Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;


           Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
           Officers.

In a Current Report filed by us on August 17, 2020 (the "August 8-K") we announced the approval of executive severance agreements with James R. Scapa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Brett Chouinard, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Amy Messano, our Chief Marketing Officer and Dr. Uwe Schramm, one of our Chief Technical Officers. The severance agreements each provide for severance protections in the event of a termination by the Company other than for "cause" or in the event of a resignation by Mr. Scapa, Mr. Chouinard, Ms. Messano or Dr. Schramm for "good reason". In the August 8-K, we also announced the approval of substantially similar executive severance agreements with 11 other senior executives. Reference is made to the August 8-K for a full description of those severance agreements (the "Severance Agreements").

In a Current Report filed by us on December 8, 2020, we announced that we would provide a substantially similar severance agreement to Matthew Brown, who commenced employment with us in January 2021. Mr. Brown will commence serving as our chief financial officer on March 16, 2021.

On January 23, 2021 our Board authorized us to modify the Severance Agreements to include, among other things:





         •   a revised definition of "good reason" that will provide substantially
             as follows:

"Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive's written consent: (i) a material diminution in the nature or scope of the Executive's responsibilities, duties or authority; provided, however, following a Change in Control (as defined), Executive shall not have Good Reason under this clause (c)(i) if there is not a material diminution in Executive's responsibilities, duties or authority with respect to the operations or business theretofore performed by the Company and its subsidiaries, even if (x) there is a material diminution in Executive's responsibilities, duties or authority with respect to other parts of the operations or business of the acquiring entity and/or (y) there is a change in the person to whom Executive directly reports; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive's annual base salary rate, unless applied in substantially equal or pro-rata fashion across the other similar "C" level executives of the Company; or (iii) a change in the geographic location where the Executive is required to perform services or at which the Executive is principally employed to a geographic location more than 50 miles from the Executive's principal place of employment as of the date hereof"; and





         •   a provision to the effect that if the applicable officer's employment
             is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by such officer with
             "good reason" (i) following the entrance by the Company into
             definitive documentation governing a Change in Control (including,
             without limitation, a purchase and sale agreement or merger agreement)
             but prior to (x) consummation of such Change in Control or
             (y) termination or abandonment of such Change in Control or (ii) on or
             within one (1) year following the occurrence of a Change in Control,
             all of such officer's unvested stock options and restricted stock
             units shall be fully and immediately vested, to the extent not
             previously vested; provided, however, that no such vesting shall occur
             to the extent it would result in an "additional tax" under
             Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

On January 26, 2021, the Company and Mr. Brown entered a Severance Agreement containing each of the provisions described above.
