INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use prior to or at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, to be held virtually at 9:00 a.m., local time, on Thursday, June 17, 2021, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof for the following purposes:

•

To cast a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers;

To cast a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers;

•

To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and

•

To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

You can attend the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BBIO2021. You will need to have your 16-Digit Control Number included on your proxy card to join the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation

This solicitation is made on behalf of the Board of Directors. We will bear the costs of preparing, mailing, online processing and other costs of the proxy solicitation made by our Board of Directors. Certain of our officers and employees may solicit the submission of proxies authorizing the voting of shares in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations. Such solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile transmission or personal solicitation. No additional compensation will be paid to such officers, directors or regular employees for such services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to stockholders.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

The Proxy Statement and the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) are available electronically at www.proxyvote.com.

Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

Only holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on May 7, 2021 are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 28, 2021, there were 149,280,583 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and eligible to vote.

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to take action at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock (present virtually or represented by proxy) will constitute a quorum. We will appoint an inspector of elections for the meeting to determine whether or not a quorum is present and to tabulate votes cast by proxy or virtually at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because such broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Votes Required for Each Proposal

To elect our directors and approve the other proposals being considered at the Annual Meeting, the voting requirements are as follows:


Proposal	Vote Required	Discretionary Voting Permitted?
Election of Directors	Plurality	No
Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers	Majority	No
Non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers	Highest Number of Affirmative Votes	No
Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP	Majority	Yes

“Discretionary Voting Permitted” means that brokers will have discretionary voting authority with respect to shares held in street name for their clients, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from their client.

“Majority” means a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter.

“Plurality” means a plurality of the votes properly cast on such matter. For the election of directors, the three (3) nominees receiving the plurality of votes entitled to vote and cast will be elected as directors.

The vote required and method of calculation for the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

Proposal One-Election of Directors. If a quorum is present, the director nominees receiving the highest number of votes, submitted virtually at the Annual Meeting or by proxy, will be elected as directors. You may vote “FOR” all nominees, “WITHHOLD” for all nominees, or “WITHHOLD” for any nominee by specifying the name of the nominee on your proxy card. Proposal One is not considered to be a routine item, so if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the directors.

Proposal Two-Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Two is not considered to be a routine item, so if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker may not vote on this proposal, and

those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Proposal Three-Non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. The frequency of “one year,” “two years,” or “three years” that receives the highest number of affirmative votes properly cast on this proposal will be deemed the preferred frequency with which we hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. You may vote for “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Three is not considered to be a routine item, so if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Proposal Four-Approval of the Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Four is considered to be a routine item, and your broker will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not receive instructions from you. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that there will be any broker non-votes on this proposal; however, any broker non-votes will not be counted as “votes cast” and will therefore have no effect on the proposal.

We request that you vote your shares by proxy following the methods as instructed by the Notice: over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you choose to vote by mail, your shares will be voted in accordance with your voting instructions if the proxy card is received prior to the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not give voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR: (i) the election of each of the Company’s three (3) nominees as directors; (ii) the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers; (iii) the non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers every ONE YEAR; (iv) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and (v) as the proxy holders deem advisable, in their discretion, on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Proxy Over the Internet or by Telephone

Stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names may vote by proxy by mail, over the Internet or by telephone. Instructions for voting by proxy over the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the Notice. The Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 16, 2021. The Notice will also provide instructions on how you can elect to receive future proxy materials electronically or in printed form by mail. If you choose to receive future proxy materials electronically, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to the proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials electronically or in printed form by mail will remain in effect until you terminate such election.

If your shares are held in street name, the voting instruction form sent to you by your broker, bank or other nominee should indicate whether the institution has a process for beneficial holders to provide voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone. A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits stockholders whose shares are held in street name to direct their vote over the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm gives you this opportunity, the voting instructions from the bank or brokerage firm that accompany this Proxy Statement will tell you how to use the Internet or telephone to direct the vote of shares held

in your account. If your voting instruction form does not include Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the voting instruction form in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided by your broker. Stockholders who vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone need not return a proxy card or voting instruction form by mail, but may incur costs, such as usage charges, from telephone companies or Internet service providers.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by filing an instrument revoking it with the Company’s Secretary or by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who have voted by proxy over the Internet or by telephone or have executed and returned a proxy and who then virtually attend the Annual Meeting and desire to vote are requested to notify the Secretary in writing prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. We request that all such written notices of revocation to the Company be addressed to Brian C. Stephenson, Secretary, c/o BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., at the address of our principal executive offices at 421 Kipling Street, Palo Alto, CA 94301. Our telephone number is (650) 391-9740. Stockholders may also revoke their proxy by entering a new vote over the Internet or by telephone.

Stockholder Proposals to be Presented at the Next Annual Meeting

Any stockholder who meets the requirements of the proxy rules under the Exchange Act may submit proposals to the Board of Directors to be presented at the 2022 annual meeting. Such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and be submitted in writing by notice delivered or mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above no later than January 12, 2022 in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials to be disseminated by the Board of Directors for such annual meeting. If the date of the 2022 annual meeting is moved by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, then notice must be received within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send proxy materials. If that happens, we will publicly announce the deadline for submitting a proposal in a press release or in a document filed with the SEC. A proposal submitted outside the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act will be considered untimely if received after March 28, 2022.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) also provide for separate notice procedures to recommend a person for nomination as a director or to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be considered timely under these provisions, the stockholder’s notice must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above no earlier than February 17, 2022 and no later than March 19, 2022. Our Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.

The Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal if it is not made in compliance with the applicable notice provisions.

PROPOSAL 1

Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our financial condition, development and commercialization activities, strategic direction, clinical and regulatory matters, operations and intellectual property. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

The role of our Board of Directors in overseeing the management of our risks is conducted primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the committees below and in the charters of each of the committees. The full Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our company, and the steps we take to manage them. When a Board committee is responsible for evaluating and overseeing the management of a particular risk or risks, the chairman of the relevant committee reports on the discussion to the full Board of Directors during the committee reports portion of the next Board of Directors meeting. This enables our Board of Directors and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We believe that although a portion of the compensation provided to our executive officers and other employees is performance-based, our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. This is primarily due to the fact that our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short-term and long-term strategic goals, in particular in connection with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Board of Directors and Committees of the Board

During 2020, our Board of Directors held a total of ten meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of Board meetings and meetings of the Board committees on which each such director served during the time each such director served on the Board of Directors or such committees.

Our Board of Directors has determined that all of our directors, except for Drs. Kumar, Homcy and Scheller, Mr. Momtazee and Ms. Cook, are independent, as determined in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the SEC. In making such independence determination, the Board of Directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. In considering the independence of the directors listed above, our Board of Directors also considered the association of our directors with the holders of more than 5% of our common stock. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below. Copies of our Audit Committee, Amended and Restated Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charters and our corporate governance guidelines are available, free of charge, on our website at https://bridgebio.com, under the “For Investors/Corporate Governance/Documents & Charters” link.

Audit Committee

In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Dr. Aguiar is an “Audit Committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

During 2020, the Audit Committee held six meetings.

Compensation Committee

Dr. Aguiar and Mr. Satvat currently serve on the Compensation Committee, which is chaired by Dr. Aguiar. All of the members of our Compensation Committee are independent, as defined under and required by Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer;

•

evaluating the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer;

•

reviewing and approving the compensation of our other executive officers;

•

reviewing and establishing our overall management compensation structure, policies and programs;

•

During 2020, the Compensation Committee held five meetings.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Mr. Satvat and Dr. Aguiar currently serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is chaired by Mr. Satvat. All of the members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Dr. Aguiar and Mr. Satvat, are independent, as defined under and required by current Nasdaq rules. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibilities include:

•

developing and recommending to the Board of Directors criteria for board and committee membership;

•

establishing procedures for identifying and evaluating Board of Director candidates, including nominees recommended by stockholders;

•

reviewing the size and composition of the Board of Directors to ensure that it is composed of members containing the appropriate skills and expertise to advise us;

•

identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors;

•

recommending to the Board of Directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the Board’s committees;

•

developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a code of business conduct and ethics and a set of corporate governance guidelines;

•

developing a mechanism by which violations of the code of business conduct and ethics can be reported in a confidential manner; and

•

overseeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management.

During 2020, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings.

Board Leadership

We do not currently have a Chairman of the Board of Directors; however, we have designated Dr. Homcy as our Lead Director. We believe that separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Lead Director has the potential to allow our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing our Lead Director to lead our Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and oversight of

management. Our Board of Directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as a Lead Director, particularly as our Board of Directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow.

While our Bylaws and corporate governance guidelines do not require that we appoint a separate Chairman of the board or lead independent director and Chief Executive Officer, our Board of Directors believes that having a Chief Executive Officer and a separate Lead Director may provide the appropriate leadership structure for us and would demonstrate our commitment to good corporate governance.

Director Nominations

The director qualifications developed to date focus on what our Board of Directors believes to be essential competencies to effectively serve on the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must reassess such criteria from time to time and submit any proposed changes to the Board of Directors for approval. Presently, at a minimum, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must be satisfied that each nominee it recommends (i) has experience at a strategic or policymaking level in a business, government, non-profit or academic organization of high standing, (ii) is highly accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition, (iii) is well regarded in the community and has a long-term reputation for high ethical and moral standards, (iv) has sufficient time and availability to devote to the affairs of the Company, particularly in light of the number of boards of directors on which such nominee may serve, and (v) to the extent such nominee serves or has previously served on other boards, the nominee has a demonstrated history of actively contributing at board meetings.

In addition to those minimum qualifications, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends that our Board of Directors select persons for nomination to help ensure that:

•

a majority of our Board of Directors is “independent” in accordance with Nasdaq standards;

•

each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be comprised entirely of independent directors; and

•

at least one member of the Audit Committee shall have the experience, education and other qualifications necessary to qualify as an “Audit Committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the SEC.

In addition to other standards the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may deem appropriate from time to time for the overall structure and compensation of the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider the following factors when recommending that our Board of Directors select persons for nomination:

•

whether a nominee has direct experience in the biotechnology or pharmaceuticals industry or in other fields relevant to the Company’s operations; and

•

whether the nominee, if elected, assists in achieving a mix of Board members that represents a diversity of background and experience.

Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider whether nominees assist in achieving a mix of Board members that represents a diversity of background and experience, which is not only limited to race, gender or national origin, we have no formal policy regarding board diversity.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee adheres to the following process for identifying and evaluating nominees for the Board of Directors. First, it solicits recommendations for nominees from non-management directors, our Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers, third-party search firms or any other source it deems appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then reviews and

evaluates the qualifications of proposed nominees and conducts inquiries it deems appropriate; all proposed nominees are evaluated in the same manner, regardless of who initially recommended such nominee. In reviewing and evaluating proposed nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, in addition to the minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board membership approved by our Board of Directors from time to time, all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable, including, among other things, the skills of the proposed nominee, his or her depth and breadth of business experience or other background characteristics, his or her independence and the needs of the Board.

If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides to retain a third-party search firm to identify proposed nominees, it has sole authority to retain and terminate such firm and to approve any such firm’s fees and other retention terms.

Each nominee for election as director at the 2021 Annual Meeting is recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and is presently a director and stands for election by the stockholders. From time to time, the Company may pay fees to third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees, although no such fees have been paid in connection with nominations to be acted upon at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to our Bylaws, stockholders who wish to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting must be a stockholder of record at the time of giving the notice, entitled to vote at the meeting, present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting and must comply with the notice procedures in our Bylaws. A stockholder’s notice of nomination to be made at an annual meeting must be delivered to our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. However, if an annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, the notice must be delivered no later than the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting was made. A stockholder’s notice of nomination may not be made at a special meeting unless such special meeting is held in lieu of an annual meeting. The stockholder’s notice must include the following information for the person making the nomination:

•

name and address;

•

the class and number of shares of the Company owned beneficially or of record;

•

disclosure regarding any derivative, swap or other transactions which give the nominating person economic risk similar to ownership of shares of the Company or provide the opportunity to profit from an increase in the price of value of shares of the Company;

•

any proxy (other than a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Act), agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship that confers a right to vote any shares of the Company;

•

any agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship engaged in for the purpose of acquiring, holding, disposing or voting of any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company;

•

any rights to dividends or other distributions on the shares that are separate from the underlying shares;

•

any performance-related fees that the nominating person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of any shares of the Company;

•

a description of all agreements, arrangements or understandings by and between the proposing stockholder and another person relating to the proposed business (including an identification of each party to such agreement, arrangement or understanding and the names, addresses and class and number of shares owned beneficially or of record of other stockholders known by the proposing stockholder support such proposed business);

•

a statement whether or not the proposing stockholder will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a business proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all shares of capital stock required to approve the proposal or, in the case of director nominations, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock reasonably believed by the proposing stockholder to be sufficient to elect the nominee; and

•

any other information relating to the nominating person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement filed with the SEC.

With respect to proposed director nominees, the stockholder’s notice must include all information required to be disclosed in a proxy statement in connection with a contested election of directors or otherwise required pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected).

For matters other than the election of directors, the stockholder’s notice must also include a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of the stockholder(s) proposing the business.

The stockholder’s notice must be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information required to be provided in the notice is true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting.

The Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the chairman of the meeting will determine if the procedures in our Bylaws have been followed, and if not, declare that the proposal or nomination be disregarded. The nominee must be willing to provide any other information reasonably requested by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in connection with its evaluation of the nominee’s independence. There have been no material changes to the process by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders may send correspondence to the Board of Directors at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above. The Company will forward all correspondence addressed to the Board of Directors or any individual Board member. Stockholders may also communicate online with our Board of Directors as a group by accessing our website (https://bridgebio.com) and selecting the “For Investors” tab and “Contact IR”.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Directors are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting. All of our eight directors then serving on our Board of Directors attended our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2020, the members of our Compensation Committee included Dr. Aguiar, Mr. Satvat and Mr. Momtazee. Mr. Momtazee resigned from our Compensation Committee in February 2020, when he became an employee of the Company, which employment continued through January 2021. None of the members of our Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the Company while serving on the Compensation Committee during 2020, a former officer of the Company, or had any other relationships with us requiring disclosure herein, except that Mr. Satvat serves as a Partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., which is an affiliate of KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, and which is an affiliate of KKR Capital Markets LLC, which acted as an initial purchaser in connection with certain of our note offerings and as underwriter in connection with a registered sale of our common stock.

None of our executive officers currently

serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Annual Retainer for Board Membership

Our policy provides that, each director who is not serving as our Chief Executive Officer (an “Outside Director”) shall receive a cash retainer in the amount of $50,000 for general availability and participation in meetings and conference calls of our Board of Directors. No additional compensation is paid for attending individual Board meetings, serving on committees of the Board of Directors or attending committee meetings. Cash retainers owing to Outside Directors shall be annualized, meaning that with respect to directors who join the Board of Directors during the calendar year, such amounts shall be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days served by such director.

Initial Equity Grant Upon Election

Our policy provides that, upon initial election to our Board of Directors, each Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time grant of a non-statutory stock option with a value of $1,200,000, with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and a term of ten years, that vests in three equal annual installments over three years; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting (the “Initial Grant”).

Annual Equity Grant

Our policy provides that, on the date of each of our annual meetings of stockholders, each Outside Director who will continue as a member of our Board of Directors following such annual meeting and who has not received an Initial Grant in the same calendar will receive a grant of a non-statutory stock option on the date of such annual meeting with a value of $1,200,000, with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and a term of ten years, that vests in three equal annual installments over three years; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting (the “Annual Grant”).

