PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2014 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD JUNE 5, 2014
We have sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed Proxy Card because the Board of Directors (the Board) of MacroGenics, Inc. (referred to herein as the Company, MacroGenics, we, us or our) is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, June 5, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the Hilton Garden Inn Rockville-Gaithersburg, 14975 Shady Grove Road, Rockville, Maryland, 20850.
| This Proxy Statement summarizes information about the proposals to be considered at the Meeting and other information you may find useful in determining how to vote. |
| The Proxy Card is the means by which you actually authorize another person to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. |
In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail and personal interviews. We have retained outside consultants to solicit proxies on our behalf as well. All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names, and we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.
We are mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement and Proxy Card to our stockholders of record as of April 16, 2014 (the Record Date) for the first time on or about April 30, 2014. In this mailing, we are also including our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2013, which Form 10-K, together with the additional cover materials attached thereto, constitutes our 2013 Annual Report to Stockholders (2013 Annual Report). In addition, we have provided brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees, at our expense, with additional copies of our proxy materials and the 2013 Annual Report so that our record holders can supply these materials to the beneficial owners of shares of our common stock as of the Record Date. The Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K is also available in the Financial Information section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com.
The only voting securities of MacroGenics are shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the common stock), of which there were 27,619,894 shares outstanding as of the Record Date (excluding any treasury shares). We need the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, to hold the Annual Meeting.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROXY PROCESS AND VOTING
Why am I receiving these materials?
We have sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of MacroGenics, Inc. is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or follow the instructions below to submit your proxy over the telephone or on the Internet.
We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about April 30, 2014 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 16, 2014, or the Record Date, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 27,619,894 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with the transfer agent for our common stock, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed Proxy Card or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the Internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent
If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid Proxy Card from your broker or other agent.
What am I being asked to vote on?
You are being asked to vote on two (2) proposals:
| Proposal No. 1the election of two Class I directors to hold office until our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and |
| Proposal No. 2the ratification of the selection, by the audit committee of our Board, of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. |
In addition, you are entitled to vote on any other matters that are properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
2
How do I vote?
| For Proposal 1, you may either vote For all the nominees to the Board or you may Withhold your vote for any nominee you specify or abstain from voting. |
| For Proposal 2, you may either vote For or Against or abstain from voting. |
Please note that by casting your vote by proxy you are authorizing the individuals listed on the Proxy Card to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions and in their discretion with respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
The procedures for voting are as follows:
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Alternatively, you may vote by proxy by using the accompanying Proxy Card, over the Internet or by telephone. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you have submitted a proxy before the Annual Meeting, you may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. In such case, your previously submitted proxy will be disregarded.
| To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. |
| To vote using the Proxy Card, simply complete, sign and date the accompanying Proxy Card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed Proxy Card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. |
| To vote by proxy over the Internet, follow the instructions provided on the Proxy Card. |
| To vote by proxy by telephone call the toll free number found on the Proxy Card. |
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent
If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a voting instruction card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the voting instruction card to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.
We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares on-line, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.
Who counts the votes?
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (Computershare) has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes, or Inspector of Elections. If you are a stockholder of record, your executed Proxy Card is returned directly to Computershare for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares through a broker, your broker returns one Proxy Card to Computershare on behalf of all its clients.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count For and (with respect to Proposal 2) Against votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. In addition, with respect to the election of directors, the Inspector of Election will count the number of Withheld votes received

