Xilio Therapeutics Form 4 details new CMO grant and repricing
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Xilio Therapeutics (XLO) reported an equity compensation update for its chief medical officer. Under the new 2025 Stock Incentive Plan, approved by stockholders on November 21, 2025, the officer received a stock option for 625,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.841 per share. These options vest in 36 equal monthly installments starting December 21, 2025, so the grant is earned gradually over three years.
The filing also records a one-time option repricing effective November 21, 2025. Several existing stock options with higher exercise prices, including grants for 44,210 and 106,000 shares, were modified so that the exercise price is reduced to $1.50 per share. If any repriced option is exercised before November 21, 2026, the original, higher exercise price still applies, while all other vesting and expiration terms remain unchanged.
