(e) On September 27, 2012, EnteroMedics Inc. (the "Company") held a Special
Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, the
Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Amended and Restated Stock Plan"). The Amended and Restated Stock
Plan was previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August 20,
2012, subject to stockholder approval. The Amended and Restated Stock Plan
includes amendments which (i) authorize an additional 8,000,000 shares for
issuance under the Plan, (ii) extend the term of the Plan to September 27, 2022,
(iii) give the Compensation Committee the flexibility to cash out outstanding
awards without participant consent in connection with a corporate transaction,
(iv) modernize the provisions of the Amended and Restated Stock Plan with
respect to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and Section 409A of the Code and (v) make certain other clarification
and administrative changes.
The purpose of the Amended and Restated Stock Plan is to aid in attracting and retaining employees, management personnel, other personnel and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company and to incentivize such personnel and non-employee directors to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company's business by affording such personnel and non-employee directors an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The Amended and Restated Stock Plan, which is administered by Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock awards and other stock-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Stock Plan since its inception is 12,300,000.
The Company's Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Amended and Restated Stock Plan at any time, except as provided in the Amended and Restated Stock Plan. Unless the Amended and Restated Stock Plan is otherwise amended by the Board of Directors, no awards may be granted under the Amended and Restated Stock Plan after September 27, 2022.
This summary of the Amended and Restated Stock Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Stock Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
