May 2, 2022
To the Stockholders of Eyenovia, Inc.:
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Eyenovia, Inc. will be held on June 16, 2022. In light of the potential health impact in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Meeting will again be held entirely online. The virtual meeting will also allow for greater participation by all of our stockholders, regardless of their geographic location, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting. You may attend the Annual Meeting online at the following website address: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EYEN2022 and by entering the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, your proxy card or in the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The Annual Meeting will begin at approximately 10:00 AM EDT, with login beginning at 9:45 AM EDT, via a live webcast on the Internet.
The Annual Meeting is called for the following purposes:
1.
To elect the six directors named in the Proxy Statement for a one-year term expiring in 2023 or until their successors have been elected and qualified;
2.
To approve an amendment to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to reserve an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder;
3.
To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and
4.
To consider and take action upon such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
These matters are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice. If you were a stockholder of record of Eyenovia common stock as of the close of business on April 18, 2022, you are entitled to receive this Notice and vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournments or postponements thereof, provided that our Board of Directors may fix a new record date for an adjourned meeting. Our stock transfer books will not be closed. A list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting may be examined at our principal executive offices in New York, NY during ordinary business hours for the 10-day period preceding the meeting for any purposes related to the meeting. The stockholder list will also be available to stockholders during the meeting at the Annual Meeting website.
We are pleased to take advantage of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow us to furnish these proxy materials (including an electronic Proxy Card for the meeting) and our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders (including our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K) to stockholders via the Internet. On or about May 5, 2022, we will mail to our stockholders of record a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement and 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders and how to vote. We believe that posting these materials on the Internet enables us to provide stockholders with the information they need to vote more quickly, while lowering the cost and reducing the environmental impact of printing and delivering annual meeting materials.

PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD JUNE 16, 2022
Information Concerning Solicitation and Voting
This Proxy Statement, along with the accompanying notice of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, is furnished to the holders of our common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of our Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) to be held virtually on June 16, 2022 at 10:00 AM EDT at the following website address: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EYEN2022, or for use at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2022 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.
In this proxy statement, we refer to Eynovia, Inc. as “Eyenovia,” “the Company,” “we” and “us.”
In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are furnishing proxy materials, including the Notice, this Proxy Statement, our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, including financial statements, and a Proxy Card for the meeting, by providing access to them on the Internet to save printing costs and benefit the environment. These materials were first available on the Internet on May 2, 2022. We will begin mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on or about May 5, 2022 to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the close of business on April 18, 2022, the record date for the meeting. This Proxy Statement and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contain instructions for accessing and reviewing our proxy materials on the Internet and for voting by proxy over the Internet. You will need to obtain your own Internet access if you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet. If you prefer to receive printed copies of our proxy materials, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions on how to request the materials by mail. You will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless you request them. If you elect to receive the materials by mail, you may also vote by proxy on the Proxy Card or Voter Instruction Card that you will receive in response to your request.
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the record date with respect to all matters that may be considered at the meeting. Stockholder votes will be tabulated by persons appointed by our Board of Directors to act as inspectors of election for the meeting.
We bear the expense of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile, or other means of communication. We do not intend to pay additional compensation for doing so. In addition, we might reimburse banks, brokerage firms, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to those beneficial owners.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING
Q:
Who may vote at the meeting?
A:
Our Board of Directors set April 18, 2022 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. If you owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on April 18, 2022, you may virtually attend and vote at the meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on. As of the close of business on April 18, 2022, there were 31,698,424 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.
Q:
Why are we having a virtual only meeting?
A:
In light of the potential public health impact in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our commitment to support the health, safety and wellness of our communities, stockholders, and other stakeholders, we will hold the Annual Meeting in a virtual-only format, which will be conducted over the Internet via live webcast. We intend to hold the virtual Annual Meeting in a manner that affords you the same rights and opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting.
Q:
How do I attend the meeting?
A:
We will host the Annual Meeting live via the Internet. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Participation in and attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to stockholders as of the close of business on April 18, 2022. Such stockholders can listen to and participate in the Annual Meeting live via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EYEN2022. The webcast will begin at 10:00 AM EDT, on June 16, 2022. Online access will begin at 9:45 AM EDT, and we encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time.
A list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting may be examined at our principal executive offices in New York, NY during ordinary business hours for the 10-day period preceding the meeting for any purposes related to the meeting. The stockholder list will also be available to stockholders during the meeting at the Annual Meeting website.
To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number found on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, your proxy card or the instructions that accompany your proxy materials. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you should follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting. If you encounter difficulties accessing the virtual meeting, please call the technical support number 844-976-9738 (US) or 303-562-9301 (International). Additional information regarding the ability of stockholders to ask questions during the Annual Meeting, related rules of conduct and other materials for the Annual Meeting will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EYEN2022.
Q:
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A:
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to virtually attend and vote at the meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number found on your Notice of Internet Availability, your proxy card or the instructions that accompany your proxy materials.
If your shares are held in a brokerage account, bank, or by another nominee or trustee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. In that case, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or other holder of record who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials. You also are invited to virtually attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, and should follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q:
What is the quorum requirement for the meeting?
A:
A majority of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote as of the record date must be present virtually at the Annual Meeting in order for us to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted as present at the meeting if you:

Are present virtually and entitled to vote in person at the meeting;

Properly submitted a Proxy Card or Voter Instruction Card; or

Do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote, but the broker submits your proxy nonetheless (a broker non-vote).
If you are present virtually or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, but withhold your vote or abstain from voting on any or all proposals, your shares are still counted as present and entitled to vote. Broker non-votes are also counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Broker non-votes occur when a person holding shares in street name, such as through a brokerage firm, does not provide instructions as to how to vote those shares, but the broker submits that person’s proxy nonetheless.
The election of directors (Proposal No. 1) and the amendment to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 2) are proposals for which brokers do not have discretionary voting authority. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to these proposals, your broker may not vote with respect to these proposals and those non-votes will be counted as “broker non-votes.” The ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 3) is considered to be discretionary, and your brokerage firm will be able to vote on Proposal No. 3 even if it does not receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name.
Q:
What proposals will be voted on at the meeting?
A:
The three proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are as follows:
1.
To elect the directors named in the Proxy Statement for a one-year term expiring in 2023 or until their successors have been elected and qualified;
2.
To approve an amendment to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to reserve an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder; and
3.
To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, we are not aware of any other matters to be submitted for consideration at the meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the proxy named in the Proxy Card or Voter Instruction Card will vote the shares it represents using its best judgment.
Q:
What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?
Proposal 1:   Elect Directors
The nominees for director who receive the most votes (also known as a “plurality” of the votes cast) will be elected. You may vote either FOR all of the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all of the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from any one or more of the nominees. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of the directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.
3

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Proposal 2:   Approve Amendment to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan
The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required to approve the amendment to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to increase in the aggregate number of shares to be granted thereunder. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.
Proposal 3:   Ratify Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter for this proposal is required to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to select our independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2022, our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.
Q:
Can I access these proxy materials on the Internet?
A:
Yes. The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders (including the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K) are available for viewing, printing, and downloading at www.proxyvote.com. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 is also available under the Investors — Financials — SEC Filings section of our website at www.eyenovia.com and through the SEC’s EDGAR system at http://www.sec.gov. All materials will remain posted on www.proxyvote.com at least until the conclusion of the meeting.
Q:
How may I vote my shares at the virtual meeting?
A:
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to virtually attend and vote at the meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number found on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, your proxy card or the instructions that accompany your proxy materials. To vote at the Annual Meeting, please follow the instructions that will be available on the Annual Meeting website during the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in a brokerage account, bank, or by another nominee or trustee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to virtually attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, and should follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting.
Q:
How can I vote my shares without virtually attending the meeting?
A:
If your common stock is held by a broker, bank, nominee, or trustee, they should send you instructions that you must follow in order to have your shares voted.
If you hold shares in your own name, you may vote by proxy in any one of the following ways:
4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Via the Internet by accessing the proxy materials on the secured website www.proxyvote.com and following the voting instructions on that website;