The Initial Grants and Annual Grants are subject to full accelerated vesting upon a “sale event,” as defined in the Amended and Restated BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”).

The policy also provides that the aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any Outside Director in a calendar year will not exceed $1,250,000 (or such other limit as may be set forth in the 2019 Plan or any similar provision of a successor plan).

Our Chief Executive Officer will receive no additional compensation for his service as a director.

We will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our Outside Directors for their attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

Executive Summary

BridgeBio is a team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators working to create life-altering medicines that target well-characterized genetic diseases at their source. BridgeBio was founded in 2015 to identify and advance transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from Mendelian diseases, which are diseases that arise from defects in a single gene, and cancers with clear genetic drivers. BridgeBio’s pipeline of over 30 development programs ranges from early science to advanced clinical trials and its commercial organization is focused on delivering the Company’s first approved therapy.

2020 Business and Financial Highlights

2020 was a year of significant progress for us. Clinical, regulatory and corporate performance highlights for 2020 include:

•

Laying the groundwork to complete in the first quarter of 2021 our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Eidos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Eidos”) that we did not already own, allowing BridgeBio to deploy its full clinical and commercial infrastructure to develop and plan for potential global commercialization upon regulatory approval of Eidos’ product candidate, acoramidis, a potential best-in-class therapy for patients with amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

•

Acceptance of our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for infigratinib for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and granting of Priority Review designation under the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program, designed to expedite the delivery of safe and effective cancer treatments to patients

•

Acceptance of our NDA for NULIBRY^™ (fosdenopterin) by the FDA, leading to NULIBRY’s approval in the first quarter of 2021 as the first and only approved therapy to reduce the risk of mortality for patients with Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A, an ultra-rare, life-threatening genetic disorder that progresses rapidly

•

Initiation of two new clinical trials and progress in additional 17 ongoing clinical trials

•

Implementation and completion of an equity exchange program (the “Exchange Program”) pursuant to which certain employees and individual independent contractors who provide services to our affiliates had the opportunity to exchange some or all of the unregistered equity they held in our subsidiaries for shares of registered common stock or milestone-related equity awards exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock that are registered on The Nasdaq Global Select Market

•

Ending 2020 with $607.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities

•

Increasing our stock price value in 2020 by 103%

Overview of 2020 Pay Outcomes

We continue to reward our NEOs with competitive compensation packages that directly align pay with performance. The caliber of our performance in the areas of research, clinical and regulatory milestones drives our compensation structure, specifically the degree to which NEOs are granted equity and earn bonuses. Our Compensation Committee regularly examines our compensation program both from a design and pay outcome perspective. In line with our strong growth in 2020, the Compensation Committee considered how our incentives provided appropriate levels of compensation considering our performance and growth stage. Key decisions include:

•

Annual Bonuses – An annual bonus was paid to our CEO at 250% of target and to our CFO at 216% based on strong achievement of corporate goals that included advancing our affiliate programs, securing financing through 2021, strengthening internal operations and controls, and building cross-organization and cross-function capabilities. Bonuses for our other NEOs were paid at levels ranging from 146% to 150% of target based on strong achievement of corporate goals.

•

Long-term Equity Incentives – The annual stock option grant and restricted stock unit grants to our CEO in 2020 reflect our “go-forward” equity guidelines as compared to the pre-IPO grants awarded in 2019. Factors influencing our equity grants to our NEOs in 2020 were based on market data provided to us by our compensation consultant, Radford. See “Compensation Determination Process—Use of Compensation Consultant.”

Compensation Philosophy & Objectives

Our compensation programs are designed to:

•

Harness the power of top performers to drive outsized impact relative to the investment, which increases our probability of success in technical programs and maximizes value for shareholders;

•

Attract and retain top performers at all levels who contribute to our long-term success;

•

Focus total rewards on what really matters to our team; and

•

Directly tie rewards to performance through a long-term incentive program that pays out when the company hits value inflection points.

Compensation Determination Process

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to Board of Directors on its discussions, decisions and other actions.

The Compensation Committee, or the Board of Directors upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, establishes the annual compensation, including salaries, bonuses and equity awards for our CEO and our executives. For executives other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee solicits and considers evaluations and recommendations by the CEO. In the case of the CEO, the evaluation of his performance is conducted by the Board of Directors upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, which determines any adjustments to his compensation as well as awards to be granted. For all executives, as part of its deliberations, the Compensation Committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information, company stock performance data, analyses of historical executive compensation levels and current Company-wide compensation levels and recommendations of Radford, including analyses of executive compensation paid at other companies identified by the consultant.

Role of CEO & Management

Our CEO makes recommendations for the respective executive officers that report to him to our Compensation Committee and typically attends Compensation Committee meetings. Our CEO makes such recommendations (other than with respect to himself) regarding base salary, and short-term and long-term compensation, including equity incentives, for our executive officers based on our results, an executive officer’s individual contribution toward these results, the executive officer’s role and performance of his or her duties and his or her achievement of individual goals. Our Compensation Committee then reviews the recommendations and other data, including various compensation survey data and publicly-available data of our peers, and recommends the target total direct compensation, which our CEO has the authority to approve in consultation with our Compensation Committee, for our executive officers who are not “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act). Our Board of Directors, at the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, has also delegated to our CEO the authority to determine and approve the cash and equity compensation payable to employees and consultants of the Company and our subsidiaries who are not “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act). The aggregate amount of compensation our CEO has the authority to approve in calendar year 2021 pursuant to the foregoing delegations shall not exceed approximately $142.4 million, and the aggregate number of shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards under our Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan shall not exceed 4,500,000 shares.

