Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Adicet has entered into offer
letters with its NEOs (referred to in this section as the offer letters ). The offer letters set forth the NEOs base salaries, performance bonus opportunities, sign-on bonus if applicable,
equity incentive and other employee benefits that are described in this Adicet Executive Compensation section. The offer letters provide for at-will employment, meaning that either party can
terminate the employment relationship at any time, although these offer letters provide that the NEOs would be eligible for severance benefits in certain circumstances following a termination of employment without cause (other than for death or
disability) or resignation for good reason (as defined in the offer letters).
Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason
Upon the NEO s termination by Adicet without cause (other than for death or disability) or resignation by the NEO for good reason and subject to
execution and nonrevocation of a release of claims, the offer letters provide for: (i) six months base salary payable in a lump sum, (ii) monthly premium payments to continue the NEO s health insurance coverage for up to six
months following his or her termination, and (iii) if such termination occurs with 12 months following a Liquidation, acceleration of all outstanding and unvested equity awards, however resTORbio notes that the merger will not
constitute a Liquidation (as defined below).
Cause is generally defined as the NEO s:
(A) performance of any act or failure to perform any act in bad faith and to the detriment of Adicet or its affiliates, including, but not
limited to, misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud or embezzlement;
(B) material breach of any agreement with Adicet or its affiliates;
(C) commission of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person,
(D) willful refusal to implement or follow a lawful policy or directive of Adicet or its affiliates; or
(E) engagement in misfeasance or malfeasance demonstrated by a pattern of failure to perform job duties diligently and professionally.
Good Reason is general defined as the following actions taken without the consent of the NEO, subject to notice and cure periods:
(1) a change in the NEO s position with Adicet which materially and substantially reduces the level of responsibility or duties; provided,
however, that if Adicet is being acquired and made part of a larger entity, a change in the NEO s position shall not constitute Good Reason if such change does not result in a material and substantial reduction in the NEOs level of
responsibility or duties with respect to Adicet s business operations (whether as a subsidiary, business unit, division or otherwise of the acquirer) following such acquisition;
(2) a material reduction in the NEO s base salary, except for reductions that are comparable to reductions generally applicable to
similarly situated executives of Adicet; or
(3) a relocation of the NEO s principal place of employment by more than seventy-five
(75) miles from Adicet s current headquarters.
Liquidation has the meaning as set forth in Adicet s certificate of
Executive Compensation Elements
The following describes the material terms of the elements of Adicet s executive compensation program during 2019.
Adicet s Board and compensation
committee recognize the importance of base salary as an element of compensation that helps to attract and retain the NEOs. Adicet provides base salary as a fixed source of income for its NEOs for the services they provide to Adicet during the year,
and allows Adicet to maintain a stable executive team. The current base salaries for Adicet s NEOs are as follows: $400,000 for Dr. Abbot (increased in 2019 in connection with Dr. Abbot s promotion to his current role), $385,000
for Dr. Galimi, and $300,000 for Ms. Krehlik (increased in 2019 to reflect a market adjustment).
Annual Cash Incentive
Adicet also provides its NEOs with annual performance-based cash bonus opportunities, which are specifically designed to reward NEOs for the overall
performance of Adicet in a given year. The target annual cash bonus amounts relative to base salary vary depending on each NEOs accountability, scope of responsibilities, potential impact on Adicet s performance and in alignment with the
external market. The NEOs current target performance-based cash bonuses opportunities are: 40% of base salary for Dr. Abbot and 35% of base salary for Dr. Galimi and Ms. Krehlik. Such bonuses are
pro-rated for any partial year of employment and are paid, if applicable, during the first quarter of 2020.
Adicet Board considers Adicet s overall performance for the preceding fiscal year and achievement of certain performance targets developed by the Adicet Board in deciding whether to award a bonus and, if one is to be awarded, the amount of the
bonus. The Adicet Board retains the ability to apply discretion in making adjustments to the final bonus payouts.
