PROXY STATEMENT

FREIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Freight Technologies, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company ("we," "us" or the "Company"), is soliciting proxies to be used at the annual meeting of shareholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting") of the Company to be held at our office at Hidalgo 2035, Local M20, Colonia Obispado, Monterrey N.L. C.P. 64060, Mexico on Thursday, December 15, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. local time and any postponement or adjournment thereof.

This proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") and the accompanying notice and form of proxy are first being distributed to shareholders on or about November 7, 2022. The Board is requesting that you permit your ordinary shares to be represented at the 2022 Annual Meeting by the persons named as proxies for the 2022 Annual Meeting.

The proxy solicitation materials, including the Notice of 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, this Proxy Statement, our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report"), and the proxy card (collectively, the "Proxy Materials"), are being furnished to the holders of our ordinary shares, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use in voting at the 2022 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the 2022 Annual Meeting. Please read it carefully.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING, THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING YOUR SHARES

WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?

Our Board has delivered the Proxy Materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the 2022 Annual Meeting. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.

WHAT IS A PROXY?

Our Board is soliciting your vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting. You may vote by proxy as explained in this Proxy Statement. A proxy is your formal legal designation of another person to vote the ordinary shares you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card.

Mr. Javier Selgas has been designated as the Company's proxy for the 2022 Annual Meeting.

WHAT PROPOSALS WILL BE VOTED ON AT THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING?

There are five proposals that will be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting:

1. To elect each of the four directors named in this Proxy Statement to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his/her respective successor is elected and duly qualified; and
2. To ratify the appointment of UHY LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
1
3. To approve the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.
4. To approve the Company's named executive officers' compensation.
5. To determine the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND I VOTE?

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote:

"FOR" the election of each director named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1);
"FOR" the ratification of the appointment of UHY LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 2);
"FOR" the approval of the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 3);
"FOR" the ratification of Company's named executive officers' compensation (Proposal No. 4).
For the "One-Year" option as to the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers

WHAT HAPPENS IF ADDITIONAL MATTERS ARE PRESENTED AT THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING?

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the 2022 Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn or postpone the 2022 Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named as proxy holders will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment, unless you direct them otherwise in your proxy instructions. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

WHO CAN VOTE AT THE 2022 Annual Meeting?

Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 26, 2022, the date established by the Board for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at our 2022 Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"), are entitled to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

On the Record Date, 9,771,975 ordinary shares were outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share owned for each matter to be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting. Holders of ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all proposals to be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

A list of the shareholders of record as of October 26, 2022 will be available for inspection at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?

A majority of the votes of our outstanding ordinary shares as of the Record Date must be present, in person or by proxy, at the 2022 Annual Meeting in order to properly convene the 2022 Annual Meeting. This is called a quorum. If there are not enough votes of the ordinary shares present both in person and by timely and properly submitted proxies to constitute a quorum, the 2022 Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the Chairman of the meeting until such time as a sufficient number of votes are present. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

2

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A "SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD" AND A "BENEFICIAL OWNER" HOLDING SHARES IN STREET NAME?

Shareholder of Record: You are a "shareholder of record" if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, TranShare Securities Transfer and Registrar. The Proxy Materials are sent directly to a shareholder of record.

Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of shares held in "street name" and your bank or other nominee is considered the shareholder of record. Your bank or other nominee forwarded the Proxy Materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by completing a voting instruction form. Because a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you are invited to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting, but you may not vote these shares in person at the 2022 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

HOW DO I VOTE?

Shareholders of record can vote their shares in person, by attending the 2022 Annual Meeting, by telephone or over the Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card, or by mail, by completing, signing and mailing your proxy card. The proxy card must be received by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood NY, 11717 or at our office located at 2001 Timberloch Place, Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380 not later than 11:59 p.m. local time on December 14, 2022 to be validly included in the tally of shares voted at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held in "street name" (i.e. through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will receive voting instructions from the institution holding your shares. The methods of voting will depend upon the institution's voting processes, including voting via the telephone or the Internet. Please contact the institution holding your ordinary shares for more information.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

It means that your ordinary shares are registered differently or you have multiple accounts. Please vote all of these shares separately to ensure all of the shares you hold are voted.

WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?

