Exhibit 10.3
EQUITY COMPENSATION
Each Non-Employee Director shall be granted the following awards of Restricted Stock Units (each, an “RSU Award”) under and subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Plan under and within the meaning of the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity Plan”). Each RSU Award shall be granted subject to an award agreement in substantially the form previously approved by the Board, and in the following amounts:
| | |
Initial RSU Award | | A number of Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to $240,000 divided by the Reference Price. |
| |
Subsequent RSU Award | | A number of Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the $120,000 by the Reference Price. |
For purposes of this Program, the “Reference Price” shall mean the closing sales price of one share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant or on the last preceding trading day if the date of grant is not a trading day.
A. Initial RSU Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date shall receive the Initial RSU Award on the date of such initial election or appointment. No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial RSU Award.
B. Subsequent RSU Awards. A Non-Employee Director who (i) has been serving as a Non-Employee Director on the Board for at least six (6) months as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the Effective Date and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such meeting, shall be automatically granted a Subsequent RSU Award on the date of such annual meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive an Initial RSU Award in connection with such election, and shall not receive any Subsequent RSU Award on the date of such meeting as well.
C. Termination of Employment of Employee Directors. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial RSU Award, but to the extent that they are otherwise entitled, will receive, after termination of employment with the Company and any subsidiary of the Company, a Subsequent RSU Award.
