Represents the grant date fair value of the stock options computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 “Stock Compensation” (ASC Topic 718). The assumptions that we utilized are described in Note 11, “Stock Options and Stock-based Employee Compensation,” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the 2015 Annual Report. The amounts reported in this column have not been paid to, nor realized by, the Named Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee approved grants to Mr. Cooper, Dr. Simonson, and Mr. Tattory on March 27, 2015 for 25,000, 19,643 and 10,714 shares, respectively, each with an exercise price of $16.38. The Compensation Committee approved grants to Mr. Cooper, Mr. Tattory and Dr. Miller on March 6, 2014 for 7,143, 6,429 and 4,286 shares, respectively, each with an exercise price of $36.12. Dr. Simonson received a grant on May 19, 2014 upon the commencement of his employment of an option to purchase 8,571 shares with an exercise price of $23.80. All options vest in three equal annual installments beginning with the first year anniversary of the date of grant, except that Dr. Simonson’s initial option vested 17% when issued and thereafter in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. All options have a term of 10 years.

The reported amount reflects the Company match under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. During 2015 and 2014, as applicable, the aggregate perquisites and other personal benefits afforded to each Named Executive Officer was less than $10,000, calculated as the incremental cost of providing such benefits to each Named Executive Officer, in accordance with SEC disclosure rules. This amount does not include the cost of medical and health benefits, as such benefits are available to all of our employees. See also, “– Retirement Benefits,” and “– Executive Employment Agreements.”

Mr. Cooper resigned his position effective January 31, 2016. We terminated Dr. Miller's employment agreement with us on April 17, 2015.

Retirement Benefits
During 2015, none of our Named Executive Officers participated in any plan that provides for the payment of retirement benefits, or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, other than our 401(k) savings plan (“401(k) Plan”). Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) may elect to make pre-tax deferrals or Roth deferrals up to the maximum amount allowed by law (which was limited for this purpose in 2015 to $18,000). The 401(k) Plan also permits (i) rollover contributions and (ii) catch up contributions by employees age 50 and over (which was limited for this purpose in 2015 to $6,000). Under the 401(k), we may make matching contributions, which in 2015 equaled 75% of an employee’s deferred compensation. We have made our quarterly match in the form of shares of our common stock determined by reference to the lower of (i) the average closing price of shares of our common stock on all trading days in the applicable quarter, or (ii) the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the quarter.
Participant contributions are fully vested when made. Employer contributions in the form of shares generally vest in full over the first three years of service (as defined in the 401(k) Plan), with 34% vesting upon the anniversary of the first year of service, 33% vesting upon the anniversary of the second year of service, and 33% vesting upon the anniversary of the third year of service; provided, that a participant may not dispose of any shares of our common stock representing the employer contribution until all shares are fully vested at the end of the third year of service. The 401(k) Plan does not permit the acquisition or holding of employer securities, other than the shares of our common stock credited to participant accounts to satisfy the employer match. The 401(k) Plan contains standard provisions covering breaks in service, payment of expenses out of plan assets, hardship distributions, and distributions upon termination of employment, including retirement.
The 401(k) Plan is intended to be a qualified plan under the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. We act as Plan Administrator, the trustee and custodian of plan assets is The Charles Schwab Trust Company and the third party administrator is Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group. As Plan Administrator, and with the assistance of Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group, we determine the list of funds that will be made available to participants, who then direct the investment of their participant account balances among those funds. In addition, participants may elect to place their entire plan assets (other than shares of our common stock from the employer match that are not vested) in a self-directed brokerage account with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Executive Employment Agreements
On March 26, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a form of executive employment agreement (the “Executive Agreements”) for senior executive officers, including Mr. Cooper, Mr. Tattory, and Dr. Simonson, on substantially similar terms. These agreements had an initial term expiring on March 31, 2015. In December 2014, we entered into amendments to the Executive Agreements to eliminate automatic acceleration of outstanding equity awards upon a change in control and to extend the term of the agreements through March 31, 2017. The following describes the key terms of the Executive Agreements as in effect on December 31, 2015.
