Director Elections

Election of Six Directors for a Term of One Year

6 FOR
✓ FOR
Michael S. Weiss

Weiss has served as CEO and director since 2011; TGTX's 3-year stock return of +52.9% trails the peer group median by only 40.8 percentage points, well below the 65-point threshold required to trigger a vote against under the strong-positive TSR policy band, so no TSR concern fires; no overboarding, attendance, or independence issues apply to an executive director.

✓ FOR
Laurence N. Charney

Charney has served since 2012 and the 3-year TSR underperformance versus the peer group median is 40.8 percentage points, below the 65-point threshold required for a vote against in the strong-positive TSR band; he is independent, serves as Lead Independent Director and Audit Committee chair with clear financial expertise as a former Ernst & Young senior audit partner, and attended at least 75% of meetings.

✓ FOR
Yann Echelard

Echelard has served since 2012; the TSR underperformance trigger does not apply given the 40.8 percentage-point gap is below the 65-point threshold; he is independent, has deep biopharmaceutical R&D and executive experience, and met attendance requirements.

✓ FOR
Kenneth Hoberman

Hoberman has served since 2014; the TSR trigger does not apply; he is independent, brings relevant pharmaceutical finance and operations experience, chairs the Compensation Committee, and met attendance requirements.

✓ FOR
Daniel Hume

Hume has served since 2015; the TSR trigger does not apply; he is independent, brings legal and securities expertise relevant to a commercial-stage biotech, and met attendance requirements.

✓ FOR
Sagar Lonial, MD

Lonial has served since 2020; the TSR trigger does not apply; he is independent, brings directly relevant oncology and hematology clinical expertise for a multiple sclerosis and B-cell disease-focused company, and met attendance requirements.

All six director nominees receive a FOR vote. TGTX's 3-year stock return of +52.9% is strong-positive, and the underperformance gap versus the disclosed compensation peer group median of 40.8 percentage points is well below the 65-point policy threshold required to trigger votes against in this TSR tier. No overboarding, attendance, independence, or qualification concerns were identified for any nominee.

CEO total compensation of $25,571,250 is significantly above benchmark for a biotech CEO at a $5.4B market cap companyPrior say-on-pay support of 54.3% was below the 70% threshold requiring visible compensation changesAnnual equity award formula contractually set at 10x (salary + bonus) creates outsized grants independent of board discretionVariable pay above benchmark combined with 1-year stock return of -25.8% versus XBI 1-year return of +58.9%, a gap of -84.7pp, raises pay-for-performance alignment concerns

The prior year say-on-pay vote received only 54.3% support — well below the 70% threshold that requires the company to make visible changes — and the proxy's description of adjustments (new compensation consultant, revised peer group) does not demonstrate a structural reduction in CEO pay levels; CEO total compensation of $25,571,250 for 2025 is materially above what is typical for a biotech CEO at a $5.4 billion market cap company, driven primarily by a contractual equity formula that sets the annual award at ten times the sum of salary plus bonus, producing a $23.6 million stock award in a single year. Over the past year, TGTX's stock fell 25.8% while the XBI (SPDR S&P Biotech ETF) rose 58.9%, a gap of nearly 85 percentage points, meaning shareholders experienced significant losses while the CEO received above-benchmark incentive compensation, which fails the pay-for-performance alignment check under policy.

Audit Fees

$1,541,000

Non-Audit Fees

$388,606

Non-audit fees (tax fees of $385,876 plus other fees of $2,730, totaling approximately $388,606) represent about 25% of audit fees of $1,541,000, well below the 50% threshold that would trigger a vote against; auditor tenure is not disclosed in the proxy so the tenure trigger cannot fire per policy; KPMG is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a $5.4 billion market-cap company; no material restatements were identified.

Overall Assessment

The 2026 TGTX annual meeting presents three proposals; all six director nominees receive FOR votes as the company's strong-positive 3-year TSR means the peer group underperformance gap of 40.8 percentage points falls well below the 65-point policy trigger threshold, and the auditor ratification also passes with a clean non-audit fee ratio of approximately 25%. The say-on-pay vote receives an AGAINST recommendation due to the combination of a prior-year support level of only 54.3% (below the 70% remediation threshold), a CEO pay package of over $25 million driven by a contractually locked-in formula producing a $23.6 million equity award, and severe 1-year pay-for-performance misalignment with TGTX down 25.8% while the XBI rose 58.9%.
