On June 19, 2020 (“Effective Date”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from seven (7) to eight (8) members, and effective upon the Effective Date, appointed Andong Huang to fill the newly created vacancy, with Mr. Huang to serve on the Board as a Class II director until the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Mr. Huang was designated by Syntone Ventures LLC pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Syntone Ventures LLC, dated May 22, 2020, the terms of which are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2020. Mr. Huang is the Vice President, Business Development of Syntone Technologies Co. Ltd., an affiliate of Syntone Ventures LLC.

 

Mr. Huang will receive compensation as a non-employee director in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy that took effect on October 1, 2019, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2020. Pursuant to the automatic grant program under such policy, Mr. Huang was granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which vests annually over three-years, subject to Mr. Huang’s continuous service through the applicable vesting dates, and acceleration in the event of a change of control as defined in the plan. Such option grants have an exercise price of $1.35 per share (the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on June 19, 2020 as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market) and a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination for cessation of continuous service.

 

In connection with the aforementioned appointments to the Board, the Company entered into its standard indemnification agreement, which form indemnity agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-209011) filed with the SEC on January 15, 2016 with Mr. Huang, which requires the Company, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, to indemnify the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against certain expenses and other amounts incurred by him as a result of either of him being made a party to certain actions, suits, investigations and other proceedings.
