TABLE OF CONTENTS
OSI
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

Melville, New York 11747
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the stockholders of OSI
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection
with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for
use at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on
June 13, 2007, and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
A copy of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders
accompanies this Proxy Statement. It is anticipated that the
mailing of this Proxy Statement will commence on or about
May 4, 2007.
Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of
business on April 23, 2007, the record date for the
meeting, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the
meeting. On the record date, we had issued and outstanding
57,641,611 shares of common stock, which are the only
securities that are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each share
of common stock is entitled to one vote.
The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock entitled to vote at the meeting will be necessary
to constitute a quorum. If a broker that is a record holder of
common stock does not return a signed proxy, the shares of
common stock held by such broker will not be considered present
at the meeting and will not be counted toward establishing a
quorum. If a broker that is a record holder of common stock
returns a signed proxy, the shares of common stock held by such
broker will be considered present at the meeting and will be
counted toward establishing a quorum. If a signed proxy is
received from a broker that does not have discretionary
authority to vote on one or more matters, the proxy will be
considered a “broker non-vote” for that matter and
will have the effects described in the following paragraph.
Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to
vote on the matter will be required for (i) the election of
directors; (ii) the amendment to the OSI Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, or the Plan; and
(iii) the ratification of the appointment of the
independent registered public accounting firm for the current
fiscal year. With respect to the election of directors, votes
withheld from one or more nominees will have the effect of a
“no” vote. Abstentions will have the effect of a
“no” vote with respect to both the proposal for the
amendment to the Plan and the ratification of the appointment of
the independent registered public accounting firm. Broker
non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of
directors, the amendment of the Plan and the ratification of the
appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.
Stockholders who execute proxies may revoke them by giving
written notice to our Secretary at any time before such proxies
are voted. Attendance at the meeting will not have the effect of
revoking a proxy unless the stockholder attending the meeting
notifies the Secretary, in writing, of the revocation of the
proxy at any time prior to the voting of the proxy.
The Board of Directors does not know of any matter other than
the election of directors, the amendment to the Plan and the
ratification of the appointment of the independent registered
public accounting firm for the current fiscal year that is
expected to be presented for consideration at the meeting.
However, if other matters properly come before the meeting, the
persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote thereon
in accordance with their judgment. All proxies received pursuant
to this solicitation will be voted, except as to matters where
authority to vote is specifically withheld, and where a choice
is specified as to the proposal, in accordance with such
specification. If no instructions are given, the persons named
in the proxy solicited by the Board of Directors intend to vote
(i) FOR the nominees for election as our directors named in
this Proxy Statement under the caption “Election of
Directors,” (ii) FOR the amendment to the Plan and
(iii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP
as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit
our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007.
We will bear the cost of the meeting and the cost of soliciting
proxies, including the cost of mailing the proxy materials. In
addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and
regular employees (who will not be specifically compensated for
such services) may solicit proxies by telephone. We have also
engaged MacKenzie
Partners, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies from
stockholders. The cost of such services is expected to be
approximately $5,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket
expenses.

ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
At our annual meeting, 11 directors are to be elected, each
to hold office (subject to our Bylaws) until the next annual
meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective
successor has been elected and qualified. The nominees for
election to the Board of Directors are named in the table below.
If any nominee listed in the table below should become
unavailable for any reason, which management does not
anticipate, proxies returned by the stockholders will be voted
for any substitute nominee selected by the Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee prior to or at the meeting, or for a
motion to reduce the membership of the Board to the number of
nominees available. Each of the nominees named below was elected
as our director at the annual meeting of stockholders held on
June 14, 2006, with the exception of Kenneth B.
Lee, Jr. Since June 14, 2006, our Board of Directors
consisted of 13 members. On January 1, 2007, pursuant to
our Board retirement age policy, Sir Mark Richmond, Ph.D.
retired from our Board of Directors. In addition, in accordance
with our Board retirement age policy, G. Morgan Browne and
Walter M. Lovenberg, Ph.D. submitted letters of resignation to
the Board in January 2007. The Board did not accept the
resignations of either Mr. Browne or Dr. Lovenberg at
that time and requested that they serve until the 2007 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Browne and Dr. Lovenberg
are not standing for re-election. In April 2007, the Board of
Directors, based on the recommendation of the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee, set the slate of director
nominees for election at 11. The nominees are the current
directors who are standing for re-election and Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee was recommended to the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee for its consideration by our Chairman of
the Board, Robert A. Ingram, and a current member of our Board,
Santo J. Costa. The slate of directors recommended by the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and approved by
the Board was determined following an assessment by the
Corporate
4
Governance and Nominating Committee of the skill set and
experience of the existing Board members and the determination
that expanding the Board’s expertise in financial matters
through the addition of Mr. Lee would be to the benefit of
our stockholders. The proxies cannot be voted for a greater
number of persons than the number of nominees named which is
11 nominees.

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Corporate
Governance Policies and the Code of Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Conduct which, along with our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the
charters of our Board committees, provides a framework for the
governance of our company. The Board’s Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee is responsible for periodically
reviewing our governance practices and principles.
Our Code of Conduct sets forth the standards of business conduct
and ethics for all of our employees, directors and consultants.
The Code of Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to,
conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, fair
dealing with customers, suppliers and competitors, and
compliance with laws, rules, regulations and company policies.
The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to ensure that our
business is conducted in a legal and ethical manner. Employees
may submit concerns or complaints regarding ethical issues on a
confidential basis through our ethics line, by means of a
toll-free telephone call, or to any member of our Compliance
Committee. All concerns and complaints are investigated by the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (in the case of
financial, accounting or auditing improprieties) or members of
the Compliance Committee, which is comprised of members of
senior management. Any amendments to, or waivers from, a
provision of the Code of Conduct that apply to our directors and
executive officers must be approved by the Board of Directors.
We will publicly disclose any such waivers or amendments
pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or Nasdaq.
The Code of Conduct as well as the charters of our Audit,
Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees
are available, without charge, on our website at
www.osip.com or by requesting them from our Secretary at
OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 41 Pinelawn Road, Melville, New York
11747 or by calling
(631) 962-2000.
Director
Independence
An “independent” director is a director who meets the
criteria for independence as required by the applicable law and
the Nasdaq listing standards and is affirmatively determined to
be “independent” by the Board of Directors. The Board
has determined that each of the current directors, in addition
to Mr. Lee, is independent under Nasdaq’s listing
standards, with the exception of Dr. Goddard, our CEO. The
Board also has determined that Dr. Richmond was independent
during his service as a director.
8
Certain of our directors are affiliated with companies or other
organizations with which our company has business relationships.
Mr. Costa is Of Counsel at Williams Mullen Maupin Taylor, a
law firm through which Mr. Costa provided consulting
guidance to our General Counsel, Barbara Wood, prior to becoming
a director of our company. Dr. Granner is Chairman of
Prosidion’s Scientific Advisory Board and receives a
consulting fee of $75,000 for such services. Dr. Granner is
also a director of Vanderbilt Diabetes Center at Vanderbilt
University, an organization with which Prosidion had a
collaboration agreement and under which Vanderbilt is entitled
to milestone and royalty payments upon the occurrence of certain
events related to one of Prosidion’s clinical candidates
which has been exclusively outlicensed to Eli Lilly &
Co. Dr. Lovenberg is on leave as a director of Helicon, a
company with which we have a compound screening and technology
license agreement. Dr. Mehta is a founder and managing
member of Mehta Partners LLC. Our company has retained Shah
Software Solutions to provide introductions and other consulting
services in India in connection with our consideration of
possible outsourcing of certain services. Mehta Partners
maintains a close working relationship with Shah Software
Solutions and regularly refers its clients to Shah Software for
services relating to India. Dr. Mehta does not have any
direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Shah
Software. Our company is also discussing a collaborative
relationship with a company in India for which Mehta Partners
provides strategic consulting services. Neither Dr. Mehta
nor Mehta Partners would receive any payment from this company
or from us as a result of the consummation of such collaborative
relationship. Mr. White is a partner at Cooper &
Dunham LLP, a law firm that provides legal services to us. The
Board has evaluated the business relationships of
Messrs. Costa and White and Drs. Granner, Lovenberg
and Mehta described above and has concluded that each business
relationship does not interfere with their respective exercise
of independent judgment as a director. Each of the Audit,
Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees
is made up solely of independent directors. In accordance with
SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing standards, all of
the members of the Audit Committee meet additional independence
standards applicable to audit committee members.
Board

The Board of Directors held 13 meetings during 2006. None of our
directors attended fewer than 75% of (i) the total number
of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period he
or she was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings
held by all committees of the Board on which he or she served
during the periods that he or she served.
The Board of Directors conducts its business through meetings of
the Board and the following standing committees: Executive
Committee, Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee, and Compensation Committee. The standing committees
regularly report on their activities and actions to the full
Board. Copies of the charters for our Audit, Corporate

