Equity Compensation
Initial Grants. Upon initial election to the Board, each non-employee director will be granted, automatically and without the need for any further action by the Board, an initial equity award of an option to purchase 26,495 shares of our common stock. The initial award shall have a term of ten years from the date of the award, and shall vest and become exercisable as to 1/36 of the shares underlying such award at the end of each successive one-month period following the grant date until the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service to the Company through each applicable vesting date. The vesting shall accelerate as to 100% of the shares upon a change in control of the Company. The exercise price shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Annual Grants. Each non-employee director who has served as a member of the Board for at least six months prior to the date of our annual meeting of stockholders for a particular year will be granted, automatically and without the need for any further action by the Board, an equity award on the date of the first Board meeting held after our annual meeting of stockholders for such year of an option to purchase 13,247 shares of our common stock. The annual award shall have a term of ten years from the date of the award, and shall vest and become exercisable in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date (or, if earlier, immediately prior to the first annual meeting of stockholders occurring after the grant date), subject to the director’s continued service to the Company through each applicable vesting date. The vesting shall accelerate as to 100% of the shares upon a change in control of the Company. The exercise price shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
The foregoing share amounts shall be automatically adjusted in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event effecting our common stock, or any distribution to holders of our common stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, in each case only if such event occurs after the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to our IPO.
The initial awards and the annual awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions of our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, and the terms of the option agreements entered into with each director in connection with such awards.
Expenses
Upon presentation of documentation of such expenses reasonably satisfactory to the Company, each non-employee director shall be reimbursed for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board and committees thereof or in connection with other business related to the Board, and each non-employee director shall also be reimbursed for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses authorized by the Board or a committee of the Board that are incurred in connection with attendance at various conferences or meetings with management of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s travel policy, as it may be in effect from time to time.
