Item 5.02
Corporate Governance and Management

On November 13, 2017, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of MacroGenics, Inc. (the "Company") approved the appointment of Jay Siegel, M.D. to serve as a director on the Board, effectively immediately. Dr. Siegel has been designated a Class I director to hold office until the Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal. To accommodate the appointment, the Board increased the number of directors that constitute the Board from eight to nine.

Consistent with the Company's Director Compensation Program for non-employee directors, as described under the heading "Director Compensation" in the Company's most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2017, Dr. Siegel will receive an annual retainer of $35,000, which will be prorated from the date of his appointment to the Board. In addition, upon appointment to the Board, Dr. Siegel has been granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $17.85 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and vesting in 12 substantially equal monthly portions beginning on the first monthly anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Dr. Siegel's continued service on the Board through each vesting date.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Siegel and any other person pursuant to which Dr. Siegel was selected as a director, and there are no transactions in which the Company is a party and in which Dr. Siegel has a material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Dr. Siegel to the Board is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
