Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Adoption of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

 

On December 28, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Bone Biologics Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Compensation Policy”) to provide for the terms of the compensation to be paid to certain of its non-employee directors for his or her service following the effective date of the Compensation Policy. Pursuant to the Compensation Policy, each non-employee director of the Company other than the Board Chair will receive a $25,000 annual retainer, and the non-employee director serving as the Board Chair will receive a $35,000 annual retainer. Each non-employee director serving as Chairman of the Audit, Compensation or Corporate Governance Committee will receive an additional $5,000 retainer. Without any further action of the Board, at the close of business on the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders following approval of the Compensation Policy, each non-employee director shall be granted a nonstatutory stock option to purchase a number of shares of Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) having an option value of $50,000, under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which will vest in a series of four (4) successive quarterly installments over the one-year period measured from the date of grant. If the non-employee director remains in continuous service immediately prior to a change in control, then the shares subject to the non-employee director’s then-outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to the Compensation Policy will become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time of such change in control. Non-employee directors John Booth, Bill Coffin, Jimmy Delshad, George Oram, Dr. Bessie (Chia) Soo, Steve Warnecke, and Dr. Benjamin Wu have agreed to be subject to the Compensation Policy. The Compensation Policy does not apply to the current Chairman of the Board, Bruce Stroever.

 

The foregoing description of the Compensation Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such Compensation Policy attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Individual Non-Employee Director Offer Letter Amendments.

 

On December 28, 2015, the Board approved an amendment to the Director Offer Letter between the Company and each of John Booth, Bill Coffin, Jimmy Delshad, George Oram, Dr. Bessie (Chia) Soo, Steve Warnecke, and Dr. Benjamin Wu, respectively, each of whom is a non-employee director serving on the Board, to clarify each non-employee director’s rights to certain option and stock grants for past services rendered, and to amend Section 4 of each non-employee director’s offer letter agreement with the Company to provide that future compensation for services rendered shall be governed by the Compensation Policy.

 

The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Director Offer Letter Amendment.

 

On December 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) to clarify MTF’s rights to certain stock grants for services rendered by Bruce Stroever, the current Chairman of the Board and to amend the terms of the Management Consulting Agreement by and between the Company and MTF (the “MTF Amendment”). Under the terms of the MTF Amendment, MTF will automatically be granted a nonstatutory stock option outside of but subject to the terms of the Plan to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock having an option value (calculated on the date of grant) equal to $50,000, which will vest in a series of four (4) successive equal quarterly installments over the one-year period measured from the date of grant, subject to Mr. Stroever’s Continuous Service on each applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mr. Stroever remains in continuous service with the Company until immediately prior to the effective time of a change in control, any unvested shares subject to the stock option shall become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time of such change of control.

 

The foregoing description of the MTF Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such MTF Amendment attached here to as Exhibit 10.2.

The stockholders approved the Plan by unanimous written consent without a meeting pursuant to Section 228 and Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporations Law. The Plan provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units awards, performance stock awards, and performance cash awards to eligible employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

 

   
   

 

The Plan permits the issuance of a maximum of 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The Plan expires automatically on December 27, 2025. Grants made under the Plan will be made pursuant to a form of stock award grant notice and stock award agreement.

 

On December 28, 2015, the Board approved the stock option grants covering an aggregate of 6,244,226 shares of Common Stock to employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company under the Plan that were not conditioned on stockholder approval.

 

The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and the form of stock award grant notice and stock award agreement and form of restricted stock unit award are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5, respectively.
