LTIP grants are approved and granted annually at the end of each fiscal year, typically in March.
You have already received a grant for FY26 (current fiscal year) of 3256 shares, calculated using your prior base salary at 15% of base salary.

A one-time grant of restricted stock units with value of USD $500,000 on the grant date, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 15, 2025, that will cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Should your employment as the Senior Vice President, Product ID Division of the Company be terminated without Cause prior to the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of this Amendment and (b) the consummation of a Change-In-Control (hereinafter defined), your restricted stock units subject to this grant would vest ratably based on your time served as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Product ID Division.

All incentives, stock options or restricted stock units granted or exercised pursuant to this Employment Contract shall be subject to applicable and permissible (under applicable law) deductions and/or withholdings.

 

Change-in-Control:

 

Should a sale of a material part of the Company (as determined by the Board or a designated committee thereof) or a Change-In-Control, in either case in connection with which a dividend or distribution is declared and paid to the shareholders of the Company or consideration is otherwise paid to the shareholders of the Company, occur prior to the third anniversary of the restricted stock units’ grant date, you will be entitled to receive an amount, in the same form as is paid or distributed to the shareholders of the Corporation, that would have been distributable with respect to the number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units described above that remain unvested immediately following the consummation of such transaction, less any applicable tax withholdings, provided that (i) your eligibility to receive such a payment shall be conditioned upon your continued employment by the Company or one of its subsidiaries through the date the transaction is consummated and (ii) you shall not be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to this resolution in connection with a transaction with respect to any restricted stock units for which the vesting is accelerated or for which payment is otherwise made in connection with the consummation of that transaction.
