agreements are consistent with the compensation program we entered into with John Redmond effective when he assumed the role of chief executive officer as of June 1, 2022. The Company believes these agreements are fully in alignment with the interests of our stockholders. Our compensation committee concluded it would be in our stockholders&#8217; interests to establish a fixed number of shares as opposed to a fixed dollar amount to assure alignment between our executives&#8217; compensation and the creation of additional Company value. As the value of our stock increases, the amount of the compensation to our executives increases and likewise, any declines in the value of our stock would have the effect of reducing executive compensation. This compensation package was designed to offer compelling compensation opportunities (subject to continued employment) to incentivize the retention of our executive officers. The Company believes the retention of our executive leadership team will be critical to navigating the current economic times and high fuel cost environment and also to the successful implementation of our Allegiant 2.0 business plan. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Under the new Employment Agreement with Mr. Sheldon, he will begin to serve as a president of the Company effective as of August 1, 2022, and will continue to serve as chief operating officer.

The cash bonus would be equal to the number of shares for each year multiplied by the stock price target met for such year with a percentage (75%, 50% or 25%) to be paid if the average stock price exceeds the target price less $10, $20 or $30, respectively. The full stock price targets for purposes of the cash bonus are $170 for 2023, $210 for 2024, $255 for 2025 and $295 for 2026.  As a result, partial cash bonuses can be earned only if our average stock price exceeds $140 in 2023, $180 in 2024, $225 in 2025 and $265 in 2026, in each case, material stock price appreciation over our current stock price. In determining eligibility for the cash bonuses, the stock price attained would be the average closing price of our stock over any 20- consecutive trading day period during the last six months of each year.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">As of April 3, 2023 (for the options exercisable in 2023) and January 1, 2024 (for the options exercisable in 2024, 2025 and 2026), Mr. Sheldon will also receive stock options to purchase a total of 30,000 shares, with the total broken down into a certain number of shares for each calendar year and exercisable only during such calendar year.

Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As of August 1, 2022, Allegiant Travel Company (the "Company") entered into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with our executive officers, Scott Sheldon, Gregory Anderson, Scott DeAngelo and Robert Wilson.
These employment agreements are consistent with the compensation program we entered into with John Redmond effective when he assumed the role of chief executive officer as of June 1, 2022. The Company believes these agreements are fully in alignment with the interests of our stockholders. Our compensation committee concluded it would be in our stockholders' interests to establish a fixed number of shares as opposed to a fixed dollar amount to assure alignment between our executives' compensation and the creation of additional Company value. As the value of our stock increases, the amount of the compensation to our executives increases and likewise, any declines in the value of our stock would have the effect of reducing executive compensation. This compensation package was designed to offer compelling compensation opportunities (subject to continued employment) to incentivize the retention of our executive officers. The Company believes the retention of our executive leadership team will be critical to navigating the current economic times and high fuel cost environment and also to the successful implementation of our Allegiant 2.0 business plan.

Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Sheldon's compensation for the period through March 31, 2023 will remain the same as under his existing Employment Agreement with a cash base salary and equity grant intended to match his 2019 compensation to remain compliant with the restrictions on executive compensation imposed by the CARES Act and subsequent government payroll support programs.

Mr. Sheldon will be eligible to receive a cash bonus based on stock price performance and based on a certain number of shares for each calendar year.

The cash bonus would be equal to the number of shares for each year multiplied by the stock price target met for such year with a percentage (75%, 50% or 25%) to be paid if the average stock price exceeds the target price less $10, $20 or $30, respectively. The full stock price targets for purposes of the cash bonus are $170 for 2023, $210 for 2024, $255 for 2025 and $295 for 2026.  As a result, partial cash bonuses can be earned only if our average stock price exceeds $140 in 2023, $180 in 2024, $225 in 2025 and $265 in 2026, in each case, material stock price appreciation over our current stock price.
