· 2 sources

Forbes Middle East reports Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel is donating $355M in stock options to undisclosed charitable causes, citing his Jesuit background.

What happened

Forbes Middle East reports that Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel is donating stock options valued at $355M to charitable causes that have not been disclosed.

According to the outlet, Bancel wrote that his Jesuit background motivated the planned donations. He said it instilled in him the idea of servant leadership, or existing to serve a greater good.

Separately, TIKR.com reports that Moderna shares fell 12% over a week and that Bancel wants an FDA filing before the end of the year. The sources do not say what the filing covers.

Context

Stock options give holders the right to buy company shares at a set price, and executives often receive them as part of their pay.

Why it matters

The donation and the filing goal both concern Moderna's leadership and direction, which investors who follow MRNA may take into account.
