2020 Incentive Award Plan

In February 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the 2020 Plan). The 2020 Plan became effective on February 11, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides for a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance bonus awards, performance stock unit awards, dividend equivalents, or other stock or cash based awards. Under the 2020 Plan, the Company generally grants stock-based awards with service-based vesting conditions only. Options and restricted stock unit awards granted typically vest over a four-year period, but may be granted with different vesting terms.

Following the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan, the Company ceased making grants under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan). However, the 2014 Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards granted under it. Shares of

common stock subject to awards granted under the 2014 Plan that are forfeited or lapse unexercised and that were not issued under the 2014 Plan are available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Under the ESPP, employees have the ability to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a discount during a series of offering periods of 24 months, each comprised of four six-month purchase periods. The purchase price will be the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of an offering period in which an employee is enrolled or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the purchase date, which will occur on the last trading day of each purchase period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were 208,030 shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2026, a total of 7,125,587 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2026, there was $13.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP.

Retirement-related modification of equity awards

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company modified its equity compensation program to introduce retirement benefit provisions, which allow certain awards to continue vesting after retirement and extends the post-retirement exercise period for stock options, subject to specified age and service requirements. The Company accounted for these changes as Type I (probable-to-probable) modifications under ASC 718.

 

The modification resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of approximately $44.6 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026. This amount includes $12.5 million of incremental expense associated with the modification of the awards, and $32.1 million related to the accelerated recognition of previously unrecognized stock-based compensation expense.
