Out of 4 new, non-executive employees, the Compensation Committee granted a performance-based restricted stock unit award (the “PSU Award”) to 1 of them covering 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Inducement Award Plan.

The restricted stock unit awards will each vest (subject to the employee’s continued service to Energy Vault) as to 25% of the shares of common stock subject to the award, on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and as to 6.25% of the shares of common stock subject to the award, upon the employee’s completion of each three-month period of continuous service thereafter. The PSU Award will vest (subject to the employee’s continued service) if Energy Vault’s stock price reaches certain price targets ($3.50 as to one-third of the PSU Award, $4.50 as to one-third of the PSU Award and $5.50 as to one-third of the PSU Award) within four years after the grant date.
