EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018

 

Each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) who is not also serving as an employee of Dova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries and is not affiliated with an entity that beneficially owns 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares (each such member, an “Eligible Director”) will receive the compensation described in this Eligible Director Compensation Policy for his or her Board service. A Eligible Director may decline all or any portion of his or her compensation by giving notice to the Company prior to the date cash may be paid or equity awards are to be granted, as the case may be. This policy may be amended at any time in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.

Unless a director elects otherwise, the annual cash compensation amount set forth below is payable in equal quarterly installments, payable in advance during the first 30 days of each quarter in which the service will occur. If an Eligible Director joins the Board or a committee of the Board at a time other than effective as of the first day of a fiscal quarter, each annual retainer set forth below will be pro-rated based on days served in the applicable fiscal year, with the pro-rated amount paid for the first fiscal quarter in which the Eligible Director provides the service (payable not later than 30 days after the Eligible Director commences such service), and regular full quarterly payments thereafter. All annual cash fees are vested upon payment.
