Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 30, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MiNK Therapeutics Inc., ("MiNK") elected Dr. Robert Kadlec to become a Class II director of MiNK with an initial term that expires at MiNK's annual meeting of stockholders in 2026. Dr. Kadlec will serve on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
In connection with his election to the Board, Dr. Kadlec was granted an option to purchase 41,745 shares of the MiNK's common stock pursuant to MiNK's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The option has a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price of MiNK's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of grant and a 10-year term, and it vests over three years in equal annual installments (provided Dr. Kadlec maintains a service relationship with MiNK through each such vesting date). As a non-employee director, Dr. Kadlec will also receive cash and additional equity compensation paid by MiNK pursuant to its non-employee director compensation program. There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Kadlec and any other person pursuant to which Dr. Kadlec was selected as a director, and there are no transactions between Dr. Kadlec and MiNK that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On October 31, 2024, MiNK issued a press release announcing Dr. Kadlec's appointment to the Board. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