for the nominees. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in street name), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to routine items, but not with respect to non-routine items. See below for more information regarding: What are broker non-votes? and Which ballot measures are considered routine and non-routine?
What are broker non-votes?
Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed non-routine. Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be routine, but not with respect to non-routine matters. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.
Which ballot measures are considered routine or non-routine?
The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014 (Proposal 2) is considered routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2. The election of directors (Proposal 1) is considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on Proposal 1.
How many votes are needed to approve the proposal?
With respect to Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
With respect to Proposal No. 2, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will not be voted and will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the Record Date.
What if I return a Proxy Card but do not make specific choices?
If we receive a signed and dated Proxy Card and the Proxy Card does not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted For the election of each of the two nominees for director, and For the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your Proxy Card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.
4
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors, officers and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?
If you receive more than one set of materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. In order to vote all the shares you own, you must either sign and return all of the Proxy Cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the Proxy Cards.
Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?
Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:
| You may submit another properly completed proxy with a later date. |
| You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at 9640 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850. |
| You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. |
If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by them.
When are stockholder proposals due for next years Annual Meeting?
To be considered for inclusion in next years proxy materials, your proposal must be submitted in writing by December 31, 2014 to our Corporate Secretary at 9640 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850; provided that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days from June 5, 2015, the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for next years annual meeting. If you wish to submit a proposal that is not to be included in our proxy materials for next years annual meeting or to nominate a director pursuant to our current Bylaws, rather than the SECs stockholder proposal procedures, you must do so not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting; provided that if the date of that annual meeting is more than 20 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, you must give notice not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. You are also advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.
What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 27,619,894 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, 13,809,948 shares must be represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.
5
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy vote or vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, either the chairperson of the Annual Meeting or a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?
Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are unavailable at that time, we will file an amended Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the day the final results are available.
Implications of being an emerging growth company.
We are an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about the companys executive compensation arrangements and no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors, or our Board, is divided into three classes. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, and each class has a three-year term. Unless the Board determines that vacancies (including vacancies created by increases in the number of directors) shall be filled by the stockholders, and except as otherwise provided by law, vacancies on the Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors) shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until such directors successor is elected and qualified.
The Board currently consists of eight seated directors, divided into the three following classes:
| Class I directors: Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., Eran Nadav, Ph.D. and Arnold Oronsky, Ph.D., whose current terms will expire at the Annual Meeting; |
| Class II directors: Matthew Fust, Kenneth Galbraith and David Stump, M.D., whose current terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015; and |
| Class III directors: Paulo Costa and Edward Hurwitz, whose current terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016. |
At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third subsequent annual meeting of stockholders.
Dr. Koenig and Mr. Fust have been nominated to serve as Class I directors and each has agreed to stand for reelection. Dr. Nadav and Dr. Oronsky are not standing for reelection and will each retire from the Board as of the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 5, 2014. The remaining members of our Board have voted, effective upon the retirements of Dr. Nadav and Dr. Oronsky, to reduce the size of the Board to six. In order to ensure that each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, Mr. Fust, previously a Class II director, has been nominated to serve as a Class I director. Each director to be elected will hold office from the date of their election by the stockholders until the third subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and has been qualified, or until such directors earlier death, resignation or removal.
Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the two nominees named below. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Board may propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH NAMED NOMINEE.

