On June 22, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)
approved and adopted a revised form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement to be used in connection with grants of restricted stock
awards under the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Any future grants of restricted stock awards
made to the Company’s directors, officers, and employees under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and the revised form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as such agreement may be modified by the terms of individual grants
approved by the Compensation Committee. Revisions made to the form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement provide that, instead of
vesting the unvested portion of the restricted stock award subject to the agreement upon termination of the participant’s
service by the Company without cause, by the participant for good reason, or due to the participant’s disability, the unvested
portion of the award will be forfeited immediately upon termination for any reason.
The
foregoing description of the revised form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
form of agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