While our CEO typically attends meetings of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee meets outside the presence of our CEO when discussing his compensation and when discussing certain other matters, as well.

Use of Compensation Consultant

Our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of Radford, which is part of the Rewards Solutions practice at Aon plc, to conduct a review and analysis of our executive compensation compared with current market practices and a peer group of companies, to be used for setting 2020 executive compensation levels. Radford’s review, which consisted of an analysis of our compensation practices against prevailing market practices of identified peer group companies and broader industry trends, analyzed total direct compensation of our executive officers and was based on an assessment of market trends through analysis of available public information in addition to proprietary data provided by Radford. Radford reports directly to the Compensation Committee.

During 2020, Radford did not provide services to us other than the services to our Compensation Committee described herein. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Radford according to the six factors mandated by SEC and Nasdaq listing standards. After conducting this assessment and considering any potential conflicts of interest, the Compensation Committee concluded that the continued engagement of Radford did not raise any conflict of interest and did not adversely affect Radford’s independence.

Peer Group

Prior to 2020, the Company did not use a peer group. In early 2020, we developed a peer group, with the assistance of Radford, to provide a broad perspective on competitive pay levels and practices for 2020. For this peer group, the Compensation Committee, reviewed similar companies with respect to sector, stage of development and market capitalization that was ultimately chosen based on these characteristics and others including:

•

Sector – publicly-traded pre-commercial or early-stage commercial biopharma companies

•

Market Capitalization – $1B to $13B market capitalization range

•

Size – companies with under 450 employees

Based on the above market data, Radford compiled the following peer group of companies in early 2020:


Acceleron Pharma		FibroGen
Aimmune Therapeutics		Global Blood Therapeutics
Ackea Therapeutics		MyoKardia
Axsome Therapeutics		Nektar Therapeutics
bluebird bio		Principia Biopharma
Blueprint Medicines		Ra Pharmaceuticals
Deciphera Pharmaceuticals		Sage Therapeutics
Dicerna Pharmaceuticals		Tricida
Epizyme		Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical

In light of the Company’s rapid growth, the Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of peers to ensure that the underlying criteria for peer selection remains appropriate, ensuring that we consider companies that have profiles similar to us and removing companies that have been acquired in the interim.

As guidelines for our executives, we set target cash compensation, when considering salary and bonus potential, and equity compensation, delivered through equity-based awards, after generally referencing the compensation paid to executives within our compensation peer group. We target equity compensation for our executives at or above the 50th percentile of equity compensation paid to executives in our compensation peer group, however our own performance and individual performance informs decisions on equity compensation. We believe that our emphasis on equity compensation serves to retain our executives and directors and align their interests with those of our stockholders. We also believe that these references appropriately reflect our position and performance, which has been very strong since our IPO in June 2019. We may deviate from setting actual compensation levels at these target levels with respect to our executives to reflect experience, performance levels, existing equity holdings, and market factors as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.

Pay Components

The Compensation Committee has developed an executive compensation program that consists of three main components. The relative mix of these components is weighted more on incentives, particularly long-term incentives, rather than fixed compensation. The focus on incentive compensation is intended to ensure that the interests of our executives are aligned with those of our stockholders. Our compensation program is made up of the following three key compensation components:


Base Salary		Base salaries are fixed annual cash compensation established and reviewed annually with consideration for responsibilities, experience, market data and individual contributions. Base salaries are set to be competitive within our industry and are important in attracting and retaining talented executives.

Annual Performance-based Bonus		The annual performance-based bonus opportunity is a variable, cash incentive program. It is intended to motivate and reward our executives for the achievement of key strategic goals of the Company. In 2020, our annual incentives were based on key corporate objectives and individual performance.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

LOGO

Long-term equity awards incentivize executives to deliver long-term shareholder value, while also providing a retention vehicle for our top executive talent and promoting an ownership culture at the Company.

Equity awards are delivered as time-vested stock options and restricted stock units. These awards are typically granted on an annual basis.

From time to time, the Compensation Committee may determine it in the Company’s best interest to use other award types, such as PSUs and milestone achievement grants, to drive the achievement of specific performance outcomes.

Overview of Compensation Program Governance


What We Do		What We Don’t Do
Pay for performance - structure a substantial portion of pay to be “at risk” and based on Company and individual performance		No excise tax or other gross ups

Maintain a long-term strategic plan for equity compensation and avoid undue emphasis on short-term value		No significant fringe benefits or perquisites that are not available to all employees

Retain an independent compensation consultant		Hedging and pledging are prohibited

Review peer group and peer pay regularly as reference point		No retirement programs other than our 401K

Maintain an independent compensation committee

In prior years, we were an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and were not required to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs (a “Say-on-Pay Vote”). At this Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we will hold our first Say-on-Pay Vote as described in Proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement. Our board of directors and compensation committee will consider the result of the Say-on-Pay vote, and the related “Say-on-Frequency” vote, as described in Proposal 3 of this Proxy Statement, as well as feedback received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our executive officers in the future because we value the opinions of our stockholders.

