Item. 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On April 16, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Vor Biopharma Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an amendment and restatement of the Vor Biopharma Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan” and as further amended and restated, the “Amended 2021 Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. The 2021 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder automatically increases on each January 1 by 4% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, through calendar year 2035 (the “Evergreen Provision”). The Amended 2021 Plan amends the 2021 Plan to, among other things, (i) revise the Evergreen Provision to provide that the number of shares of Common Stock to be added to the share reserve by operation of the Evergreen Provision on January 1 of a given year will be based on the sum, as of December 31 of the preceding year, of both issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any pre-funded warrants and (ii) provide that, unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, outstanding and unvested time-based awards under the Amended 2021 Plan will become fully vested if the continuous service of a participant who is an employee is terminated due to such participant’s death. The Board submitted the Amended 2021 Plan for stockholder approval at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on June 11, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company’s stockholders approved the Amended 2021 Plan at the Annual Meeting.
The foregoing description of the Amended 2021 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Amended 2021 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
