Insights

Transformative merger creates a new AI/HPC infrastructure public company with significant equity-based incentives and governance reset.

The combination of Signing Day Sports and One Blockchain LLC under Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, Inc. creates a listed AI and high‑performance computing infrastructure platform. One Blockchain holders receive 33,225,888 shares, far larger than the 3,198,511 shares issued to Signing Day Sports holders, effectively shifting control to the infrastructure business.

The structure includes up to 3,863,460 earnout shares tied to $25 million of 2026 EBITDA, plus up to 140,126 additional advisory shares for Maxim Group. These provisions heavily link upside for legacy One Blockchain stakeholders and advisors to future profitability, while a 70.1% lock‑up for six months, with a trading‑price release trigger at $9.375, moderates near‑term selling pressure.

Governance changes are extensive: authorization of 1,000,000,000 common and 100,000,000 preferred shares, a classified board, Delaware forum selection, and a 7,526,299‑share equity incentive plan. New audit, compensation, and nominating committees, a clawback policy, and an insider trading policy align the company with NYSE American and Exchange Act practices, framing future disclosures as the key source for understanding financial performance.

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Signing Day Sports with the SEC on March 13, 2026, Signing Day Sports held a special meeting of stockholders on March 13, 2026 (the “Special Meeting”), at which Signing Day Sports stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Business Combination Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements described in the proxy statement/prospectus.

 

On the Closing Date, (i) Signing Day Sports effected the Signing Day Sports Merger by filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and (ii) One Blockchain effected the One Blockchain Merger by filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLC Act”), with each of the mergers being consummated and effective simultaneously as of March 16, 2026.

Effect of the Business Combination on Existing Signing Day Sports Equity

 

As a result of the Signing Day Sports Merger, each outstanding share of Signing Day Sports common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Signing Day Sports common stock”), was exchanged for the right to receive 0.09334 of one (1) registered common share, $0.0001 par value per share, of BlockchAIn (“BlockchAIn common shares” or “BlockchAIn common stock”), except that if the exchange would otherwise result in a fractional BlockchAIn common share being issuable to a Signing Day Sports stockholder, the number of BlockchAIn common shares issuable to such stockholder was rounded up to the nearest whole share with respect to that BlockchAIn common share (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, each outstanding option to purchase Signing Day Sports common stock or outstanding warrant to purchase Signing Day Sports common stock that had not previously been exercised prior to the Closing was converted into an option or warrant, as applicable, to purchase a number of BlockchAIn common shares equal to the number of shares of Signing Day Sports common stock subject to such option or warrant immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with the per share exercise price divided by the Exchange Ratio, and each option immediately became fully vested.

Merger Consideration

 

As a result of the One Blockchain Merger, the membership interests of One Blockchain (“One Blockchain membership interests”) outstanding prior to the One Blockchain Merger were automatically cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive the number of BlockchAIn common shares equal to (a) the product of (i) the number of fully-diluted shares of Signing Day Sports common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, not including certain out-of-the-money derivative securities (“SGN Outstanding Shares”), multiplied by (ii) 1/0.085, and multiplied by (iii) the Exchange Ratio, minus (b) the product of (i) the SGN Outstanding Shares multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (the “One Blockchain Merger Consideration”).

 

In connection with the Business Combination, Signing Day Sports Stockholders received 3,198,511 BlockchAIn common shares (subject to further rounding adjustments) and the securityholders of One Blockchain received 33,225,888 BlockchAIn common shares.

 

Earnout Shares

 

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the issuance of earnout shares (the “Earnout Shares”) to the members, as of immediately prior to the Closing, of One Blockchain (collectively, the “One Blockchain Securityholders”), consisting of BlockchAIn common shares, if the 2026 EBITDA equals or exceeds $25 million. The Earnout Shares will equal 11.628% of the One Blockchain Merger Consideration. One Blockchain Securityholders may receive up to 3,863,460 additional BlockchAIn common shares, respectively, if the Earnout Shares are issued. If the conditions for the issuance of the Earnout Shares are met, the Earnout Shares will be issued within ten calendar days following the date on which BlockchAIn files its annual report for its 2026 fiscal year with the SEC.

