On August 6, 2020, Codexis, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.


Item 5.02			Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective on August 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) increased the size of the Board from eight to nine members and appointed Jennifer Aaker, Ph.D. as a Class II director, with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board has determined that Dr. Aaker is independent as defined in Listing Rule 5605 of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for purposes of serving on the Board. Committee appointments for Dr. Aaker have not been determined.

Dr. Aaker will receive compensation as provided in the Company's non-employee director compensation policy. Dr. Aaker will receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000 per year for her service as a member of the Board and additional annual retainers for committee service. Under the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, upon her appointment to the Board, Dr. Aaker received a grant of $200,000 of shares of restricted common stock under the Company’s 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), which amounted to 15,540 shares (the “Initial Award”). The restricted stock subject to the Initial Award will vest as to one-third of the shares on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to Dr. Aaker’s continued service to the Company through each such vesting date. In addition, following each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, Dr. Aaker will receive a grant of $100,000 of restricted common stock under the Plan, provided that, as of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, Dr. Aaker has served on the Board for at least six months, and provided further that as of such date she continues to serve on the Board (the “Annual Award”). The restricted common stock subject to the Annual Award will vest as to all of the shares on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, subject to Dr. Aaker’s continued service through such vesting date.

The Company expects to enter into the Company's standard indemnification agreement with Dr. Aaker.
