The options were awarded in three tranches. Under the first tranche, option awards covering up to 100,000 shares vest over two years, with 50% of the original number of shares underlying the option vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the two-year anniversary of the grant, subject to Mr. Hullinger’s continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting dates.
