Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Latch, Inc. updated its equity award documents and granted new restricted stock units to key executives under its 2021 Incentive Award Plan. The company adopted revised forms for RSU, stock option, and common stock agreements that clarify vesting, exercisability, settlement, forfeiture, and other terms.

The Compensation Committee also approved time-based RSU awards for Principal Executive Officer Dave Lillis, Principal Financial Officer Jeff Mayfield, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Ryan Salmons. They received 968,179, 130,000, and 500,000 RSUs, with grant-date fair values of approximately $193,636, $26,000, and $100,000, respectively, based on the closing stock price.

For each executive, a vesting commencement date precedes the grant date, so part of the awards was already vested at grant to reflect prior service while the company’s Form S-8 registration was suspended. The remaining RSUs vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over the rest of a three-year period, subject to continued service.

restricted stock units financial
"The RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement provide for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
vesting commencement date financial
"permit the Compensation Committee or the Board to designate a vesting commencement date that precedes the grant date"
The vesting commencement date is the starting point when an employee begins earning ownership rights to their promised benefits, such as stock options or retirement contributions. Think of it like the day a savings account is opened—only after this date do the benefits start to grow and become fully available over time. It matters to investors because it marks when the clock begins ticking toward full ownership, affecting the timing and value of these benefits.
grant-date fair values financial
"The grant-date fair values of the awards for Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons were approximately $193,636, $26,000, and $100,000"
Form S-8 regulatory
"during which period the Company was unable to grant equity awards because its registration statement on Form S-8 was suspended"
A Form S-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registration that lets a public company set aside shares for employee benefit plans and stock-based compensation. Think of it as opening a dedicated account that authorizes the company to issue or reserve stock for workers and directors; it matters to investors because it enables share dilution when those awards are granted or exercised and signals how management is compensated and incentivized.

New Form of Award Agreements

 

On June 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an updated form of restricted stock unit grant notice and agreement (the “RSU Agreement”), an updated form of stock option grant notice and agreement (the “Stock Option Agreement”), and a new form of common stock grant notice and agreement (the “Common Stock Agreement”) (collectively, the “Award Agreements”) under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”). These forms may be used for equity awards granted to the Company’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, and constitute material compensatory plans or arrangements within the meaning of Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.

 

The RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement provide for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options, respectively, of the Company that may be subject to vesting over time. The vesting of the RSUs and stock options is subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service through the vesting date of such equity awards.

 

The RSU Agreement and Stock Option Agreement permit the Compensation Committee or the Board to designate a vesting commencement date that precedes the grant date for purposes of calculating vesting, while maintaining the actual grant date for all other purposes, including determining fair market value.

 

The Award Agreements set forth the terms and conditions applicable to equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan, including vesting conditions, exercisability, settlement, forfeiture, transfer restrictions, and related rights and obligations of the award recipients. In addition, the RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement include the following modifications to the prior forms adopted by the Board:

 

·The timing and mechanics of settlement of the awards are revised and intended to comply with the short-term deferral exemption under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code permitting the Company to delay settlement or delivery of shares where necessary to comply with applicable law, securities law requirements or stock exchange listing standards;
·Expanded permitted methods to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations, including net share withholding and other Company-approved methods permitted under the 2021 Plan; and
·Additional administrative procedures relating to the settlement of awards following a participant’s termination of service.

 

The RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement also include various administrative, clarifying, and conforming revisions. Copies of the RSU Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement, and the Common Stock Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Award Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits. Except as expressly described above, the 2021 Plan remains unchanged and in full force and effect. The Award Agreements are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

RSU Grants to Executives

 

On June 12, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved grants of time-based restricted stock units under the Company’s 2021 Plan to Dave Lillis, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer, Jeff Mayfield, the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, and Ryan Salmons, the Company’s Chief Product and Technology Officer. These individuals are executive officers of the Company, and the awards therefore constitute material compensatory arrangements reportable under Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.

 

Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons were granted 968,179, 130,000, and 500,000 RSUs, respectively (the “Executive RSUs”). The grant-date fair values of the awards for Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons were approximately $193,636, $26,000, and $100,000, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For vesting purposes only, Mr. Lillis’ RSU award has a vesting commencement date of July 13, 2023 and 887,497 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date; Mr. Mayfield’s RSU award has a vesting commencement date of September 5, 2023 and 119,167 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date; and Mr. Salmons’ RSU award has a vesting commencement date of December 31, 2024 and 208,333 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date. However, the grant date for the Executive RSUs is used for all other purposes, including determining fair market value. The Compensation Committee approved these vesting commencement dates to reflect service provided by each executive following such executive’s hire or promotion, during which period the Company was unable to grant equity awards because its registration statement on Form S-8 was suspended. As a result of this vesting structure, as noted above, a portion of each executive’s Executive RSUs vested on the grant date, representing the amount that would have vested between the applicable vesting commencement date and the grant date if the award had been granted on the vesting commencement date. The remaining portion of each executive’s Executive RSUs will vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over the remainder of a three-year vesting period, subject to the executive’s continued service through each applicable vesting date.

 

The Executive RSUs were granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan and the RSU Agreement. Copies of the RSU Agreements for Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons are filed as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Executive RSUs does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

FAQ

What did Latch, Inc. (LTCH) change in its equity award agreements?

Latch adopted updated forms for RSU and stock option agreements and a new common stock grant agreement. These documents set detailed terms for vesting, exercisability, settlement, forfeiture, transfer limits, and participant rights under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan.

Which Latch (LTCH) executives received new restricted stock unit grants?

Time-based RSUs were granted to Principal Executive Officer Dave Lillis, Principal Financial Officer Jeff Mayfield, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Ryan Salmons. These grants are considered material compensatory arrangements because each recipient is an executive officer of Latch, Inc.

How many RSUs did Latch (LTCH) grant to each executive and what were the values?

Dave Lillis received 968,179 RSUs, Jeff Mayfield 130,000 RSUs, and Ryan Salmons 500,000 RSUs. Their grant-date fair values were approximately $193,636, $26,000, and $100,000, respectively, based on the closing price of Latch’s common stock on the grant date.

How does vesting work for the new Latch (LTCH) executive RSU awards?

Each award uses a vesting commencement date before the grant date, so some RSUs were vested at grant. The remaining units vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over the rest of a three-year period, contingent on each executive’s continued service with Latch.

Why did Latch (LTCH) backdate vesting commencement for these RSU grants?

The Compensation Committee selected earlier vesting commencement dates to recognize service after each executive’s hire or promotion, when Latch could not issue equity because its Form S-8 registration statement was suspended. The structure effectively catches up vesting for that service period.

Are Latch’s (LTCH) new awards subject to the existing 2021 Incentive Award Plan?

Yes. The updated RSU, stock option, and common stock agreements, as well as the executive RSU grants, are all granted under and subject to the terms of Latch’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, which otherwise remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
