As previously reported in March 2017, the Compensation Committee and the independent members of Intrexon Corporation’s (“Intrexon”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the continuation of Randal J. Kirk’s compensation arrangement through March 31, 2018, pursuant to which he receives as compensation a payment of $200,000 per month in fully-vested shares of Intrexon Common Stock pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2017, by and between Intrexon and Mr. Kirk (the “RSU Agreement”). The RSU Agreement, which is further described in Intrexon’s proxy statement for the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, had a term of twelve months and expires on March 31, 2018.

In connection with the expiration of the RSU Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2018, the Compensation Committee and the independent members of the Board approved the continuation of Mr. Kirk’s compensation arrangement for an additional twelve months until March 31, 2019. Under this arrangement, Mr. Kirk will receive as compensation a payment of $200,000 per month, which payment will be made in fully-vested shares of Intrexon Common Stock subject to a three-year lockup on resale from the date of issuance. The shares of Common Stock will be valued based on the last trading day of the applicable month and will be issued pursuant to the terms of a new Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “New RSU Agreement”), effective as of April 1, 2018, under the Intrexon 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended. The terms of the New RSU Agreement are identical to the RSU Agreement except that it expires on March 31, 2019.

The foregoing description of the New RSU Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the New RSU Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
