Business Wire
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a leading global developer and
publisher of free-to-play mobile games, announced that on November
14, 2017, its Compensation Committee awarded the following equity
awards, in the aggregate, to five newly hired employees: (1)
restricted stock units (RSUs) covering an aggregate of 7,520 shares
of Glu’s common stock, (2) time vesting stock option awards to
purchase an aggregate of 247,316 shares of Glu’s common stock and
(3) performance-based stock option awards (PSOs) to purchase an
aggregate of 75,606 shares of Glu’s common stock, each pursuant to
Glu’s 2008 Equity Inducement Plan.
The RSUs vest on a four-year schedule – 25% of the underlying
shares will vest on November 15, 2018, with the remaining 75% of
the underlying shares vesting in equal quarterly installments over
the next three years on the same day of each third month (e.g., the
next quarterly vesting date will be February 15, 2019, then May 15,
2019, etc.). The time vesting stock options have ten-year terms,
vest on a four-year schedule (25% of the underlying shares will
vest on November 14, 2018 and 2.083% of the underlying shares will
vest monthly thereafter), and have a per share exercise price equal
to $3.97, which was the closing price of Glu’s common stock on the
NASDAQ Global Market on the November 14, 2017 grant date. The PSOs
also have ten-year terms and a per share exercise price equal to
$3.97, but the PSOs vest only to the extent that Glu achieves
certain Adjusted EBITDA and bookings goals during 2018, as
discussed in further detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K that
Glu filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
11, 2017.
Glu’s Compensation Committee adopted the 2008 Equity Inducement
Plan, which is a non-stockholder approved plan, to facilitate the
granting of equity awards as an inducement material to new
employees joining Glu. NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) requires
a public announcement of equity awards made under this type of
plan.
