NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of MacroGenics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, will be held on May 19, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. In light of the ongoing uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the safety of all our stockholders and personnel, and taking into account the changing federal, state and local guidances or ordinances, we determined that the Annual Meeting will be held again in a virtual meeting format only via the Internet, with no physical in-person meeting, for the following purposes:

1.To elect two Class III directors listed in the attached proxy materials to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal;

2.To ratify the selection by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

3.To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the attached proxy statement;

4.To approve, on advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation; and

5.To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The foregoing items of business are more fully described in the proxy statement accompanying this notice.

Only stockholders who owned our common stock at the close of business on March 25, 2022 (the "Record Date"), can vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the election of the director nominees, FOR Proposal Nos. 2, and 3, and "ONE YEAR" for Proposal No. 4.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote by Internet, by telephone or by completing, signing and dating the accompanying proxy card and returning it as soon as possible. If you have received and are using an enclosed return envelope, no postage need be affixed if it is mailed in the United States. If you receive more than one notice or more than one proxy card because your shares are registered in different names or addresses, you should vote each set of shares separately to ensure that all of your shares will be voted.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF

STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD May 19, 2022

We have made available to you 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 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held by means of a virtual format on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Only stockholders of record and beneficial owners of shares of our common stock as of the close of business on March 25, 2022 (the “Record Date”), may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, including voting and asking questions during the virtual Annual Meeting. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person. In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you must register at www.proxydocs.com/MGNX. Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email, including a unique link that will allow you access to the Annual Meeting and to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. As part of the registration process, you must enter the control number located on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice of Internet Availability (the “Notice”). If, on the Record Date, you are a beneficial owner of shares 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 you will also need to provide the registered name on your account and the name of your broker, bank or other nominee as part of the registration process.

• 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 and by email. All costs of the 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 pleased to take advantage of Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules that allow us to furnish our proxy materials, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), which Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the additional cover materials, constitutes our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders (“2021 Annual Report”) and this proxy statement (collectively, the “Proxy Materials”), over the Internet. As a result, we are mailing to most of our stockholders the Notice instead of a paper copy of the Proxy Materials. The Notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet and how to submit your proxy via the Internet. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the Proxy Materials. All stockholders who do not receive the Notice will receive a paper copy of the Proxy Materials by mail or an electronic copy of the Proxy Materials by email. This process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need in a more timely manner, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing the Proxy Materials. This proxy statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K is also available in the “Financials & Filings” section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/financial-information. The references to any of our web addresses in this proxy statement are inactive textual references only and do not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through these web addresses.

The Notice and the Proxy Materials are first being made available to stockholders on or about April 8, 2022.

The only voting securities of MacroGenics are shares of our common stock, of which there were 61,324,758 shares outstanding as of the Record Date. We need the holders of a majority in voting power of these shares of common stock to be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum and conduct business at the Annual Meeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROXY PROCESS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

You are receiving the notice of Annual Meeting and related Proxy Materials from us because you owned shares of our common stock as of the Record Date for the Annual Meeting. The Board 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 about such matters. You are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement and are invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

We intend to make our 2021 Annual Report, this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card available on or about April 8, 2022 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 the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 61,324,758 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 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. To facilitate timely receipt of your proxy and avoid any potential systems disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage you to vote by telephone or Internet promptly by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card.

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 regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you will receive instructions from the brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization that must be followed for that organization to vote your shares per your instructions. Beneficial holders may be required to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote during the meeting.

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 Class III directors

Plurality of votes cast

FOR

2. Ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”)

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

Majority of votes cast

ONE YEAR

Shares voted “Abstain” or “Withhold” will be counted for the purposes of determining whether a 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 at the Annual Meeting. A “plurality” of the votes cast at the meeting for the election of directors means that the nominees who receive the most

votes, even if less than a majority, will be the nominees elected by stockholders. A majority of votes cast means that the shares voted in favor of a proposal exceed the shares voted against a proposal.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record and beneficial owners of shares of our common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, including voting and asking questions during the virtual Annual Meeting. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person. In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you must register at www.proxydocs.com/MGNX. Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email from Mediant Communications, Inc. (“Mediant”), including a unique link that will allow you access to the Annual Meeting and to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. As part of the registration process, you must enter the control number located on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice. If, on the Record Date, you are a beneficial owner of shares 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”. You may be instructed to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and to submit a copy in advance of the meeting. Further instructions will be provided to you as part of your registration process. Requests for registration must be received no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on May 17, 2022.

For the Annual Meeting, how do I ask questions of management and the Board?

Our virtual Annual Meeting will allow stockholders to submit questions before and during the Annual Meeting. During a designated question and answer period at the Annual Meeting, we will respond to appropriate questions submitted by stockholders. We will answer as many stockholder-submitted questions as time permits, and any questions that we are unable to address during the Annual Meeting will be answered following the meeting. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

How can I vote at the Annual Meeting?

If you were a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, or you hold a legal proxy provided by your brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization for the Annual Meeting, you may vote by attending the meeting. To attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares, you must register for the Annual Meeting and provide the control number located on your Notice or proxy card. See “Who Can Attend the Annual Meeting” above.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting. For information on how to vote prior to the Annual Meeting, see “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?”

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote before the Annual Meeting, as described below, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual 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.

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. If you received the Notice or a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, follow the instructions in the Notice or on the proxy card. If you vote by Internet, you do not need to mail in a proxy card.

• By Telephone. If you received a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, follow the instructions on the proxy card. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to mail in a proxy card.

• By Mail. If you received a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, complete, sign, date, and mail your proxy card in the enclosed, postage-prepaid 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.

