Item 5.02

Amendment to Equity Plan
On June 11, 2019, we amended the Resonant Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as previously amended, to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to all types of awards granted under the plan from 5,950,000 to 9,950,000 shares. The plan amendment was adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our stockholders at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 11, 2019. The number of shares available for award under the plan is subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes in accordance with the provisions of the plan.
Amendment No. 3 to the Resonant Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
CEO Compensation
On June 11, 2019, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the following changes in and additional compensation payable to George B. Holmes, our Chief Executive Officer:
Base Salary -- Mr. Holmes’ annual base salary was increased from $365,000 to $400,000, commencing June 15, 2019; and

Supplemental LTI Award -- Mr. Holmes was awarded restricted stock units for an aggregate of 12,821 shares of common stock under the Resonant Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which award will vest in four equal annual installments on December 1, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, subject to continued service to us through the vesting date; and

Amendment and Extension of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award - Mr. Holmes existing performance-based restricted stock unit award, originally granted in August 2016 for 250,000 shares of common stock under the Resonant Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“ PRSUs ”), was amended and restated to (i) increase the number of shares subject to the award to 500,000, (ii) extend the term of the award to September 30, 2022, and (iii) and change the price range in which the award vests to be between $5.00 and $20.00.
As amended and restated, the PRSUs are subject to share price vesting requirements, measured quarterly, based on the average of (a) the average high daily trading price of our common stock for each trading day during the last month of the applicable calendar quarter and (b) the average low daily trading price of our common stock for each trading day during the last month of the applicable calendar quarter, each as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “ Applicable Share Price ”). The PRSUs are eligible to be earned on a quarterly basis based on a linear interpolation of the Applicable Share Price within the price performance range of between $5.00 and $20.00, or in the case of a liquidation event, on the day of (or in connection with) such liquidation event based on the applicable transaction price within the price performance range. Once earned, the PRSUs vest and become exercisable (y) 50% on the date such PRSUs become earned and (z) 50% on September 30, 2022.
The foregoing summary of the PRSUs is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated award agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
