 cells to potentially fight cancer, since 2021. Ms. Wilson also served as a member of the board of directors of Vaxart, Inc., a public company, from August 2020 to August 2022. Ms. Wilson previously served as Senior Vice President of Finance
 at Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, a biopharmaceutical company, until September 2020 after serving as Principal Accounting Officer and Vice President of Finance. Prior to joining the Jazz Pharmaceuticals organization in February 2011, Ms. Wilson
 served as Principal Accounting Officer and Vice President of Finance at PDL BioPharma, Inc., a life sciences company. Ms. Wilson also previously served as a Principal at the consulting firm of Wilson Crisler LLC, Chief Financial Officer of
 ViroLogic, Inc., a biosciences company, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Operations for Novare Surgical Systems, Inc., a medical device manufacturer, and as a consultant and auditor for Deloitte & Touche LLP, a professional
 services firm. Ms. Wilson is a Certified Public Accountant and received a B.S. in Business from the University of California, Berkeley. Our Board of Directors believes that Ms. Wilson is qualified to serve as a director due to her extensive
 background in financial and accounting matters for public companies and her leadership experience in the life science industry.

 Director Independence

 As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company's Board of Directors must
 qualify as "independent," as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Nasdaq listing standards require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit, compensation, and nominating and
 corporate governance committee be independent under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person
 does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

 Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered
 independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly
 or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

 Compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered
 independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1, a board must consider, for each member of a compensation committee of a listed company, all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to such company which is
 material to that director's ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting advisory
 or other compensatory fee paid by such company to the director; and whether the director is affiliated with the company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

 Our Board of Directors consults with our counsel to ensure that their determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and
 regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

 Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or
 her family members, and Elicio, our senior management and our independent auditors, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the following six directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards: Dr. Julian Adams, Ms. Carol Ashe, Ms. Yekaterina (Katie) Chudnovsky, Dr. Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr., Ms. Karen Wilson and Dr. Allen Nissenson. In making this determination, the Board of
 Directors found that none of these directors had a material or other disqualifying relationship with Elicio. Dr. Venkatesan is not considered independent because he was an executive officer of Angion within the past three years. Mr. Connelly is
 not considered independent because he is an executive officer of Elicio.

 In addition, as required by Nasdaq rules, our Board of Directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no
 relationships exists that, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed
 and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 Familial Relationships

 There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

 Board Leadership Structure

 Elicio's Board of Directors is currently chaired by Dr. Julian Adams.

 Our Board has the flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and/or to implement the role
 of Lead Independent Director in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Our current Board leadership structure separates the positions of Chief Executive Officer
 and Board Chairman. The Board believes that this separation is appropriate for the organization at this time because it allows for a division of responsibilities and a sharing of ideas between individuals having different perspectives. Our
 Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of our Board, is primarily responsible for our day-to-day operations and strategic direction, while our Board Chairman, who is an independent member of the Board, is primarily focused on matters
 pertaining to corporate governance, including management oversight. While the Board believes that this is the most appropriate structure at this time, the Board retains the authority to change the Board structure, including the possibility of
 combining the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman position, if it deems such a change to be appropriate in the future.

 Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

 Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote
 a culture incorporating risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review
 sessions during the year including a focused discussion and analysis of the risks we may face. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board of Directors at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations
 focusing on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

 Our Board of Directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather
 administers this oversight function directly through our Board of Directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board of Directors addressing risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Our Board of Directors may delegate to the Audit Committee oversight of our risk management process. Our other committees will also consider and
 address risk as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. Specifically, the Audit Committee receives periodic reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to us, including operational, financial, and
 legal risks, and risks related to IT and cyber security. Our Audit Committee periodically discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential financial impact on us and the steps we take to manage them. Our Compensation
 Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks arising from our compensation policies and programs. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the
 Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks associated with the Board of Directors organization, membership and structure, succession planning for our directors and executive
 officers and corporate governance. All committees report to the full Board of Directors as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise level risk.

 Meetings of the Board of Directors

 The Board of Directors met seven times since the completion of the Merger in fiscal year 2023. Each director
 attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the portion of the last fiscal year for which he or she was a director or committee member. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities and is
 expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director sits, with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a
 meeting of the Board or a committee is expected to notify the Chairman of the Board or the Chair of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an
 in-person meeting.

