Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares reserved under the 2003 First Advantage Incentive Compensation Plan to ensure sufficient capacity for these new grants.
- Confirm the specific selection made by each NEO between stock options and restricted stock/units, as the filing lists alternatives rather than final selections.
- Review the full text of the 2006 LTIP summary (Exhibit 10.1) for specific performance metrics or conditions attached to the "points" system.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual grant date execution on February 20, 2006, and any associated dilution impact.
