Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 17, 2024, Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (the “Company”) held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which was previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The 2024 Plan became effective on May 17, 2024 upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting and replaces the Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated 2012 Incentive Award Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan shall be equal to the sum of (i) 8,000,000 shares, (ii) 4,073,955 shares, which equals the number of shares available for future grant under the 2012 Plan as of May 17, 2024, and (iii) any shares underlying awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan that, on or after May 17, 2024, terminate, expire or lapse for any reason without the delivery of shares to the holder thereof.
A description of the material terms of the 2024 Plan was included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2024, and which description and text are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
