You are receiving this letter (this “Letter”) because, in connection with the Appointment and in  consideration of your continued employment with Bird Rides, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board has agreed  to amend that certain offer letter by and between you and the Company, dated as of December 27, 2018 (as  amended from time to time, the “Offer Letter”), as follows:    1. Position and Title; Reporting.  Effective as of the Effective Date, you shall serve as  President and Chief Executive Officer of Parent, and shall perform such employment duties as are usual and  customary for such position and/or as otherwise directed by the Company.  You shall report directly to the  Board.  In addition to the foregoing, you shall serve the Company, Parent and/or any of their respective  subsidiaries or affiliates in such other capacities as the Company may request from time to time, without  additional compensation.  2. Base Salary.  Effective retroactively as of June 29, 2022, you shall receive an annual base  salary (the “Base Salary”) of $550,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary  payroll practices and pro-rated for any partial year of service (including, for clarity, calendar year 2022).   3.

Subject to the approval of the Board, or a subcommittee of the Board,  you will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) covering 4,275,000 shares of Parent’s  Class A common stock (the “RSU Award”). Unless otherwise specified, the grant date shall be the date that  the Board (or a subcommittee of the Board, as applicable) approves the grant of such RSUs. The RSU Award  will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in Parent’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021  Plan”), and the applicable RSU award agreement in a form prescribed by Parent, which shall be consistent  in all respects with the terms herein, and which you will be required to sign.

Future RSU Award(s).  In addition, if Parent achieves specified stock price goals  outlined in Exhibit A attached hereto, Parent will grant you, subject to the approval of the Board or a  subcommittee thereof, one or more RSU awards (the “Performance-Vesting RSUs”).

For purposes of clarity, in connection with an Equity Restructuring (as defined in the

Free Cash Flow.  You shall be eligible to earn (i) a Performance Bonus equal to  $55,000 for each calendar quarter during which the Company achieves positive Free Cash Flow (as defined  below), beginning with the third quarter of 2022; and (ii) an additional Performance Bonus equal to $220,000  if the Company achieves positive Free Cash Flow for any three calendar quarters in the same calendar year  (i.e., in 2023 or in 2024), in each case, as determined by the Board or a subcommittee thereof. In no event  shall more than $440,000 be payable to you with respect to any one calendar year under this Section 4(b).   For purposes of this Letter, “Free Cash Flow” means, with respect to an applicable period, (1) Free Cash  Flow as reported in the applicable earnings release attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report  on Form 8-K for the applicable period or (2) if Free Cash Flow is not specifically reported in the applicable  earnings release, (x) net cash provided by operating activities, less (y) purchases of vehicles, each as reported  in the applicable earnings release attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K for  the applicable period.  c.

Certain Terminations.    a. Severance.  Subject to Section 5(b) below and your continued compliance with the  Confidentiality Information and Invention Agreement (as described in the Offer Letter (the “Confidentiality  Agreement”)), if your employment is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), then:   (i) the Company will pay you an amount equal to 12 months of your Base  Salary then in effect (the “Severance”), payable in substantially equal installments in accordance  with the Company’s normal payroll practices over the 12-month period following the termination  date (the “Severance Period”), with such installments commencing on the first regular payroll date  following the effective date of the Release (as defined below), and amounts otherwise payable prior  to such first payroll date shall be paid on such date without interest thereon;   (ii) subject to your valid election to continue healthcare coverage under Section  4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company shall continue  to provide, during the COBRA Period (as defined below), you and your eligible dependents with  coverage under its group health plans at the same levels and same cost to you as would have applied  if your employment had not been terminated (and based on your elections in effect on the date of  your termination), provided, however, that (1) if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are  provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt  from the application of Section 409A (as defined below); or (2) the Company is otherwise unable to  continue to cover you under its group health plans without incurring penalties (including without  limitation, pursuant to Section 2718 of the Public Health Service Act or the Patient Protection and  Affordable Care Act), then, in either case, an amount equal to each remaining Company subsidy  shall thereafter be paid to you in substantially equal monthly installments over the continuation  coverage period (or the remaining portion thereof); and  (iii) in the event that such Qualifying Termination occurs during the CIC Period  (as defined below), all Time-Vesting Awards (as defined below) shall, to the extent then-unvested,  vest (and, as applicable, become exercisable) on an accelerated basis as of the termination date with  respect to the number of shares underlying the award that would have vested had you remained in  continuous employment during the 24-month period following the termination date; provided,  however, that, with respect to any Time-Vesting Award that vests on a quarterly basis, the number  of Parent shares that become vested in accordance with the foregoing shall be calculated assuming  that the vesting schedule for such award is monthly (rather than quarterly) over the vesting period  from the applicable vesting commencement date (collectively, the “Equity Acceleration”).    In addition to the severance payments and benefits described in Section 5(a) above, you and the  Company acknowledge and agree that, following a Qualifying Termination of your employment, at the  Company’s request, you and the Company shall enter into an advisor or consulting agreement, pursuant to  which you will provide advisory and/or transition services to the Company and its affiliates for a period of  up to one year following the termination date, on terms and conditions determined by the Board or a  subcommittee thereof.  For clarity, you will forfeit all outstanding Parent equity awards held by you that are outstanding as  of the termination date to the extent such awards are unvested as of such date (after taking into account the  Equity Acceleration, if any), and such unvested portion of such awards will terminate on your termination  date.  

