The Plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 10,000 shares of Common Stock without further direction from Mr. Verebelyi in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, which includes a minimum price threshold, during the period commencing 90 days after the execution date of the Plan and continuing until all 10,000 shares are sold or February 25, 2020, whichever occurs first.
The Plan is designed to comply with the Policy and the Company’s insider trading policy, as well as the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
All sales of Common Stock under the Plan will be disclosed publicly in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations through appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific pre-planned stock trading plans of Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications or terminations of the Plan or the plan of any other individual.
