Q/C Technologies (QCLS) details board compensation, ownership and equity plans
Q/C Technologies, Inc. files Amendment No. 1 to its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 to add detailed Part III disclosures on directors, executive compensation, ownership and related-party transactions. The company reports an aggregate market value of non‑affiliate common equity of $3,616,742 on June 30, 2025, based on a $12.28 share price, and 7,853,429 common shares outstanding as of April 27, 2026.
The filing describes an eight‑member board, with a majority meeting Nasdaq independence standards and four standing committees overseeing audit, compensation, nominating/governance, and risk/disclosure. 2025 compensation for named executives includes $392,128 for Chief Medical Officer Mitchell Glass, $166,545 for Interim CFO Ian Rhodes, and $675,220 for Executive Chairman Joshua Silverman, reflecting cash salary plus equity awards such as restricted stock units and options.
The company highlights its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing 1,400,000 shares, with 1,064,166 shares remaining available as of December 31, 2025. Beneficial ownership data show concentrated holdings by entities such as PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. and Premas Biotech PVT Ltd. The amendment also discloses several private placements of preferred stock and warrants and consulting agreements with related parties, all subject to the firm’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.

Insights
Amendment formalizes governance, pay, ownership and related-party terms without changing core operations.
The amendment mainly supplies missing Part III information rather than new operating results. It codifies board structure, committee responsibilities and independence determinations under Nasdaq rules, which helps clarify how oversight of financial reporting, compensation and risk is organized.
Executive pay remains moderate in absolute dollars but includes meaningful equity, such as quarterly RSUs for the Executive Chairman under a new employment agreement and 2025 grants to key leaders. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, with 1.4 million authorized shares and just over 1 million still available, provides substantial capacity for future equity awards that could modestly dilute existing holders over time.
The ownership table confirms a highly concentrated register, with PharmaCyte Biotech holding a large economic interest through preferred shares and warrants. Related-party financings and consulting agreements, including those with entities tied to board leadership, are disclosed as approved under the company’s ethics framework, but the actual economic impact will depend on future equity issuance, warrant exercises and consulting outcomes.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our officers or directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which applies to our Board, our executive officers and our employees, outlines the broad principles of ethical business conduct we adopted, covering subject areas such as, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, handling of books and records, public disclosure reporting, insider trading, conflicts of interest, competition and fair dealing, and other violations. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is available on our website at www.ir.qctechnologies.com in the “Governance” section found under the “Investors” tab. We intend to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct at the same website address provided above.
We formed a Risk and Disclosure Committee, which is served by the members of the Audit Committee, which reviews our ethics and risk program and internal controls over compliance and identifies and recommends to the Board any changes that it deemed necessary. The Risk and Disclosure Committee also monitors compliance with our Code of Ethics, reviews and evaluates our public disclosures and disclosure controls and procedures and handles any whistleblower complaints.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy which governs trading policy and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees that is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as procedures designed to further the foregoing purposes. A copy of the insider trading policy can be found in Exhibit 19.1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026. While the Company is not subject to our insider trading policy, the Company does not trade in its securities when it is in possession of material non-public information other than pursuant to previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, if any.
Board Composition and Committees
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that our Board will consist of a number of directors to be determined from time to time solely by resolution of the Board, which is currently set at seven directors. Vacancies or newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
| 5 |
Board Diversity
We have no formal policy regarding Board diversity. Our Board believes that each director should have a basic understanding of the principal operational and financial objectives and plans and strategies of the Company, our results of operations and financial condition and relative standing in relation to our competitors. We take into consideration the overall composition and diversity of the Board and areas of expertise that director nominees may be able to offer, including business experience, knowledge, abilities and customer relationships. Generally, we will strive to assemble a Board that brings to us a variety of perspectives and skills derived from business and professional experience as we may deem are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. In doing so, we will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Director Independence
We are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and therefore rely on the definition of independence set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules (“Nasdaq Rules”). Under the Nasdaq Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment, share ownership, and affiliations with other board members, shareholders, business, contractor and family relationships, as well as the amount of the compensation we pay to each director, we have determined that, Mr. White, Mr Friscia, Mr Schrieber and Mr. Bernstein have no material relationships with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and are “independent directors” as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Our Bylaws to require that at least 50% of the Board will qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq Rules and that the Chairman of the Board will be an independent director. Currently, more than 50% of the Board qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq Rules. We are currently in compliance with these requirements.