 Committee of the Board of Directors

 We have established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of these committees
 operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board of Directors and members will serve on these committees until their resignation or as otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. Below is a description of each committee of the
 Board of Directors.

 Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its
 responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined each member of each committee meets the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations regarding "independence" and each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual
 exercise of independent judgment with regard to Elicio.

 Audit Committee

 The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, to
 oversee Elicio's corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions, including among other things:

 •

 appointing, engaging, compensating, retaining, and overseeing the work of any independent auditor;

 •

 assessing the independence of our independent auditor;

 •

 pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor;

 •

 reviewing our financial statements and related disclosures;

 •

 reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and financial reporting processes, systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and code of
 conduct;

 •

 reviewing and discussing with management our overall risk assessment and risk management framework;

 •

 establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints on accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters;

 •

 reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the results of our annual audit, our quarterly financial statements and our publicly filed reports;

 •

 coordinating the evaluation of our financial management personnel;

 •

 consulting with management to establish procedures and internal controls relating to cybersecurity;

 •

 reviewing and approving related person transactions; and

 •

 preparing the audit committee report that the SEC requires in our annual proxy statement.

 Our Audit Committee is composed of Karen Wilson, Julian Adams, Ph. D., and Carol Ashe. Ms. Wilson serves as the chairperson of the Audit Committee. All
 members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Our Board of Directors has determined Ms. Wilson is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined
 under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Ms. Wilson, Dr. Adams, and Ms. Ashe are
 independent under the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.

 Our Audit Committee met four times following the Merger in fiscal year 2023. The Board
 of Directors has adopted a written Audit Committee charter available to stockholders on our website at

 Compensation Committee

 Following the Merger and currently, our Compensation Committee is composed of Carol
 Ashe, Allen Nissenson, M.D., and Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr., Ph. D. Ms. Ashe serves as the chairperson of the Committee. Each of the members of our Compensation Committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and is a
 "non-employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our Compensation Committee met three times following the Merger in fiscal year 2023. The Board of Directors has adopted a written Compensation Committee
 charter available to stockholders on our website at  and our Compensation Committee's role and responsibilities set forth in the charter include, among other things:

 •

 reviewing, approving and making recommendations regarding our compensation policies, along with conducting periodic reviews of the adequacy of our compensation programs;

 •

 reviewing, approving and making recommendations regarding corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer), evaluating the performance of these executive
 officers in light of those goals and objectives and approving the compensation of these executive officers based on such evaluations;

 •

 retaining, and if need be, replacing any compensation or benefits consultants or other outside experts or advisors the Committee believes is necessary;

 •

 overseeing compliance of our equity compensation plans and, subject to stockholder approval, exercising administrative responsibility over such plans, including, reviewing, approving and making recommendations regarding the issuance
 of stock options and other awards under our stock plans to our executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer);

 •

 determining our policies with respect to change of control or "parachute" payments;

 •

 reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding director compensation; and

 •

 reviewing and recommending to our Board of Directors for approval, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, conducting this decision-making process without the Chief Executive Officer present.

 In establishing compensation amounts for executives, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide compensation that is competitive in light of current market
 conditions and industry practices. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will generally review market data which is comprised of proxy disclosed data from peer companies and information from nationally recognized published surveys for the
 biopharmaceutical industry. The market data helps the Compensation Committee gain perspective on the compensation levels and practices at peer companies and to assess the relative competitiveness of the compensation paid to our executives. The
 market data thus guides the Compensation Committee in its efforts to set executive compensation levels and program targets at competitive levels for comparable roles in the marketplace. The Compensation Committee then considers other factors,
 such as the importance of each executive officer's role to the Company, individual expertise, experience, and performance, retention concerns and relevant compensation trends in the marketplace, in making its final compensation determinations.
 Typically, the Compensation Committee meets at least four times annually and with greater frequency if necessary and meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of
 management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background

 information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not participate in, or be present during, any deliberations or determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding his
 compensation or individual performance objectives. At least annually, the Compensation Committee will review and evaluate the performance of the Compensation Committee and its members, including compliance by the Compensation Committee with
 its charter.

