Karyopharm Therapeutics Grants Inducement Awards
Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a leading pharmaceutical firm dedicated to developing innovative cancer treatments, has announced significant inducement grants under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). As of July 31, 2025, the company granted 333 restricted stock units (RSUs) to a newly-hired employee, aimed at enhancing talent acquisition in the competitive pharmaceutical landscape.
This grant was made in accordance with Karyopharm's 2022 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan, amended to attract valuable personnel essential for the company's growth. The RSUs will vest over a three-year period, with one-third of the shares becoming accessible to the employee each year on the anniversary of the grant date. This structure encourages employee retention and performance, ensuring that the individual remains engaged with the firm during this vital period of development.
Additionally, these RSUs contain provisions for immediate vesting if a 'change in control' occurs within the first year and the employee's contract is terminated for “good reason” or without “cause.” Such measures reflect Karyopharm's commitment to protecting its workforce and ensuring that employees who contribute to the company's success are rewarded appropriately.
