits upon termination of employment is Mr. Blok. Under Mr. Blok’s employment agreement, in the event we terminate his employment without cause in the absence of a change in control, and subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, he will be entitled to (x) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of three months of base salary plus (y) payments equal to nine months of base salary payable in regular installments corresponding with the Company’s regular payroll schedule. The payments may, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, be made in whole or in part through the issuance of shares of common stock. The total payments may not exceed the maximum amount qualified for the exemption from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code governing deferred compensation (the “Severance Limit”). Also, all outstanding and unvested stock awards granted to Mr. Blok will vest and (if applicable) become immediately exercisable upon such termination, except as otherwise specifically provided in an award agreement.
In the event we terminate the employment of Mr. Blok without cause, or he resigns for good reason, within 12 months following a change in control, and subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, his employment agreement provides for a lump sum payment equal to the sum of 18 months of base salary; provided that the total of such payments may not exceed the Severance Limit. Also, all then outstanding and unvested stock awards generally will vest as of the change in control date and (if applicable) become immediately exercisable, unless otherwise specifically provided in an award agreement. The definitions of certain terms used in Mr. Blok’s employment agreement are summarized below:
“Cause” means, among other things, fraudulent or similar acts intended to enrich the executive personally to the detriment or at the expense of the Company; willful failure to perform the duties or obligations reasonably assigned to the executive; a material breach of the confidentiality or non-competition provisions of the employment agreement;
13
conviction of or guilty plea to a crime involving a felony or a misdemeanor involving dishonesty or moral turpitude; and other willful engagement in misconduct, including conduct reasonably likely to result in negative publicity for the Company or harm to its reputation.
“Good reason” generally means a material reduction in the executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities; a material decrease in the executive’s base salary; a material breach of the employment agreement by the Company; or a relocation of his principal place of employment by a distance of more than 50 miles.
“Change in control” generally means the acquisition by a person or group of more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of our outstanding stock; the replacement of a majority of the members of the Board during any 12-month period (unless endorsed by a majority of the existing directors); or the acquisition by a person or group of assets representing at least 40% of the total gross fair market value of our assets.
Upon Mr. Blok’s death or disability, the Company will satisfy its accrued obligations to pay his salary and benefits through the date of the event.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of common stock as of September 15, 2024, by (i) each of our directors; (ii) each of our named executive officers; and (iii) our current executive officers and directors as a group.

As provided in the 2012 Plan, the number of shares available for issuance will automatically increase on June 1 of each calendar year in an amount equal to one percent of the Company’s total outstanding shares on that date, unless the Company’s Board of Directors determines, before the immediately preceding fiscal yearend, that there should be a smaller or no increase. Pursuant to this provision, the number of shares covered by the 2012 Plan was increased by 10,585,606 shares effective June 1, 2024, which are not reflected in the table. |
(3) | Represents outstanding stock options granted as compensation for certain consulting or advisory services provided to the Company by independent contractors and by members of our Scientific Advisory Board outside of the 2012 Plan. |
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Related Person Transactions
We describe below each transaction or series of similar transactions, since June 1, 2022, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:
● | the amounts involved exceeded or may exceed $112,140; and |
15
● | any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, at any time since June 1, 2022, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. |
The Audit Committee of the Board reviews and approves all related party transactions in accordance with the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy, which is available on our website, www.cytodyn.com/investors. Generally, it is the Company’s policy to enter into or ratify related party transactions only when the Board, acting through the Audit Committee, determines that the transaction in question is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Specifically, when reviewing a related party transaction, the Audit Committee considers all relevant factors, including but not limited to (if and to the extent possible): the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related party is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. We believe the terms of the related party transactions described below were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s length dealings with unrelated third parties.