Via telephone by calling toll free 1-800-690-6903 and following the recorded instructions; or

By requesting that printed copies of the proxy materials be mailed to you pursuant to the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability and completing, dating, signing, and returning the Proxy Card that you receive in response to your request.
The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities by use of a control number to allow stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that stockholders’ instructions have been properly recorded. Voting via the Internet or telephone must be completed by 11:59 PM EDT on June 15, 2022. Of course, you can always virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares. If you submit or return a Proxy Card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors, as permitted by law.
Q:
How can I change my vote after submitting it?
A:
If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before your shares are voted at the meeting by:

Filing a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy with our Corporate Secretary at 295 Madison Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10017 at or before the taking of the vote at the meeting;

Duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Corporate Secretary at 295 Madison Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10017 at or before the taking of the vote at the meeting;

Virtually attending the meeting and voting at the virtual meeting (although virtual attendance at the meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy); or

If you voted by telephone or via the Internet, voting again by the same means prior to 11:59 PM EDT on June 15, 2022.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank, or other holder of record. You may also vote at the virtual meeting by following the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record to participate in the Annual Meeting.
Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?
A:
We plan to announce the preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will publish the results in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the meeting.
Q:
For how long can I access the proxy materials on the Internet?
A:
The Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 are also available, free of charge, in PDF and HTML format under the Investors — Financials — Annual Meeting Materials section of our website at www.eyenovia.com and will remain posted on this website at least until the conclusion of the meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Nominees
Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members, each of whom serve for a one-year term or until a successor has been elected and qualified. Because there are only six director nominees for this Annual Meeting, there will be two vacancies on our Board of Directors if all of the director nominees are elected to our Board of Directors. Under the terms of our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, the Board of Directors may fill these vacancies at any time.
If you are a stockholder of record, unless you mark your proxy card to withhold authority to vote, the proxy holder will vote the proxies received by it for the director nominees named below, each of whom is currently a director and each of whom has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. In the event that any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the meeting, your proxy will be voted for any nominee designated by our Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. We do not expect that any of the nominees will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your broker may not vote your shares on the election of directors. Therefore, it is important that you vote.
On April 29, 2022, our Board of Directors accepted the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and voted to nominate Tsontcho Ianchulev, M.D., M.P.H., Julia A. Haller, M.D., Kenneth B. Lee, Jr., Charles E. Mather IV, Rachel Jacobson, and Stephen Benjamin for election at the Annual Meeting for a term of one year to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. Dr. Curt LaBelle and Dr. Anthony Sun will not stand for reelection at the Annual Meeting, and their terms as our directors will accordingly expire as of that date. This was not a result of any disagreement between either director and the Company.
The name of and certain information regarding each director nominee as of April 18, 2022 is set forth below. This information is based on data furnished to us by the directors. There is no family relationship between any director, executive officer, or person nominated to become a director or executive officer. The business address for each nominee for matters regarding the Company is 295 Madison Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10017.

PROPOSAL TWO
AMENDMENT TO THE EYENOVIA, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Pursuant to the Eyenovia, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) we may grant long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based awards to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors of the Company. We believe that the effective use of long-term equity incentives is essential to attract, motivate, and retain employees of the Company, to further align participants’ interests with those of our stockholders, and to provide participants incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those offered by other companies in the same industry and locations as ours.
In this Proposal Two, we are asking our stockholders to approve an amendment to the 2018 Plan. The full text of the 2018 Plan, as amended, is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.
The amendment to the 2018 Plan increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 1,500,000 shares to a total of 5,700,000 shares. As of April 18, 2022, of the 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan, only 250,185 shares remained available for future grant. The requested increase of 1,500,000 shares represents approximately 4.73% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 18, 2022.
The Board of Directors believes that increasing the share reserve in the 2018 Plan is necessary for the Company to continue to attract and retain the highest caliber of employees, link incentive awards to Company performance, encourage employee ownership in the Company, and align the interests of employees and directors with those of the Company’s stockholders. Increasing the share reserve will allow the Company to continue to provide a variety of equity awards as part of the Company’s compensation program, an important tool for motivating, attracting and retaining talented employees and for creating stockholder value. It supports the Company’s balanced approach to employee compensation, wherein the Company uses a mix of components, including equity awards, to facilitate management decisions that favor longer-term stability. If the amendment to the 2018 Plan is not approved, the Board believes that the remaining shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan will be insufficient to accomplish its purposes.
The Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment to the 2018 Plan on February 28, 2022. As of April 18, 2022, approximately 46 employees, 19 consultants and 7 non-employee directors were eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 18, 2022 was $2.81.
Required Vote
Provided there is a quorum for the meeting, approval of the amendment to the 2018 Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting which are entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Under applicable exchange listing rules, brokers are not permitted to vote shares held for a customer on “non-routine” matters without specific instructions from the customer. As such, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the amendment to the 2018 Plan.

