EVFM 2018 Proxy Statement
22 The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Pursuant to the provisions of the 2014 Plan, the Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion, the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such awards and all of their terms and conditions. The Compensation Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2014 Plan and awards granted under it. The 2014 Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by us of any director, officer, or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such persons action or failure to act in administering the 2014 Plan. In the event of a change in control as described in the 2014 Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan or substitute substantially equivalent awards. The Compensation Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of the board of directors who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full upon a change in control. Any award held by a participant whose service has not terminated prior to a change in control that is not assumed, continued, or substituted for in connection with a change in control or are not exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in an award agreement governing any award, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, any award that is not assumed, continued, or substituted for in connection with a change in control shall, subject to the provisions of applicable law, become fully vested and exercisable and/or settleable as of a date prior to, but conditioned upon, the consummation of the change in control. The 2014 Plan also authorizes the Compensation Committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each vested share subject to the cancelled award (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Compensation Committee) of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award. The vesting schedules of all outstanding options of the Company, excluding any shares issuable pursuant to the assumed equity incentive plan of Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan, were fully accelerated in connection with the Merger and termination of employment or service arrangement with the Company. The 2014 Plan will continue in effect until it is terminated, provided, however, that all awards will be granted, if at all, within ten years of its effective date. The Compensation Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan at any time, provided that without stockholder approval, the 2014 Plan cannot be amended to increase the number of shares authorized, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options, or effect any other change that would require stockholder approval under any applicable law or listing rule. Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan The Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan was assumed by the Company in connection with the Merger and shares of Evofem Operations common stock issuable pursuant to options previously granted under the Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan became options to purchase our common stock upon completion of the Merger. No new awards may be granted under the Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan. As of February 28, 2018, a total of 159,325 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options under the Evofem Operations Equity Incentive Plan. Perquisites, Health and Retirement Benefits Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits Our named executive officers and the Evofem Operations officers listed above are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, group life and disability insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as other employees.
