Explanatory Note

This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (the "Amendment") is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Original Filing”) for the purposes of including information that was to be incorporated by reference from the Registrant's definitive proxy statement pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Registrant will not file its proxy statement within 120 days of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and is therefore amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K as set forth below to include such information.

In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we have also included as exhibits currently dated certifications required under Section 302 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are amending and refiling Part IV to reflect the inclusion of those certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Filing. The filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A is not a representation that any statements contained in items of our Annual Report on Form 10-K other than Part III, Items 10 through 14, and Part IV are true or complete as of any date subsequent to the Original Filing.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us and written representations provided to us by all of our directors and executive officers and certain of our greater than 10% stockholders, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that due to computer-related technical difficulties, one Form 4 that reported one transaction was filed one day late on behalf of Dr. Baffi.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at http://ir.kalobios.com/governance.cfm.

Love and Gary Lyons, each of whom is “independent” as such term is defined for audit committee members by the NASDAQ listing requirements. Dr. Gilbert serves as the chair of the audit committee. The Board has determined that Dr. Gilbert is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC. Pursuant to the audit committee charter, the functions of the committee include, among other things:

---

Narrative to Compensation Tables

Cash Incentive Plan Compensation

Our 2014 annual cash incentive bonus program for our named executive officers incorporated corporate and individual performance objectives that applied to the full fiscal year 2014. Accordingly, for the 2014 period, Mr. Pritchard received a bonus of $151,900, Mr. Cross received a bonus of $95,540 and Dr. Molfino received a bonus of $92,040.  Target annual bonus amounts are established as a percentage of the officer’s base salary, with Mr. Pritchard’s target bonus for each performance period set at 50% of his base salary and Dr. Molfino and Mr. Cross each set at 40% of their respective base salaries. The 2014 performance objectives that applied to Mr. Pritchard’s cash incentive bonuses relate 100% to corporate-level objectives, whereas Dr. Molfino’s and Mr. Cross’s cash incentive bonuses each related 75% to corporate-level objectives and 25% to individual objectives in achievement of certain clinical development milestones.  In February 2015, our compensation committee and our Board of Directors determined that for 2014, the corporate-level performance objectives had been achieved at the 62% level, and that the applicable individual-level objectives had been achieved at the 95% level for Mr. Cross and at the 50% level for Dr. Molfino. Accordingly, for fiscal 2014, our named executive officers received the amounts under our annual cash incentive bonus program reflected for that year in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the table above. The corporate-level performance metrics that applied January 2014 through December 2014 included achievement of certain clinical development milestones.

Stock Options

We offer stock options to our employees, including our named executive officers, as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options allow our employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant as determined on such date. Generally, our stock options granted to new hires vest as to 25% of the total number of option shares granted on the first anniversary of the award and in equal monthly installments over the ensuing 36 months, whereas subsequent grants to employees generally vest in equal monthly installments over 48 months. To date, the only form of equity compensation granted to our named executive officers has been stock options, although our compensation committee and Board have the right to, and may in the future, grant other types of equity awards, such as restricted shares or restricted stock units.  Mr. Pritchard and Dr. Molfino were granted options in 2014, each of which vest ratably over 48 months of continuous service after January 1, 2014.

In connection with our registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to Form 10, our Board of Directors and stockholders approved an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) intended to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 423. This program is a payroll-deduction stock purchase plan that permits purchases of our common stock at a discount to the price at which our stock is trading on the purchase date within the limits allowed under applicable federal tax law.  We chose not to implement the ESPP until late 2014, at which time all eligible employees, including our named executive officers, were offered the opportunity to participate in this plan, which operates in a series of consecutive six-month offering/purchase periods.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year End

The following table shows certain information regarding outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2014.

 

---

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

Prior to our initial public offering, we entered into letter agreements with each of our named executive officers that provide severance benefits in connection with an involuntary termination of employment within 12 months after a change in control, as described below. These letter agreements remained in effect through the end of fiscal year 2013.