2018 Plan, as amended, Termination Date: March 31, 2031
Administration
The 2018 Plan, as amended, is administered by our Board of Directors or a committee designated by our Board. With respect to grants of awards to our officers or directors, the 2018 Plan, as amended, is administered by our Board or a designated committee in a manner that permits such grants and related transactions to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The plan administrator has the full authority to select recipients of the grants, determine the extent of the grants, establish additional terms, conditions, rules, or procedures to accommodate rules or laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions, adjust awards, and to take any other action deemed appropriate; however, no action may be taken that is inconsistent with the terms of the 2018 Plan, as amended.
Available Shares
Subject to adjustment upon certain corporate transactions or events, a maximum of 5,700,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the 2018 Plan, as amended. Any shares covered by an award that is forfeited, canceled, or expires shall be deemed to have not been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2018 Plan, as amended. Shares that actually have been issued under the 2018 Plan, as amended, pursuant to an award shall not be returned to the 2018 Plan, as amended, and shall not become available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan, as amended, other than unvested shares that are forfeited or repurchased by the Company. In the event any option or other award granted under the 2018 Plan, as amended, is exercised through the tendering of shares (either actually or through attestation), or in the event tax withholding obligations are satisfied by tendering or withholding shares, any shares so tendered or withheld are not again available for awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended. To the extent that cash is delivered in lieu of shares of common stock upon the exercise of an SAR, then we shall be deemed, for purposes of applying the limitation on the number of shares, to have issued the number of shares of common stock which we were entitled to issue upon such exercise. Shares of common stock we reacquire on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be available for awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended.
Minimum Vesting Period
All awards will be subject to a minimum twelve month vesting schedule from the applicable date of grant such that no portion of any such award will vest or become exercisable prior the first anniversary of
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS
the date of grant of the award. Notwithstanding this minimum vesting requirement, the plan administrator retains discretionary authority to accelerate the vesting of awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended.
Dividends
No dividend or dividend equivalent will be paid on any unvested award, although the plan administrator may provide in an award agreement that dividends with respect to unvested portions of awards may accrue and be paid when and if the awards vest and shares are actually issued to the grantee.
Eligibility and Types of Awards
The 2018 Plan, as amended, permits us to grant stock awards, including stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, and dividend equivalent rights to our employees, directors, and consultants.
The annual limit on the grant date fair value of awards to any non-employee director, together with any cash fees paid during the year, is $150,000, subject to certain exceptions for a non-executive chair of the Board of Directors.
Stock Options
A stock option may be an incentive stock option within the meaning of, and qualifying under, Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or a nonstatutory stock option. However, only our employees (or employees of our parent or subsidiaries, if any) may be granted incentive stock options. Incentive and nonstatutory stock options are granted pursuant to option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2018 Plan, as amended, provided that the exercise price of a stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of certain incentive stock options, as described below). Options granted under the 2018 Plan, as amended, will become exercisable at the rate specified by the plan administrator.
The plan administrator determines the term of the stock options granted under the 2018 Plan, as amended, up to a maximum of 10 years, except in the case of certain incentive stock options, as described below. Unless the terms of an optionholder’s stock option agreement provide otherwise, if an optionholder’s relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases for any reason other than disability or death, the optionholder may exercise any options otherwise exercisable as of the date of termination, but only during the post-termination exercise period designated in the optionholder’s stock option award agreement. The optionholder’s stock option award agreement may provide that upon the termination of the optionholder’s relationship with us for cause, the optionholder’s right to exercise his or her options shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the relationship. If an optionholder’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, or an optionholder dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the optionholder or his or her estate or person who acquired the right to exercise the award by bequest or inheritance may exercise any vested options for a period of 12 months. The option term may be extended in the event that exercise of the option within the applicable time periods is prohibited by applicable securities laws or such longer period as specified in the stock option award agreement but in no event beyond the expiration of its term.
Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include (a) cash or check, (b) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (c) the tender of common stock previously owned by the optionholder, (d) a net exercise of the option, (e) past or future services rendered, and (f) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, awards generally are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees (or to employees of our parent company and subsidiaries, if any). To the extent that the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of shares of our common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS
time by an optionholder during any calendar year under any of our equity plans exceeds $100,000, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options. A stock option granted to any employee who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock (or any of our affiliates) may not be an incentive stock option unless (a) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant, and (b) the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.
Stock Appreciation Rights
SARs may be granted under the 2018 Plan, as amended, either concurrently with the grant of an option or alone, without reference to any related stock option. The plan administrator determines both the number of shares of common stock related to each SAR and the exercise price for an SAR, within the terms and conditions of the 2018 Plan, as amended, provided that the exercise price of an SAR cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock subject thereto on the date of grant. In the case of an SAR granted concurrently with a stock option, the number of shares of common stock to which the SAR relates will be reduced in the same proportion that the holder of the stock option exercises the related option.
The plan administrator determines whether to deliver cash in lieu of shares of common stock upon the exercise of an SAR. If common stock is issued, the number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon the exercise of an SAR is determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of common stock as to which the SAR is exercised multiplied by the amount of the appreciation in such shares, by (b) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date.
If the plan administrator elects to pay the holder of the SAR cash in lieu of shares of common stock, the holder of the SAR will receive cash equal to the fair market value on the exercise date of any or all of the shares that would otherwise be issuable.
The exercise of an SAR related to a stock option is permissible only to the extent that the stock option is exercisable under the terms of the 2018 Plan, as amended, on the date of surrender. Any incentive stock option surrendered will be deemed to have been converted into a nonstatutory stock option immediately prior to such surrender.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards are awards of shares of our common stock that are subject to established terms and conditions. The plan administrator sets the terms of the restricted stock awards, including the size of the restricted stock award, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient, and the vesting schedule and criteria (which may include continued service to us for a period of time or the achievement of performance criteria). If a participant’s service terminates before the restricted stock is fully vested, all of the unvested shares generally will be forfeited to, or repurchased by, us.
Restricted Stock Units
An RSU is a right to receive stock, cash equal to the value of a share of stock, or other securities, or a combination of the three at the end of a set period or the attainment of performance criteria. No stock is issued at the time of grant. The plan administrator sets the terms of the RSU award, including the size of the RSU award, the consideration (if any) to be paid by the recipient, vesting schedule, and criteria and form (stock or cash) in which the award will be settled. If a participant’s service terminates before the RSU is fully vested, the unvested portion of the RSU award generally will be forfeited to us.
Dividend Equivalent Rights
Dividend equivalent rights entitle the recipient to compensation measured by dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of common stock.
Performance-Based Compensation
The 2018 Plan, as amended, establishes procedures for the Company to grant performance-based awards, meaning awards structured so that they will vest only upon the achievement of performance
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS
criteria,as set forth in the 2018 Plan, as amended, established by the plan administrator for a specified performance period. The plan administrator will establish the performance goals before the 90th day of the applicable performance period (or, if the performance period is less than a year, no later than the number of days which is equal to 25% of the performance period).
Corporate Transactions
Effective upon the consummation of a corporate transaction, all outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended, will terminate unless they are assumed in connection with the corporate transaction.
The plan administrator has the authority, exercisable either in advance of any actual or anticipated corporate transaction or at the time of an actual corporate transaction, and exercisable at the time of the grant of an award under the 2018 Plan, as amended, or any time while an award remains outstanding, to provide for the full or partial automatic vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended, and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights of such awards in connection with a corporate transaction on such terms and conditions as the plan administrator may specify. The plan administrator may also condition any such award’s vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent termination of the continuous service of the holder of the award within a specified period following the effective date of the corporate transaction. The plan administrator may provide that any awards so vested or released from such limitations in connection with a corporate transaction shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the award.
Amendment and Termination
Our Board of Directors generally may amend, suspend, or terminate the 2018 Plan, as amended. However, it may not amend the 2018 Plan, as amended, without stockholder approval for certain actions, such as an increase in the number of shares reserved under the 2018 Plan, as amended, modifications to the provisions of the 2018 Plan, as amended, regarding the grant of incentive stock options, modifications to the provisions of the 2018 Plan, as amended, regarding the exercise prices at which shares may be offered pursuant to options, extension of the expiration date of the 2018 Plan, as amended, and certain modifications to awards, such as reducing the exercise price per share, canceling and regranting new awards with lower prices per share than the original prices per share of the cancelled awards, or canceling any awards in exchange for cash or the grant of replacement awards with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original awards.
Tax Withholding
The plan administrator may require a participant to satisfy any federal, state, local, or foreign tax withholding obligation relating to a stock award by (a) causing the participant to tender a cash payment, (b) withholding shares of common stock from the shares of common stock issued or otherwise issuable to the participant in connection with the award, (c) delivering to the Company already-owned shares of common stock, (d) selling shares of common stock from the shares of common stock issued or otherwise issuable to the participant in connection with the award, (e) withholding cash from an award settled in cash or other amounts payable to the participant, and/or (f) any other means that the plan administrator determines both to comply with applicable laws and be consistent with the purposes of the 2018 Plan, as amended.
Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2018 Plan, as Amended
The following summary is intended only as a general guide to certain U.S. federal income tax consequences under current law of participation in the 2018 Plan, as amended, and does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of such participation or tax consequences based on any participant’s particular circumstances. The summary does not purport to be complete, and it does not address the tax consequences of the participant’s death, any tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a participant might reside, or any other laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws.
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Furthermore, the tax consequences are complex and subject to change, and a participant’s particular situation may be such that some variation of the described rules is applicable. Recipients of awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended, should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them as a result of their particular circumstances.
Incentive Stock Options
A participant recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under Section 422 of the Code.
If a participant holds stock acquired through exercise of an incentive stock option for more than two years from the date on which the option was granted and more than one year after the date the option was exercised for those shares, any gain or loss on a disposition of those shares (a “qualifying disposition”) will be a long-term capital gain or loss. Upon such a qualifying disposition, we will not be entitled to any income tax deduction.
If a participant disposes of underlying shares within two years after the date of grant of the option or within one year after the date of exercise of the option (a “disqualifying disposition”), the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the option exercise date and the exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed to the participant as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. To the extent the participant recognizes ordinary income by reason of a disqualifying disposition, generally the Company will be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax-reporting obligation) to a corresponding income tax deduction in the tax year in which the disqualifying disposition occurs.
The difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an incentive stock option is treated as an adjustment in computing the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income and may subject the participant to alternative minimum tax liability for the year of exercise. Special rules may apply after exercise for (a) sales of the shares in a disqualifying disposition, (b) basis adjustments for computing alternative minimum taxable income on a subsequent sale of the shares, and (c) tax credits that may be available to participants subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Nonstatutory Stock Options
Options not designated or qualifying as incentive stock options will be nonstatutory stock options having no special tax status. A participant generally recognizes no taxable income upon the grant of such an option so long as (a) the exercise price is no less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, and (b) the option (and not the underlying stock) at such time does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value (as defined in Treasury Regulations under the Code). Upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, the participant normally recognizes ordinary income in the amount of the difference between the option exercise price and the then-fair market value of the shares purchased, and withholding of income and employment taxes will apply if the participant is or was an employee. Generally, the Company will be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax-reporting obligation) to an income tax deduction in the tax year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the participant.
Upon the disposition of stock acquired by the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any recognized gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss, which will be short-term or long-term gain or loss, depending on the holding period of the stock.
Stock Appreciation Rights
A participant will not normally recognize taxable income upon the receipt of an SAR. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the exercise date over the exercise price. If
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS
the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant in connection with the exercise of the SAR (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax-reporting obligation).
Restricted Stock
A participant acquiring restricted stock generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the “determination date” ​(as defined below) and their purchase price, if any. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The “determination date” is the date on which the participant acquires the shares unless they are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and are not transferable, in which case the determination date is the earliest of (a) the date the shares become transferable, (b) the date the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the date the shares are acquired if the participant makes a timely election under Code Section 83(b). If the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not transferable when issued, the participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to have the date of acquisition be the determination date by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service, and other provisions, no later than 30 days after the date the shares are acquired. Upon the taxable disposition of shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the determination date, will generally be taxed as capital gain or loss; however, for any shares returned to the Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision, a participant’s loss may be computed based only on the purchase price (if any) of the shares and may not take into account any income recognized by reason of a Section 83(b) election. Such gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the stock was held for more than one year. The Company generally will be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation) to a corresponding income tax deduction in the year in which the ordinary income from restricted stock is recognized by the participant.
Restricted Stock Units
A participant will not normally recognize taxable income upon receipt of an RSU award. In general, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the units vest and are settled in an amount equal to any cash received and/or the fair market value of any nonrestricted shares received. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The Company generally will be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation) to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant.
Dividend Equivalent Rights
A recipient of dividend equivalent rights generally will recognize ordinary income at the time the dividend equivalent right is paid. If required, income and employment tax must be withheld on the income recognized by the participant. The Company will generally be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation) to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant.
Other Awards
The Company generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction in connection with an award under the 2018 Plan, as amended, in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and other provisions of the Code limiting the deduction of compensation, and the satisfaction of a tax-reporting obligation). Participants typically are subject to income (and employment) tax and recognize such tax at the time that an award is granted, exercised, vests, or becomes nonforfeitable, unless the award provides for a further deferral.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Section 409A
Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) imposes certain requirements on nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. Most awards granted under the 2018 Plan, as amended, will be designed to qualify for an exception from the requirements of Section 409A. Certain awards under the 2018 Plan, as amended, however, may be subject to the requirements of Section 409A in form and in operation. Awards that are subject to Section 409A will generally be designed to meet the conditions under Section 409A for avoiding the adverse tax consequences resulting from a failure to comply with Section 409A. If an award under the 2018 Plan, as amended, is subject to Section 409A and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award, to the extent vested, which may be before the compensation is actually or constructively received.
Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% federal penalty tax on the participant’s compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such deferred compensation.

