Equity Awards and Equity Plan Amendment

 

In June 2024, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company completed its review of, and recommendations to the Board regarding, and the Board approved, grants of equity awards to its senior employees, officers and directors for prior services rendered (the “Compensation Awards”), grants of annual awards to senior employees and officers (the “2024 Annual Equity Awards”), and grants of annual awards to the non-employee members of the Board (the “Director Equity Awards” and together with the Compensation Awards and the 2024 Annual Equity Awards, the “Equity Awards”). The Equity Awards were issued pursuant to the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering approximately 2.3 million ordinary shares of the Company in the aggregate.

 

The Compensation Awards vest in full in February 2025 upon the expiration of contractual lock-up restrictions. The 2024 Annual Equity Awards vest in full either one year from the date of grant or in equal annual installments over a three-year period. The Director Equity Awards vest in full immediately prior to the Company’s annual general meeting following the date of grant. The Equity Awards had a total approximate aggregate value of $24 million based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on June 1, 2024.

 

In connection with the Equity Awards, the Compensation Committee also determined that it was advisable, and the Board approved, an amendment and restatement of the 2024 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the “Amended and Restated 2024 Incentive Award Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2024 Incentive Award Plan amends the 2024 Incentive Award Plan to modify the date that the evergreen provision annually increases the number of shares reserved (to July 1 from January 1); removes the provision regarding the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance to any non-employee director under the Plan during any single fiscal year; and makes certain other ministerial changes. In addition, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, a Form of Employee RSU Agreement and a Form of Director RSU Agreement. A copy of the Amended and Restated 2024 Incentive Award Plan is furnished hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and a copy of the Form of RSU Agreement used for employees and a copy of the Form of Director RSU Agreement used for non-employee directors are furnished hereto as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3, respectively.

 

The information contained in this Report on Form 6-K (including Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3) is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form F-1 (File No. 333-278400) and Form S-8 (File No. 333-280017).
