A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Original 10-K Filing”) of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (referred to as the “Company,” “TMTG,” “we,” “our” or “us”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2026.  The Original 10-K Filing omitted certain information required by Part III of Form 10-K (“Part III”) in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K (the “Instruction”), under which the information required by Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) could be incorporated by reference into the Original 10-K Filing from our definitive proxy statement for our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Proxy Statement”) if the Proxy Statement were filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original 10-K Filing.  Because the Proxy Statement will not be filed within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year, this Amendment is being filed as permitted by the Instruction to provide the information required by Part III. This Amendment also amends the cover page of the Original 10-K Filing to remove the reference to the incorporation by reference of information from the Proxy Statement and amends and restates Item 15 of Part IV of the Original 10-K Filing to reflect the filing with this Amendment of new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend or otherwise update any information in the Original 10-K Filing, and the Original 10-K Filing, as amended by this Form 10-K/A, continues to speak as of the date of the Original 10-K Filing.  Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K Filing and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-K Filing.

The chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is David Bernhardt.

Specific responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of TMTG’s Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. None of TMTG’s executive officers serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors, compensation committee, or other board committee performing equivalent functions of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as one of our directors or the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of our strategic and organizational objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance and to enhance stockholder value. A fundamental part of risk oversight is to understand the individual risks our Company faces, the steps management is taking to manage those risks, including the framework used by management for the coordinated oversight, control and continuous improvement of processes used to manage risk, and to assess management’s appetite for risk. It is management’s responsibility to manage risk and bring to the Board’s attention material risks facing our Company. Our Board receives regular reports from management on matters relating to strategic and operational initiatives, financial performance and legal developments, which are each integrated with enterprise-risk exposures. Our Board believes that stockholders are best served if the Board retains flexibility to decide what leadership structure works best for the Company, taking into consideration the Board’s business judgment and the contemporaneous facts and circumstances.

While the Board has the ultimate responsibility for risk oversight, each committee of the Board also oversees risk to the extent that it relates to the committee’s responsibilities, as outlined below. Each committee makes reports in its respective area of responsibility to the Board as needed:

The Audit Committee focuses on financial risk, including internal controls, legal and regulatory risks, as well as compliance risks of a financial nature. It also assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility with respect to compliance risks of a non-financial nature.

The Compensation Committee evaluates and sets compensation programs that encourage decision-making predicated upon a level of risk consistent with our business strategy. As needed, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation and benefit plans affecting employees in addition to those applicable to executive officers.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees governance risk, succession planning and evaluates director skills and qualifications to ensure the appropriate appointment of particular directors to our standing committees based upon the needs of that committee.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate directly with any member of our Board, or our non-management directors as a group, may do so by writing to the Board or non-management directors at 401 N. Cattlemen Rd., Ste. 200, Sarasota, Florida 34232.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Florida law permits the indemnification of officers and directors against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim. Florida law also authorizes Florida corporations to indemnify their officers and directors against expenses and liabilities incurred because of their being or having been an officer or director. Our organizational documents provide for this indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation philosophy, objectives, process, and the material components of our executive compensation program. It should be read together with the tables that immediately follow this section and related narratives in executive compensation.
 
Named Executive Officers
 
Our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for fiscal year 2025 were:
 

Devin Nunes, Chief Executive Officer

Phillip Juhan, Chief Financial Officer

Vladimir Novachki, Chief Technology Officer

Scott Glabe, General Counsel
 
Executive Summary
 
The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program should: (i) attract and retain executives with the capability to execute our strategic priorities; (ii) align pay with shareholder interests through meaningful equity ownership and time‑based vesting; and (iii) position total compensation appropriately against a technology/media peer group approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
2025 Company Performance Highlight
 
During 2025, we achieved the following:
 

Improved net cash provided by operating activities to almost $15 million from negative $61 million in FY 2024, an improvement of more than $75 million.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
In order to create value for our stockholders, it is critical to attract, motivate and retain key executive officer talent by providing competitive compensation packages. The executive compensation philosophy is to deliver a market‑competitive mix emphasizing equity to promote ownership, alignment, and retention, with fixed cash compensation targeted around peer medians as appropriate for the Company’s size, complexity, and stage.
 
