Dear David:

I am very pleased to present you with Cardlytics’ (“Company”) offer to employ you as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development. Your target start date will be August 8, 2014. We are excited to bring you aboard and believe your leadership will contribute significantly to the success of our growing organization.

This position is exempt for purposes of the federal wage and hour laws, meaning that you will not be eligible for overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 in a given workweek.

The following terms will serve as your compensation package, in accordance with the Company’s established policies:

 

    Salary: $175,000 annually, to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. The Company currently pays on a bi-weekly basis, which is 26 times per calendar year. When the Company implements a leadership bonus plan, you will be eligible to participate in this plan.

 

    Sign On Bonus: In your first payroll, you will receive a sign on bonus of $15,615, subject to normal withholdings.

 

    Stock Options: Participation in the Company’s stock option plan. Provided you commence employment, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 130,000 shares of the Company stock at an exercise price determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. This option vests over a period of 48 months. No options will vest until the end of twelve months of employment by Cardlytics, at which time 25% of the total options shall vest and an additional l/48th of the total options shall vest on the corresponding day of each month thereafter. In the event the company is acquired or an entity assumes a majority ownership (a “Change of Control”) and you have vested less than 50% of your options, 50% of your total options will immediately vest. The remaining options will vest over a period of 24 months. Vesting, exercise rights, forfeiture of stock options and other terms and conditions are governed by the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. You should consult your tax advisor about the tax implications of stock options.

 

    Housing Stipend/Relocation Assistance: For a period of up 12 months after your Start Date and if your primary residence is not within 50 miles of the Company’s Atlanta headquarters you will be provided a monthly Housing Stipend of $1,750 per month. In addition, in the event you relocate your primary residence within 15 months of your start date to the Atlanta area, the Company will offer Relocation Assistance of up to $20,000. If you voluntarily leave the Company before twelve (12) months of continuous employment after payment of the Relocation Assistance, you are required to return the total amount of Relocation Assistance.

 

    Benefits: Healthcare partially paid by employer with options for Medical, Vision and Dental coverage. Participation in a
401(k) Plan.

 

    Paid Leave: Cardlytics fosters a progressive environment where employees have the flexibility to get their work accomplished within the concept of full time employment. The Company expects employees will work the hours necessary to satisfactorily perform their jobs, and recognizes the round the clock nature of their responsibilities. Cardlytics leaves it to the employees’ discretion on how to best manage his/her time, including scheduling time away from the office. As a result, Cardlytics employees do not accrue vacation pay or other paid time off. It’s up to the employee and their manager to make certain that a fair and reasonable amount of work is being provided in exchange for the compensation received. It also is important that employees meet work related deadlines and other time commitments of the job. Advance notice of time off from work, whenever possible, is encouraged. On average, employees take approximately three weeks of paid leave, including sick time, company holidays, and vacations.
