The same day, February 16, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the entry into a letter agreement with each of Mr. Herman and Ms. Field pursuant to which Mr. Herman will receive a cash fee of $120,000 per annum, payable monthly, and Ms. Field will receive a cash fee of $144,000 per annum, payable monthly. In addition, each of Mr. Herman and Ms. Field will receive 150,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), issuable pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, with half of such RSUs vesting upon the Effective Date and the remaining half vesting in substantially equal monthly installments over a period of 12 months.

 

The letter agreement between each of Mr. Herman and Ms. Field is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.1 and Exhibit 6.2, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference.
