BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Our board of directors held four meetings during fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. One director, Mr. Sandage, attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board. No other director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board and any committee of which the director was a member. Our board of directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.
We do not have a policy with regard to board members’ attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. No board members attended last year’s annual meeting.
Independence of Directors
Each of our directors, other than Philip J. Young, our President and Chief Executive Officer, qualify as “independent directors” under applicable standards and has no relationship which, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our directors reviewed and discussed information provided by our directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to us and our management. The board will assess the independence of Mr. Kenny and Mr. O’Flynn after the effectiveness of their appointments as directors and after reviewing information provided by them to the board.
Board Leadership Structure
The board has determined that having an independent director serve as chairman of the board is in our best interests and those of our stockholders; consequently, the roles of chairman of the board and principal executive officer are currently separated. Our Chairman of the Board is currently John M. Barberich and our principal executive officer is currently Philip J. Young, our President and Chief Executive Officer. An executive session conducted with solely independent directors generally takes place at each regularly scheduled meeting of the board.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
The board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risks. In carrying out this responsibility, the board evaluates the most critical risks relating to our business, allocates responsibilities for the oversight of risks among the full board and its committees, and ensures that management has established effective systems and processes for managing the Company’s risks. Additionally, because risk is inherently present in the Company’s strategic decisions, the board analyzes risk on an ongoing basis in connection with its consideration of specific proposed actions.
While the board is responsible for oversight, management is responsible for identifying and communicating risk to the board. Management fulfills this obligation in a variety of ways, including its establishment of appropriate and effective internal processes for the identification of risk. Management may report its findings to the full board or its committees. Committees of the board play an important role in risk oversight, including the Audit Committee, which oversees our processes for assessing risks and the effectiveness of our internal controls, and the Compensation Committee, which oversees risks present in the Company’s compensation programs. Committees, to the extent that they deem appropriate, report their findings and deliberations with respect to risk to the full board.
In fulfilling its duties, the Audit Committee oversees and works in conjunction with our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is responsible for making examinations as necessary to monitor corporate financial reporting and the internal and external audits of the Company, reporting to the board the results of such examinations and recommending changes that may be made in the Company’s internal accounting controls. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultants, periodically reviews the Company’s compensation policies and profile with management to ensure that executive compensation incentivizes its executive officers to meet the Company’s goals and strategic objectives.
Compensation Committee
For 2009, our board of directors appointed Klaus Eldrup-Jørgensen, Christian Hansen and Christopher B. Wood to our compensation committee. For 2010, our board of directors appointed Klaus Eldrup-Jørgensen, John M. Barberich and Bobby W. Sandage Jr., Ph.D. to our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has the responsibility to make recommendations to our board of directors with respect to all forms of compensation paid to our executive officers, members of our board of directors, to such other officers as directed by our board of directors, and any other compensation matters as from time to time directed by our board of directors. Our compensation committee met once in January 2009 and once in January 2010. Our compensation committee does not currently have a charter at this time.

