Dear Fellow Innoviva Stockholder:

I am pleased to invite you to attend Innoviva, Inc.’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held on Friday, May 14, 2021 in a virtual meeting format only at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INVA2021. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

Your Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) is recommending a highly qualified, experienced and diverse slate of director nominees for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, we will ask you to: (1) elect six directors; (2) cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation; (3) ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and (4) take action upon any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

The accompanying materials include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement describes the business that we will conduct at the Annual Meeting. It also provides information about us that you should consider when you vote your shares.

In addition to providing information about the enclosed proxy statement and our annual meeting of stockholders, I wanted to provide an update on our recently-concluded arbitration with Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (“Theravance Biopharma”) and matters related to GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”), our largest stockholder and the entity from which all of our royalty revenues are derived.

In late 2020, Theravance Biopharma initiated a new arbitration proceeding against us in which it again challenged our authority as manager of Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC”) to make strategic investments of TRC revenues to increase the long-term value of TRC. On March 30, 2021, following a full hearing, oral arguments and briefing, the arbitrator issued a final arbitration award in our favor concluding that we indeed have broad authority to make a wide range of investments to increase the long-term value of TRC. We view this as an important and validating step in our continuing efforts to effectively manage TRC and to maximize its value which complements our broader strategic focus on shareholder value creation at Innoviva. We continue to believe that making strategic investments to increase the value of TRC is in the best interests of TRC and its members.

We would expect that all Innoviva stockholders should be pleased by our efforts to create potentially significant value-enhancing optionality for all members of TRC, including Innoviva. However, on February 12, 2021, the last business day before the commencement of the arbitration hearing, GSK made a public statement opposing our efforts and supporting Theravance Biopharma in the arbitration. GSK even testified against Innoviva in the arbitration. In its public statement, GSK stated, among other things, that GSK views the pursuit of investment opportunities [by Innoviva] on behalf of TRC to be “contrary to its objective of maximizing the value of its investment.” [Emphasis Added]. In light of GSK’s various interests and positions (including in Theravance Biopharma), we are unclear as to which investment GSK is referring.

Importantly, in its public statement, GSK failed to disclose any of its relationships or interactions with Theravance Biopharma, including that it is Theravance Biopharma’s largest stockholder, and therefore could benefit from Theravance Biopharma prevailing against Innoviva in the arbitration, a benefit which is not shared by all Innoviva stockholders. We believe that it is important that all Innoviva stockholders are aware of and understand these conflicts.

addressing significant unmet medical needs that affect millions of patients worldwide, such as the need for anti-infectives, and increasing long-term value for all Innoviva stockholders. Innoviva’s Board of Directors remains committed to acting in the best interest of all Innoviva stockholders.

For more information related to our relationship with GSK, including risks related to our dependence on GSK and actions that GSK may take to harm us and our stockholders, please refer to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Also enclosed with these proxy materials is a proxy card and postage-paid return envelope. Proxy cards are being solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors.

Whether or not you will be able to attend the Annual Meeting, it is very important that your shares be represented. We urge you to read the accompanying Proxy Statement carefully and to use the enclosed proxy card to vote for the Board of Directors’ nominees, and in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations on the other proposals, as soon as possible. You may vote your shares by signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. For your convenience, you may also vote your shares via the Internet or by a toll-free telephone number by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card.

If your brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization is the holder of record of your shares (i.e., your shares are held in “street name”), you will receive voting instructions from the holder of record. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Your broker is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee, by following those instructions, to vote your shares on the proxy card.

Holders of shares as of the close of business on March 29, 2021, the record date for voting at the Annual Meeting, are urged to submit a proxy card, even if your shares were sold after such date.

If you have any questions regarding this information or the proxy materials, please visit our website at www.inva.com or contact our investor relations department at investor.relations@inva.com.

On behalf of your Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support and interest.

Very truly yours,

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) for use at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Friday, May 14, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and any postponements or adjournments thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INVA2021. As used in this Proxy Statement, the terms “Innoviva,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Innoviva, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of Innoviva, Inc. is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting to be held on Friday, May 14, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and any postponements or adjournments thereof. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet.

We intend to mail this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card on or about April 2, 2021 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is included in the proxy materials?

The proxy materials include:

•

This Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting;

•

Our 2020 Annual Report to Stockholders, which consists of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

•

The proxy card.

