the broader context of the Board&#146;s overall composition, with the goal of recruiting members who complement and strengthen the skills of other members and who also exhibit integrity, collegiality, sound business judgment and other qualities that

as a compensation consultant since August 2010, as described in greater detail under the &#147;Compensation Discussion and Analysis&#148; section of this Proxy Statement. In March 2015, the Compensation Committee analyzed whether the work of Radford
Consulting as a compensation consultant raised any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the following factors: (i)&nbsp;the provision of other services to our company by Radford Consulting; (ii)&nbsp;the amount of fees from our company
paid to Radford Consulting as a percentage of the firm&#146;s total revenue; (iii)&nbsp;Radford Consulting&#146;s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv)&nbsp;any business or personal relationship of Radford

refer to the 2008 Plan, as amended and restated by the Board in April 2015, as the &#147;Restated 2008 Plan&#148; throughout this proxy statement. Our Board adopted the Restated 2008 Plan to help ensure that we have sufficient shares available under

to support our ongoing submissions for regulatory approval in Brazil, Canada, China and other foreign jurisdictions and to attract and retain qualified employees to support us with a potential commercial launch in such jurisdictions if we obtain
such regulatory approval. Our Compensation Committee believes that the Restated 2008 Plan will enable us to continue to grant stock options and other stock awards under the 2008 Plan at levels determined appropriate by our Board and Compensation
Committee. Except for the increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance (and the corresponding increase in the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the grant of incentive stock option) and the change to its fungible share

Restated 2008 Plan by our stockholders will also constitute reapproval of the terms and conditions that will permit us to grant stock options and performance awards under the Restated 2008 Plan that may qualify as &#147;performance-based
compensation&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation and its affiliates for certain compensation paid to &#147;covered employees&#148; in a
taxable year to the extent that compensation to a covered employee exceeds $1 million. However, some kinds of compensation, including qualified &#147;performance-based compensation,&#148; are not subject to this deduction limitation. We believe it
is in the best interests of Cerus and our stockholders to preserve our ability to grant &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. For the grant of awards under a plan to qualify as &#147;performance-based
compensation&#148; under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, among other things, the plan must (i)&nbsp;describe the employees eligible to receive such awards, (ii)&nbsp;provide a per-person limit on the number of shares subject to stock options and
performance stock awards, and the amount of cash that may be subject to performance cash awards, granted to any employee under the plan in any year, and (iii)&nbsp;include one or more pre-established business criteria upon which the performance
goals for performance awards may be granted (or become vested or exercisable). These terms must be approved by the stockholders and, accordingly, our stockholders are requested to approve the Restated 2008 Plan, which

thereafter on the first trading day of the year. The number of shares subject to the director&#146;s first annual award is pro-rated based on the number of days he or she served in his or her first year of service. The initial stock option grant
vests over four years and the annual stock option grant vests over 12 months, in each case subject to continued service. The terms of these initial and annual grants are described in more detail under &#147;Director Compensation&#148; below.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP. In April 2015, the Board adopted an amendment and restatement of the ESPP, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP by 1,500,000 shares, to a
total of 2,820,500 shares. This amendment and restatement of the ESPP is intended to afford us greater flexibility in providing employees with stock incentives and ensures that we can continue to provide such incentives at levels determined
appropriate by the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of March&nbsp;31, 2015, an aggregate of 1,036,370 shares of common stock had been previously
issued under the ESPP, and only 284,130 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the ESPP. The closing price of our common stock as reported on NASDAQ as of April&nbsp;15, 2015 was $4.30 per share. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We refer to the ESPP, as amended and restated by the Board in April 2015, as the &#147;Restated ESPP&#148; throughout this proxy
statement. Stockholders are requested in this Proposal No.&nbsp;3 to approve the Restated ESPP. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the annual meeting will be required to approve the Restated
ESPP. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes cast and will therefore not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on this Proposal No.&nbsp;3. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The board of directors believes that the approval of the Restated ESPP is necessary to enable Cerus to grant purchase rights to its

Restated ESPP are the same as those in the ESPP previously approved by the stockholders. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Restated ESPP. Stockholders are urged to read the actual text of the Restated
ESPP in its entirety, which is appended to this proxy statement as Appendix B. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Purpose </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purpose of the Restated ESPP is to provide a means by which our employees (and any parent or subsidiary of ours designated by the
Board to participate in the Restated ESPP) may be given an opportunity to purchase our common stock through payroll deductions, to assist us in retaining the services of our employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees, and to
provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success. As of March&nbsp;31, 2015, approximately 113 of our 150 employees were eligible to participate in the ESPP. </FONT></P>

itself the administration of the Restated ESPP. The Board has delegated administration of the Restated ESPP to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the power to construe and interpret the Restated ESPP and the rights granted
under it. The Compensation Committee has the power, subject to the provisions of the Restated ESPP, to determine when and how rights to purchase our common stock will be granted, the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be
identical), and whether any parent or subsidiary of ours shall be eligible to participate in the Restated ESPP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Offerings </B></FONT></P>