|
· |
The Executive Agreements were effective April 1, 2013 for Mr. Cooper, March 21, 2014 for Mr. Tattory and December 19, 2014 for Dr. Simonson. Beginning on April 1, 2017, the Compensation Committee or an executive may determine not to renew an agreement and provide notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 90 days prior to the expiration date. If such notice is not provided, the term of such agreement will automatically be extended for two additional years. The Executive Agreements include a 12-month post-employment noncompetition agreement, an 18‑month non-solicitation agreement, and provide for confidentiality and the assignment to us of all intellectual property. The base salaries for Mr. Cooper, Mr. Tattory, and Dr. Simonson were originally $400,000, $260,000, and $300,000, respectively, and following adjustments in March 2015, were $400,000, $267,800, and $320,000, respectively on December 31, 2015. Effective February 1, 2016, Mr. Tattory’s base salary was increased to $290,000 and Dr. Simonson’s base salary was increased to $330,000. Each executive has a target annual bonus (“Annual Bonus Amount”), which is a percent of base salary and is awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Annual Bonus Amount for Mr. Cooper was 50% and for each of Mr. Tattory, and Dr. Simonson, 30%, of such individual’s base salary. |
·
|
Upon termination by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the Executive Agreements), in addition to any amounts or benefits that are due under any of our vested plans or other policy, and on the condition that the executive enters into a separation agreement containing a final and effective plenary release of claims in a form acceptable to us, each executive will be entitled to: (i) a pro rata bonus equal to a percentage of the executive’s Annual Bonus Amount determined by dividing the total actual bonuses paid to other contract executives for the year in which the termination occurs by the aggregate of such other contract executives’ total target bonuses for that year, and further prorated for the number of days the executive was employed in the year of termination, payable at the time that other contract executives are paid bonuses with respect to the year of termination; (ii) a severance amount equal to the sum of the executive’s base salary then in effect (determined without regard to any reduction constituting Good Reason) and the Annual Bonus Amount (multiplied by 1.5 for Mr. Cooper), payable in equal installments from the date of termination to the date that is 12 months (18 months for Mr. Cooper) after the date of termination (the “Severance Period”); and (iii) all vested stock options, restricted stock grants and other similar equity awards held by the executive (“Executive Equity Awards”) shall continue to be exercisable during the Severance Period. For Mr. Cooper, his Executive Equity Awards shall continue to vest for a period of 18 months, and be exercisable for a period of 36 months, after the date of termination. In addition, during the Severance Period, if the executive elects to continue medical benefits through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), we will continue to pay our costs of the executive’s and his or her dependents’ benefits as in effect on the date of termination as such benefits are provided to active employees. If COBRA coverage is unavailable, we will reimburse the executive an amount which, after taxes, is sufficient to purchase medical and dental coverage substantially equivalent to that which the executive and his dependents were receiving immediately prior to the date of termination and that is available to comparable active employees, reduced by the amount that would be paid by comparable active employees for such coverage under our plans, and provided further, that our obligation to provide benefits will cease or be reduced to the extent that a subsequent employer provides substantially similar coverages. All of our obligations to an executive shall cease if at any time during the Severance Period the executive engages in a material breach of the Executive Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five business days after receipt from us of notice of such breach.
|
·
|
Upon termination in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Executive Agreements), in addition to the benefits that arise upon a Change of Control (discussed below) and any benefits that are due to an executive under any vested plans or other policies, the executive shall be entitled to: (i) a pro rata bonus equal to the executive’s Annual Bonus Amount and prorated for the number of days the executive was employed in the year of termination, payable in a lump sum within 10 days after the date of termination; (ii) a severance amount equal to 1.5 (2.0 for Mr. Cooper) times the sum of the executive’s base salary then in effect (determined without regard to any reduction constituting Good Reason) and the Annual Bonus Amount, payable in a lump sum within 10 days after the date of termination except in certain circumstances; and (iii) all Executive Equity Awards shall accelerate and become fully vested and any restrictions under restricted stock agreements will be lifted. In addition, if the executive elects to continue medical benefits through COBRA, for a period of 18 months (24 months for Mr. Cooper), we will continue to pay our costs of the executive’s benefits as in effect on the date of termination as such benefits are provided to active employees. If COBRA coverage is unavailable, we will reimburse the executive an amount which, after taxes, is sufficient to purchase coverage that is substantially equivalent to the coverage available to comparable active employees on the date of termination, reduced by the amount that would be paid by comparable active employees, provided that our obligation to provide benefits shall cease or be reduced to the extent that a subsequent employer provides substantially similar coverages. All of our obligations to an executive shall cease if at any time during the Severance Period the executive engages in a material breach of the Executive Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five business days after receipt from us of notice of such breach. If the foregoing payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax, they will be automatically be reduced to the extent and in the manner provided in the Executive Agreements.
