We are filing this Amendment pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K that we did not include in the Original Filing, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Therefore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Original Filing and our other filings made with the SEC after the filing of the Original Filing. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Paratek”, “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires or indicates.

Ms. Baylor-Henry has served as the President of B-Henry & Associates, a consulting firm focused on providing regulatory and compliance strategy services to life sciences companies, since 2015.

Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D. has served on our Board since October 2014. Dr. Stein was elected as the Lead Independent Director of our Board in December 2022. Dr. Stein has been the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Cidara Therapeutics, Inc., or Cidara since 2014.

We believe Dr. Stein's qualifications to sit on our Board include his prior executive management roles at multiple biopharmaceutical companies, including a focus on development of antibacterials, his medical and research backgrounds, and experience in the healthcare financing industry.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board is led by our Executive Chairman, Mr. Bigham and our Lead Independent Director, Dr. Jeffrey Stein. We believe that a structure of an Executive Chairman with an extensive history and knowledge of the Company, a Lead Independent Director and a separate Chief Executive Officer provides the most effective way for the Board and management to act with a common purpose, and for there to be independent leadership at the Board level. We also believe that having our Executive Chairman along with our Lead Independent Director is the most effective structure at the Company's current stage of development, provides the investment community with clear independent leadership, enhances our ability to develop and implement strategy and provides a clear chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans. We believe that the appointment of Dr. Stein to the Lead Independent Director role provides clear governance visibility at the Board level. As Lead Independent Director, Dr. Stein assumes all the duties and responsibilities of the position, including presiding over executive sessions of independent directors, acting as externally facing independent director, and coordinating with Mr. Bigham, Executive Chairman in overall corporate governance and Board matters.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board actively oversees potential risks and risk management activities through its committee work and by receiving operational and strategic presentations from management that includes discussions of key risks to the business. The Board is kept informed of the financial, legal, regulatory, and reputational risks inherent in our business, including implications of cybersecurity risks identified by management and our response to those risks at regular intervals.

In addition, the Board has delegated risk oversight to each of its key committees within their respective areas of responsibility. We believe that the Board leadership structure facilitates the division of risk

management oversight responsibilities among the Board committees and enhances the Board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different business risks and risk mitigation practices.

Board Committees

We currently maintain three committees of the Board and have adopted charters for such committees: an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board. Each committee’s charter is available under the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.paratekpharma.com. The reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this 10-K/A.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is composed of Dr. Dietz, Ms. Baylor-Henry, Ms. Peterson and Dr. Stein, with Dr. Dietz serving as chair of the committee. Our Board has determined, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the "Exchange Act") and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that Dr. Dietz is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the SEC regulations and applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. The audit committee report will be included in the definitive proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting to be filed later this year. Our Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, and it reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter annually.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

SEC regulations require us to identify in this proxy statement anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent fiscal year. Based solely on our review of copies of such forms that we have received, or written representations from reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, all executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders complied with all applicable SEC filing requirements, except for, due to an administrative oversight, five late Form 4s filed on March 23, 2022 on behalf of Dr. Loh, Mr. Bigham, Mr. Brenner, Mr. Haskel and Mr. Woodrow, which reported 236,250 restricted stock units, or RSUs, 202,500 RSUs, 67,500 RSUs, 67,500 RSUs, and 101,250 RSUs, respectively, that vested as to 15/45 of the shares subject to the restricted stock units on December 10, 2022, and on the same calendar date of each successive year thereafter until fully vested, subject to the Reporting Person’s continued service with the Issuer through each vesting date.

Code of Conduct and Business Ethics

Our Board has adopted a code of conduct and business ethics which applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. The full texts of our code of business conduct and ethics are posted on our website at http://www.paratekpharma.com under the Investor Relations section. We intend to disclose future amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics, or certain waivers of such provisions, at the same location on our website identified above and also in public filings. The inclusion of our website address in this report does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this report.

