Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement financial
"approved and adopted, (i) a new form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (“RSU Agreement”)"
A restricted stock unit (RSU) award agreement is a formal promise from a company that an employee or contractor will receive company shares (or cash equal to their value) after meeting certain conditions, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Investors care because RSUs can dilute existing shares when converted, reveal how management is paid and incentivized, and signal future share issuance that can affect earnings and stock value.
Restricted Stock Award Agreement financial
"a new form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “RSA Agreement”)"
A restricted stock award agreement is a legal contract that grants someone company shares that are subject to limits — for example, they may only become fully owned after working at the company for a set time, meeting performance goals, or otherwise satisfying conditions. For investors, these agreements matter because they shape insider incentives, future share dilution when restrictions lift, and company compensation costs; think of it like a gift locked in a box that opens only after certain conditions are met.
change in control financial
"vested units are settled upon a change in control or termination of service"
A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
reverse stock split financial
"effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, including stock held by the Company as treasury shares, at a ratio of 1-for-5 to 1-for-15"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
Authorized Stock Increase Proposal financial
"increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 shares (“Authorized Stock Increase Proposal”)"
Say-on-Pay Proposal financial
"An advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”)"

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

 

On May 22, 2026, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted, (i) a new form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (“RSU Agreement”) and (ii) a new form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “RSA Agreement”, and together with the RSU Agreement, the “Award Agreements”), in each case under the Company’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

 

The RSU Agreement provides for time-based vesting over a four-year period, with 25% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining portion vesting in substantially equal monthly installments thereafter, and generally provides that vested units are settled upon a change in control or termination of service, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The RSU Agreement also includes provisions providing for full vesting upon a change in control, limited accelerated vesting upon certain qualifying terminations, forfeiture of unvested units upon termination of service, and, in the case of a termination for cause, forfeiture of vested but unsettled units.

 

The RSA Agreement generally provides for time-based vesting on a specified vesting date, subject to continued service through such date, with unvested shares forfeited upon a termination of service prior to vesting, and includes customary restrictions on transfer and provisions regarding stockholder rights prior to vesting.

 

The Award Agreements will be used in connection with future grants of restricted stock units and restricted stock to the Company’s named executive officers and directors, as applicable.

 

The foregoing description of the Award Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of RSU Agreement and RSA Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The full text of the Plan is included in Exhibit 10.3.
