PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held June 21, 2024

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

We are furnishing this Proxy Statement to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors to be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held at 200 Pine Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94104, on Friday, June 21, 2024, at 8:30 a.m., local time.

When used in this Proxy Statement, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Jaguar” refer to Jaguar Health, Inc.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules require us to provide an annual report to stockholders who receive this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we have enclosed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed on April 1, 2024, as amended on April 17, 2024, with this Proxy Statement, and we will also provide copies of such documents to brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees for the benefit of their beneficial owners of record. Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, the Company is also providing access to its proxy materials over the Internet. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials at https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/financial- information/annual-reports.

The date on which the Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement, the Annual Report and form of proxy card or voting instruction form are first being sent or given to stockholders is on or about May 29, 2024.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Record Date

As of May 13, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), 293,353,560 shares of our voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 99.3822 shares of Series J Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), were issued and outstanding. Only holders of record of our Common Stock or Series J Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. A list of such holders will be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at Jaguar Health, Inc., 200 Pine Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94104 for a period of ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting. The list of stockholders will also be available for such examination at the Annual Meeting. In addition, as of May 13, 2024, there were 2,014,131 shares of our non-voting common stock outstanding (convertible into 9 shares of voting common stock), but these shares will have no voting rights with respect to any of the proposals being considered at the Annual Meeting. Each share of non-voting common stock is convertible into one-two hundred thirty-six thousand two hundred fiftieth (1/236,250th) of a share of Common Stock at the election of the holder thereof. The use of the capitalized term “Common Stock” in this Proxy Statement and related materials refers only to the Company’s voting common stock and does not include the Company’s convertible non-voting common stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, the share, per share and exercise price information in this proxy does not reflect any implementation of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) previously approved by stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on April 9, 2024.

Voting, Quorum and Revocability of Proxies

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record thereof to one vote. Each share of Series J Preferred Stock entitles the holder of record thereof to 424,304 votes (on an as converted to Common Stock basis, as provided in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series J Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation of Series J Preferred Stock”)); provided, that, any holder of Series J Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis and in the aggregate with respect to any shares of Common Stock and preferred stock of the Company beneficially owned by such holder and any Affiliates or Attribution Parties (as such terms are defined in the Certificate of Designation of Series J Preferred Stock) of such holder, more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the applicable record date (the “Voting Cap”). No other securities are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder holding Common Stock and/or Series J Preferred Stock may vote in person or by proxy on all matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, subject to the Voting Cap. Holders of Common Stock and Series J Preferred Stock (on an as converted to Common Stock basis) will vote on the Proposals together as a single class.

Stockholders have no right to cumulative voting as to any matter, including the election of a Class III director. The presence, in person or represented by proxy, of holders of one third (1/3) of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock and Series J Preferred Stock (on an as converted to Common Stock basis but subject to the Voting Cap) outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Properly executed proxies marked “ABSTAIN” or “WITHHOLD,” as well as broker non-votes, will be counted as “present” for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. If a quorum should not be present, either the chairperson of the meeting or a majority in voting power of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the adjournment may adjourn such meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for use in connection with the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof. If you submit a proxy via the Internet or by telephone or execute and return the proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying this Proxy Statement, your shares will be voted as you direct on all matters properly coming before the Annual Meeting for a vote. For Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority for the nominee. For Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.”

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”), you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy directly to the Company or to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account or through a bank or other financial intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. Your bank, broker or other financial intermediary is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other financial intermediary on how to vote your shares, but because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares. As a beneficial owner, you are, however, welcome to attend the Annual Meeting in person provided that you present a valid legal proxy granted by the record holder (i.e., bank, broker, trustee or other nominee) to you.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy as described in the proxy card or voting instruction form, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy now will not prevent you from voting your shares in person by written ballot at the Annual Meeting if you desire to do so, as your proxy is revocable at your option.

You may revoke your proxy by (a) delivering to the Secretary of the Company at or before the Annual Meeting a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy, (b) duly executing a subsequent proxy and delivering it to the Secretary of the Company at or before the Annual Meeting or (c) attending the Annual Meeting in person and voting on each proposal for which you previously granted the proxy holder authority to vote for on your behalf (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy). Any written notice revoking a proxy should be delivered at or prior to the Annual Meeting to: Jaguar Health, Inc., 200 Pine Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94104, Attention: Jonathan S. Wolin. Beneficial owners of our Common Stock who are not holders of record and wish to revoke their proxy should contact their bank, brokerage firm or other custodian, nominee or fiduciary to inquire about how to revoke their proxy.

The shares represented by all valid proxies received will be voted in the manner specified. Where specific choices are not indicated on a validly executed and delivered proxy, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted: (i) “FOR” the election of the nominee for Class III director named in this Proxy Statement, (ii) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, (iii) “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers; (iv) “FOR” the approval of an amendment to the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024); and (v)”FOR” the approval of a proposal to grant discretionary authority for the Company to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 4.

We will bear all expenses of this solicitation, including the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement. We have retained Georgeson LLC to solicit proxies for a base fee of $6,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to solicitation by use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone, facsimile or personally by our directors, officers and employees, who will receive no extra compensation for their services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock and Series J Preferred Stock.

Broker Voting

Brokers holding shares of record in “street name” for a beneficial owner have the discretionary authority to vote on some matters (routine matters) if they do not receive instructions from the beneficial owner regarding how the beneficial owner wants the shares voted at least 10 days before the date of the meeting; provided the proxy materials are transmitted to the beneficial owner at least 15 days before the meeting. There are also some matters with respect to which brokers do not have discretionary authority to

vote (non-routine matters) if they do not receive timely instructions from the beneficial owner. When a broker does not have discretion to vote on a particular matter and the beneficial owner has not given timely instructions on how the broker should vote, a broker non-vote results. Any broker non-vote will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be treated as votes cast with respect to non-routine matters.

The proposal to ratify the appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (Proposal 2) and the proposal to approve discretionary authority for the Company to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 4 (Proposal 5) are considered routine matters and brokers will be permitted to vote in their discretion on these matters on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions at least 10 days before the date of the Annual Meeting. In contrast, the proposal to elect the Class III director (Proposal 1), the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal 3) and the proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024) (Proposal 4) are not considered “routine” matters and brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on behalf of beneficial owners on such matters.

