Item 5.02                           Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 11, 2019, Millendo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and the Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2019 ESPP,” and together with the 2019 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2019 Plan is the successor to the Millendo Therapeutics, Inc. 2012 Stock Plan and the OvaScience, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other awards at levels determined appropriate by the Company’s board of directors or the compensation committee. The 2019 ESPP enables employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through offerings of rights to purchase the Company’s common stock to all eligible employees. The Plans were adopted by the Company’s board of directors on April 29, 2019, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, and became effective with such stockholder approval on June 11, 2019.

 

The material terms and features of the Plans are described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2019, in the sections entitled “Proposal 4—Approval of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan” and “Proposal 5—Approval of the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.” Such sections are incorporated herein by reference and are qualified in their entirety by reference to complete copies of the Plans, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2. The above summaries of the Plans do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
