FAQ

What did Kailera Therapeutics (KLRA) disclose in this Form 4 filing?

Kailera Therapeutics reported that CEO & President Ronald C. Renaud Jr. received two grants of stock options. Each grant covers 300,000 shares of common stock at a $16.00 exercise price, with vesting based on time and, for one grant, specific stock price performance conditions.

How many Kailera Therapeutics (KLRA) options were granted to the CEO?

The CEO received two stock option awards, each for 300,000 underlying shares of common stock. Both have a $16.00 exercise price and expire on April 16, 2036, but they vest under different schedules, including time-based vesting and performance-based vesting tied to future stock prices.

What is the vesting schedule for one of the KLRA CEO’s stock option grants?

One option grant vests 25% of the underlying shares on April 16, 2027. The remaining 75% then vests in 36 substantially equal monthly installments, provided Ronald C. Renaud Jr. continues serving the company through each applicable vesting date.

What performance conditions apply to the second Kailera (KLRA) stock option grant?

The second grant vests only if the company’s stock reaches $40 per share under defined conditions. Vesting can occur if the average daily closing price hits $40 during a 30-day period, or if a change in control transaction values the stock at $40, within the specified performance window.

When is the performance measurement period for the KLRA performance-based options?

The performance measurement period runs from October 16, 2026 through April 16, 2030. During this time, vesting can occur if pricing conditions are met, subject to Ronald C. Renaud Jr.’s continued service through the date when those performance conditions are satisfied.

What is the exercise price and expiration date for the KLRA CEO’s stock options?

Both stock option grants have an exercise price of $16.00 per share and an expiration date of April 16, 2036. These options give Ronald C. Renaud Jr. the right to buy Kailera common stock at that fixed price if the options vest and he chooses to exercise them.
