Initial Grant contract clause examples

Initial Grant. On the date that a Director who is not an Employee commences service on the Board, an initial grant of Options that are not intended to be designated as Incentive Stock Options (“Non-Qualified Stock Options), shall automatically be made to that Director who is not an Employee (the “Initial Option Grant”).
