During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted employees options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 the Company awarded certain employees and directors grants of an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $8.83. The RSUs will be expensed over the requisite service period. The terms of the RSUs include vesting provisions based solely on continued service.