Can I attend the Annual Meeting?

You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner as of March 29, 2021 (the “Record Date”). Admission will begin at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on the date of the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INVA2021, and you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice to be admitted. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 101,408,012 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have the right to one vote for each share they held as of the Record Date.

In accordance with Delaware law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available upon email request to our investor relations department at investor.relations@inva.com.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by proxy via telephone or the Internet as instructed on your proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on the Record Date your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. If you do not provide instructions for voting the shares that you beneficially own, that organization cannot vote your shares on the election of directors (Proposal 1) or on the non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation (Proposal 2). We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization that is the record holder of your shares. A number of brokers and banks enable beneficial holders to give voting instructions via telephone or the Internet. Please refer to the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting unless you provide a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other custodian.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

Many of our stockholders hold their shares in more than one account and may receive separate proxy cards or voting instructions forms for each of those accounts. If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please sign, date and return or otherwise submit your proxy with respect to each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

If you have any questions regarding this information or the proxy materials, please visit our website at www.inva.com or contact our investor relations department at investor.relations@inva.com.

What am I voting on?

The following chart sets forth the proposals scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors recommendation with respect to such proposals, the vote required for such proposals to be approved and whether broker discretionary voting is allowed on such proposals.

Proposal	Board Recommendation	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed
Proposal 1: Elect six directors to serve until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.	FOR	Majority Votes Cast	No
Proposal 2: Approval of a non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation.	FOR	Majority Votes Cast	No
Proposal 3: Ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.	FOR	Majority Votes Cast	Yes

Majority Votes Cast means, with respect to Proposal 1, that the number of votes cast “FOR” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election and, with respect to Proposals 2 and 3, that the proposal would be approved if it receives an affirmative majority of the votes cast. For this purpose, votes cast shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes.

Broker Discretionary Voting occurs when a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and votes those shares in its discretion on any proposal on which it is permitted to vote.

In an uncontested election of directors, such as Proposal 1, our Bylaws mandate that directors be elected by a majority vote of votes cast, as described below under “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS — MAJORITY VOTING BYLAW.” In contested elections, our Bylaws mandate that directors be elected by a plurality vote. For purposes of our Bylaws, a contested election is any election of directors for which our Secretary determined that the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected as of the date seven days prior to the scheduled mailing date of the proxy statement for such meeting. Our Secretary has determined that the election at the Annual Meeting is an uncontested election. Accordingly, the provisions of our Bylaws relating to majority voting for directors in uncontested elections will be applicable to the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to our Bylaws, written notice by stockholders of qualifying nominations for election to our Board of Directors must have been received by our Secretary by January 25, 2021. We did not receive any such nominations and no other nominations for election to our Board of Directors may be made by stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

If for some reason any of the Board of Directors’ nominees are unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, if elected, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee recommended by the Board of Directors and, unless you indicate otherwise on the proxy card, your shares will be voted in favor of the Board of Directors’ remaining nominees. As of the date of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we know of no reason why any of the Board of Directors’ nominees would be unable or for good cause unwilling to serve as a director if elected.

How do I vote?

With regard to the election of directors (Proposal 1), you may (i) vote “For” the six nominees to the Board of Directors, (ii) vote “Against” the election of one or more of the nominees and vote “For” the remaining nominees, (iii) vote “Against” all of the nominees or (iv) withhold your authority to vote for any nominee you specify. You may not vote your proxy “For” the election of any persons in addition to the six named nominees. For Proposals 2 and 3, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. The procedures for voting are explained below.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, you may vote by using the enclosed proxy card, vote by proxy on the Internet or by telephone, or vote at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote through the virtual format if you have already voted by proxy.

•

To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

•

To vote on the Internet, please follow the instructions provided on your proxy card.

•

To vote by telephone, please follow the instructions provided on your proxy card.

•

To vote at the Annual Meeting, join the Annual Meeting and follow the instructions received.

We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent as of the Record Date, you should have received instructions for granting proxies with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. A number of brokers and banks enable beneficial holders to give voting instructions via telephone or the Internet. Please refer to the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must provide a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other

agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of Common Stock you owned as of the Record Date.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted (1) “For” the election of each of the six nominees for director, (2) “For” approval of the non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation and (3) “For” ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021.