Audit Committee
Our audit committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our audit committee assists our board of directors by overseeing the performance of the independent auditors and the quality and integrity of our internal accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices. For 2009, our board of directors had appointed Christopher B. Wood, Klaus Eldrup-Jørgensen and Bobby W. Sandage, Jr., Ph.D. to our audit committee. Each of the members meets the independence requirements and standards currently established by the SEC. Our board of directors designated the former chairman of our audit committee, Christopher B. Wood, as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC because he has considerable experience overseeing the chief financial officer at a U.S. public biotechnology company. Our audit committee does not currently have a charter at this time.
On December 29, 2009, in connection with the securities purchase agreement detailed in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”, Christopher B. Wood resigned from the board. On January 20, 2010, the board appointed John M. Barberich as the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Our board of directors has designated John M. Barberich as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC because he has served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of three biopharmaceutical companies.
Our audit committee is responsible for retaining and, as necessary, terminating the independent auditors; reviewing, on an annual basis, the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditors; and pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the auditors and related fees. In performing all of these functions, our audit committee relies on the work and assurances of our management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and the independent auditors, who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the our annual financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit committee met twice in 2009.
The board as a whole has elected to retain for itself the functions of the nominating and governance committee.
Review of our Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009
In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, our audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm Witt Mares LLC.
Our audit committee discussed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA,Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. Our audit committee also received and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors’ independence. Our audit committee also considered with the independent auditors whether the provision of non-audit services during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was compatible with the independent auditors’ independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Nomination Process
Our board as a whole has elected to retain for itself the functions of the nominating and governance committee, and therefore does not have a standing nominating committee. Each director of our board participates in the consideration of director nominees. In identifying and evaluating individuals, including individuals proposed by stockholders, our board considers the appropriate balance of experience, skills and characteristics required of the board of directors, and seeks to ensure that at least a majority of our directors are independent under applicable rules and at least one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules and regulations. Nominees for director are selected based on the basis of their depth and breadth of experience, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to board duties.
In the ordinary course, absent special circumstances or a material change in the criteria for board membership, our board will re-nominate incumbent directors who continue to be qualified for board service and are willing to continue as directors. If an incumbent director is not standing for re-election, or if a vacancy on the board occurs between annual stockholder meetings, our board will seek out potential candidates for board appointment who meeting the criteria for selection as a nominee and have the specific qualities or skills being sought. Director candidates will be selected based on input from our board, our senior management, stockholder nominations, and, if our board deems appropriate, a third-party search firm. Our board will evaluate each candidate’s qualifications and check relevant references. Candidates meriting serious consideration will then meet with the members of our board, which will evaluate which of the prospective candidates is qualified to serve as a director and whether such candidate should be appointed to fill a vacancy or presented for the approval of stockholders, as appropriate.
Our board believes that the interests of the stockholders are best served by a board of directors whose members collectively have a diverse balance of experience, skills and characteristics as appropriate to our business because it encourages a full discussion on board topics from a variety of viewpoints and with the benefit of many different experiences. Although we do not have a policy regarding diversity, in looking for a candidate who will best meet the particular needs of the board at the time, our board does consider whether specific skills, background and work experience of a candidate would add to and complement the existing viewpoints represented by the present members of our board. Our board believes that the current board composition does represent a diversity of experience and skills appropriate to our business.
PROCESS FOR SENDING COMMUNICATIONS TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our board of directors maintains a process for stockholders to communicate with the board. Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors or any individual director must mail a communication addressed to the board or the individual director to the board of directors of Osteologix, Inc., 4415 Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Any such communication must state the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the stockholder making the communication. All of such communications will be forwarded to the full board of directors or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed unless the communication is clearly of a marketing nature or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, or similarly inappropriate, in which case we have the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding the communication.
Nomination by Stockholders
Our board of directors accepts director nominations made by stockholders. Our board of directors may consider those factors it deems appropriate in evaluating director nominees, including judgment, skill, diversity, strength of character, experience with businesses and organizations comparable in size or scope to us, experience and skill relative to other board members, and specialized knowledge or experience. Depending upon the current needs of our board of directors, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily. In considering candidates for our board of directors, they evaluate the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and do not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. They will consider candidates from any reasonable source, including current board members, stockholders, professional search firms or other persons. They will not evaluate candidates differently based on who has made the recommendation.
Our By-Laws include a provision that permits a stockholder of record that beneficially owned more than five percent of our voting stock for at least one year as of the date of the recommendation to submit to us the name of any person whom the stockholder wishes to nominate as a candidate for election to the board of directors. In general, such a submission must be received by our corporate secretary at our principal office 30 days prior to the filing of our proxy statement before the annual stockholder meeting, and must contain all information about the candidate that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement prepared and filed under federal and state law, as well as the proposed nominee’s consent to be named as a nominee and to serve if elected. The stockholder must also provide information about his or her identity and the number of shares owned. If the nomination is made by a stockholder holding shares in “street name,” then the identity and ownership information must be furnished about the beneficial owner of the shares. A candidate submitted by a stockholder as a nominee need not be nominated by the independent directors.
6
We are required to include in our future proxy statements information about a recommended stockholder nominee, but only when the following criteria are met:
| • | | The proposed nomination is received by a date not later than the 120th day before the date (i.e., the month and day) of our proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the prior year’s annual meeting. |
|
| • | | The stockholder or stockholder group making the proposal has beneficially owned more than 5% of our voting stock for at least a year. |
If those criteria are met, and provided that we have written consent from the proposed candidate and from the stockholder or stockholder group, we would be obliged to identify in our proxy statement the name of the candidate and the stockholder or stockholder group making the nomination, and to disclose our position regarding the nomination.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Based on our review of copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed with the SEC or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all officers, directors, and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners timely complied with the applicable filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except Mr. Barberich, who filed a Form 3 late.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. A special committee of our board of directors will be responsible for reviewing transactions with related persons and did so during the most recently ended fiscal year.
From January 1, 2008 to the present, there have been two transactions in which the amount involved exceeded one percent (1%) average of our total assets at year end for our past two completed fiscal years to which Osteologix was a party and in which any executive officer, director, 5% beneficial owner of common stock or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or has a direct or indirect material interest other than compensation agreements and other arrangements, that are described where required under “Executive Compensation.” Further information on these transactions is as follows:
On December 29, 2009, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Nordic Biotech Opportunity Fund K/S, an affiliate of Nordic Biotech K/S, the Company’s largest shareholder for the sale of 1,992,448 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000, or approximately $0.5019 per share, the 10 day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the end of trading on December 28, 2009. This transaction closed on January 7, 2010. Under the Purchase Agreement, for as long as Nordic is the beneficial owner of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the size of the Company’s board of directors may not exceed seven persons, and Nordic will have the right to cause the appointment of up to three members of the board. The terms and conditions of the offering were approved by an offering committee comprised of three independent directors which was formed by the board in connection with the Offering. On December 29, 2009, in connection with the Offering, Christian Hansen, Florian Schönharting and Christopher B. Wood resigned from the board. Following these resignations, on December 29, 2009, the board, upon the request of Nordic, elected John M. Barberich as a director, effective immediately. The board also appointed Mr. Barberich to serve as the chairman of the board and fixed the size of the board at five members.

