On February 12, 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with John Houston, Ph.D., the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer and a current member of its Board of Directors. Under the terms of the agreement, Dr. Houston will provide consulting and advisory services to the Company until March 1, 2027.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to (i) pay Dr. Houston a lump sum of $457,000 in March 2026, which amount was equivalent to the amount that Dr. Houston would have received as an employee for a 2025 bonus based on achievement of our 2025 corporate goals as approved by the Company's board of directors, had he continued to be employed by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer on the date of payment, (ii) reimburse Dr. Houston for up to $27,914 in COBRA health continuation coverage, subject to his election of such coverage, (iii) pay an hourly rate of $500 for services provided in excess of eight hours per month. The vesting of Dr. Houston's previously-granted equity continued pursuant to terms of the relevant grant agreements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized expenses totaling $0.5 million related to this agreement, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
