We do not have any special committee, policy or procedure related to the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions, other than as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Director Independence

 

Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or on any inter-dealer quotation system which has a requirement that directors be independent. As both of our present directors are also executive officers of the Company, we do not presently have any independent directors.  We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules, and listing standards, including, without limitation, the standards for independent directors established by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ National Market, and the SEC.

 

Subject to some exceptions, these standards generally provide that a director will not be independent if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or two percent of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

 

Following the change in our board of directors, Alan Auerbach, Jonathan Fleming, Ansbert K. Gadicke, M.D., Kurt Graves, Martin Müenchbach, Ph.D. and Elizabeth Stoner, M.D. will qualify as independent directors under the foregoing standard.

Board of Directors’ Meetings

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, our board of directors did not meet. We did not hold an annual meeting in 2010.  Our board of directors conducted all of its business and approved all corporate action during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 by the unanimous written consent of its members, in the absence of formal board meetings.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

As our Common Stock is not presently listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not presently required to have board committees. In addition, due to our small size and limited operations to date, we do not presently have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee or other committees performing similar functions. Our entire board presently performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by such committees. We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.  We do not have a diversity policy. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.  The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire following the Merger.  Following the closing of the Merger, the new board of directors will consider forming an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to file reports with the SEC of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Reporting Persons are required by applicable SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. To our knowledge, based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 received by it during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company believes that all reports required to be filed by such persons with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were timely filed, except the following reports: (a) Form 3 filed by C.  Richard Lyttle on April 29, 2011; and (b) Form 3 filed by Nicholas Harvey on April 29, 2011.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our officers and directors serve in these capacities.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight

 

Dr. C. Richard Lyttle currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, and Nick Harvey currently serves as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director.  At present, we have determined this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources.  After the Merger, the size of the Board of Directors and the management team will be increased in order to manage the expanded operations, risks and resources of the Company.  As described herein, the Board will be comprised of seven directors, including Dr. Lyttle.

 

10



 

Dr. Lyttle will remain Chief Executive Officer and President and Mr. Harvey will continue as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary.

 

Our current directors are exclusively involved in the general oversight of risks that could affect our Company as Dr. Lyttle and Mr. Harvey are currently the sole directors and officers of the Company. The proposed directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure and modify such structure as appropriate based on the size, resources, and operations of the Company.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings in which any director, officer, or record or beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company, or an affiliate of such persons.

 

Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders may send communications to our board of directors by writing to the Company, c/o MPM Asset Management LLC, 200 Clarendon Street, 54th Fl., Boston, MA, 02116 Attention: Board of Directors.  Following the Merger, Stockholders may send communications to our board of directors by writing to the Company, c/o Radius Health, Inc., 201 Broadway, 6th Fl., Cambridge, MA, 02116 Attention: Board of Directors.

If his employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, Dr. Lyttle will receive 12 months salary in severance payments, payable in accordance with the payroll practice then in effect, and for a period of 12 months, the continued payment or subsidy of health insurance benefits to the same extent as being paid or subsidized at the time of termination.  Upon a change of control, if not offered a position or terminated within 12 months following the closing, Dr. Lyttle shall be entitled to 18 months salary in severance payments and 50% of his then unvested options will become immediately vested and exercisable.
