Material Changes and Agreement Details
On November 18, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement dated August 27, 2007, with ZelnickMedia Corporation. Key details include:
- Underlying Options: 2,009,075 shares of common stock issued in August 2007.
- Exercise Price: $14.74 per share.
- Terms: Options vest over 36 months and expire 10 years from the grant date. All options are currently outstanding.
