Pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Policy”), Mr. Walbert was granted a stock option to purchase 34,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with his appointment to the Board, which will vest in three equal annual installments measured from the date of grant, subject to Mr. Walbert’s continuous service as of each such date. In addition, in accordance with the Policy, Mr. Walbert will also receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000 for his Board service, which will be pro-rated for 2023. In addition, commencing with the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Mr. Walbert will be eligible to receive an annual option grant to purchase 17,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which amount shall be pro-rated in accordance with the Policy by the number of full months served on the Board as of such meeting, rounded to the nearest whole share, and subject to his continuous service as of each such date.
Mr. Walbert has entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement. There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Walbert and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no related person transactions within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission between Mr. Walbert and the Company required to be disclosed herein.
