ITEM 5.02    DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
(e) Amendment of Executive Severance Benefit Plan
On May 7, 2015, the Board of Directors of Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Executive Severance Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) to apply to all stock awards. The Plan was originally adopted by the Board on December 17, 2013, prior to the Company’s initial public offering. When the Board originally adopted the Plan, the Company had only issued stock options to its employees, including management. The Company now issues both stock options and restricted stock awards to its employees, as previously disclosed. The sole purpose of this amendment, therefore, was to clarify that the Plan applies to all stock awards that may be issued by the Company, including without limitation stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.
The foregoing summary of the amendment to the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Benefit Plan that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
