On December 24, 2014, the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (the “Company”) approved amendments (“Amendments”) to the equity awards of Peter Wrighton-Smith, Ph.D., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, made pursuant to Appendices C and D of the Company’s 2013 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to incorporate “double-trigger” vesting. As amended, the unvested portion of the equity awards will automatically vest if within one year of a Change in Control (as defined in the Amendments) the Company terminates the CEO’s employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or the CEO terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Amendments). If the event constituting Good Reason is the change in composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (as described in the Amendments), automatic vesting will apply only if the change in Board composition occurs after the one year anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Change in Control.
The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of First Amendment to Officer Restricted Share Award under Appendix C of the 2013 Share Incentive Plan and First Amendment to Officer Stock Option Award under Appendix D of the 2013 Share Incentive Plan, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and incorporated herein by reference.
