The Employee RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of the Company were issued either partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses or a combination of both bonus and salary. The Employee RSUs vest according to the following schedule: On July 1, 2015 600,000 will vest and on December 31, 2015 an additional 600,000 shares will vest. On December 31, 2016 an additional 1.2 million shares will vest and an additional 1.6 million shares will vest on July 1, 2017. Vesting is contingent on being an employee of the Company at the time of vesting. In addition, there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no Employee RSU shares can be sold below $2.50 per share. In addition, up to an additional 25,000 shares will vest on a monthly basis.
