On May 30, 2024, at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the shareholders of CRISPR Therapeutics AG (the "Company") approved the amendment (the "Plan Amendment") to the CRISPR Therapeutics AG 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") to increase the number of common shares, par value CHF 0.03 per share ("Common Shares") reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 1,000,000 Common Shares and to increase the number of shares that may be issued in the form of incentive stock options by 1,000,000 Common Shares. The Plan Amendment previously had been approved, subject to shareholder approval, by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company's officers and directors are among the persons eligible to receive awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereunder. A detailed summary of the 2018 Plan and the Plan Amendment is set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2024 (the "Proxy Statement") under the caption "Proposal 9: Approval of Amendment to the CRISPR Therapeutics AG 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan", which summary is incorporated herein by reference.
