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

On August 30, 2024, to retain and motivate employees and other key contributors of Precipio Inc. (the “Company”), the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a one-time stock option repricing (the “Option Repricing”), effective August 31, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). The repricing was undertaken in accordance with, and as permitted by, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2017 Plan”). Pursuant to the Option Repricing, all Relevant Options (as defined below) granted pursuant to the 2017 Plan that are held by Company employees and non-employee directors and service providers of the Board of the Company were repriced, to the extent such options had an exercise price in excess of $6.56, the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on August 30, 2024.

“Relevant Options” means all outstanding eligible stock options granted to eligible employees and non-employee directors and service providers of the Board of the Company before and including December 31, 2022 under the Plan.

As of the Effective Date, all such options were repriced such that the exercise price per share was reduced to $6.56, provided that the original exercise price will apply to stock option exercises during the Retention Period. Out of the Company’s approximately 304,000 total outstanding options, approximately 177,000 were repriced.

If prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date (except following a change of control), a Relevant Option is exercised or employment/services are terminated by the Company with cause or voluntarily by the option holder, the option holder will be required to pay the original exercise price of the Relevant Option. If the employment/services of an option holder is terminated by the Company without cause prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the option holder will retain the benefit of the reduced exercise price.

The Board approved the Option Repricing after careful consideration of various alternatives, the recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board determining that the repricing was fair, just, and reasonable to the Company and its stockholders. According to the Plan, the Option Repricing is not subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders. The Relevant Options include the following stock options held by the individuals named herein. The Company is in the process of evaluating the accounting for the repricing in the Company’s financial statements and expects to record the impact of the Option Repricing in the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
