| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On January 2, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the number of directors of the Company to eight (8).
Effective January 2, 2026, the Board appointed Sung H. Lee as a director of the Company to fill the newly created vacancy on the Board resulting from the increase to the board size. Mr. Lee will serve as a Class I director until his term expires at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders at which time he will stand for election by the Company’s stockholders. The Board determined that Mr. Lee is independent under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Mr. Lee has not been named to any committee of the Board at this time. In accordance with the Company’s compensation program for non-employee directors, Mr. Lee will receive an equity award consisting of a stock option to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $8.93 and a restricted stock unit award to acquire 10,000 shares of Common Stock. The: (i) option award will vest in 36 substantially equal monthly installments over three years from the date of grant, provided, however, that all vesting will cease if Mr. Lee ceases to serve on the Board and (ii) the RSU award will vest in three equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant; provided, however, that all vesting will cease if Mr. Lee ceases to serve on the Board prior to any applicable vesting of the RSU Award. Mr. Lee will also receive an annual retainer of $40,000. The Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Lee in the same form as the indemnification agreements the Company has entered into with its other directors, which form has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Except as set forth above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lee and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Lee was selected as a director of the Company, there are no family relationships between Mr. Lee and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers, and Mr. Lee is not a party to any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
The Company issued a press release on January 5, 2026 announcing the appointment of Mr. Lee to the Board. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