Board Committees
The Board delegates various responsibilities and authority to different Board committees. Committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Board. Currently, the Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Risk and Disclosure Committee. Committee assignments are re-evaluated annually. Each of these committees operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board. The current charter of each of these committees is available on our website at https://ir.qctechnologies.com/ in the “Governance” section under “Board Committees.”
The following table sets forth the membership of each of the Board committees listed above.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Ian Rhodes
On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a CFO Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Brio Financial Group (“Brio”), pursuant to which, Brio would provide an Interim Chief Financial Officer for the Company. Effective as of January 29, 2021, the Company appointed Ian Rhodes as its interim Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company paid Brio an initial retainer fee of $7,500 and paid a fixed monthly payment of $13,500. The Consulting Agreement also provided that the Company would be billed for travel and other out-of-pocket costs. The Consulting Agreement expired on June 30, 2021. Since that time, Mr. Rhodes has continued to serve as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer under the same terms set forth in the Consulting Agreement.
Joshua Silverman
On November 13, 2023, the Board approved certain adjustments to the director fees. Mr. Silverman’s fees were decreased from $216,000 to $60,000 annually, with payment of the excess amount of $156,000 (the “Silverman Deferred Amount”) deferred until the date that payment of such amount would no longer jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, at which time such amount may be paid, at Silverman’s election, in shares of Common Stock or in cash. On July 12, 2024, the Board deemed it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, to pay the Silverman Deferred Amounts to Mr. Silverman and has determined that paying amount would not jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Silverman Deferred Amounts was paid in cash.
On July 12, 2024, the Board approved an increase in Mr. Silverman’s board fees from $60,000 to $120,000 annually.
On April 13, 2026, the Company entered into an executive compensation agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Joshua Silverman, who serves as the Company’s Executive Chairman, setting forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Silverman’s continued employment as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and as the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Employment Agreement has a three-year initial term commencing on April 13, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), which term automatically renews each year for successive one-year terms, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.
The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Silverman will be entitled to receive an annual base salary of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000) (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. For each fiscal year during the employment period, Mr. Silverman is eligible to receive an annual bonus upon achievement of target objectives and performance criteria, payable on or before March 15 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which the bonus relates. The Employment Agreement also entitles Mr. Silverman to receive customary benefits and reimbursement for ordinary business expenses.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Silverman is entitled to receive, on the Effective Date and subsequently on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, a number of fully vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) equal to an aggregate value of $60,000 per grant calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the grant date or the closing price of the last preceding business day if the grant date is not a business day (rounded down for any fractional shares). The RSUs granted pursuant to the Employment Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s standard restricted stock unit award agreement and the Company’s long-term equity incentive plan. With respect to the RSU grants provided in the Employment Agreement, the Company further agreed to provide Mr. Silverman with an additional lump-sum cash payment equal to any estimated personal income and applicable employment taxes to be withheld or paid in connection with Mr. Silverman’s receipt of the applicable RSUs.
In the event Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Silverman without Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) any earned but unpaid Base Salary earned during his employment and applicable to all pay periods prior to the termination date, and (ii) any unpaid expense reimbursements and vested amounts and benefits in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan, program, corporate governance document, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company (collectively, “Accrued Compensation”).
| 11 |
If Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the term by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Silverman for Good Reason, then, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement (including the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims), Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) Accrued Compensation; (ii) severance equal to two times the sum of (A) Mr. Silverman’s Base Salary in effect at the time his employment terminates and (B) the target bonus for the year of termination prorated based upon the number of days worked for the year of termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards.
If Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the term by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Silverman for Good Reason within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or within six (6) months prior to a Change in Control, Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) Accrued Compensation; (ii) severance equal to three times the sum of (A) Mr. Silverman’s Base Salary in effect at the time his employment terminates and (B) the target bonus for the year of termination prorated based upon the number of days worked for the year of termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards.