Compensation Committee provided that in no event may an offering have a duration that exceeds 27 months. Each offering may consist of one or more purchase periods with purchase dates as determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the
commencement of that offering. The current offerings are twelve months in duration with a new offering commencing every six months. Offerings run either from the first business day in March each year to the last business day in February in the
immediately succeeding year or from the first business day in September each year to the last business day in August in the immediately succeeding year. Offerings have two purchase periods that are six months in duration. Accordingly, under the
current offerings, shares of common stock are purchased on the last business day in February and August each year with the payroll deductions collected from the participants for the offering period ending with each such semi-annual purchase date.

ours (including any stock which such employee may purchase under all outstanding rights and options), nor will any employee be granted rights that would permit him to buy more than $25,000 worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the

maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to such offering by all participants. If the aggregate number of shares to be purchased upon exercise of rights granted in the offering would exceed the maximum aggregate number, the
Compensation Committee would make a pro rata allocation of shares available in a uniform and equitable manner. Unless the employee&#146;s participation is discontinued, his or her right to purchase shares is exercised automatically at the end of the

exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdictions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>General.</I> The
Restated ESPP is intended to qualify as an &#147;employee stock purchase plan&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;423 of the Code, so that purchase rights exercised under the Restated ESPP may qualify as qualified purchases under
Section&nbsp;423 of the Code. Under such an arrangement, no taxable income will be recognized by a participant, and no deductions will be allowable to us, upon either the grant or the exercise of the purchase rights. Taxable income will not be
recognized until there is a sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock acquired under the Restated ESPP or in the event the participant should die while still owning the purchased shares of common stock. </FONT></P>

the offering period over the exercise price (determined as of the beginning of the offering period) will be treated as ordinary income. Any further gain or any loss will be taxed as a long-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains currently
are generally subject to lower tax rates than ordinary income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the stock is sold or disposed of before the expiration of
either of the holding periods described above, then the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the exercise price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such disposition. The balance of any gain will be
treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon the length of the period that the shares were held prior to sale. Even if the stock is later disposed of for less than its fair market value on the exercise date, the same amount of
ordinary income is attributed to the participant, and a capital loss is recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the stock on such exercise date. </FONT></P>

the compensation packages provided to similarly situated executives at the companies we consider to be our peers. Performance-based cash compensation awards under our Bonus Plan are made based on the achievement of corporate performance and
strategic goals designed to create incentives that we believe enhance executive performance, and may be adjusted to reflect the executive officer&#146;s individual performance in executing his or her day-to-day tasks, as well as his or her
contribution toward achieving our corporate performance and strategic goals. The corporate performance and strategic goals vary year-to-year, but generally include value-adding achievements such as revenue, gross margin and year end cash targets,
operating expense management and timely completion of clinical, regulatory, sales, manufacturing and other operational and strategic undertakings. The corporate performance and strategic goals and other material provisions for each of our Bonus Plan

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The components used to support our compensation objectives stated above are base salary, cash incentive awards under our Bonus Plan,
equity awards and certain other benefits (discussed in greater detail below under &#147;Executive Compensation Components and Decisions&#148;). We use a combination of these pay elements to provide a competitive total compensation package to our
executives. We do not specify a target percentage of the overall compensation to be represented by the various compensation elements. However, the Compensation Committee&#146;s intention is that performance-based cash incentive compensation and
long-term equity compensation are a significant part of the executive&#146;s total compensation package, which historically has been true. As a result, approximately 50% or more of our NEOs total potential compensation has been &#147;at risk&#148;
in any given fiscal year, including for 2014. Our Compensation Committee believes that having a significant portion of our executives&#146; compensation package be &#147;at risk&#148; has contributed to cultivating a culture in which our NEOs
aggressively pursue our corporate performance and strategic goals as they know that their take home pay, to a large extent, depends upon our corporate performance and, to some extent, their contribution to that performance. At the same time, a
significant portion of the &#147;at risk&#148; compensation is in the form of long-term equity incentives, which is designed to mitigate any risk that our executives will pursue short-term outcomes at the expense of long-term stockholder value.
Employees in more senior roles have an increasing proportion of their potential compensation &#147;at risk&#148; and tied to performance because they are in a position to have greater influence on achieving our performance results. For example,
37.7% of our Chief Executive Officer&#146;s total potential 2014 cash compensation was &#147;at risk,&#148; and 74.1% of his total potential 2014 compensation was &#147;at risk.&#148; For purposes of calculating the total potential 2014 compensation
&#147;at risk,&#148; the Black-Scholes value on the applicable grant date was used for the options granted to our Chief Executive Officer as long-term equity incentive compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

