Concurrently, former COO Marianne Mancini became a consultant through January 2, 2030 with continued vesting of stock options and RSUs; Hubert C. Chen, MD was hired as Chief Medical Officer at $520,000 base salary plus 40% bonus target and 190,000 stock options; and CEO Brian Lian signed off on both arrangements.
