EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”) of Celgene Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2019. In this Amendment No. 1, unless the context indicates otherwise, the designations “Celgene,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Celgene Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to include the information required by Item 10 - “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”, Item 11 - “Executive Compensation”, Item 12 - “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”, Item 13 - “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” and Item 14 - “Principal Accountant Fees and Services” of Part III of Form 10-K. The reference on the cover page of the 2018 Annual Report to the incorporation by reference of portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the 2018 Annual Report is hereby deleted. Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the 2018 Annual Report are amended and restated in their entirety as set forth in this Amendment No. 1. In addition, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are including with this Amendment No. 1 certain currently dated certifications.

We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment No. 1.

Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the 2018 Annual Report. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the February 26, 2019 filing of the 2018 Annual Report or modify or update the disclosure contained in the 2018 Annual Report in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC.

Compensation Philosophy
Our executive compensation programs are designed to reward progress in advancing our drug development pipeline and achievement of financial and operational results while aligning the annual and long-term interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. This approach enables us to structure a program that drives the creation of long-term value to patients and our stockholders while maintaining a balanced and appropriate risk profile. Our executive compensation philosophy focuses on four core principles as a framework for which the Compensation Committee approves objectives, measures performance and determines compensation actions for our NEOs:
Value Creation:
In setting target pay and making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee balances the historical and sustained performance of each NEO with expected future contributions to his/her functional areas and to the broader management of the Company.

10



Pay for Performance:
Our practice of directly linking compensation to achievement of both annual and long-term financial and strategic goals is intended to drive strong performance, align the interest of our executives with the interests of our stockholders and result in increased stockholder value. Our Compensation Committee believes in an appropriate mix of long-term versus annual objectives and has designed our annual and long-term programs to overlap financial metrics to highlight the importance of achieving both annual and long-term goals. We believe this approach reduces the risks that actions might be taken to sacrifice long-term growth to meet annual targets.
Team-Based:
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves objectives and makes compensation decisions based on the NEO's performance not only against the specific strategy and objectives of the function(s) for which he/she is responsible, but also against each NEO's engagement in broader, long-term enterprise-wide management. Aligning each NEO's variable pay to the Company’s overall strategic objectives reinforces a team-based management approach and encourages holistic results. As part of this team-based approach, we also strive to create and maintain internal fairness in our compensation arrangements.
Market Competitiveness:
We operate in a highly complex and competitive business environment that requires attracting, retaining and engaging executives capable of leading our business. For compensation purposes, the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile within our peer group; rather, benchmark data is used as a reference point when making compensation determinations. The Compensation Committee, with the input of Radford (its independent compensation consultant), periodically reviews and selects our peer group. The companies in our peer group have comparable revenue and market capitalization, and constitute our primary competitors for executive talent. We also consider various surveys, including the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey, SIRS Executive Compensation Survey and Willis Towers Watson U.S. CDB Pharmaceutical Executive Database. Our peer group used for compensation decisions consists of:
Current Peer Group
Abbvie Inc.
Eli Lilly and Company
Alexion Pharmaceuticals
Gilead Sciences Inc.
Allergan plc.
Merck & Company
Amgen Inc.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Biogen Inc.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals (added in 2018)
Bristol-Meyers Squibb Company

Highlights of our Compensation Practices
We maintain high governance standards pertaining to the oversight of our executive compensation programs. As in prior years, the following compensation policies and practices were in effect during 2018:
What We Do
ü
Pay for Performance
On average 88% of our NEOs' compensation is tied to performance with clearly articulated financial, strategic and Relative Total Shareholder Return (R-TSR) objectives.
ü
Equitable Pay and Inclusive Workforce
We pay our employees equitably based on the work they do, the capabilities and experience they possess and the performance and behaviors they demonstrate. We promote a non-discriminatory and inclusive work environment that enables us to benefit from the diversity of thought that comes from a diverse and inclusive workforce.
ü
Compensation Recovery
In the event of an executive’s fraud or misconduct that results in a material negative restatement of our financial statements, we may recoup any or all of the incentive compensation paid to that executive in excess of the amounts that would have been paid based on the restated results. We may also cancel unvested equity compensation or require the executive to repay any gains realized in excess of the amount that would have been paid to that executive based on the restated results.
ü
Risk Mitigation
Our executive compensation programs include controls that promote a responsible and balanced risk profile:
• Multiple metrics within each incentive plan that are balanced and weighted so as not to encourage focus on a single metric to the exclusion of others;
• Caps on payouts under our annual and long-term incentive award programs;
• Stock ownership and holding requirements; and
• Pre-established grant schedule for NEOs’ equity awards as set by our Compensation Committee
ü
Minimum Vesting
Our annual equity awards provide for a minimum vesting period of one year.
ü
Proactive Shareholder Engagement
We maintain a robust investor outreach program that enables us to obtain ongoing feedback concerning our compensation programs and other governance matters.
ü
Share Ownership Requirements
We maintain rigorous stock ownership requirements for our Board members and NEOs as described below:
   During 2018, our Chairman and CEO had a share ownership requirement equal to a value of six times annual base salary, and he exceeded this requirement.
   Each of our other NEOs' share ownership requirement is equal to a value of three times annual base salary. Mr. Kellogg and Ms. Curran exceed this requirement while Dr. Vessey (who was hired in 2015) and Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin (who were both hired in 2018) do not yet meet the requirement.
   Each Board member’s share ownership requirement is five times the current annual retainer. See “Director Compensation — Stock Ownership Requirements for Non-Employee Directors” for more information.
ü
Holding Period
In addition to share ownership requirements, there is a holding period on all shares issued on vested PSUs of at least one year and one day after the applicable vesting date (except in the case of certain qualifying terminations of employment). These holding periods further align compensation and value delivered to stock performance and long-term value to our stockholders.
ü
Securities Trading Policy
We maintain a comprehensive securities trading policy which provides, among other things, that our employees who possess material non-public information regarding Celgene may not disclose or trade while in possession of such information or buy or sell our securities during any designated blackout period. Individuals classified as “insiders” (which include our NEOs) and related persons (as defined in the policy) generally may not buy or sell our securities at any time without prior approval, except under approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
ü
Change in Control Double Trigger
In 2011, we amended our Stock Incentive Plan to eliminate the “single trigger” change in control vesting provision for equity awards granted on or after July 1, 2011 and to provide that, unless otherwise determined at grant, such equity awards vest upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause that occurs within two years following a change in control (i.e. “double trigger”).