On March 27, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with two investors for the sale of an aggregate of 2,015,151 units, each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock and one common stock purchase warrant with an exercise price equal to $1.32 per share and an expiration date of September 30, 2009. This transaction closed on April 17, 2008. The purchase price was $2.64 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $5,320,000. Nordic Biotech Opportunity Fund K/S, an affiliate of Nordic Biotech K/S, our largest shareholder, purchased 1,515,151 units. An unaffiliated investor purchased the other 500,000 units. This transaction was approved by a committee of our board of directors consisting only of disinterested directors.

(1) | | The grant date fair value of warrant and option awards are based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model as used in our consolidated financial statements pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718. The Black-Scholes option pricing model reflects certain assumptions regarding variable factors such stock price volatility and the term of the option. Stock options have value to the recipient only as a result of appreciation in the price of our common stock. For the purposes of establishing the value shown in the table, the model assumed a dividend yield of zero, risk-free interest rate of 4.5% to 5.0%, volatility factor of 70%, and an expected life of the options of three to six years. For financial reporting purposes, in 2008 [and 2009] we used an estimated forfeiture rate of 15% for the stock options granted. This estimated forfeiture rate has not been included in the balances in the table because the forfeiture rate is an overall estimate for the organization as a whole and cannot be attributed to the anticipated forfeiture of the options granted to specifically to any of our executive officers. |

(2) | | Mr. Young was hired as President and Chief Executive Officer effective May 1, 2007 with a 2007 annual salary of $350,000 which was increased to $367,500 by the board for 2008 and 2009. |

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
The purpose of our equity incentive plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, and to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants to promote the success of our business. On May 2, 2006, our board of directors adopted our equity incentive plan. On March 28, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment to our equity incentive plan which increased the number of shares available for award thereunder to 2,400,000 from 1,122,762. Our equity incentive plan, as amended, was approved by a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock on April 18, 2007. Our board of directors believes that the grant of options is a highly effective way to align the interests of management with those of our stockholders and provides a cost-effective means of recognizing employee contributions to our success.
Our equity incentive plan provides for grants of options to purchase common stock to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. A total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plan, and as of April 26, 2010, options to purchase 330,000 shares are outstanding thereunder.
Prior to the adoption of the Plan, Osteologix A/S granted its officers, directors and consultants warrants to purchase its common stock. Concurrent with the merger transaction on May 24, 2006, these warrants were exchanged for warrants to purchase our common stock at the same exchange ratio as received by the shareholder of Osteologix A/S. After the exchange, 979,307 warrants to purchase common stock were issued. 225,240 of these warrants remain outstanding as of April 26, 2010.
We have also granted options to purchase shares of our common stock outside of our equity incentive plan. These options do not qualify for incentive stock option status, and have been granted to members of our board of directors. A total of 510,000 options have been granted outside of our equity incentive plan and remain outstanding as of April 26, 2010.
The following table provides certain information with respect to all of our equity issuances and equity compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2009.
