If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares only with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to“non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules on which your broker may vote shares held in street name without your voting instructions. Onnon-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will not be voted, which is referred to as a “brokernon-vote.” Banks, brokers and other nominees are not permitted to vote your shares for the election of directors if the shares are held in street name and they do not receive instructions from you. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in “streetstreet name, your shares will not be voted on Proposal 1 relating to the election of directors

If you are a beneficial owner ofhold your shares in street name, you must contact the bank, broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote.

How many votes do you need to holdWhat is the Annual Meeting?quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to our amendedAmended and restated bylaws,Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), a quorum will be present if a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the record date,Record Date, there were 26,338,32931,870,555 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 13,169,16515,935,278 shares must be represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your bank, broker bank or other nominee) or if you attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business.

  FOR  Plurality  No

Proposal 2: Ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2016.2018

  FOR  Majority Votes

  Yes

Plurality means that the nominees for director receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. Withheld votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes”brokernon-votes will have no effect on the election of a nominee.

Majority Votes Castmeans that a proposal that receives an affirmative majority of the votes cast will be approved. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will not be counted FOR“For” or AGAINST“Against” this proposal and will have no effect on this proposal.

Broker Discretionary Voting occurs when a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and votes those shares in its discretionVotes on anyeach proposal on which it is permitted to vote.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be countedtabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For” and (with respect to proposals other than the election of directors) “Against” votes, abstentions and brokernon-votes. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total for each proposal, and will have the same effect as “Against” votes. Broker non-votes, as described in the next paragraph, have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for Proposals 1 and 2.

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.

Under current broker voting rules, any election of a member of the Board of Directors, whether contested or uncontested, is considered“non-discretionary” and

therefore brokers are not permitted to vote your shares held in street name for the election of directors in the absence of instructions from you. Proposal 1 is“non-discretionary” and therefore if you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other agent, your shares will not be voted on Proposal 1 unless you provide voting instructions to the record holder.meeting.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and approves the design of, assesses the effectiveness of, and administers executive compensation programs for officers and employees, including our equity incentive plans. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee charter, the functions of the Compensation Committee include: (1) evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer and determining the chief executive officer’s salary and contingent compensation based on his or her performance and other relevant criteria; (2) identifying the corporate and individual objectives governing the chief executive officer’s compensation; (3) approving the compensation of our other executive officers; (4) making recommendations to our board with respect to director compensation; (5) reviewing and approving the terms of material agreements between us and our executive officers; (6) overseeing and administering our equity incentive plans and employee benefit plans; (7) reviewing and approving policies and procedures relating to the perquisites and expense accounts of our executive officers; (8) preparing the annual Compensation Committee report required by SEC rules; and (9) conducting a review of executive officer succession planning, as necessary, reporting its findings and recommendations to our Board of Directors, and working with the Board in evaluating potential successors to executive officer positions.

Three directors comprised the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2015: Mr. Hayden (the Chairman of the Compensation Committee), Mr. Beshar and Ms. Samuels. The Compensation Committee met three times during 2015.

The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in the NASDAQ listing standards) other than Mr. Hayden. However, we

are permitted to phase-in our compliance with the independent compensation committee requirements set forth in the rules of NASDAQ and the Exchange Act, which would require the compensation committee to be compromised of all independent members within one year of listing. We expect that, within one year of our listing on NASDAQ, Mr. Hayden will have resigned from our compensation committee. At such time, we may appoint an independent director (as determined under the listing standards of NASDAQ and Exchange Act rules) to our compensation committee or have two directors serve on the committee. Our Board of Directors currently expects that Mr. Hayden will qualify as an independent director in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ commencing during the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, each of our directors serving on our Compensation Committee satisfiesare independent directors within the heightened independence standards for membersmeaning of a compensation committee under NASDAQapplicable Nasdaq listing standards, each member of this committee is a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act,except for Kenneth T. Mills, our President and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).

Our Chief Executive Officer, often participates in the Compensation Committee’s meetings. He does not participate in the determination of his own compensation or the compensation of directors. However, Mr. Mills does make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the amount and form of the compensation of the other executive officers and key employees, and he often participates in the Compensation Committee’s deliberations about their compensation. No other executive officers participate in the determination of the amount or form of the compensation of executive officers or directors.Allan M. Fox.

