On March 2, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TG Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the2012 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), and the Company’s stockholders approved the Incentive Plan on April 16, 2012. Employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan, including the named executive officers. 75,000,000 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) were reserved and authorized for issuance under the Incentive Plan. In addition, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, the maximum number of subject to each of time-vesting options, time-vesting stock appreciation rights and performance-based stock awards shares that may be granted in any 12-month period was 25,000,000 each.A description of the material terms of the Incentive Plan was included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (File No. 001-32639) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2012.
As previously disclosed, on April 30, 2012, the Company effected a reverse stock split, pursuant to which every fifty six and one quarter (56.25) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split automatically combined into one share of fully-paid and nonassessable Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the automatic adjustment provisions contained in the Incentive Plan, following the Reverse Stock Split, 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, and the maximum number of shares subject to time-vesting options, time-vesting stock appreciation rights and performance-based stock awards were 444,444 each.
In approving the share limitations in the Incentive Plan, the Board did not appropriately contemplate the ratio that would be applied in the Reverse Stock Split, resulting in an inadequate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Incentive Plan and inadequate maximum limitations on individual awards for the Company to make grants to its employees and directors. Accordingly, on May 14, 2012,the Board approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Incentive Plan”) to (i) increase the number of shares available for grant thereunder by 4,666,667, such that 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock are now reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan, and (ii) increase the maximum limitations on individual awards, such that the maximum number of shares subject to time-vesting options, time-vesting stock appreciation rights and performance-based stock awards is 2,000,000, 2,000,000 and 2,000,00 each.
