Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Approval of Bonus Plan
 
On September 4, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Targeted Genetics Corporation (the “Company”) approved the final bonus plan (the “Plan”) for fiscal year 2008, which is applicable to members of senior management, including each of the Company’s named executive officers (“Senior Management”).
 
The target bonus payout for (i) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is 35% of base salary, (ii) the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer is 25% of base salary, (iii) the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is 20% of base salary and (iv) the Company’s other Vice Presidents is 20% of base salary. In addition, the target bonuses may be multiplied by a factor of 0% to 200% depending on the Committee’s assessment of Senior Management’s performance. The Committee’s assessment will be guided by the staff bonus plan for 50% of the award and the Company successfully completing a “transformative event” for 50% of the award. The staff bonus plan provides for awards upon achieving strategic and operational goals that relate generally to factors such as furtherance of key strategic relationships, development of product candidates and extending the Company’s cash horizon. The Committee, however, may make any bonus awards in its discretion following review of the performance of Senior Management after completion of the fiscal year regardless of the foregoing principles.