 

4    b. Release.  Any severance payments and benefits described in Section 5(a) above will  be conditioned upon your timely execution and non-revocation of the Company’s standard separation and  release agreement, including a general release of all claims, in a form prescribed by the Company (the  “Release”), within 21 days (or, to the extent required by law, 45 days) following the termination date.  For  the avoidance of doubt, the Time-Vesting Awards (or portion thereof, as applicable) that remain outstanding  and eligible to vest following the termination date (in accordance with Section 5(a)) shall actually vest and  become non-forfeitable (and, as applicable, exercisable) upon the effectiveness of the Release. Any payments  subject to Section 409A that are subject to execution of the Release which may be executed and/or revoked  in a calendar year following the calendar year in which the payment event (such as termination of  employment) occurs shall commence payment only in the calendar year in which the consideration period  or, if applicable, release revocation period ends, as necessary to comply with Section 409A.    c. Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Letter:  (i) “2021 Plan” shall mean Parent’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan.   (ii) “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the 2021 Plan.  (iii) “CIC Period” shall mean the 24-month period beginning on and following  a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Plan).

(v) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the  following events without your prior written consent unless the Company fully corrects the  circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of correction):  (1) a material reduction in your Base Salary, other than a reduction up to 10% in connection with an  across-the-board reduction affecting all similarly situated executives of the Company; (2) a material  diminution of your title, authority, duties or responsibilities (excluding for this purpose (I) any  change that occurs during the CIC Period due to you ceasing to serve as the President and Chief  Executive Officer of Parent but continuing to serve as a C-suite executive (or similar title) of Parent  or the Company or any successor or ultimate parent (as applicable) and (II) any isolated, insubstantial  or inadvertent actions not taken in bad faith and which are remedied by the Company promptly after  receipt of notice thereof given by you); (3) a relocation of your principal workplace (which may  include your personal residence) by more than 35 miles; (4) a material breach by the Company or  any of its affiliates of this Letter or the Offer Letter (as amended herein); or (5) a requirement that  you report to any person other than the Board (other than temporarily or as required by applicable  law) (excluding for this purpose any change that occurs during the CIC Period due to you ceasing to  report to the Board of Parent but continuing to report to the Board of the Company or any successor  or ultimate parent (as applicable)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be deemed to have  resigned your employment for Good Reason unless (x) you provide the Company with written notice  setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances you claim to constitute Good Reason  within 90 days after the date of the occurrence of any event that you know or should reasonably have  known to constitute Good Reason; (y) the Company fails to cure such acts or omissions within 30  days following its receipt of such notice; and (z) the effective date of your resignation for Good  Reason occurs no later than 60 days after the expiration of the Company’s cure period.

5    (vii) “Time-Vesting Awards” shall mean all outstanding Parent equity awards  that vest solely on the passage of time that are held by you on the termination date (including, for  clarity, any then-unvested performance-vesting equity award (to the extent then-outstanding) that,  as of the termination date, has satisfied the applicable performance goal(s) (but which remain subject  to time-based vesting conditions)).   d. No Other Rights.  Except as expressly provided in Section 5(a), you shall not be  entitled to any additional payments or benefits upon or in connection with your termination of employment.  6. Taxes, Withholding and Required Deductions.

Notwithstanding  the foregoing, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments or benefits  described above, shall be paid to you during the six-month period following your “separation from service”  from the Company if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in  this Letter would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  If the payment of  any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the  end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A  without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of your death), the Company shall pay  you a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to you  during such period.    7. Indemnification.  The Company will indemnify, defend, and hold you harmless to the  fullest extent provided in the Company’s Bylaws and other organizing documents, including the Certificate  of Incorporation and any separate, written indemnification agreement entered into by and between you and  the Company in the same form as provided to all other Company officers and directors.    8.

