Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Iridex Corp CFO Romeo R. Dizon filed an amended Form 4 reporting two significant equity transactions on June 13, 2025:

• Acquired 22,500 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) at $0.94 per share, with vesting over three years starting June 13, 2026 (one-third annually)
• Received stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.94, vesting over three years and expiring June 13, 2032

Following these transactions, Dizon directly owns 37,745 shares and 75,000 stock options. This amended filing corrects a previous Form 4 filed on June 17, 2025. The equity awards were granted under the company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and are exempt under Rule 16b-3. These grants appear to be part of executive compensation arrangements, demonstrating long-term alignment with shareholder interests through multi-year vesting schedules.
