The compensation committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”) has recently undertaken a thorough review of the Company’s executive compensation programs, including salary, cash bonus, and equity-based incentive compensation. After completing this review, on January 14, 2019, the Committee approved equity awards for the Company’s executive officers reflecting a revised approach for annual grants of equity compensation (the “2019 Grants”). Beginning with the 2019 Grants, the Committee intends to provide for annual grants of equity compensation comprising a combination of service-based restricted stock units, which will vest over time, and performance-based restricted stock units that will vest based on the Company’s achievement of long-term performance goals. With respect to the 2019 Grants, the service-based restricted stock units are scheduled to vest in three equal annual installments and the performance-based restricted stock units are scheduled to vest, if at all, based on the Company’s levels of 2021 revenue and operating income, in each case subject to the executive officer’s continuous service through vesting. The performance-based awards establish threshold, target and maximum vesting amounts based on pre-defined levels of each of 2021 revenue and operating income, subject to the overall achievement of a minimum level of operating income for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Set forth below is a table summarizing the 2019 Grants by executive officer:
