On December 9, 2024, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Innventure, Inc. (the “Company”) met and approved the grant of equity compensation awards (the “Equity Awards”), including awards to the Company’s principal financial officer and certain of the Company’s named executive officers (the “NEOs”).
 
The Equity Awards provide participants with an opportunity to earn or vest in equity-based awards under the Company’s 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Committee approved the following equity-based awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock option grants (“Stock Options”), each with a grant date of December 9, 2024:

For Mr. Yablunosky, the RSUs will generally vest in three equal installments following the grant date, starting on May 1, 2025, and annually thereafter, subject to his continuous service to the Company through the applicable vesting date.  For Mr. Otworth and Dr. Scott, the RSUs will generally vest on October 2, 2025 or, if earlier, on the same date that the lock-up set forth in the contractual lock-up agreement entered into by each of them on October 24, 2023 (the “Contractual Lock-Up”) terminates pursuant to its terms, in each case subject to their continuous service to the Company through the applicable vesting date.
 
For Mr. Yablunosky, the Stock Options will generally vest and become exercisable with respect to (i) 25% of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), underlying the Stock Options on May 1, 2025 and (ii) 75% of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock Options in eight substantially equal installments on each three-month anniversary thereafter, subject to his continuous service to the Company through the applicable vesting date.  For Mr. Otworth and Dr. Scott, the Stock Options will generally vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock Options on October 2, 2025 or, if earlier, on the same date that the Contractual Lock-Up terminates pursuant to its terms, in each case subject to their continuous service to the Company through the applicable vesting date.  The Stock Options have an exercise price of $12.20, the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date.
