The restricted stock units shall vest ratably in equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restricted shares, or restricted stock units, in the case of Mr. Tim T. Hansen (the "Vesting Shares") to be issued to each of Mr. John C. Hadjipateras, Mr. John C. Lycouris, Mr. Theodore B. Young, Mr. Tim T. Hansen and Mr. Alexander C.

Each restricted share award will be made pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the form of which is incorporated by reference herein. As disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) by the Company, each of the Named Executive Officers also received a $1,500 holiday bonus.

All other compensation paid in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 or earned by each of the Company’s named executive officers in respect of the same period was previously reported by the Company in the Form 10-K, including in the summary compensation table beginning on page 92 of the Form 10-K.

 ⁽¹⁾ Based on a conversion rate of 1 DKK = 0.1586 USD, which was the conversion rate applicable as of July 22, 2021, Mr. Tim T. Hansen’s base salary would have increased from $515,450 to $539,240.

The cash bonus payments, restricted share awards and base salaries are in recognition of the officers' contributions to the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

As of the filing of the Form 10-K, the Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Bonuses and the base salaries described above had not been determined, and thus were not included in the Form 10-K. In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the Company has included such information herein.
