On December 3, 2020, Laurie Simon Hodrick, Ph.D. and Gina A. Luna were appointed to the board of directors of Roku, Inc. Ms. Hodrick was appointed to serve as a Class I director whose term will expire at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Luna was appointed to serve as a Class II director whose term will expire at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Hodrick or Ms. Luna and us, or any other person, pursuant to which they were appointed as directors. Ms. Hodrick and Ms. Luna have also been appointed to the audit committee of the board of directors.

In accordance with our Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as amended from time to time, Ms. Hodrick and Ms. Luna will each receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000 for serving on the board of directors and an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for serving on the audit committee, both paid quarterly. Ms. Hodrick and Ms. Luna were each granted pursuant to our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan: (1) a stock option to purchase 780 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $289.10 per share, the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Stock Market on December 3, 2020, which will vest in six equal monthly amounts, and (2) a restricted stock unit for 269 shares of Class A common stock, which will vest in full on the date of our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. These equity awards have an aggregate annualized grant date value of $225,000, pro-rated on a monthly basis for the period commencing on December 3, 2020 and ending on the expected date of our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. In the event of a change in control of Roku, all of Ms. Hodrick’s and Ms. Luna’s respective unvested equity awards will vest immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control.

Each of Ms. Hodrick and Ms. Luna will enter into our standard form of indemnification agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.9 to our Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2017 (File No. 333-220318).
