Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
In April and May of 2022, the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted equity compensation awards to certain executives and employees of the Company under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. While the Talent and Compensation Committee recommended that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Matthew Oppenheimer, be included in these awards, Mr. Oppenheimer declined to be considered for an equity compensation award in recognition of industry-wide shareholder focus on dilution and to further support employee performance awards granted in the 2022 fiscal year.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.
