BridgeBio (NASDAQ: BBIO) schedules 2026 virtual meeting, pay and equity plan votes
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. will hold its 2026 annual stockholders meeting virtually on June 22, 2026, to vote on key governance and compensation items. Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 23, 2026, when 195,806,242 common shares were outstanding, may vote.
Proposals include electing three Class I directors, advisory votes on executive pay and the frequency of future say‑on‑pay votes, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for 2026, and approving an amendment to the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan to add 2,000,000 reserved shares. Director Randal W. Scott will not stand for re‑election, and the board size will be reduced from 14 to 13.
The company highlights a pay‑for‑performance philosophy: in 2025, 93% of CEO pay and 88% of CFO pay were at risk via bonuses and equity, and performance stock units and a stock ownership policy were added after prior say‑on‑pay support of about 75% and investor feedback.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Base Salary | Base salaries are fixed annual cash compensation established and reviewed annually with consideration for individual responsibilities and experience, competitive market data, and individual contributions. Base salaries are set to be competitive within our industry and are important in attracting and retaining talented executive officers. | ||
Annual Performance-based Bonus | The annual performance-based bonus opportunity is a variable, cash incentive program. It is intended to motivate and reward our executive officers for the achievement of key strategic goals of the Company. In determining the annual performance-based bonus for our CEO and CFO, our Compensation Committee reviews corporate performance and considers whether there have been any other extraordinary factors that should be considered in determining the amount of bonus earned for the year. Our Compensation Committee then reviews and approves bonus decisions for the CFO and the rest of the company. The Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to our Board of Directors on the bonus amount for the CEO based on the totality of the Company and individual performance. | ||
Long-Term Equity Incentives | Long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards incentivizes our executive officers to create sustainable long-term stockholder value, while also providing a retention vehicle for our top executive talent and promoting an ownership culture. Equity awards are granted in the form of time-based stock options, RSU awards and/or PSU awards. These awards are typically granted on an annual basis. | ||
What We Do | What We Don’t Do | ||
Pay for performance - structure a substantial portion of pay to be “at risk” and based on Company and individual performance | No excise tax reimbursement or “gross ups” in the event of a change in control | ||
Maintain a long-term strategic plan for equity compensation and avoid undue emphasis on short-term value creation | No significant health and welfare benefits or perquisites that are not available to all employees | ||
Retain an independent compensation consultant | No hedging or pledging of securities | ||
Review compensation peer group and analyze peer company executive pay regularly | No retirement programs other than our Section 401(k) retirement savings plan | ||
Maintain an independent Compensation Committee | |||
Conduct an annual say-on-pay vote | |||
Maintain a compensation clawback policy | |||
Maintain executive share ownership guidelines | |||
Provide “double-trigger” change in control benefits | |||
Grant a portion of the long-term incentive awards via equity awards that vest based on performance goals over a multi-year performance period | |||

(1) | Represents lump sum payment of 12 months of the executive’s base salary. Dr. Kumar is also entitled to receive a pro-rated bonus in the year of termination. However, although Dr. Kumar has a target annual bonus opportunity, such bonus for 2025 was discretionary and not determinable as of December 31, 2025. |
(2) | Represents, as applicable, the value of the acceleration of vesting of 100% of the executive’s unvested and outstanding restricted stock awards, stock options, time-based RSUs and any other equity awards of the Company that is subject to time-based vesting as of the date of such termination, all based on the closing price of $76.49 per share on December 31, 2025. The amount also represents the target value of PSUs that were credited on December 31, 2025, which were subsequently converted into time-based RSUs, and would vest in full if a qualifying termination occurred in connection with a change in control occurring on December 31, 2025. |

If, instead, the Converted RSUs are assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the change in control, then such Converted RSUs will vest at 50% upon the change in control, which would result in a payment of $4,948,903 and $1,042,941 for Drs.