Our compensation philosophy is based on the following principles:
 
9

Table of Contents

Market relevance. The Compensation Committee considers competitive pay data for a technology/media peer group vetted and periodically refreshed with assistance from its independent compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”).

Alignment and retention. Equity awards constitute a significant portion of target total direct compensation for our NEOs and vest over multi‑year periods to align with shareholder interests and support retention through business milestones.

Pay for role and performance. While we did not implement a 2025 annual cash incentive program for NEOs, the Compensation Committee continues to evaluate introducing an annual cash incentive program. Equity vesting schedules and potential future use of performance‑based vehicles are intended to strengthen the link between realized compensation and Company performance over time.
 
Our executive compensation program currently involves a combination of base salary, time-based equity awards, and perquisites and other benefits.  We aim to develop and implement compensation programs that are designed to promote accountability and assure that executives’ interests continue to be aligned with the interests of our stockholders.
 
Compensation Determination Process
 
Role of the Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program, and is primarily responsible for reviewing, modifying and approving our overall compensation strategies. It meets regularly, reviews analyses from Compensia, considers the CEO’s input on non‑CEO pay, and evaluates internal and external factors, including market data and shareholder interests, before approving NEO compensation actions.
 
Assessment of Risk
 
The Compensation Committee evaluates and considers the potential risks in our business when designing and administering our executive compensation program. Our Compensation Committee has determined that the risks arising from our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
Role of Management
 
In making executive compensation determinations for fiscal year 2025, our Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including the recommendations of our CEO (other than with respect to the CEO’s own compensation), current and past total compensation, competitive market data and analysis provided by Compensia.
 
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
 
The Compensation Committee retained the services of Compensia to outline executive compensation trends and developments, review and analyze the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and programs, and provide a summary of findings and considerations for use in fiscal year 2025. The Compensation Committee also retained Compensia to review non-executive director compensation.  Compensia reported directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee directly approved Compensia’s fees. Management had no role in the selection of the compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee believes that Compensia’s advice was independent and did not raise any conflicts of interest. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered all factors relevant to Compensia’s independence from management. Compensia provided the Compensation Committee with a review of the overall compensation climate in the United States, best practices, and trends specific to our industry. Compensia provided analyses of base salaries, bonuses, long-term incentives and benefit practices of comparable peer companies.
 
Results of Fiscal Year 2024 Stockholder Advisory Vote
 
10

Table of Contents
At our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved our say-on-pay proposal with approximately 98.03% of the votes in favor of the fiscal year 2024 compensation of our NEOs. We believe this vote signals strong overall support for our compensation program and its general design and, considering our stockholders’ strong support of our most recent say-on-pay proposal, the Compensation Committee did not undertake fundamental changes to our executive compensation programs following the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
 
The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor and consider the results of our annual advisory say‑on‑pay proposals and feedback received from stockholders when making compensation decisions and considering any changes to our compensation programs.
 
Peer Group
 
In 2025 the Compensation Committee reviewed a peer group of publicly traded technology and media companies, focusing primarily on market capitalization and considering revenue levels. The table below shows our 2025 peer group which were selected based on these metrics:
 
Braze, Inc.
Roku, Inc.
Bumble Inc.
Rumble Inc.
CarGurus, Inc.
Smartsheet Inc.
DocuSign, Inc.
Sprout Social, Inc.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc.
Toast, Inc.
Dropbox, Inc.
Tripadvisor, Inc.
Duolingo, Inc.
Yelp Inc.
Etsy Inc.
Ziff Davis, Inc.
IAC Inc.
Zillow Group, Inc.
Match Group, Inc.
ZoomInfo Technologies Inc.
 
Compensation Components

Compensia presented analyses indicating that, at the time of review, market cash compensation levels had generally increased year‑over‑year while annual equity usage remained prevalent as the primary long‑term element. The Compensation Committee used this information as a reference point and considered internal equity, role scope, and retention when setting base salaries and sizing annual equity awards.
 
Our executive compensation program consists of the following elements: base salary and equity awards.  We did not pay annual cash bonuses in 2025.
 
Base Salary
 
The NEOs receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities.
 
The Base salary for the NEOs was established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account relevant experience, internal pay equity, tenure, and other factors deemed relevant. Base salaries are adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.
 
