PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2016 ANNUAL MEETING

OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD MAY 18, 2016

We have sent you or made available this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card because the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MacroGenics, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”, “MacroGenics”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday, May 18, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the Hilton Garden Inn Rockville-Gaithersburg, 14975 Shady Grove Road, Rockville, Maryland 20850.

•

This proxy statement summarizes information about the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting and other information you may find useful in determining how to vote.

•

The proxy card is the means by which you actually authorize another person to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail and personal interviews. All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names, and we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.

We are mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to our stockholders of record as of March 29, 2016, the record date, for the first time on or about April 7, 2016. In this mailing, we are also including our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2015, which Form 10-K, together with the additional cover materials, constitutes our 2015 Annual Report to Stockholders (“2015 Annual Report”). In addition, we have provided brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees, at our expense, with additional copies of our proxy materials and the 2015 Annual Report so that our record holders can supply these materials to the beneficial owners of shares of our common stock as of the record date upon request. The Form 10-K is also available in the “Financials & Filings” section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/financials.cfm.

The only voting securities of MacroGenics are shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “common stock”), of which there were 34,536,521 shares outstanding as of the record date (excluding any treasury shares). We need the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, to hold the Annual Meeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROXY PROCESS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

You are receiving this annual meeting information and proxy from us because you owned shares of common stock of MacroGenics, Inc. as of March 29, 2016, the record date for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The MacroGenics Board of Directors has made these materials available to you in connection with the Board’s solicitation of proxies for use at our Annual Meeting.

This proxy statement describes matters on which you may vote and provides you with other important information so that you can make informed decisions. You are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement and are invited to attend the annual meeting.

We intend to mail our Annual Report, this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about April 7, 2016, to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners will receive notice and electronic access to these materials, and may request physical copies from their respective brokers, custodians or fiduciaries who are holding the shares on their behalf.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 29, 2016, the record date, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were 34,536,521 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with the transfer agent for our common stock, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If, on the record date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy card from your broker or other agent.

What are the voting requirements to elect directors and approve the other proposals described in the proxy statement?

The vote required to elect directors and approve each of the matters scheduled for a vote at the annual meeting is set forth below:


Proposal	Vote Required	Board Recommendation
1. Election of directors	Plurality of votes cast	FOR
2. Ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP	Majority of votes cast	FOR
3. Advisory vote to approve compensation of named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement	Majority of votes cast	FOR
4. Advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation	Plurality of votes cast	NOT APPLICABLE

Shares voted “Abstain” will be counted for the purposes of determining whether quorum has been reached, but will have no effect on the approval of matters considered at the annual meeting. Votes may be cast by proxy or in person. A “plurality” of the votes cast at the meeting for the election of directors means that the nominees who receive the most votes will be the nominees elected by stockholders. A “plurality” of the votes cast at the meeting for the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation means that the frequency that receives the most votes will be the frequency adopted by us. In addition, you are entitled to vote on any other matters that are properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote?

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote before the meeting, as described below, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. Voting by internet or by telephone is fast and convenient and your vote is immediately confirmed and tabulated. Submitting a proxy by internet, telephone or mail prior to the annual meeting will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If you hold shares in your own name as a stockholder of record, regardless of whether you received your annual meeting materials through the mail or via the internet, you may vote before the annual meeting:

•

By Internet. To vote by internet, go to www.investorvote.com/MGNX and follow the instructions you find on this website. Your proxy will be voted according to your instructions. If you vote by internet, you do not need to mail in a proxy card.

•

By Telephone. To vote by phone, call 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) toll-free from the United States and follow the instructions. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to mail in a proxy card.

•

By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by completing, signing and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

If you vote by internet or by telephone, please do not mail in your proxy card (unless you intend for it to revoke your prior internet or telephone vote). Your internet or telephone vote will authorize the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you completed, signed and returned your proxy card.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If you hold shares in your name through a bank, broker or other nominee, please refer to the information provided by that entity regarding how to provide them with voting instructions. If you beneficially hold your shares in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee and you do not submit specific voting instructions to your broker, your broker may generally vote your shares in its discretion on matters designated as “routine” under rules applicable to broker-dealers. However, a broker cannot vote shares held in street name on matters designated by these rules as “non-routine,” unless the broker receives specific voting instructions from the beneficial holder. Please see below for a description of which of this year’s proposals are considered “routine” or “non-routine” for this purpose.

Who counts the votes?

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”) has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes as the Inspector of Elections. If you are a stockholder of record, your executed proxy card should be returned directly to Computershare for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares through a broker, your broker will return one proxy card to Computershare on behalf of all its clients.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. In addition, with respect to the election of directors, the Inspector of Election will count the number of “Withheld” votes received for the nominees. If your shares are held by a bank or broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a voting instruction form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your bank or broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your bank or broker, your bank or broker can vote your shares with respect to “routine” items, but not with respect to “non-routine” items. Please see below for more information regarding: “What are ‘broker non-votes’?” and “Which ballot measures are considered ‘routine’ and ‘non-routine’?”

