(e) 2014 Equity Incentive Plan
 
 
On May 15, 2014, we held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at which our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of awards made under the Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, our Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is given the authority to administer the Plan (such Committee and its permissible delegates under the Plan, the “Administrator”) and to grant awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units (including restricted stock units), performance awards and cash awards to our directors, executives, key employees as well as consultants and advisors of TransAct and our subsidiaries.  Upon adoption of the Plan, no new awards will be made under our existing equity plan.  In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), any award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, the restrictions on any outstanding share of stock and any outstanding stock unit under the Plan will lapse, and the delivery of shares of stock deliverable under any outstanding award of stock units will, to the extent consistent with the deferred compensation rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, be accelerated and such shares will be delivered prior to the transaction, in each case, on a basis that will give the holder of the award a reasonable opportunity to participate as a stockholder in the change in control transaction.  The Administrator has approved a form of nonstatutory stock option agreement and a form of deferred stock award agreement to be used for grants made under the Plan.  A copy of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the form of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the form of Deferred Stock Award Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