Effective October 1, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved base salaries of $1,000,000 for Mr. Nunes and $550,000 for Messrs. Juhan, Novachki, and Glabe.  Messrs. Nunes’ and Novachki’s base salaries were unchanged.  The other NEOs base salaries were adjusted to promote internal equity and more closely reflect market positioning for their roles while maintaining a pay mix emphasizing equity.

The Compensation Committee reviewed our executives’ annual base salary and increased Messrs. Juhan’s and Glabe’s annual base salaries to $550,000, effective as of October 1, 2025.

(2)
The Compensation Committee reviewed our executives’ annual base salary and increased Mr. Novachki’s annual base salary to $550,000, and Mr. Juhan’s and Mr. Glabe’s base salary to $480,000, effective as of October 1, 2024.
 
Equity-Based Compensation
 
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity awards provide the executive officers with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity awards with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes the executive officers to remain in employment during the applicable vesting period. Accordingly, the Board and/or the Compensation Committee periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of the named executive officers and from time to time may grant equity incentive awards to them.
 
On August 6, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved 2025 annual restricted stock unit (RSU) awards for NEOs with the following target grant date values: $6,480,000 for Mr. Nunes and $2,650,000 for each of Messrs. Juhan, Novachki, and Glabe.  The number of RSUs for each NEO is determined by dividing the approved dollar value by the 30‑day volume‑weighted average price (VWAP) as reported by Bloomberg for the period immediately preceding August 6, 2025. These RSUs vest in three substantially equal annual installments on May 27, 2026, May 27, 2027, and May 22, 2028, subject to continued service and the terms of the applicable award agreement and the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective April 30, 2025). Additionally, as further described below, Mr. Nunes’ Separation Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of 96,721 time-based RSUs granted on August 6, 2025, with all other unvested RSUs forfeited.
 
Employee Benefits and Perquisites

We currently maintain health and welfare plans (including medical, dental and vision plans) for all of our full-time employees, including the named executive officers.

We currently provide Messrs. McGurn, Juhan, Novachki, and Glabe with reasonable business reimbursement expenses, and health and welfare benefits that are provided to all of our employees. Other than these benefits, we do not provide any perquisites to the NEOs.

Severance Arrangements

In line with our objective to retain our NEOs and incentivize them to continue to focus and remain dedicated to their responsibilities and to maximize stockholder value, we have entered into employment agreements with our NEOs that provide for certain severance payments in connection with certain termination events. For further information about severance arrangements with our NEOs, please see below under “Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
 
Compensation-Related Governance Policies
 
Compensation Recovery Policy
 
12

Table of Contents
We maintain a Compensation Recovery Policy in accordance with the requirements of SEC and the rules and listing standards of Nasdaq and NYSE Texas, which provide for the recoupment of certain incentive-based compensation received by our CEO and other Section 16 executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws. The amount of incentive-based compensation recovered will be the amount by which the incentive-based compensation received by the executive during the three fiscal years preceding the date on which the Board or our Compensation Committee determines that a financial restatement is required exceeds the amount that would have been received if it had been calculated based on the financial restatement.
 
Insider Trading Policy
 
The Company has an Insider Trading Policy which prohibits Covered Persons (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy) from buying or selling the Company’s securities while the Covered Person is aware of material nonpublic information about the Company. The Insider Trading Policy also prohibits trading in puts, calls, straddles, equity swaps or other derivative securities, including exchange funds, that are directly linked to our securities (sometimes referred to as “hedging”). The Company believes that its Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable listing standards.

Compensation Committee Report
 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K of the SEC’s rules and regulations with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment No. 1 to our 2025 Form 10-K.

On May 10, 2022, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Devin Nunes to be effective as of January 2, 2022, pursuant to which Mr. Nunes served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Nunes Agreement”). The Nunes Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $1,000,000, effective as of October 1, 2025, with eligibility to participate in the annual bonus plan, if any, and an initial incentive equity grant of 145,000 RSUs. Any annual bonus and RSUs will remain subject to vesting and other terms as the Board determines in its discretion.