If you are not a record holder (i.e., your shares are held through a broker, bank, brokerage firm, dealer or other similar organization), your broker is required to vote such shares in accordance with the instructions you provide. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1) or on the non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation (Proposal 2).

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named in the proxy card and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any. Abstentions, which will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining a quorum, will not be considered in determining the results of the voting for any of the proposals on the agenda. Broker non-votes, if any, as described in the next paragraph, have no effect and will not be counted toward the vote total for any of the proposals on the agenda. Broker non-votes will be counted toward the quorum requirement.

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules on which your broker may vote shares held in street name without your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Under current broker voting rules, any election of a member of the Board of Directors, whether contested or uncontested, is considered “non-discretionary” and therefore brokers are not permitted to vote your shares held in street name for the election of directors in the absence of instructions from you. Each of the proposals other than Proposal 3 are “non-discretionary” and therefore if you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other agent, your shares will not be voted on Proposals 1 or 2 unless you provide voting instructions to the record holder.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of four ways:

•

You may change your vote using the Internet or telephone methods described above prior to the Annual Meeting, in which case only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted.

•

You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

•

You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our investor relations department at investor.relations@inva.com.

•

You may attend the Annual Meeting through the virtual format at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INVA2021 and vote. If you are not a record holder of shares, you must provide a “legal” proxy from the record holder in order to vote your shares through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of Common Stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole routine matter — Proposal 3 (to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP). Your broker will not have discretion to vote on the following “non-routine” matters absent direction from you: Proposal 1 (the election of directors) or Proposal 2 (the advisory resolution regarding executive compensation). Please note that brokers may not vote your shares on the election of directors in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote, so we encourage you to provide instructions to your broker regarding the voting of your shares.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if a majority of all shares outstanding on the Record Date, are represented at the Annual Meeting by stockholders present either through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. On the Record Date, there were 101,408,012 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 50,695,141 shares must be represented by stockholders present either through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting or by proxy to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted toward the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy vote or vote through the virtual format at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and any broker non-votes will be counted toward the quorum requirement.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Innoviva or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published, if available, on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the end of the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to report preliminary results, and to file an amendment to such Form 8-K to report the final results within four business days after the final results are known to us.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. We intend to engage the services of a professional proxy solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies from certain brokers, bank nominees and other institutional owners. Our costs for such services, if retained, will not be significant. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.

What does it mean if multiple members of my household are stockholders but we only received one set of proxy materials in the mail?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and, if applicable, the proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, stockholders should send their requests to our investor relations department at investor.relations@inva.com. Stockholders who hold shares in street name (as described below) may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s Annual Meeting?

If you wish to submit a proposal to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials or nominate a director, your proposal must be in proper form according to SEC Regulation 14A, Rule 14a-8 and be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company on or before December 2, 2021. If you wish to submit a proposal to be presented at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders but which will not be included in the Company’s proxy materials, your Solicitation Notice, as defined in our Bylaws, must be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Innoviva, Inc., 1350 Old Bayshore Highway, Suite 400, Burlingame, California 94010, Attention: Corporate Secretary, no earlier than January 17, 2022 and no later than February 16, 2022. You are advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. Innoviva’s current Bylaws may be found on the corporate governance subsection of the investor relations section of our corporate website at “www.inva.com.”

Is there any other information that may be important to stockholders?

We would expect that all Innoviva stockholders should be pleased by our efforts to create potentially significant value-enhancing optionality for all members of TRC, including Innoviva. However, on February 12, 2021, the last business day before the commencement of the arbitration hearing, GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) made a public statement opposing our efforts and supporting Theravance Biopharma in the arbitration. GSK even testified against Innoviva in the arbitration. In its public statement, GSK stated, among other things, that GSK views the pursuit of investment opportunities [by Innoviva] on behalf of TRC to be “contrary to its objective of maximizing the value of its investment.” [Emphasis Added]. In light of GSK’s various interests and positions (including in Theravance Biopharma), we are unclear as to which investment GSK is referring.