What are “broker non-votes”?

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.

Which ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?

The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016 (Proposal 2) is considered routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2. The election of directors (Proposal 1), the advisory vote approving compensation of the named executive officers (Proposal 3) and the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes approving compensation of named executive officers (Proposal 4) are considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on Proposals 1, 3 and 4.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the record date.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If we receive a signed and dated proxy card or receive your instructions by internet or by telephone and your instructions do not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted “For” the election of each

of the two nominees for director, “For” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and “For” the approval of the compensation of named executive officers. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors, officers and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one notice or more than one set of materials?

It means that you have more than one account for your MacroGenics, Inc. shares. Please vote by internet or telephone using each of the identification numbers, or complete and submit all proxies to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

•

You may submit another properly completed proxy with a later date.

•

You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at 9704 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850.

•

You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Please note, however, that simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by them.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s annual meeting?

To be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, your proposal must be submitted in writing by December 31, 2016, to our Corporate Secretary at 9704 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850. However, if the date of the 2017 annual meeting is more than 30 days from May 19, 2017, the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for next year’s annual meeting. If you wish to submit a proposal that is not to be included in our proxy materials for next year’s annual meeting or to nominate a director pursuant to our current by-laws, you must do so not less than 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, that if the date of that annual meeting is more than 20 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, you must give notice not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. You are also advised to review our by-laws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that a quorum will exist if stockholders holding a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes count as present for establishing a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast. Broker non-votes occur when your broker or other nominee submits a proxy for your shares (because the broker or other nominee has received instructions from you on one or more proposals, but not all, or has not received instructions from you but is entitled to vote on a particular “discretionary” matter) but does not indicate a vote for a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee either does not have the authority to vote on that proposal and has not received voting instructions from you or has discretionary authority but chooses not to exercise it. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are unavailable at that time, we will file an amended Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the day the final results are available.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background

At the 2016 Annual Meeting, stockholders will have an opportunity to vote for the election of Messrs. Paulo Costa and Edward Hurwitz to serve as Class III directors. If elected, the terms of each of these two director nominees will expire at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. The persons named in our proxy card will vote to elect these two nominees as Class III directors, unless you withhold authority to vote for the election of any or all of these nominees by indicating as such in your proxy. Each of the nominees has indicated his willingness to serve, if elected. However, if either of the nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board, or our Board may reduce the number of directors.

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote

“FOR” the election of each of the Class III director nominees.

DIRECTORS AND NOMINEES

The following paragraphs provide information as of the date of this proxy statement about each Class III director nominee and each member of our Board of Directors whose term continues after the 2016 Annual Meeting. The information presented includes information about each such director, including age, all positions and offices held with us, length of service as a director, principal occupation and employment for the past five years and the names of other publicly held companies of which he has served as a director during the past five years. For information about the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by our directors as of March 29, 2016, please see “Information About Stock Ownership” beginning on page 41.

Each director to be elected at the 2016 Annual Meeting will hold office from the date of their election by the stockholders until the third subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and has been qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the two nominees named below. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Board may propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We have adopted a Director Compensation Program (the “Director Plan”) for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Director Plan, our non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $35,000. The Chairman receives an additional annual retainer of $27,500. In addition, all non-employee directors who serve on one or more committees are eligible to receive the following committee fees:


Committee	Member Annual Retainer		Chair Additional Retainer
Audit Committee	$	7,500	$	15,000
Compensation Committee	$	5,000	$	10,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	$	4,000	$	7,500

Our directors may elect to receive these retainer amounts in cash or stock options based on the Black-Scholes value of the dollar amount of the retainer as of the date of grant. Other than the annual retainers and committee fees paid pursuant to our Director Plan described above, non-employee directors are not entitled to receive any cash fees in connection with their service on our Board. In addition, non-employee directors are entitled to receive an option to purchase 17,000 shares of our common stock upon initial election or appointment to the Board (the “Initial Option”) and an option to purchase 8,500 shares of our common stock annually thereafter (the “Annual Option”).

Options granted to non-employee directors have a per share exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant and vest as to 1/12^th of the shares of our common stock underlying such option monthly, beginning on the first monthly anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on our Board through each vesting date. The Initial Option will be granted on the date the director first joins the Board and the Annual Option will be granted on the date of the first Board meeting held after each annual meeting of stockholders. Our directors who are employees are compensated for their service as employees and do not receive any additional compensation for their service on our Board.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation earned by our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2015.


Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash		Option Awards (1)		Total
Paulo Costa	$	34,250	$	255,403	$	289,653

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm. After consideration of the firm’s qualifications and past performance, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and our Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and is not required to submit this appointment to a vote of the stockholders. The Board, however, considers the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter of stockholder concern and is submitting the appointment of Ernst & Young for ratification by our stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. One or more representatives of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. In the event that our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young, it will be considered as a direction to the Audit Committee to consider the appointment of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Required Vote and Board Recommendation

Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the voting outcome.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by its independent registered public accounting firm. This policy is set forth in the charter of the Audit Committee and available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

The Audit Committee approved all audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by Ernst & Young LLP for 2015 and 2014 and the estimated costs of those services. Actual amounts billed, to the extent in excess of the estimated amounts, were periodically reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The material in this report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing by MacroGenics under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company’s financial reporting processes on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee’s functions are more fully described in its charter, which is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/corporate-governance.cfm. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and reporting processes, including the Company’s systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management MacroGenics’ audited financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380) as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence, and received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 of the PCAOB. Finally, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, with and without management present, the scope and results of Ernst & Young LLP’s audit of such financial statements.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that such audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also has engaged Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and is seeking ratification of such selection by the Company’s stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve an advisory vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to MacroGenics’ named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in this proxy statement, is hereby approved.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. Although the vote is non-binding, our compensation committee and Board of Directors value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain executive officers who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our named executive officers are rewarded for the achievement of our near-term and longer-term financial and strategic goals and for driving corporate financial performance and stability. The programs contain elements of cash and equity-based compensation and are designed to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.

The “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 24, including “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 24 describes in detail our executive compensation programs and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee with respect to 2015. Highlights of our executive compensation philosophy include the following:

•

A significant portion of each senior executive’s compensation should be variable, based on a combination of individual and corporate performance;

•

Compensation opportunities should be competitive with clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies of similar size and comparable stage of development, but also should be designed to be flexible enough to attract talent as needed from larger biopharmaceutical companies;

•

The equity compensation program should align executive interests with those of stockholders; and

•

Supplemental benefits and perquisites should be limited and used selectively in specific circumstances to attract and retain executives.

As we describe in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, our executive compensation program embodies a pay-for-performance philosophy that supports our business strategy and aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes this link between compensation and the achievement of our near- and long-term business goals has helped drive our performance over time. At the same time, we believe our program does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Approval of Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote outcome. If you own shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must instruct your bank, broker or other holder of record how to vote on this proposal for your shares to be counted on this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In this Proposal No. 4, we are asking our stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Stockholders may vote for a frequency of every one, two, or three years, or may abstain.

The Board of Directors will take into consideration the outcome of this vote in making a determination about the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. However, because this vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interest of our stockholders and the company to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation more or less frequently. In the future, we will propose an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation at least once every six calendar years.

Our Board of Directors acknowledges that there are a number of points of view regarding the relative benefits of the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is not making a recommendation on this Proposal 4 and currently intends to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation in accordance with the frequency option that receives the most stockholder support.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Policies

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available under the Corporate Governance section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/corporate-governance.cfm. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website or in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The references to our web address in this proxy statement do not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website. In addition, we have adopted a corporate insider trading policy that establishes procedures regulating the trading of the Company’s securities by directors and employees. This policy restricts trading during specified blackout periods, establishes procedures for directors, executive officers and certain other employees to obtain pre-approval for market trades and prohibits these individuals from engaging in certain types of transactions involving Company securities such as short sales, open market trading of options or derivatives, trading on margin and any hedging, monetization or similar arrangements.

Independence of the Board of Directors

As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board of Directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board. The Board consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent NASDAQ listing standards, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, our Board has determined that all of our directors, other than Dr. Koenig, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. Dr. Koenig is not considered independent because he is an employee of MacroGenics. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. All of the committees of our Board are comprised entirely of directors determined by the Board to be independent within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and regulations.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The Board of Directors does not have a policy regarding whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be a non-employee director. The Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. However, the Board believes that separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is currently the most appropriate structure for the Company because that structure is consistent with best corporate governance practices and may enhance the independence of the Board. Currently, Mr. Costa, a non-employee director, serves as the Chairman of the Board and Dr. Koenig serves as a director and Chief Executive Officer.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings, and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related-person transactions. Our Nominating and Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In December 2014, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc., or Janssen, relating to one of our programs, designated MGD011, and concurrently entered into a stock purchase agreement and an investor agreement with Johnson & Johnson Innovation—JJDC, Inc., or JJDC, an affiliate of Janssen. The transactions contemplated by these agreements closed in the first quarter of 2015. Under the terms of this stock purchase agreement, JJDC acquired 1,923,077 shares of our common stock, which is approximately 5.6% of our common stock as of March 29, 2016. JJDC has certain rights and is subject to certain restrictions as set forth in greater detail in the above referenced investor agreement. JJDC does not have any rights to appoint individuals to our Board of Directors or otherwise direct our general operations. There are on-going rights and obligations set forth in the above referenced collaboration and license agreement with Janssen, under which Janssen can control and direct the MGD011 program subject to the terms of that agreement; however, Janssen does not have any rights to direct our general operations. The collaboration and license agreement, the stock purchase agreement, and the investor agreement are attached as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2015.