Executive
Committee
The Board of Directors has an Executive Committee, which
currently consists of Mr. Ingram, as Chair, Mr. White,
and Drs. Goddard, Lovenberg, and Mehta. Sir Mark Richmond
served on the Executive Committee until his retirement effective
January 1, 2007. The principal function of the Executive
Committee is to exercise all the power and authority of the
Board of Directors between meetings of the Board of Directors.
No meetings of the Executive Committee were held in 2006.
Audit
Committee
We have a separately designated standing Audit Committee
established in accordance with the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.
The Audit Committee currently consists of Ms. Stevenson, as
Chair, Mr. Browne, Dr. Lovenberg and Mr. Niemiec,
who joined the Audit Committee in June 2006. The Board of
Directors has determined that Ms. Stevenson, the Chair of
the Audit Committee, possesses the attributes of an audit
committee financial expert under the rules of the SEC and
Nasdaq. The Audit Committee held 11 meetings during the last
fiscal year.
The Board of Directors amended its Audit Committee charter in
April 2007. A copy of the Audit Committee charter, as amended,
is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement
and is currently available to security holders on our website at
www.osip.com.
The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the
Board of Directors in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities
to the stockholders, potential stockholders and investment
community by overseeing the integrity of our financial
statements, including the financial reporting processes,
internal accounting and financial controls. In so doing, it is
the responsibility of the Audit Committee to foster free and
open means of communication among the directors, the independent
registered public accounting firm and our financial management.
The Audit Committee has the sole authority to, among other
things, (i) appoint and dismiss our independent registered
public accounting firm, and (ii) approve the amount of fees
and other terms of any engagement by us of the independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s
responsibilities include (i) pre-approving all audit and
permitted non-audit services to be performed by the independent
registered public accounting firm subject to such procedures as
established by the Audit Committee, (ii) obtaining and
reviewing, at least annually, a report by the independent
registered public accounting firm describing the firm’s
internal quality-control procedures and any material issues
raised by the most recent internal quality-control or peer
review of the firm, (iii) actively engaging in a dialogue
with the independent registered public accounting firm with
respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may
impact the objectivity and independence of the independent
registered public accounting firm, and (iv) reviewing and
approving policies of hiring employees or former employees of
the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit
Committee also oversees the annual and quarterly financial
reporting processes by reviewing annual reports on
Form 10-K
and quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q,
and discussing with management earnings press releases. The
Audit Committee also has responsibilities with respect to
compliance matters such as a review of our Code of Conduct,
establishment of procedures regarding complaints of accounting,
internal accounting controls, or auditing improprieties and
investigations of such complaints.
Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee
In April 2007, the Board of Directors reconstituted its existing
Nominating Committee as the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee, which currently consists of Mr. Ingram, as
Chair, Mr. Costa, Dr. Mehta and Ms. Stevenson.
Until February 2006, Mr. White served on the Nominating
Committee. In February 2006, the Board accepted
Mr. White’s resignation from the Nominating Committee
and appointed Ms. Stevenson to the Nominating Committee. In
June 2006, the Board appointed Mr. Costa to the Nominating
Committee. A copy of the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee charter is included as Appendix B to this
Proxy Statement and is currently available to security holders
on our website at www.osip.com. The Nominating
Committee held three meetings during the last fiscal year.
The principal functions of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee are to review and select candidates for
nomination to the Board of Directors as well as review and
oversee our corporate governance practices and affairs. With
respect to nominees to the Board of Directors, the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director
candidates recommended by our stockholders. Recommendations
10
with regard to nominees for election to the Board of Directors
may be submitted by any stockholder entitled to vote for the
election of directors in writing, received by the Secretary at
least 45 days prior to the date on which we first mailed
our proxy materials for the prior year’s annual meeting of
stockholders, or, if we did not have an annual meeting of
stockholders in the prior year, 90 days prior to the date
of the annual meeting. Each notice of nomination must set forth
(i) the name, age, business address and, if known,
residence address of each nominee, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of each such nominee, and
(iii) the number of shares of our common stock which are
beneficially owned by each such nominee.
Our Board of Directors has also established certain minimum
qualifications for board members, including being at least
21 years old and possessing (1) the ability to read
and understand corporate financial statements, (2) relevant
business experience and professional skills, (3) high moral
character and personal and professional integrity, and
(4) the willingness to commit sufficient time to attend to
his or her duties and responsibilities as a director of a public
corporation. In addition, the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee may consider a variety of other qualities
and skills, including (i) expertise in drug research,
development
and/or
commercialization, (ii) the ability to exercise independent
decision-making, (iii) the absence of conflicts of
interest, (iv) diversity of gender, ethnic background,
country of citizenship and experience, and (v) the ability
to work effectively with other directors in collectively serving
the long-term interests of all stockholders. Nominees must also
meet any applicable requirements of SEC regulations, state law,
and our charter and bylaws.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has
established a process for identifying and evaluating nominees
for director. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
will annually assess the qualifications, expertise, performance
and willingness to serve of existing directors. If at this time
or at any other time during the year the Board of Directors
determines a need to add a new director with specific
qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the Board, the Chair of
the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will then
initiate the search, working with staff support and seeking
input from other directors and senior management, considering
nominees previously submitted by stockholders, and, if deemed
necessary or appropriate, hiring a search firm. An initial slate
of candidates satisfying the specific qualifications, if any,
and otherwise qualifying for membership on the Board, will then
be identified and presented to the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee by the Committee Chairman. The Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee will then prioritize the
candidates and determine if the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee members, other directors or senior
management have relationships with the preferred candidates and
can initiate contacts. If not, contact would be initiated by a
search firm. To the extent feasible, all of the members of the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the CEO will
interview the prospective candidate(s). Evaluations and
recommendations of the interviewers will be submitted to the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for final
evaluation. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
will meet to consider such recommendations and to approve the
final candidate. The Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee will evaluate all nominees for director, including
nominees recommended by a stockholder, on the same basis.
With respect to the review and oversight of corporate governance
practices and affairs, the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee has, among others, the following responsibilities and
duties: (i) develop and periodically review our corporate
governance practices and principles; (ii) evaluate the
effectiveness of the Board and make recommendations relating to
practices, policies and performance of the Board;
(iii) periodically review and assess the structure of the
Board and committee functions and composition, including
recommending committee assignments for directors and Chairs of
committees and overseeing annual self-evaluations of the Board
and the committees; (iv) review directorships in other
public companies by or offered to directors; (v) review and
revise policies for director tenure and retirement;
(vi) review, analyze and report to the Board all
relationships of the directors with our company that could
impair their independence as defined by applicable SEC and
Nasdaq rules and regulations in order to assist the Board with
its responsibility to make an affirmative determination
regarding the independence of directors; and (vii) review
and consider conflicts of interests regarding Board members and
executive officers and approve related person transactions.