12



What We Do
ü
NEO Compensation Cost Analysis
To ensure that our compensation programs remain aligned with the interests of our stockholders and to further reinforce a team-based approach to management, the Compensation Committee considers the stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation and measures our NEOs’ collective compensation in relation to the collective compensation paid to named executive officers of companies within our peer group.
ü

Independent Compensation Consultant
The independent compensation consultant, Radford, is retained directly by the Compensation Committee.
What We Don’t Do
x
No Hedging or Pledging
Board members, executives, employees and their related persons (as defined in our Securities Trading Policy) are prohibited from hedging, pledging, or engaging in any derivatives trading with respect to Company stock, without the prior approval of the CEO in extraordinary circumstances.
x
No Backdating or Repricing
Stock options are never backdated or issued with below-market exercise prices. Re-pricing of stock options under our 2017 Stock Incentive Plan without stockholder approval is expressly prohibited. In connection with our acquisition of Juno Therapeutics in March 2018, we assumed the Juno Therapeutics Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (which does not explicitly prohibit repricing without shareholder approval).
x
No Share Recycling or Evergreen Provisions Under 2017 Stock Incentive Plan
Our 2017 Stock Incentive Plan prohibits share recycling and does not contain an evergreen renewal provision. In connection with our acquisition of Juno Therapeutics in March 2018, we assumed the Juno Therapeutics Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (which plan permits share recycling and contains an evergreen renewal provision).
x
No Dividends Payable on Options, SARs or Unvested Equity Under 2017 Stock Incentive Plan
Our 2017 Stock Incentive Plan provides that the holder of any stock option or stock appreciation right may not receive dividends with respect to the underlying shares and that the holder of any other equity award will not receive dividend payments unless the underlying shares have vested. The Juno Therapeutics Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan assumed by the Company generally does not condition dividend payments in respect of other equity awards on the vesting of the underlying shares.
Say on Pay – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation – 94%
At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we conducted our eighth annual non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation paid to our NEOs. Approximately 94% of the votes cast were in favor of our NEO compensation as described in the 2018 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee reviewed these final vote results, which reinforced our pay for performance philosophy, and the Compensation Committee also determined that the structure of our executive compensation policies continues to be appropriately aligned to the achievement of Company goals and objectives and stockholder best interests.

2018 Pay for Performance Alignment
A significant percentage of compensation awards to our NEOs is variable, performance-based compensation which is “at risk.” Each NEO’s compensation is designed to reward the achievement of financial objectives, progress in advancing our drug development pipeline and achievement of other operational goals, while aligning the annual and long-term interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.
Our NEOs’ total target compensation consists of three elements: base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives. The Compensation Committee also believes in minimal use of perquisites as they do not reinforce our pay-for-performance philosophy. For our NEOs who were employed for all of 2018, the mix of compensation is weighted toward long-term, performance-based pay, as reflected in the 2018 charts below:

13



chart-06c4fd51a53310efa9ba03.jpg
Approximately 91% of our Chairman and CEO’s target compensation is performance-based.

Roles and Responsibilities
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee oversees and administers our executive compensation and benefit programs, establishing base salary, incentive compensation, including equity awards, and any other compensation for our NEOs, including reviewing and approving the CEO’s recommendations for the compensation of NEOs and other officers of the Company (other than the CEO) who are determined to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, reviews and approves the CEO’s performance and compensation levels. The detailed roles and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its written charter adopted by our Board of Directors, which can be found on our website, www.celgene.com, under the “Corporate Governance” section of the site. The Compensation Committee also ensures that the total compensation paid to our NEOs is reasonable, competitive and achieves the goal of delivering results and enhancing the long-term value to our stockholders.

15



Role of the Chairman and CEO
As Chairman, Mr. Alles leads the Company’s Board of Directors, and in his role as CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the setting of performance objectives for the Company. After the Company’s objectives are established, the CEO works with each NEO to determine how his respective function(s) will contribute to the overall annual and long-term goals of the Company. To this end, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the CEO establishes goals and objectives with each NEO that are designed to advance his functional areas, while promoting achievement of overall corporate performance goals. At the conclusion of each fiscal year, the CEO evaluates the actual performance of each NEO via our performance management process and recommends appropriate salary adjustments and incentive awards to the Compensation Committee via our compensation review process. The final salary adjustments and incentive awards to NEOs are approved solely by the Compensation Committee.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee has retained Radford as its independent compensation consultant to assist in the continual development and evaluation of compensation plans and programs and the Compensation Committee’s determinations of compensation awards. The Compensation Committee’s consultant attends Compensation Committee meetings if requested by the Compensation Committee, and provides third-party and benchmarking data, independent analyses, advice and industry expertise on plan design, best practices and compensation regulations. The Compensation Committee’s consultant also proposes executive compensation levels within our plans.
At the request of the Compensation Committee, Radford reviews briefing materials prepared by management and outside advisors to management and advises the Compensation Committee on matters covered in the materials, ensuring the consistency of proposals with the Compensation Committee’s compensation philosophy and comparisons to programs at peer companies. Also at the request of the Compensation Committee, Radford prepares its own analyses and reports, including positioning of plans and programs within the context of competitive market analyses designed to ensure that our plans and programs reinforce the principles within our compensation philosophy.
The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Radford pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent it from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee.
Elements of Our Compensation Programs for NEOs & 2018 Compensation Actions
Base Salary
Base salaries provide fixed cash compensation to each of our NEOs. As a reflection of our performance culture, base salary adjustments are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. In its capacity as consultant, each year, at the request of the Compensation Committee, Radford provides an analysis of the competitive landscape within our industry and our peer group as additional context in which the Compensation Committee makes base salary decisions. The Compensation Committee considers the following factors when determining base salaries:
     scope of responsibilities and experience
annual and sustained performance
expected future contribution and ability to deliver value to stockholders
analysis of internal pay alignment, external market conditions and competitive positioning

