Item 5.02

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

 

On June 2, 2020, the Board of Directors of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) determined the bonus amounts for the Company’s named executive officers under the 2019 Cash Bonus Plan, which was adopted on May 3, 2019. This information was not included in the Summary Compensation Table (the “Summary Compensation Table”) in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”), because the amounts had not been determined at the time of filing the Form 10-K. In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, this Form 8-K is being filed to update certain compensation disclosures previously included in the Form 10-K to reflect the bonuses awarded to the named executive officers under the 2019 Cash Bonus Plan.

 

 

Mr. Latkin and Dr. Rosol received bonuses under 2019 Cash Bonus Plan in the amount of $178,143 and $35,879, respectively, of which 50% is payable in cash and 50% in fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock using the closing price on the date of grant of $2.62 per share. These bonus amounts should be reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for the 2019 fiscal year. In addition, the Total Compensation included in the Summary Compensation Table for each of Mr. Latkin and Dr. Rosol has increased to $739,943 and $250,110, respectively, for the 2019 fiscal year. Finally, the pay ratio information required under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and included in the Form 10-K has been adjusted, using this new Total Compensation amount in the Summary Compensation Table, so that the annual total compensation of Mr. Latkin to the median of the annual total compensation of all other employees is 8.1 to 1.
