Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 20, 2024 (the “Grant Date”), Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the “Company”) granted Shahram Askarpour, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, an award of 2,100,000 performance stock units (the “CEO Performance Award”) under the Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the CEO Performance Award, Mr. Askarpour would earn one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) for each performance stock unit that vests if the Company’s Common Stock trades for 20 consecutive trading days at or above the applicable trading price thresholds (each such threshold, a “Vesting Price”), described below, during the four-year period following the Grant Date (the “Performance Period”).
The performance stock units will vest in three tranches (each a “Tranche”). Each Tranche consists of one-third of the performance stock units. The Vesting Prices for the three Tranches are $10.00, $12.00 and $14.00, respectively, but if the first Tranche has not vested by the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Vesting Price first Tranche will be increased to $12.00 for the remainder of the Performance Period. Any performance stock units that have not vested as of the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited.
In the event Mr. Askarpour’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, any unvested performance stock units will be immediately forfeited with no compensation or payment due to Mr. Askarpour. If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or similar event occurs during the Performance Period, each unvested Tranche will vest as of the effective time of such Change in Control to the extent that the per share consideration received by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Change in Control is equal to or greater than the applicable Vesting Price for such Tranche.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the CEO Performance Award does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the award agreement evidencing the CEO Performance Award, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
