Exhibit 10.1

Douglas J. Devine, CPA
Dear Doug:
We are pleased to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer with iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). If you decide to join us, you will receive a salary and certain employee benefits as explained in Exhibit A. You should note that the Company may modify job titles, salaries, and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary.
In addition, if you decide to join the Company, it will be recommended at the first meeting of the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) following your start date that the Company grant you equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of two million dollars ($2,000,000), consisting of the following:
1.An award of performance stock units (“PSUs”) covering a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,000,000 which will vest pursuant to the performance-based metrics set forth in the Company’s 2020 PSU incentive program, subject to your continuing employment through the vesting date.
2.An award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,000,000 which will vest annually over four years at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per year, subject to your continuing employment through each vesting date.
Each equity award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2016 Plan”) and, as applicable, a PSU agreement or RSU agreement thereunder.
For purposes of this letter, the grant date fair value of each award will be determined in accordance with the Company’s standard equity grant practice, which typically means, with respect to awards of PSUs and RSUs, the grant date fair value will be calculated based on the thirty (30) day average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the calendar month prior to your start date, or such other methodology the Board or Compensation Committee may determine prior to the grant of the awards becoming effective.
No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant of the equity awards confer any right to continue vesting or employment.
The Company is excited about your joining and looks forward to a beneficial and productive relationship. Nevertheless, you should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes at-will employment. As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two weeks’ notice.
As a new employee, you will work on an introductory basis for the first ninety (90) calendar days after your date of hire. This introductory period is intended to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to achieve a satisfactory level of performance and to determine whether the new position meets your expectations. The Company uses this period to evaluate your capabilities, work habits, and overall performance. It is also a time to get to know your fellow employees, your manager, company culture and the tasks involved in your job position, as well as to become familiar with the Company’s products and services. This introductory period does not affect your at-will employment status, meaning that the employment relationship may be terminated at any time and for any non-discriminatory reason by either party.
The Company reserves the right to conduct background investigations and/or reference checks on all of its potential employees. Your job offer, therefore, is contingent upon a clearance of such a background investigation and/or reference check, if any.
Exhibit 10.1
For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated.
We also ask that, if you have not already done so, you disclose to the Company any and all agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect your eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which you may be employed. It is the Company's understanding that any such agreements will not prevent you from performing the duties of your position and you represent that such is the case. Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company. Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of your former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information.
As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by the Company's rules and standards. As a condition of your employment, you are also required to sign and comply with an At‑Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (“CIIAA”) which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent rights to any invention made during your employment at the Company, and non‑disclosure of Company proprietary information. In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of our employment relationship, you and the Company agree that (i) any and all disputes between you and the Company will be fully and finally resolved by binding arbitration, (ii) you are waiving any and all rights to a jury trial but all court remedies will be available in arbitration, (iii) all disputes will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator who will issue a written opinion, (iv) the arbitration will provide for adequate discovery, and (v) the Company will pay all the arbitration fees, except an amount equal to the filing fees you would have paid had you filed a complaint in a court of law. Please note that we must receive your signed CIIAA before your first day of employment.
To accept the Company's offer, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below. If you accept our offer, we anticipate your first day of employment will be Monday, June 22, 2020. This letter, along with any agreements relating to proprietary rights between you and the Company, set forth the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior representations or agreements including, but not limited to, any representations made during your recruitment, interviews or pre‑employment negotiations, whether written or oral. This letter, including, but not limited to, its at‑will employment provision, may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by the President of the Company and you. This offer of employment will terminate if it is not accepted, signed and returned by Thursday, June 4, 2020. An At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement will follow in a separate communication should you decide to accept.
We look forward to your favorable reply and to working with you at iRhythm Technologies, Inc.
Sincerely,
