Executive Severance Plan.

On June 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”) to adjust the calculation of the bonus portion of severance benefits upon a qualifying termination during the two years following a change in control. Executives, including each of our named executive officers, are eligible to receive benefits under the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Plan.








Amendments to the Plan include the following:

a.Upon a qualifying termination that is during the two years following a Change in Control of the Company, and subject to the participant’s execution of a release of claims, the participant will be entitled to severance equal to 1.5 times base salary plus Target Bonus (2.5 times base salary plus Target Bonus for the CEO), and their Target Bonus for year-of-termination, pro-rated based on the number of full months during the year the participant was employed, based on the greater of (i) target level performance or (ii) actual Company performance as determined by the most recent forecast as of the date of termination.

b.The participant would also be entitled to performance-based restricted shares or deferred shares vesting on a pro-rata basis, based on the number of full months during the performance period the participant was employed, at the greater of (i) target level performance level or (ii) actual Company performance as determined by the most recent financial projections/forecast used for accrual purposes as of the date of termination. For those PSU grants that may contain a PSU kicker, the kicker shall be calculated based on the Company’s most current projection of performance.