Other than the foregoing, since January 1, 2013, there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction where we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation agreements and other agreements and transactions which are described in “Executive Compensation—Employment Arrangements”.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the written charter of our Audit Committee, that committee is responsible for reviewing and approving, prior to our entry into any such transaction, all related party transactions and potential conflict of interest situations involving a principal stockholder, a member of the Board of Directors or senior management. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. In addition, our Company policies require that our officers and employees avoid using their positions for purposes that are, or give the appearance of being, motivated by a desire for personal gain, and our policies further require that all officers and employees report any potential related party transaction prior to entering into such transaction. All such notices concerning related party transactions or conflicts of interest are submitted to, and reviewed by, our general counsel, our chief financial officer and our Audit Committee.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

MacroGenics’ compensation program is designed to attract, retain and reward a strong performing workforce in a highly competitive market to achieve the Company’s mission, vision, and goals. This philosophy is reflected in the components of the Company’s compensation program, and includes the following principles:

•

pay should be linked to individual and corporate performance;

•

compensation opportunities should be competitive with comparable biopharmaceutical companies, but also should be designed to be flexible enough to attract talent as needed from larger biopharmaceutical companies;

•

the equity compensation program should align executives’ interests with those of stockholders; and

•

supplemental benefits and perquisites should be limited and used selectively in specific circumstances to attract and retain executives

The Compensation Committee believes that these principles allow for retaining and rewarding high-performing employees while ensuring individual and corporate accountability. It will also allow MacroGenics to recruit and retain top talent at the senior executive level. This is especially critical at our current size and stage of development, but also for our future growth over the next several years.

Attract and Retain Highly Qualified Executives

The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation for MacroGenics’ named executive officers should be designed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers responsible for the success of MacroGenics and should be determined within a framework that rewards performance and aligns the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Within this overall philosophy, the Compensation Committee’s objectives are to:

•

offer a total compensation program that enables MacroGenics to attract, motivate, and retain, from a limited pool of resources, individuals who are highly experienced with a proven track record of success, and to provide total compensation that is competitive with the Company’s peers within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry;

•

achieve an equitable balance in the compensation offered to the members of the executive team;

•

provide annual variable cash incentive awards that take into account the achievement of individual performance criteria based on the Company’s performance goals; and

•

make a significant portion of named executive officers’ compensation dependent on MacroGenics’ long-term performance and on enhancing stockholder value by providing appropriate long-term, equity-based incentives and encouraging stock ownership.

Balance Corporate and Individual Performance

The Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of a named executive officer’s total compensation should be affected by the overall Company performance as well as that individual’s performance. Incentives are based on meeting criteria in each of these categories and reflect the named executive officer’s overall contribution to the Company.

Reward Named Executive Officers for Meeting MacroGenics’ Strategic Goals and Objectives

The compensation program rewards the Company’s named executive officers for achieving specified performance goals, building stockholder value and maintaining long-term careers with MacroGenics. The compensation program is designed to reward these three aspects because the Compensation Committee believes it will motivate the executive team to make balanced annual and long-term decisions resulting in financial performance, scientific and product development innovations, and achievement of the Company’s strategic business objectives.

Align Named Executive Officers’ Goals with MacroGenics’ Stockholders’ Goals

The Compensation Committee believes that MacroGenics’ long-term success depends upon aligning executives’ and stockholders’ interests. To support this objective, MacroGenics provides the named executive officers with equity accumulation opportunities by awarding stock options and, in certain cases, restricted stock. Generally, stock option grants vest over four years, which supports long-term retention of our named executive officers.

Align Named Executive Officers’ Compensation with Market Benchmarks

With the assistance of an independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee evaluates benchmarks for each named executive officer’s current compensation against the market data with a philosophy that generally targets the 25^th to 75^th percentiles for base salary, the 50^th percentile for annual cash bonus and the 50^th to 75^th percentile for long-term (equity) incentives. The Company believes these are common reference points among biotechnology companies similar in size to MacroGenics and that the Company remains competitive by setting specific targets for competitive positioning relative to the market data, while allowing for individual differentiation based on performance and other internal factors.

Use of Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee retained Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company—a division of Aon Corporation, a national executive compensation consulting firm, to conduct market research and analysis to assist the committee in developing executive compensation levels for 2015, including appropriate salaries and target bonus

percentages as well as equity awards for our executives. After review and consultation with Radford, the Compensation Committee determined that Radford was independent and that there was no conflict of interest resulting from retaining Radford for such engagement. In reaching these conclusions, our Compensation Committee considered the factors set forth in the SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards.

Oversight and Operation of the Executive Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board with its responsibilities related to the compensation of the Company’s directors, officers, and employees and the development and administration of the Company’s compensation plans. For details on the Compensation Committee’s oversight of the executive compensation program, see the section titled “Information Regarding the Board of Directors, Certain Committees and Corporate Governance Matters—Compensation Committee” beginning on page of this Proxy Statement.

The Chief Executive Officer evaluates and provides to the Compensation Committee performance assessments and compensation recommendations for each named executive officer other than himself. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance for each named executive officer and determines the appropriate executive compensation. The Compensation Committee then recommends that the Board, other than Dr. Koenig, approve the executive compensation determinations made by the Compensation Committee.

Process for Setting Executive Compensation

We review compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders and to promote a long-term commitment to our Company.