Annual Bonus
Annual incentives are determined under our Corporate Management Incentive Program (MIP). The MIP is a variable pay plan designed to focus NEOs on annual goals and objectives that are established to drive the annual and long-term success of our business. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves each plan year’s targets and performance metrics under the MIP to ensure that they are challenging and commensurate with our annual and long-term business plan. The target annual incentive award opportunity for each of our NEOs represents a percentage of base salary earned in the fiscal year. Each year, Radford, in its capacity as consultant, at the request of the Compensation Committee, provides an analysis of the competitive landscape within our industry and our peer group as additional context in which the Compensation Committee makes individual bonus target decisions. In 2018, the bonus target range for NEOs employed with us during the entire year was 75% – 150% of base salary earned in the fiscal year. For all of our NEOs employed with us during the entire year, actual payments made under the MIP are calculated based 100% on our corporate performance objectives as approved by the Compensation Committee. The maximum potential bonus payout was 200% of their respective annual bonus target. For 2018, the offer letters of Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin provided them with a minimum guaranteed cash bonus payment of $722,500 and $608,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee determined that these one-time minimum payments were appropriate and necessary in order to recruit high-level executives in a competitive market for their talent and to compensate them for forfeited bonus opportunities with their prior employers. Other than Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin, with respect to fiscal 2018, the minimum payout for all NEOs was zero. Awards generally are payable at the end of February following the year to which the performance goals relate.
Setting Fiscal 2018 Corporate MIP Targets
In December 2017, the Compensation Committee determined that Adjusted EPS(1), total revenue and certain non-financial measures continued to be appropriate measures for use in connection with the fiscal 2018 MIP. In January 2018, the Compensation Committee finalized and approved these targets for the fiscal 2018 MIP. The Compensation Committee believes that these measures, balanced with our long-term objective of maintaining a significant research and development reinvestment rate, fuel our long-term growth, best serve our patients and reflect true operating performance. The corporate performance measures for fiscal 2018 were based on the following components and associated weights with a max of 200% of achievement:
56% Financial Objectives
28% on total revenue — Target range of  $14.4 – $14.8 billion

Further information relevant to the interpretation of adjusted financial measures may be found in Exhibit 99.1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Under the MIP, the Compensation Committee may provide for the adjustment, modification or amendment of the performance measures and targets in the plan to reflect certain events that affect such performance measures and targets, including (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, items or events, corporate transactions (including dispositions or acquisitions) and other unusual or non-recurring items, and (ii) changes in tax law or accounting standards required.
Fiscal 2018 MIP Payments
Based on our full year results, the Compensation Committee determined that the MIP score for fiscal 2018 was 137.5% of target, which includes both financial and non-financial performance. Our fiscal 2018 financial achievements include Adjusted EPS for MIP purposes of   $9.06 and total revenue of  $15.28 billion. Among the achievements in clinical and regulatory were on-time data readouts and EU submission for POMALYST plus bortezomib and low-dose dexamethasone (PVd) in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma; on-time data readout for OTEZLA in scalp psoriasis and US submission for OTEZLA in Behcet’s disease; clinical progress for mid-stage assets including bb2121, liso-cel (JCAR017), marizomib, CC-92480 and CC-93269; and advancing key early research programs through IND/CTA/CTN filings and initiating first-in-human studies. Additionally, the strategic acquisitions of Impact Biomedicines and Juno Therapeutics expanded and deepened our pipeline notably. For the reconciliation of the adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, see Exhibit 99.1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Bonus target changes reflect continued movement towards more competitive target incentive levels.
(2)
Bonus paid is based on salary earned multiplied by each bonus target over the relevant time period in fiscal 2018. For Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin, their offer letters provided them with a minimum target bonus payment for 2018 equal to their respective target bonus percentages of their base salaries.
For 2018, the offer letters of Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin provided them with a minimum guaranteed cash bonus payment of $722,500 and $608,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee determined that these one-time minimum payments were appropriate and necessary in order to recruit high-level executives in a competitive market for their talent and to compensate them for forfeited bonus opportunities with their prior employers. Based on achievement of bonus targets, Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin received 2018 annual cash bonuses in the amount of $993,438 and $836,000, respectively.

Long-Term Incentives — Equity Grants
Our equity awards are intended to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders through rewarding exceptional corporate performance and stockholder returns and by ensuring that decisions made in the short-term solidify a strong future for our Company. Awards granted pursuant to our equity plans are an essential component of our total compensation strategy. The equity pool of awards available to grant to all employees (including our NEOs) in any given year is approved at the end of the prior year by the Compensation Committee, subject to the overall maximum number of shares of our stock available under our equity plans.
As part of the ongoing review of our compensation strategy and practices, the Compensation Committee approves equity awards based in part on recommendations from Radford. The Compensation Committee approves targets and actual award amounts based upon relative contribution to our Company performance, individual performance, demonstrated leadership, and expected future contributions to the achievement of Company goals and objectives.
The Compensation Committee determined that, beginning in fiscal 2015, PSUs would be added to the annual equity program for our NEOs, as they are a common equity type among our peers and reflect the Compensation Committee’s intent to provide significant at-risk pay via long-term incentives. This philosophy further aligns our compensation programs to financial performance and the long-term performance of our Company. Awards granted to NEOs in fiscal 2018 were a mix of 50% stock options, 30% PSUs and 20% RSUs.
The Compensation Committee has weighted 80% of NEO equity awards to be based on performance with an emphasis on stock options, as these awards deliver value only when the market price of our Common Stock is above the exercise price, and PSUs, thereby aligning executive compensation with future stockholder value and focusing our NEOs on the overall long-term financial success of the Company. The current mix of equity awards maintains a balance between each NEO’s ability to drive attainment of key financial metrics (e.g., Total Revenue and Adjusted EPS) and delivery of value to our stockholders (as measured primarily through Relative Total Shareholder Return (R-TSR)). Shares issued on vested PSUs are subject to a holding period of one year and one day from the vesting date of the applicable performance grant cycle (except in the case of certain qualifying terminations of employment). For the reconciliation of the adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, see Exhibit 99.1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
The Compensation Committee chose to benchmark R-TSR relative to the combined constituents of the S&P 500 Biotechnology Index and the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index due to their strong correlation over time with Celgene stock price performance and the fact that these indices are used by many of our institutional investors for comparison. The R-TSR achievement under the 2016–2018, 2017–2019 and 2018–2020 performance cycles will be measured relative to the top 36 public U.S. biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with a sustained market cap above $700M for the last 3 years as measured in August prior to the commencement of each plan cycle.

The Compensation Committee may adjust the mix of award types or approve different award types as part of the overall long-term incentive award strategy. Awards made in connection with a new, extended or expanded employment relationship may involve a different mix of equity awards, depending on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the total compensation package being offered.

