EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and therefore we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are not required to conduct votes seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers or the frequency with which such votes must be conducted.

We could be an emerging growth company through 2023, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held bynon-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.00 billion innon-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately.

What is the difference between being a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner?

Many of our stockholders hold their shares through stockbrokers, banks, or other nominees, rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some differences between being a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner.

As the beneficial owner, you have the right to tell your nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your nominee authorizing you to do so. Your nominee has sent you instructions on how to direct the nominee’s vote. You may vote by following those instructions and the instructions on the Notice.

-4-


How is a quorum reached?

The presence, in persononline or by proxy, of holders of at least a majority of the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “brokernon-votes” (i.e., shares represented at the meeting held by brokers, bankers or other nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote such shares and, with respect to one or more but not all proposals, such brokers or nominees do not have discretionary voting power to vote such shares), if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each item?

 

Proposal 1: Elect Directors

  

As this is an uncontested election of directors, each director nominee must receive a greater number of shares voted FOR his or her election than shares voted AGAINST such election (also known as a “majority” of the votes cast) to be elected a director. You may vote either FOR the nominee or AGAINST the nominee. Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote beneficial owners’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as brokernon-votes. Such brokernon-votes will also have no effect on the results of this vote.

 

Proposal 2: Ratify Selection of our

Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

  

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast for this proposal is required to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote shares held in street name on this proposal without voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Accordingly, we do not expect brokernon-votes for this proposal. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to select our

independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020,2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.

 

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

LogicBio does not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. Should any other business come before the meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Subject to the provisions of our bylaws, your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

What does it mean if I receive more than one notice of internet availability of proxy materials, proxy card or voting instruction form?

It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with a broker or other nominee. Please vote in accordance with the instruction set forth on the notice of internet availability, proxy card or voting instruction form with respect to all of your shares.

Who should I call if I have any additional questions?

If you hold your shares directly, please call Bryan Yoon, Corporate Secretary of the Company, at (617)245-0399. If your shares are held in street name, please contact the telephone number provided on your voting instruction form or contact your broker or nominee holder directly.-5-

MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our certificate of incorporation, states that the Board of Directors shall consist of not fewer than three and not more than fifteen members, and the precise number of directors shall be fixed by a resolution of the Board of Directors. Each director holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a vote of the majority of the directors then in office.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Each of our directors identified below serves in the class indicated. Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, or bylaws, our Class IIIII directors, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will serve until the 20232024 annual meeting of stockholders, our Class III directors will serve until the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and our Class I directors will serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and our Class II will serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three classes.

Director Independence

Under Nasdaq Rule 5605, a majority of a listed company’s board of directors must be comprised of independent directors. In addition, Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions andphase-in provisions, each member of a listed company’s audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee be independent and, in the case of the audit committee and compensation committee, satisfy additional independence criteria set forth in Rules10A-3 and10C-1, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Chimovits, Enyedy and Wyzga and Drs. Chen, Kay, Moscicki and O’Connell, representing seven of our eight directors, other than Mr. Chereau, our Chief Executive Officer, is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). Our Board of Directors also determined that each of the current members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee satisfies the independence standards for such committee established by the SEC and Nasdaq rules, as applicable. In making such determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each suchnon-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances deemed relevant in determining their independence.

Board Membership Criteria

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to our Board of Directors criteria for Board membership and, consistent with those criteria, recommending to the Board of Directors director candidates and nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders. As reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, it is the policy of the Board of Directors that all directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that each director should possess the requisite ability, judgment and experience to oversee the Company’s business, and should contribute to the overall diversity of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors considers the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of its overall composition and the Company’s current and anticipated future needs. In particular, the Board of Directors considers diversity of background and experience, as well as ethnicity, gender and other forms of diversity. Stockholders may also nominate persons to be elected as directors in accordance with our bylaws and applicable law, as described under “General Matters—Stockholder Proposals and Nominations.” The Nominating

and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a written policy regarding stockholder nominations, but has determined that it is the practice of the committee to consider candidates proposed by stockholders if made in accordance with our bylaws.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board of Directors held fivefour meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Each of the directors, other than Mr. Enyedy, who joined the Board of Directors in March 2020, attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she served during the year ended December 31, 20192020 (in each case, which were held during the period for which he or she was a director and/or a member of the applicable committee and excluding any meetings in which a director was an interested party).