proposed corporate performance and strategic goals and their relative weighting for the upcoming fiscal year, as well as provides input on the level of attainment of the prior year&#146;s strategic goals, for purposes of determining awards under the
Bonus Plan for all of our NEOs, including the Chief Executive Officer, as further described below. The Chief Executive Officer regularly provides input to the Compensation Committee during the course of the year regarding the performance and
compensation of our other NEOs. The Chief Executive Officer is also delegated authority by the Compensation Committee to approve annual cash incentive bonuses to our non-executive officers in his discretion out of an aggregate annual cash bonus pool
within limits previously approved by the Compensation Committee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to long-term equity compensation, the
Compensation Committee has also delegated authority to our Chief Executive Officer, as the sole member of a Non-Officer Stock Option Committee, or NOSOC, to grant stock options to our non-officer employees within certain guidelines previously
approved, without any further action required, by the Compensation Committee. The purpose of this delegation of authority is to enhance the flexibility of option administration and to facilitate the timely grant of options to non-officer employees,
including newly hired employees, within specified limits previously approved by the Compensation Committee. As part of its oversight function, the Compensation Committee reviews, on at least an annual basis, the option grants made by the NOSOC.

in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Administration. From time to time, various members of our management and other employees, as well as outside advisors or consultants, may be invited by the Compensation
Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice, or otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all
of our books, records, facilities and personnel, as well as the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain (or obtain the advice of) any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to assist it in the performance of its duties, all at
our expense. As part of its deliberations, the Compensation Committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, and tax and accounting information. Prior to each meeting where
compensation decisions are to be made with respect to our NEOs, the Vice President, Administration provides the Compensation Committee with tally sheets that set forth our NEOs historical base salary and bonus information covering the past ten
years, or any shorter period of actual employment, as well as the executives&#146;: (1)&nbsp;equity grant history; (2)&nbsp;vested and unvested potential gain on equity awards using projected stock prices at various points in time in the future; and
(3)&nbsp;stock option exercise history, in each case during such ten year period, or any shorter period of actual employment. The tally sheets were reviewed as a touchstone or guide solely for the purposes of a subjective evaluation as to whether
2014 compensation levels were appropriate in light of the compensation levels in effect for prior years and whether the executive&#146;s compensation was generally reflective of his or her increased level of experience and responsibilities. In
determining 2014 compensation for our executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of our other NEOs as stated above under the heading &#147;<I>Role of

allocation of base salary, short-term performance-based cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation, and the applicable target award levels as a percentage of base salary related to the short-term performance-based cash
incentive compensation. Historically, the Compensation Committee has made its most significant adjustments to annual base compensation, determined cash and equity awards and established new performance objectives at one or more meetings held during
the first and fourth quarters of the year. Generally, adjustments to the base salary of our executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee in February of each year, with the adjustments becoming effective March&nbsp;1</FONT><FONT

cash awards are generally made in the first quarter of the year following the year in which services are performed. For the 2014 annual short-term performance-based cash award for our Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee elected to
defer determination of the amount of the award until completion of the audit of the Company&#146;s 2014 financial results and the filing of the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In prior years, long-term equity incentive compensation was
determined in either September (2011 and 2010) or October (2009 and prior years). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Beginning in 2012, we began awarding annual
option grants in the first quarter of each year concurrent with the determination of cash compensation. This change in the timing of our annual option grants was made so the Committee could review concurrently all components of executive
compensation (base salary, Bonus Plan targets and corporate performance and strategic goal attainment levels, and long-term equity incentive awards) and make compensation determinations based upon the totality of the annual compensation package for
the executive. Our general policy is to grant stock options and other equity awards on fixed dates determined in advance, although there are occasions when grants are made on other dates. All required approvals are obtained in advance of or on the
actual grant date. Other than stock option grants to new hires, stock option grants to executive officers are generally approved once a year (typically in the first quarter of the year) unless an executive officer is promoted, in which case a grant
will normally be made at the time of such promotion, or, in rare circumstances, for recognition of outstanding performance. With respect to annual stock option grants to our continuing executive officers, these grants are typically approved early in

elements: the determination of target award levels and the establishment of corporate performance and strategic goals for the current year. Per the terms of his employment agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s target level for his short-term
performance-based cash incentive compensation is set at 60% of his base salary. For the remaining NEOs, the applicable target level of base salary for the short-term incentive cash compensation award is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer,
taking into consideration feedback from our external compensation consultant. The Chief Executive Officer&#146;s recommendations are reviewed by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee either approves the bonus target levels as
recommended or may modify the target levels of Bonus Plan awards after considering the peer group benchmarking data provided by Radford, with the goal of having annual Bonus Plan compensation, assuming the target bonus level is awarded, that is
approximately the 50</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> percentile of that provided by our

