More detail
This advisory, non-binding proposal asks shareholders to approve MacroGenics’ named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement (say-on-pay). Management supports the proposal, stating their executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, and retain executives through a mix of cash and equity with pay-for-performance features, and the Board will consider the advisory vote results when making future compensation decisions. The proxy provides details on the compensation philosophy, use of equity awards, target bonus structures and 2025 outcomes, including base salaries, bonuses, equity grants, and severance arrangements and notes prior strong shareholder support for say-on-pay votes. The proposal requires a majority of votes cast to pass and the Board recommends a vote FOR.

Approval of the Amendment to the MacroGenics, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan
ManagementBoard: FORApprove an amendment to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 1,250,000 shares.
More detail
This management proposal requests shareholder approval to increase the share reserve of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan by 1,250,000 shares (from 8,100,000 to 9,350,000 in total). Management argues the increase is necessary to continue granting options, RSUs and other equity awards to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and consultants in a competitive biopharma labor market and to support the company’s near-term equity needs (estimated to last 1–2 years). The filing discloses current plan runway (1,279,465 shares remaining as of March 27, 2026), overhang, multi-year burn rate (~5.44% in 2025), governance protections like no repricing without shareholder approval, clawback policy, no discounted options, and anti-liberal share recycling provisions to mitigate dilution risk. The Board recommends a vote FOR, explaining equity awards align employee incentives with stockholder interests and are preferable to cash compensation. The proposal requires a majority of votes cast for approval.
