PART III



|Item 10. | Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
|-------- | ------------------------------------------------------

Our Directors

The following is a brief biography of each director and their ages as of April 30, 2016.



|                    |  |     |  |                                                
|------------------- |  | --- |  | -----------------------------------------------
|Name                |  | Age |  | Principal Occupation/Position Held With Us     
|David Bell          |  | 61  |  | Director                                       
|Igor Gonda          |  | 68  |  | President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
|Frederick M. Hudson |  | 70  |  | Director                                       
|John M. Siebert     |  | 76  |  | Director                                       
|Virgil D. Thompson  |  | 76  |  | Chairman and Director                          

David Bell has been a director since August 2013. He currently serves as Corporate Vice President of
Grifols S.A. and General Counsel of Grifols Inc. He joined Grifols when it entered the U.S. market in 2003. Prior to joining Grifols, Mr. Bell was General Counsel to Alpha Therapeutic Corporation following a 23-year career as a corporate
litigator. Mr. Bell has been proposed for nomination by Grifols pursuant to its rights under the Governance Agreement entered into with us in August 2013 (the Governance Agreement). We believe that Mr. Bell is qualified to
serve as a member of our Board because of his legal experience, experience in the pharmaceutical industry and the perspective he brings as an affiliate of one of our major shareholders.

Igor Gonda, Ph.D. has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since August 2006 and as a director since September 2001.
From December 2001 to August 2006, Dr. Gonda was the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Acrux Limited, a publicly traded specialty pharmaceutical company located in Melbourne, Australia. From July 2001 to December 2001,
Dr. Gonda was our Chief Scientific Officer and, from October 1995 to July 2001, was our Vice President, Research and Development. From February 1992 to September 1995, Dr. Gonda was a Senior Scientist and Group Leader at Genentech, Inc.
His key responsibilities at Genentech were the development of the inhalation delivery of rhDNase (Pulmozyme) for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and non-parenteral methods of delivery of biologics. Prior to that, Dr. Gonda held academic
positions at the University of Aston in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and the University of Sydney, Australia. Dr. Gonda holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Leeds University, United Kingdom. Dr. Gonda was the
Chairman of our Scientific Advisory Board until August 2006. We believe that Dr. Gonda possesses specific attributes that qualify him to serve as a member of our Board, including his experience in leading publicly traded pharmaceutical
companies, his tenure with our Company and his knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry. Under the terms of the Governance Agreement, Dr. Gondas service on the Board is required for as long as he remains our President and Chief Executive
Officer.

##### Table of Contents

Below is a description of each committee of the Board. The Board has determined that each member
of each committee meets the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations regarding independence and that each member is free of any relationship that would impair his individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to our business and
operations.

Audit Committee

The
Audit Committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of our independent registered public
accounting firm. In this role, it determines and approves the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent registered public accounting firm or to appoint and
engage a new independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee reviews and approves the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of
partners of the independent registered public accounting firm on our audit engagement team as required by law; confers with management and our independent registered public accounting firm regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting, and establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and
anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. The Committee reviews the financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly financial statements on Form 10-Q
and discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the results of the annual audit. Currently, three directors comprise the Audit Committee: Mr. Hudson (chair), Dr. Siebert and Mr. Thompson. The Audit
Committee is governed by a written charter that is available to shareholders on our website at investor.aradigm.com.

The Board annually
reviews the NASDAQ listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members and has determined that all members of our Audit Committee are independent in accordance with NASDAQ listing standards. The Board has determined that
Mr. Hudson qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in applicable rules of the SEC.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board reviews and recommends to the Board the overall compensation strategy and policies for us. The
Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers and other senior management; reviews and recommends to the Board the compensation and other
terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer; reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the compensation and other terms of employment of the other officers; and oversees the administration of our equity compensation plans, health
benefit plans, deferred compensation plans and other similar programs. Three directors currently comprise the Compensation Committee: Messrs. Hudson and Thompson and Dr. Siebert (chair). All members of our Compensation Committee are independent
in accordance with NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee is governed by a written charter that is available to shareholders on our website at investor.aradigm.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve as
directors (consistent with criteria approved by the Board), recommending to the Board candidates for election and reelection to the Board, making recommendations to the Board regarding the membership of the committees of the Board, assessing the
performance of the Board and its committees and monitoring compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Currently, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of two directors: Dr. Siebert and Mr. Thompson
(chair). All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent in accordance

with NASDAQ listing standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is governed by a written charter that is available to shareholders on our website at investor.aradigm.com.