Table of Contents
Following our issuance of the executive promissory note to Mr. Nunes, prior to the closing of the business combination, which occurred on March 25, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Digital World, and the other parties thereto (the “Closing”), we amended the Nunes Agreement in March 2024 to provide that (i) following and contingent upon the Closing, Mr. Nunes would receive a retention bonus in the amount of $600,000, payable in a lump sum within 30 days after the Closing, (ii) Mr. Nunes would not receive the 145,000 RSUs described in the Nunes Agreement but would be eligible to receive discretionary equity awards pursuant to the 2024 Plan, and (iii) the Company acknowledged the executive promissory note, which was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Closing.

In connection with his separation from the Company on April 21, 2026, the Company and Mr. Nunes entered into a Separation and Release Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2026 (the “Separation Agreement”), which supersedes the severance provisions of the Nunes Agreement. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Nunes with continuation of his base salary through September 30, 2026. Additionally, the Separation Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of 96,721 time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Nunes on August 6, 2025 under the Company’s 2024 Amended & Restated Equity Incentive Plan, and the forfeiture of all other unvested equity. In addition, to the extent not already paid, Mr. Nunes is entitled to receive the accrued benefits provided under the Nunes Agreement, which include any unpaid base salary, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, and all other accrued and vested payments, benefits, or fringe benefits required to be paid under applicable plans or by law, including payment for all accrued vacation. As a condition to receiving the separation benefits described above, Mr. Nunes agreed to execute a general release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and other related parties. The Separation Agreement also includes confidentiality, trade secret, nondisparagement and other restrictive covenants.

Kevin McGurn Employment Agreement

On April 21, 2026, the Board appointed Kevin J. McGurn to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with Mr. McGurn’s appointment, the Company and Mr. McGurn entered into an Employment Agreement, effective as of April 21, 2026 (the “McGurn Agreement”). The McGurn Agreement provides for an initial employment term of nine months (the “Initial Employment Term”).  During the Initial Employment Term, Mr. McGurn will receive a base salary of $125,000 per month (“Monthly Base Salary”). Mr. McGurn will also receive an award of 146,198 RSUs. Subject to Mr. McGurn’s continued employment, the RSUs will vest in substantially equal monthly installments during the Initial Employment Term. If Mr. McGurn’s employment term ends as a result of Mr. McGurn ’s termination without cause (as defined in the McGurn Agreement), Mr. McGurn  will, subject to signing a release, remain entitled to the Monthly Base Salary through the end of the Initial Employment Term and all outstanding RSUs will fully vest. If Mr. McGurn’s employment term ends as a result of a termination for cause or as a result of his death or disability (each as defined in the McGurn Agreement), Mr. McGurn will be entitled to receive the accrued benefits provided under the McGurn Agreement, which include, among other things, any unpaid base salary through the termination date, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, and all other accrued and vested payments. After the full completion of the Initial Employment Term, the Company has the option to continue Mr. McGurn’s employment on a month-to-month basis. If the parties do not agree to appoint Mr. McGurn to a permanent CEO position, with the terms of such arrangement to be negotiated, at the end of the employment term, the parties have agreed to enter into a 12-month consulting agreement at $50,000 per month for purposes of ensuring continuity of Mr. McGurn’s services.

Phillip Juhan Employment Agreement

On August 6, 2021, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Phillip Juhan to be effective as of July 7, 2021 (as amended on December 31, 2021 and March 8, 2024) (the “Juhan Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Juhan serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Juhan Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $550,000, effective as of October 1, 2025, with eligibility to participate in the annual bonus plan, if any, and an initial incentive equity grant of 520,000 RSUs. Any annual bonus and RSUs will remain subject to vesting and other terms as the Board determines in its discretion. Mr. Juhan is entitled to receive certain severance benefits upon certain types of qualifying termination events pursuant to the Juhan Agreement. For more information, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Mr. Novachki is entitled to receive certain severance benefits upon certain types of qualifying termination events pursuant to the Novachki Agreement. For more information, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Following our issuance of the executive promissory note to Mr. Novachki prior to the Closing, we amended the Novachki Agreement in March 2024 to provide that (i) Mr. Novachki would serve as Chief Technology Officer, (ii) following and contingent upon the Closing, Mr. Novachki would receive a retention bonus in the amount of $600,000, payable in a lump sum within 30 days after the Closing, (iii) Mr. Novachki would not receive the 75,000 RSUs described in the Novachki Agreement but would be eligible to receive discretionary equity awards pursuant to the 2024 Plan, and (v) the Company acknowledged the executive promissory note, which was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Closing.