Our Compensation Committee has determined our executives’ compensation based on reviews and discussions with the Chief Executive Officer for all executives other than the Chief Executive Officer. Based on those discussions and its discretion, the Compensation Committee then determines the compensation for each executive officer. Members of management are not present for these Compensation Committee discussions except for Dr. Koenig, who participates in these discussions. Dr. Koenig is not present for the Board or Compensation Committee discussions regarding his compensation and is not a member of the Compensation Committee.

Compensation packages for each named executive officer are analyzed and discussed separately by Compensation Committee at least annually. Prior to that review, Radford performs an analysis, considering the goals of market competitiveness, the executive’s performance and contribution to the Company, and internal equity. The results of this analysis are presented to the Compensation Committee, although at any time, the Compensation Committee may request additional information from the human resources team.

Peer Group and Market Data

In conducting its analysis, the Compensation Committee directed Radford to assess the compensation practices of publicly traded peer companies with a median profile that was substantially similar to that of the Company at the time of review. The peer group was constructed from U.S.-based biopharmaceutical companies of a similar size to the Company, by market capitalization and number of employees, with at least one product candidate in Phase 2 or Phase 3 of clinical development. As secondary considerations in selecting this peer group, the Compensation Committee also prioritized selecting companies that were focused on oncology therapeutics, those that had been public companies for a relatively shorter period of time and those that had

similar levels of research and development expenses. This analysis was conducted in 2014 and in 2015 and resulted in the selection of the following companies:


2014		2015
Acceleron Pharma Inc.		Acceleron Pharma Inc.
Array BioPharma Inc.		Agenus Inc.
bluebird bio, Inc.		Alder Biopharmaceuticals Inc.
Celldex Therapeutics, Inc.		Array BioPharma Inc.
Clovis Oncology, Inc.		Celldex Therapeutics, Inc.
Endocyte, Inc.		Epizyme, Inc.
Epizyme, Inc.		Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc.
Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc.		ImmunoGen, Inc.
Immunomedics, Inc.		Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc.		Kite Pharma, Inc.
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc.		Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NewLink Genetics Corporation		NewLink Genetics Corporation
OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.		Novavax, Inc.
Prothena Corporation plc		OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Sangamo BioSciences, Inc.		Prothena Corporation plc
Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc.		Puma Biotechnology, Inc.
XOMA Corporation		Sangamo Biosciences Inc.
		Trevena, Inc.
		Xencor, Inc.

In addition, the Compensation Committee reviewed broader market compensation survey data from Radford’s Global Life Sciences survey reflecting companies of similar size, both in terms of market capitalization and number of employees, operating in the biopharmaceutical industry. The analysis conducted in 2014 was used in determining salary, non-equity compensation targets and equity grants in the first three quarters of 2015, and the analysis conducted in 2015 was used in determining equity grants in the fourth quarter of 2015 as well as salary and non-equity compensation targets for 2016.

Market data is used to determine whether or not a named executive officer’s salary, bonus opportunity and equity incentives are competitive both in terms of each element of compensation and total compensation. When setting the compensation for the named executive officers for 2015, Radford prepared an extensive analysis of compensation-related data specific to the life science industry and recommendations to review prior to making any compensation decisions.

Internal Equity

The Compensation Committee considers internal equity for all employees including, but not limited to, its named executive officers when determining compensation to ensure that the Company is fair in its compensation practices across all levels and to ensure that there is no discrimination in compensation practices among the protected classes.

Individual Performance

Consistent with past practice, towards the end of 2015, the Chief Executive Officer reviewed and evaluated the performance of the other named executive officers based on the Company’s performance and each individual’s achievements against their established objectives and made recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding bonus and equity grants as well as salary adjustments for the upcoming year. The Compensation Committee discussed recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer and evaluated them in light of each individual’s performance as well as benchmark data provided by the committee’s compensation consultant.

Consistent with past practice, toward the end of 2015, the Compensation Committee also reviewed and evaluated the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, primarily based on the Company’s performance in 2015 against its objectives and the overall value of the Chief Executive Officer’s contributions to that effort.

Based on the performance evaluations, each named executive officer was given a performance rating. The performance rating determines the amount of any merit salary increase and adjustments to the incentive cash bonus awards and equity awards. Each named executive officer received a performance rating that met or exceeded expectations.

Elements of Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective compensation program is one that provides a competitive base salary, rewards the achievement of established annual and long-term goals and objectives, and provides an incentive for retention. For this reason, the compensation program is comprised of three primary elements: base salary, a cash incentive bonus program and equity awards. The Compensation Committee believes that these three elements are the most effective combination to motivate and retain the named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between equity compensation and cash compensation, but generally seeks to provide an overall executive compensation package designed to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executive officers, to reward them for performance over time, and to align the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the stockholders.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to maintain base salaries at a competitive level sufficient to recruit and retain individuals possessing the skills and capabilities necessary to achieve the Company’s goals over the long-term. The Company provides an annual salary to each named executive officer designed to reflect that person’s level of responsibility, expertise, skills, knowledge, and experience. The Compensation Committee conducts an assessment, typically on an annual basis, comparing MacroGenics salaries to those at other comparable companies within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry and makes adjustments, as appropriate, to assist the Company in retaining this expertise, skill, and knowledge at MacroGenics. The increases for 2015 were effective as of January 1, 2015, and were determined by an annual performance review in light of the individual’s 2014 performance goals and achievement of Company objectives, as well as by reference to the Radford survey.

