Exhibit 10.2

April 16, 2020

 

Mr. William R. Ringo

VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL

 

Dear Bill,

 

This letter amends the employment offer letter we entered into with you on
October 4, 2019, as amended October 8 and December 20, 2019 (the “Offer
Letter”).

 

You will continue as an employee of Five Prime through May 31, 2020.  We will
continue to pay you at an annualized base salary rate of $631,000 through April
30, 2020.  For the month of May 2020, we will pay you at an annualized base
salary rate of $315,500 in recognition of your reduced time commitment to Five
Prime during this transition period.

 

The determination of your target bonus under your Offer Letter will be revised
for your service as interim Chief Executive Officer and an employee of Five
Prime to be the sum of (i) 50% of the aggregate base salary we paid you through
February 29, 2020 as interim Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 60% of the
aggregate base salary we will have paid you through May 31, 2020 as an employee
of Five Prime.

 

We will pay you the $13,500 monthly cost of your short-term housing and
semi-monthly payment of $1,000 for the estimated cost of transportation that we
agreed to in the Offer Letter through April 30, 2020.  During the month of May
2020, however, you will not receive these payments for your short-term housing
or costs of transportation.  

 

We will grant you a Monthly Option (as that term is defined in the Offer Letter)
on or promptly after April 19, 2020 on the terms set forth in the Offer
Letter.  The Monthly Option to be granted on or promptly after May 19, 2020 will
be for a number of option shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) having
a fair value of $60,000 determined using a Black-Scholes factor of 61.7% and the
average closing price of a share of common stock for the 20 trading days
preceding May 19, 2020 (i.e. $60,000 ÷ (61.7% × such average closing price of a
share of common stock)).

 

To accept this amendment to your Offer Letter, please sign below.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc.