If you hold shares in street name, please refer to the information provided by the institution that holds your shares regarding how to provide them with voting instructions. If you beneficially hold your shares in street name 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. See “What are ‘broker non-votes’?” and “Which ballot measures are considered ‘routine’ and ‘non-routine’?” below for additional information.

Who counts the votes?

Mediant 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 Mediant for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares through a broker, your broker will return one proxy card to Mediant on behalf of all its clients.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by Mediant, who will separately count (a) for Proposal No. 1 to elect directors, votes “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes, (b) for Proposal No. 2 to ratify the selection of our auditor, votes “For” and “Against,” as well as abstentions, (c) for Proposal No. 3 on the compensation of our named executive officers, “For” and “Against,” as well as abstentions and broker non-votes and (d) for Proposal No. 4 on the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes approving compensation of the named executive officers, votes for “One Year,” “Two Years,” “Three Years,” abstentions and broker non-votes. If your shares are held 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 the institution that holds your shares to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to the institution that holds your shares, the institution that holds your shares can vote your shares with respect to “routine” items, but not with respect to “non-routine” items. See “What are ‘broker non-votes’?” and “Which ballot measures are considered ‘routine’ and ‘non-routine’?” for more information.

How are director nominee withhold votes treated?

Director nominees are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. The nominees receiving the highest number of votes “For” will be elected. Votes may be cast “For” or may be “Withheld” with respect to any or all of the director nominees. For purposes of the election of directors, votes that are “Withheld” and broker non-votes (described below) will be counted as “present” for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

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 to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.

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

The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 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 occur in connection with Proposal No. 2. The election of directors (Proposal No. 1), the advisory vote approving compensation of the named executive officers (Proposal No. 3) and the advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes approving compensation of the named executive officers (Proposal No. 4) are considered non-routine matters under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions from the beneficial owners on non-routine matters, and therefore we expect there may be broker non-votes on Proposal Nos. 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 is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Our by-laws provide that a quorum will exist if stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote are present at the meeting or by proxy. Abstentions, withheld votes, and broker non-votes count as present for establishing a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned or postponed until a quorum is obtained.

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 for the year ending December 31, 2022, “For” the non-binding advisory approval of the compensation of the named executive officers and “One Year” for the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes approving compensation of the named executive officers.

Will a list of record stockholders as of the Record Date be available?

A list of our record stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date will be made available to stockholders during the Annual Meeting via a secure link. In addition, for the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, the list will be available at our corporate headquarters, 9704 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, for examination by any stockholder of record for a legally valid purpose during regular business hours.

What if other matters not on the proxy card are brought before the Annual Meeting for action by the stockholders?

As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board does not intend to present any matters other than those described in this proxy statement at the Annual Meeting and is not aware of any matters to be presented by other parties. If other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting for action by the stockholders, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.

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 shares. Please vote by Internet or telephone using each of the identification numbers marked on each notice of Annual Meeting, or complete and submit all proxies by mail 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 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 by Internet, telephone or mail.

• 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. 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 nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by such nominee.

When are stockholder proposals or director nominations due for next year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

To be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting (the “2023 Annual Meeting”), your stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by December 9, 2022, to our Corporate Secretary at 9704 Medical Center Drive,

Rockville, Maryland 20850. However, if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from May 19, 2022, the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting. In addition, if you wish to present any other business at the 2023 Annual Meeting or to nominate a director pursuant to our by-laws, you must provide written notice to the Company not less than 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting (February 18, 2022 and January 19, 2022, respectively); provided, that if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting is more than 20 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, you must give notice not earlier than the 120th day prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting and (b) the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the 2023 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.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our amended and restated by-laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once effective), stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 20, 2023.

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

Voting results will be announced by the Company pursuant to 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 become available.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background

Our Board is divided into three classes. Each class consists, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board, and each class has a three-year term. Unless the Board determines that vacancies (including vacancies created by increases in the number of directors) will be filled by the stockholders, and except as otherwise provided by law, vacancies on the Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors) shall serve for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, subject to the election and qualification of such director’s successor, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will have an opportunity to vote for the re-election of Karen Ferrante, M.D. and Edward Hurwitz to serve as Class III directors. On September 23, 2021, Paulo Costa, also a Class III director, informed the Board that he will not be standing for reelection at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Costa will continue to serve as a Director, Chair, and on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until the expiration of his current term at the Annual Meeting. Each director nominee to be elected will hold office from the date of his or her election by the stockholders until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his or her successor is elected and has been qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of the Class III director nominees.

DIRECTORS AND NOMINEES

This section provides information as of the date of this proxy statement about each Class III director nominee as well as those directors whose terms continue after the Annual Meeting. The information includes 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 s/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 25, 2022, please see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 40.

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. Each of Karen Ferrante, M.D. and Edward Hurwitz 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 Annual Meeting.

Class III Nominees for Election to a Three-Year Term Expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Karen Ferrante, M.D., age 64

Dr. Ferrante has served as a director since January 2017. Dr. Ferrante, a hematologist-oncologist, most recently served as Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Development at Tokai Pharmaceuticals and brings over 25 years of oncology drug development experience to the Board. Prior to Tokai, Dr. Ferrante held several senior level positions at Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. and parent company Takeda Pharmaceuticals, including Oncology Therapeutic Area Head, Takeda Cambridge Site Head and Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Ferrante previously held positions of increasing responsibility at Pfizer Global Research and Development and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Dr. Ferrante holds an M.D. from Georgetown University and completed her internship and residency in internal medicine at New England Deaconess Hospital (now part of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) followed by a fellowship in hematology and oncology. She currently serves as a director of Hutch-Med (formerly Chi-Med) and Cogent Biosciences, which are publicly held biopharmaceutical companies. She also serves on the scientific advisory board of Kazia Therapeutics and served on Trillium Therapeutics' scientific advisory board until its acquisition by Pfizer in 2021. Based on Dr. Ferrante’s depth of experience in the biotechnology industry, ranging from executive officer to director roles, the Board believes Dr. Ferrante has the appropriate set of skills to serve as a member of our Board.