last fiscal year.
The Board of Directors amended its Compensation Committee
charter in March 2007. A copy of the Compensation Committee
charter, as amended, is currently available to security holders
on our website at www.osip.com.
Under the charter, the Compensation Committee is authorized to
exercise all power and authority of the Board of Directors with
respect to the compensation of employees, including approving
the compensation paid to our executive officers and non-employee
directors. The Compensation Committee also administers our stock
and other incentive equity plans. The Compensation Committee has
the authority to delegate any or all of its powers and authority
to one or more subcommittees.
The Compensation Committee’s approval of executive
compensation is based on a report prepared by our CEO and our
Vice President of Human Resources, which consists of a detailed
analysis, evaluation and recommendation for the compensation of
the executive officers (other than the CEO). Compensation
decisions are then made by the Compensation Committee after
reviewing the report and after discussing the recommendations
with our CEO. For a more detailed discussion of this process,
please see the discussion in our “Compensation Discussion
and Analysis” section below.
In addition, as part of the Compensation Committee’s
oversight of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee
has the authority, to the extent it deems necessary or
appropriate, to retain independent compensation consultants and
other professional advisors to assist it in carrying out its
responsibilities. Currently, management has a relationship with
Radford, a division of Aon Consulting, Inc., an outside
compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee is currently
considering whether to restructure the relationship with Radford
so that Radford reports directly and independently to the
Compensation Committee. For a more detailed discussion of this
relationship, please see the discussion in our
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section below.
Review,
Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related
Persons
We have written policies and procedures to address potential or
actual conflicts of interest and the appearance that decisions
are based on considerations other than the best interests of our
company that may arise in connection with transactions with
certain persons or entities. Our Policy and Procedures with
Respect to Related Person Transactions operates in conjunction
with our Code of Conduct and is applicable to all transactions,
arrangements or relationships in which (a) the company is a
participant; (b) the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and
(c) any Related Person has or will have a direct or
indirect interest, or Related Person Transactions. A Related
Person includes (i) any person who is or was at the
beginning of the fiscal year, a director, director nominee or
executive officer of our company; (ii) any person who is
known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting
securities; or (iii) any immediate family member (as
defined in the SEC rules and regulations) of the foregoing.
All Related Person Transactions are subject to review and
approval or ratification by the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee. Our legal department prepares and
maintains schedules of Related Persons and requests and reviews
information from directors, director nominees and executive
officers regarding relationships that may potentially fall
within the definition of Related Person Transactions. In
addition, our legal department reviews all agreements into which
our company enters against the Related Persons schedules to
determine whether further review of the agreement is warranted
by the General Counsel who will then determine whether the
transaction should be reviewed by the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee or under certain circumstances, as
determined by the General Counsel in consultation with the CEO
or the CFO, by the Chair of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee.
As part of the review process, the General Counsel and the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will take into
account, among other factors deemed appropriate, the Related
Person’s relationship to our company and interest in and
the value of the transaction; the benefits of the transaction to
our company; the availability of other sources of comparable
products or services; and whether the transaction is on terms
that are comparable to the
12
terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees
generally. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, or
the Chair, will approve only those Related Person Transactions
that are in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of our
company and our stockholders.
Our CEO, CFO and General Counsel are also charged with
presenting for ratification to the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee, or the Chair, any Related Person
Transaction that has not been previously approved or ratified.
Transactions involving ongoing relationships with Related
Persons are reviewed and assessed annually by the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee to determine if they are in
the best interests of our company and our stockholders to
continue, modify or terminate the Related Person Transactions.
In addition, other than non-discretionary contributions, all
proposed charitable contributions or pledges of charitable
contributions are subject to review and approval or ratification
by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s activities
with respect to the review and approval or ratification of all
Related Person Transactions are reported periodically to the
Board of Directors.
There were no Related Person Transactions for the year ended
December 31, 2006.
Director
Policies
Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual
Meetings. We encourage, but do not require, our
Board members to attend the annual meeting of stockholders.
Eleven of our directors attended our 2006 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Retirement Age Policy for Members of the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors approved a
retirement age policy for members of the Board effective as of
January 1, 2007. Upon reaching the age of 72, a director is
required to submit a letter of resignation to the Chairman of
the Board. Upon receipt of a letter of resignation, the Chairman
of the Board will refer the letter to the Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee of the Board for consideration. If the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, in its
discretion, believes that there are circumstances which would
justify waiver by the Board of the normal retirement age, it
will so recommend to the Board, and the Board will promptly
consider such recommendation. If the Board, following a
recommendation by the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee, decides to waive the normal retirement age for a
director, such director’s letter of resignation will be
deemed to have been withdrawn, and such director shall continue
to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, assuming
that such director is so willing to serve. If the Board fails to
act within 30 days following receipt by the Chairman of the
Board of the letter of resignation, the letter of resignation
shall be deemed to have been accepted as of the 30th day
following such receipt. In accordance with the new policy,
Dr. Richmond, retired as a director effective
January 1, 2007. In addition, Mr. Browne and
Dr. Lovenberg submitted letters of resignation to the Board
in January 2007. The Board did not accept the resignations of
either Mr. Browne or Dr. Lovenberg and requested that
they serve until the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Mr. Browne and Dr. Lovenberg are not standing for
re-election.
Security
Holder Communications with the Board of Directors
We have established procedures for security holders to
communicate directly with the Board of Directors on a
confidential basis. Security holders who wish to communicate
with the Board or with a particular director may send a letter
to the Secretary at OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 41 Pinelawn Road,
Melville, New York 11747. The mailing envelope must contain a
clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a
“Security Holder-Board Communication” or
“Security
Holder-Director
Communication.” All such letters must identify the author
as a security holder and clearly state whether the intended
recipients are all members of the Board or just certain
specified individual directors. The Secretary will make copies
of all such letters and circulate them to the directors
addressed. If a security holder wishes the communication to be
confidential, such security holder must clearly indicate on the
envelope that the communication is “confidential.” The
Secretary will then forward such communication, unopened, to the
Chairman of the Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Executive
Compensation Policy
Our long-term success as a company depends on our ability to
discover, develop and commercialize innovative molecular
targeted therapies addressing major unmet medical needs in
oncology, diabetes and obesity. In order to achieve these goals,
we must continue to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled
and talented employees at all levels of our company. We
therefore are committed to providing a competitive total
compensation package to all employees, including our executive
officers, which rewards their performance and contributions
towards achieving corporate and individual goals, and provides
an appropriate mixture of current pay and long-term incentive
compensation.
Our compensation policies for executive officers are based on
the same principles that guide our compensation programs for all
employees:
|
|
|
|
•
|
We promote a “pay for performance” culture by
providing a compensation structure which effectively
distinguishes between different levels of performance. Annual
performance-based and long-term incentive compensation together
comprise the majority of compensation paid to our executive
officers.
|
|
|
•
|
Compensation is based on the achievement of clearly defined
corporate and individual objectives, and appropriately rewards
employees for accomplishing these goals. The corporate component
of compensation is more heavily weighted for executive officers,
as they have a greater ability to influence our company’s
results.
|
|
|
•
|
We strive to make our compensation decisions fair, balanced and
easily understood by all of our employees. We communicate openly
with our employees regarding our compensation process, pay
structure and performance objectives.
|
16
|
|
|
|
•
|
An executive officer’s compensation reflects the value of
his or her position at our company. We seek to offer a level of
compensation to our executive officers that is competitive with
the compensation paid by our peer group of companies.
|
|
|
•
|
In addition to rewarding the achievement of annual objectives,
our compensation policies provide our executive officers with
incentives to remain with the company to meet our long-term
goals.
|
We review our compensation program on an annual basis to confirm
that it continues to support our corporate objectives, including
whether such program is sufficient to attract and retain the
level of talent we need to remain competitive within our
industry.
Oversight
of Our Executive Compensation Program
As previously discussed in this Proxy Statement, our Board of
Directors has established a Compensation Committee comprised of
independent directors to approve all matters relating to the
compensation of our executive officers and non-employee
directors as well as certain matters for all employees.
Independent
Compensation Consultant
For 2006, our management engaged Radford, a division of Aon
Consulting, Inc., as outside compensation consultant to advise
us on matters related to the compensation of our non-employee
directors, executive officers and other employees. In this
capacity, Radford provided us with market data and
recommendations on best practices regarding compensation
programs and structures. The Compensation Committee is currently
considering whether to restructure the relationship with Radford
so that Radford reports directly and independently to the
Compensation Committee.
Executive
Compensation Process
Approximately five years ago, we engaged Watson Wyatt Worldwide
to review our existing compensation policies and procedures for
all of our employees, including our executive officers. At that
time, we went through an extensive job leveling exercise to
ensure that our positions were assigned to the appropriate grade
level within our system. We purposely set out to link pay ranges
to objective, relevant factors such as skill level, competencies
and job description. The end result of these efforts was the
creation of our performance management process.
Our performance management process is at the core of our
compensation policy for both our executive officers and all
other employees. This process seeks to align the efforts of our
employees, including our executive officers, with our corporate
objectives through the use of measurable corporate and
individual goals. The key elements of our performance management
process are as follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Establishment of Objectives. For our executive
officers, the establishment of objectives is closely tied to our
annual business planning and budget process to ensure that the
goals of our executive officers are aligned with our corporate
objectives. In the fourth quarter of each year, our management
prepares an annual business plan and budget for the review and
approval by our Board of Directors which sets forth our
principal corporate and strategic objectives for the coming
fiscal year, both on a departmental and company-wide basis.
These objectives then become the principal measures of each
executive officer’s performance for the coming year.
|
|
|
•
|
Behavioral Evaluations. We utilize a
behavioral evaluation model to assess those interpersonal skills
we believe are necessary for success at our company. The skills
we evaluate for our executive officers include problem solving
and analysis, management and leadership, judgment and decision
making, results orientation and collaboration and communication.
The results of these behavioral evaluations are then factored
into the performance rating for each executive officer as
discussed below.
|
|
|
•
|
Year-End Assessment. Prior to the conclusion
of each fiscal year, our Vice President of Human Resources
prepares for our CEO a compensation analysis for each of our
executive officers. This analysis includes the total
compensation paid to each executive officer for the previous
year, and an analysis of the compensation paid by our peer group
of companies for comparable positions.
|
17
|
|
|
|
•
|
Performance Measurement of our Executive
Officers. The CEO is responsible for evaluating
the performance of the other executive officers. Their
performance is principally measured against the achievement of
the key corporate objectives outlined in our annual business
plan, with a particular emphasis on those corporate objectives
of particular relevance to the individual executive’s area
of responsibility. Considerable weight is also given to the
executive officer’s performance in responding to business
events and circumstances that occur in any given year and impact
the potential achievement of key objectives or require effective
response to emerging challenges in meeting those key objectives
within his or her areas of responsibility. The executive
officers’ performance in managing the functional areas of
responsibility and their teams, as well as their contribution to
the executive management committee’s collective efforts in
managing the business, represent another primary area of
emphasis in assessing performance rating by the CEO.
|
|
|
•
|
Performance Measurement of the CEO. The CEO
does not evaluate his own performance or make recommendations to
the Board regarding his compensation; this assessment is
provided by the Compensation Committee. The CEO’s
performance is primarily driven by his performance against the
key objectives in the annual business plan and by the CEO’s
leadership in response to business events and circumstances that
occur in any given year that impact overall company performance.
Consideration is given to timely and effective decision making
and to appropriate, effective and timely communication and
involvement of the Board in material corporate decisions. In
assessing the CEO’s performance, a greater emphasis is
placed on our stock performance and external perceptions of the
organization than for the other executive officers.
|
|
|
•
|
Performance Ratings. Once the performance
measurement process is complete, the CEO assigns a performance
rating to each executive officer other than the CEO. We employ a
five point rating scale for all of our employees, including our
executive officers. The ratings are then used to determine the
amount of merit increase of base salary, annual bonus and equity
grants to be awarded to each employee in the manner discussed
below. The performance of the executive officers under this
formula is assessed by the CEO who recommends a rating for each
executive officer (other than the CEO) to the Compensation
Committee for subsequent discussion. The Compensation Committee
determines a performance rating for our CEO based on the
criteria discussed above.
|
Once the performance rating for each executive officer is
determined, our Vice President of Human Resources engages in the
following procedures to assist the CEO in making compensation
recommendations to our Compensation Committee for each executive
officer:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Benchmarking. Each year, we go through
considerable effort to assess compensation trends in the
marketplace and any impact this may have on our approach to
compensation. We target the total cash compensation (i.e., base
salary and bonus) for each of our executive officers so that it
is between the 50th and 60th percentile of the market
total cash compensation for comparable positions as determined
through our benchmarking procedures described above. To ensure
that our executive officer compensation is competitive in the
marketplace, we benchmark ourselves against a peer group drawn
from several nationally recognized surveys of companies within
the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Our peer group
currently consists of the following companies: Neurocrine
Biosciences, Inc., MGI Pharma, Inc., ICOS Corporation, PDL
BioPharma, Inc., ImClone Systems Incorporated, Millennium
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cephalon, Inc., Sepracor Inc., MedImmune
Inc., Celgene Corporation, Genzyme Corporation, Biogen Idec
Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., Amgen Inc. and Genentech, Inc. We
believe that our peer group is representative of the market in
which we compete for talent. Our group of peer companies
remained fairly constant from 2005 to 2006, providing a
consistent measure for benchmarking compensation. We previously
have also reviewed data from the Mid-Cap Pharmaceutical
Executive Compensation Report produced by the Hay Group. For our
U.K.-based employees and executive officer, we rely on the Alan
Jones & Associates survey. We also review data from the
ORC Worldwide compensation survey and, for our directors’
fees, we consult with Radford, who advises us on director
compensation by our peer group of companies.
|
|
|
•
|
Internal Relativity Review. We review the
total compensation package for each of our employees, including
our executive officers, to ensure that such compensation
reflects appropriate pay differences for different job levels.
|
18
|
|
|
|
•
|
Compensation Committee Report. Upon completion
of both our performance management process and our benchmarking
and internal relativity analysis, the compensation
recommendations of our CEO for each executive officer are
compiled into a detailed report which is provided to our
Compensation Committee for review and approval. The Compensation
Committee discusses with the CEO the compensation
recommendations for the executive officers (other than the CEO).
The Compensation Committee then acts on the CEO’s
recommendations and reports such actions to the Board.
Throughout the fiscal year, executive performance is discussed
at the executive sessions of the Board and such discussions are
taken into account by the Compensation Committee.
|
Elements
of our Compensation Program for 2006
Our compensation program for executive officers is comprised of
the same four primary components that we provide to our other
employees, depending on their position and grade
level — base salary, annual cash bonuses, equity
awards and benefits. Our Compensation Committee believes that
these elements provide an appropriate mixture of current and
long-term incentives to best achieve our compensation objectives
discussed above.
Base
Salary
Base salary represents the guaranteed portion of the executive
officer’s annual compensation. For 2006, the overall budget
for base salary increases for all of our employees was
established through our annual budget process. This was done by
evaluating our company’s performance in 2005 and projected
performance for 2006, as well as economic factors and the
compensation practices of our peer group of companies. The
Compensation Committee considered management’s
recommendations and approved the amount of the increase for all
employees and then reviewed and approved the CEO’s
recommendations for individual merit increases for each of our
executive officers. The average merit increase for executive
officers in 2006 was 3.5%. By comparison, the average merit
increase for our employees other than our executive officers in
2006 was 4%. The Board of Directors subsequently approved the
amount of base salary increases for all employees as part of the
process of approval of the annual budget.
Cash
Bonuses
We have established a discretionary annual cash bonus program
for all of our employees, including our executive officers. The
bonus targets, which are a percentage of base salary, for all of
our executive officers are based upon their respective grade
levels. The amount of bonus actually paid to our employees,
including the executive officers (other than our CEO), is a
function of the corporate and individual performance measures.
The CEO’s bonus is based entirely on corporate performance
measures. Consistent with our compensation objectives, a larger
portion of the bonuses for our executive officers is tied to
corporate performance as compared to individual performance. In
addition, the performance of their respective department(s) or
function group(s) is the largest component in measuring the
individual performance for executive officers (other than the
CEO).
The actual amount of the bonuses paid to our executive officers,
including our CEO, varies depending upon the company performance
and, for executive officers other than the CEO, such executive
officers’ individual performance. As discussed more fully
below, the corporate component has historically ranged between
80% and 150% of the corporate component target and the
individual performance component ranges between 90% and 120% of
the individual performance component target depending upon an
executive’s individual performance rating. The table below
sets forth the bonus targets (as a percentage of base salary)
for each of our named executive officers for 2006, as well as
the proportion of the bonus target that is based on the
achievement of corporate and individual objectives.
19
We have excluded David R. Guyer, M.D., as he did not
receive a bonus for 2006 due to his resignation from the company
in May 2006.

