The Compensation Policy also provides for further automatic annual option grants to purchase 23,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, which vest in full on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. Each of the option grants described above will vest in full in the event of a change in control (as defined in the Company's Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan).