Required Vote

Proposal 1 — Election of Class III Director

With respect to the proposal to elect a Class III director (Proposal 1), you may vote in favor of the nominee or withhold your vote as to the nominee. The vote required to approve Proposal 1 is governed by Delaware law, the COI, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) and is a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present. As a result, in accordance with Delaware law, votes that are withheld will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no other effect on the election of the Class III director. Stockholders have no right to cumulative voting as to any matter, including the election of the Class III director.

Proposal 2 — Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

With respect to the proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (Proposal 2), you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 2 is governed by Delaware law, the COI and the Bylaws and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast on such proposal at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 2.

Proposal 3 — Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

With respect to the advisory vote on the approval of compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3), you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. The vote required to approve the proposal is governed by Delaware law, the COI and the Bylaws and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast on such proposal at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 3.

Proposal 4 — Amendment to the 2014 Plan to Increase the Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized for Issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 Shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024)

With respect to the proposal to approve an amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares

(equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024) (Proposal 4), you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. The vote required to approve the proposal is governed by Delaware law, Nasdaq Listing Rules, the COI and the Bylaws and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 4.

Proposal 5 — Adjournment

With respect to the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 4, you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 5 is governed by Delaware law, the COI and the Bylaws and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 5.

Note Regarding Share Number Disclosures in Proxy Statement

On April 9, 2024, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders in order to, among other things, seek stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s COI to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio of not less than one-for-two (1:2) and not greater than one-for-one hundred and fifty (1:150), with the exact ratio, if approved and effected at all, to be set within that range at the discretion of the Board on or before January 22, 2025 without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders (the “Proposed Reverse Stock Split”). On May 17, 2024, the Company announced that it will effect the Proposed Reverse Stock Split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-60, on May 23, 2024 in order to support the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards. The record date for the Annual General Meeting of Stockholders to which this proxy statement applies was May 13, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of any implementation of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, except as otherwise provided herein, the disclosures in this proxy statement reflect share numbers outstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Nominee

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five (5) members, James J. Bochnowski, Lisa A. Conte, John Micek III, Jonathan B. Siegel, and Anula Jayasuriya, who are divided into three classes with staggered three- year terms. The Board has nominated Anula Jayasuriya, whose term as a Class III director will expire at the Annual Meeting, for re-election as a Class III director. If elected as a Class III director at the Annual Meeting, the nominee will serve and hold office for a three-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until her successor has been duly elected and qualified.

The nominee has consented to continue her service as a director if elected. If the nominee should be unavailable to serve for any reason (which is not anticipated), the Board of Directors may designate a substitute nominee (in which event the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote the shares represented by all valid proxy cards for the election of such substitute nominee), allow the vacancy to remain open until a suitable candidate is located, or by resolution provide for a lesser number of directors or fill the vacancy. The nominee for director is, at present, a director of Jaguar and has been nominated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and ratified by our full Board.

Vote Required

The vote required to approve Proposal 1 is the plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series J Preferred Stock (on an as converted to Common Stock basis, subject to the Voting Cap) represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class, provided a quorum is present. As a result, in accordance with Delaware law, votes that are withheld will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no other effect on the vote for Proposal I. Stockholders have no right to cumulative voting as to any matter, including the election of Anula Jayasuriya as the Class III director.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal No. 1 to elect Anula Jayasuriya as Class III director.

RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since November 22, 2021. The following table represents the aggregate fees billed to us by RBSM in 2022 and 2023 for audit and other services rendered.

Policy on Audit Committee Preapproval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As specified in the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm prior to the receipt of such services.

Thus, the Audit Committee approved 100% of the services set forth in the above table prior to the receipt of such services and no services were provided under the permitted de minimis threshold provisions.

The Audit Committee determined that the provision of such services was compatible with the maintenance of the independence of RBSM.

Vote Required

The vote required to approve Proposal 2 is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 2.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal No. 2 to ratify the appointment of RBSM LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

PROPOSAL 3 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are required to provide our stockholders, not less frequently than once every three years, an opportunity at the Annual Meeting to vote, on an advisory basis, on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed herein. Please read the executive compensation section of this Proxy Statement for a detailed discussion about our executive compensation programs, including information about the compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2023. Because the vote of stockholders is advisory, it will not be binding on the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

Background

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

•

enable us to attract, motivate and retain the level of successful, qualified executive leadership talent necessary to achieve our long-term goals;

•

align the economic interests of our executives with those of our stockholders;

•

reward Company and individual performance; and

•

be well understood and perceived as fundamentally fair to all stakeholders, including participants and stockholders.

Our Compensation Committee and our Board believe that these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals.

We are asking you to indicate your support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, our general compensation policies, the compensation of our Board, or our compensation policies as they relate to risk management. Rather, this vote relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking you to vote, on an advisory basis, “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and the related material disclosed in this Proxy Statement.”

Required Vote of Stockholders

The vote required to approve Proposal 3 is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 3.

Although the “say on pay” vote we are asking you to cast is non-binding, the Board and Compensation Committee value the views of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when determining future compensation arrangements for our named executive officers.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal 3 to approve, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 4 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT OF THE 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment and restatement of the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024), which equals approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis including for purposes of this calculation as if such shares authorized under the 2014 Plan were included in the denominator (and assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities, including but not limited to conversion of our Series J Preferred Stock into Common Stock shares in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation as amended from time to time without any regulatory limitations, and exercise/conversion/vesting of all issued and outstanding warrants, notes, RSUs and stock options (whether issued under or outside the 2014 Plan and the like) as of May 13, 2024. A copy of the amended and restated 2014 Plan is attached hereto as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

Background

On May 20, 2024, the Board unanimously approved the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan, subject to approval by the stockholders, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024), which equals approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of May 13, 2024. The Board has directed that the proposal to amend the 2014 Plan be submitted to the stockholders for their approval at the Annual Meeting. The Board believes that our interests and the interests of our stockholders will be advanced if we can continue to offer our employees, notably at the senior management level, advisors, consultants, and non-employee directors the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in us. The Board has concluded that our ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality management and employees is material to our success and would be enhanced by our continued ability to grant equity compensation under the 2014 Plan. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan should be increased so that we may continue our compensation structure and strategy and succession planning process.