Our Board of Directors, including its Audit Committee, has selected and appointed Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and recommends that stockholders vote for the ratification of such appointment. Marcum LLP has audited our financial statements annually since 2017. Marcum LLP has advised us that it does not have, and has not had, any direct or indirect financial interest in the Company that impairs its independence under SEC rules. Notwithstanding the selection, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it believes that doing so would be in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. In the event of a negative vote on ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider, but might not change, its selection.
Representatives of Marcum LLP are expected to be present virtually at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Required Vote
Provided there is a quorum for the meeting, ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting which are entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Since the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP is considered a “routine” matter on which brokers may vote without specific instructions from the customer, no broker non-votes are expected in connection with this proposal.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Information about our Board
Our Board of Directors currently comprises of eight members consisting of Drs. Haller, Ianchulev, LaBelle and Sun, and Messrs. Lee, Mather and Benjamin, and Ms. Jacobson. Each nominating director will be elected for a term of one year and will serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy may be filled by the directors then in office or the stockholders (as provided in our amended and restated bylaws).
As Chairman, Dr. Ianchulev, who is also our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer, has authority to, among other things, call and preside over meetings of our Board of Directors, set meeting agendas, and determine materials to be distributed to our Board. Accordingly, Dr. Ianchulev has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board. We believe Dr. Ianchulev possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company and our business, and is well positioned to develop agendas that ensure our Board’s time and attention are focused on critical matters.
Director Independence
Of our current directors, our Board of Directors has determined that Drs. Haller and Sun, and Messrs. Lee, Mather and Benjamin, and Ms. Jacobson are “independent” under The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules, which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of our Board would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Family Relationships
There is no family relationship between any director, executive officer, or person nominated to become a director or executive officer of the Company.
Selection of Nominees for our Board of Directors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the criteria for recommending which directors should stand for re-election to our Board and the selection of new directors to serve on our Board. In addition, the committee is responsible for establishing the procedures for our stockholders to nominate candidates to our Board. The committee has not formulated any specific minimum qualifications for director candidates, but has determined certain desirable characteristics, including educational background, diversity, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal diversity policy in connection with the consideration of director nominations or the selection of nominees. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider issues of diversity among its members in identifying and considering nominees for director, and strive where appropriate to achieve a diverse balance of backgrounds, perspectives, experience, age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship on our board of directors and its committees.
On February 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Stuart M. Grant, a shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company added two new directors, Rachel Jacobson and Stephen Benjamin, to the Board, and has nominated such directors for re-election at the Annual Meeting. In addition, the Settlement Agreement provides that a third new director shall be mutually agreed-upon by the Company and Mr. Grant. If this person is identified and agreed upon by the Company and Mr. Grant prior to the Annual Meeting, the Company intends to file a supplement to this proxy statement to include information regarding that additional nominee.
Our amended and restated bylaws permit any stockholder of record to nominate directors. Stockholders wishing to nominate a director must deliver written notice of the nomination either by personal delivery or by U.S. certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporate Secretary (i) with respect to an
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS
election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, not more than 90 and not less than 60 days before the meeting at which directors are to be elected, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of the election of directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.
Any such notice must set forth the following: (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of  (i) the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and the name and residence address of the person or persons to be nominated, and (ii) any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below); (B) (i) any material interest in each director nomination of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, individually or in the aggregate, (ii) as to the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, their holdings of our stock and whether the stockholder has entered into transactions to manage risk with respect to such stock, (iii) as to the stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person, the name and address of such stockholder and Stockholder Associated Person, as they appear on the Company’s stock ledger, and current name and address, if different, and (iv) to the extent known by the stockholder, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the nominee for election as a director; (C) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder; (E) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or as would otherwise be required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, including any information that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A had the nominee been nominated by our Board of Directors; and (F) the written consent of each nominee to be named in a proxy statement and to serve as director of the Company if so elected. Our amended and restated bylaws define “Stockholder Associated Person” as (A) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (B) any beneficial owner of our shares of stock owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder, and (C) any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate a nominee recommended by a stockholder in the same manner in which the committee evaluates nominees recommended by other persons as well as its own nominee recommendations.

Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, composed of Messrs. Lee (Chair), Mather and Benjamin, and Dr. LaBelle, each of whom satisfy the independence requirements of Rules 5605(a)(2) and 5605(c)(2) of The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act.

The Compensation Committee may consider recommendations by our Chief Executive Officer regarding the Company’s compensation and employee benefit plans and practices with respect to executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s director compensation arrangements. Pursuant to its written charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors as it deems appropriate to conduct investigations into or studies of matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to form subcommittees and may delegate to such subcommittees such power and authority as the committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that no subcommittee shall consist of fewer than two members.
The Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant during fiscal year 2021 was Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”). FW Cook is engaged by, the Compensation Committee, which has the sole authority to hire or fire FW Cook and to approve fee arrangements for work performed. FW Cook assists the Compensation Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities under its charter, including advising on proposed compensation packages for executive officers, compensation program design and market practices generally.

In fiscal year 2021, FW Cook only provided services for the Compensation Committee.

24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

making recommendations to Board with respect to potential successors to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and developing and recommending to the Board annual management succession and career development plans with respect to the Company’s senior management.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a charter, which will be reviewed annually.
Risk Oversight
While the Company’s senior management has responsibility for the management of risk, our Board of Directors plays an important role in overseeing this function. Our Board reviews our market and business risks during its meetings and, since its formation, each of its committees began overseeing risks associated with its respective area of responsibility. In particular, the Audit Committee oversees risk related to our accounting, tax, financial, and public disclosure processes. It also assesses risks associated with our financial assets. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation and benefit plans and policies to ensure sound pay practices that do not cause risks to arise that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to minimize risks related to our governance structure by implementing sound corporate governance principles and practices. Each of the Board’s committees reports to the full Board as appropriate on its efforts at risk oversight and on any matter that rises to the level of a material or enterprise level of risk.
Dr. Ianchulev currently holds the positions of both chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the Company. We believe this Board leadership structure is appropriate because of the efficiencies achieved in having the role of chief executive officer and chairman combined, and because the detailed knowledge of our day-to-day operations and business that the chief executive officer possesses greatly enhances the decision-making processes of the Board of Directors as a whole. We have a strong governance structure in place, including independent directors, to ensure the powers and duties of the dual role are handled responsibly. Furthermore, consistent with The Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements, the independent directors regularly have the opportunity to meet in executive sessions without Dr. Ianchulev in attendance.
ESG Oversight
At the board level, we recently amended the charter of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation Committee and Audit Committee to include within each committee’s purpose, duties and responsibilities oversight of our environmental, social and governance (‘‘ESG’’) practices and policies. Each committee’s specific duties and responsibilities in this regard will include reviewing, monitoring, evaluating and overseeing the Company’s programs, policies and practices relating to ESG risks, opportunities and impacts to support the sustainable growth of the Company’s business, as it relates to each such committee’s duties and responsibilities, and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the Company’s overall strategy with respect to ESG matters.
Code of Conduct
We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and agents and representatives. The full text of our code of business conduct and ethics is available under the Investors — Governance — Documents & Charters section of our website at www.eyenovia.com. Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our code of business conduct and ethics and any waivers applicable to any director, executive officer, or employee. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our code of business conduct and ethics, or waivers of such provisions applicable to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and agents and representatives, on our website identified above.
Hedging and Pledging Transactions
Under our Insider Trading Policy, we strongly discourage our employees (including our named executive officers) and our directors from hedging our securities, holding shares of our common stock in a margin account, or pledging shares of our common stock as collateral for a loan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee has (1) reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, (2) discussed with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), our independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC, (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum concerning applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Marcum’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and (4) discussed with Marcum its independence. Based upon these discussions and reviews, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is filed with the SEC.
The Audit Committee is currently composed of the following four directors: Messrs. Lee (Chair), Mather and Benjamin, and Dr. LaBelle.
All are independent directors as defined in Rules 5605(a)(2) and 5605(c)(2) of The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lee is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available under the — Investors — Governance — Documents & Charters section of our website at www.eyenovia.com.
Marcum has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2017 and audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2021.
Summary of Fees
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services that may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Under this policy, each year, at the time it engages an independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee pre-approves the engagement terms and fees and may also pre-approve detailed types of audit-related and permitted non-audit services, subject to certain dollar limits, to be performed during the year. All other permitted non-audit services are required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee on an engagement-by-engagement basis.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our common stock or other equity securities to file with the SEC certain reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our securities. Executive officers, directors, and stockholders who hold more than 10% of our outstanding registered common stock are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all required forms filed under Section 16(a). Based solely on a review of this information and written representations from these persons that no other reports were required, we believe that, during the prior fiscal year all of our executive officers, directors, and, to our knowledge, 10% stockholders complied with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, except for the Form 4 filings for each of Julia A. Haller, M.D., Frederic Eshelman, Anthony Y. Sun, M.D., Charles E. Mather, IV, Ernest Mario, Ph.D., Kenneth B. Lee, Jr. and Curt H.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies”, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The following discussion relates to the compensation of Dr. Ianchulev (our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer), John P. Gandolfo (our Chief Financial Officer), and Michael M. Rowe (our Chief Operating Officer), each a “named executive officer” for 2021.
Key Elements of Our Compensation Program for 2021
In 2021, we compensated our named executive officers through a combination of base salary and long-term equity incentives in the form of options. Our executive officers are also eligible for our standard benefits programs, which include group health insurance and vacation programs.
We do not use specific formulas or weightings in determining the allocation of the various compensation elements. Instead, the compensation for our named executive officers has been designed to provide a combination of fixed and at-risk compensation that is tied to the achievement of our short- and long-term objectives. We believe that this approach achieves the primary objectives of our compensation program.
We are continually evaluating various compensation programs to implement as our business evolves. The disclosures below describe our historical compensation practices.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our named executive officers for fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company does not have any non-equity incentive plans or awards.

As defined in the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, “Cause” means, with respect to the termination by the Company or a Related Entity of a Grantee’s Continuous Service: (i) that such termination is for “Cause” as such term (or word of like import) is expressly defined in a then-effective written employment agreement, consulting agreement, service agreement or other similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company or such Related Entity, provided, however, that with regard to any agreement that defines “Cause” on the occurrence of or in connection with a Corporate Transaction, such definition of “Cause” shall not apply until a Corporate Transaction actually occurs; or (ii) in the absence of such then-effective written agreement and definition, is based on, in the determination of the Administrator: (A) the Grantee’s performance of any act, or failure to perform any act, in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company or a Related Entity; (B) the Grantee’s dishonesty, intentional misconduct or material breach of any agreement with the Company or a Related Entity; (C) the Grantee’s material breach of any noncompetition, confidentiality or similar agreement with the Company or a Related Entity, as determined under such agreement; (D) the Grantee’s commission of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person; (E) if the Grantee is an Employee or Consultant, the Grantee’s engaging in acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, misconduct or a willful violation of a Company or a Related Entity policy which is or is reasonably expected to be materially injurious to the Company and/or a Related Entity; or (F) if the Grantee is an Employee, the Grantee’s failure to follow the reasonable instructions of the Board or such Grantee’s direct supervisor, which failure, if curable, is not cured within 10 days after notice to such Grantee or, if cured, recurs within 180 days.
As defined in the Ianchulev Employment Agreement, “Involuntary Termination” means the occurrence of any of the following without the written consent of Executive: (i) a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary, Bonus target or benefits (other than a material diminution that is applicable to all similarly situated employees and executives of the Company in connection with an across-the-board cost savings strategy); (ii) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a material

