• Full terms are not yet filed; uncertainty remains about any performance conditions or additional restrictive covenants until the exhibit is posted

Insights

Compensation Specialist

One-time $500,000 retention-style bonus with a two-year clawback.

The payment functions as a short-term retention and incentive tool for the executive charged with regulatory and communications responsibilities. The clawback provision through October 3, 2027 ties repayment to tenure, which is a common mechanism to protect the company if the executive departs prematurely.

The main dependencies are continued employment and compliance with the agreement's covenants; investors should note the full agreement will be filed with the quarterly report for the period ending December 31, 2025, which will clarify any performance conditions or restrictive covenants.