   In the event of  (i) death, (ii) permanent disability or (iii) involuntary termination without cause within two years as a result of a change in control (i.e. a double-trigger) (a “CiC Termination”), the vesting of stock options, RSUs and PSUs will accelerate, except that shares issued on vested PSUs will be based on actual plan performance as of the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date of death, disability or CiC Termination (but shares issued on vested PSUs in case of a CiC Termination will not be less than the target payout amount, pro-rated based on service during performance period)
   If the NEO attains retirement as defined in our equity plans and has given at least six months’ notice of the intent to retire, as of the date of retirement:
   RSUs will vest on retirement, but will be payable on the earliest of death, disability or the originally scheduled vesting date
   PSUs will continue to vest and a pro rata portion (based on number of completed months of employment during the performance period) will be payable at the end of the performance period based on actual results
   Stock options will continue to vest and will remain exercisable until the earlier of three years after retirement or the original expiration date

PSU Awards for Fiscal 2018
The PSU cycle for the 2016 – 2018 PSU awards was completed on December 31, 2018. Messrs. Alles and Kellogg are the only NEOs who participated in this PSU cycle. The Compensation Committee approved the performance achievement of 144.41% of target in relation to the pre-established measures, consisting of three performance objectives: (1) Total Revenue (weighting of 37.5%), (2) Adjusted EPS(1) (weighting of 37.5%), and (3) R-TSR (weighting of 25%). The 2016-2018 PSU awards vest on March 1, 2019 and the threshold, target, maximum and final payouts are as follows:

Long-Term Incentives — Cash

Dr. Vessey and Ms. Curran are the only NEOs who currently participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) cash plan. The other NEOs receive long-term equity awards as noted in the section above which are granted as a combination of stock options, RSU and PSU awards. However, Dr. Vessey was not an NEO at the time of grant of the awards under the 2016-2018 LTIP plan cycle so he became a participant in the cash LTIP for this cycle. Similarly, Ms. Curran was not an NEO at the time of grant of awards under the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 LTIP plan cycles so she became a participant in the cash LTIP for these cycles. The targets for Dr. Vessey and Ms. Curran under the cash LTIP are expressed as a percentage of their respective annual base salaries at the time of their participation as approved by the Compensation Committee.


21



The LTIP is a three-year plan designed to focus executives on achievement of longer-term objectives that are intended to ensure our long-term success financially, commercially and in our research and development programs. Prior to the commencement of each three-year plan (a “performance cycle”), the Compensation Committee establishes three key corporate-wide metrics against which performance will be measured. These objectives are weighted and awards earned under the LTIP are calculated based on actual performance in relation to these weighted objectives. The threshold, target and maximum cash payout levels under the current LTIP performance cycle ending in December of each plan cycle are calculated as a percentage of each NEO’s base salary at the time the LTIP was approved by the Compensation Committee.
The LTIP measurements for each performance cycle are listed below:

LTIP Awards for Fiscal 2018
For the 2016–2018 LTIP cycle, the Compensation Committee approved the performance achievement of 144.41% of target in relation to the pre-established measures, consisting of three financial performance objectives: (1) Total Revenue (weighting of 37.5%), (2) Adjusted EPS (weighting of 37.5%), and (3) R-TSR (weighting of 25%). We have not disclosed the specific performance targets under the LTIP because these targets represent confidential business information that could place us at a competitive disadvantage by providing insight into our long-term performance and financial goals. For the 2016–2018 LTIP plan cycle, Dr. Vessey and Ms. Curran were the only NEOs to receive a cash payment in this plan. Dr. Vessey’s cash payout under this plan was $830,358. Ms. Curran’s cash payout under this plan was $324,767.
Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Benefits
We do not offer pension benefits to our U.S.-based employees, including our NEOs. Instead, we provide the opportunity to accumulate retirement income through:
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (Nonqualified Plan):   An unfunded plan to which certain U.S.-based management-level employees and each of our NEOs may elect to defer up to 90% of their base salary and up to 100% of their MIP and LTIP payments. Our NEOs were not eligible to receive matching contributions under the Nonqualified Plan.

22



401(k) Plan:   Our 401(k) Plan is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan available to all of our eligible employees, including our NEOs. We make matching contributions under our 401(k) Plan in the form of shares of our Common Stock to the Plan accounts of all eligible employees (up to 6% of their eligible earnings or the maximum permitted by law) who participate in the 401(k) Plan and are active employees on the final day of the Plan calendar year or terminated under our qualified retirement requirements during the plan year, including our NEOs. Matching contributions for all employees, including our NEOs, vest 20% per year for the first five years of employment, after which all current and future contributions are 100% vested. For fiscal 2018, we made matching contributions to our NEOs (deposited in the first quarter of 2019) under the 401(k) Plan as follows:
Name
Matching Contributions under the 401(k) Plan(1)
Mark J. Alles
195.23932 shares of Common Stock (fair value of  $12,512.89)

The matching 401(k) Plan amounts reflect the fair value of the shares issued as of December 31, 2018 and are included in the Summary Compensation Table, column (i), which is included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. These contributions are expected to be made by mid-March 2019.
Other Benefits
Health & Welfare Benefits:   We provide our NEOs health and welfare benefits that are consistent with the plans, programs and eligibility provided to other employees. In addition, we provide an excess liability insurance policy to certain senior-level eligible employees. The premiums for such policies are reported as income for our employees, including our NEOs. For fiscal 2018, we made premium payments of  $3,336 on behalf of Messrs. Alles and Kellogg and Ms. Curran and $2,632 on behalf of Dr. Vessey. If applicable, attributed amounts of the perquisites and other personal benefits described above for our NEOs for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 are included in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Professional Tax and Financial counseling:   Each of our NEOs is eligible for reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining professional tax and financial counseling, up to a maximum of $15,000 annually. If applicable, attributed amounts of the perquisites and other personal benefits described above for our NEOs for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 are included in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Policy with respect to Compensation Deductibility
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of executive compensation paid by publicly held companies to certain of their executive officers to $1,000,000 per year, but has historically contained an exception for performance-based compensation. Our policy with respect to the deductibility limit of Section 162(m) of the Code generally has been to preserve the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid when appropriate and in our best interest to do so. However, we have always reserved the right to authorize the payment of non-deductible compensation if we deemed it appropriate to do so under the circumstances. As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, the exemption from Code Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation has been repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of  $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also expands the definition of covered employees to include the CFO, in addition to the CEO and the three other highest paid officers, and the $1 million deduction limitation will apply to any person who was a covered employee in any tax year after 2016, not solely to individuals who were covered employees in the year compensation is paid.
Despite our efforts to structure certain performance-based awards for executives granted prior to November 2, 2017 in a manner generally intended to be exempt from Code Section 162(m) and therefore not subject to its deduction limits, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, including the uncertain scope of the transition relief under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repealing Code Section 162(m)’s exemption from the deduction limit, no assurance can be given that such compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for exemption from Code Section 162(m) in fact will, and, as with most tax matters, it is possible that our deductions may be challenged or