Edward Hurwitz, age 58

Mr. Hurwitz has served as a director since October 2004. Mr. Hurwitz is a Managing Director of MPM Capital, a life sciences venture capital firm. Prior to joining MPM Capital, Mr. Hurwitz was the founding Managing Director of Precision Bioventures, LLC, a consulting and investment advisory firm. He was a director of Alta BioPharma III, L.P., and Alta Partners VIII, L.P., funds affiliated with Alta Partners, a venture capital firm, from 2002 through December 2014. Mr. Hurwitz also serves as a director of Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation ("AGTC") and Dyne Therapeutics, publicly held companies. Mr. Hurwitz received J.D.

and M.B.A degrees from the University of California at Berkeley in 1990 and a B.A. in molecular biology from Cornell University in 1985. The Board believes that Mr. Hurwitz’s financial and scientific expertise, as well as his deep understanding of the biotechnology industry, makes him an important asset to our Board as it assesses both financial and strategic decisions.

Class I Directors Continuing in Office Until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., age 69

Dr. Koenig has been our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director since September 2001 and was one of our co-founders. Prior to joining MacroGenics, Dr. Koenig served as Senior Vice President of Research at MedImmune, Inc., where he participated in the selection and maturation of its product pipeline. From 1984 to 1990, he worked in the Laboratory of Immunoregulation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, where he investigated the immune response to retroviruses and studied the pathogenesis of AIDS. Dr. Koenig currently serves as chair of the Board of Directors of AGTC, and is a member of the Board of Directors of GlycoMimetics, Inc., both publicly held companies. Additionally, Dr. Koenig serves on the Board of Directors of the International Biomedical Research Alliance and the Biotechnology Innovation Organization ("BIO"). Dr. Koenig received his A.B. and Ph.D. from Cornell University and his M.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. We believe that Dr. Koenig is able to perform his duties as a director of MacroGenics while serving as a member of these additional boards. At this time little to no travel is required for Dr. Koenig’s service on any of these boards. Should any of these boards require in-person attendance in the future, GlycoMimetics, Inc. and MacroGenics are in close geographical proximity, and therefore, Dr. Koenig would not have to engage in travel to participate in the meetings of the boards of directors for those companies. Dr. Koenig attended all of the MacroGenics Board and relevant committee meetings as well as the annual meeting of stockholders in 2021. We believe that Dr. Koenig’s detailed knowledge of our company and his over 30 years in research and the biotechnology industry provide a valuable contribution to our Board.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We have adopted a director compensation program for our non-employee directors. 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. Pursuant to the director compensation program, our non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $40,000, to be pro rated if he or she is serving as a director for less than the full year. If our chair is a non-employee director, the chair receives an additional annual retainer of $35,000. In addition, all non-employee directors who served on one or more committees in 2021 were eligible to receive the following committee fees, effective as of the 2021 Annual Meeting:


Committee	Member Annual Retainer ($)	Chair Additional Annual Retainer ($)
Audit Committee	10,000	20,000
Compensation Committee	7,500	15,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	5,000	10,000
Science and Technology Committee	7,500	15,000

All of these annual fees are paid in quarterly installments in, at each director’s election, either cash or stock options based on the Black-Scholes value of the dollar amount of the retainer as of the date of grant. Directors are also reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings. Other than the annual retainers and committee fees paid pursuant to our director compensation program described above, non-employee directors are not entitled to receive any cash fees in connection with their service on our Board. Director compensation is reviewed regularly, generally on an annual basis, by the Compensation Committee of our Board (the “Compensation Committee”). In setting director compensation, including any modifications to the director compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers several factors including the Company’s size and stage of development and market data of the Company’s peer group, as described below under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" of this proxy statement. The Compensation Committee also considers recommendations from its independent compensation consultant in making these determinations.

In addition, non-employee directors are entitled to receive an option to purchase shares of our common stock upon initial election or appointment to the Board (the “Initial Option”) and an option to purchase shares of our common stock annually thereafter (the “Annual Option”). The number of shares of common stock available for the Initial Option and Annual Option are 30,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively.

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. Such grants vest with respect to the Initial Option as to 1/36th of the shares of our common stock underlying such option monthly, and with respect to the Annual Option as to 1/12th 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 is granted on the date the director first joins the Board and the Annual Option is granted on the date of the first Board meeting held after each Annual Meeting of stockholders.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation earned by our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2021:


Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)	Option Awards ($) (1)	Total ($)

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") 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 (“the Audit Committee”) has appointed Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Ernst & Young has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2006.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC and our Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, retention 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 unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table provides information regarding the fees paid to Ernst & Young during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. All fees described below were approved by the Audit Committee.

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/governance.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by Ernst & Young for 2021 and 2020 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.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

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 (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

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. 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, 2021.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young its independence, and received from Ernst & Young the written disclosures and the letter required by Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Finally, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young, with and without management present, the scope and results of Ernst & Young’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, 2021, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In 2016, stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Pursuant to that guidance and consistent with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our Board 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 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 “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 23 describes in detail our executive compensation programs and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee with respect to 2021. Highlights of our executive compensation philosophy include the following:

• A portion of each senior executive’s compensation should be variable, with the target bonus 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 from other biopharmaceutical companies as needed;

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

• Supplemental benefits and perquisites should be limited and used selectively, if at all, 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 we believe supports our business strategy and aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. The Board believes this link between compensation and the achievement of our near- and long-term business goals helps drive Company 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 the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers 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. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote.