Under the 2014 Plan, options awards and restricted stock units are outstanding for a total of 2,714,138 shares that have been granted to employees, directors and consultants. Thus, the total number of shares currently available for issuance under the 2014 Plan as of May 13, 2024 is 3,818,259 shares, which equals approximately 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of May 13, 2024. If stockholders approve this Proposal 4, the total number of shares available for future stock awards under the 2014 Plan will be 49,318,259. Of the total number of shares allocated to the 2014 Plan, including the 45,500,000 share increase that is the subject of this Proposal 4, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall not exceed 45,500,000 shares together with the available number of shares previously approved for issuance as incentive stock options. Based on current forecasts and estimated stock award grant rates, if the increase is not approved, it is anticipated that the 2014 Plan could run out of available shares as soon as the second quarter of 2024.

Stockholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan is being sought (i) in order for incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code, and (ii) in order to meet The Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements. If the stockholders do not approve the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan at the Annual Meeting, the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan will not become effective, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan will not be increased by up to 45,500,000 shares.

For information with respect to grants to certain executive officers in Fiscal Year 2023 under the 2014 Plan, see page 29 and for information with respect to grants to our non-employee directors, see page 41.

The material terms of the proposed amendment of the 2014 Plan are summarized below. This summary of the 2014 Plan is not intended to be a complete description of the 2014 Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the 2014 Plan to which reference is made. A copy of the 2014 Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.32 to the Annual Report.

Material Terms of the 2014 Plan

In July 2014, our Board of Directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan became effective in May 2015. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our Eligible Employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs to Eligible Employees, directors and consultants.

Authorized Shares. We originally approved one share of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the 2014 Plan. Since the adoption of the 2014 Plan, we have unanimously approved the amendment of the 2014 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock authorized for issuance.

Pursuant to the 2014 Plan, on January 1 of each year, up to and including January 1, 2033, the number of shares allocated to the 2014 Plan automatically increases in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year (the “Evergreen Provision”). The Board of Directors may act prior to January 1 of any given year, at its discretion, to provide for no increase in shares or to add a lesser number of shares than provided for in the prior sentence.

If a stock award expires without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to restricted stock and RSUs, a stock award is forfeited, the shares that were subject to those stock awards will become available for future grant or sale under the 2014 Plan (unless the 2014 Plan has terminated). If unvested shares of restricted stock or RSUs are repurchased by the company or are forfeited to the company, such shares will become available for future awards under the 2014 Plan.

Plan Administration. The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. If we determine it is desirable to qualify transactions under the 2014 Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3, such transactions will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. Subject to the provisions of the 2014 Plan, the committee has the power to administer the 2014 Plan, including but not limited to, the power to interpret the terms of the 2014 Plan and stock awards granted under it, to create, amend and revoke rules relating to the 2014 Plan, including creating sub-plans, and to determine the terms of the awards, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each such award, the exercisability of the awards and the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise.

Options. Both incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the Code and non-statutory stock options may be granted under the 2014 Plan. Of the total number of shares allocated to the 2014 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options shall not exceed 45,500,000 shares together with the available number of shares previously approved for issuance as incentive stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the 2014 Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. For nonstatutory stock options the exercise price must equal at least 100% of the fair market value. The committee will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or other property acceptable to the committee, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, he or she may exercise the vested portion of his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her award agreement, except in the case of an employee terminated for cause (as defined in the 2014 Plan) the option will terminate upon his or her termination from service. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the vested portion of the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the vested portion of the option generally will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. An option may not be exercised after expiration of its term. However, if the exercise of an option is prevented by applicable law the exercise

period may be extended under certain circumstances. Subject to the provisions of the 2014 Plan, the committee determines the other terms of options.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards may be granted under the 2014 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of Common Stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the committee. The committee will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the 2014 Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The committee may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the committee may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to us); provided, however, that the committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the committee provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to our right of repurchase or forfeiture.

RSUs. Awards of RSUs may be granted under the 2014 Plan. An RSU is the right to receive a share of Common Stock at a future date. The committee determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including the vesting criteria (which may include accomplishing specified performance criteria or continued service to us) and the form and timing of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which RSUs will vest.

Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless the committee provides otherwise, stock awards issued under the 2014 Plan are not transferrable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime, although a recipient may designate a beneficiary to exercise an award after death.

Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain changes in the capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the 2014 Plan, the committee will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the 2014 Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits set forth in the 2014 Plan. In the event of the proposed liquidation or dissolution, the committee will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or Change in Control. The 2014 Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2014 Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the committee determines, including (i) the assumption, continuation or substitution of the stock awards by the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary, (ii) the acceleration of vesting for any unvested portion of the stock awards, or (iii) the cash-out of the stock awards.

Amendment; Termination. The Board has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan provided such action does not impair the existing rights of any participant.

Required Vote of Stockholders

To approve the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024) (this Proposal 4), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon, is required. Although failure to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or a failure to provide your broker, nominee, fiduciary or other custodian, as applicable, with instructions on how to vote your shares will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal, the failure to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting will make it more difficult to meet the requirement under the Bylaws that the holders of 1/3 in voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal No. 4 to approve the amendment and restatement of the 2014 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 45,500,000 shares (equivalent to 758,333 shares following the 1-for-60 reverse stock split to be effectuated on May 23, 2024), which equals approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of May 13, 2024.

PROPOSAL 5 — GRANT OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING IF NECESSARY TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES

Although it is not expected, the Annual Meeting may need to be adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of Proposal 4. We are seeking stockholder approval of this Proposal 5 to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of Proposal 4. The chairperson will have the discretion to decide whether or not to present this Proposal 5 to adjourn the Annual Meeting.

