Restricted Stock Units

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), pursuant to which the CEO received restricted stock units having a stated value equal to $1,000,000. The restricted stock units represent the right to receive $1,000,000, contingent upon the closing of the Sale Transaction, which is payable upon the earlier of the two-year anniversary of the closing date of the Sale Transaction (provided that the CEO remains continuously employed by the Company through such date), or the termination of the CEO’s employment without cause after the closing of the Sale Transaction (as defined in his employment agreement) (as applicable, the “Vesting Date”). At the time of payment, the Company may elect to pay the $1,000,000 award in cash or in shares of common stock valued at the fair market value of our common stock on the Vesting Date, or any combination thereof. All issuances of common stock will be issued from our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. If payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to the CEO pursuant to the agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) that would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), payments to be made under the agreement will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax. On March 22, 2021, the agreement was amended to provide that the Vesting Date would apply after the two-year anniversary of the sale of CSI to Element Partners, LLC, Bally’s Corporation, or their affiliates (provided that the CEO remains continuously employed by the Company through such date). The Company recorded a charge to stock-based compensation and a corresponding credit to accrued compensation expense in the amount of $100,000 representing the amortization of this award during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