By:  /s/ Travis VanderZanden ______________   Name:  Travis VanderZanden  Title:    Chair of the Board      Acknowledged and Agreed:    /s/ Shane Torchiana    Dated: ___11/09/2022_______________  Shane Torchiana  

 

    EXHIBIT A    Grant of Performance-Vesting RSUs; General Vesting Schedule    Grant of RSUs.  Performance-Vesting RSUs will be granted to you in two separate tranches as set  forth in the table below (each, a “Tranche”), following the attainment of the applicable Price Per Share (as  defined below) goals set forth in the following table (each, a “Price Per Share Goal” and, the date on which  such Price Per Share Goal is attained (the “Vesting Commencement Date”)), in each case, subject to  approval by the Board or a subcommittee thereof.    Price Per Share Goal (1)  Number of   Granted  Performance- Vesting RSUs  Price Per Share is greater than or equal to $2.50 for any 10 Trading Days (as  defined below), which may or may not be consecutive, within any 20  consecutive Trading Day period within the Performance Period    1,750,000  Price Per Share is greater than or equal to $5.00 for any 10 Trading Days,  which may or may not be consecutive, within any 20 consecutive Trading Day  period within the Performance Period    875,000    (1)  Upon a Change in Control during the Performance Period, the Price Per Share shall be the CIC Price  (as defined below) and the Price Per Share Goal shall be measured without regard to the Trading  Day period described in the table above.    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Price Per Share Goal may be achieved only once during  the Performance Period and (ii) more than one Price Per Share Goal may be achieved on a particular date.   For example, if the first Price Per Share Goal of $2.50 per Share is satisfied on January 21, 2023, the Price  Per Share thereafter drops below such level and again reaches $2.50 per Share, then no additional  Performance-Vesting RSUs shall be granted with respect to the achievement of such Price Per Share Goal  a second time.    Service-Vesting Requirement.  Each Performance-Vesting RSU granted to you with respect to a  Tranche shall fully vest as to 1/6th of the total number of RSUs subject such Tranche on each quarterly  anniversary of the applicable Vesting Commencement Date, such that all of the RSUs subject to such  Tranche shall have fully vested as of the 18-month anniversary of such Vesting Commencement Date,  subject to your continued employment with the Company or its affiliates through the applicable vesting  date (and rounded down to the nearest whole RSU until the final vesting date).    Change in Control    If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, and a Price Per Share Goal is first  achieved based on the CIC Price, then any Performance-Vesting RSUs to which such Price Per Share Goal  applies shall be granted (or, as determined by the Board or a subcommittee thereof in its sole discretion,  shall be deemed granted) and shall be eligible to vest following such Change in Control subject to the  satisfaction of the service-vesting condition set forth above.  Notwithstanding the generality of the  foregoing, in the event that a Price Per Share Goal was achieved prior to such Change in Control, no  additional Performance-Vesting RSUs shall be granted with respect to the achievement of such Price Per  Share Goal in connection with such Change in Control.  

 

  Exhibit A-2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the 2021 Plan (including Section  8.3 of the 2021 Plan), if, in connection with the occurrence of a Change in Control, if any Performance- Vesting RSUs have not or do not become granted due to failure to achieve the applicable Price Per Share  Goal, then your right to the grant of such RSUs automatically will be forfeited and terminated without  consideration therefor as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.  Termination of Service    Upon your termination of employment for any reason, all Performance-Vesting RSUs that have not  become granted as of the date of such termination of employment (because the applicable Price Per Share  Goal has not yet been achieved) automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration  therefor.    Definitions    “CIC Price” means the price per Share of Class A Common Stock (each such term as defined in  the 2021 Plan) (or, in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Parent’s  assets, the implied price per Share of Class A Common Stock) paid by an acquiror in connection with such  Change in Control or, to the extent that the consideration in the Change in Control transaction is paid in  stock of the acquiror or its affiliate, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator (as defined in  the 2021 Plan), the CIC Price shall mean the value of the consideration paid per Share based on the average  of the closing trading prices of a share of such acquiror stock on the principal exchange on which such  shares are then traded for each Trading Day during the five consecutive Trading Days ending on and  including the date on which a Change in Control occurs.  In the event the consideration in the Change in  Control takes any other form, the value of such additional consideration shall be determined by the  Administrator in its sole discretion.    “Performance Period” means the period beginning on (and including) the Start Date and ending  on (and including) the five year anniversary of the Start Date.    “Price Per Share” means (i) the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one Share quoted on  the New York Stock Exchange (or the exchange on which the Shares are then listed); or (ii) if a Change in  Control is consummated during the Performance Period, the CIC Price.    “Trading Day” means any day on which Shares are actually traded on the principal securities  exchange or securities market on which Shares are then traded.a2022q1exhibit104
