Insights
Grant of long-term equity tied to service over four years.
The Form 4 discloses a standard executive equity package: 450,000 options at a $3.87 exercise price and 150,000 RSUs, both awarded on 10/01/2025. Vesting schedules align incentives with continued employment, with 25% vesting on 10/01/2026.
This matters for governance because the awards increase the reporting person’s potential future equity stake and align compensation with multi-year performance without providing immediate liquidity.
Potential share count increase of 600,000 underlying shares if fully vested and exercised.
The Form 4 shows 450,000 options and 150,000 RSUs, which together represent 600,000 shares underlying these instruments. Options have a defined exercise price ($3.87); RSUs convert to shares when vested and have no expiration.
For investors, the key disclosed metric is the exact number of shares that could be issued over time; the filing does not disclose current total outstanding shares, so the percentage dilution cannot be computed from this form alone.