Chief Executive Officer and then reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and the full Board. After the corporate performance and strategic goals are approved, our Chief Executive Officer meets with each of our executive officers to set
their individual personal goals for the upcoming year based on the input from, and discussion with, our Compensation Committee. Each of our NEO&#146;s short-term incentive cash compensation package is directly tied to our corporate performance, with

corporate performance and strategic goals and their individual contributions to achieving those goals, which is then discussed with each of our executive officers during their annual review. Shortly after the end of each year, the Compensation
Committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer to discuss and evaluate each of the corporate performance and strategic goals for the preceding year, whether such goals were attained and, if so, at what level. The Compensation Committee considers
the recommendations provided by our Chief Executive Officer as to the determined level of attainment of our strategic goals for the preceding year, and considers whether to adopt the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s recommendation or whether any
adjustment should be made, before approving the attainment level. The Compensation Committee then reviews with our Chief Executive Officer the individual performance of each of our NEOs, other than our Chief Executive Officer, and whether any
adjustments to their short-term incentive cash compensation awards under the Bonus Plan should be made. The Compensation Committee then meets in executive session without the presence of our Chief Executive Officer to review and evaluate our Chief
Executive Officer&#146;s performance for the preceding year and what, if any, adjustments should be made to his short-term incentive cash compensation award under the Bonus Plan. </FONT></P>

market trends, to verify that the peer group data for NEO compensation is consistent with overall compensation trends, and to set compensation levels for our non-executive employees. As previously discussed, the Compensation Committee regularly
meets in executive session to discuss executive compensation issues. Radford Consulting may be asked to participate in, and has in the past attended, meetings of the Compensation Committee. Radford Consulting reports directly to the Compensation
Committee rather than to management, although they have in the past met with management for purposes of gathering information for their analyses and recommendations and may continue to do so in the future. In November 2013, the Compensation
Committee engaged Radford Consulting to update its analysis in connection with the 2014 executive compensation determinations. Annual fees paid to Radford Consulting for their services as advisor to the Compensation Committee were approximately
$39,970, which was less than 1% of their total revenues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Compensation Benchmarking </I></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee regularly considers the appropriate pay scales for our NEOs and, as part of that process, utilizes a process
called benchmarking in order to ensure that total compensation is competitive with salaries paid within the industry and is appropriate given the executive&#146;s level of responsibilities. However, the Compensation Committee recognizes that
benchmarking is an imperfect tool for establishing competitive compensation packages as the job responsibilities of persons with similar titles may vary significantly from company to company, and that a person&#146;s title is not necessarily
descriptive of a person&#146;s duties. Therefore, the Compensation Committee considers the scope and complexity of the executive positions against which we benchmark and compares these positions to the scope and complexity of our executive
positions. The result is an assessment of the compensation being paid to our executives in light of the compensation being paid to persons performing duties of similar scope and complexity at the companies against which we are benchmarking. The
Compensation Committee uses this assessment to assist it in making decisions regarding appropriate compensation levels for our executive positions. The underlying principle of the evaluation methodology is to focus on identifying those positions
that have a scope and complexity of responsibilities that are comparable to those duties exercised by each of our particular executives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

percentile to reflect the executive&#146;s level of experience, past performance, and actual responsibilities. Each year, we generally tend to make modest increases in base salary for executive officers, except where an individual&#146;s base salary
is found to be significantly below market when compared to the selected peer group, in which case a larger increase may be warranted. The Compensation Committee reviews base salary annually, and considers adjusting base salaries to reflect annual
base salary increase trend data provided by the compensation consultants. These guidelines are used throughout our company in determining appropriate base salary increases for all of our employees. In February 2014, our Compensation Committee
approved 2014 base salaries, as well as 2014 bonus targets and stock option grant awards, for our executive officers. Salary increases were effective as of March&nbsp;1, 2014 and took into account base salary increase trend data provided by Radford

executives&#146; relative level of experience and responsibilities in setting 2014 base salaries. For example, for 2014, Mr.&nbsp;Greenman received a 5.0% base salary increase in order to bring his base salary closer to that of chief executive
officers at our peer companies, which resulted in his 2014 base salary being slightly below the 50</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT

provides opportunity for future, equally meaningful base salary increases as Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s experience in the role continues to increase. Similarly, Mr.&nbsp;Green received a 12.0% increase to his base salary, which resulted in his 2014
base salary being set at below the 25</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> percentile of