 

Advisory Shares

 

BlockchAIn issued to Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim Group”), as the financial advisor to One Blockchain (as the agreed consideration for advisory services provided to One Blockchain) and the designee of Maxim Partners LLC (“Maxim Partners”), at the Closing 1,204,669 BlockchAIn common shares equal to 3.5% of the total transaction enterprise value, in accordance with the obligations of One Blockchain under the Advisory Agreement. At such time the Earnout Shares, if any, are issued, a number of BlockchAIn common shares equal to 3.5% of the Earnout Shares will be issued at such time. Maxim Group may receive up to 140,126 additional BlockchAIn common shares if the Earnout Shares are issued. The number of BlockchAIn common shares issued to Maxim Group at the Closing, and if applicable, in connection with the Earnout Shares, will reduce only the equity ownership otherwise allocable to the holders of One Blockchain membership interests

This Report, including the exhibits to this Report, and the statements contained therein include “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,” “continue,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of today’s date and are not guarantees of the future performance of the Company, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed. The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation, the parties’ ability to integrate their respective businesses into a combined publicly listed company post-merger, the parties’ ability to obtain sufficient funding to maintain operations and develop additional services and offerings, market acceptance of the parties’ current products and services and planned offerings, competition from existing or new offerings that may emerge, impacts from strategic changes to the parties’ business on net sales, revenues, income from continuing operations, or other results of operations, the parties’ ability to attract new users and customers, the parties’ ability to retain or obtain intellectual property rights, the parties’ ability to adequately support future growth, the parties’ ability to comply with user data privacy laws and other current or anticipated legal requirements, and the parties’ ability to attract and retain key personnel to manage their business effectively. These risks, uncertainties and other factors are described more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors” of the Registration Statement and in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below) that was publicly filed with the SEC relating to the recently completed business combination with Signing Day Sports, Inc. These risks, uncertainties and other factors are, in some cases, beyond the parties’ control and could materially affect results. If one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors become applicable, or if these underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning BlockchAIn, or any of their affiliates, or other matters and attributable to BlockchAIn, any of their affiliates, or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

At least one member of the Committee shall have past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities, and shall qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE American’s listing standards. Each member shall be free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with his or her individual exercise of independent judgment. No member of the Committee can have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years. Applicable laws and regulations shall be followed in evaluating a member’s independence.

 

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board. The members of the Committee must elect a chairperson (the “Chairperson”) of the Committee from among their number. The Board may remove any member from the Committee at any time, with or without cause. A Committee member may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Chairperson of the Board, or may be removed by majority vote of the Board by delivery to such member of written notice of removal, to take effect at a date specified therein, or upon delivery of such written notice to such member if no date is specified. The members of the Committee shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualified.

Exhibit 99.5

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
CLAWBACK POLICY

 

Effective as of March 16, 2026

 

1.OVERVIEW

 

In accordance with the applicable rules set forth in the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the NYSE Rules”), Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (“Rule 10D-1”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Policy (the “Policy”) to provide for the recovery of erroneously awarded Incentive-based Compensation from Officers. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section H, below.

 

2.RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION

 

(a) In the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Company will reasonably promptly recover the Erroneously Awarded Compensation Received in accordance with NYSE Rules and Rule 10D-1 as follows:

 

(i)After an Accounting Restatement, the Compensation Committee (if composed entirely of independent directors, or in the absence of such a committee, a majority of independent directors serving on the Board) (the “Committee) shall determine the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation Received by each Officer and shall promptly notify each Officer with a written notice containing the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation and a demand for repayment or return of such compensation, as applicable. For Incentive-based Compensation based on (or derived from) the Company’s stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement:

 

(1)The amount to be repaid or returned shall be determined by the Committee based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the Company’s stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-based Compensation was Received; and

 

(2)The Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of such reasonable estimate and provide the relevant documentation as required to the NYSE.

 

(ii)The Committee shall have discretion to determine the appropriate means of recovering Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on the particular facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section B(2) below, in no event may the Company accept an amount that is less than the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in satisfaction of an Officer’s obligations hereunder.

 

 

(iii)To the extent that the Officer has already reimbursed the Company for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation Received under any duplicative recovery obligations established by the Company or applicable law, it shall be appropriate for any such reimbursed amount to be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is subject to recovery under this Policy.