Shareholders of Record: If you are a shareholder of record and you properly submit your proxy but do not give voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares as follows: "FOR" the election of the four director nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1), "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of UHY LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 2), "FOR" the approval of the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 3); "FOR" the ratification of compensation of the Company's named executive officers (Proposal No. 4), and for the "One-Year" option as to the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal No. 5). If you do not return a proxy, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists and your shares will not be voted at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners: If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held in "street name" (i.e. through a bank, broker or other nominee) and you do not give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, your bank, broker or other nominee may exercise discretionary authority to vote on matters that the NASDAQ ("NASDAQ") determines to be "routine." Your bank, broker or other nominee is not allowed to vote your shares on "non-routine" matters and this will result in a "broker non-vote" on that non-routine matter, but the shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. The items on the 2022 Annual Meeting agenda that may be considered non-routine are Proposal No. 2 relating to the Ratification of Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and Proposal No. 3 relating to the approval of the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive PLan; however, we cannot be certain whether this will be treated as a routine matter since our Proxy Statement is prepared in compliance with the laws of British Virgin Islands rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies. We strongly encourage you to submit your voting instructions and exercise your right to vote as a shareholder.

3

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE OR REVOKE MY PROXY?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting. If you submitted your proxy by mail, you must file with the Chief Financial Officer of the Company a written notice of revocation or deliver, prior to the vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting, a valid, later-dated proxy. Attendance at the 2022 Annual Meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Chief Financial Officer before the proxy is exercised or you vote by written ballot at the 2022 Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2022 Annual Meeting and voting in person.

HOW WILL THE PROXIES BE SOLICITED AND WHO WILL BEAR THE COSTS?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Proxies may be solicited by our directors, executive officers and employees, without additional compensation, in person, or by mail, courier, telephone, email or facsimile. We may also make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. We may reimburse such brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.

WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES AND HOW CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING?

Our inspector of election will tabulate and certify the votes. We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the 2022 Annual Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 6-K, which we will file with the SEC shortly after the 2022 Annual Meeting.

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH ITEM?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal that were present and voted at the 2022 Annual Meeting is required to elect directors (Proposal No. 1), to ratify the Audit Committee's appointment of UHY LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 2) and approve the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 3). The advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal No. 4) and the advisory vote on frequency of advisory notes on executive compensation (Proposal No. 5) are not binding on the Company's Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements and the frequency of having advisory votes on such compensation arrangements.

WHAT ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES AND HOW WILL THEY BE TREATED?

An "abstention" occurs when a shareholder chooses to abstain or refrain from voting their shares on one or more matters presented for a vote. For the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions are counted as present.

Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of either proposal.

A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner attends the 2022 Annual Meeting in person or by proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of either proposal

4

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO ATTEND THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING?

If you plan to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting in person, you will need to bring proof of your ownership of ordinary shares, such as your proxy card or transfer agent statement, as of the close of business on October 26, 2022 and present an acceptable form of photo identification such as a passport or driver's license. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner holding shares in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee and you would like to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting, you will need to bring an account statement or other acceptable evidence of ownership of ordinary shares as of the close of business on October 26, 2022. In order to vote at the meeting, you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee in whose name your shares are registered and obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee and bring it to the 2022 Annual Meeting.

WHAT ARE THE FISCAL YEAR END DATES?

Each of our fiscal years ends on December 31.

WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THE PROXY MATERIALS?

Copies of our 2021 Annual Report, including consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, the proxy card, the Notice and this Proxy Statement are available on our Company's website at https://fr8technologies.com/. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.

Additional copies of the 2021 Annual Report are available at no charge upon written request. To obtain additional copies of the 2021 Annual Report, please contact us at Freight Technlogies, Inc., 2001 Timberloch Place, Suite 500, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. The request must include a representation by the shareholder that as of our record date, October 26, 2022, such shareholder was entitled to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the Board will at least have one director, and it does not specify the maximum number of directors. The exact number of members of the Board will be determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of our entire Board or by resolution of a majority of the votes of the holders of our ordinary shares. The Board currently consists of four members. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Adler, Samuels and Urbach are independent under applicable SEC and NASDAQ Corporate Governance rules. During the year ended December 31, 2021, each of our former directors attended over 90% of all Board meetings and over 90% of the meetings of each committee of the Board on which he or she serves.

Our Board has nominated the individuals identified below for election as directors at the 2022 Annual Meeting, each of whom is a current director of the Company. Each of these directors will hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2023, and until his respective successor has been elected and duly qualified. The director nominees set forth below have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement as nominees for election as directors and have agreed to serve as directors if elected.

We are soliciting proxies in favor of the election of the nominees identified below. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them "FOR" the director nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve as a director, an event that the Company does not currently anticipate, it is intended that proxies will be voted for any substitute nominee designated by the Board to fill the vacancy or the Board may elect to reduce its size. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board has no reason to believe that the persons named below will be unable or unwilling to serve as directors, if elected.

Recommendation

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of our management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Executive Chairman, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials sent to them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, or if for some other reason they are unable to serve in the capacity of director.

7

Director Independence

As we are listed on NASDAQ, our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of "independent director" contained in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Our Board affirmatively determined that Messrs. Adler, Samuels and Urbach are "independent" directors, as that term is defined in the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board did not hold any meetings in 2021 but approved certain actions by unanimous written consent.

