Grant of Restricted Stock Units
​
As disclosed on August 10, 2020, Verastem, Inc. (the "Company")
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Secura Bio, Inc. pursuant to which the Company will divest its rights, title and interest in and to COPIKTRA (duvelisib) ("COPIKTRA").
The Company's sale of COPIKTRA follows the Company's previously announced strategic direction to focus on maximizing the broad potential of its RAF/MEK inhibitor (VS-6766) and FAK inhibitor (defactinib) program in KRAS mutant (KRASmt) solid tumors.
​
As part of this repositioning of the Company's strategic direction, on August 11, 2020
the Company's Board of Directors authorized incentive awards to the Company's employees, including
the following equity awards to executive officers of the Company: (i) 419,581 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to Brian M. Stuglik, Chief Executive Officer, (ii) 321,679 RSUs to Daniel Paterson, President and Chief Operating Officer, and (iii) 290,210 RSUs to Robert Gagnon, Chief Business and Financial Officer. Each of the RSUs granted to the Company's executive officers were granted effective as of August 11, 2020 and made pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting of the RSU. The RSUs that were granted to the Company's executive officers vest as to 50% on December 31, 2020 and the remaining 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
​
The foregoing summary of the RSUs is not a complete description of all of the terms and conditions of the awards and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement under the Incentive Plan, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.2 to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2020.
