2020 Equity Incentive Plan
On October 14, 2020, the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) became effective. The 2020 Plan authorized 6,683,919 new shares, subject to adjustments pursuant to the 2020 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units
Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and members of the Company’s board of directors. The fair value of the RSUs is determined using the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

RSU activity under the 2020 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was as follows:
Number of SharesWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding non-vested, December 31, 20231,670,509 $15.44 
Shares granted1,104,000 12.19

Shares forfeited(141,562)15.11 
Outstanding non-vested, June 30, 20241,951,594 $13.57 
Performance Stock Units
The Company has granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain employees. The PSUs cliff vest after three years and upon meeting certain revenue and adjusted EPS targets. The PSUs also contain a modifier based on the total stock return (“TSR”) compared to a certain index which modifies the number of PSUs that vest. The PSUs were valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation method on the date of grant based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates. The following assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation for computing the grant date fair value of the PSUs issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

For six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $4.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation costs. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $26.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to RSUs and PSUs, which are expected to be recognized over 2.2 years each.

Deferred Compensation Plan
On May 21, 2024, the Human Capital Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Array Technologies, Inc. adopted the Array Tech, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Participation in the Plan is voluntary and is currently available to U.S. employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at the level of Vice President and above.

The Plan allows participants to defer up to 50% of their base salary and/or up to 100% of their cash incentive compensation. There is no maximum dollar limit on the amount that may be deferred by a participant in any year.

In addition, the Company will make a matching contribution to the Plan in respect of cash compensation that could not be recognized under the Company’s 401(k) plan due to the Code Section 401(a)(17) compensation limit ($0.3 million for 2024). The Plan matching contribution will be equal to the matching contribution for the Company’s 401(k) plan for the applicable year. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may also provide discretionary contributions to participants annually as determined by the Committee. The participants are 100%
vested in the amount they defer, and any Company contributions will vest fully on the second anniversary of the date on which the Company contribution was made.

Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan, along with any Company contributions to the Plan, may be invested by participants in various investment fund vehicles, which mirror the investment fund vehicles offered to participants as part of the Company’s 401(k) plan.

Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan will be distributed in accordance with elections made by the participant. Participants may elect to receive distributions upon a separation from service or a specified date in the form of a lump sum payment or annual installment payments for up to ten years, for distributions following a separation from service, or five years, for distributions upon a specified date. Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan may also be distributed in the form of a lump sum benefit in the event of the participant’s death, disability, or unforeseeable emergency that results in “severe financial hardship,” as contemplated by Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan does not require the Company to establish any trust, escrow account, or other mechanism to hold the participant deferrals and Company contributions. The obligations of the Company under the Plan are general unsecured obligations.

The Company may amend the Plan at any time, except that no such amendment or termination may adversely affect a participant’s right with respect to the amount of the participant’s accounts as of the date of such amendment or termination. The Company may terminate the Plan at any time, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and pay the participants their vested amounts in a single lump sum or on a schedule determined by the Committee.
