Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 20, 2020 (“Effective Date”), upon
the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) of Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from
five (5) to seven (7) members, and effective upon the Effective Date, appointed both Dr. Gerd Auffarth and Julian Gangolli to fill
the newly created vacancies, with (i) Dr. Auffarth to serve on the Board as a Class II director until the Company’s 2021
annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) Mr. Gangolli to serve as a Class III director of the Board until the Company’s 2022
annual meeting of stockholders, and in each case, until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier
death, resignation or removal. Based upon the further recommendation of its Nominating Committee, the Board, effective upon the
Effective Date, appointed (i) Mr. Gangolli to serve as a member of both the Audit Committee of the Board, replacing Faisal G. Sukhtian,
and on the Executive Committee of the Board, and (2) Dr. Auffarth to serve as a member of the Nominating Committee, replacing Yezan
Haddadin. Mr. Sukhtian and Mr. Haddadin will continue to serve as members of the Board and on any other respective committees of
the Board to which they are appointed, for their respective terms. Neither Dr. Auffarth nor Mr. Gangolli were selected by the Board
to serve as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person.
Dr. Auffarth and Mr. Gangolli will receive compensation as non-employee directors in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy that took effect on October
1, 2019, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2020. Pursuant to the automatic grant program under such policy, each of
Dr. Auffarth and Mr. Gangolli were granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s
2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which vests annually over three-years, subject to each of Dr. Auffarth’s and Mr. Gangolli’s
continuous service through the applicable vesting dates, and acceleration in the event of a change of control as defined in the
plan. Such option grants have an exercise price of $0.72 per share (the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock
on April 20, 2020 as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market) and a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination for cessation
of continuous service.
In connection with the aforementioned appointments to the Board,
the Company entered into its standard indemnification agreement, which form indemnity agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the
Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-209011) filed with the SEC on January 15, 2016 with Dr. Auffarth
and Mr. Gangolli, which requires the Company, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, to indemnify the
indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against certain expenses and other amounts incurred by him as a result
of either of him being made a party to certain actions, suits, investigations and other proceedings.
