ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
After determining that it was desirable and in the best interests of Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (the “Company”) for Steve Okland to relocate from Colorado closer to the Company’s headquarters, the Company’s Compensation Committee, effective April 14, 2017, approved a one-time relocation incentive for Steve Okland, the Company’s Commercial Vice President, U.S. and Canada, of $50,419.75 plus actual moving costs estimated at $20,000 to cover his relocating and establishing a permanent residence in the Los Angeles area. In the event that Mr. Okland voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company or is terminated for cause within 12 months of receiving the relocation incentive, he will be obligated to repay the entire relocation incentive to the Company. In the event Mr. Okland voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause after initial anniversary of the relocation incentive grant but before the second anniversary, he will be obligated to repay 50% of the relocation incentive to the Company. The Offer Letter executed by the parties, filed with the Commission on March 26, 2016 as Exhibit 10.1 to Form 8-K, contemplated that in the event relocation was deemed necessary a relocation package would be provided to Mr. Okland with terms to be agreed by both parties.
