(1) Amounts reflect annual base salary, as further described below, and, for 2021, also payouts for accrued but unused vacation in the amount of $30,768 for Mr. Hively and $12,500 for Dr. Virnich.
(2) For 2021, amounts reflect transaction bonuses paid in 2021 in connection with the Business Combination.
(3) Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock issued to the named executive officers in connection with the Business Combination in the form of Earnout Shares issued in respect of Company stock options (such restricted Earnout Shares, the “Option Earnout Shares”). The Option Earnout Shares are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. These amounts reflect the probable outcome of satisfaction of such performance conditions on the date of grant. The Option Earnout Shares issuable to Company Option holders in connection with the Business Combination, including the named executive officers, are considered stock-based compensation awards due to the requirement that the Company Option holders must remain employed by us in order not to forfeit such unvested Option Earnout Shares. The grant date fair value of the Option Earnout Shares was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model assuming that all Option Earnout Shares will be earned.
(4) Amounts for 2020 reflect the aggregate grant date fair market value of stock options granted to the named executive officers in the applicable year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The amounts for 2021 reflect the incremental fair value of the modification of performance vesting options held by the named executive officers to reflect (i) accelerated vesting of a number of performance vesting options equal to the cash-out percentage in the Business Combination and (ii) conversion of any remaining performance vesting options into time vesting options in connection with the Business Combination.
(5) Amounts reflect annual cash incentives earned by each named executive officer in the applicable year, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals.
(6) Amounts reflect employer matching contributions paid pursuant to our 401(k) plan in the amount of $11,400 and $11,600 for Mr. Hively in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and $11,600 for Mr. Dalgleish in 2021.
