Subject to his continuing service through the vesting dates, one-third of the total number of shares granted will vest on each of March 10, 2026, 2027, and 2028, the anniversary dates of Mr. Lenssen’s commencement of employment and the grant of restricted shares. The award was granted outside of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and was approved by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) as a material inducement to Mr. Lenssen’s entry into employment with the Company.