 

(iv)To the extent that an Officer fails to repay all Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company when due, the Company shall take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation from the applicable Officer. The applicable Officer shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering such Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to take the actions contemplated by Section B(1) above if the Committee (which, as specified above, is composed entirely of independent directors or in the absence of such a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board) determines that recovery would be impracticable and either of the following conditions are met:

 

(i)The Committee has determined that the direct expenses to be paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before making this determination, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document such attempt(s) and provide such documentation to the NYSE American; or

 

(ii)Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(13) or Section 411(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder.

 

3.DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

 

The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy required by applicable filings and rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

4.PROHIBITION OF INDEMNIFICATION

 

The Company shall not be permitted to insure or indemnify any Officer against (i) the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy, or (ii) any claims relating to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under this Policy. Further, the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-based Compensation that is granted, paid or awarded to an Officer from the application of this Policy or that waives the Company’s right to recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date of this Policy).

 

5.ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION

 

This Policy shall be administered by the Committee, and any determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.

 

The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy and for the Company’s compliance with NYSE American Rules, Section 10D, Rule 10D-1 and any other applicable law, regulation, rule or interpretation of the SEC or NYSE American promulgated or issued in connection therewith.

 

2

 

6.AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

 

The Committee may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary. Notwithstanding anything in this Section F to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, SEC rules or NYSE rules.

 

7.OTHER RECOVERY RIGHTS

 

This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Officers and, to the extent required by applicable law or guidance from the SEC or NYSE American, their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives. The Committee intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent required by applicable law. Any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan or any other agreement or arrangement with an Officer shall be deemed to include, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, an agreement by the Officer to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recovery under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any policy of the Company or any provision in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan, agreement or other arrangement.

Exhibit 99.6

 

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

 

Background and Objective

 

The Board of Directors of Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Insider Trading Policy (this “Policy”) for our directors, officers, employees and consultants. It applies to the trading of the Company’s securities as well as the securities of other publicly traded companies with whom we have a business relationship.

 

Federal and state securities laws prohibit the purchase or sale of a company’s securities by persons who are aware of material information about that company that is not generally known or available to the public. Likewise, these laws prohibit persons who are aware of such material nonpublic information from disclosing this information to others who may trade. Companies and their controlling persons are also subject to liability if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel.

 

It is important that you understand the breadth of activities that constitute illegal insider trading and the consequences, which can be severe. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, stock exchanges and similar entities in other jurisdictions where we may do business, investigate and are very effective at detecting insider trading. These agencies, along with government prosecutors, pursue insider trading violations vigorously. Cases have been prosecuted successfully against trading by employees through foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends, and trading involving only a small number of shares.

 

This Policy is designed to prevent insider trading (or allegations of insider trading) and to protect the Company’s reputation for integrity and ethical conduct. It is your obligation to understand and comply with this Policy. Should you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact the Chief Financial Officer or such person’s designee if that officer is not available, collectively referred to in this Policy as the “Compliance Officer.”

 

Penalties for Noncompliance

 

Civil and Criminal Penalties. For individuals, potential penalties for insider trading violations include: (1) imprisonment for up to 20 years; (2) criminal fines of up to $5 million; and (3) civil fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided.

 

Controlling-Person Liability. If the Company fails to take appropriate steps to prevent illegal insider trading, the Company may have “controlling person” liability for a trading violation, with civil penalties of up to the greater of $1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided, as well as a criminal penalty of up to $25 million. The civil penalties can extend personal liability to the Company’s directors, officers and other supervisory personnel if they fail to take appropriate steps to prevent insider trading.

 

Company Sanctions. Failure to comply with this Policy may also subject you to Company-imposed sanctions, including termination, whether or not your failure to comply with this Policy results in a violation of law.

 

 

Scope of Policy

 

Persons Covered. As a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries, this Policy applies to you. The same restrictions that apply to you also apply to:

 

Your family members who reside with you;

 

Anyone else who lives in your household; and

 

Any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control (such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in Company securities).

 

You are responsible for making sure that the purchase or sale of any security covered by this Policy by any such person complies with this Policy.

 

Companies Covered. The prohibition on insider trading in this Policy is not limited to trading in the Company’s own securities. It includes trading in the securities of other firms, such as business associates or suppliers of the Company and those with which the Company may be negotiating major transactions or contractual relationships, such as an acquisition, investment, license or sale. Information that is not material to the Company may nevertheless be material to one of those other firms.

