Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 19, 2019, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Processa”) approved the Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for a variety of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, shares of Processa’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash incentive awards, dividend equivalent units and other stock-based awards. Awards under the Plan may be granted to Processa’s eligible employees, directors, or consultants, as determined by the administrator of the Plan. The Plan provides that an aggregate maximum of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events.

 

Simultaneously with the approval of the Plan, Processa’s prior equity incentive compensation plan, the Heatwurx, Inc. 2011 Amended and Restated Equity Plan (the “Prior Plan”) was terminated. No new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan, although awards previously granted under the Prior Plan and still outstanding will continue to be subject to all terms and conditions of the Prior Plan.

 

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified by reference to the Plan, which was filed as Annex A to Processa’s definitive proxy statement filed April 26, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”), and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
