Summary

Summary of the 10-K/A filed March 30, 2015. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for fiscal 2014 from Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation, restates Part III of the original 10-K filed February 27, 2015.

The amendment was filed solely to provide governance, executive compensation, beneficial ownership, related-party, and accounting fee information that the original filing had incorporated by reference from the 2015 proxy statement, and to change the cover page's 'Documents Incorporated by Reference' section to 'None.' Financial statements are not included in this amendment, and the filing states that information is as of December 31, 2014. The filing describes Insmed as a biopharmaceutical company focused on ARIKAYCE (liposomal amikacin for inhalation) for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections and cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections, and on INS1009, an inhaled treprostinil prodrug. It reports that a Marketing Authorization Application for ARIKAYCE was filed with the European Medicines Agency and validated in February 2015, and that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for ARIKAYCE in NTM lung infections.

A 2014 underwritten public offering provided net proceeds of approximately $108.0 milliona. For governance and compensation, the Board is designated to have up to nine directors, with Donald Hayden, Jr. as Chairman and William H. Lewis as President and CEO.

The Audit Committee consists of David W.J. McGirr (Chairman and audit committee financial expert), Steinar J. Engelsen, M.D., and Alfred F.

Altomari, all determined to be independent. Shareholders approved say-on-pay with over 98%b of votes cast at the 2014 annual meeting, and the next advisory vote is scheduled for 2017.

The 2014 corporate bonus payout was 103% of target. Ernst & Young's total fees were $527,274c for 2014 compared with $550,703 for 2013.
