1,715,000 market RSUs had a grant date fair value of $10.84 per share and will vest on July 15, 2028. The number of shares delivered on the vesting date is determined by the percentile ranking of MannKind total shareholder return (TSR) over the period from July 1, 2025 until June 30, 2028 relative to the TSR of the Russell 3000 Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Index over the same three-year period, as follows: less than 25th percentile=0% of target, 25th percentile=50% of target, 50th percentile=100% of target, 75th percentile=200% of target, 90th percentile or higher=300% maximum. Payout values will be interpolated between the percentile rankings above.
(4)
1,000,000 performance RSUs had a grant date fair value of $3.80 per share and will vest on March 15, 2028. The number of shares delivered on the vesting date, as a percentage of the specified target, shall be determined by the net sales achieved by the Endocrine Business Unit, as reported by the Company for the period from October 1, 2027 to December 31, 2027 as follows: less than $37.5 million=0% target, $37.5 million=25% target, $50.0 million=50% target, $75.0 million=100% target, and $100.0 million or higher=200% target.
(5)

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company provides all employees, including executive officers, the ability to purchase common stock at a discount under the ESPP. The ESPP is designed to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and provides all employees with the opportunity to purchase up to $25,000 worth of common stock (based on the undiscounted fair market value at the commencement of the offering period) each year at a purchase price that is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on either the date of purchase or the commencement of the offering period. An employee may not purchase more than 5,000 shares of common stock on any purchase date. The executives’ rights under the ESPP are the same as those of all other employees.

There were approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP as of June 30, 2025.