The Compensation Committee reviewed our executives’ annual base salary and increased Mr. Novachki’s annual base salary to $550,000, effective as of October 1, 2024.

Scott Glabe Employment Agreement

On March 23, 2022, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Scott Glabe to be effective as of April 1, 2022 (the “Glabe Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Glabe serves as the General Counsel of the Company. The Glabe Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $550,000, effective as of October 1, 2025, with eligibility to participate in the annual bonus plan, if any, and an initial incentive equity grant of 30,000 RSUs. Any annual bonus and RSUs will remain subject to vesting and other terms as the Board determines in its discretion. Mr. Glabe is entitled to receive certain severance benefits upon certain types of qualifying termination events pursuant to the Glabe Agreement. For more information, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Following our issuance of the executive promissory note to Mr. Glabe prior to the Closing, we amended the Glabe Agreement in March 2024 to provide that (i) following and contingent upon the Closing, Mr. Glabe would receive a retention bonus in the amount of $600,000, payable in a lump sum within 30 days after the Closing, (ii) Mr. Glabe would not receive the 30,000 RSUs described in the Glabe Agreement but will be eligible to receive discretionary equity awards pursuant to the 2024 Plan, and (iii) the Company acknowledged the executive promissory note, which was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Closing.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Under the Nunes Agreement, Juhan Agreement, Novachki Agreement, and Glabe Agreement, severance is payable upon a termination of employment by the Company without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason” (both terms as defined in the employment agreements).

Summary of Severance Benefits:


Mr. Nunes: Upon his separation from the Company pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Nunes is entitled to continuation of his base salary from April 21, 2026, through September 30, 2026. Additionally, the Separation Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of 96,721 time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Nunes on August 6, 2025 under the Company’s 2024 Amended & Restated Equity Incentive Plan, and the forfeiture of all other unvested equity.

Mr. Juhan: Upon a termination by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Juhan for Good Reason, he is entitled to (i) accrued obligations and (ii) cash severance equal to six months of base salary. Based on his fiscal year 2025 annual base salary of $550,000, the cash severance would be $275,000.

Mr. Novachki: Upon a termination, during the term of the Novachki Agreement, by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Novachki for Good Reason, he is entitled to (i) accrued obligations and (ii) cash severance equal to one month of base salary. Based on his current annual base salary of $550,000, the cash severance would be $45,833.

Mr. Glabe: Upon a termination, during the term of the Glabe Agreement, by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Glabe for Good Reason, he is entitled to (i) accrued obligations and (ii) cash severance equal to three months of base salary. Based on his current annual base salary of $550,000, the cash severance would be $137,500.

Although Messrs. Juhan, Novachki, and Glabe’s employment agreements do not provide for additional benefits upon a change in control, their equity awards provide for the immediate full vesting of all unvested RSUs upon a Qualifying Termination (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 30, 2025) following a change in control.

The following table sets forth information concerning the payments and benefits that would be made to our NEOs assuming a Qualifying Termination following a change in control occurred on December 31, 2025.

The table contains Mr. Nunes’ potential payments upon a Qualifying Termination following a change in control.  However, the Separation Agreement contains certain provisions which supersede the amounts in the table above. Pursuant to such terms, the Company will provide Mr. Nunes with continuation of his base salary from April 21, 2026, through September 30, 2026. Additionally, the Separation Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of 96,721 RSUs granted to Mr. Nunes on August 6, 2025 under the Company’s 2024 Amended & Restated Equity Incentive Plan, and the forfeiture of all other unvested equity.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our CEO) and the annual total compensation of Devin Nunes, who served as our CEO as of December 31, 2025. For 2025, our last completed year, the annual total compensation in 2025 of our CEO was approximately 3.65 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our other employees, other than our CEO (the “Pay Ratio”). The median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our CEO) was $1,825,057.  For the purposes of the Pay Ratio calculation, we used our CEO’s total compensation as outlined in the “Summary Compensation Table” above, for a total of $6,658,580.

