(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), including its Named Executive Officers, Craig Fraser, President and Chief Executive Officer, John Tattory, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Steven G. Simonson, M.D., its Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, entered into amendments (individually, the &ldquo;Amendment,&rdquo; and collectively, the &ldquo;Amendments&rdquo;) to their executive employment agreements dated February 1, 2016, March 21, 2014, and December 19, 2014, respectively (the &ldquo;Executive Agreements&rdquo;).</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The <font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">Amendments incorporate and restate amendments (&ldquo;the SPA Amendments&rdquo;) that were previously finalized in connection with that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated October 27, 2017 between the Company and LPH Investments Limited (&ldquo;Share Purchase Agreement&rdquo;). The Share Purchase Agreement, including the SPA Amendments, were previously filed with a Company Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2017, and provide that, in lieu of the Annual Bonuses (as defined in the Executive Agreements) that would have been payable to the executives during the 24 month period following the closing, the executives are entitled to an award of equity under the Company&rsquo;s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, having a value when issued equal to the combined total value of the 2017 and 2018 Target Bonus Amounts (as defined in each Executive Agreement) and vesting in two equal installments on March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2019. In addition, the Amendments change the initial vesting date of such equity awards from March 15, 2018 to August 1, 2018 and provide that, in the event an Executive Agreement is terminated for a reason other than Cause (as defined in the Executive Agreements), the vesting of the equity award that otherwise would have vested on August 1, 2018 will accelerate and become immediately vested. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">In addition<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, the Amendment to Mr. Fraser&rsquo;s Executive Agreement also corrects an error in the form of his Executive Agreement by adjusting the benefits continuation period solely in the event of termination of employment related to a Change of Control (as defined in his Executive Agreement) from 12 months to 18 months. The Amendments to Mr. Tattory&rsquo;s and Dr. Simonson&rsquo;s Executive Agreements also incorporate certain amendments intended to conform their Executive Agreements in some respects to Mr. Fraser&rsquo;s, including, among other things, to (i) provide that the Term of the Agreement shall extend until otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7 of the Executive Agreements, and (ii)&nbsp;provide that a termination of Employment will not be deemed to be for Good Reason unless Executive gives Notice of Termination within 30 days after Executive has actual knowledge of the act or omission of the Company constituting Good Reason. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Executive Agreements.</font></p>

On March 13, 2018,
the senior officers of Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company"), including its Named Executive Officers, Craig Fraser, President and Chief Executive Officer, John Tattory, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Steven G. Simonson, M.D., its Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, entered into amendments (individually, the "Amendment," and collectively, the "Amendments") to their executive employment agreements dated February 1, 2016, March 21, 2014, and December 19, 2014, respectively (the "Executive Agreements").
The
Amendments incorporate and restate amendments ("the SPA Amendments") that were previously finalized in connection with that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated October 27, 2017 between the Company and LPH Investments Limited ("Share Purchase Agreement"). The Share Purchase Agreement, including the SPA Amendments, were previously filed with a Company Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2017, and provide that, in lieu of the Annual Bonuses (as defined in the Executive Agreements) that would have been payable to the executives during the 24 month period following the closing, the executives are entitled to an award of equity under the Company's 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, having a value when issued equal to the combined total value of the 2017 and 2018 Target Bonus Amounts (as defined in each Executive Agreement) and vesting in two equal installments on March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2019. In addition, the Amendments change the initial vesting date of such equity awards from March 15, 2018 to August 1, 2018 and provide that, in the event an Executive Agreement is terminated for a reason other than Cause (as defined in the Executive Agreements), the vesting of the equity award that otherwise would have vested on August 1, 2018 will accelerate and become immediately vested.
In addition
, the Amendment to Mr. Fraser's Executive Agreement also corrects an error in the form of his Executive Agreement by adjusting the benefits continuation period solely in the event of termination of employment related to a Change of Control (as defined in his Executive Agreement) from 12 months to 18 months. The Amendments to Mr. Tattory's and Dr. Simonson's Executive Agreements also incorporate certain amendments intended to conform their Executive Agreements in some respects to Mr. Fraser's, including, among other things, to (i) provide that the Term of the Agreement shall extend until otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7 of the Executive Agreements, and (ii) provide that a termination of Employment will not be deemed to be for Good Reason unless Executive gives Notice of Termination within 30 days after Executive has actual knowledge of the act or omission of the Company constituting Good Reason. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Executive Agreements.
The forms of Amendment for
each Mr. Fraser's, Mr. Tattory's and Dr. Simonson's Executive Agreements are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
