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

Effective August 19, 2024, the compensation committee of the board of directors of Boundless Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an option repricing (the “Repricing”) of the outstanding stock options held by certain employees, including our named executive officers. As permitted under the terms of the Company’s equity plans, the exercise price of each outstanding stock option with an exercise price per share of $3.71 or greater held by those employees eligible for the Repricing was reduced to $3.56 per share, the closing price of our common stock on August 19, 2024. The compensation committee approved the Repricing in order to retain and motivate key contributors of the Company without incurring the dilution resulting from significant additional equity grants to our employees or significant additional cash expenditures resulting from additional cash compensation.

 

An employee’s ability to exercise a repriced option at the new, reduced exercise price is subject to the satisfaction of a service condition through the “Premium End Date” (as defined below). If, prior to the Premium End Date, a repriced option is exercised or an employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), the original exercise price per share of the repriced option will continue to apply. The “Premium End Date” means the earliest of: (i) August 19, 2026, (ii) the date immediately prior to the closing of a change in control, or (iii) the date of the employee’s Qualifying Termination. A “Qualifying Termination” includes (a) the involuntary termination of the employee’s employment by the Company due to a reduction in force (and other than for cause), subject to the employee’s execution of an effective general release of claims, or (b) the employee’s termination due to death or disability. Except for the reduction in the exercise prices of the repriced options as described above, the repriced options retain their existing terms.

 

The Company’s named executive officers hold the following aggregate number of repriced options: Zachary D. Hornby, our President and Chief Executive Officer: 1,147,242 repriced options, with original exercise prices ranging from $4.10 to $16.00; Klaus Wagner, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer: 316,893 repriced options, with original exercise prices ranging from $4.10 to $16.00; and Chris Hassig, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer: 292,821 repriced options, with original exercise prices ranging from $3.71 to $16.00.
