Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to our business and financial outlook, which are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this report, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative version of those terms and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our future operations, sales, expenses, and financial performance;
the anticipated benefits of the merger with SeaSpine Holdings Corporation that was completed in January 2023, including the anticipated synergies and cost-savings from the merger, and our ability to successfully integrate SeaSpine's business with ours;
our operating results;
our plans for future products and enhancements of existing products;
anticipated growth and trends in our business;
the timing of and our ability to maintain and obtain regulatory clearances or approvals;
our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, investments, and access to our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements;
our relationships with customers and distributors;
our manufacturing abilities and the performance of our suppliers;
our ability to achieve market penetration and the success of our expansion efforts;
anticipated trends and challenges in the markets in which we operate; and
the impact of investigations, claims, and litigation.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions. Any or all forward-looking statements that we make may turn out to be wrong (due to inaccurate assumptions that we make or otherwise), and our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Part I, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 10-K"); Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 2022 10-K; and elsewhere throughout the 2022 10-K, and in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") subsequent to the date we filed the 2022 10-K with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement in this report speaks only as of the date hereof, unless it is specifically otherwise stated to be made as of a different date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, and expressly disclaim any duty to update, our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of circumstances or events that arise after the date hereof, new information, or otherwise.

Trademarks

Solely for convenience, our trademarks and trade names in this report are referred to without the ® and ™ symbols, but such references should not be construed as any indicator that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights thereto.

ORTHOFIX MEDICAL INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and basis of presentation

Description of the Business

Orthofix Medical Inc. (“Orthofix”) and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), following its merger with SeaSpine Holdings Corporation ("SeaSpine") that was completed in January 2023, is a leading global spine and orthopedics company with a comprehensive portfolio of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. The Company's products are distributed in approximately 68 countries worldwide.

The Company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, and has primary offices in Carlsbad, California, with a focus on spinal product innovation and surgeon education, and in Verona, Italy, with an emphasis on product innovation, production, and medical education for orthopedics. The combined Company's global research and development, commercial, and manufacturing footprint also includes facilities and offices in Irvine, California, Toronto, Canada, Sunnyvale, California, Wayne, Pennsylvania, Olive Branch, Mississippi, Maidenhead, United Kingdom, Munich, Germany, Paris, France, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The merger with SeaSpine was completed on January 5, 2023, with SeaSpine continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orthofix following the transaction. For additional discussion of the merger with SeaSpine, see Note 3. The shares of common stock of Orthofix, as the corporate parent entity in the combined company structure, continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol "OFIX". The combined company will be renamed at a later date and until then will continue to be known as Orthofix Medical Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition; contractual allowances; allowances for expected credit losses; inventories; valuation of intangible assets; goodwill; fair value measurements, including contingent consideration; litigation and contingent liabilities; tax matters; and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Changes in Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.

2. Recently adopted accounting standards, recently issued accounting pronouncements

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08— Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, which aims to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The amendments require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of $2.2 million in contract liabilities associated with acquired revenue contracts as a result of the Company’s merger with SeaSpine, which closed on January 5, 2023.

3. Merger and acquisitions

Merger with SeaSpine

On January 5, 2023, the Company and SeaSpine completed an all-stock merger of equals (the "Merger") to create a leading global spine and orthopedics company with highly complementary portfolios of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. As a result of the Merger, each share of SeaSpine common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4163 shares of Orthofix common stock.

The Merger is being accounted for as an acquisition of SeaSpine by Orthofix under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, Orthofix is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. In identifying the acquirer, Orthofix and SeaSpine considered the structure of the transaction and other actions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), relative outstanding share ownership, market values, the composition of the combined company's board of directors, and the relative size of Orthofix and SeaSpine. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of SeaSpine and its subsidiaries have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The total estimated fair value of consideration associated with the Merger as of the acquisition date was comprised of:

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Certain acquired assets and liabilities assumed were valued utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions. A final determination of the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been made and the following should be considered preliminary.

The final determination is subject to completion of the Company's valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities and deferred income taxes, which it expects to complete within one year of the acquisition date. Subsequent adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material.

The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Merger. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company identified a contingent liability that existed as of the merger date. As a result, the Company recorded a $3.0 million adjustment to other current liabilities with a corresponding increase in goodwill. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $123.5 million, which was assigned to the Global Spine reporting segment. Specifically, the goodwill includes the assembled workforce and synergies associated with the combined entity. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The IPR&D intangible assets are considered an indefinite-lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period after the acquisition, these assets are not amortized but, instead, are subject to impairment assessment. Upon completion of each IPR&D project, the Company will determine the useful life of the asset and begin amortization.

The Company recognized $0.1 million and $9.9 million in direct acquisition-related costs, which exclude integration-related activities, that were expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), primarily within general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations included $62.9 million and $188.2 million of net sales from SeaSpine for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and a net loss attributable to SeaSpine of $19.2 million and $72.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Pro Forma Financial Information

Due to the Merger closing on January 5, 2023, all SeaSpine financial results for fiscal year 2023, except for the first four days of January, are included in Orthofix's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, are based on the Company's historical condensed consolidated financial statements adjusted to reflect as if the Merger closed as of January 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro-forma information makes certain adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense to reflect the fair value recognized in the purchase price allocation and to remove one-time transaction-related costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Merger closed as of January 1, 2022.

6. Long-term debt

In connection with the closing of the Merger on January 5, 2023, the Company terminated SeaSpine's credit facility and all applicable commitments with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and paid an aggregate amount of $26.9 million reflecting all of the outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest, and fees, including a $0.6 million prepayment premium.

On January 3, 2023, the Company borrowed $30.0 million for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses, under its secured revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., dated as of October 25, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated March 1, 2023, the "Prior Credit Agreement"), which credit facility had a maturity date of October 25, 2024. Subsequently, the Company borrowed an additional $40.0 million to fund working capital needs whereby, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $70.0 million in principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility. The table below provides a summary of borrowing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants under the Prior Credit Agreement. The effective interest rate on amounts borrowed was 7.3%, with interest accrued of $1.0 million as of September 30, 2023, within other current liabilities.

12


 

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company borrowed an additional $9.0 million under the Prior Credit Agreement to fund working capital needs.

On November 6, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on November 6, 2023. As of the date of this filing (November 8, 2023), the Company had not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Financing Agreement were and may be used for, among other things, the repayment in full of the Prior Credit Agreement, working capital, and other general corporate purposes of the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Company’s option, either the three-month SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 3.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.26161%) (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 7.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. A revolving unused line fee of 2.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for the preceding month. A delayed draw unused fee equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s delayed draw term loan commitments in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loan for the preceding month.

Certain of the Company’s existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement. The obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Financing Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all assets of the Company and each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). The Financing Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

The Company had no borrowings on its available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.8 million) as of September 30, 2023.

Neo Medical Convertible Loan Agreements and Equity Investment

In October 2020, the Company purchased preferred equity securities of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based company developing a new generation of products for spinal surgery ("Neo Medical"), for consideration of $5.0 million. The Company also entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million, or $5.0 million at the date of issuance (the “Convertible Loan”). In October 2021, the Company entered into a second Convertible Loan Agreement (the “Second Convertible Loan” and together with the Convertible Loan, the “Neo Medical Convertible Loans”), pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical an additional CHF 0.6 million, or $0.7 million as of the date of issuance.

