The Additional 2026 Equity Award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and award agreements thereunder. In connection with his relocation to the United States upon receiving U.S. work authorization, Mr. Rossmann will be eligible to receive relocation services (with an additional payment for out-of-pocket tax costs) and a cash relocation subsidy equal to $500,000 in the aggregate (less applicable taxes and withholdings), which will be payable subject to continued employment in good standing. Mr. Rossmann will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, as may be amended from time to time, on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s other “Executive Officers” (as defined therein).