In December 2022, our Board adopted an updated non-employee director compensation policy, effective January 1, 2023, or the 2023 Policy, that outlines the eligibility of non-employee directors to receive cash and equity compensation for service on our Board and committees of our Board. The 2023 Policy is substantially similar to the 2022 Policy, except that each non-employee director will now receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000 and the Lead Independent Director will receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

This summary describes the compensation of (1) our Executive Chairman, Michael F. Bigham, (2) our Chief Executive Officer, Evan Loh, M.D., and (3) our President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adam Woodrow. We refer to these individuals in this proxy statement as, collectively, our named executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our named executive officers, including base salary, cash and equity incentive compensation levels, severance arrangements, change in control benefits and other forms of executive compensation. Our Compensation Committee is also responsible for evaluating the Company’s performance against its goals and making related executive compensation recommendations to our Board, assessing the performance of our named executive officers, and ensuring our compensation program is aligned with the compensation objectives and philosophy described below and competitive with the compensation programs of other companies in our industry that compete with us for talent.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

Our Compensation Committee believes that the most effective compensation program will promote performance consistent with the Company's strategy and goals, encourage progress toward achieving our mission, and reward value creation for our shareholders. Our compensation program is designed to:

■maintain a culture of “pay for performance”;

■attract and retain superior executive officers and other employees with the skills and values to contribute to our long-term success;

■ensure compensation reflects the contribution each executive officer makes towards our success;

■provide incentives that motivate and reward the achievement of both short- and long-term performance goals that drive future shareholder value; and

■align executives’ interests with those of shareholders by awarding a majority of overall compensation in the form of long-term incentives that vest over time and in certain instances based on the achievement of long-term performance criteria.

To achieve its objectives, our Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program with the goal of setting target total compensation at levels that align with our mission, size and life

stage. While we do not have a formal or informal policy for allocating between long-term and short-term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among different forms of non-cash compensation, we generally strive to provide our executive officers with a balance of short-term and long-term incentives to encourage consistently strong performance, and we generally pay total cash compensation within the 45th to 70th percentile and equity incentive compensation generally within the 75th percentile, respectively, of our peer group, based on company and individual performance. To incentivize strong performance, as described in more detail under “Elements of Compensation— Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives” and “Elements of Compensation— Equity Incentive Awards,” several key elements of our executive compensation are variable—annual cash incentive compensation, which is earned based on our Compensation Committee's assessment of annual performance, RSU awards subject to time-based vesting and PRSU awards subject to performance-based vesting.

Executive Compensation Process

At least annually, our Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s compensation philosophy and reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relating to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other officers, including our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of our officers in light of these goals and objectives and determines and approves, or recommends to our Board for approval, the compensation levels of our officers’. As part of evaluating our executive officers' performance and determining their compensation, our Compensation Committee receives recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation and performance and that of the Executive Chairman). Our Chief Executive Officer’s performance is evaluated directly by the Compensation Committee (in consultation with the Executive Chairman). Evaluations of our named executive officers are based on our overall corporate performance against annual goals that are approved by the Board at the beginning of each year, as discussed in more detail below. In 2022, in addition to considering performance against annual corporate goals, the Compensation Committee included outstanding achievements as part of the evaluation.

Annual base salaries for a given fiscal year, and annual performance-based cash and equity incentive awards for the prior fiscal year are generally determined in the first quarter of the fiscal year based on company and individual performance of the prior year, as well as other factors, including compensation trends in the biopharmaceutical industry and among our benchmark peers. We expect this general timing to continue in future fiscal years.

Role of Compensation Consultants

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain, at our expense, one or more third-party compensation consultants to assist the Compensation Committee in performing its responsibilities and to terminate the services of the consultant if the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate. The Compensation Committee annually evaluates its engagement of compensation consultants and has retained Pearl Meyer as its independent compensation consultant. Pearl Meyer provides analysis and recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding:

■group selection for executive compensation benchmarking;

■design of equity incentives, including market-based view of equity usage and mix and other environmental factors (e.g., proxy advisory views, tax and accounting, valuation and benchmarking approaches, etc.);

■the competitiveness of our Board compensation program; and

■the competitiveness of our executive compensation program.

Pearl Meyer participates in meetings of our Compensation Committee, including executive sessions in which executive compensation issues are discussed, when requested to do so. For fiscal 2022, Pearl Meyer advised the Compensation Committee on all principal aspects of our executive compensation, including the selection of our peer group for fiscal 2023, executive compensation arrangements of new hires and in providing a competitive assessment of our executive compensation program and non-employee director compensation policy.

Pearl Meyer meets with company management for purposes of gathering information for their analyses and recommendations. In February 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of Pearl Meyer, taking into consideration relevant factors, including the absence of other services provided to the Company by Pearl Meyer, the amount of fees the Company paid to Pearl Meyer as a percentage of Pearl Meyer’s total revenue, the policies and procedures of Pearl Meyer that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationship of the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer with an executive officer of the Company, any business or personal relationship Pearl Meyer or the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer have with any member of the Compensation Committee, and any stock of the Company owned by the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer.

The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer pursuant to requisite SEC rules and has determined, based on its analysis in light of all relevant factors, including those listed above, that the work of Pearl Meyer and the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer as compensation consultants to the Compensation Committee have not created any conflicts of interest, and that Pearl Meyer is independent pursuant to the independence standards set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards promulgated pursuant to Section 10C of the Exchange Act.

The primary elements of our 2022 executive compensation program were:

(1) The target mix is based on an average of Mr. Bigham, Dr. Loh and Mr. Woodrow’s compensation elements. The long-term equity incentive compensation target mix reflects the grant date fair value of the time-based RSUs and grant date fair value of the PRSUs, assuming the highest level of performance was achieved.

In addition, we provide our executives with benefits that are available to all employees, including medical and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts and a 401(k) plan.

Compensation Paid in 2022 and Grants for 2023

Base Salary

In February 2023, our Compensation Committee approved base salaries for fiscal 2023 and target fiscal 2023 annual cash incentives for our named executive officers. With respect to Mr. Bigham, Dr. Loh and Mr. Woodrow, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved their performance for the year ended December 31, 2022, which we refer to as fiscal 2022.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation

We have designed our annual performance-based cash incentive program to emphasize pay-for-performance and to reward our executive officers for the achievement of our performance during the preceding year guided by specified annual corporate goals. Historically, each named executive officer has been eligible, at our Board’s discretion, to receive an annual performance-based cash incentive, which we also refer to as an annual cash incentive, in an amount corresponding to a percentage of his or her base salary. The amount of the annual cash incentive for each named executive officer is determined upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee. In making such determinations and recommendations, the Compensation Committee examined the performance against specific corporate goals, as well as unanticipated outstanding achievements by us in the preceding year.

Our Compensation Committee has targeted annual cash incentive levels for our named executive officers at the 50th percentile for “meets target” company performance and may at its discretion pay out above target for outstanding performance. Our Compensation Committee has authority to adjust a named executive officer’s ultimate payment amount in connection with its annual review of each executive officer’s performance.

Given the nature of our business, the determination of annual incentives for our executives has been tied to achieving our financial targets, advancing our commercial and development stage products and accomplishing operational goals. Each executive officer has a target cash incentive amount that is set as a percentage of his or her base salary, which is also based, in part, on peer group benchmarks. The amount of the cash incentives awarded by the Compensation Committee to our named executive officers each year is based on the achievement of performance and corporate goals set by the Compensation Committee in advance, which are designed to capture the important operational and financial aspects of the organization. In 2022, in addition to considering performance against annual corporate goals, the Compensation Committee included outstanding achievements as part of the evaluation.

The Compensation Committee determined achievement of 81% out of a target 100% of corporate goals, and achievement of 30% out of a total of 45% for stated stretch goals. The Compensation Committee also awarded an additional 10% in the aggregate for outstanding achievements, ultimately exercising discretion to payout a maximum payout of 120%.

Our Compensation Committee approved the 2022 corporate goals, including stretch goals and additional achievements, as follows:

Long-Term Equity Awards

In February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved fiscal 2022 annual equity awards for the named executive officers. These recommendations were approved by the Board in February 2022 in the amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, which corresponded generally to the 75th percentile of our peer group with respect to equity incentive compensation. For each named executive officer's fiscal 2022 annual equity awards, 55% of each named executive officer's award was in the form of performance-based restricted stock unit, or PRSU, awards and the other 45% was in the form of time-based RSU awards. The aggregate number of RSU awards and PRSU awards granted to each named executive officer was based on the named executive officer's existing equity incentive holdings, level of responsibility within our company, equity ownership in relation to the peer group benchmark, and the Compensation Committee's subjective assessment of the named executive officer's individual performance and our overall company performance, in each case without reference to any specific metric.

The RSU awards approved in February 2022 are eligible to vest as follows: 1/3 vested on December 10, 2022, or the Initial Vesting Date, with an additional 1/3 of the RSU awards vesting on each anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date thereafter until fully vested.

The PRSU awards approved in February 2022 are eligible to vest upon achievement of the following milestones: (i) 35/55 on achievement of Net NUZYRA Core Commercial Revenues CY 2022 equal to or greater than $105 million, and (ii) 10/55 on achievement of BARDA acceptance of Second Procurement, (iii) 10/55 on achievement of an ex-U.S. partnership for NTM by December 31, 2024.

