FAQ

What insider transaction did New Horizon Aircraft (HOVR) report for its CFO?

New Horizon Aircraft reported a grant of 312,500 performance share units to its Chief Financial Officer on February 10, 2026. These units are contingent equity awards that may convert into Class A ordinary shares if specific market capitalization and relative performance targets are achieved before expiration.

How many performance share units were granted to the HOVR Chief Financial Officer?

The Chief Financial Officer received 312,500 performance share units. Each unit represents a contingent right to one Class A ordinary share, without par value, of New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. Vesting depends on the company reaching market capitalization milestones and outperforming the Russell Microcap Index over a defined two-year period.

What market capitalization target affects vesting of HOVR’s CFO performance share units?

Half of the CFO’s performance share units vest based on a target company market capitalization of US$250,000,000. Vesting begins when New Horizon reaches 80% of this target, then increases on a straight-line basis until full vesting if the company achieves the entire US$250,000,000 target level.

How does New Horizon Aircraft’s stock performance versus the Russell Microcap Index impact vesting?

Fifty percent of the granted performance share units vest only if New Horizon’s Class A shares achieve a higher total return than the Russell Microcap Index. This comparison is measured over any two-year period starting on the grant date and ending before the units’ December 15, 2029 expiration.

When do the performance share units granted to HOVR’s CFO expire?

The performance share units granted to the Chief Financial Officer expire on December 15, 2029. Any units that have not vested under the market capitalization or relative total return conditions by that date will lapse, meaning they will no longer be eligible to convert into Class A ordinary shares.

What type of security was reported in the HOVR Form 4 filing?

The filing reported derivative securities described as performance share units. Each performance share unit represents a contingent right to receive one Class A ordinary share of New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., with vesting tied to both company market capitalization goals and relative stock performance versus the Russell Microcap Index.
