(d) On March 6, 2014, our Board, based on the recommendation of the nominating and governance committee of our Board (the “Governance Committee”), elected Jeffrey Berkowitz and Jose Baselga, M.D., Ph.D. as directors. Additionally, our Board, based on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, appointed Mr. Berkowitz to the Compensation Committee of our Board and Dr. Baselga to the Research and Development Committee of our Board. Their terms began on March 6, 2014 and will expire at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier death, resignation or removal. In connection with their commencement of service on our Board, Mr. Berkowitz and Dr. Baselga each were granted an option to purchase up to 30,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $14.29 per share, which is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. These options, which were granted under our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, will vest and become exercisable over a period of two years in equal quarterly installments beginning at the end of the first quarter after the date of grant, provided that each option holder continues to serve as a director.
