Initial Elections contract clause examples

Initial Awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board on any date (including the date of an Annual Meeting) shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment (such Non-Employee Director’s “Start Date”), an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date equal to $400,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718). The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything set forth herein, # no Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award, and # in the event that a Non-Employee Director’s Start Date occurs on the date of an Annual Meeting, such Director shall receive an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date equal to $600,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718) (which is meant to represent the sum of an Initial Award and an Annual Award).

Annual Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who # serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) and # will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Annual Meeting, an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on the date of such Annual Meeting of $200,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and with the number of shares of common stock underlying such award subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as the “Annual Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s Annual Meeting does not occur by June 30 of each calendar year, each Non-Employee Director shall be automatically granted an Annual Award on June 30.

A Non-Employee Director will also receive a one-time restricted stock unit award with a value of $200,000 which shall vest annually over three years from the date of grant following the Non-Employee Director’s initial appointment to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Initial Grant. Following the effective date of this Plan, each Director shall, effective as of the date of such individual’s initial election or appointment to the Board, be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award with a grant-date value of approximately $200,000, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
