Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan"
stock appreciation rights financial
"the Company may grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards"
Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a form of employee compensation that give the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's stock price over a set baseline, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy the stock. For investors, SARs matter because they can create future cash outflows or share dilution and signal how a company rewards and motivates executives — similar to giving a bonus tied directly to how well the company’s stock performs.
restricted stock unit awards financial
"stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards"
Restricted stock unit awards are company promises to deliver a specific number of shares to employees or service providers in the future once conditions—such as staying with the company for a set time or meeting performance targets—are met. They matter to investors because when the promises convert into actual shares they increase the total share count and can reduce earnings per share, while also aligning recipients’ interests with stock performance much like deferred pay that turns into ownership if goals are met.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
broker non-votes financial
"Votes were cast as follows | For | Withheld | Broker Non-Votes"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
pre-funded warrants financial
"share reserve automatically increases ... by an amount equal to 5% of the Company’s fully diluted shares (including outstanding pre-funded warrants)"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 17, 2026, Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2022 Plan”), which previously had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to stockholder approval. The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan.

 

The purposes of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan are to secure and retain the services of employees, non-employee directors and consultants, provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its affiliates, and provide such persons with an opportunity to benefit from increases in the value of the Company’s common stock through the granting of equity-based awards.

 

Under the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan is 8,606,723 shares, which includes an increase of 3,000,000 shares approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. In addition, under the terms of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan, the share reserve automatically increases on January 1 of each year through 2032 by an amount equal to 5% of the Company’s fully diluted shares (including outstanding pre-funded warrants) outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, unless the Board determines a lesser increase for a given year.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated 2022 Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
