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

(e) On February 13, 2018, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of FibroGen, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2018 Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan is designed to incorporate individual goals and major corporate objectives to determine overall bonus awards for participants in the Bonus Plan, including the Company’s executive officers.

Under the Bonus Plan, the Committee, in consultation with the Board and management, has introduced individual achievement of goals as a new component of the Bonus Plan. A bonus shall generally be determined based upon the achievement of both individual and corporate goals. Further, specific performance criteria for setting goals has been established in the Bonus Plan. Each participant shall have a target bonus based on a percentage of annual base salary. The actual bonus payout percentage and individual awards are determined by the Committee based on its assessment of corporate goal achievement, and individual goal achievement based on recommendations of management (other than for the Chief Executive Officer). The maximum award payable to an individual shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of an individual’s target bonus.

The foregoing summary of the Bonus Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bonus Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.
