Dear Stephanie:

 

On behalf of Butterfly, I am pleased to provide updated terms and conditions of your employment with Butterfly. These terms supplement the terms and conditions contained in your Offer Letter from April 2020.

 

At the upcoming meeting of the Board of Directors scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 2020, you will be promoted to the position of Chief Financial Officer and the Board will approve your new annual base salary of $400,000, to be paid twice per month, less required deductions. Your salary increase will be retroactively effective to November 16, 2020.

 

In addition, following a Board meeting to be held within the next three weeks, you will receive 375,000 Butterfly stock options and 125,000 Butterfly RSUs that will be subject to the terms of Butterfly grant agreements that will be provided to you. Subject to your continued service with Butterfly, your options will vest over a four year period with the following schedule: 25% on the last day of the calendar quarter following the one year anniversary of your start date and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months. To prevent you from having compensation income on vested RSUs when the company is not public, your RSUs will vest only assuming the consummation of the planned business combination. Thereafter, subject to your continued service to Butterfly, your RSUs will vest as to 25% of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder will vest in equal quarterly installments over the following three years, with the actual vesting dates set so as to not coincide with a company trading blackout period. These grants will replace the 250,000 options listed in your April 2020 Offer Letter. These new grants will bring you to a total of 375,000 stock options and 125,000 RSUs in Butterfly.

 

In the event that your employment with Butterfly is terminated by Butterfly without cause or by you with good reason, and subject to your execution of a severance agreement containing a customary release of claims and a commitment not to disparage Butterfly, Longview or any of their respective affiliates, you will receive: (i) payment of six months of your then annual base salary and monthly pro rata vesting of an additional six months of your equity grants if such termination is prior to the two-year anniversary of your start date; and (ii) payment of one year of your then annual base salary and vesting of an additional one year of your equity grants if such termination is after the two-year anniversary of your start date.

 

 

 

 

Your existing obligations under your Non-Competition, Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement will continue. Your severance provisions will constitute consideration for the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions contained in that agreement, with severance contingent on your continued compliance with those provisions.

 

Following the Board meeting on November 19, 2020, Butterfly will move quickly with its outside compensation consultant, Aon, to prepare an employment agreement for you, and will work with you in good faith to finalize an employment agreement, which will also include change in control provisions. Your benefits will also be addressed and are expected to be consistent with Butterfly’s existing programs as described in your April 2020 Offer Letter.

 

This is an exciting time for Butterfly and I’m delighted you are on this growth journey with us. We would like to thank you for your hard work, dedication and commitment to Butterfly during 2020 and we look forward to an exciting remainder of the year and beyond.

 

Sincerely,

Butterfly Network, Inc.
