The annual option award vests, assuming continued service, on the earlier to occur of the anniversary of the date of grant and the date immediately preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders. Prior to the amendment, the Policy provided that each continuing non-employee director who had served as a director for at least six months on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders received an annual award of restricted stock units with a fair value at issuance of $100,000. In accordance with the amended Policy, each of our non-employee directors received an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
