The Board appointed Andrew J. Fromkin, age 47, to the Board and as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 12, 2013.

Prior to his appointment with the Company, Mr. Fromkin served as an independent consultant since September 2012 and as the President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors, of Clinical Data, Inc., a biotechnology company, from May 2006 until its acquisition by Forest Laboratories, Inc. in April 2011.  The Company believes Mr. Fromkin’s qualifications to sit on its Board include his new role with the Company and his extensive operational knowledge of, and executive level management experience in, the healthcare industry.

2

There are no family relationships between Mr. Fromkin and any executive officers, directors, or other employees of the Company. Mr. Fromkin has no material interests in any transactions or proposed transactions with the Company.

Pursuant to an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Fromkin Employment Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Fromkin, dated November 12, 2013, Mr. Fromkin will serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board effective as of such date.

The Fromkin Employment Agreement provides for an initial base salary of $500,000 and the opportunity for Mr. Fromkin to earn an annual cash incentive award based on performance with a target value equal to 50% of Mr. Fromkin’s annual base salary. In addition, Mr. Fromkin will be eligible to have a one-time discretionary multiplier of up to 200% applied to his annual bonus, as determined by the Board, in the first year in which the Company consummates a qualified initial public offering or a strategic partnership, collaboration or licensing transaction relating to BA058 that the Board determines in its discretion constitutes a significant transaction (a “Significant Transaction”).  Further, the Company will reimburse Mr. Fromkin for (i) the reasonable, documented expenses he incurs for travel between his home in New Jersey and the Company’s office in Cambridge, Massachusetts and (ii) the reasonable, documented living expenses he incurs in connection with his lodging in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area, including an additional cash payment, if the reimbursement of any travel or lodging expenses incurred Mr. Fromkin is determined to be taxable as ordinary income to him, in an amount which is sufficient to satisfy the amount of the taxes incurred by Mr. Fromkin as a result of such reimbursement and payment.

The Fromkin Employment Agreement entitles Mr. Fromkin to the award of an option to purchase up to 2,427,133 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The option will be unvested as of the date of grant and will be eligible to vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on November 12, 2014 and in substantially equal monthly installments over the following three years.  The vesting of such option will accelerate as to (i) 25% of the underlying shares upon the Company’s consummation of a qualified initial public offering during the first year of Mr. Fromkin’s employment, (ii) 25% of the then unvested underlying shares if the Company files a New Drug Application with the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for its compound BA058 and the FDA accepts such application during Mr. Fromkin’s term of employment and (iii) 25% of the then unvested underlying shares if the Company obtains FDA approval for BA058 during Mr. Fromkin’s term of employment.  In addition, if there is a change of control of the Company during the term of his employment, then 50% of all then unvested shares subject to Mr. Fromkin’s option will become fully vested.  If such option is not assumed by the acquiring entity in a change of control, the option will vest in full or, in the Company’s discretion and if it will not result in adverse tax consequences, the unvested portion of such option may be converted into the right to receive cash at the time the option would have otherwise vested in an amount equal to the excess of the consideration per share paid in such change of control transaction over the exercise price per share of the option multiplied by the number of unvested shares subject to the option at the time of the change of control.

If Mr. Fromkin’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or due to Mr. Fromkin’s resignation for good reason, then, subject to his executing a general release of claims, Mr. Fromkin will be entitled to receive (i) base salary continuation payments for 12 months, (ii) payment of, or reimbursement for, continued group health plan premiums for 12 months, (iii) any unpaid annual bonus that the Board has determined to award him for performance in the prior calendar year, (iv) a pro-rated portion of his annual bonus for the year in which his termination occurs, based upon actual performance as determined by the Board or based on target bonus if the termination occurs before the applicable performance goals for the year of termination are established, and (v) accelerated vesting of 35% of any unvested shares subject to his stock option will accelerate and Mr. Fromkin will have up to nine months following the termination of his employment to exercise such option, provided that the 35% acceleration will be reduced by any accelerated vesting that has occurred during the same year as a result of the attainment of the aforementioned performance goals.  If Mr. Fromkin’s employment is terminated without cause or due to Mr. Fromkin’s resignation for good reason within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, then subject to his executing a general release of claims, Mr. Fromkin will be entitled to receive the severance benefits described in clauses (i) through (iii) (but, with respect to the benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, for a period of 18 months rather than 12 months), an amount equal to his target bonus and accelerated vesting of all shares subject to his stock option.

During his employment and for 12 months thereafter, Mr. Fromkin has agreed to be subject to restrictions limiting his competing with the Company, including by soliciting its customers or hiring or soliciting its employees.  Mr. Fromkin has also agreed not to disclose the Company’s confidential information and to assign certain inventions to the Company.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fromkin Employment Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.