Base Salary

Base salaries for our NEOs consider such executive’s qualifications, experience, the scope of his responsibilities, and competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions within the industry. Base salaries were initially established at the time of our IPO in 2019 and were adjusted in 2020. In making decisions regarding salary increases, we draw upon the experience of members of our Compensation Committee with other companies and considering individual responsibilities, performance and experience. We also we draw upon the expertise of Radford, who provides comparative compensation data from similar sized companies in our industry. The Compensation Committee does not apply specific formulas to determine base salary increases. This strategy is consistent with our intent of offering base salaries that are cost-effective while remaining competitive.


Name	2019 Base Salary		2020 Base Salary		% Increase
Neil Kumar, Ph.D.	$	450,000	$	550,000		22	%
Brian Stephenson, Ph.D., CFA	$	420,000	$	550,000		31	%

Cameron Turtle, Ph.D.⁽¹⁾	$	350,000	$	400,000		14	%
Charles Homcy, M.D.	$	500,000	$	500,000		—
Brian Stolz	$	625,000	$	625,000		—

⁽¹⁾	Dr. Turtle is paid through our subsidiary, Eidos Therapeutics, Inc.

For 2020, our Board of Directors approved increases in base salary ranging from 14% to 31% based on evaluation of the third-party market compensation data and recommendations from Radford, as necessary to be competitive with our peer group. The 2020 base salary increases were effective as of January 1, 2020.

Annual Performance-Based Bonus

In addition to base salaries, certain of our NEOs are eligible to receive annual cash bonuses, which are designed to provide appropriate incentives to our executives to achieve corporate goals and individual accomplishments, and to reward our executives who significantly impact our results.

Each NEO has a target bonus represented as a percentage of base salary, or a target bonus percentage, each of which is set forth below. These bonus targets were set by the Compensation Committee based on recommendations from Radford as necessary to be competitive with our peer group:


Name	2020 Base Salary		2020 Target Bonus (% of base salary)			2020 Target Bonus ($)
Neil Kumar, Ph.D.	$	550,000		60	%	$	330,000
Brian Stephenson, Ph.D., CFA	$	550,000		60	%	$	330,000
Michael Henderson, M.D.	$	515,000		40	%	$	206,000

Charles Homcy, M.D.⁽²⁾	$	500,000		—			—
Brian Stolz⁽³⁾	$	625,000		60	%	$	375,000

⁽¹⁾	Dr. Turtle was paid through our subsidiary, Eidos Therapeutics, Inc.

⁽²⁾

Dr. Homcy does not have a defined target bonus pursuant to his offer letter with the Company.

⁽³⁾	Mr. Stolz resigned from the Company effective October 22, 2020.

Our performance goals vary from year to year. For the FY 2020 bonus, these goals included advancing our affiliate programs, securing financing through 2021, strengthening internal operations and controls, and building cross-organization and cross-function capabilities. The corporate performance goals are generally tied to achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones related to our preclinical and clinical development programs across our affiliates. The Compensation Committee determines whether any weighting will be applied to each of the goals that comprise the established corporate performance goals.

The Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors reviews the Company’s achievement of the corporate goals in their totality, considering the Company’s overall performance for the year and comes to a general, subjective conclusion as to whether the corporate goals were met, and whether there were any other extraordinary factors that should be considered in determining the amount of bonus earned for the year. In sum, the actual amount of bonus compensation that is earned by our NEOs is a subjective, discretionary, determination made by our CEO in consultation with the Compensation Committee following the Board of Directors’ and the Compensation Committee’s review of the Company’s achievement of the corporate goals, other than for our CEO and CFO, whose compensation is determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that maintaining discretion to evaluate corporate performance at the close of the year based on the totality of the circumstances, and the discretion to award or fail to award bonus compensation without reliance on rote calculations under set formulas, is appropriate in responsibly discharging its duties. Payouts of earned bonuses, if any, are generally made in the year following the year of performance.

For 2020, our Board of Directors determined that the corporate goals were achieved. Based on the achievement of corporate performance goals, our NEOs received bonuses ranging from 146% to 250% of their targets. Mr. Stolz

left the company prior to the Company bonus being paid out and therefore was not eligible for a 2020 fiscal year performance bonus. Overall, bonus payments are outlined in the table below:


Name	2020 Target Bonus ($)		2020 Bonus Payout ($)			2020 Bonus Payout (% of bonus target)
Neil Kumar, Ph.D.	$	330,000	$	825,000			250	%
Brian Stephenson, Ph.D., CFA	$	330,000	$	712,500			216	%
Michael Henderson, M.D.	$	206,000	$	300,000			146	%
Cameron Turtle, Ph.D.⁽¹⁾	$	140,000	$	210,000			150	%
Charles Homcy, M.D.		—	$	100,000			—
Brian Stolz	$	375,000	$	682,777	⁽²⁾

⁽¹⁾

Dr. Turtle was paid through our subsidiary, Eidos Therapeutics, Inc.

⁽²⁾

Mr. Stolz did not receive a bonus based on 2020 performance given his resignation from the Company in October 2020. Pursuant to our severance agreement with Mr. Stolz, he received a target bonus payment of $375,000 and a pro-rated bonus payment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, in the amount of $307,377.

