The grants include 32,773 restricted stock units that vest one-fourth on May 12, 2026 and annually thereafter, 32,773 performance-based restricted stock units payable at target (the Reporting Person could earn 0%-150% of the reported amount, further multiplied by between 0.5 to 1.5) based on performance as of December 31, 2027 and vesting at 100% on a change in control prior to that date, and an option to purchase 55,583 shares with a stated exercise price of $3.21 that vests one-fourth on May 12, 2026 and annually thereafter. Each reported position is listed as direct ownership.
- Awards granted under the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan as part of the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Program, indicating a formal compensation framework
- Performance-based RSUs include an explicit target and a disclosed payout range (0%-150%) with an additional multiplier, aligning some pay to measurable outcomes
- Time-based vesting for RSUs and options (one-fourth vests on May 12, 2026 and annually thereafter) provides retention incentives
- Potential share impact: reported underlying amounts total 121,129 shares (32,773 + 32,773 + 55,583), which could dilute existing holders if fully vested/exercised
- Complex payout formula for performance RSUs (0%-150% range multiplied by 0.5–1.5) creates uncertainty about final share delivery
Insights
TL;DR: CFO received time-based and performance equity awards totaling 121,129 underlying shares, with multi-year vesting and a $3.21 option price.
The filings show a mix of time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options granted to the CFO under the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan tied to the 2025 LTIP. The time-based awards and option vest one-quarter on May 12, 2026 and annually thereafter, creating a standard four-year vesting schedule. The performance RSUs are reported at target with a disclosed payout range and a separate multiplier, and vest based on performance as of December 31, 2027 or immediately at 100% upon an earlier change in control. From an investor perspective, these awards are typical retention and incentive instruments; the filing does not disclose company-wide share counts, so the proportional dilution cannot be determined from this form alone.
TL;DR: Grants combine time-based vesting with performance conditions and change-in-control protections, aligning pay with multi-year outcomes.
The award structure explicitly ties a portion of compensation to multi-year performance metrics and retains standard change-in-control vesting features. The performance RSUs identify a target payout and a 0%-150% performance range plus an additional 0.5x–1.5x multiplier, which creates conditional upside but also complexity in final share delivery. The disclosures are clear about direct ownership and vesting triggers, but the form does not provide total outstanding shares or mention potential accounting expense, so governance assessment is limited to award mechanics disclosed here.
