In the event of an annual meeting of shareholders immediately following which a director that previously received Restricted Stock under the 2016 Director Compensation Program is no longer a member of the Board, then any unvested shares of Restricted Stock held by such director shall immediately vest and become transferable on the date of such annual meeting of shareholders. The Restricted Stock shall be granted on a pro-rata basis for directors appointed to serve less than a full year. |
