The stock options have an exercise price of $3.40 per share, the closing price of Sonder’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq on November 27, 2023, the grant date. The stock options have a ten-year term and vest over four years, with 25% of the shares subject to the award vesting on the first anniversary of the applicable employee’s date of hire, and an additional 1/48th of the shares subject to the award vesting monthly thereafter, subject to the employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates (subject to the terms and conditions of the Inducement Plan and the option award agreement covering the grant).
