This generous gesture of appreciation marks an exciting milestone for the company, as it continues to strive towards its mission of advancing innovative therapies for those living with respiratory diseases.
On May 3, 2023, Savara’s Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee awarded two new employees a generous package of inducement awards. These awards consisted of options to purchase 195,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 125,000 restricted stock units (RSUs), granted in accordance with the Savara Inc. 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan, as an incentive to join the Company.
Our options come with an exercise price of $1.89 per share, the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market at the grant date. These options are valid for 10 years, and vest in 1/16th of the number of shares subject to the option on each quarterly anniversary of the employee’s first day of employment, as long as they remain employed on such vesting date. The RSUs vest in full on the two-year anniversary of the employee’s first day of employment, as long as they remain employed on such vesting date.