The preferred equity securities are recorded in other long-term assets and are considered an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measures this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s investment in Neo Medical preferred equity securities:

The Company elected to convert the Second Convertible Loan into shares of Neo Medical’s preferred equity securities in January 2022. The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security as of September 30, 2023. The fair value of the Convertible Loan is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of option-pricing models, Monte Carlo simulations for certain periods, and a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company categorized this investment as a Level 3 financial asset.

Some of the more significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Convertible Loan include applicable discount rates, implied volatility, the likelihood and projected timing of repayment or conversion, and projected cash flows in support of the estimated enterprise value of Neo Medical. Holding other inputs constant, changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Convertible Loan. If the amortized cost of the Convertible Loan exceeds its estimated fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired, and must be evaluated for the recognition of a credit loss. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not recognized any credit loss related to the Convertible Loan.

Bone Biologics Equity Securities

Until August 2022, the Company held an investment in common stock of Bone Biologics Inc. (“Bone Biologics”, NASDAQ: BBLG), a developer of orthobiologic products. The Company disposed of its remaining holdings in Bone Biologics equity securities during the third quarter of 2022.

Other Investments

Other investments represent assets and investments recorded at fair value that are not deemed to be material for disclosure on an individual basis. The fair value of these assets is based upon significant unobservable inputs, such as probability-weighted discounted cash flow models, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized these assets as Level 3 financial assets. As of September 30, 2023, this balance was classified within other long-term assets.

Spinal Kinetics Contingent Consideration

The Company recognized a contingent consideration obligation in connection with the acquisition of Spinal Kinetics in 2018. The fair value of the remaining Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration, attributable to a revenue-based milestone, was concluded to be zero as of September 30, 2023, as the Company did not achieve the milestone prior to April 30, 2023, the end of the measurement period for achieving such milestone.

Lattus Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products").

The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration as of the closing of the Merger, January 5, 2023, was $11.2 million. The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow model requiring significant inputs which are not observable in the market. The significant inputs include assumptions related to the timing and probability of certain product launch dates, estimated future sales of the products, revenue risk-adjusted discount rate, revenue volatility, and discount rates matched to the timing of payments. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Lattus contingent consideration measured at estimated fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As a result of the Merger, the Company became party to agreements with certain distributor partners that provide the Company with an option to purchase, and an option for those partners to require the Company to purchase, the distribution business of those partners at specified future dates.

15


 

At such time, the Company or distributor may (in certain cases, subject to satisfying certain conditions) submit written notice to the other of its intention to exercise its rights and initiate or require the purchase. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Company and the distributor will work in good faith to consummate the purchase. Under these agreements, the purchase price would be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of September 30, 2023, assuming the options under all the relevant agreements were exercised, the estimated total number of shares the Company would issue under these agreements was approximately 1.7 million shares. The Company has received notification from one such distributor, who has notified the Company of its decision to exercise its buyout option. The Company is currently in negotiations with this distributor in regard to the consummation of the potential acquisition.

Contingencies

In addition to the matters described below, in the normal course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits from time to time and may be subject to certain other contingencies. The Company believes any losses related to these matters are individually and collectively immaterial as to a possible loss and range of loss.

Italian Medical Device Payback (“IMDP”)

In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced rules for entities that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. A key provision of the law is a ‘payback’ measure, requiring medical device companies in Italy to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures exceed regional maximum ceilings. Companies are required to make payments equal to a percentage of expenditures exceeding maximum regional caps.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Italian Ministry of Health provided guidelines to the Italian regions and provinces on seeking payback of expenditure overruns relating to the years ended December 31, 2015, through December 31, 2018. Since receiving the guidelines, several regions and provinces have requested payment from affected medical device companies, including the Company. The Company has taken legal action to dispute the legality of such measures.

The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales and marketing expense and periodically reassesses the liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and an expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has accrued $7.0 million related to the IMDP, which it has classified within other long-term liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued once all legal proceedings are resolved and upon further clarification of the IMDP by the Italian authorities for more recent fiscal years.

11. Business segment information

The Company has two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. The primary metric used in managing the Company is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, legal judgments and settlements, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and certain other activities. Corporate activities are comprised of operating expenses not directly identifiable within the two reporting segments, such as human resources, finance, legal, and information technology functions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the equity awards of SeaSpine (including stock options and restricted stock units) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Orthofix common stock. The Company issued options to purchase 1.9 million shares of Orthofix common stock and 0.5 million shares of time-based vesting restricted stock in connection with the conversion of such awards. The estimated fair value of the portion of the SeaSpine equity awards for which the required service period had been completed at the time of the closing of the Merger was treated as purchase consideration. The remaining estimated fair value is recorded as compensation expense over the remainder of the service period associated with the awards.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company issued 16,411 and 7,057 shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company issued 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

On September 12, 2023, the Company announced the termination of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, and former Chief Legal Officer. This change in leadership resulted in a recognized benefit of $1.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, related to the forfeiture of outstanding equity grants, net of any incremental share-based compensation expense related to interim leaders appointed to these roles.

14. Income taxes

Generally, income tax provisions for interim periods are based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items, with any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate recorded in the interim period in which the change occurs. Due to the impact of losses not benefited by the Company’s U.S. and Italian operations, the Company determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of the Company’s overall annual effective tax rate. As such, the Company has calculated the tax provision using the actual effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Due to the impact of temporary differences on the U.S. current tax liability without any deferred tax benefit, the actual effective rate may vary in future quarters.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the effective tax rate was (1.7%) and (14.3%), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the effective tax rate was (2.0%) and (18.4%), respectively. The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were certain losses not benefitted and tax amortization on certain acquired intangibles.

15. Earnings per share (“EPS”)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no adjustments were made to net income for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in diluted EPS computations.

There were 6.3 million and 2.4 million weighted average outstanding stock options and restricted stock units not included in the diluted EPS computation for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and 6.8 million and 2.2 million weighted average outstanding stock options and restricted stock units not included in the diluted EPS computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, because inclusion of these awards was anti-dilutive.

16. Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment. The Company tests more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. These indicators include, among others, declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or the development of a material adverse change in the business climate. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company announced the termination of the former President and Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, and former Chief Legal Officer, from their respective roles. Immediately following the announcement, the Company's market capitalization decreased by approximately 30%, indicating that an impairment may exist. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment of its goodwill as of September 30, 2023.

The Company estimated the fair value of each reporting unit using a weighted average of the fair value derived from both an income approach and a market approach (all Level 3 fair value measurements). Upon performing its assessment, the Company determined its Global Spine reporting unit's fair value exceed its carrying value of net assets as of September 30, 2023.

The following table presents the net carrying value of goodwill as of September 30, 2023, and any activity recognized during the year-to-date period, including accumulated goodwill impairment losses by reportable segment:

17. Subsequent Events

As further described above in Note 6, on November 6, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto.

20


 

The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on November 6, 2023. As of the date of this filing (November 8, 2023), the Company had not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.

