In the event that the Company ceases to mine Bitcoin for any reason, the Bitcoin payment shall automatically terminate, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay Mr. Bradford any additional Bitcoin.

Modification of Existing PSUs and One-time Cash and Equity Incentive Bonuses
In addition to the foregoing, the Compensation Committee approved (i) one-time cash bonuses of $100,000 to each of Mr. Bradford and Mr. Schultz, payable on or before September 30, 2022 and (ii) the modification of the vesting terms of 450,000 PSUs owned by Mr. Bradford and 360,000 PSUs owned by Mr. Schultz (collectively, the “Existing PSUs”), such that the Existing PSUs vest in full immediately, in recognition of the growth in the Company’s annualized revenues and increased profitability since 2020. Vesting of the Existing PSUs was previously subject to the Company reaching certain market capitalization and share price milestones. The Compensation Committee also approved one-time grants of 400,000 RSUs to Mr. Bradford and 360,000 RSUs to Mr. Schultz, which shall vest on the later of the grant date and the Shareholder Approval Date.
The equity incentive grants set forth above (other than the immediate vesting of the Exiting PSUs) are subject to the Company obtaining the Shareholder Approval. The Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that it approve an increase in the number of shares available under the Plan, subject to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, by an amount to be determined by the Board, but in no event by an amount less than a number sufficient to cover the equity grants set forth above. The Shareholder Approval is expected to be sought at the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders. The Company expects that the Shareholder Approval will be obtained due to the voting power held by the Company’s directors and officers. If the Shareholder Approval has not been obtained by March 15, 2023, all such equity incentive grants shall terminate unvested and shall no longer be outstanding.
The foregoing descriptions of the amendments to the Employment Agreements of Mr. Bradford, Mr. Schultz and Mr. Vecchiarelli do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such amendments, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, and are incorporated herein by reference.
On September 13, 2022, the Compensation Committee also approved a new Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award and a new Form of Performance-Based Stock Unit Award Agreement in connection with the approval of the equity grants set forth above. The foregoing descriptions of the RSUs and PSUs do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and Form of Performance-Based Stock Unit Award Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, and are incorporated herein by reference.