 

Transactions Covered. Trading includes purchases and sales of stock, derivative securities such as put and call options, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock, and debt securities (debentures, bonds and notes).

 

Transactions not Covered. This Policy does not apply to the transactions described below as permitted under “Transactions under Our Equity Compensation Plans,” “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale” and “Rule 10b5-1 Plans.”

 

Statement of Policy

 

No Trading on Inside Information. You may not trade in the securities of the Company, directly or through family members or other persons or entities, if you are aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company. Similarly, you may not trade in the securities of any other company if you are aware of material nonpublic information about the other company that you obtained in the course of your employment with, or services for, the Company.

 

No Tipping. You may not pass material nonpublic information on to others or recommend to others the purchase or sale of any securities when you are aware of such information. This practice, known as “tipping,” also violates the securities laws and can result in the same civil and criminal penalties that apply to insider trading, even though you did not trade and did not gain any benefit from the other person’s trading.

 

No Exception for Hardship. The existence of a personal financial emergency or hardship does not excuse you from compliance with this Policy.

 

2

 

No Exception for Transactions Not Intended to be Based on Inside Information. It does not matter that you may have decided to engage in a transaction before becoming aware of material nonpublic information or that the material nonpublic information did not affect your decision to engage in the transaction. It is also irrelevant that publicly disclosed information about the Company might, even aside from the material nonpublic information, provide a sufficient basis for engaging in the transaction. In other words, your possession of inside information prevents you from engaging in a transaction, even if you would have engaged in such transaction without such inside information.

 

Blackout and Pre-Clearance Procedures

 

To help prevent inadvertent violations of the federal securities laws and to avoid even the appearance of trading on the basis of inside information, our Board of Directors has adopted an Addendum to this Policy setting forth policies prohibiting trading during certain “blackout periods” and requiring the pre-clearance of transactions, that applies to the following individuals:

 

Directors of the Company;

 

Executive officers and any person performing the function of an executive officer of the Company;

 

Any other person identified in the Addendum or that is designated by the Compliance Officer from time to time; and

 

Any spouse or relative of any of the above who resides in the same home or whose transactions in Company securities are directed by any of the above individuals or are subject to influence or control by any of the above individuals.

 

The Company will notify you if you are subject to the blackout periods and pre-clearance policies set forth in the Addendum.

 

Definition of “Material Nonpublic Information”

 

Inside information has two important elements—materiality and public availability.

 

Material Information. Information is material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding whether to buy, hold or sell a security. Any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of the security is material. Common examples of material information are:

 

Projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;

 

Earnings or operating results that are inconsistent with the consensus expectations of the investment community;

 

A pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer or an acquisition or disposition of significant assets;

 

A change in senior management;

 

3

 

Major events regarding the Company’s securities, including the declaration of a forward or reverse stock split or the offering of additional securities;

 

Severe financial liquidity problems;

 

Actual or threatened major litigation, or the resolution of such litigation;

 

The acquisition or license of products;

 

New major contracts, orders, suppliers, customers, partners or finance sources, or the loss thereof; and

 

The introduction or a change in status of significant new products.

 

Both positive and negative information can be material. Because trading that receives scrutiny will be evaluated after the fact with the benefit of hindsight, questions concerning the materiality of particular information should be resolved in favor of materiality. In other words, in case of doubt, trading should be avoided.

 

Nonpublic Information. Nonpublic information is information that is not generally known or available to the public. One common misconception is that material information loses its “nonpublic” status as soon as it is publicly disclosed. In fact, information is considered to be available to the public only when it has been released broadly to the marketplace (such as by a press release or an SEC filing) and the investing public has had time to absorb the information fully. As a general rule, the Company continues to consider information nonpublic until the close of the first full trading day after the information is released. For example, if the Company discloses earnings before trading begins on a Tuesday, then the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Wednesday (assuming you are not aware of other material nonpublic information at that time). However, if the Company discloses earnings after trading begins on that Tuesday, then the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Thursday.

