•30% of the shares will vest on May 31, 2019
•40% of the shares will vest on May 31, 2020

 

The RSUs will be granted pursuant to the terms of a separate award agreement, which will provide that all unvested shares will vest on a change of control (as defined in the Company’s Equity Plan) or in the event that you are terminated by the Company without cause.

 

4.Accelerated Vesting of PSUs. In the event that a change of control (as defined in the Company’s Equity Plan) occurs during the term of your employment, all prior granted PSUs that have not yet vested will automatically vest.

In the event that your employment is terminated by the Company without cause, the Company will pay you severance equal to your then current annual salary, payable in equal installments on a monthly basis, less applicable withholdings. The severance described above will be subject to your execution (and non-revocation) of the Company’s standard release of claims.