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is the Compensation Committee&#146;s objective to have a substantial portion of each NEO&#146;s cash incentive compensation contingent upon our performance, while retaining the discretion to modify
awards to reflect the NEO&#146;s individual level of performance and contribution towards our corporate performance. This allows our executive officers to receive performance-based cash compensation in the event certain specified corporate
performance and strategic goals are achieved, while recognizing the individual contributions toward those goals. We provide short-term performance-based incentive compensation to our NEOs under the Bonus Plan. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Payouts under the Bonus Plan are generally made based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance and strategic goals that are
specified at the beginning of the performance period. However, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to take into account significant corporate events and other significant accomplishments that were not contemplated at the beginning of the
performance period in determining the extent to which the strategic goals were satisfied. Likewise, the Compensation Committee also has the discretion to modify or otherwise change the corporate performance and strategic goals during the applicable
calendar year to take into account circumstances then existing. In determining the actual cash bonuses, the Compensation Committee may also exercise its negative discretion to revise the cash bonuses that would otherwise have been paid under the
Bonus Plan based on our level of attainment of our corporate and strategic goals to reflect subsequent developments. For 2014, proposed corporate performance and strategic goals were submitted to the Compensation Committee in writing by the Chief
Executive Officer for approval by the Compensation Committee and the entire Board in the first quarter of the year. At the time of such approval, the Compensation Committee assigned a percentage value that reflected the significance of the corporate
performance and strategic components relative to one another. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:0px; "><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The value assigned to each goal was used
in the determination of actual bonus payouts with respect to 2014 performance. The Compensation Committee also established, as applicable, threshold, target and stretch metrics for the corporate performance goal components, as explained below. At
the beginning of 2014, the Compensation Committee, with input from the Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own target bonus percentage), also determined the target bonus percentages for each executive officer and provided each
executive officer with his or her target bonus percentage in writing. For the 2014 plan year, the Compensation Committee assigned a target bonus percentage of 60% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, which was at the 50</FONT><FONT

consideration of internal pay equity among the executive officers (other than Mr.&nbsp;Greenman) as well as the fact that the functional groups they oversee, sales and regulatory/clinical, respectively, have a significant impact and contribution to
the achievement of our corporate performance goals. For the latter reason, each of their actual individual payouts under the Bonus Plan may, in the Compensation Committee&#146;s discretion, be disproportionally impacted by the achievement, or
failure to achieve, those corporate performance goals. See the discussion below under &#147;<I>Calculation of 2014 Bonus Plan Awards</I>&#148; for a discussion of the impact of 2014 corporate performance goal achievement on payouts under the Bonus
Plan. The target bonus opportunity represents the annual cash bonus the executive would be eligible to receive under the Bonus Plan if all of the company&#146;s goals were 100% achieved. The 2014 goals and weighting system for the Bonus Plan are
described below. The Compensation Committee selected these goals because it believed that they were the best indicators of the achievement of the execution of our operating plan and were the factors that were the most critical to increasing the
value of our common stock. These goals, therefore, were believed to best align the financial interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based on the above results, the Compensation Committee applied the 77.5% performance score
to the target bonus levels of each of the executives other than the Chief Executive Officer to determine the aggregate size of the total bonus pool available for all such executives. Consistent with the terms of the Bonus Plan, this bonus pool was
then allocated by the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the other eligible executives and submitted to the Compensation Committee for approval. However, the approval of the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s bonus was determined separately and
solely by the Compensation Committee, and the Chief Executive Officer had no involvement in making such determination. The Compensation Committee determined that Dr.&nbsp;Corash should receive an allocation of 82.5% of his bonus targets and
Ms.&nbsp;Moore should receive an allocation of 87.5% of her bonus target, reflecting an allocation of the additional 5% for their efforts toward the U.S. regulatory and commercial launch readiness activities, as well as an additional 10% allocation
for Ms.&nbsp;Moore&#146;s extraordinary efforts in attaining one of the two corporate goals achieved at the stretch level and an additional 5% for Dr.&nbsp;Corash for his extraordinary efforts in drafting the clinical sections of the regulatory
submissions. Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom received an allocation of 47.5% of his target bonus amount, reflecting the impact of failure to achieve the 2014 revenue goal. He was not eligible for the additional 5% allocated for the U.S. regulatory and commercial
launch readiness activities. Mr.&nbsp;Green, who serves as our principal financial and accounting officer, received an allocation of 43.7% of his target bonus amount as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial

into his bonus amount given the Compensation Committee&#146;s determination that his bonus should be significantly reduced as a result of these material weaknesses. Mr.&nbsp;Greenman received an allocation of 77.5% of his target bonus amount,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to salary and short-term incentive compensation, we provide our executive officers with long-term performance incentives,
typically in the form of stock options. Stock options are intended to foster the long-term perspective we believe is necessary for our continued success by creating a strong, direct link between our NEOs&#146; compensation and our stock price
appreciation. Because the executive must pay a cash exercise price equal to the value of the stock on the date the option is granted, the executive will only receive value from the award if the value of our stock increases following the option grant
date. The Compensation Committee also awards stock options because it believes that if our officers own shares of our common stock with value that is significant to them, but which value cannot be immediately realized, they will have an incentive to
act to maximize longer-term stockholder value instead of short-term gain. Our stock option awards are granted subject to vesting restrictions, so they are earned over a period of years during the executive&#146;s continued service with us following
the option grant date. The Compensation Committee also believes that equity compensation is an integral component of our efforts to attract and retain exceptional executives, senior management and other employees. </FONT></P>

change of control related severance benefits, please see the section below entitled &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.&#148; The Compensation Committee has also
separately approved change of control related equity vesting acceleration benefits upon termination for Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom, consistent with the double trigger equity vesting acceleration benefits provided to our other NEOs in their employment
agreements and/or the Severance Plan. This arrangement was formalized in a written agreement in March 2014. The Compensation Committee believes that these change of control related severance benefits are an important element of our executive
compensation and retention program, which has particular importance in the context of a change of control. Change of control benefits under Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s employment agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s change in control agreement, and the
Severance Plan, including stock award vesting acceleration, are structured on a &#147;double-trigger&#148; basis, meaning that the executive officer must experience a constructive termination or a termination without cause in connection with the
change of control in order for the change of control benefits to become due. The Compensation Committee believes that the events triggering payment, comprising both a change of control and an involuntary termination, and then only when there is no
misconduct by the officer, are appropriate hurdles for the ensuing rewards. It is the Compensation Committee&#146;s belief that providing change of control benefits should eliminate, or at least reduce, the reluctance of our executive officers to
diligently consider and pursue potential change of control transactions that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. </FONT></P>

non-change of control related severance benefits in the event of an involuntary termination without cause or a constructive termination, including continued payment of salary and healthcare benefits and full acceleration of stock options, in
exchange for a general release of claims. Our Board and Compensation Committee believe that the non-change of control related severance benefits provided to our NEOs are an important element of their retention and motivation and are consistent with
compensation arrangements provided in a competitive market for executive talent. It is further believed that the benefits of such severance arrangements, including generally requiring a release of claims against us as a condition to receiving the
severance benefits, are in the best interests of the company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Other Benefits </I></FONT></P>

the level of risk that they do encourage is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. The design of our compensation policies and programs encourage our employees to remain focused on both the short- and long-term goals
of the company. For example, while our Bonus Plan measures 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 stock price appreciation, thus
limiting the potential value of excessive risk-taking. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Compensation Recovery Policy </I></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We do not have a policy to attempt to recover cash bonus payments paid to our executive officers if the performance objectives that led to
the determination of such payments were to be restated, or found not to have been met to the extent the Compensation Committee originally believed. However, as a public company subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, if we are required as a result of misconduct to restate our financial results due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer may be legally required to reimburse us for any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation they receive. In addition, we will comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and
will adopt a compensation recovery policy once the SEC adopts final regulations on the subject. Notwithstanding the fact that we do not have a policy to recover cash bonuses, our Compensation Committee carefully monitors the Company&#146;s financial
results and retains the discretion to revise the cash bonuses that would otherwise have been paid under the Bonus Plan based on our level of attainment of our corporate and strategic goals to reflect subsequent developments. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We account for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the Compensation&#151;Stock Compensation topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification. In accordance with the topic, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense over
the period during which it is earned. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code limits our deduction for federal income tax purposes to
no more than $1.0 million of compensation paid to certain executive officers in a taxable year. Compensation above $1.0 million may be deducted if it is &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; within the meaning of the Code. Although we have not
previously paid any executive officer in a taxable year, compensation that is subject to the deduction limit in excess of $1.0 million, such compensation in future years may exceed such deduction limits. While the Compensation Committee is mindful
of the potential benefit to our performance of full deductibility of compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that it should not be constrained by the requirements of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code where those requirements would impair
flexibility in compensating our executive officers in a manner that can best promote our corporate objectives. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that requires that all compensation be deductible and approval of
compensation, including the grant of stock options or other &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; to our executive officers, by the Compensation Committee is not a guarantee of deductibility under the Code. We and the Compensation Committee
intend to continue to evaluate the effects of the compensation limits of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code and to grant compensation awards in the future in a manner consistent with the best interests of the company and our stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Employment Agreements</B>. Each of our named executive officers has entered into written employment agreements with us. For a
description of these employment agreements, please see the section of this proxy statement under the heading &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements&#148; below. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Annual Bonus Plan</B>. Our Bonus Plan for Senior Management of Cerus Corporation and our International Bonus Plan, which together are
referred to as the Bonus Plan, provide for annual bonus award opportunities to reward executive officers for performance in the prior fiscal year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Option Awards</B>. In addition to salary and short-term incentive compensation under our Bonus Plan, we provide our executive officers with long-term incentives, in the form of stock options. Stock
options in 2014 were granted under our 2008 Plan and generally have a ten-year term. If Proposal No.&nbsp;2 is approved (relating to the amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan), future stock options will be made under the Restated 2008 Plan as
so amended and restated. These stock options vest, subject to continued service with us, as to 12.5% of the shares subject to the award on the six month anniversary of the vesting commencement date and then in 42 equal monthly installments
thereafter and are therefore fully exercisable within four years of the grant date, with the exception of Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom, whose option granted in 2014 vests in equal annual installments over four years. All options granted in 2014 were granted
with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Change of Control
and Severance Plans</B>. The employment agreements referred to above provide for severance benefits, which are described in more detail under the heading &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements&#148; below. In addition,
effective September 2005, and amended and restated as of December&nbsp;11, 2008, we adopted a change of control severance benefit plan, or the Severance Plan, that provides for severance benefits as a result of termination of employment in
particular circumstances in connection with a change of control and is described in more detail under the heading &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements&#148; below. Each of Dr.&nbsp;Corash, Mr.&nbsp;Green and Ms.&nbsp;Moore
are participants in the Severance Plan. The Compensation Committee has also separately approved change of control termination related equity vesting acceleration benefits for Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom, consistent with the double trigger equity vesting
acceleration benefits provided to our other NEOs in their employment agreements and the Severance Plan. This arrangement was formalized in a written agreement in March 2014. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>401(k) Plan</B>. Our 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, or the 401(k) Plan, enables eligible employees to save for retirement. As well as retirement benefits, the 401(k) Plan provides certain benefits in the
event of death, disability, or other termination of employment. The 401(k) Plan is for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees and their beneficiaries. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to shelter a percentage of their income from taxes and
choose from a number of investment funds while saving for retirement. All employees who are not residents of Puerto Rico, covered by a collective bargaining agreement for which retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith negotiations, a

Mr.&nbsp;Greenman was granted an option, pursuant to the 2008 Plan, to purchase 550,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The stock option vested over a four
year period, with 12.5% of the shares subject to the option vesting six months after the vesting commencement date and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter. The agreement also provides that, in the event
Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s employment is terminated by us without cause, subject to his execution of a release of claims, and in each case other than within 12 months following a change of control, he will be entitled to receive severance pay equal to

group health insurance coverage through COBRA, we will be obligated to pay his COBRA premiums necessary to continue his group health insurance coverage at the same level as in effect as of the termination date for 12 months after his termination or

an agreement with us, dated as of March&nbsp;6, 2006, as amended by a letter dated December&nbsp;11, 2009 and an addendum dated February&nbsp;17, 2011, which provides that Cerus Europe B.V., our European subsidiary, may terminate
Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s employment by providing him with at least six months written notice, except in certain circumstances deemed to be urgent cause, and Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom may terminate his employment by providing Cerus Europe with at least three
months written notice. In addition, during his employment and for a period of 12 months after the termination of his employment, he agreed not to (i)&nbsp;undertake or be engaged in any activities within the Netherlands, which are the same as or
similar to the activities of Cerus Europe or the enterprises affiliated with Cerus Europe, or (ii)&nbsp;solicit the employment of or employ any of Cerus Europe staff and refrain any form of business contact with customers and other business
relations of Cerus Europe or enterprises affiliated with Cerus Europe, even if the initiative for this business contact comes from these customers and relations. As consideration for these noncompetition and non-solicitation obligations, Cerus
Europe agreed to pay Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom twelve months of gross salary; provided that, if Cerus Europe determines at its discretion to shorten the period of the noncompetition and non-solicitation obligations, then Cerus Europe would only be required
to pay Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom one month&#146;s gross base salary per month of such restriction. The agreement, as amended and supplemented, also provides for the following additional benefits: (a)&nbsp;use of a company car, with a monthly least budget of
&#128;1,265 and (b)&nbsp;the opportunity for Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom to take out pension insurance, to which we will contribute a maximum of 10% of Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s gross base salary. We also agreed, pursuant to letters dated as of
December&nbsp;18, 2007 and January&nbsp;11, 2012, to pay the premiums for the healthcare insurance for Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom, his wife and his children and pay his home telephone and internet expenses. The Compensation Committee has also separately
approved change of control termination related equity vesting acceleration benefits for Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom, consistent with the double trigger equity vesting acceleration benefits provided to our other NEOs in their employment agreements and the
Severance Plan. This arrangement was formalized in a written agreement in March 2014. Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom is entitled to a maximum bonus target of 40% under the Bonus Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Severance Plan.</I> Effective September 2005 and amended and restated as of December&nbsp;11, 2008, we adopted the Severance Plan, that provides for severance benefits as a result of termination of
employment in particular circumstances in connection with a change of control. At the time the Severance Plan was put in place, each of our executive officers with an individually negotiated agreement providing for severance benefits was given the
option of participating in the Severance Plan or continuing to receive the severance benefits provided for in his agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Greenman and Dr.&nbsp;Corash each opted to participate in the Severance Plan. In connection with
Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer, however, he entered into the employment letter described above and is no longer a participant in the Severance Plan. Ms.&nbsp;Moore and Mr.&nbsp;Green are also
participants in the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan provides for the payment of certain benefits to certain eligible employees in exchange for an effective release of claims in the event the employee is terminated by us without cause or by him as
a good reason resignation on or within 12 months following a change of control (as such terms are defined in the Severance Plan). The severance compensation consists of a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 12 months of the participant&#146;s
annual base salary (excluding incentive pay, premium pay, commissions, overtime, bonuses and other forms of variable compensation) as in effect during the last regularly scheduled payroll period immediately preceding the termination event.
Additionally, the Severance Plan provides for paid COBRA premiums for continuation coverage (including coverage for his eligible dependents) for 12 months and accelerated vesting and exercisability of all of the participant&#146;s then-outstanding
stock option awards. </FONT></P>

Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s employment agreement with us, dated as of March&nbsp;6, 2006, as amended by a letter dated December&nbsp;11, 2009 and an addendum dated February&nbsp;17, 2011, provides that we may terminate Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s
employment by providing him with at least six months written notice, except in certain circumstances deemed to be urgent cause. In addition, we may require Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom to be bound by the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set
forth in his employment agreement. In that case, for each month that we elect to require him to be bound by these provisions, up to 12 months, we would be obligated to pay Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom an amount equal to approximately $23,577 per month (which
amount represents one month of Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom&#146;s base salary as of December&nbsp;31, 2014), or $282,930 for the full 12-month period, based on an average conversion rate from Euros to U.S. Dollars for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 of
1.1935. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, the total amount payable to Mr.&nbsp;Hogeboom in this termination scenario, assuming we elected to require him to be bound by these provisions for the full twelve month period would be $282,930.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee reviews director compensation on a periodic basis. In late 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Radford
Consulting to provide an assessment of the compensation of our Board of Directors. Using the same peer list that was selected for the Executive Compensation Review in 2013, Radford Consulting prepared an assessment and provided recommendations for
2014 cash and equity compensation in a report delivered to the Compensation Committee in January 2014. These recommendations were included in the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, or the Amended Policy, which became
effective on January&nbsp;1, 2014. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014, the Amended Policy provides that each director, other than the Chair of the Board, who is not also one of our officers or employees, will be compensated for his or her
services as a director at the rate of $40,000 per year. The Chair of the Board will receive an annual retainer of $62,500 per year. The annual retainer is paid to our non-employee directors in equal quarterly installments. In addition to the annual
retainer, the chairs of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees will receive an additional annual retainer of $26,000, $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. Each other member of the Audit
Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee who is not one of our employees will receive an annual retainer of $13,000, $8,000 and $6,000, respectively. All directors, including those who are our officers or
employees, were reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attending Board or committee meetings. If a director joins the Board at a time other than effective as of the first day of the calendar year, each element of the annual cash
compensation will be pro-rated based on days served in the applicable calendar year, with the pro-rated amount paid for the first quarter in which the director provides the service, and regular full quarterly payments thereafter. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to cash compensation, each of our non-employee directors received an annual stock option grant on the date of our annual
meeting of stockholders under the terms of the Amended Policy. Additionally, in connection with our 2014 Annual Meeting, the annual grant made each non-employee to director included a prorated additional number of shares for the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2014 until the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting. The stock option grants made pursuant to the Amended Policy are and will be pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Plan, provided that if Proposal No.&nbsp;2 is approved (relating to the
amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan), future stock option grants will be made under the Restated 2008 Plan as so amended and restated. Pursuant to the Amended Policy, each of our non-employee directors receives a non-qualified stock option
grant covering 45,000 shares of our common stock upon his or her initial election to the Board, and a non-qualified stock option grant covering 30,000 shares, or 37,500 shares in the case of the Chair of the Board, of our common stock each calendar
year thereafter on the first trading day of the year. The number of shares subject to the director&#146;s first annual award is pro-rated based on the number of days he or she served in his or her first year of service. The initial stock option
grant vests monthly over four years and the annual stock option grant vests over 12 months, in each case subject to continued service. In the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger in which Cerus is not the surviving company or in
a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the directors&#146; awards will become fully vested. Stock options granted to our directors have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and a term
of ten years. </FONT></P>