Mr. Atieh’s employment agreement provides that he is
eligible for an annual incentive target bonus between $200,000
and $300,000. |
The corporate component of the annual cash bonus is
discretionary and is fixed each year by our Compensation
Committee after receiving the recommendations of our CEO. In
determining the corporate performance for the year, the CEO
provides the Compensation Committee with an assessment of
performance of our executive officers against the key corporate
objectives outlined in the annual business plan and adds, for
the Compensation Committee’s consideration, a discussion of
the company’s performance in regards to events and
circumstances that occur in any given year which had an
important impact on the business. Given our stage of
development, we measure our corporate performance against the
specific objectives and goals set forth in our confidential
business plan, as opposed to set financial metrics. The goals
typically reviewed by the Compensation Committee relate to
financial performance, progress of key programs supporting
Tarceva®,
progress of our R&D pipeline, cost management, effective and
timely decision making in the face of developing events and
stock performance. The CEO provides the Compensation Committee
with a discussion weighting the relative events and importance
of individual goals and a recommendation on the corporate
performance. The Compensation Committee discusses the relative
merits of the CEO’s recommendations prior to setting the
corporate component of the bonus. The corporate component of the
annual cash bonus is targeted at 100%, but has ranged from 80%
to 150% of the corporate component target based upon the
performance of our company. In 2006, the Compensation Committee
set the corporate component at 100%.
The individual component of the annual cash bonus is based on
the executive officer’s individual performance rating,
determined in the manner discussed above. For 2006, the
individual performance component of the annual cash bonus was
set at 100% for executive officers who received one of the top
three performance ratings. In 2006, each of our executive
officers received one of the top three performance ratings,
resulting in an individual performance component of 100% for
each them.
Given the market performance of
Macugen®
(pegaptanib sodium injection), and our resulting decision to
exit the eye disease business we acquired through our
acquisition of Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in November 2005,
Dr. Goddard declined the 2006 bonus recommended by the
Compensation Committee and did not receive a merit increase to
his base salary.
Equity
Awards
We grant equity awards of stock options, restricted stock and
restricted stock units to our employees and non-employee
directors under our Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan.
We believe that the long-term nature of these awards serve an
important role in retaining and motivating our employees, and
focusing our executive officers on maximizing stockholder value.
Our equity compensation program was developed with the
assistance of Watson Wyatt, who helped us devise criteria and
formulas for the program to ensure consistency in grants to each
of our employees, based upon their respective position and
associated grade levels in our company. Typically, we grant
equity awards once a year to our employees, usually in December.
Most of our employees, including all of our executive officers,
received an annual equity grant in December 2006. The total
amount of equity to be granted was initially determined by our
CEO in consultation with our Vice President of Human Resources,
and then recommended to our Compensation Committee for approval.
The exercise
20
price for all stock options was set at the closing price of our
common stock on the date that the Compensation Committee
approved this annual grant, with such approval date serving as
the date of grant.
Equity grants to our executive officers are formula based and
designed to provide a level of equity compensation that is at
the approximate 50th percentile of that awarded by our peer
group of companies. We determine the value of the grants
provided to each executive officer by assigning such executive
officer with a fixed grant percentage based on his or her grade
level and then multiplying this percentage by his or her annual
salary. For 2006, we engaged Radford to take the resulting award
values for each of our executive officers, and calculate a
corresponding mix of stock options and equity grants using a
Black Scholes valuation model. The number of stock options and
restricted stock units received by each executive officer then
was increased or decreased from his or her formula grant amount
based on the individual performance rating received by the
executive officer. For 2006, our executive officers received
either 100% or 75% of their formula grant, based on their
individual performance ratings.
In prior years, our equity compensation program for employees
consisted entirely of stock option grants and, in rare cases,
restricted stock. In 2006, based on the recommendation of
Radford, our Compensation Committee restructured our equity
compensation program for executive officers and senior
management to include a mixture of stock options and restricted
stock or restricted stock units. We believe that providing these
combined grants effectively balances our objective of focusing
our executive officers on delivering long-term value to our
stockholders, while recognizing the potential for volatility in
our stock price that is inherent in all biotechnology companies.
Further, the use of restricted stock and restricted stock unit
awards is typically less dilutive to our stockholders compared
to stock options grants because we are able to award fewer
shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units to deliver
an approximately equivalent financial value to the recipient.
Stock options only have value to the extent that our stock
increases in value after the grant date of the options, and thus
only serve as an effective incentive if our share price
continues to increase. Restricted stock and restricted stock
units offer our executive officers the ability to automatically
realize value upon vesting, and therefore continue to serve as a
motivational tool even if our stock price decreases. As a
result, for our annual equity grant in December 2006, we
provided each executive officer with an equity grant comprised
of options and restricted stock units based upon a formula of
one restricted stock unit for every three stock option grants,
reflecting an approximately equal split in value between
restricted stock units and stock options as determined in
accordance with SFAS 123(R).
In December 2005, our executive officers did not receive an
annual equity grant based upon a recommendation by the CEO to
the Compensation Committee that the executives should not
receive equity grants until the Board of Directors determined
that our executive officers were demonstrating an effective
response to managing events following the conclusion of our
acquisition of Eyetech in November 2005. In June 2006, our Board
determined that our executive officers were effectively managing
the adverse effects of the Eyetech transaction, and as a result,
our executive officers received a grant of stock options and
restricted stock in mid-2006. Our executive officers then
received their annual equity grant for 2006 in December 2006.
Benefits
We maintain medical, dental, vision, accidental death,
disability, life insurance, a 401(k) plan and other customary
benefits for all of our employees, as well as customary
vacation, leave of absence and similar policies. Our executive
officers are entitled to participate in these programs on the
same basis as our other employees.
Perquisites
We provide very few perquisites to our executive officers. In
2006, certain of our named executive officers received a leased
car or car allowance, reimbursement of relocation expenses,
legal fees and home security systems. The specific perquisites
provided to our named executive officers in 2006 are set forth
below in our Summary Compensation Table below.
Severance
Benefits
Each of our executive officers has entered into an agreement
with our company which provide such executive officers with
severance payments and other benefits in the event of change in
control of our company. We believe
21
these agreements help to align the interests of our executive
officers with those of our stockholders by allowing our
executive officers to focus on strategic transactions that may
be in the best interest of our stockholders without undue
concern regarding the effect of such transactions on their
continued employment. The specific severance benefits payable to
our named executive officers are set forth below under
“Potential Payments Upon Termination or
Change-in-Control.”
Deferred
Compensation Plan
We are currently working with Merrill Lynch to adopt a deferred
compensation plan for our directors, executive officers and
other senior-level employees. The plan will permit participants
to defer on a pre-tax basis the receipt of up to 80% of their
annual base salary and 100% of their bonus into a trust account
established with Merrill Lynch. The plan allows participants to
save for retirement in a tax efficient manner with minimal
incremental cost to our company. Our Board of Directors approved
the plan in April 2007, and we expect to begin enrolling
participants in mid-2007.
Other
Matters
Share
Retention Guidelines; Hedging Prohibition
In December 2003, the Compensation Committee adopted a policy
which encourages share ownership by our senior management. The
purpose of the policy is to encourage our senior management to
hold between 6,500 and 10,000 shares of our common stock
depending upon the individual’s grade level. In addition,
Dr. Goddard agreed to hold at least 15,000 shares of
our common stock. Each of our named executive officers currently
holds in excess of 10,000 shares of our common stock, with
Dr. Goddard holding in excess of 80,000 shares of our
common stock.
Our executive officers are not permitted to hedge their economic
exposure to our common stock.
Deductibility
Cap on Executive Compensation
U.S. federal income tax law prohibits the company from
taking a tax deduction for certain compensation paid in excess
of $1,000,000 to the named executive officers listed in the
Summary Compensation Table below. However, performance-based
compensation, as defined in the tax law, is fully deductible if
the programs are approved by stockholders and meet other
requirements. Our policy is to qualify our incentive
compensation programs for full corporate deductibility to the
extent feasible and consistent with our overall compensation
goals as reflected in the summary compensation table below.
COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the
Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy

(a) |
|
See the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section
for a discussion of how the bonus amounts were determined. |
|
(b) |
|
Stock awards consist of grants of restricted stock and
restricted stock units. The amounts reflected in this column
represent compensation expense recorded in the income statement
for fiscal year 2006 pursuant to SFAS 123(R). |
|
(c) |
|
The amounts reflected in this column represent compensation
expense recorded in the income statement for fiscal year 2006 as
provided under SFAS 123(R). Note that the December 2006
changes to the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure
rules provide that compensation to a named executive officer
resulting from stock option grants is determined by the
compensation expense that we record in our financial statements
for 2006 with respect to such grants. Under SFAS 123(R), we
recognized compensation expense in 2006 based on the value of
that portion of stock option grant that relates to the services
provided by the grant recipient in 2006. To determine the value
of stock option awards, we use a Black Scholes pricing model to
value stock options at the time of their grant. This model
requires us to estimate the future value of our stock price
based in part on the historic price volatility of our stock.
Given the significant volatility in our stock price, the
volatility factor used to value our stock option grants has
ranged in recent years from 78% in 2004 to 55% in 2006. Higher
volatility factors result in a higher potential future value
assigned to the stock option grants. These values are not
necessarily reflective, however, of the value that the option
holder may actually realize upon the exercise of the stock
option. For example, the Summary Compensation Table reflects a
2006 compensation expense of $598,491 related to a 2004 grant of
50,000 stock options to Dr. Goddard with an exercise price
of $67.63. This |
23
|
|
|
|
|
exercise price is significantly above the highest sale price
reported in 2006 for our common stock on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market of $43.17. |
|
(d) |
|
Given the market performance of
Macugen®
(pegaptanib sodium injection), and our resulting decision to
exit the eye disease business we acquired through our
acquisition of Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in November 2005,
Dr. Goddard declined the 2006 bonus recommended by the
Compensation Committee and did not receive a merit increase to
his base salary. |
|
(e) |
|
Consists of a car allowance of $6,351, a 401K plan match of
$6,601, expenses relating to a home security system of $86,697
(due to multiple home protests conducted by animal rights
activists) and legal services of $31,802 related to the
preparation of Dr. Goddard’s employment agreement. |
|
(f) |
|
Consists of $111,180 of compensation expense resulting from
3,000 shares of restricted stock which vested in 2006 and
$29,679 of compensation expense related to the grant of
6,700 shares of restricted stock and 5,025 restricted stock
units in 2006. |
|
(g) |
|
Consists of a 401K plan match of $6,662 and a reimbursement of
relocation and temporary living expenses of $299,798 (including
a $66,355 gross up for taxes). |
|
(h) |
|
Consists of a 401K plan match of $6,617, a car allowance of
$8,120 and a reimbursement of relocation expenses of $54,028
(including a $19,255 gross up for taxes). |
|
(i) |
|
Compensation amounts have been converted from British Pounds to
U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the year
ended December 31, 2006 of U.S. $1.85 per £1. |
|
(j) |
|
Consists of a car allowance of $26,640, 401K plan contribution
of $43,290, tax services of $10,943 and telephone expenses of
$2,019. |
|
(k) |
|
Consists of compensation expense required to be recognized in
our financial statements for 2006 under SFAS 123(R) with
respect to certain awards of restricted stock of Eyetech made to
Mr. Chaney prior to our acquisition of Eyetech in November
of 2005. Under the terms of the merger agreement with Eyetech,
upon the merger, each outstanding share of Eyetech restricted
stock issued prior to the merger was converted to
.12275 shares of OSI restricted stock and the right to
receive $15 in cash consideration, subject to the vesting
schedule that applied to the Eyetech restricted stock awards
made prior to the merger. The amount shown in the above table
reflects the compensation expense required to be recognized
under SFAS 123(R) upon the vesting of these converted
restricted stock awards in 2006 as well as the $15 per
share cash consideration paid in 2006 upon the vesting of such
shares of restricted stock. |
|
(l) |
|
Consists of a 401K plan match of $7,500. |
|
(m) |
|
Dr. Guyer resigned from OSI in May 2006. |
|
(n) |
|
Represents the sum of the value of our common stock issued to
Dr. Guyer upon vesting of his Eyetech restricted shares
(calculated in the manner described in footnote (c) above)
plus the cash component of the Eyetech merger consideration. See
footnote (k) above for a discussion of the Eyetech
restricted shares. |
|
(o) |
|
Represents the expense recognized by us upon the deemed
modification of Dr. Guyer’s stock option grant when
his status changed from employee to consultant in May 2006
resulting in an expense charge for the full amount of the option
grant. Dr. Guyer’s stock option grant continues to
vest in accordance with its original terms of grant. |
|
(p) |
|
Includes consulting fees earned by Dr. Guyer during 2006
pursuant to a consulting agreement we entered into with him
effective as of May 2, 2006 following his resignation.
Under the consulting agreement, Dr. Guyer agreed to provide
certain transitional and consulting services to us and our Board
of Directors in the field of ophthalmology and has agreed to
certain non-competition, non-solicitation and nondisclosure
agreements. During the first year of the consulting agreement,
Dr. Guyer was paid $775,000, which consisted of
compensation for transition services to be provided to the
Company and an annual retainer for services to be provided to
our Board of Directors. For services provided during the
remaining three years of the consulting agreement,
Dr. Guyer will be paid an annual retainer of $250,000 for
services to be provided to our Board of Directors. All amounts
remaining to be paid under the consulting agreement will become
immediately due and payable in the event a change of control of
our company occurs during the term of the consulting agreement. |

Employment
Agreements with Named Executive Officers
The following is a summary of the material employment
arrangements with our current named executive officers.
Termination and change of control rights under these
arrangements are discussed separately below under
“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of
Control.”
Colin
Goddard, Ph.D.

