2023 Equity Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plans

 

On March 31, 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan authorizes grants of equity-based and incentive cash awards to eligible participants designated by the 2023 Plan’s administrator. The 2023 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). An aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), plus the number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan that had not been made subject to outstanding awards, were reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 2023 Plan will remain in effect until all Common Stock reserved for issuance has been issued, provided, however, that all awards shall be granted, if at all, on or before the day immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date of the 2023 Plan.

 

The Company also adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP allows eligible employees of the Company and the Company’s designated subsidiaries the ability to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a discount, subject to various limitations. Under the ESPP, employees will be granted the right to purchase Common Stock at a discount during a series of successive offerings, the duration and timing of which will be determined by the ESPP administrator (the “Administrator”). In no event can any single offering period be longer than 27 months. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for each offering will be established by the Administrator. With respect to an offering under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 423 Offering”), in no case may such Purchase Price be less than the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 85 percent of the fair market value on the commencement date, or (ii) an amount not less than 85 percent of the fair market value the on the purchase date. In the event of financial hardship, an employee may withdraw from the ESPP by providing a request at least 20 Business Days before the end of the offering period (the “Offering Period”). Otherwise, the employee will be deemed to have exercised the purchase right in full as of such exercise date. Upon exercise, the employee will purchase the number of whole shares that the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions will buy at the Purchase Price. If an employee wants to decrease the rate of contribution, the employee must make a request at least 20 Business Days before the end of an Offering Period (or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator). An employee may not transfer any rights under the ESPP other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During a participant’s lifetime, purchase rights under the ESPP shall be exercisable only by the participant.