The Company chose December 31, 2025 as the date for establishing the employee population used in identifying the median employee and used the 12-month period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 as the measurement period. We identified the median employee using the consistently applied compensation measure of the wages and other compensation as reported in Box 1 of Form W-2 and the RSUs as based on the fair market value on the date of grant for 2025 for each employee. Permanent employees who joined in 2025 and permanent employees who were on leave during 2025 were assumed to have worked for the entire measurement period. We captured all employees as of December 31, 2025, consisting of approximately 37 individuals. No cost-of-living adjustments were made. The annual total compensation of the median employee and the annual total compensation of our CEO were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

Practices Related to the Grant of Equity Awards


In accordance with Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information regarding our procedures related to the grant of stock options close in time to the release of material non-public information. It is our policy that neither our Board nor our Compensation Committee takes material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards, nor do we time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of impacting the value of executive compensation. During fiscal 2025, there were no stock option or stock appreciation right awards granted to any named executive officers within four business days preceding, or one business day after, the filing of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The objectives of our Board compensation program are to provide compensation that is competitive with the compensation paid by peer companies so that we may attract and retain high quality non-employee directors and to encourage ownership of our common stock to further align their interests with those of our stockholders.  Mr. Nunes did not receive additional compensation for his Board service during his tenure with the Company. Our director compensation program provides the following compensation for non-employee directors:

An annual cash retainer, reviewed annually, and earned and payable in equal quarterly installments, which was $48,250 for the period of March 2025 to March 2026.
Effective beginning March 2025, annual restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards for incumbent directors with a value of $215,000 (vesting quarterly over one year) and an initial grant with a value of $430,000 for new directors (vesting quarterly over three years) based on the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs issued was determined by dividing the value of the RSU award by the VWAP (as defined below) as of the date of the Compensation Committee’s recommendation, i.e., August 6, 2025 (the “Recommendation Date”). “VWAP” means the volume weighted average price of a common share as reported by Bloomberg for the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the Recommendation Date.
Effective for the period March 2025 to March 2026, Directors received additional committee chair annual compensation equal to $24,500 (Audit Committee), $17,500 (Compensation Committee) and $10,000 (Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), in a quarterly cash retainer reflected in the table below, earned and payable in equal installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter. Members of these committees also receive additional compensation equal to $11,000 (Audit Committee), $7,500 (Compensation Committee) and $5,000 (Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee) in a quarterly cash retainer reflected in the table below, earned and payable in equal installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Security Ownership of Principal Stockholders

The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of TMTG common stock as of the date hereof, by:

each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of TMTG’s outstanding common stock;
each of TMTG’s NEOs; and
all executive officers and directors of TMTG as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

21

Table of Contents
In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of common stock subject to warrants and convertible notes held by the person that are currently exercisable or convertible or may be exercised or converted within 60 days of April 28, 2026. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

This table is based upon TMTG’s shareholder registry and information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the following table and subject to community property laws where applicable, TMTG believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. Applicable percentages are based on 276,953,828 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 28, 2026.

The business address of each of our directors and officers is 401 N. Cattlemen Rd., Ste. 200, Sarasota, Florida 34232.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Our Board has adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which our company or any of our subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” means:

any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our executive officers or one of our directors;
any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting stock;
any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting stock; and
any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal, or in a similar position, or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

We have policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings we may have with our affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. Specifically, pursuant to our Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee has the responsibility to review related party transactions.

Digital World Arrangements

An affiliate of ARC Global Investments II, LLC agreed, commencing from the date when Digital World’s IPO registration statement was declared effective through the earlier of Digital World’s consummation of a business combination or its liquidation, to make available to Digital World certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services, as Digital World required from time to time. Digital World agreed to pay the affiliate $15,000 per month for these services. The agreement was terminated on April 5, 2023, and $221,000 remained unpaid under the agreement as of December 31, 2025.

License Agreement

TMTG Sub Inc., formerly known as Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (“TMTG Sub”) entered into a royalty-free license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with President Donald J. Trump and DTTM Operations, LLC, an entity that licenses President Donald J. Trump’s name and regulates his personal media assets and is beneficially wholly owned by President Donald J. Trump. The License Agreement required TMTG Sub to pay $100 upon the execution of this License Agreement and that such amount constituted full consideration and a fully paid-up royalty covering the entire term of the License Agreement for the licenses granted in the License Agreement. TMTG Sub did not, and, as of the date of this Report, TMTG Sub has not, paid any other amounts to President Donald J. Trump pursuant to the License Agreement.

