Dear Andrew:

I am excited about the prospect of you joining SailPoint Technologies, Inc. (“SailPoint”).  Your skills and abilities will be a great addition to the team and I look forward to working with you.  This letter confirms the details of SailPoint’s offer of employment, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, as the Chief Customer Officer with a proposed start date of January 7, 2019.

 

1.

You will also be eligible for a bonus of 40% of your annual salary based on achievement of corporate goals as set forth by the SailPoint Board of Directors Compensation Committee.

 

2.

Equity Awards.  Subject to approval by SailPoint’s Board of Directors, you will be granted

 

(i)

an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a value of $725,000, determined based on the 30 trading day average closing price of SailPoint Common Stock on the date the Board approves the grant of the RSUs.  The RSUs represent the right to receive shares of SailPoint Common Stock and will vest and be settled in four annual 25% installments beginning February 20, 2020.

 

(ii)

(ii) an option to purchase a number of shares of SailPoint Common Stock determined by dividing $725,000 by 30 trading day average closing price of SailPoint Common Stock on the date the Board approves the award, multiplied by two.  Your stock option will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of SailPoint Common Stock on the date the Board approves the award.  The stock options will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and then 1/48th on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant thereafter.  

All vesting of RSUs and options is contingent upon your continued employment with SailPoint.  The RSUs and options are subject to the terms and conditions of the SailPoint’s 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan and the award agreements evidencing such awards.