|
·
|
Upon a Change of Control and assuming the executive remains employed, (i) the term of the Executive Agreements (if shorter) shall be automatically extended until the second anniversary of the date of the Change of Control; and (ii) during the remaining term of the Executive Agreements (as extended), and provided that an executive is employed on the last day of a fiscal year ending in that period, the executive will be entitled to an annual bonus at least equal to the Annual Bonus Amount, payable no later than March 15 in the next succeeding fiscal year.
|
Appointment of President and Chief Executive Officer
Effective on February 1, 2016, our Board appointed Craig Fraser, 51, to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board also appointed Mr. Fraser to serve as a member of the Board, effective immediately. (Mr. Fraser’s background appears in Item 10, above.) At the time of his appointments, Mr. Fraser was not a related person to us and there was no transaction or other arrangement involving us under which Mr. Fraser or any of his related persons has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. He has no family relationship with any of our other directors or executive officers.
Effective February 1, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Fraser (the “Fraser Agreement”) that included terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the terms of the Executive Agreements described above, except as follows:
|
• |
The Fraser Agreement is effective until terminated. Mr. Fraser’s initial base salary is $415,000. He will be eligible for an annual bonus with a target of 50% of base salary (the “Target Bonus”), as may be awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In connection with his hiring, Mr. Fraser was awarded an inducement grant in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) in the form of an option to purchase 204,863 shares of our common stock, representing 2.5% of our outstanding shares, at an exercise price of $2.33 per share, which was the closing price on February 2, 2016 and the price next determined after approval of the grant. These options will vest in three equal installments on the next three anniversary dates of the grant, provided that Mr. Fraser remains employed with us throughout the period. The option has a term of 10 years. Although issued outside the Company's 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan), the option is subject to terms and conditions that are generally consistent with the 2011 Plan and the form of option agreement in effect thereunder. |
|
• |
Upon termination by us without Cause or by Mr. Fraser for Good Reason (in each case, the definitions are substantially as set forth in the Executive Agreements), subject to the terms and limitations discussed above with respect to the other contract executives and determined on the same basis, Mr. Fraser will be entitled to the following benefits: (i) a pro-rated bonus; (ii) a severance amount payable over a Severance Period of 12 months; and (iii) all of his vested equity awards will continue to be exercisable for a period of 12 months after the date of termination. In addition, if Mr. Fraser elects COBRA, he will be entitled to a continuation of benefits during his Severance Period on the same terms as outlined above for other contract executives. |
|
• |
Upon termination in connection with a Change of Control, subject to the terms and limitations discussed above with respect to the other contract executives (other than Mr. Cooper), Mr. Fraser will be entitled to the following benefits: (i) a pro-rated bonus; (ii) a severance amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of his base salary then in effect (determined without regard to any reduction constituting Good Reason) and his Target Bonus; and (iii) all Executive Equity Awards shall accelerate and become fully vested and any restrictions under restricted stock agreements will be lifted. The foregoing payment will be payable in a lump sum within 10 days after the date of termination except in certain circumstances. In addition, if Mr. Fraser elects COBRA, he will be entitled to a continuation of benefits for 18 months on the same terms as outlined above for other contract executives. |
|
• |
Upon a Change of Control and assuming that Mr. Fraser remains employed with us, subject to the terms and limitations discussed above with respect to the other contract executives, he will be entitled to the same benefits as will be available to the other contract executives. |
Executive Separation Agreements
John G. Cooper
Effective February 1, 2016, we and John G. Cooper, our then President and Chief Executive Officer, terminated his Employment Agreement dated April 1, 2013, as amended December 29, 2014. Under the terms of his Employment Agreement, Mr. Cooper is entitled to receive the benefits outlined above under the caption “Executive Employment Agreements” with respect to benefits in connection with a termination without Cause. In addition, Mr. Cooper agreed to cooperate in the transition of his duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably requested by the Company, and cooperate in other matters in which his cooperation may be reasonably requested for up to 10 hours per month during the Severance Period. The Company has agreed, with certain exceptions, to pay Mr. Cooper an hourly rate of $300 per hour for his time incurred in excess of 10 hours per month during the Severance Period.