 In addition, under the charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of Elicio, advice and assistance from
 compensation consultants, benefits consultants, independent legal counsel, or other advisors and other external resources the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee
 has direct responsibility for the oversight of the work of any consultants or advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion,
 compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant's reasonable fees and
 other retention terms. Under the charter, the Compensation Committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or other adviser to the Compensation Committee only after taking into consideration six
 factors, prescribed by the SEC and Nasdaq, that bear upon the adviser's independence.

 During the past fiscal year, after taking into consideration the six factors prescribed by the SEC and Nasdaq
 described above, the Compensation Committee engaged Aon plc as its compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee requested that Aon:

 •

 evaluate the efficacy of our existing compensation strategy and practices in supporting and reinforcing our long-term strategic goals;

 •

 assist in refining our compensation strategy and in developing and implementing an executive compensation program to execute that strategy;

 •

 assist in defining the appropriate market of our peer companies for executive compensation and practices and in benchmarking our executive compensation program against the peer group each year; and

 •

 assist the Compensation Committee in benchmarking our director compensation program and practices against those of our peers.

 Aon performs services on behalf of the Compensation Committee, relating to compensation consulting services. The Compensation Committee has authorized
 Aon to interact with management on behalf of the Compensation Committee, as needed in connection with advising and providing such compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee, and Aon is included in discussions with management
 and, when applicable, the Compensation Committee's outside legal counsel on matters being brought to the Compensation Committee for consideration.

 Our Board of Directors, at the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, has also delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to
 determine and approve the equity compensation payable to Elicio's employees and consultants who are not "officers" (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and who hold positions of Vice President and below.

 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 Following the Merger and currently, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Julian Adams, Ph. D., Carol Ashe, Yekaterina
 (Katie) Chudnovsky and Karen Wilson. Dr. Adams serves as the chairperson of the Committee. Each of the members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq relating
 to nominating and corporate governance committee independence. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet since the Merger during the remainder of fiscal year 2023. The Board of Directors has adopted a written Nominating
 and Corporate Governance Committee charter available to stockholders on our website at  and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's role and responsibilities set forth in the charter include, among other things:

 •

 evaluating and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of our Board of Directors;

 •

 overseeing our corporate governance policies, including developing and recommending to the Board of Directors Elicio's Corporate Governance Guidelines, and reporting and making recommendations to our Board of Directors concerning
 governance matters, including, but not limited to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and the charters of our other committees;

 •

 overseeing the performance evaluation process of the Board of Directors;

 •

 overseeing Elicio's environmental, social and governance strategy, initiatives and policies;

 •

 overseeing the process for executive officer succession planning (other than the Chief Executive Officer); and

 •

 overseeing and assessing the effectiveness of the relationship between the Board of Directors and Elicio's management.

 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including having the
 highest personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which
 to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of Elicio, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to
 rigorously represent the long-term interests of Elicio's stockholders. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed
 in the context of the current composition of the Board of Directors, the operating requirements of Elicio and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically
 considers diversity (including geographic background, gender, age, racial and ethnic diversity), skills and such other factors as it deems appropriate, given the current needs of the Board of Directors and Elicio, to maintain a balance of
 knowledge, experience and capability. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee appreciates the value of thoughtful Board refreshment, and regularly identifies and considers qualities, skills and other director attributes that would
 enhance the composition of the Board of Directors. The Committee takes into account the results of the Board of Directors' self-evaluation, conducted on a periodic basis, on a group and individual basis. In the case of new director candidates,
 the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice
 of counsel, if necessary. Then, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating
 and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate
 Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates' qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board of Directors by majority vote.

 Policy Regarding Consideration of Director Candidates Recommended by Stockholders

 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a policy regarding consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders.
 Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board of Directors may do so by delivering a written recommendation to the Corporate
 Secretary at Elicio Therapeutics, Inc., 451 D Street, Suite 501, Boston, MA 02210, in accordance with the procedures described in our Amended and Restated Bylaws. Written recommendations must include the following information: name and address
 of the nominating stockholder; a representation that the nominating stockholder is a record holder; a representation that the nominating stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual stockholder's meeting to nominate the
 person or persons specified; information regarding each nominee that would be required to be included in a proxy statement; a description of any arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and the nominee; and the consent
 of each nominee to serve as a director, if elected. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by a stockholder in the same manner as candidates identified by the Board of Directors.