Any potential candidates for director nominees, including candidates recommended by shareholders, are reviewed in the context of the current
composition of the Board, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of shareholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers such factors as it deems appropriate given our current needs
and those of our Board, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews directors overall service during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of
participation and quality of performance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee performs periodic Board and Committee self-assessments to provide directors an opportunity to critique Board and Committee performance. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee would be independent, which determination is based upon applicable NASDAQ listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then compiles a list of potential candidates from suggestions it may receive, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm to generate additional suggestions. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates as it deems appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and
consider such candidates qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board have from time to time received and considered
suggestions from shareholders for nominations to the Board, the Committee has received no suggestions for which disclosure is required in this proxy statement.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders in the same manner as it considers recommendations from other sources. Shareholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by delivering a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: 3929 Point Eden Way, Hayward, California 94545 at least
60 days prior, but no more than 90 days prior, to the anniversary date of the last annual meeting of shareholders. Submissions should include the full name of the proposed nominee, a description of the proposed nominees business experience for
at least the previous five years, complete biographical information, a description of the proposed nominees qualifications as a director and a representation that the nominating shareholder is a beneficial or record owner of our stock.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not established specific minimum qualifications for recommended nominees or specific
qualities or skills for one or more of our directors to possess. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a subjective process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, based on the information available to, and the
subjective judgments of, the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our then current needs for the Board as a whole. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not believe there would be any difference in the
manner in which it evaluates nominees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder or by the current Committee process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the needs for the Board as a whole when identifying
and evaluating nominees and, among other things, considers diversity in background, age, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills in identifying nominees, although it does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity.
See Qualifications of Directors and Nominees for a description of the diversity of our current directors and nominees.

|Item 11. | Executive Compensation
|-------- | ----------------------

Overview

The policies of the Compensation Committee, or the Committee, with respect to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, including
Dr. Gonda, the Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Pecota, the Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Froehlich, the Chief Medical Officer, are designed to provide compensation sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding
ability in our area of focus. It is the Committees intent to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value. To meet these goals, the Committee recommends an executive compensation
package to our Board that is based on a mix of salary, cash incentive awards, annual equity awards and performance equity incentive awards that focus on Aradigms longer term objective that will significantly impact shareholder value in a
positive way. Completing the development and obtaining regulatory approval in a timely and cost effective manner for our investigational drug Pulmaquin is the Companys most important performance objective and is the focus of our executive
team.

Overall, the Board and the Committee seek to provide total compensation packages that provide incentives and are competitive in
terms of total potential value to our executives. The Committees objective is to tailor our programs to the unique characteristics of our Company in order to create an executive compensation program that will adequately reward our executives
for their roles in creating value for our shareholders. The Board and the Committee intend to provide executive compensation packages that are competitive with other similarly situated companies in our industry.

The Board and the Committee believe that performance-based compensation, both cash and equity, is the most important component of the total
executive compensation package for maximizing shareholder value while, at the same time, attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives.

Following the Pulmaquin asset being licensed to Grifols in late 2013, the Committee now believes that the execution of the Pulmaquin
development program and the approval of Pulmaquin in a timely and cost effective manner should be the focus. Given the Companys current financial situation, market capitalization and the Companys proposed development and business plan,
the Committee and the Board believe that performance-based equity compensation and cash compensation payable upon the achievement of Pulmaquin development and approval goals are important tools to motivate the Companys executive officers in
2015 and beyond.

Outcome of Previous Say on Pay Voting Results

At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, over 99% of votes cast for the say on pay proposal approved our compensation program as described
in our 2014 proxy statement. The Committee and Board believe that shareholders support our compensation policies. Therefore, we continued to apply the same general compensation principles in 2015.

At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we also held a say when on pay vote to determine the frequency with which we will hold
the say on pay vote. Of the votes cast, 19% supported a frequency of one year and 81% supported a frequency of three years. Because the clear preference of our shareholders is to have a say on pay vote every three years, our next say on pay vote
will be held at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Compensation Consultants

Through 2014 and part of 2015, the Committee retained the services of Setren, Smallberg & Associates, a compensation consultant
(Setren), in order to establish a multi-year compensation plan consistent with the objectives of getting Pulmaquin approved and into the global marketplace with Grifols. In determining compensation levels for 2014 and 2015, the Committee
considered data that Setren presented to the Committee and small life science companies compensation survey that Radford Consulting compiled (the Radford Survey).

##### Table of Contents

In 2015, the Committee also retained the services of Compensia, Inc., an independent compensation
consultant, to advise the Committee on the development of a peer group of similarly situated, public life sciences companies to use for comparison of compensation levels for directors and officers.

