Item 5.02 Departures of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 10, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Kathrine O’Brien and Anne M. Phillips, M.D., FRCPC to its Board, effective immediately, to serve as independent directors.
At the time of this disclosure, Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips were not named to any committees of the Board and no committee assignments are contemplated at this time. There are no family relationships between either of Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips and any director or executive officer of the Company, and neither has a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with their appointment as a non-employee director and pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips were each granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 6,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the terms and conditions of the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), at an exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The foregoing stock options have a ten-year term and will vest in equal monthly installments over a two-year period, for so long as Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips continue to serve as directors of the Company.
In addition, Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips were each granted non-qualified stock options under the Company’s 2007 Plan to purchase 1,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reflecting the pro-rated portion of the directors’ annual stock option grants. The foregoing stock options have a ten-year term and will each vest on May 1, 2019. Further, Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips were each granted restricted stock units under the Company’s 2007 Plan covering 564 shares of the Company’s common stock, reflecting the pro-rated portion of the directors’ annual restricted stock unit grants. These restricted stock unit awards will each vest on May 1, 2019, provided that delivery of any vested shares of common stock underlying the foregoing restricted stock units shall be deferred until the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) as soon as practicable (but not later than 90 days) following the date of termination of service, provided that such termination constitutes a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). The grants made to Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips described in this paragraph were made in accordance with the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy.
Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips will be entitled to all other applicable compensation described in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy as described starting on page 21 of the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of Ms. O’Brien and Dr. Phillips in substantially the same form entered into with the other members of the Company’s Board.