Global Spine

Global Spine offers the following product categories:

-
Bone Growth Therapies, which manufactures, distributes, sells, and provides support services for market leading devices used adjunctively in high-risk spinal fusion procedures and to treat both non-union and acute fractures in the orthopedic space. Bone Growth Therapies uses distributors and a direct sales channel to sell its devices and provide associated support services to hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients in the U.S.
-
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies is comprised of a broad portfolio of spine fixation and motion preservation implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine, one of the most comprehensive biologics portfolios in both the demineralized bone matrix and cellular allograft market segments, and image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate degenerative, minimally invasive, and complex surgical procedures. Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies products are sold through a network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals and healthcare providers on a global basis for Spinal Implants and Enabling Technologies, and primarily within the U.S. for Biologics.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales of $154.4 million, an increase of $68.2 million or 79.1%

Bone Growth Therapies net sales increased $6.8 million or 14.7%, largely driven by (i) an increase in complex spine procedures, which are typically paired within our CervicalStim and SpinalStim devices, (ii) increased reimbursement rates that were approved by Medicare for 2023, (iii) growth in our spine and fracture sales channels as a result of investments made in the commercial channel in the prior year, and (iv) the launch of AccelStim for the healing of fresh and non-union fractures
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies net sales increased $61.3 million or 154.7%, primarily due to the contribution of SeaSpine net sales in the third quarter of 2023 in addition to growth driven by the onboarding of new, high-volume distribution partners along with multiple recent product launches

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales of $461.5 million, an increase of $201.9 million or 77.8%

Bone Growth Therapies net sales increased $17.5 million or 12.8%, largely driven by (i) a continued increase in complex spine procedures, (ii) increased reimbursement rates that were approved by Medicare for 2023, (iii) growth in our spine and fracture sales channels as a result of investments made in the prior year, and (iv) the launch of AccelStim
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies net sales increased $184.4 million or 149.5%, primarily due to the contribution of SeaSpine net sales and growth driven by the onboarding of new, high-volume distribution partners along with multiple recent product launches Global Orthopedics offers products and solutions that allow physicians to successfully treat a variety of orthopedic conditions specifically related to limb reconstruction and deformity correction unrelated to the spine.

 

 

23


 

Global Orthopedics

Global Orthopedics distributes its products globally through a network of distributors and sales representatives to sell orthopedic products to hospitals and healthcare providers.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales of $29.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 6.6%

Growth of 13.6% in the U.S., primarily due to recent product launches and commercial execution within our U.S. sales channel
International growth of 4.5% on a reported basis, largely due to favorable movements in foreign exchange rates, which had a favorable impact on net sales of $1.6 million in the quarter, partially offset by a small decrease in stocking distributor orders and in certain direct international markets as a result of macroeconomic headwinds

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales of $84.7 million, an increase of $5.8 million or 7.4%

Growth of 13.4% in the U.S. largely as a result of investments made in recent product launches and commercial execution within our sales channel
International growth of 3.8% on a constant currency basis, largely due to an increase in stocking distributor orders and as a result of recent product launches
Increase of $1.0 million due to movement in foreign current exchange rates, which had a favorable impact on net sales in 2023

Segment Review

Our business is managed through two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. The primary metric used in managing the business by segment is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure) (which is described further in Note 11 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein). The following table presents adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles consolidated adjusted EBITDA to loss before income taxes:

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $25.2 million

Unfavorable change in net loss of $116.9 million
Favorable change of $96.5 million associated with non-cash gains and losses, largely related to the amortization of the inventory fair value step up at acquisition, share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization, and inventory reserve expenses
Unfavorable change of $4.8 million relating to changes in working capital accounts, primarily attributable to changes in inventory levels, partially offset by recoupment activities associated with the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment Program in prior year and favorable changes in other current liabilities, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts receivable


Two of our primary working capital accounts are accounts receivable and inventory. Days sales in receivables were 57 days at September 30, 2023, compared to 61 days at September 30, 2022. Inventory turns decreased to 1.0 times as of September 30, 2023 compared to 1.2 times as of September 30, 2022.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities increased $0.6 million

Increase of $29.4 million attributable to cash acquired as a result of the Merger
Increase of $0.9 million associated with the payment of a contingent consideration milestone achieved in 2022 related to a previous asset acquisition
Partially offset by an increase of $29.5 million in capital expenditures, largely due to the inclusion of SeaSpine's financial results within the 2023 financial results

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities increased $41.6 million

Increase of $70.0 million associated with our secured revolving credit facility borrowings for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses, during 2023 Increase of $2.0 million related to the conclusion of the FITBONE Contract Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Wittenstein, resulting in a $2.0 million payment in the first quarter of 2022

29


 

Partially offset by a decrease of $26.9 million associated with the termination and repayment of SeaSpine's credit facility
Further offset by a decrease in net proceeds of $1.9 million from the issuance of common shares and a decrease in other financing activities of $1.6 million

Credit Facilities

On January 3, 2023, we borrowed $30.0 million for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses under our secured revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., dated as of October 25, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated March 1, 2023, the "Prior Credit Agreement"), which credit facility had a maturity date of October 25, 2024. Following the completion of the Merger, we terminated SeaSpine's credit facility and all applicable commitments with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and repaid all outstanding obligations in respect to principal, interest, and fees on January 5, 2023.

Additional borrowings were made under the Prior Credit Agreement subsequent to the closing of the Merger and as of September 30, 2023, we had $70.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement. We borrowed an additional $9.0 million on October 10, 2023.

On November 6, 2023, we, as borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, we repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on November 6, 2023. As of the date of this filing (November 8, 2023), we had not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Financing Agreement were and may be used for, among other things, the repayment in full of the Prior Credit Agreement, working capital, and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at our option, either the three-month SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 3.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.26161%) (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 7.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. A revolving unused line fee of 2.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for the preceding month. A delayed draw unused fee equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s delayed draw term loan commitments in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loan for the preceding month.

Certain of our existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of our obligations under the Financing Agreement. Our obligations and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Financing Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). The Financing Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

As of September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under our available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.8 million). We were in compliance with all required financial covenants of our credit facilities as of September 30, 2023.

Other

For information regarding contingencies, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

IGEA S.p.A Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement

In April 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with IGEA S.p.A (“IGEA”), an Italian manufacturer and distributor of bone and cartilage stimulation systems. Per the terms of the License Agreement, we have the exclusive right to sell IGEA products in the U.S. and Canada. As consideration for the License Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, with certain payments contingent upon achieving an FDA milestone. As of September 30, 2023, we have a remaining liability under this agreement of $1.0 million which is accrued within other current liabilities.

CGBio Co., Ltd. Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement

On July 30, 2022, we entered into a long-term strategic License and Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CGBio Co., Ltd. (“CGBio”), a developer of innovative, synthetic bone grafts. The agreement grants us the exclusive right to conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies, commercialize, promote, market, and sell the Novosis recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) bone growth materials and other future tissue regenerative solutions in the U.S. and Canada. As consideration, we paid CGBio an upfront payment of $1.4 million with additional payments contingent upon the achievement of specified development milestones. This agreement was terminated in the third quarter of 2023. No additional milestones were achieved and/or paid per this agreement.

Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Merger, we assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, we may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products"). The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of September 30, 2023, was $9.1 million; however, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. As of September 30, 2023, we classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. For additional discussion of this matter, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in any of our material contractual obligations as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion of operating results is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the quarter covered by this report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP financial measures used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost that can have a material effect on cash flows.

Constant Currency

Constant currency is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the business. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of: share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, SeaSpine Merger-related costs, strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, legal judgments and settlements, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and certain other items.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash from operating activities. Management uses free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

On January 5, 2023, the Company completed a merger of equals with SeaSpine, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 52% and 35%, respectively, of the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As permitted by the rules of the SEC, the Company will exclude SeaSpine from its annual assessment of the effectiveness on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2023, the year of acquisition. Management continues to monitor SeaSpine's internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or in "Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-Qs filed for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and six months ended June 30, 2023, except as follows.

 

We maintain a $150 million secured revolving credit facility secured by a pledge of substantially all of our property.

On November 6, 2023, we, as borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, we repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under our prior credit agreement (which had a maturity date of October 25, 2024). The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on November 6, 2023. As of the date of this filing (November 8, 2023), we had not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Financing Agreement were and may be used for, among other things, (i) the repayment in full of amount that we had outstanding under our prior credit agreement, (ii) working capital and (iii) other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at our option, either the three-month SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 3.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.26161%) (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 7.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. A revolving unused line fee of 2.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for the preceding month. A delayed draw unused fee equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s delayed draw term loan commitments in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loan for the preceding month.

Certain of our existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of our obligations under the Financing Agreement. Our obligations and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Financing Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). The Financing Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

We believe that we will be in compliance with the covenants in future fiscal quarters. However, there can be no assurance that we will be in such compliance, and if we are not, the failure to do so could result in an event of default, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position in the event that we continue to have significant amounts drawn under the facility at such time.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We have not made any repurchases of our common stock during the third quarter of 2023.

34


 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the last fiscal quarter, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."

Stock Unit Grant Agreement

Attachment

 

 

1.
Grant of Stock Units.
(a)
Vesting. Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein, Stock Units granted under this Agreement shall vest in full on the second anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”) provided that Award Recipient continues in Service and has not had a Separation from Service on such date; provided further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the period prior to the Vesting Date; provided further, that for the avoidance of doubt, following Award Recipient’s Separation from Service, no additional Stock Units shall vest.
(b)
Additional Documents. The Award Recipient agrees to execute such additional documents and complete and execute such forms as the Company may require for purposes of this Agreement.
(c)
Issuance of Stock. The shares of Stock underlying the Award Recipient’s vested Stock Units will be issued as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) the date that the Stock Units vest pursuant to the vesting schedule, or (ii) the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year that immediately follows the first of such events (the date or dates such shares of Stock are delivered, the “Settlement Date”). The issuance of shares of Stock under this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. On the Settlement Date, the Company shall also deliver to the Award Recipient the number of additional shares of Stock, the number of any other securities of the Company and the amount of any other property (in the case of cash dividends, assuming such dividends had been reinvested in shares of Stock as of the ex-dividend date thereof), in each case that the Company distributed per share of Stock to holders generally during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Settlement Date, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock that are being delivered to the Award Recipient under this paragraph, without interest, and less any tax withholding amount applicable to such distribution. To the extent that the Stock Units are forfeited prior to vesting, the right to receive such distributions shall also be forfeited.
(d)
Shareholder Rights. The Award Recipient has no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Stock Units unless and until the Stock relating to the Stock Units has been delivered. No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions, or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before the certificate is issued (or appropriate book entry is made), except as described above.
2.
Incorporation of Plan. The Award Recipient acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto, and represents that he is familiar with its terms and provisions and hereby accepts this grant of Stock Units subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may, from time to time, be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.
3.
Restrictions on Transfer. To the extent not yet vested, the Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If the Award Recipient attempts to do any of these things, he will immediately and automatically forfeit the Stock Units.
4.
Termination of Service; Corporate Transaction.

 


 

(a)
Certain Terminations of Service. If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) Disability, or (iii) a circumstance providing for accelerated vesting pursuant Section 4(c) hereof, the Stock Units shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise.
(b)
Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Award Recipient’s Service terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Stock Units shall automatically vest in full as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service.
(c)
Certain Additional Corporate Transaction Circumstances. In the event that this Award is assumed or continued, or substituted for new restricted stock units or another equity-based Award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares), in each case upon the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, upon the consummation of any Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement)), and the employment of the Award Recipient with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated within 24 months following the occurrence of such Corporate Transaction (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, upon the consummation of such Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement)) by the employer without Cause or by the Award Recipient for Good Reason, the Stock Units shall be fully vested on the date of such termination of employment with the Company. In the event a Corporate Transaction occurs (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, in the event that a Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement) occurs) in which this Award is not being assumed, continued or substituted (as contemplated by the preceding sentence), the Award shall be treated in accordance with the default rules applicable under Section 17.3 of the Plan.
5.
Effect of Section 6 of Change in Control and Severance Agreements. The Company and the Award Recipient agree that this Agreement and the Stock Units granted hereunder are not subject to Section 6 of the Change in Control and Severance Agreement, and the Stock Units granted hereunder do not constitute Time-Based Restricted Stock as defined in such Change in Control and Severance Agreement.
6.
Withholding.

The Company shall have the right to require the Award Recipient to remit to the Company any and all amounts sufficient to satisfy any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the issuance of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units. At the time of the Settlement Date (or, in the event that tax withholding is required as of an earlier date, then such earlier date), the Award Recipient shall pay in cash to the Company any amount that the Company may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding or other tax obligation. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to permit or require the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, (a) by directing the Company to withhold shares of Stock that would otherwise become vested, or (b) by entering into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby Award Recipient irrevocably elects to sell a portion of the shares of Stock to be delivered in connection with the Stock Units to satisfy withholding obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding obligations directly to the Company or any Affiliate in each case pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time. The Company, in its sole discretion, may also permit, the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, by delivering to the Company shares of Stock already owned by the Award Recipient and not then subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or similar requirements. The Company shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made pursuant to, or in connection with, the Stock Units, the federal, state, or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld to satisfy any federal, state, or local tax requirements may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with respect to such vesting or payment; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow the Award Recipient to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory withholding obligation in such Award Recipient’s relevant tax jurisdiction).

 


 

7.
No Employment or Other Rights. This Award does not confer upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of, or otherwise provide Services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate such Award Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time. For purposes of this Agreement only, the term “employment” shall include circumstances under which Award Recipient provides consulting or other Services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor, but such Award Recipient is not, nor shall be considered, an employee; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7 or this Agreement shall create an employment relationship between such person and the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the usages described in this Section are for convenience only.
8.
Adjustment of and Changes in Shares of Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or other event or change in corporate structure affecting the shares of Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and class of shares subject to the Stock Units. The foregoing adjustments shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
9.
Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend, modify, amend or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. This Stock Unit grant under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Stock Units or other benefits in lieu of Stock Units in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of Stock Units granted, and the vesting provisions.
10.
Section 409A. The grant of Stock Units under this Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on Award Recipient under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any liability to Award Recipient for such tax or penalty. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of Service occurs only upon an event that would be a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service, (1) Award Recipient is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and (2) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable on account of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six (6)-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A (the “Delay Period”), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after the Delay Period (or upon Award Recipient’s death, if earlier), without interest. Each installment of Stock Units that vest under this Agreement (if there is more than one installment) will be considered one of a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.
11.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)
Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.
(b)
Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered or made electronically, over the Internet or otherwise (with request for assurance of recipient in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), or given in writing. Any notice given in writing shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, and shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Award Recipient at the address that he or she has most recently provided to the Company.

