Equity compensation analyst

CEO receives multi-year RSU grant aligning pay with share performance.

The President and CEO, Christian H. Hillabrant, was granted 47,706 Time RSUs at a stated price of $0.0000 per unit as a compensatory award. Each RSU entitles him to receive one share of common stock if vesting conditions are met.

The award vests in three equal tranches, with 33 1/3% vesting on February 19, 2027, February 19, 2028, and February 19, 2029. Vesting generally depends on his continued employment or board service and other criteria under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

This kind of time-based RSU grant is a standard long-term incentive structure designed to spread compensation over several years. Actual share delivery and any realized value will depend on both vesting and the company’s future stock price at the time of settlement.
