Each of the non-employee directors will receive, in each calendar year, a grant of deferred stock units with a value of $200,000, pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The deferred stock units will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company on the anniversary of the date of the grant.
