Effective as of July 16, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Chris Nolet to serve as a member of the Board for the term expiring at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Mr. Nolet’s appointment was recommended to the Board by its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Nolet will also serve as a member of the Audit Committee and, effective as of mid-August 2019, as Chair of such committee.

In accordance with the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”), Mr. Nolet is entitled to receive a $40,000 annual retainer for service as a Board member and an additional $10,000 annual retainer for service as a member of the Audit Committee ($20,000 following his designation as Chair of such committee). Effective as of July 16, 2019, Mr. Nolet was granted an option to purchase 18,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan with an exercise price equal to $12.32 and 9,000 shares of restricted common stock. The option and stock award will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Nolet’s continued service as a director through the vesting date.

The Company also entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Nolet. The indemnification agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify Mr. Nolet for certain expenses which he may be required to pay in connection with certain claims to which he may be made a party by reason of his position as a director of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. The form of indemnification agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-193154), as amended, as filed on January 27, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Nolet and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a director of the Company.