23



disallowed. Further, we reserve the right to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from Code Section 162(m) if we determine that such modifications are consistent with our business needs.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

(1)
Amounts reflect sign-on bonuses and minimum guaranteed annual target bonuses for 2018 to Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin paid to them under the terms of their respective offer letters in connection with their commencement of employment with us. All other bonuses are reportable as non-equity incentive plan compensation under column (g).
(2)
The value of RSU awards in column (e) and stock options in column (f) equals the fair value at date of grant, disregarding for this purpose the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The value of PSUs in column (e) equals the fair value at date of grant determined based on the probable outcome of the award, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. These values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The assumptions used in determining the grant date fair values of these RSU, PSU and option awards for their respective years are set forth in Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. For each of the applicable fiscal years, the value of the PSUs on the grant date assuming the maximum award is shown below. The amounts shown for Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin in the table below comprise the value of the PSUs they were granted in 2018 with respect to the 2017-2019 performance cycle (i.e., $970,294 and $616,005, respectively) and the 2018-2020 performance cycle (i.e., $1,831,627 and $1,279,441, respectively).

The value of the matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan is based on the number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by the closing price of our Common Stock on December 31 of the respective year.
(6) During 2018, Mr. Alles served as a member of the Board of Directors, but did not receive any compensation in such capacity.
(7) Mr. Elkins joined Celgene in July 2018 and was appointed CFO in August 2018. Dr. Reicin joined Celgene in November 2018.
CEO Pay Ratio
For fiscal 2018, the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mark J. Alles, as calculated in accordance with the Summary Compensation Table requirementswas $16,223,923, and the fiscal 2018 annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO) was $263,237, resulting in a pay ratio of approximately 62:1.

The median employee that is the basis of this calculation is the same as provided for fiscal year 2017 pay ratio disclosure, as permitted by SEC rules. In determining that this individual continues to be representative of the median of our employee population, we observed that:

There have been no significant changes to our broad-based compensation arrangements that would reasonably be expected to result in a significant change to the compensation of our median employee. Specifically, the consistently applied compensation measure used to identify that employee for fiscal 2017 disclosure, which consisted of, for each employee, (A) annual base salary for salaried employees (or hourly rate multiplied by expected annual work schedule,

26



for hourly employees), (B) the target bonus for each such employee for the year, and (C) the estimated value of any equity awards granted during the year, continues to be representative of the compensation arrangements of our employee population, and

For purposes of this disclosure, there were no significant changes to our employee population that would be reasonably expected to result in a significant change in our median employee, after omitting, as permitted by SEC rules, approximately 663 employees that became employees of Celgene as a result of our acquisition of Juno Therapeutics in March 2018. Moreover, because annual equity grants were made to former employees of Juno Therapeutics prior to the acquisition, their reportable compensation received as employees of Celgene were not representative of the 2018 total annual compensation that they would receive as employees of Celgene for the full fiscal year. As a result, we believe that the omission of these employees for purposes of this disclosure presents a more accurate depiction of our CEO pay ratio calculation.

The above pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K. However, the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rule affords significant flexibility to companies in determining appropriate methodologies to identify the median employee and calculating the median employee’s annual total compensation. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations, business models and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies to identify the median employee and calculate the median employee’s annual total compensation.

Agreements with our Named Executive Officers
Letter Agreement with Mr. Alles
Under the terms of our amended employment letter agreement with Mr. Alles, if his employment is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, he would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 12 months’ base salary, less applicable taxes, and per the terms of the MIP, if his employment is terminated by us for reasons other than cause, he would be entitled to a pro-rata MIP bonus at target. Mr. Alles was promoted to Chief Executive Officer effective March 1, 2016 with an annual base salary of $1.1 million and a target incentive under the MIP equal to 125%. In addition, Mr. Alles was elected to serve as a member of our Board of Directors in February 2016 and Chairman of the Board in February 2018. Effective March 1, 2018, Mr. Alles’ annual base salary is $1,365,000 and his target incentive under the MIP is equal to 150%. Effective January 2, 2019, Mr. Alles' severance entitlements under this letter agreement were superseded by the terms and conditions of the Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan (the “ESP”). For a description of the ESP, see “Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan.”
Letter Agreement with Mr. Elkins
In connection with his employment with us, the Company entered into an offer letter agreement with Mr. Elkins (the “Elkins Offer Letter”), providing for the terms of his employment, including annual base salary of $850,000, participation in the Company’s Management Incentive Plan with a target bonus of 85% of eligible base salary (with a potential maximum payout of 200% of target and, for 2018, a guaranteed bonus equal to the full target amount), a grant of options to be determined on the grant date by dividing the value of such grant ($3 million) by the applicable Black-Scholes value per stock option, and restricted stock units determined on the date of grant by dividing the value of such grant ($6.75 million) by the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options vest in equal annual installments over four years and the RSUs vest in three equal installments over a three year period from the date of grant. In addition, Mr. Elkins received a target number of performance stock units determined on the grant date by dividing the value of such grant ($1.6 million) by the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (with 37.5% apportioned to the 2017-2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) performance period and 62.5% apportioned to the 2018-2020 LTIP performance period).
 
Under the Elkins Offer Letter, Mr. Elkins also received a one-time payment as a signing bonus of $650,000. Under the Elkins Offer Letter, if his employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, Mr. Elkins is entitled to a severance payment equal to the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus, plus the continuation of medical and dental benefits at active-employee rates. The Elkins Offer Letter also provided that, in the event (i) a change in control occurs and (ii) Mr. Elkins' position is eliminated, his duties/responsibilities/compensation are significantly reduced or his primary place of work is relocated by 50 miles within two years of the change in control, Mr. Elkins will receive the same termination benefits described above, except that the base salary entitlement will increase by six months and his unvested stock options and RSUs will fully vest. Effective January 2, 2019, Mr. Elkins’ severance entitlements under this letter agreement were superseded by the terms and conditions of the ESP. For a description of the ESP, see “Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan.”