The Compensation Committee has retained Radford, a compensation consulting firm, since May 2015. In February 2016, Radford presented a new executive compensation report to the Compensation Committee. Radford provided the Compensation Committee with data about the compensation paid by our peer group of companies and other employers who compete with the Company for executives, updated the Compensation Committee on new developments in areas that fall within the Compensation Committee’s jurisdiction and was available to advise the Compensation Committee regarding all of its responsibilities. The consultant serves at the pleasure of the Compensation Committee rather than the Company, and the consultant’s fees are approved by the Compensation Committee. In February 2016, our Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Radford pursuant to applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards and concluded that the work of Radford has not raised any conflict of interest.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

A.N. “Jerry” Karabelas, Ph.D.David C. Stump, M.D.4

Below is a description of our website at www.regenxbio.com.

Three directors comprisedeach committee of the Board. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of December 31, 2015: Dr. Karabelas (the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), Dr. Engleman and Dr. Stump. Dr. Engleman has informed the Board of Directors that he will not stand for re-election and his term will expire on June 1, 2016 at the Annual Meeting. Following such time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be comprised of two directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times during 2015.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand basic financial statements and having a general understanding of the Company’s industry. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers other factors it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to:

the candidate’s relevant expertise and experience upon which to offer advice and guidance to management;

the candidate having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company;

the candidate having a proven track record in his or her field;

the candidate’s ability to exercise sound business judgment;

the candidate’s commitment to vigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders;

whether or not a conflict of interest exists between the candidate and our business;

whether the candidate would be considered independent underCommittees meets applicable NASDAQ and SEC standards;

the current composition of the Board of Directors; and

the operating requirements of the Company.

In conducting this assessment, the committee considers diversity, age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the then-current needs of the Board of Directors and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability. While diversity and variety of experiences and viewpoints represented on the Board of Directors should always be considered, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that a director nominee should not be chosen nor excluded solely or largely because of race, color, gender, national origin or sexual orientation or identity.

In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to the Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence.

When there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems it appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board of Directors by majority vote.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by the Board of Directors or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. If a stockholder of the Company wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the

stockholder recommendation should be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of our amended and restated bylaws. The stockholder recommendation must, among other things, set forth:

for each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected;

as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, and of such beneficial owner; (2) the class and number of shares of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Company in writing of the class and number of such shares owned beneficially and of record as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed; (3) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of the Company’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Company’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees; and (4) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder with respect to stock of the Company and whether any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made by or on behalf of such stockholder, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk of stock price changes for, such stockholder or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such stockholder with respect to stock of the Company;

any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Company or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Company, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Company or otherwise (a Derivative Instrument) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Company and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Company in writing of any such Derivative Instrument in effect as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed;

a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proposal of business between or among such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Company in writing of any such agreements, arrangements or understandings in effect as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed;

a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business; and

any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder inregarding “independence” and that each such stockholder’s capacity as a proponentmember is free of a stockholder proposal.

In addition, our amended and restated bylaws requireany relationship that the stockholder recommendation shall set forth as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (1) the name, age, business address and residence addresswould interfere with his individual exercise of the person; (2) the principal occupation or employment of the

person; (3) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by the person; (4) a statement asindependent judgment with regard to the person’s citizenship; (5) the completed and signed representation and agreement described above; (6) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; (7) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; and (8) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person with respect to stock of the Company and whether any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made by or on behalf of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk of stock price changes for, such person or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person with respect to stock of the Company.

We believe that each of our directors and nominees brings a strong background and set of skills to our Board of Directors, giving the Board of Directors, as a whole, an appropriate balance of the knowledge, experience, attributes, skills and expertise. In addition, four of our seven continuing directors are independent under NASDAQ standards (Mr. Mills, our Chief Executive Officer, Allan M. Fox and Donald J. Hayden, Jr. being the exceptions) and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all seven continuing directors are independent of the influence of any particular stockholder or group of stockholders whose interests may diverge from the interests of our stockholders as a whole. We believe that our directors have a broad range of personal characteristics including leadership, management, pharmaceutical, gene therapy business, marketing and financial experience and abilities to act with integrity, with sound judgment and collegially, to consider strategic proposals, to assist with the development of our strategic plan and oversee its implementation, to oversee our risk management efforts and executive compensation and to provide leadership, to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at board and committee meetings and to provide required expertise on our board committees. As described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends new members of our Board of Directors for their directorships. In evaluating such directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of our directors and nominees, including those identified in the biographical information set forth above in the section entitled “Election of Directors.” The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the members of our Board of Directors offer insightful and creative views and solutions with respect to issues facing the Company. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also believes that the members of our Board of Directors function well together as a group. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the above-mentioned attributes and qualifications, along with the leadership skills and other experiences of the members of the Board of Directors described in further detail above under the section entitled “Election of Directors,” provide the Company with the perspectives and judgment necessary to guide the Company’s strategies and monitor their execution.

