Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In connection with its purchase of the various series of the Issuer’s convertible preferred stock, Longitude Venture II and the other purchasers of such convertible preferred stock entered into an Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated November 7, 2017, with the Issuer (the “Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which such parties have been granted certain registration rights with respect to the Issuer’s convertible preferred stock and the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, including the right to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions. The terms and provisions of the Rights Agreement are described more fully in the Registration Statement, and the above summary is qualified by reference to such description and the full text of such agreement, which is filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Statement.

 

In connection with the IPO, each of Longitude Venture II and Dr. Hirsch have entered into a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which each such party is prohibited from disposing of or hedging its shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) during the period from June 27, 2018 through the date that is 180 days after June 27, 2018, except with the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC, certain of the underwriters of the IPO, and subject to certain limited exceptions. The terms and provisions of such lock-up agreement are described more fully in the Registration Statement, and the above summary is qualified by reference to such description and the full text of such agreement, which is filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Statement.

 

As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Issuer has historically compensated its directors for their services as such with an annual cash retainer (and reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and applicable committees thereof), and the Board has approved an amended compensation policy for its non-employee directors, including Dr. Hirsch, that became effective upon the completion of the Issuer’s IPO. Such compensation policy generally provides for (i) cash compensation, including an annual retainer for service as a member of the Board and supplemental annual retainers for membership and chair positions on certain of the Board’s committees, and (ii) equity compensation, including stock option and restricted stock unit awards with a specified grant date fair value, to be granted upon initial appointment as a director and on an annual basis on the date of each of the Issuer’s annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, in connection with his service on the Board, Dr. Hirsch has entered into an indemnification agreement with the Issuer, which generally provides that the Issuer will indemnify Dr. Hirsch to the fullest extent permitted by law and its amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The terms and provisions of such director compensation policy and indemnification agreement are described more fully in the Registration Statement, and the above summaries are qualified by reference to such descriptions and the full text of such document or agreement, as applicable, which are filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to this Statement.