The Board unanimously 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

Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules require that we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote every six years, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently we should seek future advisory say-on-pay votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. This advisory vote last occurred in 2016. This year we are once again asking our stockholders to indicate, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, whether they would prefer an advisory say-on-pay vote on the compensation of our named executive officers to occur every one, two or three years.

After careful consideration of this proposal, our Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is in the interest of the stockholders, and therefore our Board recommends that you vote for the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers to occur every year.

In formulating its recommendation, our Board considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. Additionally, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. In 2016, stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for MacroGenics, and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this proposal.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Approval of the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on compensation of our named executive officers 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. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote for a "ONE YEAR" frequency of future advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Policies

The Board is guided by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provide a framework for the governance of the Company and the responsibilities of the Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address director qualifications, director access to management and independent advisors and Board responsibilities, as well as the annual performance evaluations of the Board and its standing Committees. In addition, the Company seeks to conduct business ethically and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) sets forth the principles that guide the Company’s business practices. The Code applies to all our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code are available under the Corporate Governance section of our website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/governance. We expect that any amendments to the Corporate Governance Guidelines or the Code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

Independence of the Board

As required under rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), a majority of the members of our Board 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.

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/her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by Nasdaq rules, our Board has evaluated, with respect to each of our directors, whether any 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. Consistent with these considerations, our Board has determined that all of our directors who will continue to serve on the Board after the Annual Meeting, other than Dr. Koenig, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. Dr. Koenig is not considered independent because of his employment as MacroGenics' Chief Executive Officer. 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 does not have a policy regarding whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chair of the Board should be a non-employee director. If the Chair of the Board is an employee director, then the Board will elect a Lead Director from among the independent directors.

Currently, Mr. Costa, a non-employee director, is serving as the Chair of the Board until the expiration of his term at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, and Dr. Koenig serves as a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 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 Chair of the Board is currently the most appropriate structure for the Company because this structure is consistent with best corporate governance practices. In addition, our Board believes this structure creates an environment in which there are candid disclosures by management to the Board about the Company’s performance and a culture in which directors can regularly engage management and each other in active and meaningful discussions about various corporate matters.

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 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 and 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, including cyber-security. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and, if appropriate, approves any related-person transactions. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Board Composition and Diversity

The Corporate Governance Guidelines include an affirmation that the Board believes that a diverse membership with varying perspectives and breadth of experience is an important attribute of a well-functioning Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines include the requirement that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall regularly consider the diversity makeup of the Board, and may consider such factors as differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to board heterogeneity, including characteristics such as race, gender and national origin. In addition, in considering new candidates for the Board, efforts shall be made to identify directors who can add to the diversity of the Board, considering a variety of factors including age, gender, sexual orientation, and racial or ethnic makeup. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make efforts toward diverse membership representation by 2023 as follows: (1) at least two "diverse" Board members, as defined and understood by applicable listing standards or regulations, including at least one director who self identifies as female and at least one director who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+ or (2) to explain why such representation was not met. The Board presently has two directors who self-identify as female, one of whom was appointed as a director in 2021.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the Company’s financial statements. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to corporate accounting and auditing, reporting practices of the Company, the quality and integrity of the financial reports of the Company, the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance, ethics and cyber-security that management and the Board have established, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, if any, and the registered public accounting firm ("independent auditor"), and the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent auditor. The Audit Committee also maintains a free and open means of communication between directors, the independent auditor, the internal auditor, if any, and the management of the Company.

The current members of our Audit Committee are Federica O'Brien, Edward Hurwitz and Scott Jackson. As of January 2022, Ms. O'Brien serves as the chair of the Audit Committee. Ken Galbraith served as the chair of the Audit Committee in 2021, but was no longer a member of the Audit Committee effective as of his resignation as a director on January 5, 2022. Edward Hurwitz joined the Audit Committee in January 2022. All current members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Our Board has determined for 2022 that each of Mr. Hurwitz and Ms. O'Brien qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Our Board has determined for 2022 that each of Messrs. Hurwitz and Jackson and Ms. O'Brien are independent under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and under the applicable rules of the SEC, in particular, Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and Nasdaq and the committee reviews compliance with its charter annually. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/governance.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates our compensation philosophy for executive officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves both corporate and individual goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and determines and approves his compensation based on such evaluations. In addition, the Compensation Committee determines and approves the compensation for all of the Company’s executive officers, and oversees equity grants to Dr. Koenig, our Chief Executive Officer, and other awards to employees other than executive officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews director compensation at least annually, including retainers for committee service, and recommends any changes to the Board.

The current members of our Compensation Committee are Karen Ferrante, M.D., Scott Jackson, Jay Siegel, M.D. and David Stump, M.D. Mr. Jackson serves as the chair of the Compensation Committee. Each of the members of our Compensation Committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, and under the applicable rules of the SEC, in particular, Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act, is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is an “outside director” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter and the committee reviews compliance with its charter annually. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://ir.macrogenics.com/governance.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations to our Board regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of our Board.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis considers the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, the objectives and operation of the compensation program, how compensation was set for 2021 and the various elements of compensation paid to the named executive officers for services during 2021.