 


 

Any notice given electronically shall be deemed effective on the date of transmission.
(c)
Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(e)
Amendments. The Board and the Committee shall have the power to alter or amend the terms of the grant of Stock Units as set forth herein from time to time, in any manner consistent with the provisions of the Plan, and any alteration or amendment of the terms of this grant of Stock Units by the Board or the Committee shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give notice to the Award Recipient of any such alteration or amendment as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Award Recipient and the Board or the Committee by mutual written consent to alter or amend the terms of this grant of Stock Units in any manner which is consistent with the Plan.
(f)
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the Award Recipient and the Company.
(g)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the Award Recipient and the Company regarding the grant of Stock Units and supersede all prior arrangements or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) with respect thereto.
12.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized words shall have the meanings set forth below.

“Cause” shall mean (i) if the Award Recipient is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement that defines “Cause,” the definition of “Cause” contained in such Change in Control and Severance Agreement, and (ii) if the Award Recipient is not party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement that defines “Cause,” the definition of “Cause” contained in the Plan.

“Change in Control and Severance Agreement” shall mean a written change in control and severance agreement between the Award Recipient and the Company.

“Good Reason” shall mean (i) if the Award Recipient is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement that defines “Good Reason,” the definition of “Good Reason” contained in such Change in Control and Severance Agreement, and (ii) if the Award Recipient is not party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement that defines “Good Reason,” the Award Recipient voluntarily terminating his employment, following a Corporate Transaction, after the occurrence of any of the following circumstances (in each case, after notice by the Award Recipient to employer of the circumstance, and failure by the employer to cure and eliminate such circumstance within 15 calendar days of such notice): (x) a requirement that the Award Recipient work principally from a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from his principal place of employment immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, or (y) a ten percent or greater reduction in Award Recipient’s Total Compensation from the amount of such Total Compensation immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.

“Separation from Service” shall have the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A.

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.
3.
Restrictions on Transfer. To the extent not yet vested, the Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If the Award Recipient attempts to do any of these things, he will immediately and automatically forfeit the Stock Units.

 


 

4.
Termination of Service; Corporate Transaction.
(a)
Certain Terminations of Service. If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) Disability, or (iii) a circumstance providing for accelerated vesting pursuant Section 4(c) hereof, the Stock Units shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise.
(b)
Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Award Recipient’s Service terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Stock Units shall automatically vest in full as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service.
(c)
Certain Additional Corporate Transaction Circumstances. In the event that this Award is assumed or continued, or substituted for new restricted stock units or another equity-based Award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares), in each case upon the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, upon the consummation of any Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement)), and the employment of the Award Recipient with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated within 24 months following the occurrence of such Corporate Transaction (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, upon the consummation of such Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement)) by the employer without Cause or by the Award Recipient for Good Reason, the Stock Units shall be fully vested on the date of such termination of employment with the Company. In the event a Corporate Transaction occurs (or in the case of an Award Recipient who is party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement, in the event that a Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement) occurs) in which this Award is not being assumed, continued or substituted (as contemplated by the preceding sentence), the Award shall be treated in accordance with the default rules applicable under Section 17.3 of the Plan.
5.
Effect of Section 6 of Change in Control and Severance Agreements. The Company and the Award Recipient agree that this Agreement and the Stock Units granted hereunder are not subject to Section 6 of the Change in Control and Severance Agreement, and the Stock Units granted hereunder do not constitute Time-Based Restricted Stock as defined in such Change in Control and Severance Agreement.
6.
Withholding.

The Company shall have the right to require the Award Recipient to remit to the Company any and all amounts sufficient to satisfy any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the issuance of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units. At the time of the Settlement Date (or, in the event that tax withholding is required as of an earlier date, then such earlier date), the Award Recipient shall pay in cash to the Company any amount that the Company may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding or other tax obligation. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to permit or require the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, (a) by directing the Company to withhold shares of Stock that would otherwise become vested, or (b) by entering into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby Award Recipient irrevocably elects to sell a portion of the shares of Stock to be delivered in connection with the Stock Units to satisfy withholding obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding obligations directly to the Company or any Affiliate in each case pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time. The Company, in its sole discretion, may also permit, the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, by delivering to the Company shares of Stock already owned by the Award Recipient and not then subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or similar requirements. The Company shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made pursuant to, or in connection with, the Stock Units, the federal, state, or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld to satisfy any federal, state, or local tax requirements may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with respect to such vesting or payment; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow the Award Recipient to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory withholding obligation in such Award Recipient’s relevant tax jurisdiction).

 


 

7.
No Employment or Other Rights. This Award does not confer upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of, or otherwise provide Services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate such Award Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time. For purposes of this Agreement only, the term “employment” shall include circumstances under which Award Recipient provides consulting or other Services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor, but such Award Recipient is not, nor shall be considered, an employee; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7 or this Agreement shall create an employment relationship between such person and the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the usages described in this Section are for convenience only.
8.
Adjustment of and Changes in Shares of Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or other event or change in corporate structure affecting the shares of Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and class of shares subject to the Stock Units. The foregoing adjustments shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
9.
Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend, modify, amend or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. This Stock Unit grant under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Stock Units or other benefits in lieu of Stock Units in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of Stock Units granted, and the vesting provisions.
10.
Section 409A. The grant of Stock Units under this Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on Award Recipient under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any liability to Award Recipient for such tax or penalty. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of Service occurs only upon an event that would be a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service, (1) Award Recipient is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and (2) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable on account of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six (6)-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A (the “Delay Period”), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after the Delay Period (or upon Award Recipient’s death, if earlier), without interest. Each installment of Stock Units that vest under this Agreement (if there is more than one installment) will be considered one of a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.
11.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)
Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.
(b)
Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered or made electronically, over the Internet or otherwise (with request for assurance of recipient in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), or given in writing.

 


 

Any notice given in writing shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, and shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Award Recipient at the address that he or she has most recently provided to the Company. Any notice given electronically shall be deemed effective on the date of transmission.
(c)
Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(e)
Amendments. The Board and the Committee shall have the power to alter or amend the terms of the grant of Stock Units as set forth herein from time to time, in any manner consistent with the provisions of the Plan, and any alteration or amendment of the terms of this grant of Stock Units by the Board or the Committee shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give notice to the Award Recipient of any such alteration or amendment as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Award Recipient and the Board or the Committee by mutual written consent to alter or amend the terms of this grant of Stock Units in any manner which is consistent with the Plan.
(f)
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the Award Recipient and the Company.
(g)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the Award Recipient and the Company regarding the grant of Stock Units and supersede all prior arrangements or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) with respect thereto.
12.

Subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants, as defined in Section 9) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall also pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (as defined below) (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.0 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination (without giving effect to any reduction of base salary that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination), (B) the Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program (without giving effect to any reduction of such annual target amount that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination) and (C) $12,500 to be used by the Executive for outplacement services (the amount provided for by such sum, the “Severance Base

Amount,” and the amount provided for by such product, “Severance Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In addition, subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage. The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).
4.
[Intentionally Omitted].
5.
Payments Contingent Upon Release Agreement, Compliance with Covenants. As a condition to receiving the Severance Amount and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Executive will execute a general release of claims, which will also confirm any post-termination obligations and/or restrictions applicable to the Executive, in form and substance consistent with then-current practices for companies similarly situated to Parent (the “Release”). Within ten (10) days of the Executive’s date of termination, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the Release for the Executive to execute. The Executive will forfeit all rights to receive the Severance Amount and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof unless, within forty-five (45) days of delivery of the Release by the Company to the Executive, the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company and such Release has become irrevocable by virtue of the expiration of the revocation period specified therein without the Release having been revoked (the first such date, the “Release Effective Date”). The Company’s obligation to pay the Severance Amount or to reimburse COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof, is subject to the occurrence of the Release Effective Date, and if the Release Effective Date does not occur, then the Company shall have no obligation to make such payments or reimbursements. Any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof that would otherwise have become due prior to the Release Effective Date shall be paid in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date; provided, that if any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof could be paid to the Executive during a different taxable year of the Executive than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company, then, to the extent that the reimbursements constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the reimbursement amounts shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In the event the Company reasonably believes that the Executive has breached one or more of the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Company shall notify the Executive and provide reasonably detailed

 

Severance Agreement — Geoffrey C. Gillespie

Effective Date: October 2, 2023 Page 4

 


information supporting its belief and the Company and the Executive shall discuss in good faith the resolution thereof. Subject to Section 10(d), if it is determined that the Executive has breached one or more covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Executive shall forfeit the Executive’s right to receive the Severance Amount and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and, to the extent such amounts have been paid to the Executive, shall repay to the Company the after-tax amount of any such previously paid amounts.
6.
[Intentionally Omitted].
7.
Section 280G. In the event that any of the severance payments and other benefits provided by this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise shall be payable either in full or in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance payments or benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any reduction in the severance payments and benefits required by this Section 7 shall be made in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) reduction of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive. The calculations and establishment of assumptions in this Section 7 will be performed by a professional tax firm engaged by the Company prior to the occurrence of the applicable change in control. If the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section 7. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section 7. The Company and the Executive shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and the Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. However, the Executive shall have the final authority to make any good faith determination(s) associated with the assumptions used by the tax firm in providing its calculations, and such good faith determination by the Executive shall be binding on the Company. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 409A, 280G or 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the professional tax firm described in this Section 7, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other agency will claim that an Excise Tax greater than that amount, if any, determined by such professional firm for the purposes of this Section 7 is due (the “Additional Excise Tax”). The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the IRS or other agency that, if successful, would require payment of Additional Excise Tax. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to payments made or due to the Executive. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees, expenses and penalties of the Executive relating to a claim by the IRS or other agency. In the event it is finally determined that a further reduction would have

been required under this Section 7 to place the Executive in a better after-tax position, the Executive shall repay the Company such amount within 30 days thereof in order to effect such result.
8.
Section 409A.
(a)
For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) (i) each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment,” and (ii) payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (x) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (y) with respect to amounts paid as separation pay (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(m)) no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A), the “two years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
(b)
Any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement shall not commence until the Executive has a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A).
(c)
If the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its affiliates) as of the Executive’s separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A) that is payable upon a separation from service, and to the extent required in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (1) the date of the Executive’s death and (2) the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or upon the date of the Executive’s death, if earlier).
(d)

incorporate by reference the CIAA into this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the CIAA Covenants are material provisions of this Agreement and that a material breach of the CIAA Covenants shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and that the payment rights set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement are subject to compliance with the CIAA Covenants, as further described in such respective sections.

Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that the Company’s reputation and goodwill in the marketplace is of utmost importance and value to the Company. The Executive further agrees that during, and for 18 months after, the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not purposefully make or publish, directly or indirectly, any public statement disparaging the Company or any of its directors or officers who held such offices at the time of Executive’s termination. A disparaging statement is any written communication (including via an online, digital, or social media platform) that attacks the Company’s products, services, or business policies and/or is intended to undermine the Company’s reputation. The Executive further understands and agrees that this Section 9(b) is a material provision of this Agreement and that any material breach of this Section 9(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from (i) discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Executive has reason to believe is unlawful, or (ii) cooperating in any investigation or providing testimony in legal proceedings (whether administrative or judicial).

(c)
Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, for 18 months after the Executive’s date of termination, the Executive shall make himself of herself available at reasonable times, intervals and places for interviews, consultations, internal investigations and/or testimony during which the Executive shall provide to the Company, or its designated attorneys or agents, any and all information known to the Executive regarding or relating to the Company or the Executive’s activities on behalf of the Company pertaining to the subject matter on which the Executive’s cooperation is sought.
10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Employment At-Will. The Executive agrees and understands that nothing in this Agreement shall change the Executive’s “at-will” employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Executive’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, either at the Executive’s or the Company’s option, with or without notice.
(b)
Permitted Disclosures. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement restricts or limits the Executive’s right to discuss the Executive’s employment or report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with others to the extent permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor

Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure. Additionally, the Executive understands that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose such trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in related court proceedings, provided that Employee files any document containing the trade secret information under seal and does not further disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
(c)
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed, interpreted, and its validity determined under the laws of the state in which the Executive resides (the “Governing Law State”), as applied to agreements entered into and to be fully performed by residents of such Governing Law State. Such law of the Governing Law State shall govern regardless of the forum in which a dispute may be adjudicated. Subject to Section 10(d) hereof, all actions or proceedings for injunctive relief arising out of this Agreement shall exclusively be heard and determined in state or federal courts in the Governing Law State having appropriate jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waive any objection to venue therein and any defense of forum non conveniens.
(d)
Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the Dispute Resolution Agreement into this Agreement and agree that any and all disputes arising under this Agreement are subject to and governed by the Dispute Resolution Agreement; provided, however, that the parties reserve the right to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court, in which case the parties agree that such injunctive relief shall be granted in court to preserve the status quo pending a resolution on the merits in arbitration. The Executive agrees that in connection with any application for injunctive relief, discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis. The Executive further agrees that, in any proceeding alleging breach of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to conduct forensic examinations of any computers and/or electronic devices in the Executive’s possession or control, if the Company reasonably believes such devices contain Confidential Information (as defined in the Dispute Resolution Agreement).
(e)
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause immediate and irreparable injury and unquantifiable damage to the Company. If the Executive breaches, or the Company reasonably believes the Executive is about to breach, this Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Company is entitled to immediate injunctive relief enforcing the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity. The Executive and the Company agree that in any legal proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
(f)
Assignment. The Executive agrees that, should the Company be acquired by, merge with, or otherwise combine with another corporation or business entity, the surviving entity will have all

rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Company itself enforcing the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment.
(g)
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, and the rest of the Agreement, valid and enforceable. If a court or other adjudicator declines to amend the Agreement, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall be enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been included in this Agreement.
(h)
Waiver. A waiver by the Company of a breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall recourse to any remedy hereunder be a waiver of any other or further relief or remedy. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
(i)
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein, this Agreement, together with the CIAA and the Dispute Resolution Agreement, set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to severance payments and benefits), and supersedes and replaces all prior understandings and agreements regarding the same, whether written or oral. This Agreement can only be amended or modified in a writing signed by both parties. Any subsequent change(s) in the Executive’s duties, salary, compensation, or benefits will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement, including the at-will nature of employment as described in Section 10(a). The Company’s and the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment regardless of the manner of such termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, affiliated entities, and any party-in-interest.
(j)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed by both parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(k)
Notices. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or when sent by express U.S. mail or overnight delivery through a national delivery service (or an international delivery service in the case of an address outside the U.S.) with signature required. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chief Legal Officer of the Company at the address of the Company’s headquarters, and notice to the Executive shall be directed to the Executive at the Executive’s most recent personal residence on file with the Company.

Subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants, as defined in Section 9) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall also pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (as defined below) (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.0 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination (without giving effect to any reduction of base salary that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination), (B) the Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program (without giving effect to any reduction of such annual target amount that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination) and (C) $12,500 to be used by the Executive for outplacement services (the amount provided for by such sum, the “Severance Base Amount,” and the amount provided for by such product, “Non-CiC Severance Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-CiC Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the Non-CiC Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Non-CiC Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In addition, subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage. The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).
4.
Termination of Employment During a CiC Period. If, during a CiC Period, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of death, the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability or for Good Reason, or the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Company shall: (A) pay or provide to the Executive the Accrued Amounts, and (B) subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, (i) pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.5 times the Severance Base Amount (the amount provided for by such product, the “CiC Severance Amount”); provided, however, that if the CiC Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the CiC Severance Amount

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 7

 


constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the CiC Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years; and (ii) reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage. The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).
5.
Payments Contingent Upon Release Agreement, Compliance with Covenants. As a condition to receiving the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, the Executive will execute a general release of claims, which will also confirm any post-termination obligations and/or restrictions applicable to the Executive, in form and substance consistent with then-current practices for companies similarly situated to Parent (the “Release”). Within ten (10) days of the Executive’s date of termination, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the Release for the Executive to execute. The Executive will forfeit all rights to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof unless, within forty-five (45) days of delivery of the Release by the Company to the Executive, the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company and such Release has become irrevocable by virtue of the expiration of the revocation period specified therein without the Release having been revoked (the first such date, the “Release Effective Date”). The Company’s obligation to pay the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, or to reimburse COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, is subject to the occurrence of the Release Effective Date, and if the Release Effective Date does not occur, then the Company shall have no obligation to make such payments or reimbursements. Any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof that would otherwise have become due prior to the Release Effective Date shall be paid in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date; provided, that if any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof could be paid to the Executive during a different taxable year of the Executive than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company, then, to the extent that the reimbursements constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the reimbursement amounts shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In the event the Company reasonably believes that the Executive has breached one or more of the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Company shall notify the Executive and provide reasonably detailed information supporting its belief and the Company and the Executive shall discuss in good faith the resolution thereof. Subject to Section 10(d), if it is determined that the Executive has breached one or more covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Executive shall forfeit the Executive’s right to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, and, to the extent such amounts have been paid to the Executive, shall repay to the Company the after-tax amount of any such previously paid amounts.
6.
Time-Based Stock Options, Time-Based Restricted Stock and Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Vesting and Exercisability. The provisions set forth in Sections 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below shall apply

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 8

 


with respect to (a) all time-based vesting stock options of the Company (“Time-Based Stock Options” or “Options”) granted to the Executive, (b) all time-based vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company (“Time-Based Restricted Stock” or “TBRS”) granted to the Executive, and (c) all time-based vesting restricted stock units of the Company (“Time-Based RSU” or “TBRSU”) granted to the Executive, in each case, whether the applicable Options, TBRS and/or TRBSU are issued under (i) the 2012 LTIP, (ii) any other Company plan or award approved pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4), or (v) any other future or successor Company plan or standalone award agreements. Such provisions shall supersede and override any conflicting provisions set forth in applicable award agreements of the Company governing applicable grants, and shall be incorporated by reference into the terms of such award agreements.
(a)
Termination of Service in Non-Acceleration Circumstances. If, prior to vesting, the Executive’s Service is terminated for any reason other than a circumstance providing for accelerated vesting pursuant to any of Sections 6(b)-(f) below, the unvested portion of the applicable Option, TBRS, or TBRSU shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company as of the date of such termination of Service, and the Executive shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise. In such event, the Executive shall have the right, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable plan, to exercise such Option, to the extent it has vested as of the date of such termination of Service, at any time within three (3) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the ten (10)-year anniversary of grant or such other term as is provided in the applicable equity award agreement otherwise governing such grant (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within such three (3)-month period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein.
(b)
Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of death or the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability, as of the date of such termination of Service (i) the unvested portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable in full and (ii) any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest in full. The full portion of any unexercised Option shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any person entitled to do so) at any time within eighteen (18) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of such Option on the Expiration Date. To the extent such Option is not exercised within such period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein. The shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service.
(c)
Intentionally Omitted.
(d)
Termination of Service by Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of the Executive terminating his or her employment for Good Reason or the Company terminating the Executive’s employment without Cause, (i) the Partially Accelerating Portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable, and the Partially Accelerating Portion of any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest, in each case, as of the date of such termination of Service. The non-vested portion of the Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company. The vested portion of the applicable Option (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Partially Accelerating Portion) shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any person entitled to do so) at any time within eighteen (18) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 9

 


the earlier expiration of the Option on the Expiration Date, and to the extent such vested portion of the Option is not exercised within such eighteen (18)-month period, such portion of the Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein, and (ii) the shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service.
(e)
Intentionally Omitted.
(f)
Certain Additional Change in Control Circumstances. In the event that any Option is assumed or continued, or substituted for new common stock options or another equity-based award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares and option exercise prices), or any unvested portion of the TBRS or the TBRSU is assumed or continued, or substituted for new restricted common stock, new restricted stock unit, or another equity-based award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares), in each case upon the consummation of any Change in Control, and the employment of the Executive with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for CiC Period Good Reason, in each case during a CiC Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following a Potential CiC Date but before the applicable Change in Control has been consummated), (i) such Option shall be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following such termination (subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the Expiration Date) or for such longer period as the Compensation Committee shall determine and (ii) the unvested portion of such TBRS and such TBRSU shall be fully vested (and the shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service). In the event that a Change in Control occurs in which outstanding Options, shares of TBRS, and/or TBRSUs are not being assumed, continued or substituted (as contemplated by the preceding sentence), any Option and the unvested portion of any TBRS and any TBRSU shall be treated in accordance with the default rules applicable under Section 17.3 of the 2012 LTIP (or if made pursuant to a successor long-term incentive plan or inducement plan, the default rules contained in such plan), provided, that if the termination of Service occurs following a Potential CiC Date but before the applicable Change in Control has been consummated, the applicable unvested portion of such Options, TBRS and/or TBRSUs shall remain outstanding through the consummation of such Change in Control, and shall become vested in accordance with the terms of Sections 17.3(a) and 17.3(b) of the 2012 LTIP in connection with the consummation of such Change in Control.
(g)
Survival. All of the provisions in this Section 6 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (unless such termination is as a result of a future novation of such provisions entered into by each of the parties).
7.
Section 280G. In the event that any of the severance payments and other benefits provided by this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise shall be payable either in full or in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 10