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Below we describe transactions since January 1, 2020 to which we have been or are a participant, including currently proposed transactions, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with any of these individuals, had or has a direct or indirect material interest.
Arrangement with Dr. LaBelle
Dr. LaBelle entered into a consulting agreement with us on July 6, 2017 through Cura Partners to provide consulting services not to exceed two days a week. Dr. LaBelle is entitled to receive $9,567 per month and $250 per hour for any additional work, for advisory services performed by Dr. LaBelle. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $76,536 in expenses related to this agreement. This agreement was terminated on September 1, 2020.
License Agreement with Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
During 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Senju (the “Senju License Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to grant to Senju an exclusive, royalty-bearing license for its microdose product candidates for Asia to sublicense, develop, make, have made, manufacture, use, import, market, sell, and otherwise distribute the microdose product candidates. In consideration for the license, Senju agreed to pay to Eyenovia five percent (5%) royalties on sales (net of certain manufacturing costs) for the term of the Senju License Agreement, subject to certain adjustments upon the loss of patent coverage for the term of the license agreement. The agreement will continue in full force and effect, on a country-by-country basis, until the latest to occur of: (i) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the first commercial sale of such a product candidate in a country; or (ii) the expiration of the licensed patents in a country. As of the date of this filing, there have been no commercial sales of such a product in Asia; therefore, no royalties have been earned. Senju is owned by the family of a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors and, together, they beneficially own greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock.
On April 8, 2020, Eyenovia entered into an amendment (the “Senju License Amendment”) to the Senju License Agreement. Pursuant to the Senju License Amendment, the Company can license to any third party the right to research, develop, commercialize, manufacture or use certain products identified below (the “Senju Licensed Products”) previously licensed to Senju in China (including the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) and South Korea (the “Territory”) in the agreement executed by the Company on April 8, 2021. The Senju Licensed Products are those using piezo-print technology in a microdose dispenser with (i) atropine sulfate as its sole active ingredient to treat myopia in humans and (ii) pilocarpine as its sole active ingredient to treat presbyopia in humans.
Pursuant to the Senju License Amendment, the Company must pay Senju (a) a percentage in the range of 30 to 40 percent of revenue on any lump-sum payments the Company receives from the third party, revenue (net of costs) obtained by the Company from contract research and/or development of the Senju Licensed Product in the Territory, and revenue (net of costs) obtained by the Company from contract manufacture for the device of the Senju Licensed Product in the Territory, the aggregate of which must be at least a $9 million minimum payment to Senju; and (b) a percentage in the range of 30 to 40 percent of any sales royalty revenue the Company receives from the third party. Since the Company executed a third-party license prior to April 8, 2021, the License Amendment will remain in effect for the duration of the license, subject to early termination.
The Senju License Agreement was further amended in a Letter Agreement by and between the Company and Senju on August 10, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company will pay a percentage in the range of 30 to 40 percent of certain payments, royalties, or net proceeds received from Arctic Vision in connection with the Arctic Vision License Agreement to Senju.The Senju License Agreement was amended further by the License Amendment 2, effective September 14, 2021 (the “Amendment 2”). The Amendment 2 excludes Greater China and South Korea from the territory in which Senju was granted an exclusive royalty-bearing license from the Company. In consideration for this exclusion, and upon and after the execution of Amendment 1 with Arctic Vision, the Company must make payments to Senju based on non-royalty license revenue and sales revenue, including the following:
42

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.
a one-time upfront payment of $250,000, paid on September 17, 2021, which represented an inducement to Senju to approve Amendment 1 of the Arctic Vision License Agreement related to the MicroStat product;
2.
a percentage in the range from thirty percent to forty percent of any upfront or milestone lump sum payments, or net revenues received by the Company in connection with any licensed product using piezo-print technology in a microdose dispenser containing: (a) the chemical substance atropine sulfate as its sole active ingredient and that is used for the treatment of myopia in humans; (b) the chemical substance pilocarpine as its sole active ingredient and that is used for the treatment of presbyopia in humans; or (c) the chemical substances phenylephrine and tropicamide in combination as active ingredients that are used for pharmaceutical mydriasis in humans (the “LA2 Licensed Product”) from certain third parties; and
3.
a percentage in the range from thirty to forty percent of the amounts received by the Company in connection with sales of the LA2 Licensed Product in China and South Korea by certain third parties.
Indemnification Agreements
Our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy contains various exclusions. We have also entered into director indemnification agreements with each of our directors.
Employment and Consulting Arrangements
We have entered into employment and consulting arrangements with our named executive officers that provide for salary and severance compensation. For more information regarding these arrangements and amounts earned pursuant to them, see “Executive Compensation — Employment and Consulting Arrangements” and the “Summary Compensation Table” above.
Equity Issued to Executive Officers and Directors
We granted options and restricted stock units to our named executive officers and directors in 2021, as more fully described in the “Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2021” table and “Director Compensation” above.
In January 2021, Dr. Ianchulev exercised a warrant to purchase 41,216 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.12 per share, resulting in total cash proceeds to the Company of $0.1 million.
In January 2021, Dr. Mario exercised a warrant to purchase 41,216 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.12 per share, Mario Family Partners LP exercised a warrant to purchase 41,216 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.12 per share, and the Mario 2002 Grandchildren’s Trust exercised a warrant to purchase 20,608 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.06 per share, resulting in total cash proceeds to the Company of $0.2 million. Dr. Mario, a former member of our board of directors, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares held by Mario Family Partners LP and the Mario 2002 Grandchildren’s Trust.
Procedures for Approval of Related-Party Transactions
The Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter and our Related Party Transaction Policy, is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying any related-party transaction reaching a certain threshold of significance. In the course of its review and approval or ratification of a related-party transaction, the committee, among other things, considers, consistent with Item 404 of Regulation S-K, the following:
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business;

whether the transaction was initiated by the Company or the related person;

whether the terms of the transaction are fair to the Company and on the same basis as would apply if the transaction did not involve the related person;

whether there are business reasons for the Company to enter into the transaction;

the approximate dollar value of the transaction, and the significance of that amount, particularly as it relates to the related person;

whether the transaction would impair the independence of an outside director;

any pre-existing contractual obligations; and

whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of the Company, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the director, executive officer, or the related person, the direct or indirect nature of the director’s, executive officer’s, or the related person’s interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the Audit Committee deems relevant.
Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not be permitted to vote or participate in discussions regarding approval or ratification of the transaction, but must provide all material information regarding the transaction to the Audit Committee.
Future transactions between us and our officers, directors, or 5% stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms that the committee determines in good faith to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and will be approved by a majority of our directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.
To the best of our knowledge, since January 1, 2021, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

HOUSEHOLDING MATTERS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies to deliver a single Notice of Internet Availability or a single copy of proxy materials to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless a company has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders at that address.

