Over the past year, the share price of the Class A Common Stock has declined
significantly, and as of October 10, 2019, all of the Relevant Options had exercise prices at or above the recent closing prices of our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE. As of such date, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock
was $2.89, whereas the weighted average exercise price of the Relevant Options was $13.21. Although the Company continues to believe that stock options are an important component of the Companys compensation program, the underwater stock
options may be perceived by their holders as having little or no incentive and retention effect due to the difference between the exercise prices and the current stock price.
The Compensation Committee believes that the Option Repricing, as designed, is in the best interests of stockholders and the Company, as the
repriced stock options will restore the incentive and retentive benefit of the affected stock options, and reduce the need to grant replacement equity incentives, which would deplete the available share reserve under the 2018 Plan, or to grant
replacement cash incentives, which could put an undue strain on the Companys cash resources.
Summary of Material Terms of Option Repricing
Pursuant to the approved Option Repricing, the exercise price of each Relevant Option will be amended to reduce such exercise price
to the closing price of a share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the effective date of the Option Repricing. The Option Repricing will become effective on the 20th calendar day after the completion of the mailing to the
Companys stockholders of this Notice and Information Statement. The effective date is currently expected to be November 13, 2019. In the event that the 20th calendar day is not a trading day for the NYSE, the Option Repricing will become
effective on the first NYSE trading day thereafter. Participation in the Option Repricing is not voluntary or discretionary. Accordingly, the exercise price of each outstanding stock option as of October 10, 2019 (vested or unvested) granted
between May 7, 2018 and July 15, 2019 under the 2018 Plan with an exercise price at or above $3.51 per share and held by all individuals employed by the Company on the effective date of the Option Repricing, but not including
(1) members of the Board, (2) the co-Chief Executive Officers, and (3) employees who have notified the Company of their intended separation, and employees who have been notified by the Company
of their anticipated termination date, in either case on or before the effective date of the Option Repricing (i.e., Relevant Options), will be automatically amended as described above, without any action required by the holder thereof. Legacy Impax
stock options that the Company assumed in connection with the Combination also are not eligible for the Option Repricing.
Excluding the
legacy Impax stock options, as of October 10, 2019, an aggregate of 5,877,254 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $13.50 were outstanding under the 2018 Plan and held by 296 employees and directors. Of these options,
3,698,410 (approximately 63%)with a weighted average exercise price of $13.21 and held by 200 employeesare Relevant Options and eligible for amendment pursuant to the Option Repricing. Under the Option Repricing, the exercise price of a
Relevant Option will not be amended in a manner that increases the exercise price above that in effect as of the date hereof. No additional stock options will be granted by the Company in connection with the Option Repricing.
Except for the reduction in the exercise price of the Relevant Options described above, all outstanding stock options under
the 2018 Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with all of the current terms and conditions set forth in the 2018 Plan and the applicable award agreements. As of the date of this Information Statement, the 2018 Plan is the only
equity plan under which the Company has stock options outstanding (other than the legacy Impax stock options).