Nominees for Election to a Three-Year Term Expiring at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D. has been our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director since September 2001 and was one of our co-founders. Prior to joining us, Dr. Koenig served as Senior Vice President of Research at MedImmune Inc., where he participated in the selection and maturation of their product pipeline. From 1984 to 1990, he worked in the Laboratory of Immunoregulation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, where he investigated the immune response to retroviruses and studied the pathogenesis of AIDS. Dr. Koenig currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation and of the Childrens Research Institute of Childrens National Medical Center, and serves as a Board member of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) and Childrens National Medical Center. Dr. Koenig received his A.B. and Ph.D. from Cornell University and his M.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. We believe that Dr. Koenigs detailed knowledge of our company and his over 29 years in research and the biotechnology industry provide a valuable contribution to our board of directors.
Matthew Fust joined our board of directors in March 2014. Mr. Fust most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that was acquired by Amgen, Inc., in 2013 and served in that position since January 2009. From May 2003 to December 2008, Mr. Fust served as Chief Financial Officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company. Mr. Fust serves on the Boards of Directors of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical and Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. Mr. Fust received a B.A. from the University of Minnesota and an M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The board of directors believes that Mr. Fusts significant experience in executive management and leadership roles in public and private life sciences and biopharmaceutical companies, and significant financial reporting expertise through his accounting education and professional experience qualify him to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Directors Continuing in Office Until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Kenneth Galbraith has served as a director since July 2008. Mr. Galbraith is a Managing Director at Five Corners Capital Inc., general partner and investment manager of the Ventures West venture capital funds. He has served in this capacity, and in a similar capacity with the predecessor manager and general partner of these funds, since 2007. Mr. Galbraith has over 25 years of experience acting as an executive, director, investor and advisor to companies in the biotechnology, medical device, pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Mr. Galbraith has served as a director of Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp., a publicly held company, since January 2010. In addition, Mr. Galbraith serves as a director of several privately-held companies. Based on Mr. Galbraiths depth of experience in the biotechnology industry, ranging from executive officer to director roles, the board of directors believes Mr. Galbraith has the appropriate set of skills to serve as a member of the board of directors.
David Stump, M.D. has served as a director since September 2013. Dr. Stump was most recently Executive Vice President, Research and Development at Human Genome Sciences, Inc. from November 1999 until his retirement in December 2012. Dr. Stump also serves as a director of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly held company, and as a director of Dendreon Corporation, also a publicly held company. The board of directors believes that Dr. Stumps medical training and 23 years of experience in research and development and operations in the biotechnology industry qualify him to serve as a member of our board of directors.
Directors Continuing in Office Until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Paulo Costa has served as a director since June 2009 and became Chairman of the Board in September 2013. Mr. Costa served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Novartis U.S. Corporation, a pharmaceutical and consumer health company, from October 2005 to August 2008. From August 2009 to August 2012, Mr. Costa served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc., a publicly held company, and currently serves as a director of two privately-held companies. Based on Mr. Costas diverse experience in the pharmaceutical industry, ranging from successful product development, launch and commercialization and his extensive senior management experience within the industry, the board of directors believes Mr. Costa has the appropriate set of skills to serve as a member of the board of directors.
Edward Hurwitz has served as a director since October 2004. Mr. Hurwitz is a Managing Director of Precision Bioventures, LLC, a consulting and advisory firm, and a director of the general partner of Alta BioPharma III, L.P., a fund affiliated with Alta Partners, a venture capital firm. He was a director at Alta Partners from 2002 through December 2013 and continues to serve as a consultant to that firm. Mr. Hurwitz also serves as a director of Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation, a publicly held company, and Cara Therapeutics, Inc., also a publicly held company. The board of directors has concluded that Mr. Hurwitz should serve on the board of directors due to his financial and scientific expertise, as well as his deep understanding of the biotechnology industry, which the board of directors believes makes him an important resource for the board of directors as it assesses both financial and strategic decisions.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The audit committee of our Board has engaged Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014, and is seeking ratification of such selection by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Ernst & Young LLP has audited our financial statements since the year ended December 31, 2005. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Neither our bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the audit committee is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Ernst & Young LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The following table provides information regarding the fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. All fees described below were approved by the audit committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The material in this report is not soliciting material, is not deemed filed with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing by MacroGenics under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The primary purpose of the audit committee is to oversee our financial reporting processes on behalf of our Board. The audit committees functions are more fully described in its charter, which is available on our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com. Management has the primary responsibility for our financial statements and reporting processes, including our systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed and discussed with management MacroGenics audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The audit committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by 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 (PCAOB) in Rule 3200T. In addition, the audit committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence, and received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 of the PCAOB. Finally, the audit committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, with and without management present, the scope and results of Ernst & Young LLPs audit of such financial statements.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee has recommended to our Board that such audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the SEC. The audit committee also has engaged Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and is seeking ratification of such selection by the stockholders.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The reference to our web address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website.
Independence of the Board of Directors
As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations, a majority of the members of a listed companys board of directors must qualify as independent, as affirmatively determined by the Board. The Board consults with the Companys counsel to ensure that the Boards determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of independent, including those set forth in pertinent NASDAQ listing standards, as in effect from time to time.
Consistent with these considerations, our Board has determined that all of our directors, other than Dr. Koenig, qualify as independent directors in accordance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. Dr. Koenig is not considered independent because he is an employee of MacroGenics. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each directors business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. All of the committees of our Board are comprised entirely of directors determined by the Board to be independent within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and regulations.
Leadership Structure of the Board
The Board of Directors does not have a policy regarding whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be a non-employee director. The Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. However, the Board believes that separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is currently the most appropriate structure for the Company because that structure is consistent with best corporate governance practices and may enhance the independence of the Board. Currently, Mr. Costa, a non-employee director, serves as the Chairman of the Board and Dr. Koenig serves as a director and Chief Executive Officer.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process
Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management
12
meetings, and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.
Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, our audit committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related-person transactions. Our nominating and governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee reviews and recommends policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees. The compensation committee reviews and recommends to our Board corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and recommends to our Board the compensation based on such evaluations. The compensation committee also reviews and approves the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Non-CEO Executive Officer compensation and evaluates the performance and determines and approves all compensation of the Non-CEO Executive Officers. The compensation committee also recommends to our Board the issuance of stock options and other awards under our stock plans. The compensation committee will review and evaluate, at least annually, its compliance with its charter. The current members of our compensation committee are Edward Hurwitz, Paulo Costa and Eran Nadav, Ph.D. Dr. Nadav is not standing for reelection and will retire from the Board as of the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Hurwitz was appointed as chairperson of the compensation committee in September 2013. None of the members of our compensation committee has at any time been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our Board or compensation committee. Each of the members of our compensation committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ, is a non-employee director as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and is an outside director as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Section 162(m). The compensation committee operates under a written charter. A copy of the compensation committee charter is available to security holders on the Companys website at http://ir.macrogenics.com.
In 2013, as part of our process leading up to our initial public offering, the compensation committee retained Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company, a national executive compensation consulting firm, to conduct market research and analysis to assist the committee in developing executive compensation levels, including appropriate salaries and target bonus percentages as well as equity awards for our executives, based on compensation practices of publicly-traded peer companies. After review and consultation with Radford, the compensation committee determined that Radford was independent and that there was no conflict of interest resulting from retaining Radford for such engagement. In reaching these conclusions, our compensation committee considered the factors set forth in the SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for making recommendations to our Board regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of our Board. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance policies and reporting and making recommendations to our Board concerning governance matters.

