The following offer is subject to Board approval.
The terms of this offer are as follows:
1. | You will receive a base salary of $400,000 per year ($16,666.67 per pay period}, less applicable taxes and withholdings, paid in accordance with Veracyte's established payroll schedule, presently semi-monthly. |
In addition, you will be eligible to participate in the Veracyte 2017 Bonus Program. Your target bonus for 2017 will be 50% of eligible annual earnings. Payout is dependent on company and individual performance and is not guaranteed.
2. | You will be granted the option to purchase 100,000 shares of Veracyte Common Stock. The price per share will be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (your Veracyte hire date). The vesting will begin on the first anniversary of your employment, and then 1/36 of the shares will vest each month for the next 36 months. |
In addition, on your hire date you will be granted 25,000 RSUs that will vest on the one-year anniversary of your Veracyte employment.

If you and your family relocate to the Bay Area, the Company agrees to pay reasonable relocation costs with terms to which we mutually agree in advance. |
