F1	The options are subject both to time-based and performance-based vesting criteria (the "Founder Options"). The performance-based vesting is tied to the achievement of four specified stock price hurdles within a five-year period, with 10% of the Founder Options vesting based on the achievement of a 90-calendar-day average stock price of $5.00, 10% of the Founder Options vesting based on the achievement of a 90-calendar-day average stock price of $7.50, 20% of the Founder Options vesting based on the achievement of a 90-calendar-day average stock price of $10.00 and the remaining 60% of the Founder Options vesting based on the achievement of a 90-calendar-day average stock price of $12.50. If any of the performance-based criteria are achieved during the five-year performance period, the awards will vest on the five-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the Reporting Person's or spouse's continued employment with Ginkgo on such anniversary.