The Center for Advanced Research & Education, LLC (“CARE”), owned by Julie Recknor, Ph.D., the spouse of Dr. Christopher Recknor, was one of several clinical locations for the Company’s MASH and COVID-19 long-hauler clinical trials, and was a clinical location for the Company’s completed Phase 2b/3 mild-to-moderate and severe-to-critical COVID-19 clinical trials. Dr. Julie Recknor serves as the Site Director of CARE and manages its day-to-day operations. The Company entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement (“CTA”) with CARE for each of these clinical trials. Each CTA was negotiated in the ordinary course of business by Amarex, the Company’s former CRO, prior to Dr. Christopher Recknor’s appointment as an executive officer of the Company, and the operational and financial terms of the CTA with CARE were comparable to the terms available to unrelated clinical locations. Dr. Christopher Recknor was not involved in the Company’s decision to choose CARE as a clinical location for its ongoing trials or in patient recruitment at the CARE site. The Company made payments totaling approximately $0.2 million to CARE during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023.
On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Surety Bond Backstop Agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”) with David F. Welch, Ph.D., in his individual capacity and as trustee of a revocable trust, as well as certain other related parties (collectively, the “Indemnitors”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Indemnitors agreed to assist the Company in obtaining a surety bond (the “Surety Bond”) for posting in connection with the Company’s ongoing litigation with its former contract research organization, Amarex, by, among other things, agreeing to indemnify the issuer of the Surety Bond (the “Surety”) with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Surety Bond. As a result of two amendments to the Backstop Agreement executed in July and December of 2022, the Indemnitors’ agreement to indemnify the Surety was extended until April 2023. As consideration for the Indemnitors’ obligations under the Backstop Agreement, including the amendments, the Company issued the Backstop Warrants to entities controlled by Dr. Welch to purchase a total of 45,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants are fully exercisable and will expire at various dates in 2027 and 2028. Upon the issuance of the final two warrants to purchase a total of 15,000,000 shares in February 2023, Dr. Welch was deemed to beneficially own in excess of 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The payment obligations of the Company to the Indemnitors bore interest at 10% per annum and were secured by substantially all of the patents held by the Company. In March 2023, as required by and in connection with the extension of the Backstop Agreement, the Company relieved the Indemnitors of the remaining $1.4 million of cash collateral pledged by the Indemnitors in support of the Surety Bond. Subsequently, the Indemnitors were fully released from their indemnification obligations, they released their security interest in the Company’s patents securing the Company’s obligations under the Backstop Agreement, and the Company fully assumed the Surety Bond.
On February 13, 2023, Dr. Arman, the Company’s then President, purchased approximately 0.4 million units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock from the Company at an exercise price of $0.50. The terms and conditions of Dr. Arman’s investment totaling $0.1 million were identical to those offered to other investors in a private placement through a placement agent that ended in April 2023.
16
Dr. Lalezari, the Company’s current CEO, owns Lalezari Medical Corp., dba Quest Clinical Research (“Quest”). In the years prior to Dr. Lalezari’s appointment as CEO, Quest was one of several clinical locations for the Company’s past COVID19 clinical trials. The Company entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement (“CTA”) with Quest in relation to said clinical trials. Each CTA was negotiated in the ordinary course of business by Amarex, the Company’s former CRO, years before Dr. Lalezari’s appointment as CEO of the Company, and the operational and financial terms of the CTA with Quest were comparable to the terms available to unrelated clinical locations. Dr. Lalezari was not employed by the Company at the time period of the trials. Since June 1, 2021, the Company has paid Quest approximately $1.2 million for its services in conducting clinical trials of leronlimab. As of August 31, 2024, the outstanding balance owed by the Company to Quest was approximately $0.4 million.
Director Independence
We are not a “listed issuer” as that term is used in Regulation S-K Item 407 adopted by the SEC. However, in determining director independence, we use the definition of independence in Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 5605(c)(2) of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Rules”).
The Board has determined that all of our current directors are independent as defined in the Nasdaq Rules, including for purposes of membership on the Board’s Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, and that none of them otherwise has a relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Dr. Ndhlovu served on the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board for a period of time. As compensation for that service, Dr. Ndhlovu was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.36 per share that will expire on August 31, 2030, and an option to purchase an additional 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share that will expire on September 6, 2032. The awards were not subject to disclosure under Regulation S-K Item 404(a), but the Board took them into consideration in determining that Dr. Ndhlovu is independent under the Nasdaq Rules.