Thomas F. Miller
Effective April 17, 2015, we terminated the Employment Agreement of Thomas F. Miller. Under the terms of his Employment Agreement, he became entitled to receive the benefits outlined above under the caption “Executive Employment Agreements,” with respect to benefits in connection with a termination without Cause. Mr. Miller did not receive continuation of benefits under his employment agreement as such benefits were available from his subsequent employer.
Director Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors receives cash compensation for his services. Directors who are also employees are not compensated separately for serving on the Board or any of its committees. On June 10, 2014, the Compensation Committee and Board approved cash compensation for non-employee directors as follows: (i) $8,750 per quarter for all directors other than the Chairman of the Board, and $15,000 per quarter for the Chairman of the Board; (ii) $3,750 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Audit Committee; (iii) $2,500 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Compensation Committee; (iv) $1,875 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Nomination and Governance Committee; (v) $1,750 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Audit Committee; (vi) $1,250 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Compensation Committee; and (vii) $1,000 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Nomination and Governance Committee. In addition, in order to better align the interests of our Board with our stockholders, the Compensation Committee considers and recommends to the Board long-term equity compensation. On August, 14, 2015, in addition to approving retainers for the following year in the amounts authorized under the June 10, 2014 resolutions, the Compensation Committee approved an award to each non-employee director of options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units as set forth in the table below. These awards, which were issued pursuant to our 2011 Plan, were approved after due consideration of the practices of other similarly situated biotechnology companies in providing equity compensation to their non-employee directors. The foregoing annual compensation amounts and equity awards will remain in effect until superseded. The Compensation Committee plans to conduct a review of peer company director compensation practices periodically, including before considering changes to our director compensation policy and amounts in the future.
The following chart summarizes the cash and non-cash compensation paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2015. To improve readability, the following columns have been removed from the table, as there is no reportable information with respect to these items: “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” and “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
Transactions between the Company and Related Parties
There were no reportable transactions between us and any person that is a related party to us since the beginning of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2015, and none are currently proposed. Any proposed transaction between us and any related party that involves an amount in excess of the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years must be submitted to, and reviewed and approved by, the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee will make its determination based on the particular circumstances of the proposed transaction, including whether the proposed transaction is in our best interest and does not involve an expense in excess of that which would likely be incurred in an arms’ length transaction. In reviewing such transactions, the Audit Committee refers to our written corporate policies related to conflicts of interest and related party transactions.
Director Independence
The Board presently consists of five members, one of whom also serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Presently, Messrs. Leone, Mahady and Peacock and Dr. Rosenthale are “independent” directors within the meaning of the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing requirements. Each director who serves on a standing committee, including the Compensation Committee, the Nomination and Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, is considered to be “independent” within the meaning of the SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing requirements.

Audit Fees are fees that we paid to Ernst & Young LLP for: the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and the review of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Audit-Related Fees are fees for services related to registration statements and other offering memoranda and accounting consultation.
Tax Fees consisted of tax compliance/preparation and other tax services. No portion of these Tax Fees are related to financial information or operational system design or implementation services.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of all other services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP and has concluded that Ernst & Young LLP is independent.
Pre-Approval Policies
The Audit Committee pre-approves specified audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors prior to the engagement of our independent auditors. With respect to other audit and non-audit services, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has the authority to approve any additional audit services and permissible non-audit services, provided the Chairman informs the Audit Committee of such approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Our Chief Financial Officer monitors the performance of all services rendered by our independent auditors, determines whether such services are within the list of pre-approved services and informs the Audit Committee on a timely basis of any such services.
On an ongoing basis, our Chief Financial Officer, together with our independent auditor, is responsible to submit to the Audit Committee all requests for approval of services that require a specific pre-approval. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management and the independent auditors if the Audit Committee pre-approves the engagement of the independent auditors for such projects and services. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a sub-committee of the Audit Committee, provided that any such pre-approvals are reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.
