PensionPlan Benefits

CompensationPolicies and Practices and Risk Management
One of the responsibilities of our Compensation Committee and our Board, in its role in setting executive compensation and overseeing our various compensation programs, is to ensure that our compensation programs are structured so as to discourage inappropriate risk-taking. We believe that our existing compensation practices and policies for all employees, including executive officers, mitigate against this risk by, among other things, providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives. These equity incentives have historically been in the form of stock grants to promote long-term rather than short-term financial performance and to encourage employees to focus on sustained stock price appreciation. The Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring our existing compensation practices and policies and investigating applicable enhancements to align our existing practices and policies with the avoidance or elimination of risk and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value.

Each of our directors receives regular cash compensation of $2,000 per month, for serving on the Board.

In addition, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by<br> a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as<br> of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares of common stock outstanding<br> is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition<br> rights.

The Company may issue restricted shares, stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights and dividend equivalent rights, among others, under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. As indicated above, an aggregate of 9,000,000 of our shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of awards under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan.
An award may not be exercised after the termination date of the award and may be exercised following the termination of an eligible participant’s continuous service only to the extent provided by the administrator under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. If the administrator under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan permits a participant to exercise an award following the termination of continuous service for a specified period, the award terminates to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the award, whichever occurs first. In the event an eligible participant’s service has been terminated for “cause”, he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any of the awards outstanding.
The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan includes the following best practice provisions to reinforce the alignment between stockholders’ interests and equity compensation arrangements. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| ● | No discounted awards: the exercise price of an award must not be lower than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the stock<br> exchange or system on which the shares are traded or quoted at the time the award is granted; |
|---|---|
| ● | No buyout without shareholder approval: outstanding options or non-qualified stock options (“SARs”) may not be<br> bought out or surrendered in exchange for cash unless shareholder approval is received; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No repricing without shareholder approval: the Company may not, without shareholder approval,<br> reprice an award by reducing the exercise price of a stock option or exchanging a stock option for cash, other awards or a new stock<br> option with a reduced exercise price; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Minimum vesting requirements for “full-value” awards: except in the case of an award granted in substitution and cancellation<br> of an award granted by an acquired organization and shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards, any equity-based awards<br> granted under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan will have a vesting period of not less than one year from the date of grant; provided,<br> however, that this minimum vesting restriction will not be applicable to equity-based awards not in excess of 5% of the number of<br> shares available for grant under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions do not apply to<br> the Board’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award in case of death or disability. The<br> treatment of awards in connection with a change of control are described below; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No accelerated vesting of outstanding unvested awards and double-trigger change of control requirements: no acceleration of any<br> unvested awards shall occur except in the case of the death or disability of the grantee or upon a change of control. In this respect<br> the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan requires a “double-trigger” – both a change of control and a qualifying termination<br> of continuing services – to accelerate the vesting of awards. In connection with a change in control, time-based awards shall<br> only be accelerated if the awards are not assumed or converted following the change in control and performance based awards shall<br> only be accelerated: (i) to the extent of actual achievement of the performance conditions; or (ii) on a prorated basis for time<br> elapsed in ongoing performance period(s) based on target or actual level achievement. In connection with vesting of outstanding awards<br> following a qualifying termination after a change in control (i.e., double-trigger vesting), the same conditions set forth in the<br> preceding sentence will apply; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No dividends for unvested awards: holders of any awards which have not yet vested are not entitled to receive dividends, however,<br> dividends may be accrued and paid upon the vesting of such awards; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No liberal share recycling: shares issued under the 2023<br> Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to an award, or shares retained by or delivered to the Company<br> to pay either the exercise price of an outstanding stock option or the withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of incentive<br> stock awards or SARs, and shares purchased by the Company in the open market using the proceeds of option exercises, do not become<br> available for issuance as future awards under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Transferability: the<br> awards granted under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan generally may not be sold,<br> transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No automatic grants: the 2023 Stock Incentive<br> Plan does not provide for automatic grants to any eligible participant; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No evergreen provision: the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan does not provide for an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which<br> the shares authorized for issuance under the 2023<br> Stock Incentive Plan can be automatically replenished. |
