Such changes will be memorialized in an amended and restated severance agreement to be entered into with each such executive officer (each, an “Amended & Restated Severance Agreement”), a form of which shall be filed with the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Unless expressly stated below, each Amended & Restated Severance Agreement shall be substantially the same as the corresponding Prior Severance Agreement, a form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and will supersede and replace the corresponding Prior Severance Agreement.
Each Amended & Restated Severance Agreement will reflect the following changes:
•

•
If the applicable executive experiences a CIC Qualifying Termination (as defined therein), the executive’s existing entitlement to receive immediate acceleration of vesting, as of the later of the date of termination or the date of such change in control, of all outstanding equity awards, the level of performance-based equity award vesting will be based on the following, except to the extent alternative acceleration is specifically provided for pursuant to the grant documents: (a) actual performance achievement, with respect to any performance goals measured against fiscal year performance within an applicable multi-year performance period to the extent any such fiscal year(s) have previously been completed on or prior to the date of the Change in Control (as defined therein), and (b) the greater of target performance achievement and actual performance achievement (to the extent determinable as of the date of the Change in Control, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company), with respect to any other performance goals.
