Employment Agreements; Termination / Change in Control Arrangements

We have entered into employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers. Below is a description of the material terms of each agreement, including severance provisions.

Employment Agreement with Steven Humphreys

On September 14, 2015, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Steven Humphreys pursuant to which Mr. Humphreys serves as our Chief Executive Officer and a director. As of the date of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Humphreys continued to serve as a director, but ceased serving as the Chairman of the Board and serving on the Audit and Nominating Committees and receives no additional compensation for his service on the Board. Under the terms of his executive employment agreement, Mr. Humphreys receives an annual base salary of $350,000, with a target annual performance bonus of 100% of his base salary. As an employee, Mr. Humphreys is also eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefits plans. Additionally, Mr. Humphreys was granted an option to purchase 444,460 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.36 per share (the “Option”), the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 9, 2015, under the 2011 Plan. The Option vested as to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and then monthly over the following three years. In addition, the Board agreed to grant Mr. Humphreys a restricted stock unit award for 302,657 shares of the Company’s common stock vesting over four years from September 9, 2015.

On August 5, 2019, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Humphreys’ compensation and approved the following: (i) in the event that a change of control (as defined in his employment agreement) occurs within four years (i.e., on or prior to August 5, 2023) and Mr. Humphreys continues to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of the effective time of the change of control, the Company will grant Mr. Humphreys 365,000 restricted stock units, subject to and only vesting effective upon the consummation of the change of control, and (ii) beginning July 1, 2019, any quarterly performance-based bonuses earned by Mr. Humphreys will be paid in fully vested stock in lieu of cash, to the extent earned, as determined in accordance with the terms of Mr. Humphreys employment agreement.

On January 28, 2020, the Company and Mr. Humphreys agreed that effective as of February 1, 2020, the Company will pay Mr. Humphreys’ base salary in the form of fully vested common stock of the Company (based on a 30-day trading average prior to issuance), except that his salary will be paid in cash solely to the extent needed for withholding amounts required for taxes and other involuntary and voluntary payroll deductions.

Pursuant to his executive employment agreement, Mr. Humphreys may become entitled to severance benefits. If he is terminated without cause or is constructively terminated (as each term is defined in such agreement), subject to his execution of an enforceable release of claims, he is entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary, (ii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for continuation of Company-sponsored group health plan coverage for 12 months, and (iii) 12 months of accelerated service-based vesting in his then-outstanding equity awards. However, in addition to these severance benefits, in the event Mr. Humphreys is terminated without cause or is constructively terminated within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, he is entitled to full acceleration of his equity awards with time-based vesting. Also pursuant to his employment agreement, in the event of his death or disability while an employee of the Company, Mr. Humphreys is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his base salary.

Employment Agreement with Sandra Wallach

On January 19, 2017, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Sandra Wallach, which agreement provides Ms. Wallach a $265,000 annual base salary. Additionally, Ms. Wallach was granted a restricted stock unit award covering 90,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan, which award vests with respect to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of Ms. Wallach’s start date with the Company and then with respect to the remaining shares on a quarterly basis over the following three years. Pursuant to her executive employment agreement, Ms. Wallach is also entitled to severance benefits. If she is terminated without cause (as such term is defined in such agreement), she is entitled to three months of her then-current base salary and reimbursement of three months of health care continuation coverage premiums, subject to her having provided the Company a general release of claims.

On November 4, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved the following changes to Ms. Wallach’s compensation, effective as of October 1, 2019: (i) an increase in annual base salary from $275,000 to $300,000; and (ii) an increase in target annual variable compensation from $25,000 to $50,000, of which 50% will be payable in cash and 50% payable in fully vested restricted stock units.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

The information below describes the estimated value of certain compensation and benefits that would potentially have become payable under contractual arrangements with our Named Executive Officers assuming a termination of employment or change in control of the Company had occurred on December 31, 2020, based upon the Named Executive Officers’ compensation and service levels as of such date and, where applicable, the $8.50 closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2020. The information presented represents estimates of incremental amounts that would become payable had a trigging event occurred on December 31, 2020 and does not include amounts that were earned and payable as of that date regardless of the occurrence of a triggering event.

If Mr. Humphreys had either been terminated by the Company without cause or by constructive termination (each as defined in his employment agreement) as of December 31, 2020, he would have become entitled to receive (i) $350,000, representing 12 months’ salary and (ii) reimbursement of health care coverage for a period of 12 months, having a value of approximately $21,671. In the event that a change of control (as defined in Mr. Humphreys’ employment agreement) had occurred on December 31, 2020, and Mr. Humphreys continued to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of the effective time of the change of control, Mr. Humphreys would have become entitled to receive 365,000 restricted stock units, subject to and only vesting effective upon the consummation of the change of control. In addition, if on December 31, 2020 and within 12 months of a change in control, Mr. Humphreys had either been terminated by the Company without cause or by constructive termination (each as defined in his employment agreement) as of December 31, 2020, he would have become entitled to receive (i) $350,000, representing 12 months’ salary and (ii) reimbursement of health care coverage for a period of 12 months, having a value of approximately $21,671. Mr. Humphreys’ entitlement to such benefits would be conditioned upon his execution and nonrevocation of a general release in a form determined by the Company. In addition, Mr. Humphreys may be subject to a Section 280G cutback. Had Mr. Humphreys’ employment terminated as of December 31, 2020 for reasons of death or disability (as defined in his employment agreement), he (or his estate as applicable) would have become entitled to $350,000, representing 12 months’ salary, not conditioned on a general release.

