Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play mobile games, announced that on April 11, 2017, its Compensation Committee awarded the following equity awards, in the aggregate, to 11 newly hired employees: (1) restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 161,600 shares of Glu’s common stock and (2) stock option awards to purchase an aggregate of 227,400 shares of Glu’s common stock, each pursuant to Glu’s 2008 Equity Inducement Plan.

Each of the restricted stock unit awards vests on a four-year schedule – 25% of the underlying shares will vest on May 15, 2018, with the remaining 75% of the underlying shares vesting in equal quarterly installments over the next three years on the same day of each third month (e.g., the next quarterly vesting date will be August 15, 2018, then November 15, 2018, etc.). The stock options have ten-year terms, vest on a four-year schedule (25% of the underlying shares will vest on the first anniversary of the applicable employee’s start date with Glu, and 2.083% of the underlying shares will vest monthly thereafter), and have a per share exercise price equal to $2.29, which was the closing price of Glu’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the April 11, 2017 grant date.

Glu’s Compensation Committee adopted the 2008 Equity Inducement Plan, which is a non-stockholder approved plan, to facilitate the granting of equity awards as an inducement material to new employees joining Glu. NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) requires a public announcement of equity awards made under this type of plan.