The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter. A copy of the nominating and corporate governance committee charter is available to security holders on the Companys website at http://ir.macrogenics.com.

In recommending candidates for election to the Board, the independent members of the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider the following criteria, among others: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience in the industries in which we compete; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members; conflicts of interest; and practical and mature business judgment. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.
The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders.

During 2013, each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since January 1, 2011, there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction where we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation agreements and other agreements and transactions which are described in Executive CompensationEmployment Arrangements.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to the written charter of our audit committee, our audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for reviewing and approving, prior to our entry into any such transaction, all related party transactions and potential conflict of interest situations involving a principal stockholder, a member of the board of directors or senior management. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our audit committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arms length transaction and the extent of the related persons interest in the transaction. In addition, our company policies require that our officers and employees avoid using their positions for purposes that are, or give the appearance of being, motivated by a desire for personal gain, and our policies further require that all officers and employees report any potential related party transaction prior to entering into such transaction. All such notices concerning related party transactions or conflicts of interest are submitted to, and reviewed by, our Chief Financial Officer and our audit committee.

In connection with, and effective as of, our initial public offering in 2013, we implemented a Director Compensation Program (the Director Plan) for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Director Plan, our non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $35,000. The Chairman receives an additional annual retainer of $25,000. In addition, all non-employee directors who serve on one or more committees are eligible to receive the following committee fees:

Other than the annual retainers and committee fees paid pursuant to our Director Plan described above, non-employee directors are not entitled to receive any cash fees in connection with their service on our Board. Non-employee directors are entitled to receive an option to purchase 13,849 shares of our common stock upon initial election or appointment to the Board (the Initial Option) and an option to purchase 6,924 shares of our common stock annually thereafter (the Annual Option). Options granted to non-employee directors have a per share exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The Initial Option will be granted on the date which such non-employee director commences services and will vest as to 33.33% of the shares of our common stock underlying such option annually, beginning on the first anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the directors continued service on the board through each vesting date. The Annual Option will be automatically granted on the date of the first Board meeting held after each annual meeting of stockholders and will vest as to 33.33% of the shares of our common stock underlying such option annually, beginning on the first anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the directors continued service on the board through each vesting date. Our directors who are employees are compensated for their service as employees and do not receive any additional compensation for their service on our Board. In connection with our initial public offering in 2013, each of our non-employee directors received an option to purchase 13,849 shares of our common stock granted on the date of effectiveness of our registration statement (October 9, 2013) at an exercise price per share of $16.00 per share, the price to the public of our common stock issued in our initial public offering, which vests in three equal annual installments from the grant date. No other option grants were made under our Director Plan during 2013.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Annual Salary
We review compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to our company. We do not target a specific competitive position or a specific mix of compensation among base salary, bonus or long-term incentives.
Our board of directors has historically determined our executives compensation. Our compensation committee typically reviews and discusses managements proposed compensation with the Chief Executive
21
Officer for all executives other than the Chief Executive Officer. Based on those discussions and its discretion, the compensation committee then recommends the compensation for each executive officer. Our board of directors, without members of management present, discusses the compensation committees recommendations and ultimately approves the compensation of our executive officers.
Effective upon the closing of our IPO, our board of directors approved salary increases for each of Dr. Koenig and Mr. Karrels.
Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation
Our bonus plan motivates and rewards our executives for achievements relative to our goals and expectations for each fiscal year. Each named executive officer has a target bonus opportunity, defined as a percentage of his or her annual salary. Following the end of each year, our board of directors determines bonuses. Material considerations in determining bonuses include achievement of an executives corporate objectives for the year; the executives handling of unplanned events and opportunities; and the Chief Executive Officers input with respect to the performance of the company, our executives and our financial performance relative to our plan. Based on these factors and in the sole discretion of our board of directors, we approved the bonuses in the table above for our named executive officers in December 2013 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Specific achievements and performance considered by our board of directors in determining bonuses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included:
| Advancing development of margetuximab, including Phase 1 data presentation at ASCO and initiation of activities related to the planned Phase 3 gastroesophageal cancer study; |
| Advancing development of MGA271, including completion of enrollment of the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1 clinical trial and initiation of the dose expansion portion of the study, which triggered a $10 million milestone by our collaboration partner, Servier; |
| Advancing our existing DART collaborations with Boehringer, Gilead and Pfizer; |
| Finalizing IND preparation activities for MGD006; |
| Initiating GLP toxicology studies for MGD007; |
| Completing IND-enabling pre-clinical activities for MGD010; |
| Accessing public markets through an initial public offering; and |
| Maintaining a minimum cash balance throughout the year and ending the year with more than $35 million in cash and cash equivalents. |
Upon completion of our IPO we implemented a new nonequity incentive plan that will provide guidelines for target bonus amounts, performance goals and determination of the amounts of nonequity incentive compensation ultimately awarded in the discretion of the compensation committee of our board of directors.
Long-Term Incentives
Our previous 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or 2000 Plan, and 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2003 Plan, and our current 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2013 Plan, each authorized us to make grants to eligible recipients of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock awards, and other forms of award, such as stock appreciation rights. Although each of the 2000 Plan, 2003 Plan and 2013 Plan provided for a range of types of awards, our equity grants to our executive officers under those plans have historically only been in the form of stock options.
22
We typically grant equity incentive awards at the start of employment to each executive and our other employees. Through 2013, we have not maintained a practice of granting additional equity on an annual basis, but we have retained discretion to provide additional targeted grants in certain circumstances.
We award our equity grants on the date our board of directors approves the grant. We set the option exercise price and grant date fair value based on our per-share valuation on the date of grant. For grants in connection with initial employment, vesting begins on the initial date of employment. Time vested stock option grants to our executives typically vest 12.5% six months after the date of grant with the remainder vesting in 14 equal quarterly installments.
As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase 3,200,958 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price per share of $4.90 were outstanding. As of December 31, 2013, 1,402,459 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan.
Other Compensation
We paid Dr. Wigginton a $237,464 new hire bonus upon his joining the company on August 16, 2013. Other amounts shown in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table relate to 401(k) matching contributions made to Dr. Koenigs and Mr. Karrels 401(k) accounts, consistent with the matching contributions offered to all of our employees.
Employment Arrangements