In 2021, MacroGenics’ named executive officers consisted of the following people:


Name						Position(s)
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D						President, Chief Executive Officer and Director (principal executive officer)

James Karrels						Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary (principal financial officer)

Ezio Bonvini, M.D.						Senior Vice President, Research and Chief Scientific Officer

Eric Risser						Chief Operating Officer

Thomas Spitznagel, Ph.D.						Senior Vice President, Technical Operations

Executive Compensation Philosophy

MacroGenics’ executive compensation program, overseen by the Compensation Committee, is designed to attract, retain and reward highly qualified talent at the senior executive level, in a very competitive market, while ensuring individual and corporate accountability 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 for executives, other than the CEO, who are responsible for the success of MacroGenics should be linked to individual and corporate performance, and the pay for the CEO should be linked to corporate performance;

•compensation opportunities should be competitive with comparable biopharmaceutical companies, but also should be designed to be sufficiently flexible to attract talent as needed from other 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, if at all, in specific circumstances to attract and retain executives.

Within this overall philosophy, the Compensation Committee’s objectives regarding executive officer compensation are to:

• offer a total compensation program that enables MacroGenics to attract, motivate, and retain 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, as described in more detail below;

• provide annual variable cash incentive awards based on the achievement of individual and corporate performance criteria;

• 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 consistent with our executive officer stock ownership guidelines; and

•consider internal equity in the compensation offered to the members of the executive team;

Attract, Motivate, and Retain Highly Qualified Executives

The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation for MacroGenics’ 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.

Balance Corporate and Individual Performance

The Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of an executive officer’s total compensation should be affected by overall Company performance but also should be affected by the individual’s performance. Incentives are based on meeting criteria in each of these categories and reflect the named executive officer’s overall contributions 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 corporate and individual performance goals and building stockholder value, and incentivizes long-term retention with MacroGenics. The compensation program is designed to consider these aspects because the Compensation Committee believes it will motivate the executive team to make balanced operational and long-term strategic decisions resulting in strong financial performance, scientific and product development innovation, and the achievement of the Company’s strategic business objectives.

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

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

Determine Named Executive Officers’ Compensation with Reference to Market Benchmarks

With the assistance of an independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee evaluates the compensation for each executive officer’s current position against the compensation data from peer companies, as described below. The Compensation Committee uses competitive compensation data from the annual total compensation study of peer biopharmaceutical companies to inform its decisions about overall compensation opportunities and specific compensation elements. Additionally, the Compensation Committee uses multiple reference points when establishing targeted compensation levels for executive officers. The Compensation Committee does not tie specific compensation elements or total compensation to any specific percentile relative to peer companies or the broader U.S. market. Instead, the Compensation Committee applies judgment and discretion in establishing targeted pay levels, taking into account not only competitive market data but also factors such as overall Company, business, and individual performance, scope of responsibility, critical needs and skill sets, leadership potential, company constraints, internal equity, and other internal factors.

Use of Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee retained Aon's Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon, plc (formerly known as Radford ("Aon")), to conduct market research and analysis to assist the Committee in developing executive compensation levels for 2021, including appropriate base salaries, bonus percentages and equity awards for our executives. After consultation with Aon, the Compensation Committee determined that Aon was independent and that there was no conflict of interest resulting from retaining Aon for this engagement. In reaching these conclusions, the 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 review and approve annually the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, assist the Board with its responsibilities related to the compensation of the Company’s directors, officers, and employees, and to oversee the development and administration of the Company’s compensation plans. For details regarding the Compensation Committee’s oversight of the executive compensation program, see the section titled “Corporate Governance-Board Composition and Diversity — Compensation Committee” beginning on page 16 of this proxy statement.

Process for Setting Executive Compensation

In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, the Compensation Committee considers compensation for comparable positions in the market including a review of peer group data, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, internal pay equity, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders and to incentivize a long-term commitment to our Company. The Compensation Committee also considers stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation. In 2020 and 2021 such votes resulted in 89.7% and 96.7%, respectively, of the votes cast approving the compensation paid to the

Company’s named executive officers, on an advisory basis. The Compensation Committee believes these stockholder advisory votes indicate strong support for the Company’s executive compensation program.

On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee schedules a series of meetings at which it reviews executive officer compensation. These meetings are used to establish a set of peer companies to use as a benchmark, review market compensation data from those companies as well as data from the biopharmaceutical sector more broadly, obtain input from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant and obtain input from the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President, Human Resources. The Compensation Committee reviews the peer group annually to ensure that each company remains reasonable and appropriate and makes changes to the constituent companies as necessary. Selection parameters are determined for each review of the peer group based on the Company’s profile at the time of the review and all companies are evaluated against the selection criteria. Companies may be removed from the peer group based on falling outside of the selection parameters or due to being acquired while others may be added based on generally meeting the selection parameters and proximity to the Company in terms of business focus. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee strives to select a group of peer companies that is most closely aligned with the Company in terms of size (market capitalization and employee headcount), therapeutic area and business profile.

In addition, as described above, Aon performs an analysis and presents a detailed report to our Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer, and makes recommendations for our executives’ compensation. The Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee review and discuss compensation for all executives other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer evaluates and provides to the Compensation Committee performance assessments and compensation recommendations for each executive officer other than himself. Dr. Koenig is not present for any Compensation Committee discussions regarding his compensation. Based on those discussions and its discretion, the Compensation Committee then determines and approves the compensation for each executive officer. MacroGenics’ Vice President, Human Resources is present for a portion of these Compensation Committee discussions and, at the request of the Compensation Committee, supplements information provided by Aon.

Compensation packages for each executive officer are analyzed and discussed by the Compensation Committee at least annually. Prior to that review, Aon performs an analysis, considering the goal of market competitiveness. The results of this analysis are presented to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also considers the executive’s performance and contribution to the Company, internal equity, and other factors. In addition, at any time, the Compensation Committee may request additional information from the Vice President, Human Resources.