 Communications with the Board of Directors

 Generally, stockholders who have questions or concerns should contact our Investor Relations department at IR@elicio.com. However, any stockholders who wish to
 address questions regarding our business directly with the Board, or any individual director, should direct his or her questions in writing to the Chairman of the Board at 451 D Street, Suite 501, Boston, MA 02210. Elicio will make every effort
 to ensure that communications are distributed to the Board, or to any individual director or directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications and that appropriate responses are provided to
 stockholders in a timely manner. Elicio believes its responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board of Directors is excellent. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board may be excluded, such as junk
 mail and mass mailings, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, surveys, and solicitations or advertisements.

 In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded, provided that any communication that is filtered out will be made
 available to any outside director upon request.

 Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our outstanding
 registered common stock to report their initial ownership of the common stock and other equity securities and any changes in that ownership in reports that must be filed with the SEC. The SEC has designated specific deadlines for these reports,
 and we must identify in our Annual Report on Form 10-K those persons who did not file these reports when due.

 Executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our
 outstanding registered common stock are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all required forms filed under Section 16(a). Based solely on a review of this information and written representations from these persons that no other
 reports were required, we believe that, during the prior fiscal year all of our executive officers, directors, and, to our knowledge, 10% stockholders complied with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, except that one
 Form 3 was filed late by each of Christopher Haqq and Yekaterina (Katie) Chudnovsky to report their initial beneficial ownership in
 Elicio following the Merger.

 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 Elicio has adopted the Elicio Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applying to all officers, directors,
 employees, and consultants. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at  If we make any substantive amendments to the
 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waiver from a provision of the Code to any executive officer or director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website.

 Corporate Governance Guidelines

 In June 2023, the Board of Directors adopted Angion's Corporate Governance Guidelines
 and, in February 2024, the Board of Directors amended the Corporate Governance Guidelines, to assure the Board of Directors will have the necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate Elicio's business operations as needed
 and to make decisions that are independent of Elicio's management. The guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors and management with those of our stockholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices
 the Board of Directors intends to follow with respect to Board composition and selection including diversity, Board meetings and involvement of senior management, and Board committees and compensation. The Corporate Governance Guidelines may
 be viewed on our website at

 Hedging Policy

 As part of our Insider Trading Compliance Policy, all employees, including our officers, directors, and consultants, are prohibited from engaging in
 short sales of our securities, establishing margin accounts, pledging our securities as collateral for a loan, buying or selling puts or calls on our securities or otherwise engaging in hedging transactions (such as zero-cost dollars, exchange
 funds, and forward sale contracts) involving our securities, or trading shares of Elicio securities on a short-term basis.

 Clawback Policy

 In October 2023, our Board of Directors adopted a Clawback Policy to comply with the new clawback rules and listing standards promulgated by the SEC and Nasdaq,
 respectively. The Clawback Policy generally provides that we will seek to recover, in the event of a required accounting restatement, excess incentive compensation received by covered officers where that compensation is based on erroneously
 reported financial information, regardless of fault or misconduct.

 Item 11. Executive Compensation.

 Executive Officer Compensation

 We are a "smaller reporting company" under Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, and the following compensation disclosure is intended to

 contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently

 Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

 Effective as of the effective time of the Merger, our Board appointed Mr. Connelly as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Prior to the completion of
 the Merger, Mr. Connelly was Chief Executive Officer of Former Elicio. Former Elicio entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Connelly in November 2018. The agreement provides for a base salary, which may be modified from time to time at
 the discretion of the Company's Board, and an annual performance bonus awarded at the discretion of the Company's Board. The agreement also provided for an initial option grant and a signing bonus.

 Mr. Connelly's base salary for fiscal year 2022 was $475,000, increased to $498,750 for fiscal year 2023, and, effective as of January 1, 2024, increased to $608,400

 Jay Venkatesan, M.D.

