LENSAR Announces Stock Options for New Team Members
LENSAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNSR), a notable player in the medical device sector, recently disclosed that its board of directors approved inducement grants of stock options for three new non-executive hires. This decision, rooted in commitment to attract top talent, involves options to purchase a total of 1,650 shares of the Company’s common stock. These grants align with the guidelines set by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