A Grantee’s Continuous Service shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Continuous Service or upon the entity for which the Grantee provides services ceasing to be a Related Entity. Continuous Service shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence, (ii) transfers among the Company, any Related Entity, or any successor in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant, or (iii) any change in status as long as the individual remains in the service of the Company or a Related Entity in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant (except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ix) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that any amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s written consent; provided, however, that an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee;
(x) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of Award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;
(xi) to institute an option exchange program;
(xii) to make other determinations as provided in this Plan; and

(d) Indemnification.   In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to such liabilities, costs, and expenses as may arise out of, or result from, the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or criminal acts of such persons; provided, however, that within 30 days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the same.
5. Eligibility.   Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants of the Company or any Related Entity. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Related Entity. An Employee, Director, or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors, or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.
6. Terms and Conditions of Awards.
(a) Types of Awards.   The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) an Option, an SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions. Such Awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Dividend Equivalent Rights. An Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or two or more of them in any combination or alternative.
(b) Designation of Award.   Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrator. The type of each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, any portion of an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option that exceeds the $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code will be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Related Entity). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. Any Option granted which fails to satisfy the requirements of the Applicable Laws for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(c) Conditions of Award.   Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2(c)(iv) above), repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria that may be established by the Administrator.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(d) Performance-Based Awards.   The Administrator may include in an Award provisions such that the vesting or other realization of an Award by a Grantee will be subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria as the Administrator may determine over the course of a Performance Period determined by the Administrator.
(i) The performance criteria will be established by the Administrator and may include any one of, or combination of, the following criteria:
(A) Net earnings or net income (before or after taxes);
(B) Earnings per share;
(C) Net sales growth;
(D) Net operating profit;
(E) Return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, equity, or sales);
(F) Cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, and cash flow return on capital);
(G) Cash flow per share;
(H) Earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, and/or amortization;
(I) Gross or operating margins;
(J) Productivity ratios;
(K) Share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return);
(L) Expense targets or ratios;
(M) Charge-off levels;
(N) Improvement in or attainment of revenue levels;
(O) Margins;
(P) Operating efficiency;
(Q) Operating expenses;
(R) Economic value added;
(S) Improvement in or attainment of expense levels;
(T) Improvement in or attainment of working capital levels;
(U) Debt reduction;
(V) Capital targets;
(W) Regulatory, clinical or manufacturing milestones; and
(X) Consummation of acquisitions, dispositions, projects or other specific events or transactions.
(ii) Performance criteria may be measured on an absolute (e.g., plan or budget) or relative basis, and may be established on a corporate-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, subsidiaries or business segments, or may be established on an individual basis. Relative performance may be measured against a group of peer companies, a financial market index or other acceptable objective and quantifiable indices. If the Administrator determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which the Company conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the performance objectives unsuitable, the Administrator may modify the
A-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS
minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Administrator deems appropriate and equitable. Performance objectives may be adjusted for material items not originally contemplated in establishing the performance target for items resulting from discontinued operations, extraordinary gains and losses, the effect of changes in accounting standards or principles, acquisitions or divestitures, changes in tax rules or regulations, capital transactions, restructuring, nonrecurring gains or losses or unusual items. Performance measures may vary from Award to Award, and from Grantee to Grantee, and may be established on a standalone basis, in tandem or in the alternative. The Administrator will have the authority to impose such other restrictions on as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that performance-based Awards under this Section 6(d) satisfy all requirements of the Applicable Laws.
(iii) Before the 90th day of the applicable Performance Period (or, if the Performance Period is less than one year, no later than the number of days which is equal to 25% of such Performance Period), the Administrator will determine the duration of the Performance Period, the performance criteria on which performance will be measured, and the amount and terms of payment/vesting upon achievement of the such criteria.
(iv) Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Administrator will certify in writing whether the applicable performance criteria have been achieved for the Awards for such Performance Period. A Grantee will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to an Award for a Performance Period only if the performance criteria for such Performance Period are achieved. In determining the amounts earned by a Grantee pursuant to an Award issued pursuant to this Section 6(d), the Administrator will have the right to (A) reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period, (B) determine what actual Award, if any, will be paid in the event of a Corporate Transaction or in the event of a termination of employment following a Corporate Transaction prior to the end of the Performance Period, and (C) determine what actual Award, if any, will be paid in the event of a termination of employment other than as the result of a Grantee’s death or Disability prior to a Corporate Transaction and prior to the end of the Performance Period to the extent an actual Award would have otherwise been achieved had the Grantee remained employed through the end of the Performance Period.
(v) Payment of the Award to a Grantee shall be paid following the end of the Performance Period, or if later, the date on which any applicable contingency or restriction has ended.
(e) Acquisitions and Other Transactions.   The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.
(f) Deferral of Award Payment.   The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.
(g) Separate Programs.   The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
(h) Early Exercise.   An Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise
A-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS
may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.
(i) Term of Award.   The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term shall be no more than 10 years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Related Entity, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.
(j) Transferability of Awards.   Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, no Award may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.
(k) Time of Granting Awards.   The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.
(l) Stock Appreciation Rights.   An SAR may be granted (i) with respect to any Option granted under this Plan, either concurrently with the grant of such Option or at such later time as determined by the Administrator (as to all or any portion of the Shares subject to the Option), or (ii) alone, without reference to any related Option. Each SAR granted by the Administrator under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions. Each SAR granted to any Grantee shall relate to such number of Shares as shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13. In the case of an SAR granted with respect to an Option, the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains shall be reduced in the same proportion that the holder of the Option exercises the related Option. The exercise price of an SAR will be determined by the Administrator at the date of grant but may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto on the date of grant. Subject to the right of the Administrator to deliver cash in lieu of Shares (which, as it pertains to Officers and Directors of the Company, shall comply with all requirements of the Exchange Act), the number of Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by dividing:
(i) the number of Shares as to which the SAR is exercised multiplied by the amount of the appreciation in such Shares (for this purpose, the “appreciation” shall be the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR on the exercise date exceeds (A) in the case of an SAR related to an Option, the exercise price of the Shares under the Option or (B) in the case of an SAR granted alone, without reference to a related Option, an amount which shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant, subject to adjustment under Section 13); by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date.
In lieu of issuing Shares upon the exercise of an SAR, the Administrator may elect to pay the holder of the SAR cash equal to the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of any or all of the Shares which would otherwise be issuable. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an SAR; instead, the holder of the SAR shall be entitled to receive a cash adjustment equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date or to purchase the portion necessary to make a whole share at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. The exercise of an SAR related to an Option shall be permitted only to the extent that the Option is exercisable under Section 11 on the date of surrender. Any Incentive Stock Option surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6(1) shall be deemed to have been converted into a Non-Qualified Stock Option immediately prior to such surrender.
(m) Non-Employee Director Award Limits.   The maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee Director, taken together with any cash fees
A-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS
paid during the fiscal year to the non-employee Director, in respect of the Director’s service as a member of the Board during such year (including service as a member or chair of any committees of the Board), will not exceed $150,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes). The independent members of the Board may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, provided that the non-employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.
7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes.
(a) Exercise or Purchase Price.   The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall be as follows.
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:
(1) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Related Entity, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or
(2) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(iii) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the Administrator.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(e), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the agreement to issue such Award and the Applicable Laws.
(b) Consideration.   Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following:
(i) cash;
(ii) check;
(iii) surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised;
(iv) with respect to Options, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates (or other evidence satisfactory to the Company to the extent that the Shares are uncertificated) for the purchased Shares directly to such broker-dealer in order to complete the sale transaction;
(v) with respect to Options, payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the Exercise Price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share;
A-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(vi) past or future services actually or to be rendered to the Company or a Related Entity; or
(vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(c)(vii), or by other means, grant Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.
8. Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition.   Each Employee who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
9. Tax Withholding.
(a)   Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or the exercise thereof), or at such other time as the Tax Obligations are due, the Company, in accordance with the Code and any Applicable Laws, shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all Tax Obligations. The Administrator may condition such delivery, payment, or other event pursuant to an Award on the payment by the Grantee of any such Tax Obligations.
(b)   The Administrator, pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may designate the method or methods by which a Grantee may satisfy the Tax Obligations. As determined by the Administrator from time to time, these methods may include one or more of the following:
(i) paying cash;
(ii) electing to have the Company withhold cash or Shares deliverable to the Grantee having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld;
(iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld or remitted, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences as the Administrator determines;
(iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee through such means as the Administrator may determine (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the Tax Obligations required to be withheld;
(v) retaining from salary or other amounts payable to the Grantee cash having a sufficient value to satisfy the Tax Obligations; or
(vi) any other means which the Administrator determines to both comply with Applicable Laws, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.
The amount of Tax Obligations will be deemed to include any amount that the Administrator determines may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state, local and foreign marginal income tax rates applicable to the Grantee or the Company, as applicable, with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax or social insurance liability to be withheld or remitted is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the Tax Obligations are required to be withheld.
10. Rights As a Stockholder.
(a) Restricted Stock.   Except as otherwise provided in any Award Agreement, a Grantee will not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to any of the Shares granted to the Grantee under an Award of Restricted Stock (including the right to vote or receive dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto). No dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights will be paid in respect of any unvested Award of Restricted Stock, unless and until such Shares vest.
(b) Other Awards.   In the case of Awards other than Restricted Stock, a Grantee will not have any rights of a stockholder, nor will dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights accrue or be paid, with respect to any of the Shares granted pursuant to such Award until the Award is exercised or settled and the Shares are delivered (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