Annual Meeting Attendance Policy

The Company does not have a policy regarding director attendance at Annual Meetings of shareholders, however, all directors are strongly encouraged to attend.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board, the non-management directors, or with an individual Board member may do so by writing to the Board, to the non-management directors, or to the particular Board member, and mailing the correspondence to: c/o Chief Financial Officer, 2001 Timberloch Place, Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380. The envelope should indicate that it contains a shareholder communication. All such shareholder communications will be forwarded to the director or directors to whom the communications are addressed.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We established three committees under the Board of Directors: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We will adopt a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee's members and functions are described below.

Audit Committee. Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Adler, Samuels and Urbach. Mr. Urbach is the chairman of our audit committee. We have determined that Messrs. Adler, Samuels and Urbach satisfy the "independence" requirements of NASDAQ Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Urbach qualifies as an audit committee financial expert and has the accounting or financial management expertise as required under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K. The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;
reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management's response;
discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;
8
reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures;
reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions;
meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and
monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.

A copy of the audit committee's current charter is available at our corporate website at: https://www.fr8.app/investors/governance/.

During the fiscal year of 2021, the audit committee held one telephonic meeting, at which all members of the Audit Committee were present.

Compensation Committee. Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Adler and Urbach. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;
reviewing and recommending to the board for determination with respect to the compensation of our non-employee directors;
reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and
selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person's independence from management.

A copy of the compensation committee's current charter is available at our corporate website at: https://www.fr8.app/investors/governance/.

During the fiscal year of 2021, the compensation committee did not hold any physical or telephonic meetings.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Messrs. Adler and Samuels. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

selecting and recommending to the board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the board;

NASDAQ Requirements

Our ordinary shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and, for so long as our securities continue to be listed, we will remain subject to the rules and regulations established by NASDAQ Stock Market as being applicable to listed companies. NASDAQ has adopted, and from time-to-time adopts, amendments to its Marketplace Rule 5600 that imposes various corporate governance requirements on listed securities. Section (a)(3) of Marketplace Rule 5615 provides that foreign private issuers such as our company are required to comply with certain specific requirements of Marketplace Rule 5600, but, as to the balance of Marketplace Rule 5600, foreign private issuers are not required to comply if the laws of their home jurisdiction do not otherwise mandate compliance with the same or substantially similar requirement.

14

We currently comply with those specifically mandated provisions of Marketplace Rule 5600. In addition, we have elected to voluntarily comply with certain other requirements of Marketplace Rule 5600, notwithstanding that our home jurisdiction does not mandate compliance with the same or substantially similar requirements; although we may in the future determine to cease voluntary compliance with those provisions of Marketplace Rule 5600 that are not mandatory. However, we have elected not to comply with the following provisions of Marketplace Rule 5600, since the laws of the British Virgin Islands do not require compliance with the same or substantially similar requirements:

our independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings in executive session (rather, all board members may attend all meetings of the Board of Directors);
the compensation of our executive officers is recommended but not determined by an independent committee of the board or by the independent members of the Board of Directors; and our CEO is not prevented from being present in the deliberations concerning his compensation;
related party transactions are not required to be reviewed and we are not required to solicit member approval of stock plans, including: those in which our officers or directors may participate; stock issuances that will result in a change in control; the issuance of our stock in related party acquisitions or other acquisitions in which we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding shares; or, below market issuances of 20% or more of our outstanding shares to any person; and
we are not required to hold an in-person annual meeting to elect directors and transact other business customarily conducted at an annual meeting (rather, we complete these actions by written consent of holders of a majority of our voting securities).

We may in the future determine to voluntarily comply with one or more of the foregoing provisions of Marketplace Rule 5600. For example, we have voluntarily decided to compose of the majority of our board of directors with independent directors as defined by the NASDAQ rules.

APPROVAL OF THE FREIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan

The Board has declared advisable, adopted and is submitting for shareholder approval, the Freight Technologies, Inc. 2022 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our ordinary shares.

If approved by the Company's shareholders, the Incentive Plan will be effective as of August 18, 2022 (the date that the Company's Board of Directors approved the Incentive Plan). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Proposal 3 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A. The following description of the Incentive Plan's material terms is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Incentive Plan.

Description of the Incentive Plan

Administration of the Incentive Plan. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock Based Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Shares. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares actually issued in such payment. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an Award through the tender of Shares, or if Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any Company withholding obligations, the number of Shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan. A total of 10,000,000 Shares, which such amount is included in the limit set forth in the first sentence of the Section 3(a) of Incentive Plan, may be issued under the Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Incentive Plan.

Term of Plan. Subject to Section 22 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan.

Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or SAR substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation and each outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit shall be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
