			Exhibit 10.1
		

		
			AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) by and between INCYTE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and HERVÉ HOPPENOT (the “Executive”), dated as of the 28th day of February, 2019.
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into the Employment Agreement dated as of January 11, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”); and
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides that the Company would pay the premiums for life and disability insurance policies designed to compensate the Executive for certain components of equity awards from his previous employer that he forfeited when joining the Company, with the six-year period for such insurance the same as the vesting period for the one-time grant of restricted stock units (the “RSU Grant”) that the Executive received when he joined the Company; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Executive has suggested, and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, at its January 28, 2019 meeting, has agreed, that given that the disability insurance policy requires renewal in March 2019 and the last portion of the RSU Grant is scheduled to vest on December 31, 2019, the disability insurance policy can lapse and the Company can cancel the life insurance policy;
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
		

		
			 
		

		
			Effective as of February 28, 2019, Section 3(e) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to delete the last four sentences thereof, so that Section 3(e) as amended reads in its entirety as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)Death or Disability.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period or the Change in Control Employment Period due to the death or Disability of the Executive, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than for (i) Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits; and (ii) the Signing Bonus, to the extent not theretofore paid.  In such case, all amounts due and owing to the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be paid to the Executive or the Executive’s estate in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of written notice of the Executive’s death from the executor of the Executive’s estate or the Disability Effective Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which constitute one and the same agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			[SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and the Company, through its duly authorized Officer, have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

			Dear Christiana:
		

		
			 
		

		
			It is with great pleasure that we offer you the position of Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer at Incyte Corporation.  In this position you will report directly to Hervé Hoppenot, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer.  The terms of this offer are set forth in this letter.  Should you accept our offer, your salary will be $21,538.46 per bi-weekly pay period (equivalent to $560,000.00 on an annualized basis).  This is a salaried, exempt position, as your salary covers compensation for all hours worked.  As an incentive for joining Incyte, we offer a signing bonus of $280,000.00.  You agree that if you voluntarily terminate your employment or are terminated for cause within one year from your start date, you will repay the bonus amount to Incyte.  Performance evaluations will be conducted annually.
		

		
			 
		

		
			You are eligible to participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP), an annual cash incentive plan.  Employees are assigned a “Funding Target”, based on their job category, as a percent of base pay.   As an Executive Vice President, your funding target is 50%. Your individual award will be based on Company Performance vs. Company Goals, and your Individual Performance vs. your Individual Goals.  Actual awards are variable and could be more or less than your individual funding target and may be prorated based on your start date.  This cash incentive plan is subject to ongoing approval by the company’s Board of Directors, and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time at their sole discretion. In order to have been eligible for a 2018 bonus, you must have begun employment prior to November 1, 2018.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In lieu of a relocation package, we will pay your weekly round trip travel to Boston for 3 years from your start date.  We will also work with you to accommodate the flexible work arrangement that we discussed.
		

		
			 
		

		
			As a valued employee of Incyte, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, you will receive equity awards under the Incyte 2010 Stock Option Plan with an aggregate award value of $3,300,000, seventy-five (75%) of your grant in the form of options to purchase the Company’s common stock and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The number of Stock Options shall be calculated and granted to you on your start date.  The RSUs will also be awarded to you on your start date.  The specific terms and conditions of this grant including exercise price and vesting conditions will be set forth in an Equity Grant Agreement to be entered into between you and the Company.   
		

		
			 
		

		
			As was discussed in the interview process, Incyte offers employees and their eligible dependents a variety of group health insurance benefits.  Effective on your first day of employment, you will be eligible for these benefits which currently include medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurances.  An outline of our benefit package is enclosed.  The premium costs of these benefits for employees are currently being paid by Incyte.  Incyte offers a 401(k) Plan available for your participation effective on your first day of employment.   Paid Time Off (PTO) accrues quarterly to a maximum of 20 days (160 hours) per 12-month period with 4 years of service or less, to a maximum of 25 days (200 hours) for years 5 through 9, and a maximum of 30 days (240 hours) for year 10 and beyond.  These hours are accrued the first day of each quarter.  As a new hire, you will accrue a full 5 days (40 hours) of PTO for the quarter in which 

		 

 

you start. Information about these programs and other Company benefits along with guidelines concerning employment are contained in Incyte’s Employee Handbook.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			You will receive a Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”) as in the form attached as Appendix A in your onboarding packet which will be sent to you electronically prior to your start date.  As a condition of your employment with Incyte, you are required to electronically sign the Confidentiality Agreement protecting Incyte's proprietary and competitive information prior to your start date.  This offer of employment is subject to your acceptance of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.    Please note that your employment with Incyte, if accepted, will be on an “at will” basis, meaning that either you or the Company can terminate the employment relationship for any reason at any time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			This offer of employment is contingent upon your being able to provide Incyte with documentation that verifies your identity and employment eligibility on the date that you report to work.  This offer of employment is also contingent on the Company receiving satisfactory background checks.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Christiana, we would be delighted by your decision to join Incyte Corporation and we look forward to your acceptance of this offer of employment.  We believe Incyte offers an exciting and challenging opportunity. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			In order to confirm your agreement with and acceptance of these terms, please fax your signed acceptance letter to the confidential Human Resources Department fax: 302-425-2704 or scan it to Bonnie Croce at bcroce@incyte.com.  In the meantime, should you have any questions about our offer or about the Company more generally, please contact either of us.
