The RSUs vest over four years, with 25 percent of such RSUs vesting when such employee completes 12 months of continuous service measured from the vesting commencement date, and the balance of the RSUs vesting in a series of successive equal yearly installments of 1/4 of the original number of RSUs upon each such employee’s completion of each additional year of service over the three-year period following the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date.
