Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 12, 2022, Organovo Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2022
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting,
the Company's stockholders approved the Organovo Holdings Inc. 2022 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
The Company's Board of Directors previously approved, subject to stockholder
approval, the Plan. The Plan will replace the Company's current plan, the
Organovo Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), and the
Company will cease granting awards under the 2012 Plan and any shares remaining
available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan will be cancelled and will no
longer be available for future issuance. The 2012 Plan will continue to govern
awards previously granted under it. At the time the Board of Directors approved
the Plan, an aggregate of 1,363,000 shares of the Company's common stock were
initially reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Company committed to
reducing the new Plan share reserve by the number of shares that were granted
under the 2012 Plan and the Company's 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the
"2021 Inducement Plan") between July 25, 2022 and October 12, 2022.From July 25,
2022 to October 12, 2022, the Company issued 126,262 shares of its common stock
under the 2012 Plan. As a result, the number of shares reserved for future
issuance under the Plan is 1,236,738 shares of our common stock. The Company
also committed to reducing the aggregate number of shares of its common stock
issuable pursuant to the 2021 Inducement Plan from 750,000 shares to 51,000
shares (which includes 50,000 shares of its common stock issuable pursuant to an
outstanding option to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $2.75 per
share, leaving only 1,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2021
Inducement Plan) and the share reserve was reduced effective October 12, 2022.
The Plan became effective immediately upon stockholder approval at the Annual
Meeting. A more complete summary of the terms of the Plan is set forth in the
Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 22, 2022 (the "Proxy Statement"). Such summary is not
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