Peer Group and Market Data

In conducting its analysis, the Compensation Committee directed Aon 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 used to set 2021 compensation guidelines, and was constructed from U.S.-based biopharmaceutical companies of a similar size to the Company at the time, by market capitalization ($400M-$3.7B) and number of employees (75-1,200 headcount), targeting companies with at least one product candidate in Phase 3, those that have submitted a New Drug Application or are early commercial stage in development, with a preference towards pre-commercial companies. As secondary considerations in selecting this peer group, the Compensation Committee also prioritized selecting companies that were focused on oncology therapeutics and those that had similar levels of R&D expenses. This analysis was conducted in 2020 and resulted in (i) the removal of the following companies from the prior year’s peer group for purposes of establishing the 2021 compensation for our executive officers: Aimmune Therapeutics, Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Novavax, Inc., and (ii) the addition of Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Clovis Oncology, Molecular Templates, NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Y-mAbs Therapeutics, and Zymeworks. The 2020 peer group analysis for purposes of establishing 2021 compensation resulted in the selection of the following companies:


Agenus, Inc.	Clovis Oncology, Inc.	Odonate Therapeutics, Inc.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals	Epizyme, Inc.	Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc.	Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc.	Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc.
Athenex, Inc.	ImmunoGen, Inc.	TG Therapeutics, Inc.
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.	Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.	Xencor, Inc.
Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc.	Karyopharm Therapeutics, Inc.	Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc.
ChemoCentryx, Inc.	Molecular Templates, Inc.	Zymeworks
	NGM Biopharmaceuticals, 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 of the peer companies above and this additional market data were used in determining salary, non-equity compensation targets and equity awards for 2021, including in confirming that compensation was competitive both in terms of each element of compensation and total compensation. The Compensation Committee used the data from the 2020 peer companies to determine appropriate base salary increases and equity grants to award to executive officers who were promoted during that year.

Market data is used to determine whether 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 2021, Aon 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 employees.

Evaluation of Individual Performance As Part of Our Process for Setting Executive Compensation

In early 2022, the Chief Executive Officer reviewed and evaluated the 2021 performance of the other executive officers based on the Company’s performance in 2021 and each individual’s achievements in 2021 against their established objectives that had been set early in the year. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer made recommendations to the Compensation Committee for each other executive officer regarding base salary adjustments for 2022, bonuses to be paid based on 2021 performance, adjustments to target bonus percentages, if any, and 2022 equity grants. 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.

In early 2022, the Compensation Committee also reviewed and evaluated the 2021 performance of the Chief Executive Officer, based on the Company’s performance in 2021 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 received a performance rating for their 2021 performance. The performance rating was used to determine 2022 base salary adjustments, bonuses to be paid based on 2021 performance, adjustments to target bonus percentages and, if any, 2022 equity grants. For 2021 individual performance, each named executive officer received an overall performance rating that reflected they had achieved expectations 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 performance-based 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. When determining 2021 base salaries, the Compensation Committee considered each named executive officer’s performance in light of the individual’s 2020 performance and achievement of Company objectives, as well as the peer group data described above, and made adjustments, as appropriate, to assist the Company in retaining this expertise, skill, and knowledge at the Company. These base salary increases for fiscal year 2021 were effective as of February 22, 2021.

The 2021 base salaries for the named executive officers were:


Executive	Base Salary ($)	Percentage Increase in Base Salary from December 31, 2020 (%)
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D.	654,050	3
James Karrels	434,479	4
Ezio Bonvini, M.D.	464,409	3
Eric Risser	429,883	3
Thomas Spitznagel, Ph.D.	412,412	4

Annual Incentive Cash Bonus

Our bonus plan is designed to motivate and reward our executives for achievements relative to our goals and expectations for each fiscal year. Each 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, in its discretion, determines bonuses. Material considerations in determining bonuses include the overall performance of the Company, the level of achievement of the corporate objectives for the year and an executive officer’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, 2021.

The target bonus is set as a percentage of the named executive officer’s 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 the Company, the more closely his or her bonus award should be tied to the Company’s success. The Chief Executive Officer’s bonus was based solely on the achievement of the 2021 corporate objectives described below, subject to discretionary adjustment by the Compensation Committee. For each of the other named executive officers, the incentive cash bonus plan for 2021 was weighted differently from that of the CEO. Specifically, 80% of the target bonus was based on corporate achievement and 20% of the target bonus was based on individual performance, with a cap of 150% on the individual performance component. The Compensation Committee chose this allocation because it believed that this recognized the need for the other executive officers to have a substantial

portion of their compensation tied to Company performance, while also recognizing the need to focus and incentivize executive officers to achieve their individual performance goals. In contrast, given his senior role at the Company, the Compensation Committee believed that 100% of Dr. Koenig’s bonus compensation should be tied to Company performance, since he is ultimately responsible for the performance of all aspects of the Company’s business. The Compensation Committee assesses the split between corporate achievement and individual performance on a periodic basis. The Compensation Committee 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 individual or corporate factors.

2021 Company Performance Objectives

With regard to evaluating Company performance, early in 2021, the Compensation Committee, with management’s input and recommendation, reviewed and approved a set of Company objectives for 2021. In setting the 2021 objectives, the Board sought to create targets for management that the Compensation Committee believed were consistent with the Company’s long-term strategic plan and in the best interests of stockholders.