We value the opinion of all Innoviva stockholders, including GSK, and have had multiple conversations with GSK. We intend to continue those conversations. We acknowledge, however, that certain individual stockholders may have interests that diverge from what is in the best long-term interests of Innoviva and all of its stockholders. We believe that the strategic growth and corporate development initiatives we have been undertaking at Innoviva, including through our ownership and management of TRC, will help to diversify Innoviva’s asset base beyond the GSK royalty streams and lessen our dependence on GSK while addressing significant unmet medical needs that affect millions of patients worldwide, such as the need for anti-infectives, and increasing long-term value for all Innoviva stockholders. Innoviva’s Board of Directors remains committed to acting in the best interest of all Innoviva stockholders.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of six directors, following the March 9, 2021 appointment of Deborah L. Birx, M.D., who most recently served as the response coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Dr. Birx’s career highlights also include having served as Ambassador-at-Large, when she assumed the role of the Coordinator of the United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS and U.S. Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy. Dr. Birx also served as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator where she oversaw the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) at the CDC and as the Director of the U.S. Military HIV Research Program (USMHRP) at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.

The six nominees for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting, and their ages as of the Record Date, their positions and offices held with the Company and certain biographical information are set forth below. Your proxy cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” all of the Board of Directors’ nominees.

Each director to be elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until the director’s death, resignation or removal or until they are replaced. All of the nominees listed below are currently directors of the Company and their nomination has been recommended by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. It is our policy to encourage nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting. Generally, we schedule our annual meeting of stockholders on the same day as a meeting of our Board of Directors to facilitate attendance by the director nominees. All of our five directors serving as of our 2020 annual meeting attended the meeting.

Required Vote for Proposal 1

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of each of the director nominees. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” on each of the nominees for election as director. Shares represented by signed proxy cards will be voted on Proposal 1 “FOR” the election of Messrs. Bickerstaff, DiPaolo and Haimovitz and Drs. Birx, Kostas and Schlesinger to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting, unless otherwise marked on the card. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, a majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast “FOR” a director’s election must exceed fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. For this purpose, votes cast shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes. A broker non-vote with respect to the election of a director will not be voted with respect to such director, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended, each of Messrs. Bickerstaff, DiPaolo and Haimovitz and Drs. Birx, Kostas, and Schlesinger have tendered an irrevocable, conditional resignation that will be effective only upon both (i) the failure of such director to receive the required vote at the Annual Meeting for reelection and (ii) our board of directors’ acceptance of such resignation. If any of the director nominees fail to receive the required vote for reelection, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will act on an expedited basis to determine whether to accept such director’s resignation, and it

will submit its recommendation for prompt consideration by our Board of Directors. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. See “Election of Directors — Majority Voting Bylaw” below for more information.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE COMPANY’S NOMINEES.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As required under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), a majority of the members of a Nasdaq-listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by its board of directors. Our Board of Directors consults with counsel to ensure that the Board of Directors’ determinations are consistent with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

Management and counsel have reviewed the directors’ responses to a questionnaire asking about their transactions, relationships and arrangements with the Company (and those of their immediate family members) and other potential conflicts of interest. Other than as set forth in this Proxy Statement, these questionnaires did not disclose any transactions, relationships or arrangements that question the independence of our directors. After reviewing this information, our Board of Directors affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Bickerstaff and Haimovitz, and Drs. Birx and Schlesinger are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS — MAJORITY VOTING BYLAW

Our Bylaws contain a majority voting standard in uncontested elections of directors. The majority voting standard provides that a director shall be elected to the Board of Directors by the vote of the majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. Under such a “majority voting standard,” the number of votes cast “For” the election of a nominee must exceed fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that nominee’s election. Under a majority voting standard, abstentions and broker non-votes would not be counted as votes cast either “For” or “Against” a director’s election and will thus have no effect in determining whether the requisite vote had been obtained. However, in the event of a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting held for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. A contested election means any election of directors for which the Secretary of the Company determined that the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected as of the date seven days prior to the scheduled mailing date of the proxy statement for such meeting. In a contested election, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against any nominee.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended, the Board of Directors shall nominate for election or reelection as director only candidates who have tendered, in advance of such nomination, an irrevocable, conditional resignation that will be effective only upon both (i) the failure to receive the required vote at the next stockholders’ meeting at which such person faces reelection and (ii) the Board of Directors’ acceptance of such resignation. In addition, the Board of Directors shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board of Directors, the same form of resignation tendered by other directors in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended.