 Prior to the effective time of the Merger, Dr. Venkatesan was Angion's Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board. In March 2019, Angion entered
 into an amended and restated employment agreement with Dr. Venkatesan, amending his original employment agreement from April 2018, setting forth his base salary going forward and providing for an additional grant of shares of Angion's common
 stock. Dr. Venkatesan's employment ended effective as of the effective time of the Merger, or June 1, 2023. For fiscal year 2022, Dr. Venkatesan's base salary was $608,000 and remained $608,000 for fiscal year 2023.

 In January 2023, the Angion Board adopted the Angion Biomedica Corp. Retention Bonus
 Plan (the "Retention Bonus Plan"). Participants in the Retention Bonus Plan included Dr. Venkatesan. The Retention Bonus Plan provided for the payment of a cash retention bonus equal to 100% of a participant's base salary, 65% of which became
 earned and payable upon the occurrence of a corporate triggering event (defined to include a change in control (as defined in the 2021 Plan), a reverse merger or a dissolution) and 35% of which became earned and payable three months after the
 occurrence of such corporate triggering event, subject in each case to earlier payment upon the occurrence of a qualifying termination of the participant's employment by Angion without "cause" or by the participant for "good reason," each as
 defined in the Retention Bonus Plan. Upon the earlier of a corporate triggering event or a qualifying termination, time-based equity awards would vest in full, the post-termination exercise period of options held by the participant would be
 extended by four years (but no later than the original term of the option) and participants would receive an additional lump sum cash payment. Pursuant to the terms of the
 Retention Bonus Plan, Dr. Venkatesan received $2,082,850 in 2023. Dr. Venkatesan did not receive a bonus for 2022.

 Dr. Venkatesan received two stock option awards from Angion in March 2022. The first award granted Dr. Venkatesan an option to purchase 60,000 shares of Angion common
 stock, with such option vesting at a rate of 1/48th of the shares subject to the award each month following the vesting commencement date. This option award was subject to accelerated vesting under the Retention Bonus Plan and vested in full
 upon the closing of the Merger. The second award granted Dr. Venkatesan an option to purchase 16,000 shares of Angion common stock, with such option vesting at a rate of 50% on each of July 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

 bonus awarded at the discretion of the Company's Board. The agreement also provided for an initial option grant along with a sign-on bonus. Her employment ended effective as of the effective time of the Merger, or June 1, 2023. For fiscal year
 2022, Ms. Rhodes's base salary was $440,840 and remained $440,840 for fiscal year 2023.

 closing of the Merger. The second award granted Ms. Rhodes an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Angion common stock, with such option vesting at a rate of 50% on each of July 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

 Other Elements of Compensation

 Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits

 Mr. Connelly, Dr. Haqq and Mr. Piekos (the "Current Named Executed Officers") are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Program on the same terms as
 other full-time employees, subject to their continuing employment. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through a 401(k) Plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further
 incentivizes our employees, including our Current Named Executive Officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

 All of our full-time employees, including our Current Named Executive Officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans,
 including medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and life and AD&D insurance, subject to their continuing employment.

 Dr. Venkatesan and Ms. Rhodes were eligible to participate in Angion's 401(k) Program on the same terms as other full-time Angion employees during
 their employment. They were each eligible, along with all of Angion's full-time employees, to participate in Angion's health and welfare plans, which included medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability; and life
 and AD&D insurance.

 Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

 We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a Current Named Executive Officer when we believe it is necessary to
 attract or retain the Current Named Executive Officer. In 2022 and 2023, we did not provide any perquisites or personal benefits to our Named Executive Officers not otherwise made available to our other employees.

 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

 In February 2024, we entered into a new executive severance plan (the "Severance Plan") covering the Current Named Executed Officers, superseding and
 replacing the severance benefits they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

 In January 2023, Angion adopted the Retention Bonus Plan, which provided for the separation benefits paid to Dr. Venkatesan and Ms. Rhodes as set forth in the
 "Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table," which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