The 2021 company performance objectives were divided into four categories labeled as Clinical Pipeline, Pre-Clinical Programs, Commercial and Infrastructure. The Clinical Pipeline objectives related to advancing clinical-stage programs with expected enrollment targets and timing for each ongoing clinical trial and the anticipated timing for initiation of each new clinical trial that was to be started in 2021, as well as making one or more strategic decisions about trial continuations based on data read-outs. The Pre-Clinical Program objectives related to the identification and testing of potential new molecules for clinical testing in 2022 through 2023, consistent with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives. The Commercial objectives related to the commercial launch of margetuximab. The Infrastructure objectives related to business development, compliance, the development of capabilities required for the long-term success of the organization, and the management and stewardship of the Company’s cash and other resources compared with budget and the Company’s strategic plan. In evaluating overall performance, Clinical Pipeline objectives were given a 65% weighting, Pre-Clinical Program objectives were given a 10% weighting, Commercial objectives were given a 10% weighting and Infrastructure objectives were given a 15% weighting.

In making its assessments of performance at the end of the year, the Board determined that the Clinical Pipeline objectives had been partially met, the Pre-Clinical Program objectives had been partially met, the Commercial objectives had been met, and the Infrastructure objectives had been partially met. Given the weighting of each category, in the aggregate, the Board determined that the Company had achieved 75% of the 100% possible against these objectives.

2021 Individual Performance Objectives

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 2021. These objectives were established, 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, along with the Compensation Committee, 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 2021, the bonus targets for each named executive officer, each individual’s achievement against those targets and the amount paid to those individuals were as follows:


Executive	Target Bonus Percentage (%) (1)	Target Bonus ($)	Performance Achievement for 2021 (%) (2)	Bonus Amount Paid ($) (3)
Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D. (4)	60	392,430	75	294,323
James Karrels	40	173,792	79	137,295
Ezio Bonvini, M.D.	40	185,764	76	141,180
Eric Risser	40	171,953	79	135,327
Thomas Spitznagel, Ph.D.	40	164,965	80	132,302

(1) Target bonus percentages are set as a percentage of the named executive officer’s base salary.

(2) Performance achievement percentage for 2021 reflects weighted combined 2021 Company and individual performance, which includes Compensation Committee discretion based on factors as described above.

(3) Amounts were paid in the first quarter of 2022.

(4) The Chief Executive Officer’s annual incentive cash bonus is based solely on achievement of the 2021 Company performance objectives and the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Equity Awards

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. According to our peer group analysis, as described above, stock option awards are the most prevalent long-term incentive equity vehicle utilized by the Company’s peer group, although restricted stock unit grants are also common. The Company’s 2013 Plan permits granting specified types of equity incentives other than stock options. Accordingly, in February 2022, based on this market data, the Compensation Committee determined to allow our named executive officers to choose to receive a portion of their equity awards in restricted stock units instead of receiving the entire grant as stock options. In February 2022, the Compensation Committee awarded to Dr. Bonvini his annual equity award as a mix of restricted stock units and stock options.

The Compensation Committee believes these equity awards encourage retention and align compensation for our named executive officers with the long-term objectives of the Company. As the stock option holder only receives value if our stock price appreciates, the Compensation Committee believes stock options promote pay for performance. Further, as restricted stock units become owned shares outright after a vesting period, the value of which will fluctuate based on the stock performance, the Compensation Committee believes restricted stock units promote pay for performance. The Compensation Committee also retains discretion to make additional targeted equity awards, in the form of options or other types of awards, in certain circumstances.

The annual equity grants, and any discretionary additional targeted equity awards to our executive officers, are evaluated by the Compensation Committee in the context of each executive officer’s total compensation and take into account the market data provided by Aon in addition to the individual employment situation of each executive officer. In the case of 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. Our annual equity grants to executive officers are typically awarded on the date that the Compensation Committee approves the grant. We set the option exercise price and the number of restricted stock unit shares granted 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. Restricted stock unit vesting is typically 25% one year after the date of grant and 75% two years after the date of grant. 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.

The Compensation Committee retains the discretion to issue grants of these and other types of incentives under this plan based on market data provided by Aon, the individual employment situation of each named executive officer and the best interests of the Company

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We do not offer perquisites to our named executive officers. 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.

Tax and Accounting Implications

In evaluating compensation program alternatives, the Compensation Committee considers the potential impact on the Company of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) eliminates the deductibility of compensation over $1 million paid to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and three other most highly-compensated named executive officers (other than the chief executive officer or chief financial officer), unless the compensation qualifies for certain grandfathered exceptions (including the “performance-based compensation” exception) for certain compensation paid pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 and not materially modified on or after such date.

To the extent a named executive officer would otherwise earn over $1 million in compensation in any calendar year, the Compensation Committee generally endeavors to maximize deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) to the extent practicable while maintaining a competitive, performance-based compensation program. However, tax consequences are subject to many factors (such as changes in the tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof and the timing and nature of various decisions by officers regarding stock options) that are beyond the control of either the Compensation Committee or the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important for it to retain maximum flexibility in designing compensation programs that meet its stated objectives and fit within the Compensation Committee’s guiding principles. Also, the actual impact of the loss of

deduction for compensation paid to these named executive officers over the $1 million limitation may be small and have a de minimis impact on the Company’s overall tax position. For these and other reasons, the Compensation Committee, while considering tax deductibility as a factor in determining compensation, will not limit compensation to those levels or types that will be deductible when it believes doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our insider trading policy prohibits all directors, officers and employees from pledging or engaging in hedging or similar transactions in our stock, including but not limited to prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, puts, margin accounts or trading, calls and short sales.

