Annual Equity Awards to Non-Employee Directors. On the date of each annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) or such other date duly authorized by the Compensation Committee or the Board, the Board may consider a grant of share options under the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a related award agreement to each Non-Employee Director immediately following the Annual Meeting (or such other duly authorized date, as appropriate). Such grant of share options shall be in an amount determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion (each, an “Annual Equity Award”), provided that such Annual Equity Awards shall not exceed options to purchase 23,600 ordinary shares of the Company (as such number of ordinary shares may be adjusted pursuant to [Section 4.2] of the Plan). It is intended that the Non-Employee Directors elected or appointed to the Board between Annual Meetings will receive an Annual Equity Award for options to purchase a number of ordinary shares of the Company based on that percentage of such annual share option grant that equals the percentage of the year (beginning from the date of such election or appointment) remaining until the next Annual Meeting (assuming that such next Annual Meeting occurs on the anniversary of the preceding Annual Meeting). It is intended that any such Annual Equity Award (or pro-rated portion) will vest ratably on the anniversary of the Annual Equity Award’s grant date.
Annual Award: On each date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the Effective Date (the “Annual Meeting”), each continuing Non-Employee Director, other than a director receiving an Initial Award at such Annual Meeting, will receive an annual equity award (the “Annual Award”) of an option to purchase 17,300 shares of Common Stock, which shall vest in full upon the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the date of the next Annual Meeting; provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the director resigns from the Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. Such stock option shall have a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s 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 16,000 shares of our common stock. The annual award shall have a term of ten years from the grant 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 as a director 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.
