Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

At the Annual Meeting of the stockholders of CohBar, Inc (the “Company”), held on June 15, 2017, the stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The amendments to the Plan were previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The Plan amendments (a) increased the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 718,471; and (b) removed a restriction on issuances of shares under the Plan to the Company’s insiders in excess of 10% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. After giving effect to the Plan amendments, there are 7,171,540 total shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan (including shares reserved for issuance under currently outstanding stock options), which is equal to 20% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock presently outstanding. 

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 15, 2017, the Company held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).
