Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On October 20, 2020, the Company held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which, among other things, the stockholders of Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the adoption of the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and the reservation of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan authorizes the grant of equity-based compensation to the Company’s senior managers, employees, directors, consultants, professionals and service providers in the form of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (each, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSUs”).

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 27, 2020, the 2020 Plan was unanimously approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Company granted, subject to stockholder approval of the 2020 Plan at the Annual Meeting, an aggregate of 237,824 RSUs under the 2020 Plan (collectively the “2020 RSU Grants”) to the following executives officers of the Company: (i) to Brett Moyer, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, 145,000 RSUs; (ii) to George Oliva, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, 61,824 RSUs; and (iii) to Gary Williams, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer and VP of Finance, 31,000 RSUs.

 

Each of the 2020 RSU Grants are scheduled to vest on the first, second, and third anniversaries of August 15, 2020, so long as such executive officer remains in service of the Company on each such anniversary. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock under the 2020 Plan.

 

The foregoing description of the 2020 Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2020 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the SEC on September 11, 2020 and first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about September 18, 2020.