The exercise price was determined by using the market price for
our common stock at the close of business on the grant date. |

(b) |

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements
included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for details as
to the assumptions used to determine the grant date fair value
of stock and option awards. |
26
Equity grants made in 2006 to our executive officers consisted
of awards of nonqualified stock options, or NQSOs, restricted
stock and restricted stock units, or RSUs.
Each NQSO represents the right to purchase one share of our
common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of the
stock determined as of the date of grant. NQSO’s granted in
2006 have a term of seven years and vest in equal annual
installments over a four year vesting schedule. NQSOs terminate
within 90 days of termination of employment for any reason
other than death or retirement. Upon termination of employment
because of death or retirement, the vested portion of any
outstanding NQSO continues to be exercisable for the remainder
of its term.
An award of restricted stock represents the issuance of shares
of our common stock to an executive, subject to certain
conditions on vesting and restrictions on transferability.
Shares of restricted stock issued in 2006 vest in equal annual
installments over a four year vesting schedule. Such shares are
not transferable until vested, and unvested shares will be
forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the
executive for any reason prior to vesting. Shares of restricted
stock, whether vested or unvested, are subject to the same
voting, dividend and tender offer rights as other shares of our
common stock.
Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common
stock as of the date the unit vests. RSUs granted in 2006 vest
in equal annual installments over a four year vesting schedule.
RSUs are not transferable and are forfeited in the event of
termination of employment for any reason prior to vesting. The
recipient of an RSU award has no voting, dividend, tender offer
or other rights of a stockholder with respect to an RSU until
shares of our common stock are issued upon vesting of the RSU.

|
The amounts shown in this column represent the difference
between the option exercise price and the market price on the
date of exercise, which is the amount that would have been
realized if the shares had been sold immediately upon exercise.
These amounts do not necessarily represent actual value realized
from the sale of the shares acquired upon exercise of options
because in many cases the shares are not sold on exercise but
continue to be held by the executive officer exercising the
option. |
|
(b) |
|
The value realized is calculated by multiplying the number of
vested shares times the closing price of our common stock on the
applicable vesting date. |
|
(c) |
|
Reflects the exercise of stock options with an expiration date
of June 20, 2006. |

discussion of the Eyetech restricted shares. |

Potential
Payments Upon Termination or
Change-In-Control
The employment agreements for each of our named executive
officers provide for certain potential payments and other rights
upon the termination of such officer. Dr. Guyer has been
excluded from the discussion below as he resigned from OSI in
May 2006.
Payments Made Upon Termination. Upon a
termination of employment for any reason, each of our named
executive officers is entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid
salary and benefits. Dr. Goddard also receives the pro-rata
bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year
in which the termination occurs.
Payments Made Upon Death or Disability. Upon
their death or permanent disability, Messrs. Atieh, Leung
and Chaney and Dr. Lundemose receive the pro-rata bonus
they would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in
which the termination occurs.
Potential Payments Upon Termination for Good Reason, Without
Cause or Upon a
Change-in-Control. The
employment agreements for each of our named executive officers
contain provisions which provide for severance and other
benefits upon a termination of employment without cause or for
good reason. The employment agreements for Messrs. Atieh,
Leung and Chaney and Dr. Lundemose provide that if the
officer is terminated without cause, or terminates his
employment for good reason, then the officer will be entitled to
receive his accrued but unpaid salary and benefits, a
continuation of health benefits for a period of one year, and a
lump sum equal to (a) one year of base salary and
(b) the pro-rata bonus he would have been entitled to
receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.
Good reason includes a material reduction of duties, titles or
responsibilities, the relocation of OSI’s corporate
headquarters outside of a specified area or a change of control
of OSI. For each named executive officer other than the CEO, a
change of control is generally defined as the sale of all or
substantially all of assets of the company, or a merger or
consolidation where the existing stockholders of the company
cease to hold a majority (40% in the case of Mr. Atieh) of
the voting power of the company. Dr. Lundemose’s
agreement provides that a change of control includes a change of
control of Prosidion.
Dr. Goddard’s employment agreement defines a change of
control as (i) the acquisition of stock by any one person,
entity or group constituting (A) 50% or more of the total
fair market value or total voting power of the company when
combined with the existing stock held by such person, entity or
group or (B) 35% of the voting power of the company when
combined with the stock acquired by such person, entity or group
over the previous 12 months, (ii) the replacement of a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors during any
12 month period with directors whose nomination has not
been endorsed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee or (iii) the acquisition by any one person,
entity or group of assets from the company in any 12 month
period with a gross fair market value equal to at least 40% of
the total gross fair market value of all assets of the company
immediately prior to such acquisition. The employment agreement
for Dr. Goddard also provides that if Dr. Goddard is
terminated without cause, or terminates his employment for good
reason, then he will be entitled to receive his accrued but
unpaid salary and benefits, a continuation of health and
disability benefits for a period of three years, and a lump sum
equal to (a) three years of base salary and (b) the
pro-rata bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the
fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Good reason
includes a material reduction of duties, titles or
responsibilities, the relocation of OSI’s corporate
headquarters outside of a specified area, failure to be
re-elected to the Board of Directors or a
change-in-control
of OSI.
Vesting of Equity Upon a
Change-in-Control. The
employment agreements for each of the named executive officers
provide that upon a
change-in-control
of OSI, all of their outstanding unvested equity grants vest
and/or
become immediately exercisable.

Potential
Payments Upon Termination or
Change-In-Control
The following table sets forth the potential payments and
benefits that our current named executive officers could be
entitled to under their respective employment agreements upon
their termination from our company, assuming a termination date
of December 31, 2006. Dr. Guyer has been omitted from
this table as he resigned from OSI in May 2006.

The amounts reflected in this column represent compensation
expense recorded in the income statement for fiscal year 2006 as
described in SFAS 123(R). Note that the December 2006
changes to the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure
rules provide that compensation to a named executive officer
resulting from stock option grants is determined based upon the
compensation expense that we record in our financial statements
for 2006 with respect to such grants. Under SFAS 123(R), we
recognized compensation expense in 2006 based on the value of
that portion of stock option grant that relates to the services
provided by the grant recipient in 2006. To determine the value
of stock option awards, we use a Black Scholes pricing model to
value stock options at the time of their grant. This model
requires us to estimate the future value of our stock price
based in part on the historic price volatility of our stock.
Given the significant volatility in our stock price, the
volatility factor used to value our stock option grants has
ranged in recent years from 78% in 2004 to 55% in 2006. Higher
volatility factors result in a higher potential future value
assigned to the stock option grants. These values are not
necessarily reflective however of the value that the option
holder may actually realize upon the exercise of the stock
option. For example, the Director Compensation Table reflects a
2006 compensation expense of $733,446 related to the grant of
stock options to Dr. Pinedo in June 2004, with an exercise
price of $82.88. This exercise price is significantly above the
highest sale price reported in 2006 for our common stock on the
Nasdaq Global Select Market of $43.17. |

Annual
and Interim Retainer Fees
Drs. Granner, Lovenberg, Mehta, and Pinedo and
Messrs. Browne, Ingram, White, Niemiec, Klein and Costa and
Ms. Stevenson (comprising our non-employee directors) are
the only current directors who receive an annual retainer fee
for attendance at Board of Directors’ meetings.
Dr. Richmond retired effective January 1, 2007. The
annual retainer fee payable to the members of the Board of
Directors is set forth in the table below.

On March 15, 2006, our Compensation Committee of the Board
also approved an interim retainer fee to cover service by
non-employee directors on the Board (including on any Board
committees) for the interim period from March 16, 2006 to
June 14, 2006. The purpose of such action was to compensate
such board members for service during the interim period between
March 16, 2006 and the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
which service would otherwise not have been compensated as a
result in the change of our fiscal year end in 2005. The
directors also received an annual retainer fee for the period
from the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to the 2007 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders.
Prior to June 14, 2006, 50% of the annual retainer fee
earned by each non-employee director was provided to the
director in the form of a restricted stock award under the terms
of the Stock Purchase Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the
Stock Purchase Plan, or the Plan. The remaining 50% of the
director’s annual retainer was payable in equal monthly
installments in cash, or at the election of the director, in
restricted stock under the Stock Purchase Plan or the Plan. The
restricted stock awards were made as of each annual stockholder
meeting at which the directors were elected to the Board. The
number of shares of the restricted stock awards was based on the
price of the common stock on the date of grant. The annual
restricted stock awards vested in monthly installments over the
one-year term for which the award is made. In the event a
director’s membership on the Board terminated prior to the
end of such term, any unvested portion of the director’s
restricted stock award was forfeited.
On April 19, 2006, the Compensation Committee revised the
policy regarding the annual retainer fee payable to its
non-employee directors, and effective June 14, 2006, each
director receives the annual retainer fee solely in cash. The
amount of the annual retainer fees was left unchanged.
Option
Grants and Restricted Stock Awards
Each non-employee director receives an initial grant of options
under the Plan upon his or her initial election to the Board.
Effective June 14, 2006, each individual who becomes a
director receives an initial option to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock and an award of
8,500 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units
upon his or her initial election to the Board. Future appointees
to the position of Chairman of the Board will receive an
additional option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock
and an additional award of 8,500 shares of restricted stock
or restricted stock units upon his or her initial election as
Chairman.
In addition to initial equity awards, non-employee directors
receive annual equity grants under the Plan. Effective
June 14, 2006, non-employee directors with the exception of
the Chairman of the Board receive an option to purchase
3,000 shares of common stock and an award of
1,500 shares of restricted stock upon each re-election for
a one-year Board term. The Chairman of the Board receives an
option to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock and an
award of 3,000 shares of restricted stock upon re-election
for a one-year Board term.
The stock option awards and restricted stock awards granted to
the directors on June 14, 2006 and July 14, 2006,
respectively, vest annually over four years of the date of
grant. The exercise price of all option awards is equal to 100%
of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The option awards expire on the seventh
anniversary of their respective grant dates, subject to the
earlier expiration upon the occurrence of certain events set
forth under the terms of the Plan.
34
Other
Payments
Dr. Granner was paid $75,000 by Prosidion, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, and received common stock with a fair market value
of $11,109 for services rendered as Chairman of Prosidion’s
Scientific Advisory Board and for consulting services to
Prosidion during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Share
Ownership Requirements
In December 2003, the Compensation Committee approved a policy
requiring directors to increase their ownership of OSI common
stock to a value greater than $150,000 by 2010 for current
directors and within four years of joining the Board for new
directors.
Post-Retirement
Medical Benefits
Prior to March 2007, we provided post-retirement medical and
life insurance benefits to eligible employees and qualified
dependents, and members of our Board of Directors. Eligibility
was based on age and service requirements. These benefits are
subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other
limitations. In March 2007 we terminated this benefit and
grandfathered the directors who were eligible for participation
in the plan at the time of termination (Messrs. Browne and
White and Drs. Mehta, Granner and Lovenberg).
REPORT OF
THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of
Ms. Stevenson, Messrs. Browne and Niemiec and
Dr. Lovenberg. The Audit Committee, or the Committee,
operates pursuant to a charter approved and adopted by the Board
of Directors. The charter is available on our website at
www.osip.com and is included as Appendix A to
this Proxy Statement. As more fully described in the charter,
the primary purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board of
Directors in its oversight of the integrity of our financial
statements and financial reporting process, the system of
internal controls, the audit process, and the performance,
qualification and independence of our independent registered
public accounting firm.
The Committee has prepared the following report on its
activities with respect to our audited consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and
integrity of our financial statements, the maintenance of
appropriate accounting and financial reporting practices and
policies, as well as internal controls and procedures designed
to provide reasonable assurance that we are in compliance with
accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The
independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for
planning and performing an independent audit of our consolidated
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
prescribed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The
independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for
expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited
consolidated financial statements with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, monitors and
reviews these processes, acting in an oversight capacity relying
on the information provided to it and on the representations
made to it by our management, the independent registered public
accounting firm and other advisors.
The Committee held 11 meetings during fiscal 2006,
including meetings with management and our independent
registered public accounting firm, at which our quarterly
financial statements were reviewed in advance of their public
release. Periodically during its meetings, the Audit Committee
met in executive sessions (i.e., without management present)
with representatives of our independent auditor, and also met in
separate executive sessions with the our Chief Financial
Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel.
The Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006. The Committee has also discussed
with KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting
firm, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit
Committees, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 90, Audit Committee Communications.
35
The Committee also received written disclosures from KPMG LLP
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1,
which requires independent registered public accounting firms to
communicate to the Committee, in writing, at least annually, all
relationships between the independent registered public
accounting firm and our company that, in the independent
registered public accounting firm’s professional judgment,
may reasonably be thought to bear on its independence. The
Committee discussed KPMG LLP’s independence with
representatives of KPMG LLP, and the Committee accepted KPMG
LLP’s report on this matter.
Based on the reviews and discussions referenced above, the
Committee recommended to our Board of Directors, and the Board
approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements
referred to above be included in the our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

