Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 25, 2016, at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Exelixis, Inc. ("Exelixis"), Exelixis' stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Exelixis, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 Purchase Plan”) to: (i) increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 5,000,000; (ii) provide Exelixis' Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Compensation Committee with the discretion to structure an offering so that if the fair market value of Exelixis' common stock on any purchase date during an offering is less than or equal to the fair market value of Exelixis' common stock on the first day of the offering, then (A) that offering will terminate immediately following the purchase of shares on such purchase date, and (B) the participants in such terminated offering will be automatically enrolled in a new offering that begins immediately after such purchase date; (iii) provide that upon certain changes in Exelixis' capitalization, the purchase price of outstanding purchase rights will be appropriately adjusted; and (iv) revise the definition of “corporate transaction” to include the acquisition of beneficial ownership of Exelixis' securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of members of the Board.
The purpose of the 2000 Purchase Plan is to provide a means by which Exelixis employees may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Exelixis common stock through payroll deductions, to assist Exelixis in retaining the services of its employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for Exelixis’ success. The rights to purchase common stock granted under the 2000 Purchase Plan are intended to qualify as options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The foregoing summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the 2000 Purchase Plan, filed as an Appendix to Exelixis, Inc.’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2016, and incorporated herein by reference.