Under the License Agreement, as amended, TMTG Sub has a royalty-free license to use “Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.” as its name. In addition, TMTG Sub has a royalty-free license to use the name and likeness of President Donald J. Trump, solely as necessary for TMTG Sub to commercialize Truth Social. The License Agreement prohibits use of President Donald J. Trump’s name or likeness for any other purpose and specifically excludes any use in connection with political activities, including political messaging, political fundraising, get-out-the-vote efforts and uses that are controlled by or supportive of any political committees, candidates, policies or initiatives or associated with advocacy or electioneering. All uses of (and any modifications to) President Donald J. Trump’s name or likeness are subject to his prior approval. Further, the quality of any products or services offered under the License Agreement in connection with President Donald J. Trump’s name or likeness is subject to his control, and those products or services must in any event satisfy the highest standards for quality and reputation. The rights granted to use President Donald J. Trump’s name and likeness do not extend to any other member of his family.

President Donald J. Trump has agreed to channel non-political communications and posts coming from his personal profile to the Truth Social platform before posting that same social media communication and/or post to any other social media platform that is not Truth Social until the expiration of the “DJT/TMTG Social Media 6-Hour Exclusive” which means the period commencing when President Donald J. Trump posts any social media communication onto the Truth Social platform and ending six hours thereafter; provided that he may post social media communications from his personal profile that he deems, in his sole discretion, to be politically-related on any social media site at any time, regardless of whether that post originates from a personal account. As president, most or all of President Donald J. Trump’s social media posts may be deemed by him to be politically related. Consequently, TMTG may lack any meaningful remedy if President Donald J. Trump minimizes his use of Truth Social. Additionally, none of the limitations or exclusivity contained in the License Agreement will apply to any business ventures of President Donald J. Trump or The Trump Organization or their respective affiliates.

Unless notice is given, the term of the DJT/TMTG Social Media 6-Hour Exclusive (the “TMTG Social Media Exclusivity Term”) extends in perpetuity for additional 180-day terms. In the event of a force majeure as described in the License Agreement that lasts longer than three days, or if the TMTG Platform is not available to President Donald J. Trump for a period of three or more consecutive days, President Donald J. Trump will have the right to invoke the suspension of the “DJT/TMTG Social Media 6-Hour Exclusive.” If the TMTG Social Media Exclusivity Term were to expire but the License Agreement remained in effect, President Donald J. Trump would be required to post non-political communications contemporaneously to Truth Social and Non-TMTG Social Media. However, that obligation would also exempt any communications that President Donald J. Trump deems, in his sole discretion, to be politically-related.

President Donald J. Trump has the right to terminate the License Agreement if (i) the quality of any product or service falls below the required level and is not restored immediately (but not later than 30 days) after notification or (ii) TMTG Sub causes or permits (a) any use of President Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness or other characteristic in any manner that denigrates or ridicules the name, image or reputation of President Donald J. Trump, any member of his family, or any of his or her business properties, (b) uses of such name, likeness or other characteristic other than as permitted in the License Agreement, (c) alterations or distortions of such name, likeness or other characteristic without President Donald J. Trump’s written consent, or (d) creation of any direct, indirect or implied endorsement or commercial tie-in with any product or service that is not offered by TMTG Sub, and the applicable foregoing condition ((a)-(d)) is not cured within thirty days after notice. The license is in any event revocable by President Donald J. Trump and subject to all of the conditions and limitations in the License Agreement.

The term of the License Agreement will continue in perpetuity, except that it may be terminated by TMTG Sub for convenience or by President Donald J. Trump for a breach of TMTG Sub’s obligation to ensure that any products or services offered or marketed using President Donald J. Trump’s name or likeness meet the highest standards of quality and reputation if such breach is not cured immediately (but no later than 30 days) after notification.

President Donald J. Trump has agreed not to compete with Truth Social by founding, developing or obtaining a controlling interest in a social media platform that includes one or more material features that directly compete with any of the material features of Truth Social. President Donald J. Trump may otherwise compete with Truth Social, including by managing or otherwise working with any other social media platform.

TMTG Sub may not terminate the License Agreement based on the personal or political conduct of President Donald J. Trump, even if such conduct could negatively reflect on TMTG Sub’s reputation or brand or be considered offensive, dishonest, illegal, immoral, or unethical, or otherwise harmful to TMTG Sub’s brand or reputation. Further, TMTG Sub may be obligated to indemnify President Donald J. Trump for any losses of any type that relate in any way to the License Agreement, including any such losses attributable to President Donald J. Trump’s own offensive, dishonest, illegal, immoral, unethical or otherwise harmful conduct.

