discretionary bonus financial
"325,565 options were granted under the Issuer's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan as a discretionary bonus for services"

"200,000 options were granted under the Issuer's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan as long-term incentive compensation"
Long-term incentive compensation is pay awarded to executives or key employees that vests over multiple years and is tied to future company performance, often delivered as stock, options, or multi-year cash bonuses. Think of it as a multi-year reward plan that only pays out if certain goals are met, so it aligns managers’ interests with shareholders. Investors watch it because it affects future costs, share dilution and signals how leadership is motivated to grow value over time.
