Insights

Compensation Specialist

TL;DR Grants combine performance-based and time-based equity to align pay with company results and retain the executive over four years.

The package includes a performance-linked PSU award where actual payout ranges from 0% to 200% of target, tying potential upside and downside directly to 2025 performance metrics under the 2025 PSU Plan. The 2,008 RSUs vest 25% annually over four years, a conventional retention vehicle conditioned on continued full-time service. These elements reflect standard market practices for balancing incentive and retention objectives.

Financial Analyst

TL;DR The disclosed grants quantify the immediate accounting grant-date values but do not provide broader financial impact or dilution metrics.

The filing specifies grant-date fair values of $48,294 for the PSUs and $96,280 for the RSUs, which indicates the company has calculated compensation expense for these awards at grant. The document does not include aggregate outstanding equity, projected expense recognition schedule, or dilution effects, so material financial impact on EPS or share count cannot be determined from this disclosure alone.
