The purpose of this Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) of AMERICAN BATTERY MATERIALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to provide a total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber directors, including those who are not employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries. In furtherance of the purpose stated above, all members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as set forth below:

(b) As of and on the one-year anniversary of hire, an additional 1,666,667 shares shall be fully vested, fully earned, and non-assessable provided the director is then serving as a member of the Board.

 

(c) As of and on the two-year anniversary of hire, the remaining 1,666,666 shares shall be fully vested, fully earned, and non-assessable provided the director is then serving as a member of the Board.

 

Upon termination of service as a member of the Board for any reason prior to a vesting date, any and all remaining and unvested shares of the Equity Grant shall be forfeited, with no pro rata vesting or any further rights.

 

The original basis (per share) for shares shall be the closing price for the Company’s common stock on the vesting date for the respective shares.