Long-term Incentive Program

Our long-term, equity-based incentive awards are designed to align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders. We believe that equity compensation is an integral component of our efforts to attract and retain exceptional executives, senior management and other employees at this critical point on our growth and both a newly public, pre-commercial stage company. In 2020, we structured this in a mix of 75% stock options and 25% in RSUs. Because vesting is generally subject to continued service over a period of several years following the date of grant, our equity-based incentives also serve as a retention device for NEOs.

The stock option grants are intended to create a direct link between our NEOs’ compensation and our stock price appreciation. Because the executive must pay a cash exercise price equal to the value of the stock on the date the option is granted, the executive will only receive value from the option grant if the value of our stock increases following the option grant date. Likewise, the value of RSUs increase as our stock price increases. Accordingly, we believe stock options and RSUs provide meaningful incentives to our executives to achieve increases in the value of our stock over time. In addition, the vesting feature of our equity grants contributes to executive retention by providing an incentive to our executives to remain employed by us during the vesting period. We also believe that if our executives own shares of our common stock with value that is significant to them, but which value cannot be immediately realized, they will have an incentive to act to maximize longer-term stockholder value instead of short-term gain.

In June 2020, in connection with the annual compensation review, the Company granted stock options and RSUs to most of our NEOs. The size of the awards to any individual is determined based on several factors including performance as well as the total number of shares available for grant under our Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and the levels of equity compensation, both from the perspective of grant date values and as a percent of common shares outstanding, provided by our peer companies to their executives.

The following table summarizes the equity grants to our NEOs in 2020:


Name	2020 RSU (# Shares)		2020 Stock Options (# Shares)
Neil Kumar, Ph.D.		82,069		590,551
Brian Stephenson, Ph.D., CFA		27,356		196,850
Michael Henderson, M.D.⁽¹⁾		205,000		—
Cameron Turtle, Ph.D.		2,745		—
Charles Homcy, M.D.⁽²⁾		—		—
Brian Stolz		25,532		183,727

⁽¹⁾	Dr. Henderson received an option award from a subsidiary of the Company in 2020. Please refer to the Summary Compensation Table.

⁽²⁾	Dr. Homcy received an option award for service on our Board of Directors. Please refer to the Summary Compensation Table.

All of our stock option grants made to our NEOs vest monthly in equal increments over a four-year period subject to the NEO’s continued services with us. All of our RSUs vest quarterly in equal increments over a four-year period subject to the NEO’s continued services with us.

In addition, in March 2020, the Compensation Committee approved our implementation of the Exchange Program pursuant to which certain employees and individual independent contractors who provide services to our subsidiaries were offered the opportunity to exchange some or all of the equity held by these individuals in our subsidiaries for (i) vested shares of our common stock, (ii) shares of our restricted common stock subject to vesting on the same terms and conditions as the unvested shares of restricted common stock held by them in our subsidiaries, (iii) options to purchase shares of our common stock, and/or (iv) the right to receive notional units in our common stock that will pay out an applicable fixed dollar amount upon the achievement of certain designated performance milestones (the “Milestone Program”). We and our Compensation Committee determined that the Exchange Program is critical to our retention of high-performing employees and individual independent contractors who provide services to our subsidiaries because it provides them with the opportunity to receive shares of our common stock (or equity awards exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock) that will be registered and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market in exchange for unregistered equity in our privately held subsidiaries. Additionally, the ability for certain of these individuals to participate in the Milestone Program creates an incentive for them to contribute to the achievement of defined milestones at the subsidiary level while aligning their long-term interests with those of our stockholders. We successfully completed the Exchange Program in 2020 and continue to incentivize employees with grants under the Milestone Program.

Additional Compensation Policies and Practices

Perquisites, Health and Welfare Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in all our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, group life and disability insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as our other employees. We pay the premiums for term life insurance and disability insurance for all our employees, including our NEOs. Our Board of Directors may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified benefit plans in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests. None of our NEOs participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit, non-qualified defined contribution plans or defined benefit pension plans sponsored by us. We provide a 401(k) plan for all our eligible employees, including our NEOs, and make matching contributions, as described in the section below entitled “401(k) Plan.”

We also provided limited perquisites to our named executive officers in 2020, consisting primarily of commuting expenses and other de minimis benefits. We believe that providing such perquisites were appropriate to assist our NEOs in the performance of his duties.

401(k) Plan

All of our full-time employees in the United States, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan, which is a retirement savings defined contribution plan established in accordance with Section 401(a) of the Code. The 401(k) plan provides that each participant may contribute up to the lesser of 100% of his or her compensation or the statutory limit, which is $19,500 for calendar year 2020. Participants that are 50 years or older can also make “catch-up” contributions, which in calendar year 2020 may be up to an additional $6,500 above the statutory limit. In 2020, we made matching contributions into the 401(k) plan on behalf of participants, matching 100% of participant contributions up to 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of participant contributions above that level up to 5% of eligible compensation. Participant contributions are held and invested, pursuant to the participant’s instructions, by the plan’s trustee.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our Insider Trading policy expressly prohibits each of our directors, officers and employees from engaging in any speculative transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding our securities, including hedging or similar transactions. We also prohibit any pledging of our securities as collateral for loans and the holding of our securities in margin accounts without pre-approval.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 718. This accounting treatment has not significantly affected our executive compensation decisions.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The material in this report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

The Compensation Committee of the Company 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 CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting and incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5) with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all such forms which they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of such reports or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all of the filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors, greater than 10% beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act were complied with during the year ended December 31, 2020.