Compensation Components

Base
Salary. Our practice is that management presents to the Committee its initial recommendations for executive salary levels and the Committee and Board determine whether to adjust these base salary recommendations to realign such salaries after
taking into account individual responsibilities, performance, and experience, and reviewing data that the compensation consultants provide to the Committee, as well as peer group surveys such as the Radford Survey and the Society for Human Resources
Management survey.

The Committee continued to agree with the consultants recommendation that cash compensation for Aradigm
executives should be adjusted over the following two years, assuming that the executives achieved the target performance objectives, to be at the 50th percentile level as compared to other
similarly situated companies based on data that the consultants provided and other relevant information. In January 2015, the Board approved an increase to the executives base salary for 2015 as follows: Dr. Gonda to $410,000,
Ms. Pecota to $336,000 and Dr. Froehlich to $395,000.

Executive Bonus Plan. The executive bonus plan allows the Board
and Committee to set performance objectives over a pre-established performance period in order to incentivize the executives to focus on the achievement of goals, whether long-term or annual, that could be significant value creation events for our
shareholders. Performance objectives focused on partnering our programs, raising non-dilutive capital, advancing the inhaled ciprofloxacin program, managing expenses and achieving other significant strategic objectives. Awards are paid upon
achievement of the objective or objectives in the form of cash and/or equity awards. The executives have been provided the opportunity to receive an equity award in the form of a stock option which Black-Scholes value is 125% of the value of the
cash award. The elected stock option would vest quarterly over three years. Any equity grants awarded in connection with the Executive Bonus Plan are issued under equity plan in effect at the time of Committee approval.

For 2015, the Committee determined to leave the target cash bonus awards (as a percentage of annual salary) unchanged from 2014, which set
target cash bonus awards (as a percentage of annual salary) of 50% for Dr. Gonda and 40% for each of Ms. Pecota and Dr. Froehlich. For 2015, the Committee determined the specific corporate performance goals to be achieved for the
executives bonus awards to be earned, with an emphasis on incentivizing management to meet certain goals that could insure rapid completion of the Pulmaquin clinical trials. Based on an analysis of the achievement of the performance goals
during 2015, the Committee determined that Dr. Gonda would not receive a cash bonus award, and that Ms. Pecota and Dr. Froehlich achieved 65% each of their target bonus awards, which resulted in a cash payment of $87,360 and $102,700,
respectively, under the plan.

Executive Equity Awards. Through early 2015, we generally granted equity awards under our 2005
Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan), and after May 14, 2015 we began granting equity awards under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (2015 Plan), which was adopted by our Board and approved by our shareholders. All options
granted under the 2005 Plan and the 2015 Plan have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

The Board and the Committee believe that providing a significant portion of our executives total compensation package in stock options
and restricted stock awards aligns the incentives of our executives with the interests of our shareholders and with the long-term success of the Company. The Board and the Committee have developed their expectations with respect to future grants of
equity award based on several judgments:



| | 1. | Prior to 2014, executives had not received equity grants commensurate with their peers because of limited availability of shares.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | 2. | Our compensation consultants have provided current data that indicated our executives were low in equity compensation compared to comparable companies based on the Radford Survey and other peer group surveys.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | The Committee believed a long term plan should be instituted to provide our executives the appropriate equity compensation in the form of annual stock option grants, as well as short term and long term performance
equity awards, to align their interests with the interests of shareholders.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2015, the Committee continued the previous
plan of making annual stock option grants to bring the level of equity ownership of the executive officers to a level of approximately the 75th percentile of the Radford Survey for annual equity
grants, and made its recommendation to the Board. It is the Committees expectation that this equity grant level will continue until the executives reach a level equivalent to the 75th
percentile for total equity compensation based on market information, such as peer group information, information from the compensation consultants and the Radford Survey. The Committee expects that it will take several years before this objective
is achieved.

In light of these goals, the Committee recommended and Board approved in January 2015 the grant of 42,857 options to
Dr. Gonda, 17,857 options to Ms. Pecota and 11,429 options to Dr. Froehlich, and in March 13, 2015 the grant of 27,666 options to Dr. Gonda, 20,750 options to Ms. Pecota and 25,246 options to Dr. Froehlich. The
January 2015 options vest in equal quarterly installments over three years from the date of grant, and the March 2015 options vest one-third on the anniversary of the date of grant and then in equal quarterly installments over the following two
years. Each option has a term of ten years.

The dramatic decrease in the Companys stock price from November 2015 to present has
affected the value of stock options granted prior to that period in a negative way. The Committee has re-evaluated equity bonus awards for management and intends to provide a significant increase in the performance component of the equity award
program in 2016.

