Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 21, 2019, the Board of Directors of UroGen Pharma Ltd. (the “Company”) adopted the UroGen Pharma Ltd. 2019 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”), effective immediately, pursuant to which the Company reserved 900,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares for issuance under the Inducement Plan. The only persons eligible to receive grants of Awards (as defined below) under the Inducement Plan are individuals who satisfy the standards for inducement grants under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) or 5635(c)(3) and the related guidance under Nasdaq IM 5635-1, including individuals who were not previously an employee or director of the Company or are following a bona fide period of non-employment, in each case as an inducement material to such individual’s agreement to enter into employment with the Company. An “Award” is a nonstatutory stock option, restricted stock unit or other right to receive ordinary shares pursuant to the Inducement Plan. On May 21, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors also adopted forms of nonstatutory stock option and restricted stock unit grant notices and agreements for use with the Inducement Plan. Awards granted under the Inducement Plan are intended to be used in the recruitment of new team members, largely focused in the areas of new commercial roles, operational roles, and other general and administrative positions to support the planned commercialization of the Company’s first product candidate.

The description above of the terms of the Inducement Plan is not complete, and reference is made to the Inducement Plan filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto for a full description of the terms of the Inducement Plan. The forms of nonstatutory stock option and restricted stock unit grant notices and agreements for use with the Inducement Plan are attached as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3 hereto.