Under the Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended, if an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for reelection, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will act on an expedited basis to determine whether to recommend that the Board of Directors accept such director’s irrevocable, conditional resignation, and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall submit such recommendation for prompt consideration by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall decide whether to accept such resignation and shall promptly disclose and explain its decision in a Current Report on Form 8-K (or successor form) filed with the SEC within ninety (90) days after the date the results of the relevant election are certified by the inspector of elections. An incumbent director whose resignation is under

consideration shall abstain from participating in the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s deliberations and recommendation regarding such resignation as well as the Board of Directors’ deliberations and its decision regarding such resignation. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant in deciding whether to recommend that the Board of Directors accept a director’s resignation. In deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation, the Board of Directors shall consider the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, the factors considered by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and any additional information and factors that the Board of Directors believes to be relevant. If the incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, he or she shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until sooner displaced. If the Board of Directors accepts such an incumbent director’s resignation or if a nominee who failed to receive the required vote is not an incumbent director, the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy or decrease the size of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

As required under Nasdaq listing standards, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors typically presides over these executive sessions.

Current Committee Chairperson.

In December 2020, Dr. Schlesinger replaced Dr. Kostas on our Audit Committee; Mr. DiPaolo departed our Compensation Committee; and Messrs. Bickerstaff and Haimovitz replaced Mr. DiPaolo and Dr. Kostas on our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. Dr. Birx did not serve on our Board of Directors in 2020 and accordingly was not a member of any committee at such time. In March 2021, Dr. Birx replaced Dr. Schlesinger on our Audit Committee and replaced Mr. Bickerstaff on our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee meets the applicable rules and regulations regarding “independence” and that each such member is free of any relationship that would interfere with his individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting practices, systems of internal controls, enterprise risk management and financial reporting processes. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee determines and approves the engagement of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews and approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; confers with management and the independent auditors regarding the effectiveness of internal controls, financial reporting processes and disclosure controls; reviews our overall enterprise risk management framework, consults with management and the independent auditors regarding our policies governing financial risk management; reviews and discusses reports from the independent auditors on critical accounting policies used by us; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; reviews and approves related-person transactions in accordance with our policies and procedures with respect to related-person transactions and applicable Nasdaq rules; reviews the financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K; and discusses with management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of quarterly reviews and any significant changes in our accounting principles. In addition, following the execution of our strategic transaction with Sarissa Capital Management LP (“Sarissa Capital”) in December 2020, the Audit Committee assumed the responsibility to manage, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the relationship with Sarissa Capital. This includes the responsibility to make all decisions, and take all actions, under our agreements with Sarissa Capital. Our Audit Committee charter can be found on the corporate governance section of our corporate website at www.inva.com. The current members of the Audit Committee are George W. Bickerstaff, III (Chairperson), Deborah L. Birx, M.D. and Jules Haimovitz. The Audit Committee met 6 times during 2020. Prior to or promptly following the Annual Meeting, we expect the Board of Directors to appoint directors to the Audit Committee following the expiration of the current Audit Committee members’ terms.

The Board of Directors annually reviews the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members and has determined that all current and prospective members of our Audit Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in the Nasdaq listing standards). The Board of Directors has determined that George W. Bickerstaff, III is an audit committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K. The Board of Directors made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Bickerstaff’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his educational and professional background and experience.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our overall compensation strategy and policies. Specifically, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers and other senior management; reviews and approves the compensation and other terms of employment of our principal executive officer and other executive officers; approves the individual bonus programs in effect for the principal executive officer, other executive officers and key employees for each fiscal year; recommends to the Board of Directors the compensation of the directors; recommends to the Board of Directors the adoption or amendment of equity and cash incentive plans and approves the adoption of and amendments to these plans; grants stock options and other equity awards; administers our equity incentive plans and similar programs; monitors application of stock ownership guidelines; and administers, concurrently with the Board of Directors, the executive officer recoupment policy. A more detailed description of the Compensation Committee’s functions can be found in the Compensation Committee’s charter, which is published in the corporate governance section of our website at www.inva.com. The current members of the Compensation Committee are George W. Bickerstaff, III, Jules Haimovitz (Chairperson), and Sarah J. Schlesinger, M.D. All current members of the Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is defined for board members in the Nasdaq listing standards and as independence is defined for compensation committee members in the Nasdaq listing standards). Prior to or promptly following the Annual Meeting, we expect the Board of Directors to appoint directors to the Compensation Committee following the expiration of the current Compensation Committee members’ terms.