The stock options vest in equal annual installments over four years and the RSUs vest in three equal installments over a three year period from the date of grant. In addition, Dr. Reicin received a target number of performance stock units determined on the grant date by dividing the value of such grant ($1 million) by the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (with 32.5% apportioned to the 2017-2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) performance period and 67.5% apportioned to the 2018-2020 LTIP performance period).

(1)
“Committee Action Date” refers to the date the Compensation Committee voted to approve the fiscal 2018 stock option, RSU and PSU grants listed in column (b), with respect to stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted under our equity plans.
(2)
The amounts reflected in columns (d) and (e) include the potential target and maximum payouts of the awards granted in fiscal 2018 to each NEO under the MIP, which were established by the Compensation Committee on February 13, 2018. See “Elements of Our Compensation Programs for NEOs & Compensation Actions — Annual Bonus” under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for more information regarding the 2018 bonus targets under the MIP and the actual amounts that were approved by the Compensation Committee on January 28, 2019, which amounts were paid to the NEOs shortly thereafter under the MIP. For all of our NEOs the maximum potential bonus payout was 200% of their annual bonus target.
(3)
The amounts reflected in columns (f), (g) and (h) represent the threshold, target and maximum number of shares of Celgene Common Stock that can be delivered at the end of the three-year PSU measurement period. The number of shares to be delivered under the PSU grants depends on the level of achievement compared to established threshold, target and maximum levels for total revenue, adjusted EPS and R-TSR, with linear interpolation used to determine the payout percentage if performance levels fall between threshold, target and maximum levels. If performance goals do not reach the threshold level then no shares will be delivered. For more information about PSUs, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentives — Equity Grants” elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
(4)
All stock options and RSUs granted in fiscal 2018 were granted pursuant to our equity plans. All options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the effective date of grant and vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. All RSUs vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date except for those granted to Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin which RSUs will vest in three equal installments on each of the anniversary of the grant date.
(5)
This column reflects the closing price of the shares of our Common Stock on the date of the grant, which equals the exercise price for the stock options granted and the grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted.
(6)
This column reflects the full grant date fair value of stock options and RSUs computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, disregarding for this purpose the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions, granted to the NEO in fiscal 2018. This column also reflects the grant date fair value of PSUs computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 determined based on the probable outcome of the award (i.e., achievement at target performance), excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The actual value, if any, that a NEO may realize upon exercise of stock options will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date of exercise, so there is no assurance that the value realized by a NEO will be at or near the value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The assumptions used in determining the grant date fair values of these awards are set forth in Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal-Year End Table
The following tables provide information on holdings of stock options and stock awards as of December 31, 2018, by our Named Executive Officers. Each equity grant is shown separately for each NEO. For additional information about the option awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentives — Equity Grants”.

(2)
Pursuant to our equity plans, options granted to employees (including the NEOs) are immediately exercisable. However, the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise would be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying options (i.e., in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date). Unvested options are included in column (c).
(3)
Pursuant to our equity plans, RSUs granted to the NEOs vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date except for those granted to Mr. Elkins and Dr. Reicin which RSUs will vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date. The amount shown for the March 2016 grants for Messrs. Alles and Kellogg represents the actual number of earned PSUs for the 2016-2018 performance period.
(4)
Represents the number of unvested RSUs or PSUs multiplied by the closing price of Celgene Common Stock on December 31, 2018.
(5)
Represents the number of PSUs granted for the 2017–2019 and 2018–2020 performance periods that were considered outstanding at December 31, 2018 based on 2018 performance compared to total revenue, adjusted EPS and R-TSR performance goals established for the PSUs. For the 2017-2019 and 2018-2020 performance periods, total revenue, adjusted EPS and R-TSR are included at the threshold level.

Stock options granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The value realized when the stock options were exercised represents the excess of the fair market price of the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price of the stock options. No stock options were exercised in 2018 by any of the NEO's.
(2)
Value realized on vesting represents the number of RSUs and PSUs that vested during fiscal 2018 multiplied by the market price of our Common Stock on the respective vesting dates.

(1) The amounts reported in column (b) reflect deferrals under the Nonqualified Plan of base salary and/or MIP paid to Mr. Kellogg in fiscal 2018. A portion of the amounts reported as salary and/or MIP in the Summary Compensation Table, column (c) and/or (g), respectively, were deferred by Mr. Kellogg in fiscal 2018 as follows: $456,292 of salary and $757,894 of his 2017 MIP, and $778,956 of his 2018 MIP.

(2)
None of the amounts reported in column (d) for Mr. Kellogg is reported as compensation in the “Summary Compensation Table.”

(3)
The amounts reported in column (f) for Mr. Kellogg include previously earned, but deferred, salary that was reported in our Summary Compensation Table in previous years as follows: $435,625 of base salary in fiscal 2017, $422,833 of base salary in fiscal 2016, and $410,000 of base salary in fiscal 2015. The total in this column reflects the cumulative value of Mr. Kellogg’s deferrals and investment experience.


