Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
As described below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), on May 9, 2024, at the 2024 annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (the “Company”), the Company’s shareholders approved the Second Amended and Restated DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “A&R LTIP”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on March 20, 2024 subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting. The effective date of the A&R LTIP is May 9, 2024. The A&R LTIP increased the aggregate number of the Company's common shares (“Common Shares”) Common Shares reserved and available for issuance since the inception of the plan on May 22, 2020 by 15,000,000 such that the total Common Shares reserved under the A&R LTIP increased from the 12,350,000 previously reserved under the Amended and Restated DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) to 27,350,000 plus the number of Common Shares subject to stock options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan that, following May 22, 2020, expire or for any reason are canceled or terminated without having been exercised in full. Other than the increase to the maximum number of Common Shares reserved and available for issuance thereunder, the terms of the A&R LTIP will be the same as those of the LTIP. The A&R LTIP provides for the grant of stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, restricted shares, dividend-equivalent rights granted in connection with restricted share units, vested share awards, other share-based awards, cash awards, and deferred share units to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates who are selected by the compensation committee of the Board to receive such an award.
The preceding summary of the A&R LTIP does not purport to be a complete description of all provisions of the A&R LTIP and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of the A&R LTIP, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is hereby incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders
At the Company’s 2024 annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”), held on May 30, 2023, shareholders were requested to: (i) elect directors of the Company to hold office until the 2025 annual meeting or until their successors were duly elected or appointed; (ii) appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, at such remuneration as may be determined by the Board; (iii) approve the A&R LTIP and the additional Common Shares reserved for issuance thereunder.
