(e) Adoption of Inducement Plan; Grant of Inducement Awards

On August 26, 2014, Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the 2014 Inducement Plan (the “Plan”) to reserve 325,000 shares of its common stock to be used exclusively for grants of awards to individuals that were not previously employees or directors of the Company, as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company within the meaning of Rule 5635(c)(4) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Plan was recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and approved by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) and the terms and conditions of the Plan are substantially similar to the Company’s stockholder-approved 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The Plan was created to recruit select key executive employees, including the Company’s Chief Medical Officer.

A complete copy of the Plan, the form of Stock Option Agreement and Grant Notice, and the form of Restricted Stock Agreement and Grant Notice under the Plan is filed herewith as Exhibits 10.37, 10.38, and 10.39, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference. The above summary of the terms of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
