 (for reasons other than cause) or resigns for good reason within 24 months of such change of control. As with the CEO, there is a double trigger before benefits are earned under this arrangement. Provided both conditions for payment are met and the Company receives a release of all claims from the employee, the employee is entitled to receive a lump sum amount equal to two years’ base salary, two-times the employee’s average cash incentive compensation (measured over the past three full-years), 24 months’ worth of COBRA coverage for medical insurance, executive level outplacement costs, and immediate acceleration and vesting of unvested options (or other securities to which employee may have a right). For purposes of the CEO, “change in control” is defined to be identical with that set forth in the 2022 Plan. For NEOs other than the CEO, “change in control” is defined to mean, in effect, either (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company in which those who were stockholders immediately before the effective time of the merger or consolidation have less than 50% of the voting power of the new corporation or entity; (ii) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) when any person (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company or (iv) in the event over a 24 month period a majority of the board of directors is replaced by new members. Further, as a condition to payment (whether to the CEO or any of the other NEOs), the employee must execute and deliver a written release of claims against the Company.

The following table summarizes the estimated amounts that NEOs who were employed by the Company as of December 31, 2024, would be entitled to receive whether in the form of cash or securities in the event of a termination without cause or voluntary resignation for good reason after a change in control assuming, for illustration purposes, that such change in control had occurred on December 31, 2024.