The Compensation Committee met 4 times during 2020. Our Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the determination of his own compensation or the compensation of directors. However, he may make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the amount and form of the compensation of the other executive officers and key employees, and may participate in the Compensation Committee deliberations about their compensation. No other executive officers participate in the determination of the amount or form of the compensation of executive officers or directors.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve as directors of the Company (consistent with criteria approved by the Board of Directors), evaluating and making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning stockholder nominees for election as directors, reviewing and evaluating incumbent directors, recommending to the Board of Directors for selection candidates for election to the Board of Directors, making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the membership of the committees of the Board of Directors, assessing the performance of the Board of Directors and advising the Board of Directors on corporate governance principles for the Company. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee charter can be found on the corporate governance section of our corporate website at www.inva.com. The current members of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are Deborah L. Birx, M.D., Jules Haimovitz and Sarah J. Schlesinger, M.D. (Chairperson). Prior to or promptly following the Annual Meeting, we expect the Board of Directors to appoint directors to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee following the expiration of the current Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee members’ terms. All current members of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in the Nasdaq listing standards). The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee met 4 times during 2020.

Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand basic financial statements and having the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee also considers such factors as having relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, sufficient time to devote to our affairs, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, the ability to exercise sound business judgment and the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. However, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of our Board of Directors, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity as one of the factors it considers in conducting its assessment of director nominees, along with such other factors as it deems appropriate given the then current needs of the Board of Directors and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability. In the case of incumbent directors, our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to the Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee must be independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board of Directors. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board of Directors by majority vote.

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by the Board of Directors or the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. If a stockholder of the Company wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating/Corporate Governance

Committee, the stockholder recommendation should be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, and must include information regarding the candidate and the stockholder making the recommendation as required by the Stockholder — Director Communications Policy. Our Stockholder — Director Communications Policy can be found on the corporate governance section of our website at www.inva.com.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Each of George W. Bickerstaff, III, Mark A. DiPaolo, Esq., Jules Haimovitz, and Sarah J. Schlesinger, M.D. served on the Compensation Committee during all or a portion of 2020. None of the members of the Compensation Committee during 2020 were at any time during the 2020 fiscal year (or at any other time) an officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Mr. George W. Bickerstaff III, an independent outside director, has served as Chairperson of the Board of Directors since December 2020. Prior to that, Dr. Kostas served as chairperson. The Board Chairperson serves as chairperson for meetings of the Board of Directors and coordinates the activities of the Board of Directors, including coordinating an appropriate schedule of Board of Directors and committee meetings, developing agendas for meetings of the Board of Directors, coordinating on the quality, quantity and timeliness of information submitted by management to directors, discussing the results of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance evaluation with the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee and coordinating with the Corporate Secretary responses to questions and/or concerns from stockholders, employees or other interested parties.

Our Board of Directors has determined to separate the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while further enabling the Chairperson of the Board of Directors to lead the Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Our Board of Directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that our Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairperson of the Board of Directors, particularly as our business initiatives have expanded and the Board of Directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow. We believe that having separate positions and having an independent outside director serve as Chairperson of the Board of Directors is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance.

RISK OVERSIGHT MANAGEMENT

The Audit Committee reviews our overall enterprise risk management framework, including our overall risk exposures and our processes around the management and monitoring of such risks, and the allocation of responsibilities for specific risk areas across our management, the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee will discuss with our management our major financial, legal, reporting and compliance risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies and guidelines. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation programs and discusses with management its annual assessment of our employee compensation policies and programs.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors met 17 times during 2020. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the period for which such member was a director or committee member.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Stockholders interested in communicating with the Board of Directors or a particular director should send correspondence to Innoviva, Inc. at 1350 Old Bayshore Highway, Suite 400, Burlingame, California 94010, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Each communication should set forth (i) the name and address of the stockholder as it appears on the Company’s books and, if the Common Stock is held by a brokerage firm or other intermediary, the name and address of the beneficial owner of the Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are owned of record by the record holder and beneficially by the beneficial owner. Pursuant to our stockholder-director communications policy, the Corporate Secretary has been instructed, in his/her discretion, to screen out communications from stockholders that are not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. If deemed an appropriate communication, the Corporate Secretary will forward such communication, depending on the subject matter, to the chairperson of a committee of the Board of Directors or a particular director, as appropriate.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Company has adopted the Innoviva, Inc. Code of Business Conduct that applies to all directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct, as amended and restated on March 9, 2021, is available on the corporate governance section of our website at www.inva.com. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Business Conduct or grants any waiver from a provision of the Code of Business Conduct to any executive officer or director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver as required by applicable law.

