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

(b) Resignation of Director

On May 20, 2021, R. Scott Greer notified Inogen, Inc. (“the Company”) of his resignation as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, and as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), in each case effective May 24, 2021. Mr. Greer’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.  

Appointment of Director

On May 21, 2021, the Board, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, appointed Elizabeth (Beth) Mora to the Board of Directors, effective May 24, 2021. Ms. Mora will serve as a Class I director, with a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024. In addition, to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Greer’s resignation, the Board appointed Ms. Mora as a member of the Audit Committee and appointed Mr. Loren McFarland, an existing member of the Audit Committee, as Chairperson of the Audit Committee.

Ms. Mora, 60, previously served as Chief Administrative Officer, Vice President for Finance, Administration and Treasurer at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory from 2008 to 2020. Previously, Ms. Mora served in a variety of leadership roles at Harvard University from 1997 to 2008, including as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President for Finance, Associate Vice President, Research Administration, and Director, Office for Sponsored Research. Prior to that, Ms. Mora served at Coopers and Lybrand LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) as Senior Manager, from 1992 to 1997 and as an Audit Senior and Manager, from 1989 to 1992. Since 2017, Ms. Mora has served as an advisory board member for Cambridge Bancorp (NASDAQ: CATC). Ms. Mora currently serves on the board of directors of MKS Instruments (NASDAQ: MKSI) and Everest Consolidator LLC. Ms. Mora holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from Simmons College. Ms. Mora holds an active CPA license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Ms. Mora also previously served on the audit committee of Greater Boston Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) organization, where Ms. Mora and her wife Susan reside.  The Board believes that she is qualified to serve as a director of Inogen because of her extensive financial, business, and board and audit committee experience.  

Ms. Mora will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s outside director compensation policy (the “Policy”). Pursuant to the Policy, Ms. Mora will be entitled to receive the following cash fees: $45,000 per year for service as a member of the Board and $10,000 per year for service as a member of the Audit Committee, each paid quarterly in arrears on a pro-rata basis.

In connection with her appointment to the Board as a non-employee director and pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the Policy, Ms. Mora also automatically received an initial award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering 2,754 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which will vest on the earlier of (i) May 10, 2022 or (ii) the day prior to the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, subject to Ms. Mora continuing to be a service provider of the Company.

Ms. Mora has entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-192605) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2013.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Mora and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Mora was elected as a director. In addition, Ms. Mora is not a party to any transaction, or series of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  There are no family relationships between Ms. Mora and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers.
