Item 5.02.

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

On June 27, 2014, our board of directors appointed David R. Guyer, MD, and Ivana Magovcevic-Liebisch, PhD, JD, to serve as members of our board of directors. Dr. Guyer was appointed to serve as a class I director, for a term expiring at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, and Dr. Magovcevic-Liebisch was appointed to serve as a class II director, for a term expiring at our 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Dr. Guyer was also appointed to serve as a member of our nominating and corporate governance committee.

Also on June 27, 2014, Sam Wu and Jill Carroll each notified us that each of them intends to resign from our Board of Directors, effective as of July 31, 2014, in accordance with policies of the venture investment firms with which they are affiliated. Dr. Wu and Ms. Carroll have served as members of our Board of Directors since December 2010 and April 2013, respectively. Neither Dr. Wu’s nor Ms. Carroll’s decision to resign from our Board of Directors was the result of any disagreement with us on any matter related to our operations, policies or practices.

A copy of our press release dated June 30, 2014 announcing the appointment of Dr. Guyer and Dr. Magovcevic-Liebisch to our board of directors and Dr. Wu’s and Ms. Carroll’s resignations is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
