On September 30, 2019, Tapinator, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Award Purchase, Cancellation and Release Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) with certain of its executive officers and members of the Board of Directors (the “Participants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase any undelivered shares of common stock underlying certain restricted stock unit awards previously granted to the Participants, to the extent such awards had vested, and cancel the remaining unvested portion of such restricted stock units. As consideration for the repurchase and cancellation, the Participants were granted stock options representing the right to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of restricted stock units initially granted to such Participant and a one-time cash payment. The following table sets forth, with respect to each Participant, the number of vested restricted stock units repurchased by the Company, the number of unvested restricted stock units that were cancelled, the number of shares underlying the newly awarded stock options and the amount the cash paid to the Participant:

Name	Position	Vested RSUs/Unvested RSUs	Option Grant/Cash Payment

Brian Chan	Vice President of Finance and Accounting	0/250,000	250,000/$1,250

Each of the stock option grants were awarded pursuant to the Company’s form of Stock Option Grant and Agreement (the “Option Agreement”). Each of the stock option grants has a per share exercise price of $0.06 and vests as follows: (i) 50% in three substantially equal installments (with the first two installments rounded down for any fractional shares) on the last day of October, November, and December in 2019 (with the third installment including any fractional shares that were rounded down from the first and second installments) and (ii) the remaining 50% in 12 substantially equal installments (with the first 11 installments rounded down for any fractional shares) on the last day of each month in 2020 (with the 12th installment including any fractional shares that were rounded down from the first 11 installments).     

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Award Agreement and Option Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Award Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Form of Option Agreement that was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed on April 30, 2018, and which, in each case, are incorporated by reference herein.
