However, this is subject to each employee's continued employment with Sarepta on each vesting date.

Similarly, one-fourth of the RSUs will vest yearly on each anniversary of the grant date until they are fully vested on the fourth anniversary. Again, this is subject to each employee's continued employment with Sarepta.
