Restricted stock units.
Dr.
Hesterberg, formerly our Sr. Vice President-Research & Development, was appointed Chief Scientific Officer.
The
stock options were granted under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and will vest and thereby become exercisable
as follows: 25% will vest upon the completion of one year of continuous service as an employee from the date of grant, and the
balance will vest in 36 equal monthly installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the executive’s
continuous service as an employee on the applicable vesting date. The exercise price of the stock options is $3.52 per share,
the fair market value of OncoCyte common stock determined in accordance with the Plan.
The
options will be incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent permitted by the Code.
The stock options will
be subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement and the Plan, and any applicable provisions of the executive’s
employment agreement, and will expire if not exercised within ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination
in the event of the termination of the executive’s employment.
The
Restricted Stock Units or RSUs granted to Mr. Levine will vest upon the completion of one year of continuous service as an employee
from the date of grant. Vested RSUs may be settled by OncoCyte through the delivery of shares of OncoCyte common stock, or at
our election, by a cash payment of the fair market value of the vested shares as determined in accordance with the Plan.
