Notice of 20192020 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement

[MISSING IMAGE: lg_jerashholdings-us.jpg]

[MISSING IMAGE: lg_jerashholdings2.jpg]

To our Stockholders:

Thank you for your support as a stockholder inof Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. We are excited to report strong financial results for fiscal 2019, our first full year as a publicly traded company,2020, including record sales of $85 $93million, $0.45$0.57 per share in GAAP net income and $9.8 $6.9million in cash flow from operations. We ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $27.8 $26.9million. We also declared our firstcontinued to declare dividends, with a target of returningpaying out $0.20 per share per yearin dividends to our stockholders going forward.

Perhaps even more importantly, we took several steps intended to drive further growthover the course of the year.

Our fiscal 2020 performance was slightly impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the national shutdown in revenuelate March 2020 in Jordan where our production facilities are located. For fiscal 2021, there are uncertainties in customer demand in both the United States and profitability in the years ahead. For example, we initiated sample ordersEurope. We are relentlessly communicating with multiple prospectiveboth existing and new customers even as existingto secure orders, but currently we are unable to provide an annual projection given the volatility of the pandemic situation.

We have taken pro-active steps in bringing in new customers continue to ask for increased capacity. We significantly expanded warm weather production, growing revenue by 63% in our fiscal second half as we seek to maximize output year-round. To meet this rising demand from our customers, we acquired additional factory assets in Jordan that commenced production in April of this year. We also advanced construction of a satellite facility in partnership with the government of Jordan, expected to begin production late in calendar year 2019.and expanding product types, like non-medical facial masks and personal protection equipment level gears including surgical masks and isolation gowns. We believe these facilitiessuch actions, in addition to our strong cashflow position, will propel our annual capacityposition Jerash well to more than 8 million pieces bycapture additional market shares when the end of calendar year 2019, with additional upside from subsequent efficiency gains and investment in line expansion.

All of these facts underscore that Jerash is a rapidly growing, profitable maker of sport and outerwear garments for some of the best known brands in the world. Our unparalleled quality, timely delivery and duty-free import status are becoming known to a broader base of prospective customers, and more of these brands are seeking to do business with Jerash.
Building on these strong results, in fiscal 2020 we anticipate exceeding $100 million in sales for the first time in our history, which would represent at least 17% annual growth. We also remain focused on operating cost efficiency and profitability to further build on the results of fiscal 2019.
markets fully reopen.

Finally, I want to highlight that we are achieving these successesthe above while remaining a socially responsible company. We believe in paying a living wage to our valued employees, creating a safe and rewarding work environment with opportunities for advancement, and providing access to employment for displaced or disadvantaged workers, including Syrian refugees through our work with the United Nations and local women through our work with the Jordanian government.

We look forward to the year ahead and continuing to report our progress.

Best regards,

increase the number of shares available for grant under the Plan by 300,000 to 1,784,250 shares;

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

Board and Committee Independence

The Board determines whether each of our directors is considered independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the bright-linebright-line independence standards under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine that, in its opinion, each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. The Board has determined that the following nominees satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq: Gary Haseley, Sean Socha,Ibrahim H. Saif, Bill Korn, and Mak Chi Yan.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The Board does not have a policy on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be a non-employeenon-employee director or an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to choose this role in any manner that is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. Under the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the Board of Directors may elect a Chairperson of the Board from among the directors or from among other officers as it may determine to preside at meetings of the stockholders and directors and to perform other duties as the Board may determine.

Currently, our Chairman of the Board, Choi Lin Hung, is also our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Treasurer, Choi Lin Hung.Treasurer. We believe that Mr. Choi’s leadership of the Company in this dual role is appropriate for the Company at this time because his involvement with the Company’s operations and business strategy provide the main focus for the Board. The Board does not currently have a lead independent director. The Board believes its current leadership structure is appropriate because Mr. Choi’s leadership ensures the Company maintains continuity as it grows as a public company and affords the Board access to Mr. Choi’s institutional knowledge of the Company.

Board Committees and Meetings

The Board held sixfour meetings during fiscal 2019.2020. No director attended fewer than 75% the aggregate number of all meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which he or she served during fiscal 2019.2020. All five of the Company’s directors, except those who were recently elected, attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders either in person or by conference call. The Company expects the directors to attend the Annual Meeting either in person or by conference call.

Board Committees

The Board of Directors has created three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has adopted a formal, written charter for each of the committees under which each committee operates. The charters can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at www.jerashholdings.com. As a matter of routine corporate governance, each committee intends to review its charter and practices on an annual basis to determine whether its charter and practices are consistent with listing standards of Nasdaq.

Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director as defined by rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that Sean SochaBill Korn is an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC rules.

The Audit Committee has the sole power and authority to select and engage independent auditors for the Company. The Audit Committee reviews with the auditors and with the Company’s management all matters relating to the annual audit of the Company. The Audit Committee held fivefour meetings and several informal meetings over the phone in fiscal 2019.

2020.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) is composed of three independent directors: Gary Haseley,Ibrahim H. Saif, who is the chairperson, Sean SochaBill Korn, and Mak Chi Yan. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an independent director as defined by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.

The Compensation Committee has the power and authority to review and approve the remuneration arrangements for the Company’s executive officers, directors, and certain employees. The Compensation Committee also interprets and administers our employee benefit plans, including by selecting participants and approving awards under those plans. The Compensation Committee has the power and authority to form, and delegate authority to, subcommittees. The Compensation Committee held twodid not hold any meetings in fiscal 2019.

2020.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) is composed of three independent directors: Mak Chi Yan, who is the chairperson, Gary HaseleyIbrahim H. Saif, and Sean Socha.Bill Korn. Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is an independent director as defined by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending candidates for membership on the Board. Each year, prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends nominees to serve as our directors for the following year. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not hold any meetings in fiscal 2019.

2020.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of the Board, including with respect to cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee receives reports from management on at least a quarterly basis regarding management’s assessment of risks to the Company.

10

In addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to our Board, which also monitors our risk profile. The Audit Committee and the Board focus on the most significant risks we face and our general risk management strategies, while our management team coordinates responses to day-to-dayday-to-day risks.

Code of Ethics

We have a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors and executive officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller. The Code of Ethics is publicly available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at www.jerashholdings.com. We intend to post any amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, on our website.

Anti-Corruption Policy

We have adopted an Anti-CorruptionAnti-Corruption Policy that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, agents, consultants, joint venture partners, and any other third-partythird-party representative that conducts business on behalf

9

of the Company outside of the U.S. or interacts with non-U.S.non-U.S. government officials. This Anti-CorruptionAnti-Corruption Policy sets forth our guiding principles to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and other anti-corruptionanti-corruption and anti-briberyanti-bribery laws to which we may be subject, including the anti-corruptionanti-corruption provisions of the Penal Code of Jordan. Our Anti-CorruptionAnti-Corruption Policy is publicly available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at www.jerashholdings.com.

Nominating Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening, and recommending candidates for membership on the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not yet developed a policy for selecting directors, including any specific minimum requirements or a diversity policy. We believe that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will develop these policies in fiscal 2020.2021. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as it evaluates candidates recommended by Board members, officers, or search firms. To recommend a potential candidate to the Board, a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation,Chief Financial Officer, Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 260 East Main Street,277 Fairfield Road, Suite 2706, Rochester, New York 14604,338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, in the manner set forth in our Bylaws, as filed with the SEC. Stockholder nominations must be received no earlier than May 19, 20202021 and no later than June 18, 20202021 to be considered for our 20202021 annual meeting of stockholders. See “Other Important Information — Stockholder Proposals for the 20202021 Annual Meeting” below for more information. Following the amendment and restatement of our Bylaws in July 2019, stockholders must follow specific requirements to recommend a nominee to serve as a director of the Company. These requirements, as set forth in the Bylaws, are designed to elicit the type of information regarding a director nominee who is proposed by a stockholder that would be comparable to the information reviewed for those nominees proposed by our management to best ensure that stockholder nominees are considered in the same manner by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our directors may send a letter to: Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 260 East Main Street,277 Fairfield Road, Suite 2706, Rochester, New York 14604,338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, Attention: Board of Directors. All correspondence sent to that address will be delivered to the appropriate directors by our Corporate Secretary.

Chief Financial Officer.