For 2015, the base salaries for the named executive officers were:


			Percentage
			Increase
			in Base
			Salary from
	Base		December 31,
Executive	Salary ($)		2014 (%)
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D.		520,000		12	%
James Karrels		335,000		7	%
Jon Wigginton, M.D.		379,000		3	%
Ezio Bonvini, M.D.		350,000		8	%
Atul Saran		357,000		2	%

Annual Incentive Cash Bonus

Our bonus plan motivates and rewards our executives for achievements relative to our goals and expectations for each fiscal year. Each named executive officer has a target bonus opportunity, defined as a percentage of his or her earned base salary. Following the end of each year, our Compensation Committee determines bonuses. Material considerations in determining bonuses include the level of achievement of the corporate objectives for the year; an executive’s performance against his or her individual objectives for the year; and the executive’s handling of unplanned events and opportunities. The Compensation Committee considers the Chief Executive Officer’s input with respect to the Company’s performance against our established corporate objectives. Based on these factors and the judgment of our Compensation Committee, we approved the bonuses in the table below for our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The target bonus is set at a percentage of the named executive officer’s earned base salary, with such percentages being evaluated in the context of market data as described above. The Compensation Committee believes that the higher the individual’s position within MacroGenics, the more closely his or her bonus award should be tied to the Company’s success. The Chief Executive Officer’s bonus is based solely on the achievements of the 2015 Objectives and the discretion of the Board. For named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, 60% of the bonus is based on corporate achievement and 40% of the bonus is based on individual performance. To be eligible for a bonus, a named executive officer must achieve at least a “Meets Expectations” on his or her annual performance review. The Board retains the discretion to make adjustments to the calculated bonus based on unexpected or unplanned events, the overall financial condition of the Company, extraordinary performance or underperformance or other factors.

With regard to evaluating Company performance, early in 2015, the Board, with management’s input and recommendation, reviewed and approved a set of Company objectives for 2015 and then evaluated the Company’s performance against those objectives towards the end of the year. In setting the 2015 objectives, the Board sought to create targets for management that the Board believed were consistent with the Company’s long-term strategic plan and in the best interests of shareholders.

The 2015 objectives were divided into three categories labeled as Pipeline, Discovery and Infrastructure. The Pipeline objectives related to advancing clinical-stage programs with expected enrollment timing for each ongoing clinical trial, expected initiation timing for each new clinical trial to be started in 2015 and the expected filing date of an investigational new drug, or IND, application for new molecular entities entering clinical testing for the first time. The Discovery objectives related to the identification and testing of potential new molecules expected to enter clinical testing in 2016 through 2018, consistent with the Company’s long-term strategic objective to advance at least one IND for a new molecular entity per year. The Infrastructure objectives related to compliance, the development of skills, capabilities and talents required for the long-term success of the organization and the management of the Company’s cash and other resources against budget and the Company’s strategic plan.

In making its assessments of performance at the end of the year, the Board determined that 91% of the Pipeline objectives had been met, 100% of the Discovery objectives had been met and 90% of the Infrastructure objectives had been met, and weighted these categories at 55%, 25% and 20%, respectively. Accordingly, in the aggregate, the Board determined that the Company had achieved 93% against its objectives.

In addition to the foregoing, while the Board always retains the discretion to recognize extraordinary performance, the 2015 objectives also included criteria for a transaction that would significantly accelerate the Company’s long-term strategic plan by providing significant additional funding or meaningfully expanding the Company’s pipeline. A transaction meeting the specified criteria, had one been executed, could have resulted in up to a 20% bonus.

The individual objectives for each of the named executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, were established between each such named executive officer and the Chief Executive Officer during 2015. These objectives were determined, in the Chief Executive Officer’s judgment, to provide the greatest opportunity for the Company to meet its annual and long-term objectives. At the end of the year, the Chief Executive Officer evaluated the performance of each such named executive officer and assigned an achievement percentage against the individual objectives for each such named executive officer.

For 2015, the bonus targets for each named executive officers, each individual’s achievement against those targets and the amount paid to those individuals were as follows:


Executive	Target Bonus Percentage (%)		Performance Achievement for 2015 (%)			Bonus Amount Paid ($) (1)
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D. (2)		55		93	%	$	266,000
James Karrels		35		90	%	$	107,600
Jon Wigginton, M.D.		35		100	%	$	127,100
Ezio Bonvini, M.D.		35		100	%	$	117,400
Atul Saran		35		100	%	$	119,700

(1)	Amount paid in the first quarter of 2016 reflecting 2015 Company and individual performance.

(2)	The Chief Executive Officer’s bonus is based solely on the achievements of the 2015 Company objectives and the discretion of the Board.

