PodcastOne, Inc. reported that independent director Jon Merriman received a grant of 250,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) in connection with his appointment as lead director of the board. The grant was approved under the company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended on April 8, 2026, and is subject to stockholder approval of that plan amendment at the 2026 annual meeting.
One-third of the RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the May 6, 2026 grant date, with the remaining thirds vesting on each of the next two anniversaries, so all units vest over three years if he continues as lead director. Each RSU represents a right to one share of common stock or its cash value, with the board deciding whether payout is in cash, stock, or a mix. Upon a Change of Control, all RSUs vest immediately before the transaction. The company states that the RSU issuance qualifies as an unregistered offering exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and/or Rule 701.
