Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 26, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (the “Company”) approved a supplemental, discretionary grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Matthew McDonnell, effective March 4, 2026 (the “Date of Grant”), pursuant to the Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”).  The number of RSUs granted to Mr. McDonnell will be determined by dividing $500,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 4, 2026.  Under the applicable award agreement, one-third of the RSUs will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant, subject to Mr. McDonnell remaining in the continuous employment of the Company or a subsidiary on each such vesting date.  Upon an early termination due to Mr. McDonnell’s death or permanent disability, a change in control where a replacement award is not provided, or a qualifying termination within two years following a change in control where a replacement award is provided, any unvested RSUs will fully vest, as further described in the applicable award agreement.  Upon vesting, the RSUs will be settled in CHESS depositary interests of the Company. These RSUs, as a one-time, special award to recognize Mr. McDonnell’s exemplary service, are not intended to impact the total target value of Mr. McDonnell’s annual equity awards for 2026.

FAQ

What executive compensation change did Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (AVR) disclose?

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. approved a one-time grant of restricted stock units to its Chief Financial Officer. The RSUs have a target value of $500,000 and are intended as a special recognition award, separate from his regular 2026 annual equity compensation.

How is the $500,000 RSU award to the AVR CFO calculated?

The number of RSUs for the AVR CFO is set by dividing $500,000 by the closing price of Anteris common stock on March 4, 2026. This pegs the size of the equity grant directly to the market value on the grant date.

What is the vesting schedule for the AVR CFO’s new RSU grant?

One-third of the CFO’s RSUs will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the March 4, 2026 grant date. Vesting requires his continuous employment with Anteris Technologies Global Corp. or a subsidiary on each applicable vesting date.

Under what conditions do the AVR CFO’s RSUs fully vest early?

The RSUs fully vest early if the CFO dies, becomes permanently disabled, or faces certain qualifying terminations related to a change in control. This includes situations where no replacement award is provided or certain terminations within two years after a change in control with a replacement award.

How will the AVR CFO’s restricted stock units be settled when they vest?

When the restricted stock units vest, they will be settled in CHESS depositary interests of Anteris Technologies Global Corp. This means the CFO will receive equity interests structured for trading and settlement in the Australian CHESS system, rather than direct share delivery.

Does the special RSU award change the AVR CFO’s regular 2026 equity compensation?

The company states this RSU grant is a one-time, special award recognizing the CFO’s exemplary service. It is not intended to change or increase the total target value of his regular annual equity awards for 2026 under the company’s equity incentive plan.
