The shares subject to the grant will vest in three (3) equal annual installments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of March 1, 2016, subject to continued service as a director through each vesting date. The grant is subject to the terms and conditions of Qualys’ 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and the related restricted stock unit agreement.
