In July 2024, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors approved a multi-year incentive compensation program for each of Matthew Gline, Chief Executive Officer; Mayukh Sukhatme, President and Chief Investment Officer; and Eric Venker, President and Immunovant CEO (the “2024 Senior Executive Compensation Program”). Pursuant to the 2024 Senior Executive Compensation Program, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors approved the following one-time cash retention awards in July 2024:
Mr. Gline and Dr. Venker received 75% of their respective cash retention awards as of June 30, 2025. The remaining 25% of the award will vest and become payable on or about September 19, 2025, in each case subject to the executive’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.
The cash retention award provided to Dr. Sukhatme was paid in full as of March 31, 2025. If a Recoupment Event (as defined below) occurs on or prior to September 30, 2025, Dr. Sukhatme will be required to repay to the Company $15.0 million of the retention award. A “Recoupment Event” will be deemed to occur if (x) Dr. Sukhatme’s employment in good standing is terminated or otherwise ceases for any reason (except as provided in the following sentence) or (y) Dr. Sukhatme breaches any of his restrictive covenant obligations. In the event Dr. Sukhatme’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in Dr. Sukhatme’s employment agreement) or due to death or disability, no portion of the cash retention award will be subject to repayment, provided that Dr. Sukhatme executes and does not revoke a release of claims. There was no Recoupment Event as of June 30, 2025.
As a result of the cash retention rewards, the Company recognized general and administrative expense of $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The remaining portion of $3.6 million as of June 30, 2025 will be recognized over the remaining service period ending September 30, 2025.
