Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan

 

In August 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), based on the board’s belief that awards authorized under the Incentive Plan provide incentives for the achievement of important performance objectives and promote the long-term success of the Company. In September 2019, the Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual stock-holders meeting.

 

The 2018 Plan is an omnibus plan, authorizing a variety of equity award types as well as cash and long-term incentive awards. The Incentive Plan amends and restates the Company’s 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”), which was approved by the board of directors in July 2018 but never presented to stockholders for approval. Any grants made under the Original Plan prior to the approval date of the Incentive Plan shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Original Plan.

 

The Incentive Plan authorizes a broad range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, dividend equivalents, performance shares, cash-based performance awards, and other stock-based awards. Such awards can be granted to employees, non-employee directors and other persons who provide substantial services to the Company and its affiliates. Nothing in the Incentive Plan precludes the payment of other compensation to officers and employees, including bonuses based upon performance, outside of the Incentive Plan.

 

An aggregate of 40,000,000 shares are reserved for delivery to participants, and may be used for any type of award under the Incentive Plan. Shares actually delivered in connection with an award will be counted against such number of reserved shares. Shares will remain available for new awards if an award under the Incentive Plan expires, is forfeited, canceled, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares or is settled in cash. Each award under the Incentive Plan is subject to the Company’s claw back policy in effect at the time of grant of the award.

 

The board of directors may amend, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Incentive Plan or the authority to grant awards thereunder without stockholder approval, except as required by law or regulation or under rules of the stock exchange, if any, on which the Company’s stock may then be listed. Unless earlier terminated, grants under the Incentive Plan will terminate ten years after stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan, and the Incentive Plan will terminate when no shares remain available and the Company has no further obligation with respect to any outstanding award.
