Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 24, 2019, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company), upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Carol Gallagher, Pharm.D., as a Class II director of the Company, and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, with a term of office expiring at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Gallagher and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director. In addition, there are no transactions in which Dr. Gallagher has an interest that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Pursuant to the Companys compensation policy for non-employee directors (the Compensation Policy), Dr. Gallagher (i) will receive an annual cash retainer of (a) $35,000 for service on the Board and (b) $7,000 for service as the Chair the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and (ii) was granted on the date of her appointment an option to purchase 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock, which vests monthly over a three-year period. The Compensation Policy also provides for further automatic annual option grants to purchase 15,000 shares of the Companys common stock on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, which vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Each of the option grants described above will vest in full in the event of a change in control (as defined in the Companys 2019 equity incentive plan) provided Dr. Gallagher remains in continuous service with the Company as of immediately prior to such change in control. Dr. Gallagher has also entered into the Companys standard form of Indemnity Agreement for directors of the Company.