The Adicet Board considers equity
incentives to be important in aligning the interests of the NEOs with those of its stockholders. As part of Adicet s pay-for-performance philosophy, its
compensation program tends to emphasize the long-term equity award component of total compensation packages paid to its NEOs. In determining the size of the equity incentives to be awarded to Adicet s NEOs, it takes into account a number of
internal factors, such as the relative job scope, the value of existing long-term incentive awards, individual performance history, prior contributions and anticipated future contributions to Adicet and the size of prior grants. Adicet uses stock
options to compensate its NEOs both in the form of initial grants in connection with the commencement of employment and periodic refresher grants. Because employees are able to profit from stock options only if Adicet s stock price increases
relative to the stock option s exercise price, Adicet believes stock options in particular provide meaningful incentives to employees to achieve increases in the value of Adicet stock over time. While Adicet intends that the majority of equity
awards to its employees be made pursuant to initial grants or its periodic refresh grants, the Adicet Board retains discretion to grant equity awards to employees at other times, including in connection with the promotion of an employee, to reward
an employee, for retention purposes or for other circumstances recommended by management or the Adicet Board. The exercise price of each stock option grant is the fair market value of Adicet s common stock on the grant date. Adicet does not
have any stock ownership requirements for its named executive officers. Each of the outstanding equity incentive awards held by Dr. Abbot, Dr. Galimi and Ms. Krehlik were issued pursuant to the Adicet 2015 plan.
Adicet Bio Inc. s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. The Adicet 2015 plan was originally adopted by the Board/approved by the stockholders of Adicet on
August 13, 2015 and most recently amended in October 2019.
The Adicet 2015 plan allows Adicet to provide incentive stock options, within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (each, an award and the recipient of such award, a participant ) to eligible employees,
directors, officers and consultants of Adicet. Following the completion of the merger, certain outstanding Adicet awards will be converted into options to purchase common stock of resTORbio as described in more detail in the section entitled
The Merger Agreement Merger Consideration and Exchange Ratio beginning on page 207 of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.
Share Reserve. In connection with the most recent amendment of the Adicet 2015 plan, Adicet authorized an aggregate of 21,594,044 shares of Adicet
common stock for issuance under the Adicet 2015 plan. As of August 4, 2020, 13,462,799 shares of Adicet s common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options granted under the Adicet 2015 plan, and there were no other
awards outstanding under the Adicet 2015 plan.
Eligibility. Awards other than incentive stock options may be granted to employees, directors and
consultants of Adicet. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Adicet or a subsidiary. Awards may also be granted to such employees, directors or consultants who are residing in
non-U.S. jurisdictions as the administrator may determine from time to time.
Administration. The Adicet
2015 plan is administered by the Adicet Board or a committee thereof. The administrator has all authority and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Adicet 2015 plan and to control its operation, including the authority to construe
and interpret the terms of Adicet 2015 Plan and the awards granted thereunder. The administrator s decisions are final and binding on all participants and any other persons holding awards
Corporate Transaction. In the event of a corporate transaction, as defined in the Adicet 2015 plan, unless otherwise provided in an applicable award
agreement, outstanding awards that are not assumed will terminate (with vested option holders having the ability to exercise prior to closing). The Adicet 2015 plan administrator also has the option to accelerate all or a portion of any unvested
awards in connection with a corporate transaction
Employee Benefits Program
Adicet s NEOs are eligible to participate in regular health insurance, vacation, and other employee benefit plans established by Adicet for its employees
on the same terms as are made available to employees of Adicet generally. These benefit programs are designed to enable Adicet to attract and retain its workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health, welfare and vacation benefits ensure that Adicet
has a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits.
Dr. Galimi and Dr. Abbot are each entitled
to fully taxable reimbursements for reasonable travel and lodging expenses of up to $6,000 per month (for two years from start of employment with respect to Dr. Galimi, and for three years from start of employment, with respect to Dr. Abbot) for
travel to the San Francisco Bay Area in order to provide services to Adicet under their offer letters, and, in the alternative, a one-time taxable lump sum payment of up to $60,000 for reasonable moving
expenses if the NEO permanently relocates to the San Francisco Bay Area in order to provide services to Adicet.
Adicet currently maintains a 401(k)
retirement savings plan that allows eligible participants to defer a portion of their compensation, within limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, on a pre-tax or
after-tax basis through contributions to the plan. Adicet s NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees generally. No matching contributions were
provided in 2019. Adicet believes that providing a vehicle for retirement savings through Adicet s 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of Adicet s executive compensation package and further incentivizes Adicet employees, including
Adicet s NEOs, in accordance with Adicet s compensation policies.
