Mirum Pharmaceuticals Announces Employee Awards
Mirum Pharmaceuticals has granted inducement awards to eight new employees as part of its workforce expansion efforts. The awards include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These inducement awards are in line with the company's 2020 Inducement Plan and are aimed at attracting and retaining new talent.
Details of the Stock Options and RSUs
The stock options granted allow employees to purchase shares of Mirum’s common stock at an exercise price of $41.32 per share, which is the company’s closing price on January 10, 2025. The vesting of these stock options will occur over four years. Twenty-five percent of the underlying shares will vest on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, with the remaining shares vesting monthly over the next three years, contingent on continued employment.
Additionally, Mirum granted restricted stock units (RSUs) to the new employees. These RSUs will vest over three years, with one-third of the underlying shares vesting on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The RSUs, like the stock options, are subject to continued employment with the company for the vesting period.
Conditions of the Awards
The inducement awards are governed by the terms set out in Mirum’s 2020 Inducement Plan and individual award agreements. These awards are intended to align the interests of the new employees with the long-term goals of the company, contingent upon their continued service throughout the vesting periods.
