Luminar Announces Inducement Grants under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)
The 820,379 RSUs are subject to time-based vesting in equal installments on a semi-annual basis over a three-year period following the employment start date, subject to the executive's continued service with the Company through each vesting date. The remaining 468,788 RSUs are fully vested on the date of grant, and subject to clawback by Luminar if within 12 months following the employment start date, the Company terminates the executive's employment for 'cause' or he resigns without 'good reason.'
The up to 820,379 PSUs are eligible to vest as to one-third of the award based on achievement of each of three performance goals, as set by the Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee of Luminar's Board of Directors, which require Company market capitalization appreciation over a trailing 90-day period subject to the executive's continued service with the Company through the date of certification of such achievement.
Upon a termination of Mr. Ricci's employment by Luminar without 'cause' or his resignation for 'good reason,' including in connection with a change in control, any then-unvested RSUs and PSUs will be subject to certain accelerated vesting provisions.
The equity awards are being granted to Mr. Ricci pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, dated May 26, 2025. The awards are being granted outside of Luminar's Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, but except as set forth in the applicable award agreement, will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to the applicable awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee of Luminar's Board of Directors approved the employment inducement awards in reliance on the employment inducement exception to shareholder approval provided under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). To comply with the terms of this exemption, the employment inducement awards require an immediate public announcement of the award and written notice to the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Delisting and proposed timing of the Delisting remain subject to: (i) review and approval from the TSX, and (ii) approval by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ('CVM') in Brazil for the change of the underlying securities of the Company's BDRs from Common Shares held on CDS on TSX to Common Shares listed on Nasdaq. Aura has decided to pursue the Delisting of the Common Shares from the TSX following the completion of listing its Common Shares on Nasdaq on July 16th, 2025, and its intention to consolidate the trading in the U.S. equity market, which the Company expects will improve its stock liquidity. The decision for the Delisting has also taken into consideration, among other things, the ongoing fees and expenses associated with maintaining a TSX listing and the availability of an alternative market for the Common Shares on Nasdaq. The Company will provide further details, including the anticipated effective date of the Delisting and any relevant approvals, in a subsequent news release as soon as such information becomes available.
