The Equity Awards represent long term incentive awards for the period beginning on the grant date and ending on the date of the next annual equity grant, expected to occur in the first quarter of 2023. The grant date fair value for the Equity Awards granted to Messrs. Scheirman and Lowe was approximately $1,150,000 and $275,000, respectively.
