Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In connection with the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2021 Annual
Meeting") of NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NGM" or the "Company"), the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board"), upon the recommendation of the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, nominated Roger M.
Perlmutter, M.D., Ph.D. for election as a Class II director at the 2021 Annual
Meeting as part of the Board's stated objective to evolve the Board's
composition to include more members with significant biopharmaceutical industry
and operations experience. Particularly in light of the willingness of
Dr. Perlmutter to serve as a director if elected, two of NGM's current Class II
directors, David Schnell, M.D. and McHenry T. Tichenor, Jr., who have served on
the Board since January 2008 and March 2010, respectively, notified NGM on
April 26, 2021 that they are resigning from the Board, effective upon the
expiration of their respective terms at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

On April 28, 2021, NGM issued a press release announcing that Dr. Perlmutter has
been nominated for election as a Class II director at the 2021 Annual Meeting to