APPROVAL
OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Board of Directors adopted the Amended and Restated Stock
Incentive Plan to encourage and enable selected directors,
officers, employees and consultants to acquire a proprietary
interest in OSI through the ownership, directly or indirectly,
of our common stock. The Plan, as initially approved by
stockholders, reserved 4,000,000 shares of our common stock
for issuance pursuant to Plan awards. On March 16, 2005,
the stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase
the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan by 2,800,000. As of April 6, 2007,
491,614 shares of common stock having a market value of
$16,891,857 remained available for issuance under future Plan
awards. The Board believes it is in our best interests to
increase the number of shares available under the Plan in order
for us to continue to attract and retain highly qualified
directors, officers, employees and consultants.
Subject to the approval of our stockholders, the Board has
adopted an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of
shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan
by 7,000,000. However, to provide flexibility in structuring
awards under the Plan and to minimize the dilutive effect of the
share increase, under the amendment shares of common stock
issued in connection with full value awards (such as restricted
stock, stock bonuses) will be counted against the total number
of shares reserved as two shares for every one share issued
under the award. Stock option awards or stock appreciation
rights will reduce the number of shares available for issuance
on a
one-for-one
basis. For example, if 100 shares are issued under a full
value award, such as a restricted stock award, the number of
shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan would be
reduced by 200 shares. On the other hand, if
100 shares are issued subject to a stock option, the number
of shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan would
be reduced by 100 shares. A copy of the Plan, as amended,
is included as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement.
The material terms of the Plan are described below.
If the share increase amendment is approved by stockholders, the
Stock Incentive Plan for New Hires, adopted by our Board on
June 14, 2006, will terminate and no further awards will be
granted under that plan. No awards have ever been made under
this plan.
Eligibility and Administration. The
individuals eligible for participation in the Plan are limited
to directors, officers, employees and consultants of OSI or a
parent or subsidiary thereof. The Plan is administered by a
committee appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Currently, this committee is the Compensation Committee. The
committee has the sole authority as to decisions regarding the
Plan, including the authority to select the eligible persons who
will be granted awards under the Plan, the timing and size of
awards granted and other terms and conditions of such awards.
The committee may establish any rules and regulations it deems
necessary to administer the Plan, and all determinations and
actions by the committee will be final and conclusive for all
purposes.
36
As of December 31, 2006, 13 directors, eight executive
officers who were not also directors, approximately 600
employees who were not also executive officers, and 78
consultants were eligible to participate in the Plan.
Terms and Conditions of Plan Awards. The Plan
provides for the issuance of our common stock pursuant to the
following types of Plan awards: (i) incentive stock
options, or ISOs, (ii) non-qualified stock options, or
NSOs, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) stock bonuses and
(v) stock appreciation rights. In general, the terms and
conditions of the different types of awards available under the
Plan are determined by the committee at the time of award
consistent with the terms of the Plan.
Under a stock option award, a participant is granted the right
to purchase a fixed number of shares of our common stock at an
exercise price determined at the time of grant of the stock
option. Under the Plan, the exercise price of a stock option,
may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of our
common stock underlying the stock option determined as of the
date of grant. In general, a stock option will be exercisable as
determined by the committee at the time of grant as specified
under the terms of the stock option. A stock option granted
under the Plan may not have an exercise period exceeding ten
years from the date of grant.
At the time of exercise of a stock option, the participant must
either pay us the full exercise price of the underlying shares
in cash or, upon prior approval and conditions established by
the committee, deliver us shares of our common stock owned by
the participant that have a fair market value equal to the
exercise price of such shares on the date of exercise of the
stock option. In addition, provided the committee in its
discretion consents, a stock option may be exercised on a
“cashless” basis in exchange for the issuance to the
participant of the largest whole number of shares having an
aggregate value equal to the value of such stock option on the
date of exercise.
Under a restricted stock award, a participant will be issued
shares of our common stock that will be subject to certain
conditions on vesting and restrictions on transferability as
determined by the committee at the time of the award. For
example, restricted stock awards may be conditioned on a
participant’s performance of future service with us or
satisfaction of certain performance goals. Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to the terms of the award, a participant will
have voting and dividend rights with respect to awards of
restricted stock.
Under a stock bonus award, a participant will receive a grant of
common stock generally free of restrictions on transferability
and conditions on vesting. As determined by the committee, stock
bonus awards may be used as the form of payment for
discretionary or performance-based bonuses that otherwise would
be payable in cash and may be subject to the satisfaction of
vesting conditions established under the terms of the award,
referred to as a restricted stock unit award.
Under a stock appreciation right, a participant will be awarded
an interest in the appreciated value of the shares of common
stock underlying the award above a base amount for such shares
established by the committee at the time the right is granted,
which amount shall not be less than the fair market value of the
shares as of the date the right is granted. The appreciated
value of the stock subject to an award will be payable to a
participant under the conditions of the award established by the
committee at the time of grant, which may include the
performance of future service or the satisfaction of certain
performance goals. The amount payable under a stock appreciation
right will be paid in shares of common stock, cash or a
combination thereof as determined by the committee at the time
the right is granted.
Adjustment of Shares Subject to Plan. If
stockholders approve the amendment to the Plan described above,
the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan will increase from 6,800,000 to
13,800,000. However, under the amendment, shares of common stock
issued in connection with awards other than stock option or
stock appreciation rights will be counted against the number of
shares reserved under the Plan as two shares for every one share
issued under the award. No individual may be issued awards under
the Plan that exceed the total number of shares reserved under
the Plan, as amended. The number of shares reserved under the
Plan, and the number of shares subject to any outstanding
awards, will be increased or decreased proportionately in the
event of any stock dividends, splits, subdivisions or any other
recapitalizations resulting in a more than five percent increase
or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding
in any plan year. Any shares subject to a stock award that is
cancelled, not exercised or expired may again be subject to a
stock award under the Plan.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The
Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors or the committee
without the approval of the stockholders, provided that no
action will be taken without the approval of
37
the stockholders to increase the aggregate number of shares of
common stock which may be issued or transferred under the Plan,
materially increase the benefits accruing to the recipients
under the Plan or materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participants in the Plan.
Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan
will automatically terminate as of June 12, 2011.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of Plan
Awards. There will be no federal income tax
consequences to either a participant or to us upon the grant of
an option. Upon the exercise of a NSO, a participant will
recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the shares issued under the option on
the date of exercise over the option price. The Corporation
generally will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in
the same amount. No income will be recognized upon the exercise
of an ISO as long as the participant does not dispose of the
shares issued under the ISO within two years from the date the
ISO was granted or within one year from the date the shares were
transferred to the recipient, or the holding period requirement.
Upon a sale of the shares after the holding period requirement
is satisfied, the participant will recognize capital gain (or
loss) measured by the excess (or deficit) of the amount realized
from such sale over the option price of such shares, but no
deduction will be allowed to us. If a participant disposes of
shares issued under an ISO before the holding period requirement
is satisfied, the participant will recognize ordinary income in
the year of disposition in an amount equal to the lesser of
(a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise over the option price of the shares or
(b) the excess of the amount realized from such disposition
over the option price of the shares. Where shares are sold
before the holding period requirement is satisfied, the
participant will also recognize a capital gain to the extent
that the amount realized from the disposition of the shares
exceeded the fair market value of the shares on the date of
exercise. We will be entitled to a deduction in the amount of
the ordinary income recognized by the participant who disposes
of shares before the end of the required holding period.
Restricted stock awards granted under the Plan will be taxable
to a participant under the rules of Section 83 of the
Internal Revenue Code. In general, under Section 83, the
fair market value of the restricted stock award will be included
in the participant’s taxable income and taxed at ordinary
income tax rates at the time the restricted stock award is no
longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or
restriction on transferability. In general, the fair market
value of stock paid to a participant pursuant to a stock bonus
award, including upon vesting of a restricted stock unit award,
will be included in the participant’s taxable income and
taxed at ordinary income tax rates at the time the stock is paid
to the participant. Similarly, the value of amounts paid to a
participant under a stock appreciation right, whether in the
form of cash or stock, will be included in the
participant’s taxable income and taxed at ordinary income
tax rates at the time of payment. We will be entitled to a
deduction at the times and in the amounts that participants
recognize ordinary income under a restricted stock award, a
stock bonus award or a stock appreciation right.
The foregoing discussion of the federal tax consequences
of awards issued under the Plan is a summary of current tax law
and is not intended to provide tax advice

In connection with the acquisition of certain oncology assets
from Gilead on December 21, 2001, we adopted a
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Former Employees of Gilead
Sciences, Inc. We granted ten-year options to purchase an
aggregate of 693,582 shares of our common stock at a
purchase price of $45.01 per share, which represented the
fair value of our stock at the date granted. With respect to
each option grant, one-third of the options vest on the first
anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vests ratably
monthly thereafter for 24 months. |
|
|
|
In connection with the acquisition of Cadus, we adopted a
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Former Employees of Cadus
Pharmaceutical Corporation. We granted ten-year options to
purchase an aggregate of 415,000 shares of our common stock
at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, which represented
the fair value of our stock at the date granted. These options
became exercisable on July 30, 2000, one year from the date
of the grant. |
|
|
|
In connection with the acquisition of Eyetech, we adopted a
Stock Incentive Plan for Pre-Merger Employees of Eyetech
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We granted seven-year options to purchase
an aggregate of 625,810 shares of our common stock at a
purchase price of $23.83, which represents the fair value of our
stock at the date granted. With respect to each option grant,
one-fourth of the options vest on the first anniversary and the
remainder vest ratably monthly thereafter for 36 months. |
|
|
|
Also in connection with the acquisition of Eyetech, we assumed
Eyetech’s 2001 Stock Plan and to facilitate such
assumption, we adopted the Stock Plan for Assumed Options of
Pre-Merger Employees of Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The number
of shares subject to each assumed option was determined by
dividing the assumed Eyetech per share option exercise price by
the conversion ratio of 0.491 and rounding that result down to
the nearest whole number for a total of 153,290 shares. The
exercise price was determined by dividing the assumed Eyetech
per share option exercise price by the conversion ratio of 0.491
and rounding up to the nearest whole cent. |

Includes options established for certain outside consultants
related to clinical trial operations. |