During fiscal year 2014, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with certain executive officers (including our named executive officers) which replaced and superseded the letter agreements described above. These amended and restated employment agreements, which were intended to provide greater consistency of employment terms between us and our senior management team, provide for a three-year term, with automatic one-year renewal periods at the end of that term unless either party provides notice of intent to terminate. Each member of the senior management team, including our named executive officers, will continue to be an at-will employee of the Company. Like the prior letter agreements, each amended and restated employment agreement requires as a condition to receipt of severance benefits that the officer provide us with a general release of claims.

---

 

These amended and restated employment agreements provide that if employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the agreements) or if the applicable employment agreement is not renewed by us, then the terminated named executive officer will become eligible to receive the following severance benefits for a period of twelve months in Mr. Pritchard’s case and nine months each in the case of Mr. Cross and Dr. Molfino: (i) salary continuation, (ii) an amount equal to the cost of the officer’s COBRA coverage (less the active rate for such coverage) for the applicable period, payable as a lump sum, (iii) a pro-rated incentive bonus , and (iv) vesting credit under any then-unvested equity awards.

In connection with the retirement of Mr. Pritchard in January 2015 and termination of Dr. Molfino’s position as part of a reduction in force in February 2015, the severance provisions described above were implemented with respect to each of them.

The amended and restated employment agreement remains in place for Mr. Cross also provides (and previously provided for Mr. Pritchard and Dr. Molfino) that if, in connection with or within one year following a change in control, employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason, then the terminated executive will become eligible to receive the following severance benefits: (i) fifteen months (eighteen months for Mr. Pritchard) of salary continuation, (ii) an amount equal to the cost of fifteen months (eighteen months for Mr. Pritchard) of COBRA coverage less the active rate for such coverage, payable as a lump sum, (iii) 125% (150% for Mr. Pritchard) of his target incentive bonus, and (iv) full vesting of all then-unvested equity awards.

Retirement Benefits

We have established a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan, which permits participants, including our named executive officers, to make contributions by salary deduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are responsible for administrative costs of the 401(k) plan. We may, in our discretion, make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan. No employer contributions have been made to date.

Director Compensation

In connection with our initial public offering in 2013, our compensation committee engaged Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company, to, among other things, conduct a review of our Board of Directors compensation program. Radford recommended that certain changes be made to our Board of Directors compensation program to align with the 50th percentile when compared to our peer group as determined by Radford (the “Director Compensation Program”). The Director Compensation Program was recommended to and approved by our Board of Directors and became effective during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our Board of Directors has the authority to amend the compensation program for its members at any time.

Pursuant to the Director Compensation Program each member of our Board of Directors who is not our employee is eligible to receive an annual cash retainer and annual equity compensation. The annual cash retainer amounts payable to our eligible directors are as follows:

---

 

The equity compensation component of our Directors Compensation Program, provides that newly appointed directors will be granted an initial option to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock (the “Initial Option Grant”) and continuing directors are eligible to receive an annual option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock (the “Annual Option Grant”). Initial Stock Option Grants are granted as soon as reasonably practicable following appointment to the Board and vest ratably over 36 months of continuous service following the date on which the director is appointed to our Board of Directors.  Annual Option Grants are generally granted immediately following the completion of our annual stockholder meeting and vest ratably over 12 months of continuous service following the date of grant.

In connection with Dr. Baffi’s appointment to our Board of Directors in late 2014, after consultation with Radford due to a significant and sustained drop in our stock price, our Board approved the grant to him of an option to purchase 40,000 shares (rather than the 20,000 share option called for under our Director Compensation Program), vesting monthly over three years. In April 2015, in connection with Ronald A. Martell’s appointment to our Board of Directors, our Board approved the grant to him of an option to purchase 30,000 shares, vesting monthly over three years, and a grant of 30,000 restricted stock units, vesting annually over three years.  In each case, these new directors received the cash compensation provided for under our standard Director Compensation Program.

The following table shows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 certain information with respect to the compensation of all of our non-employee directors:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As of December 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee consisted of Mr. Lyons (Chairman), Dr. Smaldone Alsup and Dr. Withy, none of whom is a present or former officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. We have had a Compensation Committee for eight and a half years. Each of the members of the committee qualifies as (i) an "independent director" under the requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, (ii) a "non-employee director" under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), (iii) an "outside