Required Vote of Stockholders

To approve the grant of discretionary authority to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of Proposal 4, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon is required. Although failure to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or a failure to provide your broker, nominee, fiduciary or other custodian, as applicable, with instructions on how to vote your shares will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal, the failure to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting will make it more difficult to meet the requirement under the Bylaws that the holders of 1/3 in voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal 5 to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 4.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committee must be independent. Audit Committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, such person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, our board of directors, or any other board committee (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our board of directors periodically undertakes a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that four of our five directors (i.e., Mr. Bochnowski, Mr. Micek, Mr. Siegel and Dr. Jayasuriya) do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq rules. Our board of directors also determined that Mr. Micek (chairperson), Mr. Bochnowski and Mr. Siegel, who comprise our Audit Committee, Mr. Bochnowski (chairperson) and Mr. Siegel, who comprise our Compensation Committee, and Mr. Bochnowski and Mr. Micek, who comprised our Nominating Committee, satisfy the independence standards for those committees established by applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq rules and listing standards.

In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

Staggered board

In accordance with the COI, and the Bylaws, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. The terms of the directors will expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held during the years 2024 for Class III directors, 2025 for Class I directors and 2026 for Class II directors.

•

Our Class I directors are James J. Bochnowski, Lisa A. Conte, and Jonathan B. Siegel;

•

Our Class II director is John Micek III; and

•

Our Class III director is Anula Jayasuriya.

The COI and the Bylaws provide that the number of our directors shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution of our Board of Directors, provided that the Board of Directors shall consist of at least one (1) member. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent stockholder efforts to effect a change of our management or a change in control.

Audit Committee

The members of our Audit Committee are Mr. Micek, Mr. Bochnowski, and Mr. Siegel. Mr. Micek is the chairperson of the Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our registered public accounting firm;

•

overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including through the receipt and consideration of reports from that firm;

•

reviewing and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;

•

monitoring our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of conduct;

•

reviewing and approving or ratifying any related person transactions; and

•

preparing the Audit Committee report required by SEC rules.

All audit and non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by our Audit Committee.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Micek, Mr. Bochnowski, and Mr. Siegel is an independent director under Nasdaq rules and under Rule 10A-3. All members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Micek is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by applicable SEC rules, and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations.

The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2023. The audit committee has adopted a written charter approved by our board of directors, which is available on our website at: https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/static-files/aeabd726-16c2-4219-a755-475e9c87b851.

Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Bochnowski and Mr. Siegel. Mr. Bochnowski is the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

determining, or making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer;

•

determining, or making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to, the compensation of our other executive officers;

•

overseeing and administering our cash and equity incentive plans;

•

reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to director compensation; and

•

preparing the Compensation Committee report and necessary disclosure in our annual proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

To determine compensation, the Compensation Committee, with input from the Chief Executive Officer (who does not participate in the deliberations regarding her own compensation), reviews, at least annually, and makes recommendations to the board of directors about appropriate compensation levels for each executive officer of the Company. The Compensation Committee considers all factors it deems relevant in setting executive compensation.

Our board has determined that each of Mr. Bochnowski and Mr. Siegel is independent under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations, is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is an “outside director” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Compensation Committee held one meeting in 2023. All compensation-related matters were approved at the board of directors’ level. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the board of directors, which is available on our website at: https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/static-files/653862da-1aa9-4819-b559-5c5654189e80. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain the advice of a compensation consultant as necessary to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities as set forth in its charter but only after taking into consideration factors relevant to the compensation consultant’s independence from management specified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(3)(D). The Compensation Committee currently has not retained or sought advice from a compensation consultant.

Nominating Committee

The members of our Nominating Committee are Mr. Bochnowski and Mr. Micek. Our Nominating Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

identifying individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors;

•

evaluating qualifications of directors;

•

recommending to our board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the committees of our board of directors; and

•

overseeing an annual evaluation of our board of directors.

The Nominating Committee had no meeting in 2023. All nomination-related matters were approved at the board of directors’ level. The Nominating Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the board of directors, which is available on our website at: https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/static-files/02dfed04-9508-44cd-a96a-3215e565111c.

Meetings and Attendance During 2023

The board of directors held twenty-eight meetings in 2023. Each director who served as a director during 2023 participated in 75% or more of the meetings of the board of directors and of the committees on which he or she served, if any, during the year ended December 31, 2023 (during the period that such director served).

We do not have a written policy on director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. We encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend the Annual Meeting. One director attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other employees who perform financial or accounting functions. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth the basic principles that guide the business conduct of our employees. A current copy of the code is on our website at https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/corporate-governance. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our code of business conduct and ethics, or waivers of such provisions on our website to the extent required by applicable rules and exchange requirements. The inclusion of our website address in this proxy statement does not incorporate by reference the information on or accessible through our website into this proxy statement.

Policy Against Pledging and Hedging of the Company’s Securities

Our Policy on Insider Trading and Tipping expressly prohibits directors, officers, employees and other persons determined by us to be “Insiders,” including their immediate family members sharing the same household and entities over which they exercise control, from engaging in hedging transactions involving our securities (or any other financial transactions that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in market value of our equity securities) without advance approval from the Compliance Officer. The policy similarly prohibits such individuals from holding our securities in a margin account and pledging our securities as collateral for loans without advance approval from the Compliance Officer. The policy applies to all of our securities held, excluding the exercise of options for cash under an equity plan of the Company, bona fide gifts of our securities and transactions in our securities made through an authorized Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

There were no exceptions approved by the Compliance Officer during the last fiscal year.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or Compensation Committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our board of directors or Compensation Committee.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

The COI and Bylaws contain provisions that limit the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except for:

•

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

•

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Such limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.

The COI provides that we indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, the Bylaws provide that we indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by

Delaware law. The Bylaws also provide that we shall advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity, regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law. We have entered and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions in our COI and Bylaws and the indemnification agreements we have entered into and expect to continue to enter into are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the COI and Bylaws and our indemnification agreements, may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty of care. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Board Leadership Structure

The Bylaws and corporate governance guidelines provide our board of directors with flexibility in its discretion to combine or separate the positions of Chairperson of the board of directors and chief executive officer. As a general policy, our board of directors believes that separation of the positions of Chairperson and chief executive officer reinforces the independence of the board of directors from management, creates an environment that encourages objective oversight of management’s performance and enhances the effectiveness of the board of directors as a whole. We expect and intend the positions of Chairperson of the board and chief executive officer to be held by two individuals in the future.