Director Compensation

The compensation of our directors is set by our Board of Directors and reviewed by the Compensation Committee at least annually. The Company does not pay any director who is also an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for his or her service as director. In addition to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with serving on the Board, in fiscal 20192020 we paid eachour independent directors who served during that year compensation as follows:

Proposal No. 2 — Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of our Stock Incentive Plan
Background
You are being asked to approve the amendment and restatement of our Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for grant to participants pursuant to awards under the Plan. The Board approved the Plan on July 19, 2019 and the submission of the Plan to our stockholders. Approval of the Plan by our stockholders will enable us to continue to grant equity awards to our employees and directors.
Approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal.
The Board recommends that you voteforapproving the Plan.
Terms of the Plan
The Plan currently provides that the maximum number of shares available for grant to participants pursuant to awards under the Plan is 1,484,250 shares. The amendment and restatement of the Plan, if approved by our stockholders, would:

increase the number of shares available for grant under the Plan by 300,000 to 1,784,250 shares;

extend the termination date of the plan to July 19, 2029;

enhance aspects of the Plan’s governance, such as applying the same restrictions to dividends paid on RSAs and RSUs as the underlying award and limiting the shares that can be returned to the share reserve under the Plan;

provide for the Plan to be administered by the Compensation Committee; and

update other administrative terms in the Plan.
The amendment and restatement of the Plan does not provide for determinable benefits or amounts to be received by our named executive officers, executive officers, directors, or employees.
Summary of the Plan as Proposed to be Amended
The following summary of the material terms of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to promote ours and our stockholders’ long-term interests by strengthening our ability to attract, motivate and retain employees, officers, and other persons who provide valuable services to us, encourage such persons to hold an equity interest in us, and enhance the mutuality of interest between these individuals and our stockholders in improving the value of our stock.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, provided that the Board also has the right to administer the Plan in its discretion. The Compensation Committee may delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan to the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or other executive officer of the Company as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, subject to applicable law.
Types of Awards and Eligibility for Participation
The Board may grant awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards pursuant to the Plan to our employees, directors and consultants.
20

Amendment and Termination of the Plan
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and as deems advisable, unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time prior to July 19, 2029, the termination date of the Plan.
Available Shares
Subject to adjustment as described the Plan, the maximum number of shares available for grant to participants pursuant to awards under the Plan will be 1,784,250 shares. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. Shares can be returned to the Plan if the applicable award is forfeited, expires or otherwise terminates without the shares being issued. However, shares surrendered or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an option or to satisfy any tax withholding obligation will not be returned to the Plan.
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
If the Board authorized the award of RSAs or RSUs, dividends or dividend equivalents paid on those RSAs or RSUs are subject to the vesting of the underlying RSA or RSU.
Award Limits for Incentive Stock Options
The maximum compensation granted as an incentive stock option to any one participant during any calendar year under the Plan and under any other option plan of ours will not exceed a fair market value of $100,000. If any option award exceeds this limit, it will be treated as a nonqualified stock option.
Grants to Non-U.S. Employees
In counties outside the United States, to facilitate the granting of awards to participants who are employed outside of the United States, the Plan authorizes the Board to exclude the use of one or more (i) methods for exercising an option, (ii) methods for paying the exercise price of an option, (iii) types of awards, and (iv) methods for satisfying any tax withholding associated with the exercise of an option.

Proposal No. 3 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

While stockholder ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accountants is not required by our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, the Audit Committee and management believe that it is desirable and a matter of good corporate practice for stockholders to ratify the Company’s selection of the independent registered public accountants. Therefore, the Audit Committee is requesting that stockholders approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Friedman as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

2021.

The Audit Committee values the input of our stockholders. In the event that stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Audit Committee will consider that fact when it selects the independent registered public accountants for the following year.

Audit Committee Report

Management is responsible for the Company’s accounting and financial reporting process. Our external auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the external auditors. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the external auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

The Company’s external auditors also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the external auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the external auditors that firm’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the external auditors and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the report of the external auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019,2020, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the appointment of Friedman as the Company’s external auditors for the year ending March 31, 2020.

Notice Regarding Delivery of Stockholder Documents

The SEC permits us to send a single set of annual disclosure documents to stockholders who share an address, unless you have instructed us otherwise. This “householding” process reduces the volume of duplicate information you receive and reduces our printing and mailing expenses. If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one Notice, but you would prefer to continue receiving a separate Notice, you may request a separate Notice at no cost to you by writing to the Company at Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 260 East Main Street,277 Fairfield Road, Suite 2706, Rochester, NY 14604,338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, or by calling (212) 575-9085.(214) 906-0065. Alternatively, if you are currently receiving multiple Notices at the same address and wish to receive a single Notice in the future, you may contact us by calling or writing to us at the telephone number or address given above.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker may deliver only one Notice to stockholders who have the same address unless the broker has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. If you wish to receive a separate Notice, now or in the future, you may contact us at the address or telephone number above and we will promptly deliver a separate Notice. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are currently receiving multiple Notices and wish to receive a single Notice in the future should contact their broker to request that only a single Notice be delivered to all stockholders at the shared address in the future.

