Dear colleagues:

 

Many of you have already decided to participate in the options exchange, but for those of you who have not, this is a final reminder that the offer to exchange your Eligible Options for New Options is still open, and you have time to make an election before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, September 17, 2021.

 

As I’ve said before, neither I, nor the company, is advising you to participate in this program, as the decision to do so is entirely yours – however, we would strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the program, if you have not already done so.

 

My hope with the Option Exchange program, is that it provides an opportunity for Intercept employees who choose to take advantage of the offering, to reset their long-term incentives and look forward to being part of the exciting journey ahead of us.
