How many shares will be issued under the grant and what percentage of the total outstanding shares does that represent?

Shares to be issued under the grant

• The Compensation Committee approved a grant of non‑qualified stock options that, when exercised, will allow the purchase of 181,450 shares of Viridian Therapeutics’ common stock.

What percentage of the company’s outstanding shares does this represent?

To express the grant as a percentage of the total outstanding shares, the following formula is used:

[
\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Shares in the grant}}{\text{Total outstanding shares}} \times 100\%
]

Plug‑in the numbers:

[
\text{Percentage} = \frac{181,450}{\text{Total outstanding shares}} \times 100\%
]

However, the news release does not disclose Viridian Therapeutics’ total number of outstanding shares.

Without that figure, the exact percentage cannot be calculated from the information provided.

How you could compute it if the outstanding‑share count were known

Bottom line

• Shares to be issued: 181,450 shares.
  
• Percentage of total outstanding shares: Cannot be determined from the press release alone; you would need Viridian Therapeutics’ current total outstanding share count (available from the company’s most recent SEC filings, investor presentations, or other public disclosures) and then apply the formula above.
