Item 5.02	Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On April 20, 2018, Robert Perez notified Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) that he intends to retire from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which is the end of his current term. Accordingly, Mr. Perez will not stand for re-election as a Class III director at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Perez’ decision did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The Board had previously approved an increase in its authorized size from six to seven members and appointed Chrysa Mineo as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created by such increase, effective March 1, 2018. The Board has determined that from and after the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall be six members, with two members in each class of the Board.