Risk Oversight

Our board of directors monitors our exposure to a variety of risks through our Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee charter gives the Audit Committee responsibilities and duties that include discussing with management and the independent auditors our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for monitoring and controlling exposures to cybersecurity risks and discussing such risks with management.

Nomination of Directors

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Recommendations to the board of directors for election as directors of Jaguar at an annual meeting may be made only by the Nominating Committee or by the Company’s stockholders who comply with the timing, informational, and other requirements of the Bylaws. Stockholders have the right to recommend persons for nomination by submitting such recommendation, in written form, to the Secretary of the Company, and such recommendation will be evaluated pursuant to the policies and procedures adopted by the board of directors. Such recommendation must be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, except that if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year or if the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, such recommendation must be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Corporation not earlier than 120 days and not later than 90 days prior to such annual meeting, or, if later, by the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. The deadline to submit recommendations for election as directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting has already passed.

The Nominating Committee, in accordance with the board of directors’ governance principles, seeks to create a board that has the ability to contribute to the effective oversight and management of the Company that is as a whole strong in its collective knowledge of and diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business judgment, biotechnology industry knowledge, corporate governance and global markets. The Nominating Committee does not currently have a policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. When the Nominating Committee reviews a potential new candidate, the Nominating Committee looks specifically at the candidate’s qualifications in light of the needs of the board of directors and the Company at that time given the then current mix of director attributes.

General criteria for the nomination and evaluation of director candidates include:

•

loyalty and commitment to promoting the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders;

•

the highest personal and professional ethical standards and integrity;

•

an ability to provide wise, informed and thoughtful counsel to top management on a range of issues;

•

a history of achievement that reflects superior standards for themselves and others;

•

an ability to take tough positions in constructively challenging the Company’s management while at the same time working as a team player; and

•

individual backgrounds that provide a portfolio of personal and professional experience and knowledge commensurate with the needs of the Company.

The Nominating Committee must also ensure that the members of the board of directors as a group maintain the requisite qualifications under the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards for populating the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees.

Set forth below is information concerning the gender and demographic background of each of our current directors, as self-identified and reported by each director. This information is being provided in accordance with Nasdaq’s board diversity rules.

Written recommendations from a stockholder for a director candidate must include the following information:

•

the stockholder’s name and address, as they appear on our corporate books;

•

the class and number of shares that are beneficially owned by such stockholder;

•

the dates upon which the stockholder acquired such shares; and

•

documentary support for any claim of beneficial ownership.

Additionally, the recommendation needs to include, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to recommend to the Nominating Committee for nomination to election or reelection as a director, all information relating to the person that is required pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, as amended, and evidence satisfactory to us that the nominee has no interests that would limit their ability to fulfill their duties of office.

Once the Nominating Committee receives a recommendation, it will deliver a questionnaire to the director candidate that requests additional information about his or her independence, qualifications and other information that would assist the Nominating Committee in evaluating the individual, as well as certain information that must be disclosed about the individual in the Company’s proxy statement, if nominated.

Individuals must complete and return the questionnaire within the time frame provided to be considered for nomination by the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee will review the stockholder recommendations and make recommendations to the board of directors that the Committee feels are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Nominating Committee has not received any recommendations from stockholders for the Annual Meeting.

Footnotes to Summary Compensation Table

Assumptions used in calculating the value of option awards were described in Note 11 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, incorporated herein by reference. The amounts reported for option awards were based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC topic 718. On June 3, 2019, the Company filed the Certificate of Fifth Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-70 reverse split of the Company’s voting common stock, effective June 7, 2019 (the “2019 Reverse Stock Split”).

In March 2022, the Company entered into a severance agreement with Dr. Chaturvedi on terms that were substantially identical to the Severance Agreement. The Severance Agreements provide for compensation and benefits if the executive officer is subject to (a) a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreements) (other than death or disability) or (b) a Good Reason Termination (as defined in the Severance Agreements), within three months following a change in control. The compensation and benefits payable to the executive officer pursuant to the Severance Agreements are as follows:

•

Severance payment in an amount equal to twelve months of the executive officer’s base salary, which amount will be payable, in the Company’s discretion, as a lump sum or in equal installments over twelve months (the “Severance Period”), consistent with the Company’s normal payroll practices.

•

Payment of premiums for any Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan for twelve months following the termination of employment.

•

All unvested stock options and restricted stock units will accelerate and become fully vested as of the date of termination of employment and the executive officer will be entitled to exercise any of his or her vested stock options until the one-year anniversary of the termination of employment.

Each of the executive officer’s rights to receive benefits under the Severance Agreements is contingent upon the executive officer’s execution of a release agreement.

Clawback Policy

The SEC adopted final rules in October 2022 to implement Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which mandates national securities exchanges and associations to establish listing standards requiring all listed companies to adopt and comply with compensation recovery (clawback) policies for incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers based on financial statements that are subsequently restated, and to disclose their clawback policies in accordance with SEC rules. On October 27, 2023, Nasdaq proposed its clawback listing standards that generally align with the SEC’s adopted clawback rules and require listed companies to file clawback-related disclosures in applicable SEC filings. In light of Nasdaq’s adoption of its clawback listing standards, we adopted our new Clawback Policy, which was filed as an exhibit to the Original Form 10-K, that complies with the new SEC and Nasdaq listing standards, and provides that the Company shall recover certain incentive-based compensation of our current and former executive officers in the event the Company is required to issue restated consolidated financial statements with a qualifying accounting restatement.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last two completed calendar years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers (“NEOs”), we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table.

Pay Versus Performance Table

The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Transactions with Napo Therapeutics, S.p.A.

On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Dragon SPAC S.p.A. (“Dragon SPAC”) and its sponsor, pursuant to which Dragon SPAC agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement by Dragon SPAC directly to the Company, units of Dragon SPAC, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share of Dragon SPAC and a warrant to purchase a share, for gross proceeds of approximately €8.8 million (corresponding, as at June 1, 2021, to $10.8 million). Dragon SPAC was an Italy special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of entering into a business combination with Napo Therapeutics, S.p.A. (f/k/a Napo EU, S.p.A.), with the aim of developing the pharmaceutical activities of Dragon SPAC/Napo Therapeutics combined entity in Europe. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share at an exercise price of €10 per share at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the 10-year anniversary of the consummation of the business combination and (ii) the five-year anniversary of the listing of the combined entity on a public exchange.

