Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 2, 2015, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. issued a press release to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2014. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1, which is furnished under Item 2.02 of this report and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b). On February 24, 2015, Dr. Robert Engler, a member of the Board of Directors of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. informed the Company that he was resigning from the Board. Dr. Engler advised the Board that he was stepping off all corporate boards other than one private company to allow him to focus his efforts on that company and to provide increased time for travel.
On February 27, 2015, Dr. John Patton, a member of the Board of Directors, informed the Company that he would not be a candidate for reelection to the Board when his term ended at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Dr. Patton indicated that he wanted to devote more time to Dance BioPharm, where he serves as CEO and Chairman, and to two other start-up companies.
The Board of Directors expressed its appreciation to Dr. Engler for his service on the Board for over 11 years and to Dr. Patton for his service on the Board for 15 years, noting that each had made many contributions to the Company while serving on the Board.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Effective January 1, 2015, Kathryn E. Falberg began serving as Chair of the Board of Directors. Kenneth J. Kelley, who had previously served as Chair of the Board of Directors, continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. The transition of Chair of the Board of Directors from Mr. Kelley to Ms. Falberg does not affect the term of service on the Board for which each was most recently elected, and Ms. Falberg and Mr. Kelley will continue to serve under their current terms until the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