Consists of 449,682 shares reserved for issuance under the

Plan, 1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, and
the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. |

|
On June 14, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the OSI
Stock Incentive Plan for New Hires. We adopted this plan to
provide incentive equity grants to induce qualified individuals
to accept employment with our company. At December 31,
2006, 850,000 shares of common stock were authorized and
available for grant under the plan. The Stock Incentive Plan for
New Hires will terminate if the proposal described above is
approved by stockholders. |
The Board of Directors deems the above proposal to be in our
best interests and recommends a vote “FOR” the
amendment to the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan.
RATIFICATION
OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has
audited our consolidated financial statements for over
20 years and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
desires to continue the services of this firm. The Audit
Committee has appointed KPMG LLP to serve as the independent
registered public
39
accounting firm to conduct an audit of our consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007.
Appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm
is not required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders
for ratification. However, the Audit Committee has recommended
that the Board of Directors submit this matter to the
stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the
stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee
will reconsider whether to retain KPMG LLP, and may retain that
firm or another without resubmitting the matter to our
stockholders. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit
Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a
different independent registered public accounting firm at any
time during the year if it determines that such a change would
be in our best interests and the best interests of our
stockholders.
Audit and
Non-Audit Fees
The following table presents fees for professional audit
services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our annual
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the three-month transition

Audit fees related to services rendered in connection with the
annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, the
quarterly reviews of consolidated financial statements included
in our quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q,
the UK statutory audits, and the reviews of and other services
related to registration statements and other offering memoranda.
All of the work was performed by the full-time, permanent
employees of KPMG LLP.
Audit-related fees consisted primarily of fees for audits of the
financial statements of our employee benefit plans and due
diligence assistance.
Tax fees consisted of tax compliance/preparation and other tax
services. Tax compliance/preparation consisted of fees billed
for professional services related to federal, state, local and
international tax compliance. Other tax services consisted of
fees billed for other tax consulting including consulting with
respect to a merger transaction as well as international tax
matters.
All other fees consisted primarily of miscellaneous services. No
portion of these fees related to financial information or
operational system design or implementation services.
On an ongoing basis, management communicates to the Audit
Committee specific projects and categories of services for which
advance approval of the Audit Committee is required. The Audit
Committee reviews these requests and advises management and the
independent registered public accounting firm if the Audit
Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered
public accounting firm for such projects and services. On a
periodic basis, the independent registered public accounting
firm reports to the Audit Committee the actual spending for such
projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The
Audit Committee may delegate the ability to pre-approve audit
and permitted non-audit services to a
sub-committee
of the Audit Committee, provided that any such pre-approvals are
reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.
40
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of all
other services by KPMG LLP is compatible with maintaining KPMG
LLP’s independence and concluded that KPMG LLP is
independent based on information provided by KPMG LLP.
Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be available at the
meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will be given
the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” such
the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the
independent registered public accounting firm for OSI.
SECTION 16(a)
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, requires our officers and directors, and persons who
own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than
10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of such forms received by us, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no
Forms 5 were required for such persons, we believe that,
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, all filing
requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater
than 10 percent beneficial owners were complied with.
STOCKHOLDER
PROPOSALS
Stockholders who intend to submit proposals to be included in
our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
held in 2008 must submit their proposals to the Secretary at OSI
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 41 Pinelawn Road, Melville, New York

OSI
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AMENDED
AND RESTATED
STOCK
INCENTIVE PLAN
(Including Amendments No. 1, 2, and 3)
The purpose of this Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan
(formerly, the 2001 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan) (the “Plan”) is to encourage and enable selected
management, other employees, directors (whether or not
employees), and consultants of OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
“Company”) or a parent or subsidiary of the Company to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the
ownership, directly or indirectly, of common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the
Company. Such ownership will provide such employees, directors,
and consultants with a more direct stake in the future welfare
of the Company and encourage them to remain with the Company or
a parent or subsidiary of the Company. It is also expected that
the Plan will encourage qualified persons to seek and accept
employment with, or become associated with, the Company or a
parent or subsidiary of the Company. As used herein, the term
“parent” or “subsidiary” shall mean any
present or future corporation which is or would be a
“parent corporation” or “subsidiary
corporation” of the Company as the term is defined in
Section 424 of the Code (determined as if the Company were
the employer corporation).
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant: (i) Incentive
Stock Options; (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options;
(iii) Stock Appreciation Rights; (iv) Restricted
Stock; and (v) Stock Bonuses, as such terms are defined in
Section 2.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Plan shall have
the following meanings:
(a) “Award Agreement” shall mean a written
agreement, in such form as the Committee shall determine, that
evidences the terms and conditions of a Stock Award granted
under the Plan.
(b) “Fair Market Value” on a specified
date means the value of a share of Common Stock, determined as
follows:
(i) if the Common Stock is listed on any established stock
exchange or a national market system, including without
limitation, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global
Market, or The Nasdaq Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc., its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for
such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as
quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination,
as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as
the Committee deems reliable;
(ii) if the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a
recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not
reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the
high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of
determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such
other source as the Committee deems reliable; or
(iii) in the absence of an established market for the
Common Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good
faith by the Committee.
(c) “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
(d) “Incentive Stock Option” shall mean an
option that is an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code and that is identified
as an Incentive Stock Option in the Award Agreement by which it
is evidenced.
C-1
(e) “Non-Qualified Stock Option” shall
mean an option that is not an Incentive Stock Option within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
(f) “Restricted Stock” shall mean an award
of shares of Common Stock that is subject to certain conditions
on vesting and restrictions on transferability as provided in
Section 8 of this Plan.
(g) “Stock Appreciation Right” shall mean
a right to receive payment of the appreciated value of shares of
Common Stock as provided in Section 7 of this Plan.
(h) “Stock Award” shall mean an Incentive
Stock Option, a Non-Qualified Stock Option, a Restricted Stock
award, a Stock Appreciation Right or a Stock Bonus award.
(i) “Stock Bonus” shall mean a bonus award
payable in shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 9
of this Plan.

|
Administration
of the Plan
|
The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the
“Committee”) as appointed from time to time by the
Board of Directors of the Company, which may be the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no person, other than members of
the Committee, shall have any discretion as to decisions
regarding the Plan. The Company may engage a third party to
administer routine matters under the Plan, such as establishing
and maintaining accounts for Plan participants and facilitating
transactions by participants pursuant to the Plan.
In administering the Plan, the Committee may adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the Plan. The interpretations and
decisions made by the Committee with regard to any question
arising under the Plan shall be final and conclusive on all
persons participating or eligible to participate in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
determine the terms of all Stock Awards granted pursuant to the
Plan, including, but not limited to, the persons to whom, and
the time or times at which, grants shall be made, the number of
shares to be covered by each Stock Award, and other terms and
conditions of the Stock Award.

|
Shares of
Stock Subject to the Plan
|
Except as provided in Section 10, the number of shares that
may be issued or transferred pursuant to Stock Awards granted
under the Plan shall not exceed 13,800,000 shares of Common
Stock; provided, however, that any shares issued under an
Award granted on or after June 13, 2007 other than an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall count against the
maximum number of shares reserved hereunder as two shares for
every one share issued in connection with such Award. Shares
reserved hereunder may be authorized and unissued shares or
previously issued shares acquired or to be acquired by the
Company and held in treasury. Any shares subject to a Stock
Award which for any reason expires, is cancelled or is
unexercised may again be subject to a Stock Award under the
Plan. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares with respect
to which Incentive Stock Options (determined at the time of
grant of the option) are exercisable for the first time by an
optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all plans
of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company)
shall not exceed $100,000.
Stock Awards may be granted to directors, officers, employees
and consultants of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the
Company, except that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted
to any such person who is not an employee of the Company or a
parent or subsidiary of the Company.
The Committee may grant options to such persons eligible under
the Plan as the Committee may select from time to time. Such
options shall be granted at such times, in such amounts and upon
such other terms and conditions
C-2
as the Committee shall determine, which shall be evidenced under
an Award Agreement and subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) Type of Option. The Award Agreement
shall indicate whether and to what extent the option is intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(b) Option Price. The purchase price
under each Incentive Stock Option and each Non-Qualified Stock
Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock at the time the option is granted and not less
than the par value of the Common Stock. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee owning, actually
or constructively under Section 424(d) of the Code, more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the
Company (a “10% Stockholder”) the option price shall
not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock at the time of the grant.
(c) Medium and Time of Payment. Stock
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an option shall at the
time of purchase be paid for in full in cash, or, upon
conditions established by the Committee, by delivery of shares
of Common Stock owned by the recipient. If payment is made by
the delivery of shares, the value of the shares delivered shall
be the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise
of the option. In addition, if the Committee consents in its
sole discretion, an “in the money” Non-Qualified Stock
Option may be exercised on a “cashless” basis in
exchange for the issuance to the optionee (or other person
entitled to exercise the option) of the largest whole number of
shares having an aggregate value equal to the value of such
option on the date of exercise. For this purpose, the value of
the shares delivered by the Company and the value of the option
being exercised shall be determined based on the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the option.
Upon receipt of payment and such documentation as the Company
may deem necessary to establish compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the
Company shall, without stock transfer tax to the optionee or
other person entitled to exercise the option, deliver to the
person exercising the option a certificate or certificates for
such shares.
(d) Waiting Period. The waiting period
and time for exercising an option shall be prescribed by the
Committee in each particular case; provided, however, that no
option may be exercised after 10 years from the date it is
granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a
10% Stockholder, such option, by its terms, shall be exercisable
only within five years from the date of grant.
(e) Non-Assignability of Options. No
Incentive Stock Option and, except as may otherwise be
specifically provided by the Committee, no Non-Qualified Stock
Option, shall be assignable or transferable by the recipient
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During the lifetime of a recipient, Incentive Stock Options and,
except as may otherwise be specifically provided by the
Committee, Non-Qualified Stock Options, shall be exercisable
only by such recipient. If the Committee approves provisions in
any particular case allowing for assignment or transfer of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, then such option will nonetheless be
subject to a six-month holding period commencing on the date of
grant during which period the recipient will not be permitted to
assign or transfer such option, unless the Committee further
specifically provides for the assignability or transferability
of such option during this period.
(f) Effect of Termination of
Employment. If a recipient’s employment (or
service as an officer, director or consultant) shall terminate
for any reason, other than death or Retirement (as defined
below), the right of the recipient to exercise any option
otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination shall
expire unless such right is exercised within a period of
90 days after the date of such termination. For Options
issued prior to June 15, 2005, the term
“Retirement” shall mean the voluntary termination of
employment (or service as an officer, director or consultant) by
a recipient who has attained the age of 55 and who has completed
at least five years of service with the Company. For Options
issued on or after June 15, 2005, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee and defined in the applicable Award
Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall mean the
voluntary termination of employment (or service as an officer,
director or consultant) by a recipient who has attained the age
of 60 and who has completed at least twenty years of service
with the Company. If a recipient’s employment (or service
as an officer, director or consultant) shall terminate because
of death or Retirement, the right of the recipient to exercise
any option otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination
shall be unaffected by such termination and shall continue until
the normal expiration of such option. Notwithstanding
C-3
the foregoing, the tax treatment available pursuant to
Section 421 of the Code upon the exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option will not be available in connection with the
exercise of any Incentive Stock Option more than three months
after the date of termination of such option recipient’s
employment due to Retirement. Option rights shall not be
affected by any change of employment as long as the recipient
continues to be employed by either the Company or a parent or
subsidiary of the Company. In no event, however, shall an option
be exercisable after the expiration of its original term as
determined by the Committee. The Committee may, if it determines
that to do so would be in the Company’s best interests,
provide in a specific case or cases for the exercise of options
which would otherwise terminate upon termination of employment
with the Company for any reason, upon such terms and conditions
as the Committee determines to be appropriate. Nothing in the
Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer any right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company or interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company to
terminate the employment of a recipient at any time.
(g) Leave of Absence. In the case of a
recipient on an approved leave of absence, the Committee may, if
it determines that to do so would be in the best interests of
the Company, provide in a specific case for continuation of
options during such leave of absence, such continuation to be on
such terms and conditions as the Committee determines to be
appropriate, except that in no event shall an option be
exercisable after 10 years from the date it is granted.
(h) Sale or Reorganization. In case the
Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation, or
in case the property or stock of the Company is acquired by
another corporation, or in case of a reorganization, or
liquidation of the Company, the Board of Directors of the
Company, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming
the obligations of the Company hereunder, shall either
(i) make appropriate provisions for the protection of any
outstanding options by the substitution on an equitable basis of
appropriate stock of the Company, or appropriate options to
purchase stock of the merged, consolidated, or otherwise
reorganized corporation, provided only that such substitution of
options shall, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, comply
with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code, or
(ii) give written notice to optionees that their options,
which will become immediately exercisable notwithstanding any
waiting period otherwise prescribed by the Committee, must be
exercised within 30 days of the date of such notice or they
will be terminated.
(i) Restrictions on Sale of
Shares. Without the written consent of the
Company, no stock acquired by an optionee upon exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder may be disposed of by
the optionee within two years from the date such incentive stock
option was granted, nor within one year after the transfer of
such stock to the optionee; provided, however, that a transfer
to a trustee, receiver, or other fiduciary in any insolvency
proceeding, as described in Section 422(c)(3) of the Code,
shall not be deemed to be such a disposition. The optionee shall
make appropriate arrangements with the Company for any taxes
which the Company is obligated to collect in connection with any
such disposition, including any federal, state, or local
withholding taxes. No stock acquired by an optionee upon
exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option granted hereunder may
be disposed of by the optionee (or other person eligible to
exercise the option) within six months from the date such
Non-Qualified Stock Option was granted, unless otherwise
provided by the Committee.