Recoupment of Incentive Compensation Policy

In February 2021, our Board adopted a policy designed to allow for the recoupment of certain cash and equity compensation in the event of certain misconduct by our current and former Section 16 officers. The policy allows for the recoupment of compensation that is granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the attainment of certain financial reporting measures. We may recover such compensation in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement, the noncompliance to which a current or former Section 16 officer of the Company knowingly contributes through misconduct, which includes if the officer violates SEC rules and regulations, Company policy, or willfully commits an act of fraud, dishonesty, gross recklessness or gross negligence in the performance of their duties, as determined by the final disposition of any related action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other completed proceeding.

Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines

In February 2022, our Board adopted a revised Officer and Director Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines (the “Stock Ownership Guidelines”), whereby our executive officers and our non-management members of our Board are encouraged to own shares of Company stock in order to promote the alignment of our executive officers and directors with the long-term interests of our stockholders and to further promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. The Stock Ownership Guidelines require the Company's Chief Executive Officer, members of our Board and other Section 16 officers to own a target number of shares (i.e.,(1) shares owned directly (including through open market purchases), (2) shares underlying restricted stock units and restricted stock awards (other than unearned portions of performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards), (3) shares owned jointly with or separately by the individual’s spouse; and (4) shares held in trust for the benefit of the individual, the individual’s spouse, and/or the individual’s children). Our Chief Executive Officer is required to achieve a target stock ownership of Company stock that has a value equal to three times the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary. Our Section 16 officers are required to achieve a target stock ownership of Company stock that has a value equal to one times their base salary. Members of our Board are required to achieve a target stock ownership of Company stock that has a value equal to three times the Board annual retainer fees. Members of our Board, our Chief Executive Officer and our other Section 16 officers must be in compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines within five years of the Stock Ownership Guidelines becoming effective to them.

Compensation Risk Assessment

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 long- and short-term performance goals.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement with management. Based on our Committee’s review of and the discussions with management with respect to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview of Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had employment agreements in place with each of its named executive officers. The employment agreements provide for certain payments upon a named executive officer’s termination, as described below. All of the named executive officers are “at-will” employees, which means they have no definitive terms of employment.

Dr. Koenig

In October 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Koenig.

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. 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, absent or in connection with a Change of Control (each as defined below).

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

Termination occurs within Two Years Following a Change of Control

24 months of base salary and target bonus (as in effect immediately prior to termination)

24 months (or until Dr. Koenig obtains other employment which provides the same type of benefit, if earlier)

The following definitions are used in Dr. Koenig’s 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.

• “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.

• “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 the 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.

Mr. Karrels

In October 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Karrels.

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. 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, absent or in connection with a Change of Control.

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

Drs. Bonvini and Spitznagel and Mr. Risser

In the first quarter of 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with each of Dr. Bonvini and Mr. Risser. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Spitznagel.

Each of their employment agreements includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that will prohibit that individual 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. Each individual is also subject to confidentiality and invention disclosure and assignment obligations.

Each of these individuals is also eligible to receive severance benefits in specified circumstances. Upon his death or termination for disability, each of Drs. Bonvini and Spitznagel and Mr. Risser would be eligible to receive any earned but unpaid bonus obligation relating to the prior fiscal year and certain other accrued but unpaid obligations. Under the terms of each 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, each such individual will be entitled to severance benefits if we terminate his employment without Cause or if he terminates employment with us for Good Reason, absent or in connection with a Change of Control.

The employment agreement for each of Drs. Bonvini and Spitznagel and Mr. Risser contains substantially similar definitions of the terms “Cause,” “Change of Control” and “Good Reason” as those defined in Dr. Koenig’s agreement, discussed above, except that the definition of “Good Reason” in these individuals’ agreements includes a material change in geographic location of his employment of at least 50 miles from our Rockville, Maryland headquarters with no ability to telecommute. The table below summarizes the schedule of severance benefits each of these individuals would receive in the event of a qualifying termination.

The definition of “Disability” in the employment agreement for each of Drs. Bonvini and Spitznagel and Mr. Risser is as follows: (a) the executive being determined to be totally disabled as defined by guidelines of the then-existing Company disability insurance plan in which the executive is participating, or (b) a determination by the Social Security Administration that the executive is “totally disabled” or (c) the executive’s inability to engage in comparable professional activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months.

(1) Amounts include salary continuation and bonus, if applicable, under the terms of the named executive officer's employment agreement.

(2) The value of accelerated vesting for stock option awards is equal to the closing share price of our common stock of $16.05 per share on December 31, 2021, as reported on the Nasdaq, less the stock option exercise price, multiplied by the number of unvested options subject to accelerated vesting. The value of accelerated vesting of unvested RSUs is based upon the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021, as reported on the Nasdaq, multiplied by the number of units.

CEO PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of

Regulation S-K, the Company is required to disclose the ratio of our principal executive officer’s annual total compensation

to the annual total compensation of our median employee. During fiscal year 2021, the principal executive officer of

MacroGenics was our President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D. For 2021, the annual total

compensation for Dr. Koenig was $4,868,514 and for our median employee was $134,627, resulting in an estimated pay

ratio of approximately 36:1.

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we identified the median employee by (i) aggregating for each

applicable employee (A) annual base salary as of December 31, 2021, or hourly rate multiplied by target work schedule,

for hourly employees; (B) the target bonus for 2021; and (C) equity received in 2021; and (ii) ranking this compensation

measure for our employees from lowest to highest. This calculation was performed for all employees, excluding Dr.

Koenig, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our

internal records and the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median compensated

employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a

variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their

employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to

the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and

may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. In addition,

we expect the Company’s annually reported pay ratio may vary significantly year over year, given the size of the Company

and the potential variability in Company employee compensation.

INFORMATION ABOUT EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The following table provides certain information as of December 31, 2021, with respect to all of our equity compensation plans in effect on that date.
