FAQ

What did CODEXIS (CDXS) disclose in this Form 4 filing?

CODEXIS reported that President and CEO Alison Moore received a stock option covering 993,000 shares. The derivative award involves no cash purchase at grant and is part of her equity-based compensation, aligning her interests with long-term company performance through future vesting.

How many CODEXIS (CDXS) shares are covered by Alison Moore’s new option?

The option grant covers 993,000 shares of CODEXIS common stock. This entire amount is subject to a multi-year vesting schedule, meaning Dr. Moore only gains exercisable rights to portions of these shares over time as specific vesting dates are reached.

What is the vesting schedule for Alison Moore’s 993,000-share option at CODEXIS (CDXS)?

The option vests 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date. The remaining shares vest in equal 1/48th installments each month thereafter, so full vesting occurs over four years if she remains continuously employed.

Is Alison Moore’s new CODEXIS (CDXS) option immediately exercisable?

No, the option is not fully exercisable at grant. Only after 25% vests on the first anniversary, and then 1/48th of the original total vests monthly, does she gain incremental exercisable rights, all conditioned on continued employment throughout the vesting period.

Does the Form 4 indicate any sale of CODEXIS (CDXS) shares by Alison Moore?

The filing reports an acquisition of a stock option award, not a sale of shares. The transaction code is “A,” described as a grant, award, or other acquisition, and involves a derivative security rather than an open-market purchase or disposition of existing common stock.

How is the ownership of the new option reported for CODEXIS (CDXS) CEO Alison Moore?

The Form 4 reports the option as directly owned by Alison Moore. After this grant, the total number of derivative securities reported for her in this specific option series is 993,000, reflecting the full amount of the newly awarded stock option.