Disclosure Committee and Committee Charter

We have a Disclosure Committee and Disclosure Committee charter. Our Disclosure Committee is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer; Chief Financial Officer; Chief Medical Officer; General Counsel; and certain other senior-level executive officers. Our General Counsel serves as the chair of the Disclosure Committee. The purpose of the Disclosure Committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us, and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. Our Disclosure Committee meets at least once per quarter.

Separation of CEO and Chairman of the Board Roles

Our Board of Directors separates the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while

allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. The Board of Directors recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman of the Board, particularly as the Board of Directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow. We believe that having separate positions and having an outside director serve as Chairman of the Board is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors met 13 times during 2015. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the period for which he was a director or committee member.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual stockholder meetings.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors, including the independent members of the Board of Directors, by sending a letter to the Corporate Secretary, REGENXBIO Inc., 9712 Medical Center Drive, Suite 100, Rockville, MD 20850. Each such communication should set forth (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Company’s books and, if the shares of the Company’s stock are held by a nominee, the name and address of the beneficial owner of such shares, and (2) the number of shares of the Company’s stock that are owned of record by such record holder and beneficially by such beneficial owner. The Corporate Secretary will review all communications from stockholders, but may, in her sole discretion, disregard any communication that she believes is not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. If deemed an appropriate communication, the Corporate Secretary will submit a stockholder communication to a chairman of a committee of the Board of Directors, or a particular director, as appropriate.

Code of Business Conduct

We have adoptedmaintain a code of business conduct that qualifies as a “code of ethics” under Item 406 of the SEC’sRegulation S-K and applies to each of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer orand controller, andor persons performing similar functions.

Pursuant to the Nominating and Corporate Governance

Committee charter, the functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things: (1) identifying, evaluating, and making recommendations to the Board and our stockholders concerning nominees for election to the Board, to each of the Board’s committees and as committee chairs; (2) annually reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the Board and developing and overseeing a performance evaluation process; (3) annually evaluating the performance of management, the Board and each Board committee against their duties and responsibilities relating to corporate governance; (4) annually evaluating adequacy of our corporate governance structure, policies, and procedures; and (5) providing reports to the Board regarding the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s nominations for election to the Board and its committees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand basic financial statements and having a general understanding of the Company’s industry. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers other factors it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to:

the candidate’s relevant expertise and experience upon which to offer advice and guidance to management;

the candidate having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company;

the candidate having a proven track record in his or her field;

In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers diversity, age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the then-current needs of the Board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

We believe that each of our directors brings a strong background and set of skills to our Board, giving the Board, as a whole, an appropriate balance of the knowledge, experience, attributes, skills and expertise. In addition, six of our eight directors are independent under Nasdaq standards (Mr. Mills, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Fox being the exceptions) and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all eight directors are independent of the influence of any particular stockholder or group of stockholders whose interests may diverge from the interests of our stockholders as a whole. We believe that our directors have a broad range of personal characteristics including leadership, management, pharmaceutical, gene therapy business, marketing and financial experience and abilities to act with integrity, with sound judgment and

collegially, to consider strategic proposals, to assist with the development of our strategic plan and oversee its implementation, to oversee our risk management efforts and executive compensation and to provide leadership, to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at Board and committee meetings and to provide required expertise on Board committees.

In evaluating director candidates, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of our directors and nominees, including those identified in the biographical information set forth above in the section entitled “Election of Directors.” The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the members of the Board offer insightful and creative views and solutions with respect to issues facing the Company. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also believes that the members of the Board function well together as a group. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the above-mentioned attributes and qualifications, along with the leadership skills and other experiences of the members of the Board described in further detail above under the section entitled “Election of Directors,” provide the Company with the perspectives and judgment necessary to guide the Company’s strategies and monitor their execution.

When there is a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems it appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

Diversity

The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity. However, the Board believes that it is important that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills and backgrounds that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Board Renewal

The Board believes it is important to have experienced directors with a deep understanding of the Company’s business as well as other directors who bring fresh perspectives to the Board. In its efforts to identify potential director candidates, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider the input from the directors’ self-evaluation process to identify the backgrounds and expertise that are desired and the future needs of the Board in light of anticipated director retirements or resignations. The Board’s ongoing assessment of its collective skills, experience and expertise resulted in the recruitment of two new independent directors within the past two years.

