ADMINISTRATION
The LTIP is administered by the Board. The Board has the authority to, among other things, determine eligibility for awards to be granted, determine, modify or waive the type or types of, form of settlement of, and terms and conditions of awards, to accelerate the vesting or exercisability of awards, to adopt rules, guidelines and practices governing the operation of the LTIP as the Board deems advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the LTIP and any award agreement, and to otherwise do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the LTIP. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on it pursuant to the LTIP.
ELIGIBILITY
Certain Alithya employees and directors, and those of its designated affiliates, are eligible to participate in the LTIP.