 

Additional Guidance Regarding Trading of Securities

 

The Company considers it improper for those who are employed by, or associated with, the Company to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities or in other transactions in the Company’s securities that may lead to inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws. Accordingly, your trading in Company securities is subject to the following additional guidelines:

 

Short Sales. You may not engage in short sales of the Company’s securities (sales of securities that you do not own, i.e., borrowed securities). You also may not engage in short sales “against the box” (sales of securities that you own, but with delayed delivery).

 

Publicly Traded Options. You may not engage in transactions in publicly traded options on the Company’s securities, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market.

 

4

 

Hedging. You may not engage in hedging transactions, including, but not limited to, zero-cost collars, forward sale contracts and many others, which involve the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities and limit or eliminate your ability to profit from an increase in the value of the Company’s securities. Such transactions are complex and involve many aspects of the federal securities laws, including filing and disclosure requirements.

 

Standing or Limit Orders. Standing or limit orders should be used only for a very brief period of time, if at all. A standing order placed with a broker to sell or purchase Company stock at a specified minimum or maximum price leaves you with no control over the timing of the transaction. The limit order could be executed by the broker when you are aware of material nonpublic information, which would result in unlawful insider trading.

 

Margin Accounts and Pledges. Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold without your consent by the broker if you fail to meet a margin call or by the lender in foreclosure if you default on the loan. A margin or foreclosure sale that occurs when you are aware of material nonpublic information may, under some circumstances, result in unlawful insider trading. Because of this danger, you may not hold securities in a margin account or pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan.

 

Transactions Under Our Equity Compensation Plans

 

This Policy does not apply to transactions under our equity compensation plans, except as noted below:

 

Stock Option Exercises. This Policy’s trading restrictions generally do not apply to the exercise of a stock option. The trading restrictions do apply, however, to any sale of the underlying stock or to a cashless exercise of the option through a broker, as this entails selling a portion of the underlying stock to cover the costs of exercise.

 

Vesting of Awards. This Policy’s trading restrictions do not apply to the vesting of stock options, restricted stock or stock units, or the exercise of a right to have shares withheld to satisfy the tax withholding consequences of vesting. The Policy would apply to market sales of any shares received, including sales to cover the tax consequences of vesting.

 

Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale

 

Bona fide gifts of securities are not subject to this Policy unless the person making the gift has reason to believe that the recipient intends to sell the securities at a time when the person making the gift (or a family member or other related person or entity) would be prohibited from doing so. If you own shares of a mutual fund that invests in our securities, there are no restrictions on trading the shares of the mutual fund at any time.

 

Rule 10b5-1 Plans

 

Trades by covered persons in the Company’s securities that are executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan implemented as described below are not subject to the prohibition on trading on the basis of material nonpublic information contained in this Policy or to the restrictions relating to pre-clearance procedures and blackout periods set forth in this Policy.

 

Rule 10b5-1 provides an affirmative defense from insider trading liability under the federal securities laws for trading plans that meet certain requirements. In general, a Rule10b5-1 plan must be entered into at a time when you are not aware of material nonpublic information. If you are subject to the blackout provisions of the Addendum, you may not establish a Rule 10b5-1 plan during any blackout period. Once the plan is adopted, you must not exercise any influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to be traded or the date of the trade. The plan must either specify (including by formula) the amount, pricing and timing of transactions in advance, or delegate discretion on those matters to an independent third party not under your control or influence.

 

5

 

The Company requires that all Rule 10b5-1 plans be approved in writing in advance by the Compliance Officer. In addition, unless expressly agreed by the Company, all Rule 10b5-1 plans must be with, and administered by, a singular broker designated by the Company

 

Post-Termination Transactions

 

This Policy continues to apply to your transactions in Company securities even after you have separated from service with the Company or a subsidiary. If you are aware of material nonpublic information when your employment or service relationship terminates, you may not trade in Company securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.

 

Unauthorized Disclosure

 

Maintaining the confidentiality of Company information is essential for competitive, security and other business reasons, as well as to comply with securities laws. You should treat all information you learn about the Company or its business plans in connection with your service as confidential and proprietary to the Company. Company employees and representatives should treat all corporate information with discretion and discuss confidential data only with those Company employees and representatives who have a right and a need to know. In particular, do not discuss confidential information with relatives, friends or acquaintances. Inadvertent disclosure of confidential or inside information may expose the Company and you to significant risk of investigation and litigation.

