The Equity Awards represent long term incentive awards for the period beginning on the grant date and ending on the date of the next annual equity grant, expected to occur in the first quarter of 2023. The grant date fair value for the Equity Awards granted to Messrs. Scheirman and Lowe was approximately $1,150,000 and $275,000, respectively. Based on grant date fair value, the Equity Awards were delivered 50% in restricted stock units and 50% in stock options, with the awards vesting in equal annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. The vesting of the Equity Awards will accelerate in the event of the recipient’s death, termination due to disability, qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company or, in the case of the restricted stock units, retirement.
