In accordance with our Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as amended from time to time, Ms. Hodrick and Ms. Luna will each receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000 for serving on the board of directors and an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for serving on the audit committee, both paid quarterly.

These equity awards have an aggregate annualized grant date value of $225,000, pro-rated on a monthly basis for the period commencing on December 3, 2020 and ending on the expected date of our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. In the event of a change in control of Roku, all of Ms. Hodrick’s and Ms. Luna’s respective unvested equity awards will vest immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control.