Equity Awards

Our previous 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or 2000 Plan, and 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2003 Plan, and our current 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2013 Plan, each authorized us to make grants to eligible recipients of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock awards, restricted stock units and other forms of award, such as stock appreciation rights.

We typically grant stock option awards at the start of employment to each employee, including our named executive officers. In addition, employees, including named executive officers, have typically been granted stock option awards on an annual basis. We believe these equity awards encourage retention and align compensation for our named executive officers with the long-term objectives of the Company. The Compensation Committee also retains discretion to make additional targeted equity awards in certain circumstances.

The annual stock option grants to our named executive officers are evaluated by the Compensation Committee in the context of each named executive officer’s total compensation and takes into account the market data provided by Radford in addition to the individual employment situation of each named executive officer. In the case of named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee also takes into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with regards to appropriate grants and any particular individual circumstances. We award our stock option grants to named executive officers on the date our Compensation Committee approves the grant. We set the option exercise price and grant date fair value based on our per-share closing-price valuation on the date of grant. Time vested stock option grants to our executives typically vest 12.5% six months after the date of grant with the remainder vesting in equal installments over the following 14 quarters. The Compensation Committee retains discretion to make adjustments to the vesting schedule and types of awards as may be necessary to meet the Company’s long-term objectives.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

All of the named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans, including health, dental, and vision insurance, a prescription drug plan, flexible spending accounts, short and long-term disability, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan. These plans are offered to all employees and do not discriminate in favor of named executive officers.

Employment Agreements and Severance Benefits

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had employment agreements in place with Dr. Koenig, Mr. Karrels and Mr. Saran. The employment agreements provide for certain payments if the named executive officer is terminated by the Company without cause or leaves for good reason. The terms of these agreements are described in greater detail in the section titled “Overview of Employment and Change in Control Agreements.” All of the named executive officers are “at-will” employees.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) limits to $1 million the amount a company may deduct for compensation paid to its chief executive officer and any of its other three named executive officers (excluding the chief financial officer). This limitation, however, does not apply to compensation meeting the requirements for qualifying performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) in designing our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee, however, believes that a compensation program that attracts and retains highly qualified executives and rewards them for their achievements is necessary for our success and, therefore, is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee believes that in establishing the cash and equity incentive compensation program for the Company’s executive officers, the potential deductibility of the compensation payable under that program should only be one of a number of relevant factors taken into consideration. Consequently, the Compensation Committee may pay or provide compensation in excess of $1 million that is not exempt from the deduction limitations under Section 162(m).

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our insider trading policy prohibits all directors and officers from pledging or engaging in hedging or similar transactions in our stock, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, puts, calls and short sales.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We do not believe that our compensation policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Risk Analysis of Our Compensation Plans

Our compensation policies and programs are designed to encourage our employees to remain focused on both our short- and long-term goals. Our management assesses and discusses with our Compensation Committee our compensation policies and practices for our employees as they relate to our risk management and, based upon this assessment, we believe that any risks arising from such policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future. The Compensation Committee believes that the mix of long-term equity incentive, short-term cash incentive bonus and base salary appropriately balances both the short-and long-term performance goals of us without encouraging excessive risk-related behavior.

Overview of Employment and Change in Control Agreements

Dr. Koenig

In October 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Koenig. Dr. Koenig is employed “at-will,” which means that he has no definitive term of employment.

Dr. Koenig’s employment agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that will prohibit him from competing with us, soliciting our customers or employees, or hiring our employees for a period of two years following the end of his employment with us for any reason and, with respect to the non-competition provisions, for the period during which he is receiving severance benefits. Under his employment, Dr. Koenig is also subject to confidentiality and invention disclosure and assignment obligations.

Dr. Koenig is eligible to receive severance benefits in specified circumstances, as set forth in the employment agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, upon execution and delivery of an irrevocable release of claims against the Company and subject to his continued compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation, confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, Dr. Koenig will be entitled to severance benefits if we terminate his employment without cause or if he terminates employment with us for good reason.

Additionally, Dr. Koenig is entitled to specified accelerated vesting of options related to a change of control.

The following definitions are used in the employment agreement:

•

“Cause” means: (a) a failure to substantially perform the duties with us (if the failure to substantially perform is not cured, if curable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Board of Directors that specifies the conduct constituting Cause under this clause (a); (b) willful misconduct, or gross negligence in the performance of duties to us; (c) the conviction or entry of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to, any crime that constitutes a felony or involves fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (d) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against us; (e) a material breach of the fiduciary duty owed to us; (f) engaging in any improper conduct that has or is likely to have an adverse economic or reputational impact on us; or (g) a material breach of the employment agreement.

•

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events (without the executive’s consent): (i) material adverse change in functions, duties, or responsibilities that would cause executive’s

position to become one of materially lesser responsibility, importance, or scope or (ii) a material breach of the agreement by us. No resignation will be treated as “good reason” unless (a) the executive has given written notice of such event to us within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence thereof, (b) we have failed to cure the condition constituting “good reason” within 30 days following the delivery of the notice, and (c) the executive terminates employment within thirty (30) days after expiration of such cure period.