Thenon-employee directors met in executive session during each of the regularly scheduled Board of Directors meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

It is a policy of the Board of Directors that its members make every effort to attend our annual stockholder meetings in person or be present via teleconference.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

We have not designated a chairperson or a lead directorOur current Board leadership structure separates the positions of the Board. The independent membersChief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors, although we do not have periodically reviewed the Board’s leadership structure and have determineda corporate policy requiring that the Company and our stockholders are well served with this structure.

From time to time, the Board may appoint a standing chairperson if at such time the Board believes doing so would be in the best interest of the Company. The Board believes that this separation is appropriate for the Company at this time because it allows for a division of responsibilities and a sharing of ideas between individuals having different perspectives. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is in the best interestsalso a member of our Board of Directors, is primarily responsible for our operations and strategic direction, while our Board Chair, who is an independent member of the Company forBoard, is primarily focused on matters pertaining to corporate governance, including management oversight and strategic guidance. The Board believes that this is the Board tomost appropriate structure at this time but will make a determinationfuture determinations regarding whether or not to separate the roles of any chairpersonChair and the Chief Executive Officer based on the then-current circumstances.

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors and its committees play an important role in risk oversight at LogicBio through direct decision-making authority with respect to significant matters, as well as through the oversight of management by the Board of Directors. In particular, the Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function through (1) the review and discussion of regular periodic reports by the Board of Directors and its committees on topics relating to the risks that LogicBio faces, (2) the required approval by the Board of Directors (or a committee of the Board of Directors) of significant transactions and other decisions, (3) the direct oversight of specific areas of LogicBio’s business by the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees and (4) regular periodic reports from the auditors and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to LogicBio’s internal control over financial reporting. The Board of Directors also relies on management to bring significant matters impacting LogicBio to its attention.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management and LogicBio’s independent registered public accounting firm LogicBio’s system of internal controls, its financial and critical accounting practices and its policies relating to risk assessment and management. As part of this process,

-13-


the Audit Committee discusses LogicBio’s major financial risk exposures and steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or accounting matters. See “Risks Related to Compensation Practices and Policy” below for information related to the Compensation Committee’s oversight of compensation-related risks.

Because of the role of the Board of Directors and its committees in risk oversight, the Board of Directors believes that any leadership structure that it adopts must allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to LogicBio’s operations. The Board of Directors acknowledges that there are different leadership structures that could allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to the Company’s operations, but it believes its current leadership structure enables it to effectively provide oversight with respect to such risks.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors and is described more fully below. Each committee operates pursuant to a written charter, and each reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter periodically and submits its charter to the Board of Directors for approval. The charter for each committee is available on our website (www.logicbio.com) under the “Investors—Corporate Governance” section.

The following table describes which directors serve on each of the Board of Directors’ committees.

Compensation Consultants

As a part of determining compensation for our executive officers and directors, the Compensation Committee engaged Arnosti Consulting, Inc., or Arnosti Consulting, as its independent compensation consultant during 2019.2020. Arnosti Consulting provided analysis and recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding cash and equity compensation for such officers and directors.

-17-


In determining to engage Arnosti Consulting, the Compensation Committee considered its independence, taking into consideration relevant factors, including the absence of other services provided to the Company, the amount of fees the Company paid to Arnosti Consulting as a percentage of its respective total revenue, Arnosti Consulting’s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationship any individual compensation advisor has with an executive officer of the Company, any business or personal relationship any individual compensation advisor has with any member of the Compensation Committee and any stock of the Company owned by Arnosti Consulting or its individual compensation advisors. The Compensation Committee determined, based on its analysis in light of all relevant factors, including the factors listed above, that the work of Arnosti Consulting and its individual

compensation advisors as compensation consultants to the Compensation Committee has not created any conflicts of interest, and that Arnosti Consulting is independent pursuant to the independence standards set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards promulgated pursuant to Section 10C10C-1 of the Exchange Act.

Delegation of Authority and The Role of Management

The Compensation Committee may delegate to subcommittees, consisting of one or more members of the Compensation Committee, any of the responsibilities of the full committee and may delegate any of its responsibilities to the extent permitted by applicable law to the CEO and/or other senior officers, except that compensation actions affecting the CEO or other senior officers may not be so delegated to any senior officer.

