On October 3, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Immunome, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved the Company’s 2024 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) to reserve 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be used exclusively for grants of equity awards to individuals that were not previously employees or directors of the Company (or who are returning to employment following a bona fide period of non-employment), as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The Inducement Plan was adopted and approved without stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). In addition, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted and approved forms of Stock Option Grant Notice, Option Agreement and Notice of Exercise for use with the Inducement Plan. The terms and conditions of the Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the Company’s stockholder-approved 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
A complete copy of the Inducement Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The above summary of the Inducement Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
