Management Change/Compensation Form 8 K

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

On August 5, 2024, (the "Grant Date") Keith Murphy, the Executive Chairman of Organovo Holdings, Inc. (the Company"), was granted a time-based option to purchase 574,923 shares of common stock, which was equal to 4.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the Grant Date (the "Time-Based Option") and a performance-based option to purchase 431,193 shares of common stock, which was equal to 7.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the Grant Date (the "Performance-Based Option" and, together with the Time-Based Option, the "Options"). The exercise price of the Options is $0.5368 per share. The Options were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on August 4, 2024 and were granted under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.

The Time-Based Option will vest over three years, with one-third of the total number of shares vesting on each successive anniversary of the grant, subject in each case to Mr. Murphy's continued service to the Company on each vesting date. The Performance-Based Option will vest in tranches upon the achievement of certain revenue, market capitalization, stock price and strategic goals, subject in each case to Mr. Murphy's continued service to the Company on each vesting date.

In addition, if the Company closes an equity financing (in one or more tranches) after the Grant Date and on or prior to March 31, 2025 (the "Financing") and the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Time-Based Option and the Performance-Based Option is equal to less than 4.0% and 7.0%, respectively, of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such Financing (in all cases assuming no exercise of any of the Options) ("Post-Financing Shares Outstanding"), Mr. Murphy will be granted: (a) an additional time-based option to purchase such number of shares of common stock as is equal to 4.0% of the Post-Financing Shares Outstanding minus the number of shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Time-Based Option (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the common stock occurring after the Grant Date), and/or (b) an additional performance-based option to purchase such number of shares of common stock as is equal to 7% of the Post-Financing Shares Outstanding minus the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon exercise of the Performance-Based Option (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or similar change in the Common Stock occurring after the Grant Date) ((a) and (b) collectively, the "True-Up Options"), each of which shall be subject to the vesting requirements (including the vesting commencement date) and substantially the same terms as the Time-Based Option and Performance-Based Option, respectively, other than that the exercise price for such True-Up Options shall be the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant, which shall be the date of the closing of the Financing.