 Under our Severance Plan encompassing each of our Current Named Executive Officers, if such Current Named Executive Officer's employment with us is
 terminated without Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan), the applicable Current Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the product of (i) the Normal Multiplier (as defined in the Severance Plan) and (ii) the
 Current Named Executive Officer's then-current base salary. For our Current Named Executive Officers, the applicable severance is 9 months of continued base salary (or 12 months for Mr. Connelly). The Current Named Executive Officers are also
 entitled to continue participating in our health benefits for their applicable Severance Period (as defined in the Severance Plan). In the case of Mr. Connelly, any outstanding unvested, time-based equity awards scheduled to vest during the 12
 months following his termination date will fully vest as of the effective date of Mr. Connelly's termination of employment. In the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or resignation for Good Reason (as
 defined in the Severance Plan) during the Change in Control Period (as defined in the Severance Plan), the applicable Current Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the product of (i) the CIC Multiplier (as
 defined in the Severance Pan) and (ii) the Current Named Executive Officer's then-current base salary and then-current target annual bonus opportunity, payable as a one-time lump sum. For our Current Named Executive Officers, the applicable
 severance is equal to 12 months of base salary (or 18 months for Mr. Connelly). The Current Named Executive Officers are also entitled to continue participating in our health benefits for their applicable CIC Severance Period (as defined in the
 Severance Plan). Additionally, any outstanding unvested equity awards held by the Current Named Executive Officer under the Company's then-current outstanding equity incentive plan(s) will become fully vested as of the effective date of the
 Current Named Executive Officer's termination of employment. The foregoing severance benefits are subject to the applicable Current Named Executive Officer's delivery of an executed release of claims against us within 60 days following
 termination or such shorter time period as may be set forth, and continued compliance with the Current Named Executive Officer's confidentiality obligations or restrictive covenants in effect prior to termination.

 Director Compensation

 We amended and restated our compensation policy for our non-employee directors ("Director Compensation Program") effective as of December 2023. Such
 Director Compensation Program is subject to further amendment by the Board of Directors as appropriate. Pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors receive cash compensation as follows:

 •

 Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer in the amount of $40,000 per year.

 •

 The Non-Executive Chairperson will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $35,000 per year.

 •

 The chairperson of the Audit Committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $15,000 per year for such chairperson's service on the Audit Committee. Each non-chairperson member
 of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $7,500 per year for such member's service on the Audit Committee.

 •

 The chairperson of the Compensation Committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000 per year for such chairperson's service on the Compensation Committee. Each
 non-chairperson member of the Compensation Committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per year for such member's service on the Compensation Committee.

 •

 The chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $8,000 per year for such chairperson's service on the Nominating and
 Corporate Governance Committee. Each non-chairperson member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per year for such member's service on the
 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

 Under the Director Compensation Program, as amended and restated by the Board of Directors in December 2023, each non-employee director will
 automatically be granted an option to purchase 8,200 shares of our common stock upon the director's initial appointment or election to our Board of Directors (the "Initial Grant") and an option to purchase 4,100 shares of our common stock
 automatically on the date of each annual stockholder's meeting thereafter, (the "Annual Grant"), unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors.

 The Initial Grant will vest as to 1/36th of the underlying shares on a monthly basis over three years, subject to continued service through each
 applicable vesting date. The Annual Grant will vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the date of the next annual stockholder's meeting to the extent unvested as of such date, subject to continued service through
 each applicable vesting date. The exercise price per share of director options is equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date, and the director options will vest in full upon (i) a termination of service due
 to the director's death or Disability (as defined in the 2021 Plan) and (ii) the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Plan).

 Each non-employee director is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket and other business expenses incurred by the
 non-employee director in the performance of his or her duties to the Company in accordance with the Company's applicable expense reimbursement policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

 These plans consist of the 2021 Plan, the Second Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The 2021 Plan contains an "evergreen" provision, pursuant to which the number
 of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under such plan shall be increased on the first day of each year equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted
 basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) if our Board acts prior to the first day of the fiscal year, such lesser amount that our Board determines for purposes of the annual increase of the fiscal year.
 As of January 1, 2024, the 2021 Plan was increased by 480,282 shares pursuant to such evergreen provision. The ESPP contains an "evergreen" provision, pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant
 to awards under such plan shall be increased on the first day of each year equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the
 last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) if our Board acts prior to the first day of the fiscal year, such lesser amount that our Board determines for purposes of the annual increase of the fiscal year. As of January
 1, 2024, the ESPP was increased by 1% of share outstanding shares as of January 1, 2023 pursuant to such evergreen provision.

