Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.
Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

Exelixis is an oncology company that discovers, develops and sells medicines for cancer. Founded in 1994, it is headquartered in South San Francisco. Its principal medicine is cabozantinib, a drug that blocks proteins involved in cancer growth. It is sold as CABOMETYX tablets and COMETRIQ capsules for different types of cancer.
In the United States, CABOMETYX is approved for advanced kidney cancer, including use alongside Bristol-Myers Squibb’s OPDIVO, and for certain previously treated liver, thyroid and neuroendocrine tumors. COMETRIQ is approved for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. Physicians select these medicines for eligible patients, while Exelixis markets its cabozantinib products in the United States and works with partners overseas.
