Insights

Equity compensation and governance analyst

JFB grants significant stock and options to align CEO and leadership with shareholders over a multi‑year period.

JFB Construction Holdings granted 468,000 shares of common stock for services in the 2025 fiscal year, heavily weighted toward CEO Joseph F. Basile III with 300,000 shares and additional awards for other executives, directors, and employees. The shares were valued at $20.55 per share and issued under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, indicating a focus on equity-based compensation.

The board also approved 1,000,000 stock options for the CEO, with an exercise price at least equal to fair market value on the grant date. Vesting occurs in four equal tranches over 24 months, with full vesting upon a change of control and a term of up to ten years, subject to continued service. This structure ties a large portion of potential CEO upside to the company’s share performance and tenure, while the change-of-control vesting introduces a clear incentive feature if strategic transactions occur.
