Edgio entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Cumming (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides that Mr. Cumming will commence performance of duties on August 22, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Cummings will receive a base salary of $450,000 and he is eligible to receive a target annual cash incentive bonus of $337,500 for calendar year 2022, which shall be prorated for the portion of calendar year 2022 during which Mr. Cumming is employed with Edgio. The actual earned annual cash incentive, if any, will be payable upon the achievement of performance goals established or approved by the Board or by the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board.
Edgio will issue to Mr. Cumming $2,300,000 worth of equity awards in the form of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and an option to purchase shares of Edgio’s common stock (“Options”) pursuant to our Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

All unvested equity awards as of the Separation Date shall be forfeited.
