Standard BioTools announces inducement grant under Nasdaq listing rule

Standard BioTools announced that the Human Capital Committee of its Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of independent directors, granted an equity award effective as of May 20, 2024, under the Standard BioTools Inc. 2022 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan. The equity award consisted of an award of 207,832 restricted stock units as a material inducement to a new employee entering into employment with Standard BioTools. The RSU award was approved in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). With respect to the RSUs, 1/4th of the total number of shares of common stock underlying the RSUs will initially vest on May 20, 2025 and 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSUs will vest every three months after the initial vesting date until fully vested; provided, however, that if a vesting date would otherwise fall on a day when the national stock exchange upon which the shares are listed is not open for trading, vesting will occur on the first trading day thereafter. Vesting in all instances is subject to the new employee’s continued service with Standard BioTools through each applicable vesting date, in addition to the other terms and conditions of the Plan and the RSU agreement covering the grant.