 

The timing and nature of the Company’s disclosure of material information to outsiders is subject to legal rules, the breach of which could result in substantial liability to you, the Company and its management. Accordingly, it is important that responses to inquiries about the Company by the press, investment analysts or others in the financial community be made on the Company’s behalf only through authorized individuals. Please consult the Company’s Regulation FD Compliance Policy for more details regarding the Company’s policy on speaking to the media, financial analysts and investors.

 

In addition, you are prohibited at all times from posting any information about the Company, its products, its customers, its potential customers, its business associates, or its competitors, as well as any other “material” nonpublic information, in any Internet discussion group or social media site or outlet.

 

Personal Responsibility

 

You should remember that the ultimate responsibility for adhering to this Policy and avoiding improper trading rests with you. If you violate this Policy, the Company may take disciplinary action, including dismissal.

 

Company Assistance

 

Your compliance with this Policy is of the utmost importance both for you and for the Company. If you have any questions about this Policy or its application to any proposed transaction, you may obtain additional guidance from the Compliance Officer. Please do not try to resolve uncertainties on your own, as the rules relating to insider trading are often complex and not always intuitive while violations entail severe consequences.

ADDENDUM TO INSIDER TRADING POLICY

 

We have established additional procedures to assist in the administration of this Policy, to facilitate compliance with laws prohibiting insider trading while in possession of material nonpublic information, and to avoid the appearance of any impropriety. These additional procedures are applicable only to those individuals that are identified in the Policy or are designated by the Compliance Officer from time to time as described below.

 

Pre-Clearance Procedures. Directors and executive officers subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and employees or other personnel designated by the Compliance Officer as deemed likely to be in possession of material nonpublic information, as well as their family members who reside in the same home and entities that they control (collectively, “Covered Persons”), may not engage in any transaction in our securities without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from the Compliance Officer. A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Compliance Officer at least two (2) business days in advance of the proposed transaction. The Compliance Officer is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance, and may determine not to permit the transaction. If a person seeks pre-clearance and permission to engage in the transaction is denied, then he or she should refrain from initiating any transaction in our securities, and should not inform any other person of the restriction.

 

When a request for pre-clearance is made, the requestor should carefully consider whether he or she may be aware of any material nonpublic information, and should describe fully those circumstances to the Compliance Officer. The requestor should be prepared to file a Form 4 for the proposed transaction (if applicable) and to comply with SEC Rule 144 and file Form 144, if necessary, at the time of any sale. We assist our directors and executive officers in completing and filing the appropriate forms and advance notice of the transactions allows us to complete these filings on a timely basis.

 

Quarterly Trading Restrictions. Covered Persons may not conduct any transactions involving our securities (other than as specified by this Policy), during a “Blackout Period” beginning on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter and ending after the first business day following the date of the public disclosure of our earnings results for that quarter. This Blackout Period applies even if you are not aware of material, nonpublic information at that time. Further, even if a Blackout Period is not in effect, at no time may you trade in Company securities if you are aware of material nonpublic information about the Company.

 

Event-Specific Trading Restriction Periods. From time to time, an event may occur that is material to Company and is known by only a limited group of directors, officers, employees and/or other Company representatives. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, Covered Persons may not trade Company securities. In addition, our financial results may be sufficiently material in a particular fiscal quarter that, in the judgment of the Compliance Officer, Covered Persons should refrain from trading in our securities even sooner than the typical Blackout Period described above. In that situation, the Compliance Officer may notify these persons that they should not plan to trade in our securities until further advised by the Compliance Officer, without disclosing the reason for the restriction. The existence of an event-specific trading restriction period or extension of a Blackout Period will not be communicated widely within the Company, and should not be communicated to any other person.

 

Exceptions. The quarterly trading restrictions and event-driven trading restrictions do not apply to those transactions to which the Policy does not apply, as described in the Policy under the headings “Transactions under Our Equity Compensation Plans” and “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale.” Further, the requirement for pre-clearance, the quarterly trading restrictions and event-specific trading restrictions do not apply to transactions conducted pursuant to approved Rule 10b5-1 plans, described under the heading “Rule 10b5-1 Plans.” However, the establishment of a Rule 10b5-1 plan by a Covered Person does require pre-clearance and may not occur during any Blackout Period or event-specific trading restriction period.
