(e) On December 19, 2019, the Board of Directors of ImmunoGen, Inc. (referred to as “we,” “our,” and “ImmunoGen”) adopted the ImmunoGen, Inc. Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”), to be effective immediately, pursuant to which we reserved 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to be used exclusively for grants of awards (as defined below) to individuals who were not previously employees or directors of ImmunoGen, or who are returning to employment following a bona fide period of non-employment with ImmunoGen, in each case as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with ImmunoGen within the meaning of Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4), we did not seek approval of the Inducement Plan by our shareholders. An “award” is any right to receive shares of our common stock or other property pursuant to the Inducement Plan, including non-statutory stock options and restricted stock unit awards. Pursuant to authority granted to it by our Board, the Compensation Committee adopted forms of agreements for use with the Inducement Plan.
Complete copies of the Inducement Plan, the form of Stock Option Agreement under the Inducement Plan, and the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement under the Inducement Plan are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The above summary of the terms of the Inducement Plan and the forms of agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
