NOTE 12 — 2020 SEVERANCE AND REORGANIZATION
Employee Retention Plan
During the first quarter of 2020, we implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan due to the sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices as well as the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We satisfied all amounts owed to former employees. In July 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an employee retention incentive plan (the “Employee Retention Plan”) aggregating $12.0 million. The Employee Retention Plan was designed to vest in four equal installments upon the attainment of a ten-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock above $2.25, $3.25, $4.25 and $5.25 (the “Stock Performance Targets”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, three of the four installments vested and we recognized approximately $7.9 million in retention charges within General and administrative expenses and Development expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $3.6 million was paid during 2022. The plan expired on March 31, 2022, and the fourth installment did not vest, as the final Stock Performance Target was not attained.
