SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 21, 2017
May 17, 2017
This Supplement relates to the proxy statement, dated April 27, 2017 (the “2017 Proxy Statement”), of AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) for its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at One Broadway, 5th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02142 on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time.
This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.
In light of the untimely passing of Mr. Henri A. Termeer, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), on May 12, 2017, the Board has reduced the size of the Board from five to four members. The Board is not nominating a replacement Director at this time, but will initiate a process to potentially add one or more directors to the Board in the future. The Company has named Kenneth M. Bate as Lead Director. The Board also recomposed the members of the standing committees of the Board as follows:
| • | Audit Committee: Kenneth M. Bate (chair), Anthony B. Evnin, Ph.D. and Robert C. Young, M.D.; |
| • | Compensation Committee: Kenneth M. Bate, Anthony B. Evnin, Ph.D. (chair) and Robert C. Young, M.D.; |
| • | Nominating and Governance Committee: Anthony B. Evnin, Ph.D. and Robert C. Young, M.D. (chair). |
The other four nominees named in the 2017 Proxy Statement, Messrs. Bailey and Bate and Drs. Evnin and Young, will continue to stand for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The form of proxy card included in the original distribution of the 2017 Proxy Statement remains valid; however, any votes that are submitted with instructions to vote for all of the Board’s nominees will be voted only for the four remaining nominees, as named in the 2017 Proxy Statement.
