2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On July 15, 2020, Leo’s shareholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan allows for the issuance and repurchase of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)) and other stock-based awards. Directors, officers and employees, as well as others performing independent consulting or advisory services for the Company or its affiliates, are eligible for grants under the 2020 Plan. The aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2020 Plan is approximately 11.6 million. The 2020 Plan terminates on June 24, 2030. The related costs were approximately $5.3 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in “Salaries and related costs” within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the closing trading price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units
On April 12, 2022, the Board voted to award 762,000 RSUs consisting of 381,406 performance-based vesting RSUs (“PRSUs”) and 381,406 time-based vesting RSUs (“TRSUs”) to executive management and certain key employees under the 2020 Plan. On July 1, 2022, the Board voted to award 326,000 RSUs consisting of 163,000 PRSUs and 163,000 TRSUs to executive management under the 2020 Plan. The TRSU and PRSUs vest one-fourth each year based on four years of continuous service starting with January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2026.

Vesting of the PRSUs are also subject to certain performance metrics of the Company, which the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement on a quarterly basis. The TRSU’s related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The PRSU awards’ expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period.

On August 4, 2022, the Board voted to award an aggregate of 52,545 RSUs to the Company’s non-employee directors under the 2020 Plan. The RSUs will vest on the date of the annual shareholder’s meeting or on the anniversary of the award, whichever occurs first, and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
