Insights
Kidoz pairs 2025 results webcast with a sizable long-term equity compensation refresh.
Kidoz Inc. is using this update to outline how it compensates and retains key people. It plans 910,000 new stock options (about 0.69% of shares) alongside 6,775,000 RSUs, 100,000 PSUs, and 150,000 DSUs, together about 5.35% of outstanding shares.
The mix shifts emphasis toward RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs, which have more predictable accounting treatment than options and vest over time or on performance. This can better connect realized compensation to long-term company outcomes such as revenue growth, EBITDA, and shareholder return, while keeping overall grants within the 10% plan reserves under each of the Option and Equity Plans.
For shareholders, these awards introduce potential dilution of roughly 6% if all instruments settle in shares. The impact depends on future performance and retention benefits versus the additional share count. Upcoming 2025 financial results, to be discussed on the April 29, 2026 webcast, will provide context for how this incentive structure aligns with business momentum.

Equity Incentive Update
To enable the Company to reward success, aid in recruiting, and retain its current employees and consultants in a competitive technology market, the Company continues to grant equity incentives in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 4.4 and, subject to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange, in accordance with the Company’s 2024 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) and the Company’s Equity Awards Plan (the “Equity Plan”), each approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on November 25, 2025.
The Company’s compensation program includes a multi-component compensation framework comprising competitive salaries, cash bonuses, stock options, and equity-based awards, including Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), and Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”). This approach supports the attraction and retention of talent, while aligning incentives with long-term shareholder value. Equity-based awards are designed to reward sustained performance and support retention, while maintaining disciplined dilution within shareholder-approved limits.
Management believes that the Company’s proprietary technology and unique advertising inventory, combined with the continued growth of mobile entertainment as a primary consumer medium, positions the Company for continued growth and long-term value creation. In the fiscal year 2025, and prior to the date hereof, 3,726,000 stock option grants expired unexercised, of which 1,750,000 had been awarded to directors and officers of the Company.
For this year’s option grants, the Company is planning to issue to its staff and consultants stock option grants entitling them to purchase up to 910,000 common shares of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) exercisable at a price per share of CAD$0.01 above the closing market price per share on the date of grant. None of the options are awarded to directors and officers. In accordance with the Company’s overall compensation program, the options will vest monthly at 2% per month over their five (5) year term.
These stock option grants represent approximately 0.69% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares.
As of the date hereof, the Company has 13,130,450 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan, representing 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, and has 13,130,450 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan, representing 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares.
To better align the effective cost/performance value of the Company’s compensation program, the Company is implementing the Equity Plan. As a result, the Company announces that it is planning to issue an aggregate of 6,775,000 RSUs, 100,000 PSUs, and 150,000 DSUs to certain employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company, pursuant to the Equity Plan. The RSUs, PSUs and DSUs are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The RSUs, PSUs and DSUs offer a distinct accounting benefit due to their straightforward expense recognition. Unlike stock options, which require complex fair-value estimations that can fluctuate, RSUs result in a more predictable and transparent expense reporting. This clarity simplifies financial planning and aligns recognized costs with actual company performance, providing a stable financial picture.
Pursuant to the Equity Plan, the Company granted an aggregate of 6,775,000 RSUs to certain directors and officers, employees and consultants of the Company, of which 5,000,000 are awarded to directors and officers. The RSUs vest in 2029, with 100% vesting at that time, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company. Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to receive one Common Share or the cash equivalent thereof, at the discretion of the Company.
The Company granted an aggregate of 100,000 Performance PSUs to certain senior employees and consultants. The PSUs vest over a period of one (1) to three (3) years, subject to the achievement of performance criteria established by the board of directors of the Company, including but not limited to revenue growth, EBITDA targets, and/or total shareholder return metrics. Upon vesting and satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions, each PSU entitles the holder to receive one Common Share or the cash equivalent thereof, at the discretion of the Company.
The Company granted an aggregate of 150,000 DSUs to certain non-executive directors of the Company. The DSUs vest immediately upon grant and will be redeemed upon the holder ceasing to be a director of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plan. Each DSU entitles the holder to receive one (1) Common Share or the cash equivalent thereof.
These Equity Plan grants represent approximately 5.35% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares.
All of the foregoing awards are subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Plan, Equity Plan, and applicable award agreements, as well as approval by the board of directors of the Company and the TSX Venture Exchange.
