Award Timing MNPI Disclosure | Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information From time to time, the Company grants stock options and RSUs to its employees, including the named executive officers. Historically, the Company has granted new hire option awards on or soon after a new hire’s employment start date and annual refresh employee equity awards typically in the first quarter of each fiscal year, which the dollar amount of the refresh grants are typically approved at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee occurring in such quarter. The Company’s practice is to grant annual employee equity awards on the 18th trading day following the filling of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year. Also, non-employee directors receive automatic grants of initial and annual equity awards, both in the form of stock options and RSUs, at the time of a director’s initial appointment or election to the board and upon each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, respectively, pursuant to the current Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as further described under the heading, “Director Compensation—Equity Compensation.” The Company does not otherwise maintain any written policies on the timing of awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar instruments with option-like features. Because the Compensation Committee has a practice of generally granting stock options on the 18th trading day following the filling of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year, the Compensation Committee generally does not take material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) into account when determining the timing of awards and it does not seek to time the award of stock options or RSUs in relation to the Company’s public disclosure of MNPI. The Company has not timed the release of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. |  |