11. Exercise of Award.
(a) Procedure for Exercise.
(i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and as specified in the Award Agreement.
(ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).
(b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service.   In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason other than Disability or death, such Grantee may, but only during the Post-Termination Exercise Period (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested at the date of such termination or such other portion of the Grantee’s Award as may be determined by the Administrator. The Grantee’s Award Agreement may provide that upon the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Award shall terminate concurrently with the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service. In the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant, an Employee’s Incentive Stock Option shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three months and one day following such change of status. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Award shall terminate.
(c) Disability of Grantee.   In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, such Grantee may, but only within 12 months from the date of such termination (or such longer period as specified in the Award Agreement but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three months and one day following such termination. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.
(d) Death of Grantee.   In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the death of the Grantee during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the 12 month period following the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance may exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested as of the date of termination, within 12 months from the date of death (or such longer period as specified in the Award Agreement but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement). To the extent that, at the time of death, the Grantee’s Award was unvested, or if the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.
(e) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Award within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 11 is prevented by the provisions of Section 12 below, the Award shall remain exercisable until one month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Award is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement.
12. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Manner of Issuance of Shares.
(a) If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise, vesting or any other provision of an Award is or may be unlawful under Applicable Laws, the
A-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS
vesting or right to exercise an Award or to otherwise receive Shares pursuant to the terms of an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Shares under any Applicable Law.
(b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.
(c) Subject to the Applicable Laws and any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the Shares acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such Shares to or for the benefit of the Grantee by means of one or more of the following as determined by the Administrator: (i) by delivering to the Grantee evidence of book entry Shares credited to the account of the Grantee, (ii) by depositing such Shares for the benefit of the Grantee with any broker with which the Grantee has an account relationship, or (iii) by delivering such Shares to the Grantee in certificate form.
(d) No fractional Shares shall be issued pursuant to any Award under the Plan; any Grantee who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Share upon exercise or vesting of an Award will receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional Shares in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Shares, as determined by the Administrator.
13. Adjustments.   Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) any other transaction with respect to the Company’s Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. No adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than Common Stock of the Company, nor shall cash dividends or dividend equivalents accrue or be paid in respect of unexercised Options or unvested Awards hereunder.
14. Corporate Transactions.
(a) Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction.   Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction.
(b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction.   The Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable either in advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction, and exercisable at the time of the grant of an Award under the Plan or any time while an Award remains outstanding, to provide for the full or partial automatic vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested Awards under the Plan and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights of such Awards in connection with a Corporate Transaction on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify. The
A-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Administrator also shall have the authority to condition any such Award vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent termination of the Continuous Service of the Grantee within a specified period following the effective date of the Corporate Transaction. The Administrator may provide that any Awards so vested or released from such limitations in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award.
(c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options.   Any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this Section 14 in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded.
15. Effective Date and Term of Plan.   This Plan was initially adopted by the Board on March 6, 2018 and was approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 11, 2018. A subsequent amendment to the Plan was adopted by the Board on April 5, 2019 and was approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 11, 2019. The Board approved the current Plan, as amended and restated, on April 7, 2020 and the same was approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 30, 2020. The Board approved a subsequent amendment to the Plan on March 31, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). The Plan shall continue in effect for a period of 10 years from the Effective Date unless sooner terminated. The expiration of the Plan will not have the effect of terminating any Awards outstanding on such date, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement.
16. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.
(a) The Board may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan, or amend the Plan in any respect, except that it may not, without the approval of the stockholders obtained within 12 months before or after the Board adopts a resolution authorizing any of the following actions, do any of the following:
(i) increase the total number of shares that may be issued under the Plan (except by adjustment pursuant to Section 13);
(ii) modify the provisions of Section 6 regarding eligibility for grants of Incentive Stock Options;
(iii) modify the provisions of Section 7(a) regarding the exercise price at which shares may be offered pursuant to Options (except by adjustment pursuant to Section 13);
(iv) extend the expiration date of the Plan; and
(v) except as provided in Section 13 (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the Company may not amend an Award granted under the Plan to reduce its exercise price per share, cancel and regrant new Awards with lower prices per share than the original prices per share of the cancelled Awards, or cancel any Awards in exchange for cash or the grant of replacement Awards with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Awards, essentially having the effect of a repricing, without approval by the Company’s stockholders.
(b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.
(c) No suspension or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee without his or her consent.
17. Reservation of Shares.
(a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
(b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
A-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS
18. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship.   The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or a Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.
19. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans.   Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
20. Information to Grantees.   The Company shall provide to each Grantee, during the period for which such Grantee has one or more Awards outstanding, such information as required by Applicable Laws.
21. Electronic Delivery.   The Administrator may decide to deliver any documents related to any Award granted under the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company or to request a Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting an Award, each Grantee consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company, and such consent shall remain in effect throughout Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company and any Related Entity and thereafter until withdrawn in writing by Grantee.
22. Data Privacy.   The Administrator may decide to collect, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, personal data as described in this Plan or any Award for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan. By accepting an Award, each Grantee acknowledges that the Company holds certain personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, details of all Awards awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested or unvested, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (the “Data”). Each Grantee further acknowledges that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and that these third parties may be located in jurisdictions that may have different data privacy laws and protections, and Grantee authorizes such third parties to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the recipient or the Company may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon any Award.
23. Application of Section 409A.   This Plan and Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable. All Awards will be construed and administered such that the Award either qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfies the requirements of Section 409A. If an Award is subject to Section 409A: (i) distributions will only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Section 409A, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment will only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A, (iii) payments to be made upon a Corporate Transaction will only be made upon a “change of control event” under Section 409A, and (iv) in no event will a Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made, except in accordance with Section 409A. Each payment in any series of installment payments under an Award will be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Any Award granted under this Plan that is subject to Section 409A and that is to be distributed to a “specified employee” ​(as defined in Section 409A) upon a separation from service will be administered so that any distribution with respect to such Award will be postponed for six months following the date of the
A-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Grantee’s separation from service, if required by Section 409A. If a distribution is so delayed pursuant to Section 409A, the distribution will be paid within 30 days after the end of the six-month period or the Grantee’s death, if earlier. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures, or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (A) exempt the Award from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, each Grantee will be solely responsible for the tax consequences of Awards, and in no event will the Company have any responsibility or liability if an Award does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A. Although the Company intends to administer the Plan to prevent taxation under Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that the Plan or any Award complies with any provision of federal, state, local or other tax law.
24. Unfunded Obligation.   Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.
25. Construction.   Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