 


portion of such severance payments or benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any reduction in the severance payments and benefits required by this Section 7 shall be made in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) reduction of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive. The calculations and establishment of assumptions in this Section 7 will be performed by a professional tax firm engaged by the Company as of the day prior to the applicable CiC Date. If the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section 7. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section 7. The Company and the Executive shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and the Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. However, the Executive shall have the final authority to make any good faith determination(s) associated with the assumptions used by the tax firm in providing its calculations, and such good faith determination by the Executive shall be binding on the Company. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 409A, 280G or 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the professional tax firm described in this Section 7, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other agency will claim that an Excise Tax greater than that amount, if any, determined by such professional firm for the purposes of this Section 7 is due (the “Additional Excise Tax”). The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the IRS or other agency that, if successful, would require payment of Additional Excise Tax. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to payments made or due to the Executive. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees, expenses and penalties of the Executive relating to a claim by the IRS or other agency. In the event it is finally determined that a further reduction would have been required under this Section 7 to place the Executive in a better after-tax position, the Executive shall repay the Company such amount within 30 days thereof in order to effect such result.
8.
Section 409A.
(a)
For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) (i) each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment,” and (ii) payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (x) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (y) with respect to amounts paid as separation pay (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(m)) no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A), the “two years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
(b)
Any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement shall not commence until the Executive has a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A).
(c)
If the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its affiliates) as of the Executive’s separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 11

 


any applicable exemptions from Section 409A) that is payable upon a separation from service, and to the extent required in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (1) the date of the Executive’s death and (2) the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or upon the date of the Executive’s death, if earlier).
(d)
Any expense reimbursements or in kind benefits under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, without limitation, that: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(e)
If this Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Executive by Section 409A, and the Executive shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its affiliates for payment of any such tax, penalty, or interest imposed by Section 409A.
9.
Additional Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality, Inventions Assignment and Other Matters. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the CIAA into this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the CIAA Covenants are material provisions of this Agreement and that a material breach of the CIAA Covenants shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and that the payment rights set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement are subject to compliance with the CIAA Covenants, as further described in such respective sections.
(b)
Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that the Company’s reputation and goodwill in the marketplace is of utmost importance and value to the Company. The Executive further agrees that during, and for 18 months after, the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not purposefully make or publish, directly or indirectly, any public statement disparaging the Company or any of its directors or officers who held such offices at the time of Executive’s termination. A disparaging statement is any written communication (including via an online, digital, or social media platform) that attacks the Company’s products, services, or business policies and/or is intended to undermine the Company’s reputation. The Executive further understands and agrees that this Section 9(b) is a material provision of this Agreement and that any material breach of this Section 9(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from (i) discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Executive has reason to believe is unlawful, or (ii) cooperating in any investigation or providing testimony in legal proceedings (whether administrative or judicial). Further, and consistent with Section 10(b), this Section 9(b) is not intended to prevent Executive from exercising any other rights protected by law, including the right to communicate with former coworkers and/or third parties about terms and conditions of employment or labor disputes, unrelated to the amount of severance pay under this Agreement, when the communication

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 12

 


is not so disloyal, reckless, or maliciously untrue as to lose the protection of the law.
(c)
Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, for 18 months after the Executive’s date of termination, the Executive shall make himself of herself available at reasonable times, intervals and places for interviews, consultations, internal investigations and/or testimony during which the Executive shall provide to the Company, or its designated attorneys or agents, any and all information known to the Executive regarding or relating to the Company or the Executive’s activities on behalf of the Company pertaining to the subject matter on which the Executive’s cooperation is sought.
10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Employment At-Will. The Executive agrees and understands that nothing in this Agreement shall change the Executive’s “at-will” employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Executive’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, either at the Executive’s or the Company’s option, with or without notice.
(b)
Permitted Disclosures. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement restricts or limits the Executive’s right to discuss the Executive’s employment or report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with others to the extent permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure. Additionally, the Executive understands that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose such trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in related court proceedings, provided that Employee files any document containing the trade secret information under seal and does not further disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
(c)
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed, interpreted, and its validity determined under the laws of the state in which the Executive resides (the “Governing Law State”), as applied to agreements entered into and to be fully performed by residents of such Governing Law State. Such law of the Governing Law State shall govern regardless of the forum in which a dispute may be adjudicated. Subject to Section 10(d) hereof, all actions or proceedings for injunctive relief arising out of this Agreement shall exclusively be heard and determined in state or federal courts in the Governing Law State having appropriate jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waive any objection to venue therein and any defense of forum non conveniens.
(d)
Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the Dispute Resolution Agreement into this Agreement and agree that any and all disputes arising under this Agreement

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Puja Leekha

Effective Date: June 21, 2023 Page 13

 


are subject to and governed by the Dispute Resolution Agreement; provided, however, that the parties reserve the right to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court, in which case the parties agree that such injunctive relief shall be granted in court to preserve the status quo pending a resolution on the merits in arbitration. The Executive agrees that in connection with any application for injunctive relief, discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis. The Executive further agrees that, in any proceeding alleging breach of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to conduct forensic examinations of any computers and/or electronic devices in the Executive’s possession or control, if the Company reasonably believes such devices contain Confidential Information (as defined in the Dispute Resolution Agreement).
(e)
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause immediate and irreparable injury and unquantifiable damage to the Company. If the Executive breaches, or the Company reasonably believes the Executive is about to breach, this Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Company is entitled to immediate injunctive relief enforcing the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity. The Executive and the Company agree that in any legal proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
(f)
Assignment. The Executive agrees that, should the Company be acquired by, merge with, or otherwise combine with another corporation or business entity, the surviving entity will have all rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Company itself enforcing the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment.
(g)
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, and the rest of the Agreement, valid and enforceable. If a court or other adjudicator declines to amend the Agreement, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall be enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been included in this Agreement.
(h)
Waiver. A waiver by the Company of a breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall recourse to any remedy hereunder be a waiver of any other or further relief or remedy. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
(i)
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein, this Agreement, together with the CIAA, the Dispute Resolution Agreement and, if applicable, the Offer Letter, set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to severance payments and benefits), and supersedes and replaces all prior understandings and agreements regarding the same, whether written or oral. This Agreement can only be amended or modified in a writing signed by both parties. Any subsequent change(s) in the Executive’s duties, salary, compensation, or benefits will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement, including the at-will nature of employment as described in Section 10(a). The Company’s and the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment regardless of the manner of such termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, affiliated entities, and any party-in-interest.
(j)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed by both parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The Company shall deduct from the amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement all required withholding amounts and deductions, including but not limited to federal, state and local withholding amounts in accordance all applicable laws and regulations and deductions authorized by the Executive.