If Ms. Wallach had been terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in her executive employment agreement) as of December 31, 2020, she would have become entitled to $75,000, representing 3 months’ salary. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan, had a change in control occurred on December 31, 2020, all then-outstanding equity awards granted to Ms. Wallach would have become fully vested and exercisable unless such awards were assumed or substituted. If Ms. Wallach’s outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan were not assumed or substituted on a change in control, Ms. Wallach would have become entitled to accelerated vesting of 100% of her outstanding equity awards, having an intrinsic value of approximately $324,063.

Compensation of Directors

During 2020, each non-employee member of our Board of Directors was eligible to receive annual compensation, payable quarterly, as detailed below. Annual compensation for each eligible non-employee director potentially includes the following:

For the board years beginning June 1, 2019 and ending May 31, 2020 and beginning June 1, 2020 and ending May 31, 2021:

•

an annual retainer per board year of $125,000, except for the Chairman of the Board or Lead Independent Director, who is eligible to receive an annual retainer of $175,000; and

•

an additional annual retainer per board year of $5,000 for service on each committee of the Board of Directors, and in addition the chair of the Audit Committee is eligible to receive an additional retainer of $20,000, and the chair of each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee is eligible to receive an additional retainer of $10,000 for each board year, respectively.

Until February 1, 2020, a minimum of 50% of the annual compensation for each non-employee director was required to be paid in RSUs under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Those RSUs granted to non-employee directors for the board years ending May 31, 2016 and after vested monthly over 12 months beginning on June 1, and vested shares will be delivered on the earlier of three years from the award’s vesting start date or the date of separation of service. Effective as of February 1, 2020, until otherwise determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, non-employee directors receive their annual retainer for service on the Board of Directors and committees thereof solely in the form of fully vested RSUs (based on a 30-day trading average prior to issuance).

Additionally, we reimburse our non-employee directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors, which primarily consist of travel expenses associated with Board of Directors or committee meetings or with committee assignments.

Directors who are our employees do not receive additional compensation for their service on the Board of Directors. During 2020, Mr. Humphreys was our only employee director.

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the compensation earned by our non-employee directors for their service as directors in 2020:

The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, rather than amounts paid to or realized by the named individual. The assumptions used in determining grant date fair value of these awards are set forth in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the Original Report. There can be no assurance that the price of our common stock when RSUs vest and settle will equal or exceed the price of our common stock on the date of the applicable RSU award.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The table below sets forth information known to us as of March 1, 2021 with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by:

•

each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our issued and outstanding common stock;

•

each of our directors;

•

each of our Named Executive Officers; and

•

all current directors and executive officers, as a group.

Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares held by them. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on 18,154,102 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 1, 2021.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 1, 2021, RSUs that vest within 60 days of March 1, 2021 or shares of convertible preferred stock that are convertible into common stock within 60 days of March 1, 2021 are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless specified below, the mailing address for each individual, officer or director is c/o Identiv, Inc., 2201 Walnut Avenue, Suite 100, Fremont, CA 94538.

In accordance with the terms of warrants to purchase common stock and the Stockholder Agreement with the Company, exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") are subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the warrants and the Stockholder Agreement) of 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion. Because of this limitation, the number of shares listed in the table above represent 19.999% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of March 1, 2021. Based on Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021, by Bleichroeder LP (“Bleichroeder”), an investment advisor registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, if there was no Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the exercise of warrants and conversion of the Preferred Stock, Bleichroeder would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,213,577 shares of common stock. 21 April Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company for which Bleichroeder acts as investment advisor, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,561,404 of shares of common stock. April Fund Ltd. also holds 4,571,663 shares of Preferred Stock and 192,500 warrants to purchase common stock. 21 April Fund Ltd. holds additional warrants and Preferred Stock above the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which would make 21 April Fund Ltd.'s total beneficial ownership 6,325,567 shares if there was no Beneficial Ownership Limitation. 21 April Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership for which Bleichroeder acts as investment adviser, may be deemed to beneficially own 439,985 shares of common stock, 1,170,524 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 82,500 shares of common stock. Clients of Bleichroeder have the right to receive and the ultimate power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, such securities.

These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
