On August 25, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of REGENXBIO Inc. (the “Company”), elected Gregory Ciongoli as a Class II director of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Ciongoli’s initial term will expire at the Company’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board has determined that Mr. Ciongoli is an independent director in accordance with applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Board also appointed Mr. Ciongoli as a member of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Pursuant to the Company’s compensation program for non-employee directors, Mr. Ciongoli was granted an initial equity award with an aggregate grant date fair value of $550,000, of which 75% was in the form of a non-statutory stock option and 25% was in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), in each case rounded down to the nearest whole share. The exercise price per share for the option was $8.91. The option will vest in over a three-year period, with one-third of the option vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining portion of the option vesting in equal monthly installments over the twenty-four months thereafter and the RSUs will vest over a three-year period, with one-third of the aggregate number of shares subject to the RSU award vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, except that in the event of a change of control of the Company or death, the option and RSUs will accelerate and become immediately exercisable and immediately vest, respectively. Mr. Ciongoli will also receive a $45,000 annual retainer for his service on the Board and additional $10,000 and $5,000 annual retainers for his service on the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, respectively. Mr. Ciongoli will be eligible to receive annual equity awards upon the conclusion of each annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2027. Mr. Ciongoli will also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s standard form of director indemnification agreement. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Ciongoli and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Ciongoli was elected as a director, and neither Mr. Ciongoli nor any of his immediate family members is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the election of Mr. Ciongoli is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. On August 25, 2026, the Board also accepted the resignation of Jean Bennett, M.D., Ph. D. and A.N. “Jerry” Karabelas, Ph. D. from their positions as directors of the Company, effective August 25, 2026.