On August 18, 2021, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a license agreement (as amended, the “License Agreement”) with Napo Therapeutics, S.p.A. (“Napo Thera”), an Italy joint stock company and majority-owned subsidiary of Napo, pursuant to which Napo granted Napo Thera (i) an exclusive license to develop, commercialize and manufacture pharmaceutical products utilizing crofelemer or lechlemer as its active drug substance (collectively, “Products”) in Europe for short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure, HIV-related diarrhea, and symptomatic relief and treatment in patients with congenital diarrheal disorders and (ii) options to licenses to develop, commercialize and manufacture Products in Europe for additional indications. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Napo received an upfront cash payment of $10 million, 33% of which was payable no later than the earlier of sixty days following the consummation of the Merger (defined below) or December 15, 2021 and the remaining balance of which is payable no later than the earlier of the twelve-month anniversary of the consummation of the Merger or within sixty days of when Napo Thera receives more than $20 million from the Merger or private placement proceeds directly into the Combined Company (as defined below). Napo is also eligible to receive development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $12.5 million, tiered royalties ranging from 12% to 18% and additional one-time license fees of up to $40 million in the event that Napo Thera elects to acquire the license to exploit the Products in Europe for additional indications. Napo Thera’s ability to acquire the license for additional indications is subject to the availability of additional funds through financing or otherwise.

On November 3, 2021, Napo Thera and Dragon SPAC consummated a business combination (“Merger”). Following such business combination, Jaguar and the sponsor of the Dragon SPAC owned approximately 97% and 3%, respectively, of the combined company (the “Combined Company”) without taking into effect any ordinary shares of the Combined Company issuable upon conversion of any special shares of the Combined Company or the exercise of any warrants of the Combined Company.

Transactions with Executive Officers

On September 13, 2021 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors named therein (collectively, “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement an aggregate of 4,123 unregistered shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $776,197 (the “Private Placement”) or $188.26 per share, a $0.01 premium to market price (defined as the Minimum Price under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)). PIPE Investors in the Private Placement include Lisa

Conte, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Carol Lizak, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, who each invested approximately $20,000 in the Private Placement.

Transactions with CVP and Its Affiliates

In May 2019, CVP and the Company agreed to exchange two Napo convertible notes for a single CVP Note (“Exchange Note 1”). Per agreement, in consideration of the extension of the maturity date of Exchange Note 1 from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021, the Company issued a note (“Exchange Note 2”) with a principal balance of $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of Exchange Note 1 was zero.

On March 4, 2020, the Company sold to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”), a Utah limited partnership affiliated with Chicago Venture Partners L.P. (“CVP”), a royalty interest entitling Iliad to $500,000 of future royalties on sales of Mytesi (crofelemer) and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors for an aggregate purchase price of $350,000.

In September 2020, the Company and CVP also entered into a global amendment agreement, pursuant to which the maturity date of Exchange Note 2 is extended to December 31, 2022. In consideration of CVP’s grant of extension, together with the related fees and other accommodation set forth, principal debt was increased by 5% of the outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2, which was $2.6 million as of the global amendment date. The global amendment requires redemption of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock prior to payment of principal of Exchange Note 2. The global amendment agreement was accounted for as modification.

Pursuant to the global amendment agreement, the Company issued 842,500 shares of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were redeemable upon the option or discretion of the Company. The Series D Perpetual Preferred stockholders were entitled to receive 8% cumulative stock dividends, to be payable in arrears on a monthly basis for 24 consecutive months. Dividends payable on the Series D perpetual preferred shares shall be payable through the Company’s issuance of Series D Perpetual Preferred share by delivering to each record holder the calculated number of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) dividend shares. The Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were classified as liability and were measured at fair value using the income approach, which considered the weighted probability of discounted cash flows at various scenarios of redemption and perpetual holding of the shares. The Company determined the fair value of $6.4 million at contract inception date with the assistance of an independent valuation service provider to be based on discounted cash flows representing the settlement value of the shares and cumulative dividends issued using an effective borrowing rate of 12% to 15% adjusted for counterparty and a maturity date of September 30, 2021. In consideration of the global amendment agreement, no principal payment shall be made to the Exchange Note 2 until the redemption of Series D Perpetual Preferred shares. Due to the restrictive nature of the timing of cash outflows in response to the settlement of the Exchange Note 2, Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were implicitly deemed to be mandatorily redeemable upon the ultimate settlement of the outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2. The shares were redeemable at $8.00 per share on or before December 31, 2024, the date in which contractual cash outflows of the Exchange Note 2 require the entire settlement or redemption of the Series D Perpetual Preferred shares. In December 2020, the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements with a stockholder pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a total of 70,622 shares of common stock in exchange for redeeming 859,348 shares of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock. The series of exchanges was accounted for as an extinguishment which resulted to a loss amounting to $1.3 million. This is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and conversion of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock on the statement of operations as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no Series D Perpetual Preferred shares outstanding.

On April 15, 2020, Napo entered into a patent purchase agreement with Atlas Sciences, LLC (“Atlas”), an affiliate of CVP, pursuant to which Atlas agreed to purchase certain patents and patent applications (the “Patent Rights”) relating to Napo’s NP-500 drug product candidate (the “Sale”) for an upfront cash payment of $1.5 million. Concurrently with the Sale, the Company entered into a license agreement with Atlas (as amended on July 30, 2020, the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which Atlas granted the Company an exclusive 10-year license to use the Patent Rights and improvements thereon to develop and

commercialize NP-500 in all territories worldwide except greater China, inclusive of the right to sublicense NP-500 development and commercialization rights. As consideration for such license, the Company is obligated to initiate a proof-of-concept Phase 2 study of NP-500 under an investigational new drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or an IND-equivalent dossier under appropriate regulatory authorities (the “Phase 2 study”) within six months of April 15, 2020. If the Company fails to initiate the Phase 2 study by this date for any reason, including the timely receipt of adequate funding to initiate the Phase 2 study, the Company will incur a trial delay fee equal to $2,515,000 (the “Trial Delay Fee”), which amount is payable monthly over a period of approximately ten months. On October 7, 2020, the Company entered into a fee settlement agreement Atlas, pursuant to which the Company issued to Atlas 666,666 shares of Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”) and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,072,984 shares of Common Stock (the “Settlement Warrants” and, together with the Settlement Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Settlement Warrants, the “Settlement Securities”) as complete settlement and satisfaction of the Trial Delay Fee for an effective offering price of $0.918 per share, which equals the Minimum Price as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Iliad, the holder of 5,524,926 shares (the “Original Shares”) of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), pursuant to which the Company and Iliad agreed to exchange the Original Shares for (i) 842,500 shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 842,500 shares (the “Series D Preferred Shares” and, together with the Series C Preferred Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).