•

“Change of Control” means: (a) any person (excluding our employee benefit plans) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities; (b) we consummate a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division or other reorganization or transaction with any other corporation unless our outstanding securities immediately prior to the transaction continue to represent at least 50% of the combined voting power immediately after the transaction; or (c) stockholder approval of the liquidation or winding-up of our company or the consummation of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; or (d) during any period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted our Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment, election or nomination was previously so approved or recommended) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

The following table summarizes the schedule of severance benefits Dr. Koenig would receive in the event of a qualifying termination.


Scenario	Salary Continuation	Continuation of Health Benefits	Acceleration of Unvested Equity
Absent a Change in Control	24 months of base salary and target bonus (55% of base salary)	12 months (or until Dr. Koenig obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	50% of the shares with respect to which the stock option is not vested

Termination occurs within Two Years Following a Change in Control	24 months of base salary and target bonus (55% of base salary)	12 months (or until Dr. Koenig obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	100% of the shares with respect to which the stock option is not vested

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (irrespective of whether Dr. Koenig’s employment terminates), each outstanding stock option held by Dr. Koenig that was granted by us to him prior to the IPO will become fully vested.

Mr. Karrels

In October 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Karrels. Mr. Karrels is employed “at-will,” which means that he has no definitive term of employment.

Mr. Karrels’ employment agreement includes a non-competition provision that will prohibit him from competing with us for a period of 18 months following the end of his employment with us for any reason or for the period during which he is receiving severance benefits, as well as a non-solicitation provision that will prohibit him from soliciting our customers or employees, or hiring our employees for a period of two years following the end of his employment with us for any reason. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Karrels is also subject to confidentiality and invention disclosure and assignment obligations.

Mr. Karrels is eligible to receive severance benefits in specified circumstances, as set forth in the employment agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, upon execution and delivery of an irrevocable release of claims against the Company and subject to his continued compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation, confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, Mr. Karrels will be entitled to severance benefits if we terminate his employment without cause or if he terminates employment with us for good reason.

Mr. Karrels is also entitled to specified accelerated vesting of options related to a change of control.

Mr. Karrels’ employment agreement contains substantially similar definitions of the terms “Cause,” “Good reason” and “Change of Control” as those defined in Dr. Koenig’s agreement, discussed above. The following table summarizes the schedule of severance benefits Mr. Karrels would receive in the event of a qualifying termination.


Scenario	Salary Continuation	Continuation of Health Benefits	Acceleration of Unvested Equity
Absent a Change in Control	12 months of base salary	12 months (or until Mr. Karrels obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	50% of the shares with respect to which the stock option is not vested

Termination occurs within Two Years Following a Change in Control	12 months of base salary and target bonus (35% of base salary)	12 months (or until Mr. Karrels obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	100% of the shares with respect to which the stock option is not vested

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (irrespective of whether Mr. Karrels’ employment terminates), each outstanding stock option held by Mr. Karrels that was granted by us to him prior to the IPO will become fully vested.

Mr. Saran

In July 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Saran. Mr. Saran is employed “at-will,” which means that he has no definitive term of employment.

Mr. Saran’s employment agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that will prohibit him from competing with us, soliciting our customers or employees, or hiring our employees for a period of 12 months following the end of his employment with us for any reason. Under his employment, Mr. Saran is also subject to confidentiality and invention disclosure and assignment obligations.

Mr. Saran is eligible to receive severance benefits in specified circumstances, as set forth in the employment agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, upon execution and delivery of an irrevocable release of claims against the Company and subject to his continued compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation, confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, Mr. Saran will be entitled to severance benefits if we terminate his employment without cause or if he terminates employment with us for good reason.

Mr. Saran is also entitled to specified accelerated vesting of options and restricted stock units related to a change of control.

Mr. Saran’s employment agreement contains substantially similar definitions of the terms “Cause,” “Good reason” and “Change of Control” as those defined in Dr. Koenig’s agreement, discussed above, except that the definition of “Good Reason” in Mr. Saran’s employment agreement includes a material change in geographic location of his employment of at least 50 miles from our Rockville, Maryland, headquarters. The following table summarizes the schedule of severance benefits Mr. Saran would receive in the event of a qualifying termination.


Scenario	Salary Continuation	Continuation of Health Benefits	Acceleration of Unvested Equity
Absent a Change in Control	12 months of base salary, and a portion of target bonus (35% of base salary), which portion starts at 25% on the first anniversary of the date of the employment agreement and increases 25% on each anniversary thereafter until it equals 100%	12 months (or until Mr. Saran obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	None

Termination occurs within One Year Following a Change in Control	12 months of base salary, and a portion of target bonus (35% of base salary), which portion starts at 25% on the first anniversary of the date of the employment agreement and increases 25% on each anniversary thereafter until it equals 100%	12 months (or until Mr. Saran obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)	50% of the shares with respect to which the stock option and restricted stock units are not vested
