Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On June 6, 2013, Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its state of incorporation from the State of Oregon to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan of Merger”). As used herein, the “Company” refers to Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Sarepta Oregon”), at all times prior to the effectiveness of the Reincorporation and refers to Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sarepta Delaware”), upon and after the effectiveness of the Reincorporation.
The Reincorporation was accomplished by filing (i) Articles of Merger with the Oregon Secretary of State, (ii) a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and (iii) an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State. In connection with the Reincorporation, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted new bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”), effective as of June 6, 2013.
The Reincorporation was previously submitted to a vote of, and approved by, the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 4, 2013. Upon the effectiveness of the Reincorporation:
• | the affairs of the Company ceased to be governed by Oregon’s corporation laws, the affairs of the Company became subject to Delaware’s corporation laws and the Company’s prior Articles of Incorporation and prior Bylaws were replaced by the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws; |
• | the Company (i) is deemed to be the same entity as Sarepta Oregon for all purposes under the laws of Delaware, (ii) continues to have all of the rights, privileges and powers of Sarepta Oregon, except for such changes that result from being subject to Delaware law and becoming subject to the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws, (iii) continues to possess all of the properties of Sarepta Oregon and (iv) continues to have all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Sarepta Oregon; |
• | each outstanding share of Sarepta Oregon’s common stock converted to an outstanding share of Sarepta Delaware common stock; |
• | each outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of the Company’s Oregon common stock converted to an outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of the Company’s Delaware common stock; |
• | each employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of Sarepta Oregon continues to be an employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of the Company; and |
• | each director or officer of Sarepta Oregon continues to hold his or her respective office with the Company. |
The foregoing description of the Reincorporation, Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware Bylaws and Plan of Merger does not purport to be complete. The summaries included herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware Bylaws and Plan of Merger, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 2.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Certain rights of the Company’s stockholders were changed as a result of the Reincorporation. A more detailed description of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws and the changes in rights of the Company’s stockholders as a result of the Reincorporation is set forth in Proposal No. 2 of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 30, 2013, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
In connection with the Reincorporation, the Company approved a revised form of its common stock share certificate, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), upon recommendation of its compensation committee of the Board, previously approved, subject to shareholder approval, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”)
and the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). At the 2013 Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Restated Plan and the ESPP.
The terms and conditions of the Restated Plan and ESPP are described in Proposal Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) on June 4, 2013, filed with the Commission on April 30, 2013. The Company’s executive officers are eligible to participate in the Restated Plan and ESPP. The Restated Plan and ESPP are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
As previously disclosed, Michael A. Jacobsen, former Vice President, Finance of the Company has worked for the Company on an interim basis to help maintain business continuity during the Company’s transition to its new principal executive offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In accordance with the Retention and Severance Benefits Letter Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.3 the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, Mr. Jacobsen’s employment with the Company ceased effective May 31, 2013.