In September 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Koenig. Dr. Koenig is employed at-will, which means that he has no definitive term of employment.
Dr. Koenigs employment agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that will prohibit him from competing with us, soliciting our customers or employees, or hiring our employees for a period of two years following the end of his employment with us for any reason.
Dr. Koenig is eligible to receive severance benefits in specified circumstances, as set forth in the employment agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, upon execution and delivery of an irrevocable release of claims against the Company and subject to his continued compliance with the non-competition and son-solicitation provisions, Dr. Koenig will be entitled to severance benefits if we terminate his employment without cause or if he terminates employment with us for good reason within 12 months following a change in control.

No resignation will be treated as good reason unless (a) Dr. Koenig has given written notice of such event to the us within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence, (b) we have failed to cure the condition constituting good reason within 30 days following the delivery of the notice, and (c) Dr. Koenig terminates employment within thirty (30) days after expiration of such cure period. |
| Change of Control means: (a) any person (excluding our employee benefit plans) is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities; (b) we consummate a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division or other reorganization or transaction with any other corporation unless our outstanding securities continue to represent at least 50% of the combined voting power immediately after the transaction; or (c) liquidation or winding-up of our company or the consummation of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; or (d) during any period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted our board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment, election or nomination was previously so approved or recommended) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors. |

Mr. Karrels
In October 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Karrels. Mr. Karrels is employed at-will, which means that he has no definitive term of employment.
Mr. Karrels employment agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that will prohibit him from competing with us, soliciting our customers or employees, or hiring our employees for a period of 18 months following the end of his employment with us for any reason.

Risk Analysis of Our Compensation Plans
Our management assesses and discusses with our compensation committee our compensation policies and practices for our employees as they relate to our risk management and, based upon this assessment, we believe that any risks arising from such policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us in the future.
Our employees base salaries are fixed in amount and thus we do not believe that they encourage excessive risk-taking. Our compensation policies and programs are designed to encourage our employees to remain focused
25
on both the short- and long-term goals of us. For example, while our cash bonus plans are intended to measure performance on an annual basis, our equity awards typically vest over a number of years, which we believe encourages our employees to focus on sustained stockholder appreciation and limits the potential value of excessive risk-taking. The committee believes that the mix of long-term equity incentive, short-term cash incentive bonus and base salary appropriately balances both the short-and long-term performance goals of us without encouraging excessive risk-related behavior. While the compensation committee regularly evaluates its compensation programs, the committee believes that its current balance of incentives both adequately compensates its employees and does not promote excessive risk taking.
