Item 5.02

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

On September 29, 2020, Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) held a virtual Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), where the stockholders of the Company approved the Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and certain conditional grants thereunder, which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval.

A detailed summary of the material terms of the 2020 Plan is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”), which such description is incorporated herein by reference.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and cash or other stock based awards. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan consists of (i) 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock plus (ii) an annual increase on January 1, 2021 and each anniversary of such date thereafter through January 1, 2030, equal to the lesser of (A) 4% of the shares issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board (the “Share Pool”). However, if any award previously granted under the Zafgen Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”) or its predecessor, the Zafgen Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan, as amended (collectively, the “Prior Plans”), expires, terminates, is canceled or is forfeited for any reason after the approval of the 2020 Plan, the shares subject to that award will be added to the Share Pool so that they can be utilized for new grants under the 2020 Plan. Similarly, following the approval of the 2020 Plan, shares that are withheld from an award issued under a Prior Plan for the payment of taxes or in satisfaction of the exercise price for an option award, will be added to the Share Pool so that they can be utilized for new grants under the 2020 Plan.

The descriptions of the 2020 Plan contained herein and in the Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2020 Plan and the Company’s Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Award Agreement, a copy of which are each attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
