Equity Award Plans
The Company has two equity incentive plans, the Sprinklr, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the Sprinklr, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan was terminated as to future awards in June 2021 upon the adoption of the 2021 Plan, although it continues to govern the terms of any equity grants that remain outstanding under the 2011 Plan.
The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based stock units (“PSUs”), and other forms of awards to employees, directors and consultants, including employees and consultants of the Company’s affiliates, as permitted by law.
In June 2021, the Company also adopted its ESPP, under which employees can purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on (i) the first trading day of each offering period and (ii) the last trading day of each related offering period.