Revenue Performance Incentive Plan

On October 4, 2018, the Company adopted the Revenue Performance Incentive Plan, or the Plan, to grant performance-based cash incentive awards to key employees and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for an incentive pool of up to $50 million, plus accrued interest during the period between the awards’ vesting date and payment dates. As of December 31, 2020, the following percentages of the incentive pool were allocated to the named executive officers: (i) 25% to Mr. Bigham, (ii) 25% to Dr. Loh, and (iii) 14% to Mr. Woodrow.

The incentive pool is divided into two equal tranches with the first tranche being achieved upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative net product revenues over $300 million by December 31, 2025, or Tranche 1, and the second tranche being achieved upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative product revenues over $600 million by December 31, 2026, or Tranche 2. Participants vest annually in each tranche of their awards in four equal installments on December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, subject to their continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. If a participant’s employment terminates prior to December 31, 2022 due to death or disability, the participant will automatically vest in an additional 25% of each tranche of his or her award. Upon the achievement of a Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 milestone (but not a deemed achievement in connection with a change of control), each participant who has remained in continuous employment with the Company through December 31, 2022 will be 100% vested in the applicable tranche. In the event of a change of control of the Company prior to December 31, 2026, participants whose employment has terminated prior to such date will be eligible for payouts under the Plan based on the then-vested portion of their awards, and participants who have remained employed through the change of control will be deemed to have time-vested in full in each tranche of their awards.

Upon the achievement of a Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 milestone (but not a deemed achievement in connection with a change of control), each participant’s payout in respect of the applicable tranche of his or her award will equal (a) the participant’s then-vested percentage, multiplied by (b) $25 million, multiplied by (c) the participant’s individual percentage allocation of the incentive pool.

Amounts that become payable upon achievement of the Tranche 1 milestone will be paid in a lump-sum in the first quarter of 2026 and amounts that become payable upon achievement of the Tranche 2 milestone will be paid in a lump-sum in the first quarter of 2027. In the event of a change of control, any portion of the incentive pool that is earned, but unpaid, or deemed earned in connection with the change of control will be paid at the time of the change of control.

Awards may be paid out in cash or in a combination of cash and registered securities of equal value (based on the Company’s 20-day trailing average closing common stock price), with the portion paid in registered securities not to exceed 50% of the aggregate payment amount with respect to each tranche; provided, however, that any amounts payable with respect to an award in connection with a change in control will be paid in cash.

The grant date fair value of Mr. Woodrow’s PRSU award, assuming the highest level of performance was achieved, would be $1,485,990.

(12)Amount reflects the grant date fair value of the time-based RSU award granted to Mr. Woodrow in 2020 of $236,925. Because, as of the grant date, it was not deemed probable that the performance-vesting conditions on Mr. Woodrow’s PRSU award would be achieved, no value is shown in the table above for the PRSU award. The grant date fair value of Mr. Woodrow’s PRSU award, assuming the highest level of performance was achieved, would be $552,825.

(6)The table does not show any payments that may be payable to the executives in connection with any parachute payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Revenue Performance Incentive Plan

Under the Revenue Performance Incentive Plan, if a change of control occurs prior to December 31, 2026, and the Tranche 1 milestone was not achieved prior to the change of control, the Tranche 1 milestone will be deemed to be achieved at a percentage equal to the greater of (1) 50% and (2) the cumulative product revenues as of the change of control, divided by $300 million. If a change of control occurs prior to December 31, 2026, and the Tranche 2 milestone was not achieved prior to the change of control, the Tranche 2 milestone will be deemed to be achieved at a percentage equal to the greater of (1) 30% and (2) the cumulative product revenues as of the change of control, divided by $600 million. A participant’s payout in respect of each tranche of his or her award in a change of control will equal (1) the participant’s then-vested percentage of such tranche, multiplied by (2) the percentage of that tranche’s milestone that has been achieved or is deemed to have been achieved, multiplied by (3) $25 million, multiplied by (4) the participant’s individual percentage allocation of the incentive pool.

If a change of control occurs prior to the achievement of the Tranche 2 milestone, the award will remain outstanding and the remaining unpaid portion of the incentive pool applicable to the Tranche 2 milestone, will be paid following the achievement of such milestone at the time or times the bonuses would otherwise be paid out. Any successor in interest to the Company upon or following a change of control will be required to assume all obligations under the Plan.

Employment and Severance Agreements

We have employment agreements with each of our current named executive officers. The agreements generally provide for at-will employment and set forth the executive officer’s initial base salary, annual performance bonus opportunity, initial equity grant amount and eligibility for employee benefits. In addition, each of our named executive officers has executed a form of our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement. The key terms of the offer letters are described below; however, the fiscal 2022 base salary and bonus opportunity for each named executive officer can be found above under “Elements of Executive Compensation.” A “qualifying termination” for the purposes of the employment agreements is defined as a termination of the executive officer by us without cause, other than as a result of the executive officer’s death or disability, or the resignation of the executive officer’s employment with us with good reason.

