(c) Common Stock in Lieu of Board Fees

 

Each director of the Company may elect by written notice delivered on or before the first day of each calendar year whether to receive, in lieu of some or all of his or her retainer and board fees, that number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall have a value equal to the applicable retainer and board fees, based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on its then-current trading platform or exchange on the last trading day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable year. Once made, the election shall be irrevocable for such election year and the shares subject to the election shall vest and be issued one-fourth upon the first day of the election year and one-fourth as of the first day of each of the second through fourth calendar quarters thereafter during the remainder of the election year. For the 2018 calendar year, one of our directors elected to receive Common Stock in lieu of retainer and board fees of $17. Accordingly, this director was issued 18,479 shares of Common Stock in January 2018 for the first quarter of 2018, 18,478 shares of Common Stock on April 2, 2018 for the second quarter of 2018 and 18,478 shares of Common Stock on July 2, 2018 for the third quarter of 2018.
