Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 21, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of BioCardia, Inc. (the “Company”) decided, as a cash-conserving measure, to award equity compensation in lieu of discretionary 2020 cash bonus awards to our executive officers. On such date, the Committee granted the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) set forth in the table directly below under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to Peter Altman, Ph.D., our principal executive officer, and David McClung, our principal financial officer, each a named executive officer (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). An equal number of shares of common stock of the Company are issuable upon vesting of such RSUs, and the RSUs vested in full on April 21, 2021, so long as the applicable Named Executive Officer remained continuously employed by the Company through such vesting date.
