ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

(e) At the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Celgene Corporation (the “Company”) held on June 13, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to, among other things:

 

   

Adopt an aggregate share reserve of 95,981,641 shares of our Common Stock. This number includes our current share reserve of 81,981,641 shares of our Common Stock and 14,000,000 additional new shares of our Common Stock.

 

   

In connection with the increase in the aggregate share reserve, the “fungible” share limit, which limits the number of “full-value awards” (e.g., restricted stock and RSUs) that may be granted under the Plan by counting shares granted pursuant to such awards as multiple shares against the aggregate share reserve, will be changed from 1.6 shares for every share granted to 2.1 shares for every share granted.

 

   

Extend the term of the Plan through April 18, 2022.

In addition to the foregoing, our stockholders reapproved the Section 162(m) performance goals under the Plan so that certain incentive awards granted under the Plan to executive officers of the Company may qualify as exempt performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The foregoing is a brief summary of the principal provisions of the amendments to the Plan and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, as amended by the Amendment, which Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