38



The Nonqualified Plan is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan to which our U.S.-based NEOs may elect to defer up to 90% of their base salary and up to 100% of other types of compensation (including LTIP awards and MIP awards). Generally, a deferral election must be made no later than December 31 of the previous year, and is irrevocable. Deferrals with respect to salary are deducted from the participant’s salary in equal installments for the period of January 1 to December 31 of each year. These deferral elections are for the salary earned by the participant for the particular salary pay period during that year, which would otherwise be payable to the participant in such pay period. The election to defer salary under the Nonqualified Plan is in addition to any deferral election made by the participant under our 401(k) Plan. Deferrals for performance-based annual bonuses are for those MIP bonuses earned during the year in question, which are payable the following year. The MIP deferral elections may be modified or revoked before June 30 of the year in question.
The Nonqualified Plan authorizes us to make matching contributions at our sole discretion. The participant is 100% vested at all times in his or her deferred cash account, and matching contributions vest in accordance with the vesting schedule specified by the Compensation Committee at the time the contribution is made.
The Nonqualified Plan credits gains and losses to deferral amounts based upon “deemed” investments in the investment alternatives chosen by each participant (which the participant may change at any time) from a “menu” of fund options provided by us. In general, the investment options consist of a number of mutual and index funds comprising stocks, bonds, and money market accounts. The investment returns credited to participants’ accounts in the Nonqualified Plan correspond to actual returns of the chosen funds. The performance of the mutual and index funds fluctuates with the conditions of the capital markets and the economy generally, and is affected by prevailing interest rates and credit risks.
The Nonqualified Plan provides for payment of deferred compensation and earnings thereon. A distribution is made upon a participant’s separation from service with us, his or her retirement, a date specified by the participant in his or her compensation deferral agreement, the death of a participant (in such a case, to the designated beneficiary) or a “change in control.” Distributions upon a separation from service may be made in a lump sum or in annual installments of two to 15 years, as elected by the participant. A participant may elect to receive up to three “in-service” distribution dates in a lump sum or two to five annual installments. Payments made on a participant’s separation from service will begin on the first day of the seventh month following the date of separation from service. If a participant dies before installment payments have commenced, a lump sum will be distributed to the participant’s beneficiary as soon as administratively feasible thereafter, to the extent no adverse tax consequences are triggered under Section 409A of the Code. If a participant dies after the date distributions have commenced, then installment payments shall continue to be distributed to such participant’s beneficiary in accordance with the participant’s election. Loans are not permitted under the Nonqualified Plan, although distributions are permitted in the case of certain emergencies. Notwithstanding any election made by a participant, all balances under the Nonqualified Plan will be paid within 90 days following a change in control of Celgene.
The Nonqualified Plan is intended to provide participants with a tax deferral opportunity for compensation paid by us. The deferred amounts are not subject to income tax or income tax withholding when earned and deferred, but are fully taxable (and withheld appropriately) when distributed.
Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan    
In December 2018, the Company adopted the Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan (the “ESP”), pursuant to which executives of the Company designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board are eligible to participate. Each of the NEOs is a designated participant in the ESP. Pursuant to the ESP, each of the NEOs is entitled to receive severance benefits upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or due to the officer’s resignation for good reason (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), subject to execution of a release and termination agreement.
 
If the Qualifying Termination occurs on, or within two years following, a change in control of the Company or, in certain circumstances, otherwise occurs in connection with a change in control of the Company (each, a “CIC Termination”), the severance benefits are generally (1) a cash severance payment equal to 2.5x (or 3x, in the case of Mr. Alles) multiplied by the sum of the officer’s annual base salary and target annual cash incentive opportunity, (2) COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates for a benefits continuation period of up to 30 months (or 36 months, in the case of Mr. Alles), (3) 18 months of outplacement services, (4) a prorated annual incentive compensation award for the year of termination, and (5) full accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards granted under the Company’s equity plans.
 
If the Qualifying Termination is not a CIC Termination, the severance benefits are generally (1) a cash severance payment equal to 1.5x (or 2x, in the case of Mr. Alles) multiplied by the sum of the officer’s annual base salary and target annual cash incentive opportunity, (2) COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates for a benefits continuation period of up to 18 months (or 24 months, in the case of Mr. Alles), and (3) 18 months of outplacement services.
 


39



Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following tables summarize the value of the termination payments and benefits that Messrs. Alles, Elkins and Kellogg, Ms. Curran and Drs. Vessey and Reicin would have received if they had terminated employment on December 31, 2018 under the circumstances shown. The tables exclude (i) amounts accrued through December 31, 2018 that would be paid in the normal course of continued employment, such as accrued but unpaid salary, (ii) vested account balances under our 401(k) Plan that is generally available to all of our employees, (iii) any post-employment benefit that is available to all of our salaried employees and does not discriminate in favor of the NEOs, and (iv) any vested balances under the Nonqualified Plan which may become payable on termination of employment, which are included under "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table" above. The calculations set forth below in columns (e) and (f) assume all NEOs were entitled to payments and benefits under the ESP (and not pursuant to the terms of their respective offer letters, if any) as of December 31, 2018. For a description of the ESP, see “Celgene Corporation Executive Severance Plan.” For a description of the severance provisions included in the NEO offer letters, see “Agreements with our Named Executive Officers.”

The MIP payment in the table reflects the executive's MIP award at levels without proration since, the executives termination of employment is assumed to occur on December 31, 2018. In addition to those events listed in the table above, Mr. Alles will be eligible to receive such amounts in the event of voluntary termination on December 31, 2018.

Reflects the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares over the exercise price of all unvested options and the fair market value of the shares underlying unvested RSUs, in each case, as of December 31, 2018. Ms. Curran’s stock options and RSUs will become fully vested upon the occurrence of one of the triggering events represented in columns (b), (c), (d) or (f).
(5)
Represents the fair market value of shares underlying PSUs granted in 2017 and 2018 for the 2017-2019 and 2018-2020 performance periods that would vest that upon the occurrence of one of the triggering events represented in columns (b), (c), (d) or (f) on December 31, 2018. In the event of death or permanent disability, the vesting of PSUs will accelerate and shares will be payable based on actual plan performance as of the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date of such a triggering event, unless such date is on or after the last day of the performance period. The amounts included in the table above for death or permanent disability are based on actual results achieved through September 30, 2018 for the 2017-2019 and 2018-2020 performance periods. In the event of a CIC Termination the vesting of PSUs will accelerate and the number of shares paid will equal the greater of (a) 100% of the shares earned based on actual plan performance as of the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date of termination and (b) the number of shares earned based on the target performance level, prorated based on the executive's service during the performance period. The amount included in the table above for CIC Termination reflects two years for the 2017-2019 award and one year for the 2018-2020 award, in each case, based on achievement at the target performance level.
(6)
The MIP provides for a pro rata award payable on the executive’s retirement, death, permanent disability, or involuntary termination. The prorated award is generally calculated based on target performance, except that if the triggering event is permanent disability, the calculation is based on full year actual performance. In addition, the ESP provides for a prorated bonus payment upon a CIC Termination based on the greater of target performance or actual performance through the date of the CIC Termination. The MIP payment in the table reflects the executive’s MIP award at actual levels without proration since the executive’s termination of employment is assumed to occur on December 31, 2018. In addition to those events listed in the table above, Ms. Curran will be eligible to receive such amounts in the event of voluntary termination on December 31, 2018.
(7)
The LTIP provides for a pro rata award payable on the executive’s death, permanent disability, retirement with the approval of the Compensation Committee, or involuntary termination for reasons other than cause or gross misconduct, in each case calculated based on actual performance. The total LTIP payment in the table reflects the LTIP award value which would have been payable in cash for the 2016-2018 performance cycle (based on actual performance, without proration) and the 2017-2019 performance cycle (assuming achievement at the target level at the end of the performance period and prorated to reflect the two years of the performance period that had elapsed) if the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2018.
Upon a change in control, the executive is entitled to her target LTIP award for each plan cycle in effect or, if higher, an award based on actual performance through the date of the change in control. The total LTIP payment in the table reflects the LTIP award value which would have been payable in cash for the 2016-2018 performance cycle (based on actual performance) and the 2017-2019 performance cycle (based on target performance) if the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2018.