Our non-employee directors receive both cash and equity compensation for services provided as a director. Equity compensation is structured as periodic grants under a program implemented under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Incentive Plan”), which are non-discretionary.

During 2020, the Compensation Committee retained Aon Consulting, Inc. (“Aon”) as its independent compensation consultant to provide analyses and recommendations with respect to our director compensation programs. The Compensation Committee considered Aon’s recommendations in setting 2020 director compensation and discussed the final director compensation arrangements with Aon to ensure that the package was in-line with market norms and consistent with our overall compensation philosophy. For additional information regarding the Compensation Committee’s engagement of Aon, please see the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Committee” beginning on page 23.

Initial Equity Awards — On the date of joining our Board of Directors, each new non-employee director is granted a one-time initial RSU award covering a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to $125,000 divided by the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. This initial RSU award vests in two equal annual installments over the director’s first two years of service. In addition, the new non-employee director also receives the annual equity award described above (if joining on the date of our annual meeting of stockholders) or a pro-rated annual equity award (if joining on any other date) that vests on the sooner of the next annual stockholder meeting or the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. The size of each pro-rated annual equity award is based on the number of whole months remaining until the anniversary of the prior year’s stockholders’ meeting.

All RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors pursuant to the grant program will vest in full if the Company is subject to a change in control or the director dies while in service and will be settled in shares of our Common Stock on the vesting date. RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors pursuant to the grant program will also vest in full if the director becomes disabled while in service. Additionally, all RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors pursuant to the grant program carry dividend equivalent rights to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on the underlying shares of our Common Stock while unvested, which are paid in cash upon vesting.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

In July of 2010, the Board of Directors adopted stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors. Pursuant to these guidelines, beginning on the later of July 20, 2015 or after five years of service, non-employee directors are expected to hold shares of our Common Stock (including RSUs, whether or not

vested) with a value equal to at least three times their annual base cash retainer. The guidelines were amended in October of 2017 to increase the number of shares our non-employee directors are expected to hold to a value equal to at least ten times their annual cash retainer. Our non-employee directors have five years from the date of the amendment to comply with the increased guideline. As none of our non-employee directors have served on the Board of Directors for five years, they are not required to meet the share ownership thresholds under the guideline.

We have not adopted any practice or policy regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

PROPOSAL 2

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with SEC rules, stockholders are being asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This is commonly referred to as a “Say-On-Pay” proposal.

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. As described further in the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” section of this Proxy Statement, beginning on page 21, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the related tables and narrative, the primary goals of our compensation program are to fairly compensate employees, attract and retain highly qualified employees, motivate the performance of our employees towards, and reward the achievement of, clearly defined corporate goals, and align our employees’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders.

2020 was a strong year for Innoviva, as we met and exceeded all of the corporate goals that were set for the year. Royalty revenues grew meaningfully during the year, despite a challenging business environment, while operating expenses continued to decline, resulting in significantly higher pre-tax income and operating cash flow. We enhanced our capital allocation strategy, deploying nearly $400 million of capital across a number of promising assets, and improved the company’s strategic positioning. We ended the year with record levels of cash and investments.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are asking stockholders to vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the 2020 Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying tables and narrative, including “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

This Say-On-Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, however, and will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation programs.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the

Annual Meeting. Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Grant Thornton LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are counted toward a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the audit fees also include the review of quarterly financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10 Q, fees for services associated with our registration statements, and accounting consultations.

All fees described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified services in defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts, as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP or on an individual case-by-case basis before Grant Thornton LLP is engaged to provide a service. The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of the services other than audit services by Grant Thornton LLP is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE(1)