Narrative Disclosure to Director Compensation Table
On November 13, 2023, the Board approved certain adjustments to the director fees. Messrs. Eagle’s, Uzonwanne’s, and White’s fees were decreased from $96,000 to $60,000 annually, with payment of the excess amounts of $36,000 per director (the “Deferred Amounts”) deferred until the date that payment of such amounts would no longer jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, at which time such amounts may be paid, at each director’s election, in shares of Common Stock or in cash. On July 12, 2024, the Board deemed it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, to pay the Deferred Amounts to each of the directors and has determined that paying such Deferred Amounts would not jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On January 24, 2020, Mr. Schreiber entered into an employment agreement with the Company, under which he would receive an annual salary of $300,000. Since then, he has served the Company in various positions, and his employment agreement with the Company remains in effect. In connection with an overall reduction in compensation paid to the Company’s directors implemented in November 2023, effective November 13, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Mr. Schreiber providing for Mr. Schreiber’s annual fee to be adjusted from three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) (the “Full Fee”) to sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) in cash per annum, until payment of his Full Fee would no longer jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The amendment further provides that the remaining $240,000 of the fees per annum (the “Fee Deferral Amount”) shall be deferred until payment of the Fee Deferral Amount would no longer jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, at which time the Fee Deferral Amount may be paid, at Mr. Schreiber’s election, in shares of Common Stock or in cash. The amendment also clarified that Mr. Schreiber’s title is “Director.”
Timing of Certain Equity Awards
We do not have any policies and practices on the timing of awards of stock options or other equity grants in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information. The Company grants stock options based on timelines in the normal course of business independent of the occurrence of these types of events (e.g., at a pre-established dates, such as on an employee’s start date, at board of director meetings held once each year and following annual performance reviews). During the last completed fiscal year, we did not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our Common Stock and did not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates. During the last completed fiscal year, we have not made awards to any named executive officer during the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of a period report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K, and we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Equity Compensation Plans
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 15, 2021. The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other awards which may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock. At the effective time of the Merger, the number of shares of Common Stock that were reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan was 240,940 shares. On November 25, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the First Amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan to a total of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. On November 14, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the First Amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan to a total of 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock.
As of December 31, 2025, 1,064,166 shares remain available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
Purpose. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enable the Company to remain competitive and innovative in its ability to attract and retain the services of key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other awards, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The 2021 Plan is expected to provide flexibility to the Company’s compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of applicable tax laws.
Effective Date and Expiration. The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 18, 2021 (the “Plan Effective Date”) and approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 15, 2021. The 2021 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Plan Effective Date, unless sooner terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors. No awards may be made under the 2021 Plan after its termination date, but awards made prior to the termination date may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms.
Share Authorization. As of December 31, 2025, the number of shares of Common Stock that are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan is 1,400,000 shares, 100% of which may be delivered as incentive stock options. Shares to be issued may be made available from authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, shares held by the Company in its treasury, or shares purchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise. During the term of the 2021 Plan, the Company will at all times reserve and keep enough shares available to satisfy the requirements of the 2021 Plan. If an award under the 2021 Plan is cancelled, forfeited, or expires, in whole or in part, the shares subject to such forfeited, expired, or cancelled award may again be awarded under the 2021 Plan. Awards that may be satisfied either by the issuance of Common Stock or by cash or other consideration shall be counted against the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan only during the period that the award is outstanding or to the extent the award is ultimately satisfied by the issuance of shares. An award will not reduce the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the 2021 Plan if the settlement of the award will not require the issuance of shares, as, for example, a stock appreciation right that can be satisfied only by the payment of cash. Shares of Common Stock that are otherwise deliverable pursuant to an award under the 2021 Plan that are withheld in payment of the option price of an option or for payment of applicable employment taxes and/or withholding obligations resulting from the award shall be treated as delivered to the award recipient and shall be counted against the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan. Only shares forfeited back to the Company or cancelled on account of termination, expiration, or lapse of an award shall again be available for grant of incentive stock options under the 2021 Plan but shall not increase the maximum number of shares described above as the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.
| 14 |
Administration. The 2021 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board or such other committee of the board as is designated by it to administer the 2021 Plan (the “2021 Plan Administration Committee”). If necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, membership on the 2021 Plan Administration Committee shall be limited to those members of the Board who are “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. At any time there is no 2021 Plan Administration Committee to administer the 2021 Plan, any reference to the 2021 Plan Administration Committee is a reference to the Board.
The 2021 Plan Administration Committee will determine the persons to whom awards are to be made; determine the type, size, and terms of awards; interpret the 2021 Plan; establish and revise rules and regulations relating to the 2021 Plan as well as any sub-plans for awards to be made to eligible award recipients who are not resident in the United States; establish performance goals for awards and certify the extent of their achievement; and make any other determinations that it believes are necessary for the administration of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may delegate certain of its duties to one or more of the Company’s officers as provided in the 2021 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, any function relating to an award recipient subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be performed solely by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee.