PROPOSAL 2

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE

COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our Board of Directors is committed to excellence in governance. As part of that commitment, and as required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, our Board of Directors is providing the stockholders with an opportunity to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers.

The following proposal, commonly known as a “say on pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or the compensation of any particular officer, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy, policies and practices, as discussed in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote for the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”

Before you vote, we recommend that you read the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement for additional details on our executive compensation programs and philosophy.

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on us, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, our board of directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and intend to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Vote Required

Approval on a non-binding, advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL 3

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE NON-BINDING,

ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires us to submit a non-binding, advisory resolution, commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” proposal, to stockholders at least once every six years to determine whether non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, like Proposal 2, should be held every one, two or three years.

After careful consideration, our Board of Directors has determined that an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers will allow our stockholders to provide timely and direct input on our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement each year. The Board of Directors believes that an annual vote is therefore consistent with our efforts to engage in an ongoing dialogue with our stockholders on executive compensation and corporate governance matters. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the submission by the Company of a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act every:

one year;

two years; or

three years.”

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on us, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and intend to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of holding future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Vote Required

The frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers that receives the highest number of votes of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting thereon shall be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EVERY “ONE YEAR” ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL 4

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2021. Representatives of Deloitte will attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Company’s organizational documents do not require that the stockholders ratify the selection Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and stockholder ratification is not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. The Company requests such ratification, however, as a matter of good corporate practice. Our Board of Directors, including our Audit Committee, values the opinions of our stockholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and evaluate what actions may be appropriate to address those concerns, although the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may still retain Deloitte.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees And Services

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to us for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 by Deloitte.


Fees billed	2019 Deloitte		2020 Deloitte
Audit Fees	$	2,501,147	$	3,561,166
Audit Related Fees		—		—
Tax Fees	$	12,000	$	12,600
All Other Fees	$	7,391	$	7,391
Total	$	2,520,538	$	3,581,156

Audit Fees. This category consists of fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, review of our quarterly financial statements, assistance with registration statements filed with the SEC, services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and other fees in connection with our adoption of new accounting pronouncements. This category also includes fees for services incurred in connection with our initial public offering in 2019 and nonrecurring transactions closed in each of 2019 and 2020.

Audit-Related Fees. This category consists of fees billed for related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under the Audit Fees category.

Tax Fees. This category consists of fees for services provided for tax consultation services.

All Other Fees. This category consists of fees for all other services that are not reported above.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention and termination, and for determining the compensation, of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and the terms thereof and non-audit services (other than non-audit services prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act or the applicable rules of the SEC or the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board), except that pre-approval is not required for the provision of non-audit services if the “de minimis” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act are satisfied. The Audit Committee may delegate to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals for audit and non-audit services, provided such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All services provided by Deloitte during fiscal year 2019 following our initial public offering and during fiscal year 2020 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy described above.

Required Vote

The ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting (meaning the number of shares voted “for” the proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” the proposal). Abstentions are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The following Audit Committee Report is not considered proxy solicitation material and is not deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s filings made under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act that might incorporate filings made by the Company under those statutes, the Audit Committee Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any prior filings or into any future filings made by the Company under those statutes.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has furnished this report concerning the independent audit of the Company’s financial statements. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the enhanced independence standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rulemaking of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market regulations. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website at https://bridgebio.com.

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include assisting the Board of Directors regarding the oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 with the Company’s management and Deloitte & Touche LLP. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP, with and without management present, their evaluation of the Company’s internal accounting controls and overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 and the Audit Committee discussed the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP with that firm.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have recommended the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

We have made available a procedure approved by the SEC known as “householding.” This procedure allows multiple stockholders residing at the same address the convenience of receiving a single copy of our Notice, Annual Report and proxy materials, as applicable. This allows us to save money by reducing the number of documents we must print and mail and helps protect the environment as well.

Householding is available to both registered stockholders (i.e., those stockholders with certificates registered in their name) and street name holders (i.e., those stockholders who hold their shares through a brokerage).

Registered Stockholders

If you are a registered stockholder and would like to consent to a mailing of proxy materials and other stockholder information only to one account in your household, as identified by you, we will deliver or mail a single copy of our Annual Report and proxy materials for all registered stockholders residing at the same address. Your consent will be perpetual unless you revoke it, which you may do at any time by contacting the Householding Department of Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), at 1717 Arch Street, Suite 1300, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Registered stockholders who have not consented to householding will continue to receive copies of Annual Reports and proxy materials for each registered stockholder residing at the same address. As a registered stockholder, you may elect to participate in householding and receive only a single copy of Annual Reports or proxy statements for all registered stockholders residing at the same address by contacting Broadridge as outlined above.

Street Name Holders

Stockholders who hold their shares through a brokerage may elect to participate in householding or revoke their consent to participate in householding by contacting their respective brokers.

OTHER MATTERS

We are not aware of any matters that may come before the meeting other than those referred to in the notice. If any other matter shall properly come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote all proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

Accompanying this Proxy Statement is our Annual Report. Copies of our Annual Report are available free of charge on our website at https://bridgebio.com or you can request a copy free of charge by calling Investor Relations at Burns McClennan at (212) 213-0006, ext. 362 (attention: John Grimaldi), or sending an e-mail request to ir@bridgebio.com.