Special Re-Grants of Performance-Based Vested Equity Grants.

In May 2015, our shareholders approved the 2015 Plan. On September 1, 2015, the Board approved (1) the cancellation of all
outstanding performance stock options to the Companys named executive officers that were granted in February 2014 (the Cancelled Options) under the 2005 Plan, and (2) the grant of performance stock options (the New
Options) under the 2015 Plan. The New Options are subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the Cancelled Options, including exercise price, performance-based vesting conditions and expiration date. The Cancelled Options were
exercisable for an aggregate of 154,997 shares, which takes into account the 1-for-40 reverse stock split effected in May 2014 (the Stock Split), of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $9.60 per share, and would have
vested, if at all, only upon the satisfaction of specified performance milestones, which have not occurred. The exercise price of the New Options is also $9.60 per share, which was greater than the Companys shares closing trading price
on NASDAQ on the Grant Date of the New Options.

The Board also (a) cancelled a grant of options exercisable for 12,500 shares, which
takes into account the Stock Split, that was awarded in February 2014 to the Dr. Gonda, outside of a shareholder-approved plan prior to the Companys re-listing on NASDAQ (the Stand-Alone Grant), and (b) granted
Dr. Gonda options exercisable for 12,500 shares (the New Gonda Options) under the 2015 Plan. The New Gonda Options are subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the Stand-Alone Grant, including exercise price,
performance-based vesting conditions and expiration date.

As a result of these actions, all outstanding performance-based stock options
granted to our executive officers are governed by the terms and conditions of the shareholder-approved 2015 Plan.

Severance Benefits. The Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, previously adopted an
Amended and Restated Executive Officer Severance Plan, dated as of December 31, 2008, and approved change of control agreements with each of our executive officers, the terms of which are more fully described below in the section entitled
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control. The Board and the Committee believe these severance and change in control benefits are an essential element of our executive compensation package and assist us in recruiting and
retaining talented individuals. Our business is inherently risky and the Board and the Committee believe the severance benefits encourage our executives to take necessary but reasonable business risks to increase shareholder value. The Board and the
Committee believe the change of control benefits align our executives interests more greatly in favor of corporate liquidity events that can be potentially valuable to our shareholders. They have established these severance and change of
control benefits at levels that they feel are comparable to benefits offered to executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at comparable companies.

In addition, upon recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved in November 2015 an amendment to outstanding long-term performance-based
equity grants that would allow some of the vesting of the performance-based equity grants should the performance milestones be met within a year following a termination of the executive officer without cause. The post-termination vesting is intended
to reward an affected executive officer for the efforts that the officer has put toward achieving the performance goals up to the time of termination, accordingly, the amount of vesting is ratably reduced each month over the twelve month
post-termination period.

Other Compensation. Each of our executives is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans,
including medical, dental, life insurance, employee stock purchase and 401(k) plans. These plans are available to all employees and do not discriminate in favor of executive officers. It is generally our policy to not extend significant perquisites
to our executives that are not available to our employees generally.

We do not offer any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans
or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

The Board has adopted, in writing, a policy and procedures for the review of related person transactions. Any related person transaction we
propose to enter into must be reported to our Chief Financial Officer and, unless otherwise reviewed and approved by the Board, shall be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the terms of the policy, prior to effectiveness
or consummation of any related person transaction, whenever practicable. The policy defines a related person transaction as any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness),
or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which Aradigm (i) was or is to be a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and (iii) a Related Person (as defined therein) had or will have a
direct or indirect material interest. In addition, any related person transaction previously approved by the Audit Committee or otherwise already existing that is ongoing in nature shall be reviewed by the Audit Committee annually to ensure that
such related person transaction has been conducted in accordance with the previous approval granted by the Audit Committee, if any, and that all required disclosures regarding the related person transaction are made. Transactions involving
compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee in the manner specified in the charter of the Compensation Committee. As appropriate for the circumstances, the Audit Committee shall review and consider
the Related Persons interest in the related person transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount of the Related Persons interest in the
transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss, whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business, whether the transaction with the Related Person is proposed to be, or was, entered into on terms no less
favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party, the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of the transaction and any other information regarding the related person transaction or the Related
Person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

We have engaged the law firm Hogan Lovells US LLP (Hogan Lovells) to provide legal services to the Company. An immediate family
member of Virgil Thompson, one of our directors and our Chairman, is a partner at Hogan Lovells. We incurred no expenses for services performed by Hogan Lovells during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. We anticipate that the value of
services to be performed by Hogan Lovells during the current fiscal year will exceed $120,000.