In recruiting new independent directors, the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may retain a search firm to help identify director prospects, perform candidate outreach, assist in reference and background checks and provide other related services. The recruiting process typically involves either the search firm or a member of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee contacting a prospect to gauge the prospect’s interest and availability. A candidate will then meet with several members of the Board and then meet with members of the Company’s management as appropriate. At the same time, the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the search firm will contact references for the prospect. A background check is completed before a final recommendation is made to the Board to appoint a candidate to the Board.

Meetings of the Board

The Board met 10 times during 2017. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the period for which he was a director or committee member.

Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Seven of our eight then-continuing directors attended our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee.

Performance Evaluations of the Board of Directors and its Committees

In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter, the Board, with the assistance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, evaluates the performance of the Board, its committees and each individual director on an annual basis. Each member of the Board conducts an annual self-evaluation for the purpose of determining whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. As part of this process, each director considers the effectiveness of the Board and each committee on which the director serves. The results of the evaluations are discussed at subsequent meetings of the Board and its committees.

Director Nomination

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by the recommending stockholder and the length of time that those shares have been held. To recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing to the Company, including the following information:

the name of the stockholder and evidence of the stockholder’s ownership of the Company’s common stock, including the number of shares owned and the length of time the shares have been owned; and

the name of the director candidate, a description of the candidate’s qualifications to be a director of the Company, and the candidate’s consent to be named as a director nominee if recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and nominated by the Board.

Recommendations and the information described above should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at REGENXBIO Inc., 9600 Blackwell Road, Suite 210, Rockville, Maryland 20850, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Once a person has been identified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as a potential director candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may: collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further; request additional information from the candidate and the proposing stockholder; contact references or other persons to assess the candidate; and conduct one or more interviews with the candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider that information in light of information regarding any other candidates that

the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be evaluating at that time, as well as any relevant director search criteria. The evaluation process generally does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a stockholder; however, as stated above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending stockholder and the length of time that those shares have been held.

In addition to recommending director candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, stockholders may also nominate candidates for election to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders. For more information, see “Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Voting—May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or nominate individuals to serve as directors?”

Separation of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Roles

The Board separates the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on ourday-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. The Board recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman of the Board, particularly as the Board’s oversight responsibilities continue to grow. We believe that having separate positions and having an outside director serve as Chairman of the Board is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time.

Risk Oversight

OurThe Board of Directors has responsibility for the oversight of the company’sCompany’s risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes ourthe Board of Directors receiving regular reports from boardBoard committees and members of senior management to enable ourthe Board of Directors to understand the company’sCompany’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, strategic, reputational and reputationalcybersecurity risk. The oversight of risk within the Company is an evolving process requiring the Company to continually look for opportunities to further embed systematic enterprise risk management into ongoing business processes within the Company.

The Audit Committee reviews information regarding liquidity and operations, and oversees our management of financial risks. Periodically, the Audit Committee reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management, loss prevention and regulatory compliance. Oversight by the Audit Committee includes direct communication with our external auditors,auditor, and discussions with management regarding significant risk exposures and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for assessing whether any of our compensation policies or programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board, of Directors, corporate disclosure practices, and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks. Matters of significant strategic risk are considered by ourthe Board of Directors as a whole.

Communications with the Board

The Board is interested in receiving communications from stockholders and other interested parties. These parties may contact any member (or members) of the Board or any committee of the Board, thenon-employee directors as a group or the chairperson of any committee. In addition, the Audit Committee is interested in receiving communications from employees and other interested parties regarding accounting, internal controls or

PROPOSAL 2:

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTIONAPPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016

The Audit Committee of ourthe Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, anPwC as our independent registered public accounting firm asto perform the audit of our independent auditorsfinancial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016,2018, and has further directed that management submit thethis selection of independent auditors for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPPwC has auditedserved as our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.independent registered public accounting firm since 2015. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPPwC 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.

The Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of PwC is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. As provided in the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the performance, objectivity or independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

In determining whether to reappoint PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee took into consideration a number of factors, including the length of time the firm has been engaged, the quality of the Audit Committee’s ongoing discussions with PwC, an assessment of the professional qualifications and past performance of PwC and the potential impact of changing independent registered public accounting firms. Through its experience with the Company, PwC has gained institutional knowledge and expertise regarding the Company’s operations, accounting policies and practices and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee believes that appointing a new independent registered accounting firm would require a significant time commitment that could interfere with management’s focus on financial reporting and internal controls.

Neither our amended and restated bylawsBylaws nor other governing documents or laws require stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPPwC as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPPwC to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will reconsider whether or not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.PwC. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditorsregistered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
