Dais Analytic Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On February 27, 2015, the shareholders of Dais Analytic Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Dais Analytic Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The 2015 Plan was previously approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

 

The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the 2015 Plan. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 Plan, which was attached as Exhibit A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on February 5, 2015 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 10,000,000. The 2015 Plan authorized the grant to eligible individuals of (1) Stock Options (Incentive and Nonstatutory), (2) Restricted Stock, (3) Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, (4) Restricted Stock Units, (5) Other Stock-Based Awards, and (6) Cash-Based Awards. Employees of, and consultants to, our Company or its affiliates and members of our Board are eligible to receive equity awards under the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, it will administer the 2015 Plan. The Board has the power, in its discretion, to grant awards under the 2015 Plan, to select the individuals to whom awards are granted, to determine the terms of the grants, to interpret the provisions of the 2015 Plan and to otherwise administer the 2015 Plan. If approved, the 2015 Plan is effective February 27, 2015 and awards may be granted through February 27, 2025. No awards may be granted under the 2015 Plan subsequent to that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the 2015 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time.

 

Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement of Chief Executive Officer

 

On February 27, 2015, the Company and Timothy N. Tangredi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Employee”), entered into the Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”). Currently, the Company has non-interest bearing accrued compensation due to the Employee for deferred salaries earned and unpaid equal to approximately $1.3 million (the “Unpaid Compensation”).

 

The Amendment provides that, if at any time during a calendar year, the Unpaid Compensation is greater than $500,000, the Employee must convert $100,000 of Unpaid Compensation into the Company’s Common Stock during such calendar year. The conversion rate shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Company shall also pay the Employee a cash payment equal to 20% of the compensation income incurred by the Employee as a result of the conversion. Further, at any time any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under such Act) of greater of 40% of the then-outstanding voting power of Company’s voting equity interests or a person or group initiate a tender offer for the Company’s Common Stock, the Employee may convert Unpaid Compensation to Class A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company at $1.50 per share.

 

This brief description of the Amendment is only a summary of the material terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

  

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On March 5, 2015, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 250,000,000, cancel the designated but unissued Series A-D Preferred Stock and create a new series of Preferred Stock designated as the “Class A Preferred Stock”. There are no shares of Class A Preferred Stock currently issued by the Company.

 

Any holder of the Class A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends. Each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 150 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. The holders of shares of Class A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. The Holder of the Class A Preferred Stock may convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Stated Amount into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock. The number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the Stated Amount divided by the “Conversion Price”. The Conversion Price shall be equal to the 75% of the average closing price for the 30 trading days prior to the election to convert. At no time will the Corporation convert any of the Stated Amount into Common Stock if that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more than 49% of the sum of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock plus the voting power of the Class A Preferred Stock.

 

This brief description of the Class A Preferred Stock is only a summary of the material terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
