STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GeneDx, renowned for its dedication to enhancing health outcomes through genomic and clinical insights, is making a bold move to fortify its team. Starting October 1, the compensation committee of GeneDx’s board of directors is granting a whopping 133,998 restricted stock units (RSUs) to newly-hired employees. These RSUs are designed to serve as a compelling inducement for each new team member as they embark on their journey with GeneDx, fully compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
Now, let’s talk about the exciting part vesting. The inducement RSUs will begin to unlock with a bang, as 25% of the underlying shares become available on the first anniversary of October 1, 2023 (let’s call it the “Vesting Commencement Date”). But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Over the course of the next 12 quarterly anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date, another 6.25% of the underlying shares will be up for grabs, provided our talented recruits continue their dedicated service with GeneDx on each respective vesting date.
Each RSU represents a tantalizing opportunity—a promise that, upon settlement, the holder will receive 1 share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock. And as the final flourish, GeneDx typically arranges a clever “sell to cover” transaction to fund any tax withholding obligations associated with RSU vesting and settlement.
This isn’t just business as usual; it’s GeneDx’s way of showing a warm welcome and a bright future to its new team members, setting the stage for a journey of growth and success.