As a result of the Note Exchange Transactions, as of January 4, 2021, the Exchange Notes have been repaid in full and are no longer outstanding.

On October 8, 2020, the Company sold to Iliad a royalty interest (the “October 2020 Royalty Interest”) entitling Iliad to $18 million of future royalties on sales of Mytesi (crofelemer) and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors for an aggregate purchase price of $6 million. In December 2020, the Company and CVP entered into a note exchange agreement to which the Company made a prepayment of principal amounting to $1.0 million, in lieu of making cash payments to CVP on Exchange Note 2, by issuing 5,556 shares of the Company’s common stock to CVP on December 31, 2021. The exchange agreement was accounted for as a modification.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require us or will require us to indemnify each director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted incurred by the director or officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or officer.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and regulations of the SEC thereunder require our directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock, as well as certain affiliates of such persons, to file initial reports of their ownership of our Common Stock and subsequent reports of changes in such ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of our Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports and amendments thereto received by us and written representations from these persons that no other reports were required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our directors, officers and owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock complied with all applicable filing requirements, except that one Form 4 covering one transaction was filed late for each of Ms. Conte, Dr. King, Mr. Wolin, Ms. Lizak and Dr. Chaturvedi and one Form 4 covering two transactions was filed late for Dr. Jayasuriya.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Management has primary responsibility for our financial statements and the overall reporting process, including maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and discusses with the Audit Committee any issues it believes should be raised with the Audit Committee. These discussions include a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee monitors our processes, relying, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

RBSM LLP (“RBSM”), our Company’s independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 2023, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, in all material respects.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and RBSM the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee has discussed with RBSM the matters that are required to be discussed under the Public Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301 “Communications with Audit Committees”. RBSM has provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Ethics and Independence rule 3526 “Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence”, and the Audit Committee has discussed with RBSM that firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee has concluded that RBSM’s provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company are compatible with RBSM’s independence.

Based on the considerations and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report is provided by the following independent directors, who comprise the Audit Committee:

The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which Employees, Consultants, and Directors shall be granted Awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of the Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and the Awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or for the purpose of satisfying Applicable Laws, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Committee shall not implement an Exchange Program without the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at any Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company.

3.3 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or officers of the Company, except that the Committee may not delegate all or any part of its authority under the Plan with respect to Awards granted to any individual who is subject to Section 16 Persons. To the extent of any delegation by the Committee, references to the Committee in this Plan and any Award Agreement shall be deemed also to include reference to the applicable delegate(s).

A-5

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, and the provisions in this Section 4.1 regarding the annual increase, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards shall not exceed the number of shares available immediately prior to the shareholder approval of this Plan plus 45,500,000 shares (the “Share Reserve”). In addition, the Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1st of each year, for a period up to and including January 1, 2033, beginning on January 1st of the year following the year in which the Plan became effective in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1st increase in the Share Reserve for such year or that the increase in the Share Reserve for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.2 Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units is forfeited to the Company, the shares which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if unvested shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company, such shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of an Award and/or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.

4.3 Adjustments in Awards and Authorized Shares. In the event that any dividend (other than regular, ongoing dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split- up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of stock. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number.

ELIGIBILITY.

5.1 Persons Eligible for Awards. Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

5.2 Participation in the Plan. Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Board. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

STOCK OPTIONS.

Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

6.1 [Reserved]

A-6

6.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share for an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3 Exercisability and Term of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

6.4 Payment of Exercise Price.

(a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a “Cashless Exercise”), (iv) by delivery of a properly executed notice electing a Net-Exercise, (v) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

(b) Limitations on Forms of Consideration — Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s Stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months or such other period, if any, required by the Company (and were not used for another Option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

6.5 Certain Additional Provisions for Incentive Stock Options.

(a) Maximum Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. Subject to Section 4 and adjustment as provided in Subsection 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 45,500,000 shares together with the available number of shares previously approved for issuance as incentive stock options (the “ISO Share Limit”). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options shall be the number of shares determined in accordance with Section 4, subject to adjustment as provided in Subsection 4.3.

A-7

(b) Exercisability. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the Grant Date(s)) of the shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(c) Termination of Service. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than three (3) months after the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability or death, unless (a) the Participant dies during such three-month period, and/or (b) the Award Agreement or the Committee permits later exercise (in which case the Option instead may be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option). No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than one (1) year after the Participant’s Termination of Service on account of Disability, unless (a) the Participant dies during such one-year period, and/or (b) the Award Agreement or the Committee permit later exercise (in which case the option instead may be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option).

(d) Expiration. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.

6.6 Effect of Termination of Service.

(a) Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless a longer exercise period is provided by the Board, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate:

(i) Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the “Subsection”).

(ii) Death. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (1) months after the Participant’s termination of Service.

(iii) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service.

(iv) Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Subsection 6.6(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 12 below, the Option shall remain

A-8

exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Subsection 6.6(a), but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

6.7 Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Board, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.1 [Reserved]

7.2 Types of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Board shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more performance goals.

7.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Award shall be established by the Board in its discretion. Except as may be required by applicable law or established by the Board, no monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award.

7.4 Payment of Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the purchase price (if any) for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award shall be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.

