FAQ

What equity awards did CuriosityStream (CURI) grant to John T. Vilade?

CuriosityStream granted Chief Commercial Officer John T. Vilade 250,000 restricted stock units on February 10, 2026. This includes 150,000 performance-based RSUs and 100,000 time-based RSUs, all issued under the company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and subject to specific vesting requirements.

How do the 150,000 performance-based RSUs for CURI’s Vilade vest?

The 150,000 performance-based RSUs vest in four tranches of 37,500 when the Board confirms performance conditions are met. Vesting depends on stock VWAP targets of $6.50, $7.50, $9.50, and $11.50, or achieving 2026–2029 annual bonus plan targets at 100% levels.

What happens to unearned performance RSUs for CuriosityStream’s CCO?

Any of the 150,000 performance-based RSUs not earned by January 31, 2030 will be cancelled. This end date places a hard deadline on achieving either the specified VWAP thresholds or the annual bonus plan performance targets linked to each vesting tranche.

What is the vesting schedule for the 100,000 time-based RSUs at CuriosityStream?

The 100,000 time-based RSUs granted to John T. Vilade vest in four equal tranches of 25,000 shares. Vesting occurs on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the February 10, 2026 grant date, assuming he remains continuously employed at each vesting date.

What does each RSU granted by CuriosityStream to Vilade represent?

Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of CuriosityStream common stock. Shares are issued upon vesting, or within 30 days afterward, and all vesting events are conditioned on John T. Vilade’s continued employment with the company.

Are the RSUs granted to CuriosityStream’s CCO subject to employment conditions?

Yes, all RSU vesting for John T. Vilade requires continued employment on each applicable vesting date. If employment ends before a scheduled vesting date, the unvested RSUs tied to that date or condition would not vest under the disclosed terms.