Indemnification Agreements

TMTG has entered into or intends to enter into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement provides for the indemnification and advancement by TMTG of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from service to TMTG or, at its request, service to other entities, as officers or directors, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements

On March 25, 2024, each of the Company’s directors and officers entered into a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement in favor of TMTG. Under the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, each Significant Company Holder has agreed that, for a period of (i) four years, it will not engage in any business activity similar to, or competitive with, the business conducted by TMTG or its affiliates, in particular, Truth Social and the business of developing and operating media platforms for social media and digital video streaming, and of developing and operating products and services relating and incidental thereto or any other business being conducted by TMTG or any of its subsidiaries, as of the Closing Date, and (ii) three years, it will not, directly or indirectly (a) hire, engage, solicit, induce or encourage certain employees, independent contractors, consultants, or other certain personnel to leave TMTG; or (b) in any way interfere with or attempt to interfere with the relationship between such persons and TMTG.

Director Independence

An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Bernhardt, Green, and Holding, and Ms. O’Rourke are “independent directors” as defined in the rules and listing standards of Nasdaq and NYSE Texas and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy

It is the Audit Committee’s policy to approve in advance the types and amounts of audit, audit-related, tax and any other services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. In situations where it is not possible to obtain full Audit Committee approval, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chair of the Audit Committee to grant pre-approval of auditing, audit-related, tax and all other services. Any pre-approved decisions by the Chair are required to be reviewed by the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee approved all of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP’s services for 2025 and, in doing so, considered whether the provision of such services was compatible with maintaining independence.

FAQ

Why did Trump Media (DJT) file this 10-K/A amendment?

Trump Media filed the 10-K/A to add required Part III information that was originally expected to come from its 2026 proxy statement. Because the proxy will not be filed within 120 days of year-end, the company instead includes director, officer, compensation, and ownership details here.

What leadership changes does Trump Media (DJT) disclose in this filing?

The filing notes Devin Nunes’ separation as CEO in April 2026 and Kevin McGurn’s appointment as interim CEO under a nine‑month agreement. It also shows Boris Epshteyn as board chair and lists new and continuing directors, including Donald J. Trump Jr., David Bernhardt, W. Kyle Green, George Holding, and Meredith O’Rourke.

How are Trump Media (DJT) executives compensated according to the 10-K/A?

Executives receive base salaries plus time‑based RSU awards, with no 2025 annual cash bonuses. For example, effective October 1, 2025, base pay was $1,000,000 for Devin Nunes and $550,000 for Phillip Juhan, Vladimir Novachki, and Scott Glabe, alongside multi‑million‑dollar RSU grants vesting over several years.

What is the CEO-to-median employee pay ratio at Trump Media (DJT)?

For 2025, the CEO’s total compensation of $6,658,580 was about 3.65 times the median employee’s $1,825,057. The company calculated this using 2025 W‑2 wages plus RSU grant values for approximately 37 employees, with both figures determined under SEC Item 402 rules.

How much stock do insiders and Donald J. Trump’s trust own in Trump Media (DJT)?

As of April 28, 2026, there were 276,953,828 DJT shares outstanding. Donald J. Trump Jr. beneficially owns 114,787,498 shares (about 41%), and the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust holds 114,750,000 shares (also about 41%). Directors and current executive officers collectively control about 42% of outstanding shares.

What equity plans and RSU grants does Trump Media (DJT) describe?

The company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan had 3,164,030 shares subject to outstanding rights and 7,943,951 shares available for future issuance at December 31, 2025. In August 2025, the compensation committee approved large RSU grants, including 348,199 units to Devin Nunes and 142,396 units each to three other named executives.

What is included in Devin Nunes’ separation arrangements with Trump Media (DJT)?

Under an April 21, 2026 Separation and Release Agreement, Devin Nunes receives continued base salary through September 30, 2026 and accelerated vesting of 96,721 time‑based RSUs granted August 6, 2025, with all other unvested equity forfeited. He also receives accrued salary, expenses, and benefits, subject to a broad release and restrictive covenants.
