(e) (i) On November 5, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”), to include the right to grant Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the 2014 Plan. All of the Company’s executive officers are eligible to participate in the 2014 Plan.

 

A copy of the Amendment No. 2. to the 2014 Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference to this Form 8-K. In addition, the foregoing summary of the RSUs is subject to, and qualified in its entirety to the terms set forth in the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and the Form of the Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference to this Form 8-K.

 

(ii) In addition, on November 5, 2020, the Board approved an annual cash bonus plan (the “Annual Bonus Plan”) which allows the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of the Company to set the amount of bonus each fiscal year and the performance criteria.

The Annual Bonus Plan is effective for fiscal year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter (the “Plan Year”). For each Plan Year, the Compensation Committee will establish an aggregate amount of allocable Bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan and determine the performance goals applicable to a bonus during a Plan Year (the “Participation Criteria”). The Participation Criteria may differ from Participant to Participant and from bonus to bonus. The Participation Criteria for fiscal year 2021 is based on the Company achieving certain performance targets based on annual revenue, gross margin, operation expense and new business development. All of the Company’s executive officers are eligible to participate in the Annual Bonus Plan.

 

A copy of the Annual Bonus Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference to this Form 8-K.