7.5 Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, as shall be established by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event or as provided in Subsection 7.7. The Board, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Insider Trading Policy. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

7.6 Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section 7.6, Subsection 7.5 and any Award Agreement, during any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Subsection 4.3, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other

A-9

property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

7.7 Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Board in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or disability), then (a) the Company shall have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and (b) if the Participant did not pay any consideration for any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

7.8 Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights. Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Unit Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

8.1 [Reserved]

8.2 Types of Restricted Stock Unit Awards Authorized. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Board shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more performance goals.

8.3 Number of Securities. Each Award Agreement will specify the number of Awarded Securities and will provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Subsection 4.3 of the Plan.

8.4 Purchase Price. The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be established by the Board in its discretion. Except as may be required by applicable law or established by the Board, no monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving a Restricted Stock Unit Award.

8.5 Payment of Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the purchase price (if any) for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.

8.6 Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, as shall be established by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. The Board, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Insider Trading Policy.

A-10

8.7 Settlement of Restricted Units.

(a) Procedure; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Restricted Stock Unit Award granted hereunder will be settled according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement. Until the Restricted Stock Unit Awards are settled and the shares of Stock are delivered (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote, if applicable, or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Securities are delivered, except as provided in Subsection 4.3 of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Award Rights. Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

8.8 Cessation of Services. Each Award Agreement will specify the consequences of a Participant’s ceasing to be a Service Provider prior to the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award.

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

9.1 General. If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation”, the provisions of this Section 9 will control over any contrary provision in the Plan.

9.2 Performance Goals. The granting and/or vesting of Awards and other incentives under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made subject to the achievement of one or more Performance Goals.

9.3. Procedures. The Committee will, in writing, (i) designate one or more Participants to whom an Award will be made, (ii) determine the Performance Period, (iii) establish the Performance Goals and amounts that may be earned for the Performance Period, and (iv) determine any other terms and conditions applicable to the Award(s).

9.4 [Reserved]

9.5 Determination of Amounts Earned. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee will certify whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. A Participant will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. The Committee will have the right to (a) reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period, (b) determine what actual Award, if any, will be paid in the event of a termination of employment as the result of a Participant’s death or disability or upon a Change of Control or in the event of a termination of employment following a Change of Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, and (c) determine what actual Award, if any, will be paid in the event of a termination of employment other than as the result of a Participant’s death or Disability prior to a Change of Control and prior to the end of the Performance Period to the extent an actual Award would have otherwise been achieved had the Participant remained employed through the end of the Performance Period.

10.

CHANGE IN CONTROL.

10.1 Effect of Change in Control on Awards. Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, the Board may provide for any one or more of the following:

A-11

(a) Accelerated Vesting. The Board may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement or, in the event of a Change in Control, may take such actions as it deems appropriate to provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and/or vesting in connection with such Change in Control of each or any outstanding Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, to such extent as the Board shall determine.

(b) Assumption, Continuation or Substitution of Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquiror’s stock. For purposes of this Section, if so determined by the Board, in its discretion, an Award or any portion thereof shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, for each share of Stock subject to such portion of the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Change in Control was entitled; provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Board may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award for each share of Stock to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control. If any portion of such consideration may be received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control on a contingent or delayed basis, the Board may, in its discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change in Control on the basis of the Board’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. Any Award or portion thereof which is neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of an Award prior to the Change in Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Award Agreement evidencing such Award except as otherwise provided in such Award Agreement.

(c) Cash-Out of Outstanding Awards. The Board may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Board) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. If any portion of such consideration may be received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control on a contingent or delayed basis, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change in Control on the basis of the Board’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. In the event such determination is made by the Board, the amount of such payment (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Awards in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards.

11.

TAX WITHHOLDING.

11.1 Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), or at such earlier time as the Tax Obligations are due, the Company shall have the

A-12

power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all Tax Obligations.

11.2 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may designate the method or methods by which a Participant may satisfy such Tax Obligations. As determined by the Committee in its discretion from time to time, these methods may include one or more of the following: (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise cash or shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (c) delivering to the Company already-owned shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld or remitted, provided the delivery of such shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences as the Committee determines in its sole discretion, (d) selling a sufficient number of shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the Tax Obligations required to be withheld, (e) retaining from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant cash having a sufficient value to satisfy the Tax Obligations, or (f) any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both comply with Applicable Laws, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The amount of Tax Obligations will be deemed to include any amount that the Committee agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant or the Company, as applicable, with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax or social insurance liability to be withheld or remitted is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the Tax Obligations are required to be withheld.

12.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

12.1 Section 16 Persons. With respect to Section 16 Persons, transactions under this Plan are intended to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan, Award Agreement or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable or appropriate by the Committee.

12.2 Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

12.3 Inability to Obtain Authority. The Company will not be required to issue any Shares, cash or other property under the Plan unless all the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the admission of the shares or other property to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock or property then is listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification or rule compliance of the shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which shares of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental regulatory body, as counsel to the Company, in its absolute discretion, deems necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. federal, state or other governmental agency, which counsel to the Company, in its absolute discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the Grant Date, vesting and/or exercise as the Company may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. If the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that one or more of the preceding conditions will not be satisfied, the Company automatically will be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue the shares, cash or other property as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

13.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Subsection 4.3), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s shareholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.

A-13

No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Board. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

14.1 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

14.2 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

14.3 Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

14.4 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued.

14.5 Delivery of Title to Shares. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

14.6 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

14.7 Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards shall be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing such benefits.

A-14

14.8 Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreements hereunder, no Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Board or, if delegated by the Board to the Committee, by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award Agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, including as a result of the fact that the Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Subsection 14.8 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Board nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Subsection 14.8.

14.9 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

14.10 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Participating Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

14.11 Choice of Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

14.12 Stockholder Approval. The Plan or any increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock issuable thereunder as provided in Subsection 4 (the “Authorized Shares”) shall be approved by a majority of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote by the later of (a) a period beginning twelve (12) months before and ending twelve (12) months after the date of adoption thereof by the Board. Awards granted prior to security holder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Authorized Shares previously approved by the security holders shall become exercisable no earlier than the date of security holder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Authorized Shares, as the case may be, and such Awards shall be rescinded if such security holder approval is not received in the manner described in the preceding sentence.
