The Employment Agreement Amendment also memorializes the update to Ms. Hilty&#8217;s target bonus percentage to 75% of her annual base salary that was effective in connection with her appointment as Executive Vice President in January of 2020. Ms. Hilty will also receive a one-time, time-based, restricted share award granted effective January 1,2021, with a grant date fair market value equal to $25,000 issued under the Company&#8217;s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The restricted shares are scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. The time-based restricted shares include the right to receive regular and special cash dividends, if and when the underlying shares vest.

Amendment to Employment Agreement with Sarah Kinnick Hilty
On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the "Employment Agreement Amendment") to the Employment Agreement, dated January 12, 2018, with Sarah Kinnick Hilty, the Company's Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary (the "Employment Agreement"). The terms of the Employment Agreement Amendment are effective January 1, 2021. The Employment Agreement Amendment extends the term of the Employment Agreement through December 31, 2023 and sets Ms. Hilty's annual base salary at $425,000 and provides that a portion of the increase in salary shall be deferred from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 and paid on July 1, 2021. The Employment Agreement Amendment also memorializes the update to Ms. Hilty's target bonus percentage to 75% of her annual base salary that was effective in connection with her appointment as Executive Vice President in January of 2020. Ms. Hilty will also receive a one-time, time-based, restricted share award granted effective January 1,2021, with a grant date fair market value equal to $25,000 issued under the Company's 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be granted will be calculated by dividing $25,000 by the closing share price of the Company's common stock as reported on NASDAQ on the trading day preceding the grant date.  The restricted shares are scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. The time-based restricted shares include the right to receive regular and special cash dividends, if and when the underlying shares vest. The remaining terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, including provisions related to Ms. Hilty's long-term incentive grants, severance and other termination benefits are unchanged by the Employment Agreement Amendment other than the removal of terms associated with the commencement of Ms. Hilty's employment with the Company and certain other administrative changes.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Employment Agreement Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