Grant of
Stock Appreciation Rights
|
The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to such
persons eligible under the Plan as the Committee may select from
time to time. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted at such
times, in such amounts and under such other terms and conditions
as the Committee shall determine, which terms and conditions
shall be evidenced under an Award Agreement, subject to the
terms of the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Award Agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the
award recipient to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right, in
whole or in part, in exchange for a payment of shares of Common
Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the
Committee and provided under the Award Agreement, equal in value
to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Stock Appreciation Right, determined on the
date of exercise, over the base amount set forth in the Award
Agreement for shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock
C-4
Appreciation Right, which base amount shall not be less than the
Fair Market Value of such Common Stock, determined as of the
date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.
|
|
8.
|
Grant of
Restricted Stock
|
The Committee may grant Restricted Stock awards to such persons
eligible under the Plan as the Committee may select from time to
time. Restricted Stock awards shall be granted at such times, in
such amounts and under such other terms and conditions as the
Committee shall determine, which terms and conditions shall be
evidenced under an Award Agreement, subject to the terms of the
Plan. The Award Agreement shall set forth any conditions on
vesting and restrictions on transferability that the Committee
may determine is appropriate for the Restricted Stock award,
including the performance of future services or satisfaction of
performance goals established by the Committee. The books and
records of the Company shall reflect the issuance of shares of
Common Stock under a Restricted Stock award and any applicable
restrictions and limitations in such manner as the Committee
determines is appropriate. Unless otherwise provided in the
Award Agreement, a recipient of a Restricted Stock award shall
be the record owner of the shares of Common Stock to which the
Restricted Stock relates and shall have all voting and dividend
rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock.
The Committee may grant Stock Bonus awards to such persons
eligible under the Plan as the Committee may select from time to
time. Stock Bonus awards shall be granted at such times, in such
amounts and under such other terms and conditions as the
Committee shall determine, which terms and conditions shall be
evidenced under an Award Agreement, subject to the terms of the
Plan. Upon satisfaction of any conditions, limitations and
restrictions set forth in the Award Agreement, a Stock Bonus
award shall entitle the recipient to receive payment of a bonus
described under the Stock Bonus award in the form of shares of
Common Stock of the Company. Prior to the date on which a Stock
Bonus award is required to be paid under an Award Agreement, the
Stock Bonus award shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured
promise by the Company to distribute Common Stock in the future.

Adjustments
in the Event of Recapitalization
|
In the event that dividends payable in Common Stock during any
fiscal year of the Company exceed in the aggregate five percent
of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at the beginning of
the year, or in the event there is during any fiscal year of the
Company one or more splits, subdivisions, or combinations of
shares of Common Stock resulting in an increase or decrease by
more than five percent of the shares outstanding at the
beginning of the year, the number of shares available under the
Plan shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as the
case may be, and the number of shares issuable under Stock
Awards theretofore granted shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, as the case may be, without change in the
aggregate purchase price that may be applicable thereto. Common
Stock dividends, splits, subdivisions, or combinations during
any fiscal year that do not exceed in the aggregate five percent
of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at the beginning of
such year shall be ignored for purposes of the Plan. All
adjustments shall be made as of the day such action
necessitating such adjustment becomes effective.
|
|
11.
|
Withholding
of Applicable Taxes
|
It shall be a condition to the performance of the Company’s
obligation to issue or transfer Common Stock or make a payment
of cash pursuant to any Stock Award that the award recipient
pay, or make provision satisfactory to the Company for the
payment of, any taxes (other than stock transfer taxes) the
Company or any subsidiary is obligated to collect with respect
to the issuance or transfer of Common Stock or the payment of
cash under such Stock Award, including any applicable federal,
state, or local withholding or employment taxes.
Each Stock Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the
requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or
qualification of the shares of Common Stock issuable or
transferable under the Stock Award upon any securities exchange
or under any state or federal law,
C-5
or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the granting of the Stock Award or the issue or transfer,
of shares of Common Stock thereunder, shares of Common Stock
issuable or transferable under any Stock Award shall not be
issued or transferred, in whole or in part, unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have
been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable
to the Board of Directors.
The Company shall not be obligated to sell or issue any shares
of Common Stock in any manner in contravention of the Securities
Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities law,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or the rules
and regulations of any securities exchange or over the counter
market on which the Common Stock is listed or in which it is
included for quotation. The Board of Directors may, in
connection with the granting of Stock Awards, require the
individual to whom the award is to be granted to enter into an
agreement with the Company stating that as a condition precedent
to the receipt of shares of Common Stock issuable or
transferable under the Stock Award, in whole or in part, he
shall, if then required by the Company, represent to the Company
in writing that such receipt is for investment only and not with
a view to distribution, and also setting forth such other terms
and conditions as the Committee may prescribe. Such agreements
may also, in the discretion of the Committee, contain provisions
requiring the forfeiture of any Stock Awards granted
and/or
Common Stock held, in the event of the termination of employment
or association, as the case may be, of the award recipient with
the Company. Upon any forfeiture of Common Stock pursuant to an
agreement authorized by the preceding sentence, the Company
shall pay consideration for such Common Stock to the award
recipient , pursuant to any such agreement, without interest
thereon.
|
|
13.
|
Termination
and Amendment of the Plan
|
The Board of Directors or the Committee shall have the right to
amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time; provided,
however, that no such action shall affect or in any way impair
the rights of a recipient under any Stock Award theretofore
granted under the Plan; and, provided, further, that unless
first duly approved by the stockholders of the Company entitled
to vote thereon at a meeting (which may be the annual meeting)
duly called and held for such purpose, except as provided in
Section 10, no amendment or change shall be made in the
Plan increasing the total number of shares which may be issued
or transferred under the Plan, materially increasing the
benefits to Plan participants or modifying the requirements as
to eligibility for participation in the Plan.
The Plan shall terminate on June 12, 2011, or on such
earlier date as the Board of Directors or the Committee may
determine. Any Stock Award outstanding at the termination date
shall remain outstanding until it has either expired or been
exercised or cancelled pursuant to its terms.
15. Compliance
with
Rule 16b-3
With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to
comply with all applicable conditions of
Rule 16b-3
or its successors. To the extent any provision of the Plan or
action by the Committee (or any other person on behalf of the
Committee or the Company) fails to so comply, it shall be deemed
null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee.

|
Rights as
a Stockholder
|
A recipient of a Stock Award shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any shares issuable or transferable
thereunder until the date a stock certificate is issued to him
for such shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement

Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such stock
certificate is issued.

Options
Granted to Employees and Directors of any Subsidiary in the
UK
|
In addition to the provisions above, the provisions of this
Section 17 shall apply as herein set out to options granted
to employees and directors of any subsidiary in the United
Kingdom. The provisions of this Section 17 enable the Plan
to be used in a tax efficient manner in the United Kingdom.
(a) In this Section 17, the following terms have the
meanings ascribed to them:
“Election” means an election in the form
envisaged in Paragraph 3B(1) of Schedule 1 to SSCBA
and acceptable to the UK Subsidiary to the effect that any
Secondary NIC arising on the exercise, assignment or release of
a UK Option shall be the liability of the recipient and not the
liability of the UK Subsidiary
“Independent Transfer Agent” means any person
(other than the Company or any company affiliated with the
Company or any individual affiliated with any such company) who
is registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission and who is thereby able to sell and
transfer shares in the Company on behalf of the Optionholder
“Optionholder” means an employee or director of
the UK Subsidiary who is the holder of a UK Option
“Secondary NIC” means secondary national
insurance contributions as defined in the SSCBA
“SSCBA” means the Social Security Contributions
and Benefits Act 1992 of the United Kingdom
“UK Option” means an option granted to an
employee of the UK Subsidiary
“UK Subsidiary” means OSI Pharmaceuticals (UK)
Limited (a company incorporated in England under company number
1709877) and any other UK Subsidiary of the Company from
time to time.
(b) To the extent that it is lawful to do so, a UK Option
may be granted subject to a condition that any liability of the
UK Subsidiary (as employer or former employer of the relevant
Optionholder) to pay Secondary NIC in respect of the exercise,
assignment or release of that UK Option shall be the liability
of the relevant Optionholder and payable by that Optionholder
and that the Optionholder shall not be entitled to exercise the
UK Option until he has entered into an Election to that effect
when required to do so by the UK Subsidiary provided that the
Committee may in its discretion at any time or times release the
Optionholder from this liability or reduce his liability
thereunder unless that Election has been entered into between
the UK Subsidiary and that Optionholder and that
Election (or the legislation which provides for such an
Election to be effective) does not allow for such an Election to
be subsequently varied.
(c) If a UK Option is granted subject to the condition
referred to in paragraph (b) above then the
Optionholder shall by completing the Election grant to the UK
Subsidiary (as employer or former employer of the relevant
Optionholder) the irrevocable authority, as agent of the
Optionholder and on his behalf, to appoint an Independent
Transfer Agent, to act as agent of the Optionholder and on his
behalf, to sell or procure the sale of sufficient of the Stock
subject to the UK Option and remit the net sale proceeds to the
UK Subsidiary so that the net proceeds payable to the UK
Subsidiary are so far as possible equal to but not less than the
amount of the Secondary NIC for which the Optionholder is liable
under the terms of the Election and the UK Subsidiary shall
account to the Optionholder for any balance.
No Stock shall be allotted or transferred to the Optionholder by
the Company until the UK Subsidiary has received an amount in
cash equal to the amount of the Secondary NIC for which the
Optionholder is liable under the terms of the Election.
(d) If a UK Option is exercised and the Optionholder is
liable to tax duties or other amounts on such exercise and the
UK Subsidiary (as his employer or former employer) is liable to
make a payment to the appropriate authorities on account of that
liability, then the Optionholder shall by having completed the
option agreement grant to the UK Subsidiary (as employer or
former employer of the relevant Optionholder) the irrevocable
authority, as agent of the Optionholder and on his behalf, to