Director Compensation
On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee, supported by analysis and recommendations from its independent compensation consultant, Radford, considers the cash and equity compensation for our non-employee directors, including the amount and type of compensation, using comparative data, to be paid for the compensation year commencing immediately after the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Compensation Committee currently engages the services of Radford, as its compensation consultant. Radford meets with the Compensation Committee and provides advice regarding the design and implementation of non-employee director compensation programs. Radford provides market data annually and makes recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation, including amount and forms of compensation. The Compensation Committee then makes recommendations regarding compensation to the Board of Directors, which makes the final determination on compensation for non-employee directors.
Compensation Philosophy
Consistent with our philosophy and practices for our employees, including our NEOs, we believe that compensation for our non-employee directors should be aligned to the interests of our stockholders, and therefore a significant portion of pay should be at-risk. Our non-employee director compensation program therefore is heavily weighted toward equity rather than cash. In 2018, for example, the compensation awarded non-employee directors who served for the full year averaged approximately 20% cash and 80% equity. In addition, equity awards to non-employee directors, which consist of stock options and RSUs are weighted to emphasize stock options, as these awards accrue value only when the market price of our Common Stock is above the exercise price, aligning non-employee director compensation to stock performance. In 2018, stock options comprised approximately 75% of the equity-based compensation awarded to non-employee directors who served for the full year.
All stock options granted to non-employee directors vest in full on the earlier of  (i) the date preceding the date of the first annual stockholders’ meeting held following the grant date, and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director has served in such capacity at all times through such date (or experiences an earlier qualifying termination of employment). All RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided, in each case, that the director has served in such capacity at all times through such date (or experiences an earlier qualifying termination of employment).
Stock Ownership Requirements for Non-Employee Directors
Our non-employee directors are subject to stock ownership guidelines and must attain equity ownership equal to five times the current annual retainer amounts of $75,000, or $375,000 in stock value. Non-employee directors must meet these ownership requirements no later than the date that is five years after becoming a non-employee director.
Once established, a non-employee director’s target ownership will not re-adjust automatically as a result of changes in his or her annual cash retainer or changes in the price of our Common Stock. However, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, re-evaluate and revise a particular non-employee director’s target ownership in light of such changes. In determining whether a non-employee director meets the guidelines, we consider owned shares and vested restricted or deferred stock units, but we do not consider stock options or unvested RSUs. With the exception of Dr. Haller, who was elected to our Board of Directors in 2015, and Ms. Hemingway Hall, who was elected to our Board of Directors in 2018, all of our non-employee directors exceed their stock ownership requirements.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related Person Transaction Policies and Procedures
At the beginning of each calendar year, each member of our Board of Directors and each executive officer is required to complete an extensive questionnaire that we utilize when preparing our annual proxy statement, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings. The purpose of the questionnaire is to obtain information from directors and executive officers to verify disclosures about them that are required to be made in these documents. Regarding related person transactions, the questionnaire serves two purposes: first, to remind each executive officer and director of their obligation to disclose any related person transactions in which they have or will have a direct or indirect material interest (or a transaction in which their family members or entities in which they hold an interest have a material interest) and in which we participate that in the aggregate exceed $120,000 (“related person transaction”) that might arise in the upcoming year; and second, to ensure disclosure of any related person transaction that is currently proposed or that occurred since the beginning of the preceding year. When completing the questionnaire, each director and executive officer is required to report any such transaction, as well as any payments (including any non-cash payment) by anyone other than the Company or its subsidiaries for services performed for the Company or its subsidiaries. If a reported or proposed related person transaction is identified, the Audit Committee will review the relevant facts and circumstances, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account our Code of Business Conduct, and either approve, ratify or disapprove the related person transaction. The Audit Committee will also review the material terms of any agreements or arrangements between a director and any third party relating to compensation for services performed for the Company or its subsidiaries and direct that such arrangements be disclosed in the Company’s annual proxy materials or other public reports as appropriate.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
There have been no reportable related person transactions requiring the review, ratification or approval of the Audit Committee since the beginning of fiscal 2018 except for the following:
As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Juno Therapeutics, Inc. (“Juno”). Hans E. Bishop, who was elected to our Board of Directors in April 2018, was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Juno until the termination of his employment in April 2018. In connection with the completion of the acquisition, based on publicly filed reports, Mr. Bishop held shares of Juno common stock for which he received an aggregate payment of approximately $197 million. In addition, Mr. Bishop held equity awards of Juno that were payable as a consequence of the acquisition having an aggregate value at the acquisition price per share of approximately $87 million (inclusive of excise tax reimbursement). Also, as a consequence of the acquisition and his termination of employment in April 2018, Mr. Bishop received an aggregate of approximately $2 million (inclusive of excise tax reimbursement) in respect of change in control related payments.
We, along with other investors, entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Lyell Immunopharma, Inc. (“Lyell”) pursuant to which, on October 22, 2018, we purchased shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Lyell for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million. In connection with the Series A Preferred Stock financing, we entered into an investor rights agreement, voting agreement and right of first refusal and co-sale agreement with Lyell and the other investors. Mr. Bishop, a member of our Board of Directors, is a non-employee director of the Board of Directors of Lyell and, prior to the closing of the Series A Preferred Stock financing, Mr. Bishop beneficially owned greater than 10% of Lyell.
Director Independence
No director will be deemed to be independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director has no other material relationship with us, directly or as an officer, stockholder or partner of an organization that has such a relationship with us. The Board of Directors observes all criteria for independence established by Nasdaq under its applicable Listing Rules. The Board of Directors has determined that all of our directors, with the exception of Mark J. Alles, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Hans E. Bishop, may be classified as “independent” within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Executive sessions of our independent directors are convened in conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting.
