Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On December 10, 2008, Alfacell Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting certain financial and other information for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008. A copy of the Company’s press release dated December 10, 2008 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in that filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 12, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that Lawrence A. Kenyon, the Company’s president, chief financial officer and corporate secretary resigned as an employee of the Company, effective as of December 12, 2008. Mr. Kenyon will remain on the Company’s board of directors and will also serve as acting president, chief financial officer and corporate secretary until at least January 31, 2009. A copy of the Company’s press release dated December 12, 2008 is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Kenyon’s stock option agreement with the Company currently provides that all options, which have not vested as of the date his employment with the Company is voluntarily terminated by Mr. Kenyon, will terminate as of that date and all options which have vested as of that date will remain exercisable in accordance with their terms for the six month period following the date Mr. Kenyon’s employment with the Company was terminated. In consideration for his continued service as an officer of the Company and pursuant to the authority granted to the board of directors under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the board of directors determined that Mr. Kenyon’s unvested options shall continue vesting according to their existing vesting schedule until such date as Mr. Kenyon ceases to be the Company’s acting president, chief financial officer and corporate secretary and the options held by Mr. Kenyon which have vested as of the date he ceases to be the Company’s acting president, chief financial officer and corporate secretary shall remain exercisable in accordance with their terms for the six month period after that date. Mr. Kenyon will continue to receive no compensation for serving on the board of directors until such time as he ceases to be the Company’s acting president, chief financial officer and corporate secretary, after which it is expected that he will receive the same compensation as is received by the other non-employee directors for so long as he continues to serve on the board of directors.