 (2)

 These plans consist of the Former Elicio 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, the former Elicio 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and inducement stock options granted pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4). In connection with
 the commencement of his employment with us on June 1, 2023, Mr. Piekos received a grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 75,484 shares of common stock as an inducement award material to Mr. Piekos entering into employment
 with us pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4). In August 2023, we granted an aggregate of 72,980 inducement stock options to two additional employees, as an inducement material to each employee entering into employment with us in
 accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed the Former Elicio 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and the former Elicio 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Former Elicio Plans") and all
 stock options issued and outstanding under the Former Elicio Plans. Each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Former Elicio common stock was adjusted with such Company stock options henceforth representing the right to
 purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock based on the Merger exchange ratio of 0.0181. Any restriction on the exercise of any Former Elicio stock options assumed by the Company will continue in full force and effect
 and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, accelerated vesting provisions, and any other provisions of such Former Elicio stock option will otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that Elicio's Board of Directors or a
 committee thereof will assume the responsibility and the authority of Former Elicio's Board of Directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Former Elicio stock option assumed by the Company. See Note 8 of the financial
 statements included in the Original 10-K for descriptions of each of the equity plans.

 Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,
 and Director Independence.

 The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2022 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed
 the lesser of (x) $120,000 or (y) 1% of our total assets at December 31, 2023, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or
 will have a direct or indirect material interest other than compensation and other arrangements that are described in the section titled "Executive Compensation." We also describe below certain other transactions with our directors, former
 directors, executive officers and stockholders.

 All of the transactions set forth below were approved by a majority of our Board of Directors. We believe we have executed all of the transactions set
 forth below on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their
 affiliates are approved by our Audit Committee, and a majority of the members of our Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our Board of Directors, and are on terms no less favorable to us than
 those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

 Subscription Agreements

 December 2023

 In December 2023, we entered into a subscription agreement (the "December Subscription Agreement") with GKCC, LLC (the "Purchaser"), an entity which is controlled by
 a member of our Board of Directors, providing for the issuance and sale by us to the Purchaser of an aggregate of 1,213,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price per share of $5.81 (the "December Offering").
 The gross proceeds to us from the December Offering was approximately $7.0 million. The closing of the December Offering occurred in December 2023. Upon closing of the December Offering, the Purchaser became a greater than 10% holder of our
 shares of common stock outstanding.

 Pursuant to the December Subscription Agreement, we are obligated, among other things, to file a registration statement with the SEC by March 31, 2024 for purposes of
 registering the shares for resale by the Purchaser, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective no later than 30 days after filing such registration statement with the SEC, or in the
 event the SEC reviews and has written comments to the registration statement, within 90 days following the receipt of such written comments. The December Subscription Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this
 type, including certain customary indemnification rights and certain customary cash penalties on us for our failure to satisfy specified filing and effectiveness time periods.

 March 2024

 In March 2024, we entered into a subscription agreement (the "March Subscription Agreement") with the Purchaser, an entity controlled by a member of our Board of
 Directors and which owns greater than 10% of our shares of common stock outstanding, providing for the issuance and sale by us to the Purchaser of pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase up to 1,032,702 shares of our common
 stock, at a purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant of $5.81 (the "March Offering"). The March Offering closed on March 19, 2024 (the "March Offering Closing Date"). Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the March
 Offering Closing Date at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant, subject to a post-exercise beneficial ownership limitation of 19.99%, unless Stockholder Approval
 (defined below) is obtained. The gross proceeds to us from the March Offering were approximately $6.0 million.

 Pursuant to the March Subscription Agreement, we are obligated, among other things, to file a registration statement with the SEC by June 30, 2024 for purposes of
 registering the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrant Shares") for resale by the Purchaser, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement
 declared effective no later than 30 days after filing such registration statement with the SEC, or in the event the SEC reviews and has written comments to the registration statement, within 90 days following the receipt of such written
 comments. The March Subscription Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary indemnification rights and certain customary cash penalties on us for our failure to satisfy
 specified filing and effectiveness time periods.