ADJUSTMENTS
12.1 Adjustment of Shares.   In the event of any changes in the Common Stock or capital structure of the Company by reason of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock splits, reverse stock splits, spin-offs, the payment of a stock dividend or extraordinary cash dividend, or other distribution of the Common Stock for which no consideration is received by the Company or otherwise occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, then Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the Exercise Price of Options, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan set forth in Section 4.1 and the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options set forth in Section 4.2, shall be
A-6

equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any adjustment to Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall comply with the applicable requirements, provisions and restrictions of the Code and applicable law. No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 12.1. In case of any such adjustment, the shares subject to the Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each Participant which shall have been so adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
12.2 Limitations.   The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company’s right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 13
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
13.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of Plan.   Subject to applicable law, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan. No amendment may be effective, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, if approval of such amendment is required in order that transactions in Company securities under the Plan be exempt from the operation of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or if such amendment, with respect to the issuance of Incentive Stock Options, either: (a) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan, except as provided for in Section 12; or (b) materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan (unless designed to comport with applicable law). The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant’s consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Award theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan.
13.2 Amendment of Awards.   Subject to applicable law and the Plan, the Committee will have the exclusive authority and discretion to amend any Award or Award Agreement. If the amendment will have a material adverse effect on a Participant’s rights, or result in a material increase in the Participant’s obligations, the Committee must obtain the Participant’s written consent to the amendment.
13.3 Term of the Plan.   Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate 10 years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms and conditions.
SECTION 14
GENERAL
14.1 No Individual Rights.   No individual or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and the Company has no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. Furthermore, nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate a Participant’s employment, service or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.
14.2 Issuance of Shares.   In the event that the Board or the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the listing, qualification or registration of the shares issued under the Plan on any securities exchange or quotation or trading system or under any applicable law (including state securities laws) or governmental regulation is necessary as a condition to the issuance of such shares under the Award, the Award may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been unconditionally obtained.
A-7

14.3 No Rights as Stockholder.   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, a Participant to whom an Award of Restricted Stock has been made shall have ownership of such shares of Common Stock, including the right to vote the same and to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, a Participant to whom an Award of Options, Restricted Stock Units or any other Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock) is made shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock or as a holder with respect to other securities, if any, issuable pursuant to any such Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to the Participant or the entry on the Participant’s behalf of an uncertificated book position on the records of the Company’s transfer agent and registrar for such Common Stock or other instrument of ownership, if any. Except as provided in Section 12, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities, other property or other forms of consideration, or any combination thereof) for which the record date is prior to the date such book entry is made or a stock certificate or other instrument of ownership, if any, is issued.
14.4 No Trust or Fund.   The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
14.5 Successors.   All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company.
14.6 Substitute Awards.   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the terms of Substitute Awards may vary from the terms set forth in the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted.
14.7 Severability.   If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Committee’s determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
14.8 Choice of Law.   The Plan, all Awards granted thereunder and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
14.9 Electronic Delivery and Signatures.   Any reference in the Plan, an Award or an Award Agreement to a written document includes without limitation any document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s intranet or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company or Subsidiary. The Committee and any Participant may use facsimile and PDF signatures in signing any Award or Award Agreement, in exercising any Option, or in any other written document in the Plan’s administration. The Committee and each Participant are bound by facsimile and PDF signatures, and acknowledge that the other party relies on facsimile and PDF signatures.
14.10 Headings and Captions.   The headings and captions in the Plan are used only for convenience, and do not construe, define, expand, interpret, or limit any provision of the Plan.
14.11 Gender and Number.   Whenever the context may require, any pronoun includes the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter form, and the singular includes the plural and vice versa.
14.12 Construction.   The terms “includes,” “including,” “includes without limitation,” and “including without limitation” are not to be construed to limit any provision or item that precedes or follows these terms (whether in the same section or another section) to the specific or similar provisions or items that follow these terms.

SECTION 15
EFFECTIVE DATE
The Plan initially became effective upon its adoption by the Board on March 21, 2018 (the “Prior Plan”). On July 19, 2019, the Board adopted the amended and restated Plan (the “Amended Plan”), subject to subsequent approval by the stockholders of the Company no later than the 2019 annual meeting (the “Effective Date”). If the Amended Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, (a) Awards granted prior to the Effective Date shall remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan, and (b) the expiration date of the Amended Plan, on and after which date no further Awards may be granted hereunder, shall be the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that such expiration shall not affect Awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Plan shall continue to apply to such Awards. If the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Amended Plan, the Prior Plan and the Awards granted thereunder shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms.
