Kodiak AI, Inc. SEC Filings

Kodiak AI, Inc. (KDK) reporting person Surajit Datta, Chief Financial Officer, amended a Form 4 filed for a grant dated 09/24/2025 to correct the number of restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded. The amended filing states the actual award was 699,453 RSUs, each representing a contingent right to one share of common stock, and corrects an earlier erroneous report of 2,035,915 RSUs. The RSUs are subject to a performance-based vesting condition and a service-based vesting condition. The performance condition vests one-third of the RSUs if the company’s common stock trades at or above thresholds of $18.00, $23.00 and $28.00 for any 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days prior to the earlier of 09/24/2029 or a change of control.

The filing explains the Original Form 4 mistakenly reported 1,017,084 RSUs. The RSUs vest subject to a performance condition (price thresholds of $18.00, $23.00 and $28.00 for separate tranches over specified trading-day tests through 09/24/2029 or a change of control) and a service-based vesting condition on substantially the same terms as previously disclosed.
