Approval of the Annual Bonus Plan

On August 10, 2007, the Board of Directors of Genelabs Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), approved an Annual Bonus Plan (the "Plan"), which provides for cash bonuses to employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries that meet certain performance goals as will be established in the future by the compensation committee of the Company (the "Committee"). Pursuant to the Plan, for each calendar year, or other performance period as designated by the Committee, the Committee shall establish in writing, one or more performance goals, a specific target objective or objectives with respect to such performance goals and an objective formula or method for computing the amount of bonus compensation payable to each participant under the Plan if and to the extent that the performance goals are attained. Performance goals shall be based on certain objectives of the Company as a whole or any of its subsidiaries, operating divisions or other operating units set by the Committee, including, but not limited to: budget and finance, business development and commercial operations, development, or research objectives. In addition, performance goals may be based upon a participant's attainment of specific objectives set for that participant's performance by the Company. The Committee, after the end of each performance period, shall approve the aggregate bonus pool payable to eligible participants and in its sole discretion increase, decrease or eliminate the amount of any participant's bonus as it deems appropriate in order to reflect the participant's performance or unanticipated factors.

 

The foregoing summary of the Plan is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Annual Bonus Plan attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