Michael F. Bigham

In June 2014, Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (prior to its merger with Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) entered into an offer letter agreement, or the Bigham Agreement, with Mr. Bigham, pursuant to which he commenced employment on an at-will basis as our Chief Executive Officer. Upon termination of Mr. Bigham’s employment for any reason other than by Paratek without cause or by him with good reason, he will be paid all accrued but unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid bonus, reimbursement for business expenses incurred but

not yet paid and all accrued but unused vacation. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Mr. Bigham’s unvested options and other equity awards will become fully vested if his employment is terminated by Paratek without cause or by him for good reason or if a change of control occurs and the Company elects to accelerate vesting of any other employees’ or directors’ awards, provided, in each case, that any equity awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be deemed to have been achieved at target. Upon termination of Mr. Bigham’s employment at any time by Paratek without cause or by him with good reason, he will receive all accrued but unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid bonus, reimbursement for business expenses incurred but not yet paid and all accrued but unused vacation. In addition, subject to Mr. Bigham’s execution of a general release and waiver of claims in favor of Paratek and our affiliates, he will be eligible to receive cash severance equal to twelve months of his annual base salary, a prorated portion of the performance bonus he would have earned for the year in which his employment terminates and twelve months of continued health care insurance coverage.

The Bigham Agreement was amended in August 2017 to provide that if any payments or benefits Mr. Bigham receives constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, he will be entitled to a full reimbursement by the company of all associated taxes that arise.

The Bigham Agreement was further amended effective July 1, 2019 to reflect his transition from the role of Chief Executive Officer, his appointment as Executive Chairman, and adjustments to his salary and bonus target. Mr. Bigham receives an annual base salary and an annual discretionary bonus target, which was 60% of his annual base salary as of December 31, 2022.

Evan Loh, M.D.

In September 2014, Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (prior to its merger with Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) entered into an offer letter agreement, or the Loh Agreement, with Dr. Loh, pursuant to which he commenced employment on an at-will basis as our President and Chief Medical Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Loh Agreement, Dr. Loh receives an annual base salary and provides for an annual discretionary bonus target which was 60% of his annual base salary as of December 31, 2022.

The Loh Agreement was further amended and restated in June 2017 to provide severance benefits consistent with those of other executive officers. Upon termination of Dr. Loh’s employment for any reason other than by Paratek without cause or by him with good reason, he will be paid all accrued but unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid bonus, reimbursement for business expenses incurred but not yet paid and all accrued but unused vacation, and Dr. Loh’s options will terminate, as to all unvested shares, as of his termination date. Upon termination of Dr. Loh’s employment at any time by Paratek without cause or by him with good reason, he will receive all accrued but unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid bonus, reimbursement for business expenses incurred but not yet paid and all accrued but unused vacation. In addition, subject to Dr. Loh’s execution of a general release and waiver of claims in favor of Paratek and our affiliates, he will be eligible to receive cash severance equal to twelve months of his annual base salary, a prorated portion of the performance bonus he would have earned for the year in which his employment terminates and twelve months of continued health care insurance coverage.

The Loh Agreement was amended in August 2017 to provide that if any payments or benefits Dr. Loh receives constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, he will be entitled to a full reimbursement by the company of all associated taxes that arise.

The Loh Agreement was further amended effective July 1, 2019 to reflect Dr. Loh’s election to Chief Executive Officer of the Company and adjustments made to his salary and bonus target.

Adam Woodrow

In October 2014, Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into an offer letter agreement with Adam Woodrow, pursuant to which he commenced employment on an at-will basis as our Chief Commercial Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Woodrow agreement, Mr. Woodrow receives an annual base salary and provides for an annual discretionary bonus target which was 45% at December 31, 2022.

The Woodrow Agreement was amended in August 2017 to provide that if any payments or benefits Mr. Woodrow receives constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, he will be entitled to a reimbursement by the company of all associated taxes that arise, subject to a cap of $2.5 million through March 31, 2020 and a cap of $1.5 million thereafter.

The Woodrow Agreement was further amended effective July 1, 2019 to reflect Mr. Woodrow’s election to President and Chief Commercial Officer of the Company and adjustments made to his salary and bonus target.

Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm. 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. All of the services provided by Ernst & Young LLP during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were pre-approved in accordance with the pre-approval policy and procedures adopted by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of services other than audit services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining their independence.
