FAQ

What did PodcastOne (PODC) director Jay E. Krigsman receive in this Form 4?

Jay E. Krigsman received 42,053 Restricted Stock Units as compensation for serving on PodcastOne’s board. The grant covers his director service from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, and represents a non-cash equity award rather than an open-market share purchase.

When do Jay E. Krigsman’s PodcastOne RSUs vest and what do they represent?

The 42,053 Restricted Stock Units vested on March 31, 2026. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive either one share of PodcastOne common stock or the cash value of that share, depending on how the board decides to settle the award.

How will Krigsman’s PodcastOne RSU grant be settled for PODC?

Settlement of the 42,053 RSUs will be determined by PodcastOne’s board under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The board may choose cash, stock, or a combination, so the final form of compensation can vary while the total number of RSUs remains fixed.

Can PodcastOne director Jay E. Krigsman defer his RSU payout?

Yes. Krigsman may defer settlement of his 42,053 RSUs until he is no longer serving on PodcastOne’s board or for up to five years from the March 31, 2026 vesting date, providing flexibility in the timing of when he actually receives cash or shares.

Is this PodcastOne Form 4 a stock purchase or routine compensation grant?

This Form 4 reflects a routine compensation grant, not a stock purchase. The 42,053 Restricted Stock Units were awarded as director fees for board service, carry a zero grant price, and will be settled later in cash, stock, or both as determined under the equity plan.
