Insights

Compensation & Governance Analyst

Grant aligns executive incentives via multi-year vesting at a fixed strike.

The award is a standard time‑based stock option: 100,000 options with a strike of $11.49 and an expiration in 2035. The vesting schedule (25% at one year, then monthly over three additional years) ties value realization to continued service over four years.

The primary dependency is the stock price relative to the $11.49 strike; if market price remains below the strike the options have no intrinsic value. Investors can monitor outstanding option counts and potential dilution and track any related grant policies disclosed in periodic filings over the next 12–48 months.
