Management Change/Compensation (Form 8-K)
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 26, 2025, Precision BioSciences, Inc. (the "Company") entered into amended and restated employment agreements to help retain each of its Section 16 officers: Michael Amoroso, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer; Alex Kelly, the Company's Chief Financial Officer; Dario Scimeca, the Company's General Counsel and Secretary; and Jeff Smith, the Company's Chief Research Officer. The employment agreements are substantively similar to their prior employment agreements, except that they reflect such executive's current annual base salary and target bonus amounts, provide for the payment of existing cash severance in a lump sum, include provisions regarding termination without cause in connection with a "change in control" or a "restructuring event" (each as defined in the respective employment agreements), and provide for a payment to cover potential additional expenses. The amended employment agreements also include a requirement to fund the cash severance and expenses in an escrow account. As a result, the Company entered into escrow arrangements with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the executives with respect to the funded amounts. Interest earned from the escrow account accrues to Precision BioSciences and any unused funds return to Precision BioSciences.
