Item 8.01. Other Events
Dani P. Bolognesi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Scientific Officer of Trimeris Inc. (the "Company") has advised us that he has entered into a written stock selling plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for exercise of certain employee stock options and the subsequent sale of the acquired shares on the open market, subject to certain specified limitations. The options to which the Plan relates were granted in May 1996 and are set to expire in May 2006. The Plan calls for option exercises and sales to occur monthly. The timing of the option exercises and subsequent sales is at the broker's discretion. Option exercises and sales pursuant to the Plan were permitted to commence June 11, 2005, and will continue until May 1, 2006, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan.Dr. Bolognesi has advised the Company that the purpose of the Plan is to achieve diversification and liquidity in his financial portfolio. The Plan does not cover any of the shares of Company common stock currently held by Dr. Bolognesi; any sales under the Plan of option shares will not reduce his total ownership of the Company and he will continue to have a significant interest in the Company.