 In addition, pursuant to the March Subscription Agreement, no later than six months following the March Offering Closing Date, we have agreed to use commercially
 reasonable efforts to obtain such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor entity) from the stockholders of Elicio with respect to a change of control of Elicio pursuant to
 Section 5635(b) of the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market resulting from beneficial ownership in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding common stock upon the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares ("Stockholder Approval").

 Support Agreements

 Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, executive officers, directors and stockholders of Angion entered into support agreements in
 favor of Elicio relating to the Merger (the "Angion Support Agreements"). The Angion Support Agreements provide, among other things, that such officers, directors and stockholders will vote all of their shares of Angion common stock: (i) in
 favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger, the Merger related stock issuance proposal and reverse stock split proposal, and the other transactions and actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any
 proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the Merger and (iii) against any acquisition proposal involving a third party.

 Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, executive officers, directors and stockholders of Elicio entered support agreements in favor of Angion relating to the Merger (the
 "Elicio Support Agreements"). The Elicio Support Agreements provide, among other things, that such executive officers, directors and stockholders vote all of their shares of Elicio capital stock: (i) in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement
 and approving the Merger, the items in connection with the Merger requiring Elicio stockholder consent and the other transactions and actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any proposal made in opposition to, or in
 competition with, the Merger Agreement or the Merger and (iii) against any acquisition proposal involving a third party.

 Danforth Advisors Consulting Agreement

 In March 2013, Elicio entered into a Consulting Agreement with Danforth Advisors, LLC ("Danforth"). Daniel Geffken, Former Elicio's interim Chief
 Financial Officer, is a managing director of Danforth. Pursuant to the agreement, Danforth provided chief financial officer services, business consulting and advisory services, including accounting and controller services that were necessary
 to support the management and operations of Former Elicio's business. The agreement had been amended in each of 2014, 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2021 to modify the scope of services provided. The agreement terminated in August 2023. As
 consideration under the agreement, Elicio paid Danforth consulting fees generally based on hourly rates as enumerated in the agreement, or for specific agreed upon fees for specific projects or services. Elicio paid Danforth approximately
 $0.7 million and $0.4 million for its services in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Mr. Geffken received grants of options to purchase common stock from time to time in his capacity as a consultant and, separately, received additional grants in
 his capacity as a member of Former Elicio's Board. Mr. Geffken did not receive any options to purchase shares of Elicio common stock in connection with his service as a consultant.

 Director Independence

 Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members. Our Board of Directors has determined all of our directors, other than Dr. Venkatesan and
 Mr. Connelly, qualify as "independent" directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. Dr. Venkatesan is not considered independent because he was an employee of Angion for a period of time within the prior three years. Mr.
 Connelly is not considered independent as he is currently an employee of the Company. In addition, as required by the Nasdaq rules, our Board of Directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships
 exist that, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed
 information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or
 executive officers.

 Indemnification Agreement with Directors and Officers

 We provide indemnification for our directors and executive officers so that they will be free from undue concern about personal liability in
 connection with their service to Elicio. Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, we are required to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the extent not prohibited under Delaware or other applicable law. We have also entered into
 indemnity agreements with certain officers and directors. These agreements provide, among other things, that we will indemnify the officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for in the agreement, for expenses,
 losses and liabilities (including all interest, taxes, assessments and other charges in connection therewith) that he or she may incur in connection with any proceeding or in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to his or her
 status as a director or officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

 Our Board of Directors has adopted a related party transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the identification, review and
 approval or ratification of related party transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar
 transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and a related party were or will be participants and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, including purchases of goods or services by or from the related party or entities in which the
 related party has a material interest, indebtedness and guarantees of indebtedness. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances as appropriate, such as if the
 transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm's length dealings with an unrelated third party, the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction, as well as taking into account the conflicts of interest
 and corporate opportunity provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 connection with other regulatory filings or engagements. Fees for the year ended December 31,2023 include services associated with the Merger and services rendered for the 2023 audit. Fees for the year ended December 31, 2022 include

 Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered
 public accounting firm, Baker Tilly US, LLP. The policy generally pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as
 part of the Audit Committee's approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services
 may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee's members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has determined that services may be pre-approved by its
 Chairperson.

 The Audit Committee has determined the rendering of services other than audit services by Baker Tilly US, LLP is compatible with maintaining the
 principal accountant's independence.
