On January 25, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Liquidia Corporation (the "Company") adopted the Liquidia Corporation 2022 Inducement Plan (the "2022 Inducement Plan"). The 2022 Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options.

The Board has reserved 310,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to equity awards granted under the 2022 Inducement Plan, and the 2022 Inducement Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, equity awards under the 2022 Inducement Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Board (or any subsidiary of the Company), or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company (or a subsidiary of the Company), if he or she is granted such equity awards in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary.

A complete copy of the 2022 Inducement Plan, the Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement to be used thereunder, are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
