Appointment of Mathew P. Arens as Class III Director
On August 23, 2023, the board of directors
(the “Board”) of Societal CDMO, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an increase in the size of the Board from eight
to nine directors, and appointed Mathew P. Arens to serve as a Class III member of the Board. As a Class III director, Mr. Arens
will serve until (a) the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or (b) his earlier death, resignation, or removal.
Mathew
P. Arens, age 49, currently serves as chief executive officer and senior portfolio manager at First Light Asset Management, a firm he
founded in 2013. In this role, he is responsible for creating and overseeing the firm’s investment strategies, which are rooted
in several core principles including a commitment to long-term investments designed to capitalize on inefficiencies within the small-cap
equity market. Previously, he served as president and senior portfolio manager at Kopp Investment Advisors, where he was the sole portfolio
manager for the firm’s health care-focused investment strategy. Mr. Arens graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor
of science degree. The Board believes Mr. Arens is qualified to serve as a director due to his more than 25 years of experience
as a successful investment professional identifying innovative life science companies with high growth potential. For the past 15 years, he solely has managed dedicated health
care portfolios.
The Board has determined that Mr. Arens is
independent under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and Securities and Exchange Commission. No family relationships
exist between Mr. Arens and any of the Company’s directors or other executive officers. There are no arrangements or understandings
between Mr. Arens and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Arens was appointed as a director, nor are there any transactions
to which the Company is or was a participant and in which Mr. Arens had or will have a direct or indirect material interest subject
to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Mr. Arens’s appointment
as a Class III director, and consistent with the Board’s non-employee director compensation program, the Board granted Mr. Arens
an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), under
the Company’s 2018 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Appointment Option”). The Appointment Option will
vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on August 23, 2024, subject to Mr. Arens’s continuous service with
the Company.
Further, in accordance with the Company’s
non-employee director compensation program, Mr. Arens will receive an annual base retainer of $40,000 paid in quarterly installments
for his service on the Board. Mr. Arens will also receive an annual award of an option to purchase shares of Common Stock having
an aggregate fair value on the date of grant of $65,000, and an annual award of restricted stock units having an aggregate fair value
on the date of grant of $70,000, each of which will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Arens’s
continuous service with the Company.
