In connection with her appointment, Ms. Watanabe entered into the Company’s previously disclosed standard form of director Indemnification Agreement. She also received a grant of ten-year stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $13.50 per share, vesting in four equal annual installments.

 

The Company issued a press release with respect to the foregoing appointment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
