At the Special Meeting, the Company&#8217;s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#8220;2002 Plan&#8221;). The amended and restated 2002 Plan is referred to herein as the &#8220;Restated Plan.&#8221; The Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 7,413,754 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock (the &#8220;Share Reserve&#8221;), 6,299,254 of which were previously reserved for issuance under the 2002 Plan.  Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Plan, the Share Reserve shall be reduced by (a) one share for each share subject to any stock option or stock appreciation right, and (b) 1.5 shares for each share subject to any outstanding award that is a Full Value Award (as defined in the Restated Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to incentive stock option awards under the Restated Plan may not exceed an aggregate of 7,413,754 shares.

In addition, the following annual limitations apply: (i) no one person participating in the Restated Plan may receive awards for more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate per calendar year; and (ii) the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value of awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $550,000, increased to $850,000 in the calendar year of his or her initial service as a non-employee director.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">&#8226;</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:115%;padding-left:14.5pt">Other Provisions</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">.
