Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Board adopted, and the stockholders of the Company approved, the ESPP effective as of the Closing Date. The initial number of shares of common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP was 1,923,194. The following is a general description of the material features of the ESPP, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the ESPP: • The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the ESPP will be equal to 2% of the fully-diluted shares, subject to certain adjustments; • The ESPP will permit participants to purchase Common Stock through contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise to the extent permitted by the administrator) of up to the lesser of 8% of their eligible compensation or $25,000 maximum per offering period, which includes a participant’s regular and recurring straight time gross earnings and other eligible compensation, as defined in the ESPP. Subject to the eligibility requirements and dollar limits discussed above, a participant may purchase a maximum of $25,000 worth of shares of Class A Common Stock during each offering period. Subject to such limits, the administrator may increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that a participant may purchase during future offering periods. Amounts contributed and accumulated by the participant during any offering period will be used to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of each offering period. The purchase price of the shares of Class A Common Stock cannot be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period; and • A participant may withdraw from the ESPP voluntarily at any time by delivering written notice of withdrawal prior to the close of business on the date established by the administrator. A participant will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the ESPP upon the termination of the participant’s employment for any reason or in the event the participant is no longer eligible to participate in the ESPP. As of March 31, 2023, the ESPP has not yet been activated. Earn-out Shares Following the closing of the reverse recapitalization executed on July 18, 2022, earn-out shares were issued. Holders of the earn-out shares are entitled to the right to receive up to an aggregate amount of 9,000,000 shares of New Mondee Class A Common Stock that would vest (in part) in equal thirds if the trading price of the company's Class A Common Stock was greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00, and $18.00 for any 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period at any time during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the reverse recapitalization and ending on the four anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. In the event that there is a company sale and during the vesting period that will result in the holders of Class A Common Stock receiving a company sale price equal to or in excess of the applicable price per share set forth above, then immediately prior to the consummation of the company sale any such vesting of earn-out shares that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and the holders of such earn-out shares shall be eligible to participate in such company sale. In the event of any merger, sale, consolidation, recapitalization, equity transfer, restructuring, reorganization or other similar business transaction that does not constitute a company sale, any remaining unvested earn-out shares shall not be forfeited, shall remain outstanding, and shall remain subject to the remaining applicable vesting triggering events set forth above. In the event of a company sale, including where the consideration payable is other than a specified price per share, for purposes of determining whether the applicable stock price levels set forth above have been achieved, the price paid per share of common stock will be calculated on a basis that takes into account the number of earn-out shares that will vest (i.e., the ultimate price per share payable to all holders of common stock will be the same price per share used to calculate the number of earn-out shares that vest). The holders will have all of the rights of a holder of common stock with respect to the unvested earn-out shares, except that the holders will not be entitled to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction and the earn-out shares cannot be sold, redeemed, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of prior to vesting. As the earn-out shares are not puttable by the holders thereof, the underlying shares are not redeemable outside of the Company’s control, and the earn-out shares are settled through the or through the vesting, a fixed number of shares, the earn-out shares are not a liability within the scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Further, although the earn-out shares meet the definition of a derivative, they qualify for the equity-scope exception to derivative accounting because they meet the criteria for equity indexation and equity classification under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Note that if a company sale occurs as a result of a cash offer, the calculation of the share price used to determine if the applicable stock price level set forth above has been achieved would include the earn-out shares. Lastly, the earn-out shares are indexed to the Company’s own stock, as there are no other events that would accelerate the vesting of such shares other than the share price being in excess of the applicable stock price levels set forth above or a company sale. Accordingly, these earn-out shares are equity classified In accordance with terms of the Business Combination and upon closing, the Company approved a total earn-out of 9,000,000 Class A Common Stock, which were allocated as follows as of March 31, 2023. Shareholder Type Grant Date Number of Shares Employee 7/18/2022 6,000,000 Investor 7/18/2022 500,000 Employee 9/7/2022 900,000 Non-employee 9/12/2022 200,000 Unallocated shares — 1,400,000 Total 9,000,000 While the earn-out shares are legally issued (except for 200,000 earn-out shares issued to non-employee) and placed into escrow, they are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes until resolution of the earn-out contingency. The estimated acquisition date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. |
