Syndax Pharmaceuticals' stockholders approved two new equity plans, authorizing a significant pool of shares for future compensation and employee purchases. The 2026 Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of 7.2 million new shares, plus additional shares recycled from a prior plan, while the 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan reserves 500,000 shares.