A subset of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, participate in general sessions of our Compensation Committee. Management does not participate in executive sessions of our Compensation Committee. At the request of our Compensation Committee, our Chief Executive Officer makes compensation-related recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to annual base salary, target bonus opportunities and long-term incentive award grants for our executive officers (other than himself). No member of the management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, has a role in determining his or her own compensation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has at any time during the prior three years been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Risks Related to Compensation Practices and Policies

The Compensation Committee maintains apay-for-performance compensation philosophy, but also recognizes that providing certain types of compensation incentives may inadvertently motivate individuals to act in ways that could be detrimental to the Company in order to maximize personal compensation. To mitigate such risk, the Compensation Committee reviews at least annually the overall structure and components of our compensation program and, with respect to our executive officers, the levels of compensation under such program. The Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation program and believes that it does not encourage inappropriate actions or risk taking and is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we do not believe that the mix or design of the components of our executive compensation program encourages our executive officers to assume excessive risks. We believe that our compensation program, current business process and planning cycle fosters the behaviors and controls that would mitigate the potential for adverse risk caused by the action of our executives, including the following:

 

base salaries that are consistent with our executive officers’ responsibilities and the market and that are established to ensure that our executive officers would not be motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security;

 

corporate objectives for our annual bonus program for our executive officers that are consistent with our annual operating and strategic plans, that are designed to achieve the proper risk/reward balance, and that should not require excessive risk taking to achieve;

 

the mix between fixed and variable, annual and long-term and cash and equity compensation is designed to encourage strategies and actions that balance our short-term and long-term best interests; and

 

equity awards vest over a period of time, which we believe encourages executives to take a long-term view of our business.

No changes were made to cash compensation in connection with this review.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of LogicBio for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, and has discussed these statements with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, or Deloitte, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. LogicBio management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of LogicBio in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and discusses any issues it believes should be raised with us. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee also reviewed management’s report on its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2020.

The Audit Committee also received from, and discussed with, Deloitte the written disclosures and other communications that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Deloitte also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by Rule 3526 of the PCAOB. PCAOB Rule 3526 requires independent registered public accounting firms annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in their professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, to confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure and has discussed with Deloitte its independence from LogicBio.

Based on its discussions with management and Deloitte, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and Deloitte, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the LogicBio Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file with the SEC reports showing ownership of and changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock and other equity securities. On the basis of information submitted by the Company’s directors and executive officers, the Company believes that its directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock timely filed all required Section 16(a) filings for fiscal year 2020, except that (i) Arix Bioscience plc filed a late Form 4 on October 5, 2020 in connection with sales of common stock made in July, August and September 2020 and (ii) Mr. Chiang filed one late Form 4 on November 12, 2020 in connection with a grant of an option to purchase shares of common stock on November 2, 2020.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Except as described below, there have been no transactions since January 1, 2019 in which we were a party, the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had a direct or indirect material interest.

Indemnification Agreements and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Related Person Transactions Policy

We have adopted a related person transactions policy that governs the review and approval of related person transactions. Pursuant to this policy, if we want to enter into a transaction with any of our executive officers, directors, director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock or immediate family members of any of the foregoing, the Audit Committee will review all of the material facts of the proposed transaction and either approve or disapprove of such transaction. If advance approval by the Audit Committee of such a transaction is not feasible, such matter will be reviewed and, if the Audit Committee determines it to be appropriate, ratified at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether such transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Board of Directors is divided into three classes. The members of each class are elected to serve a three-year term with the term of office of each class ending in successive years. Leon ChenFrederic Chereau, Richard Moscicki and Daniel O’ConnellMichael Wyzga are the Class IIIII directors whose terms expire at the 20202021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Drs. ChenMessrs. Chereau, Moscicki and O’ConnellWyzga have each been nominated for and have agreed to stand for election to the Board of Directors to serve as a Class IIIII director of the Company for three years and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Our bylaws provide for a majority voting standard for the election of directors in an uncontested election. Accordingly, a director nominee will be elected at the Annual Meeting only if the votes properly cast FOR his election exceed the votes properly cast AGAINST his election.

It is intended that, unless you give contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies will be voted FOR the election of the nominees listed. LogicBio has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unable to serve. In the event that the nominees are unexpectedly not available to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by the Board of Directors, or the Board of Directors may determine that no directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Information relating to the nominees for election as directors and for each continuing director, including his period of service as a director of LogicBio, principal occupation and other biographical material is shown earlier in this proxy statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES FOR CLASS IIIII DIRECTORS.

-32-


PROPOSAL NO. 2—RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or Deloitte, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.2021. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2019.2018.

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 objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Deloitte to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

We expect that a representative of Deloitte will attend the Annual Meeting and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2020.2021.

SEC rules concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents allow us or your broker to send a single notice or, if applicable, a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside, if we or your broker believe that the stockholders are members of the same family, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses.