Upon the adoption of the 2021 Plan, awards granted under the 2018 Plan (as defined below) remained in full force and effect under the terms and conditions of the 2018 Plan and in accordance with each award’s respective terms.
Eligibility. Employees (including any employee who is also a director or an officer), contractors, and non-employee directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whose judgment, initiative, and efforts contributed to or may be expected to contribute to the Company’s successful performance, are eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 3 employees, 4 contractors, and 4 non-employee directors who would be eligible for awards under the 2021 Plan.
Stock Options. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may grant either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) qualifying under Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options, provided that only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries that are not corporations) are eligible to receive ISOs. Stock options may not be granted with an option price less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the stock option is granted. If an ISO is granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), the option price shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee will determine the terms of each stock option at the time of grant, including, without limitation, the methods by or forms in which shares will be delivered to participants or registered in their names. The maximum term of each option, the times at which each option will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options at or following termination of employment or service generally are fixed by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, except that the 2021 Plan Administration Committee may not grant stock options with a term exceeding 10 years or, in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), a term exceeding five years.
Recipients of stock options may pay the option price (i) in cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) by delivering to the Company shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including restricted stock) already owned by the participant having a fair market value equal to the aggregate option price and that the participant has not acquired from the Company within six months prior to the exercise date; (iii) by delivering to the Company or its designated agent an executed irrevocable option exercise form, together with irrevocable instructions from the participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares purchased upon the exercise of the option or to pledge such shares to the broker as collateral for a loan from the broker and to deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the purchase price; (iv) by requesting that Company withhold the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the stock option by the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate option price at the time of exercise (i.e., a cashless net exercise); and (v) by any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the 2021 Plan Administration Committee in its sole discretion. No dividends or dividend equivalent rights may be paid or granted with respect to any stock options granted under the 2021 Plan.
| 15 |
Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee is authorized to grant stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as a stand-alone award, or freestanding SARs, or in conjunction with options granted under the 2021 Plan, or tandem SARs. SARs entitle a participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of a SAR cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee will determine the terms of each SAR at the time of the grant, including, without limitation, the methods by or forms in which shares will be delivered to participants or registered in their names. The maximum term of each SAR, the times at which each SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised SARs at or following termination of employment or service generally are fixed by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, except that no freestanding SAR may have a term exceeding 10 years and no tandem SAR may have a term exceeding the term of the option granted in conjunction with the tandem SAR. Distributions to the recipient may be made in Common Stock, cash, or a combination of both as determined by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee. No dividends or dividend equivalent rights may be paid or granted with respect to any SARs granted under the 2021 Plan.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee is authorized to grant restricted stock and restricted stock units. Restricted stock consists of shares of our Common Stock that may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service, prior to the end of a restricted period as specified by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee. Restricted stock units are the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future date in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, which include a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the participant. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee determines the eligible participants to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units will be made; the number of shares or units to be granted; the price to be paid, if any; the time or times within which the shares covered by such grants will be subject to forfeiture; the time or times at which the restrictions will terminate; and all other terms and conditions of the grants. Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited to, the attainment of performance goals (as described below), continuous service with the Company, the passage of time, or other restrictions and conditions. Except as otherwise provided in the 2021 Plan or the applicable award agreement, a participant shall have, with respect to shares of restricted stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class of Common Stock that is the subject of the restricted stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the Common Stock and the right to receive any dividends thereon, provided that (i) any dividends with respect to such a restricted stock award may be withheld by the Company for the participant’s account until such award is vested, subject to such terms as determined by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, and (ii) any dividends so withheld by the Company and attributable to any particular restricted stock award shall be distributed to such participant in cash or, at the discretion of the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, in shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends, if applicable, upon vesting of the award. If, however, such restricted stock award is forfeited, the participant’s rights as to such dividends will also be forfeited.
Performance Awards. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may grant performance awards payable at the end of a specified performance period in cash, shares of Common Stock, units, or other rights based upon, payable in, or otherwise related to the Company’s Common Stock. Payment will be contingent upon achieving pre-established performance goals (as discussed below) by the end of the applicable performance period. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee will determine the length of the performance period, the maximum payment value of an award, and the minimum performance goals required before payment will be made, so long as such provisions are not inconsistent with the terms of the 2021 Plan and, to the extent an award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, are in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any applicable regulations or guidance. In certain circumstances, the 2021 Plan Administration Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the amount payable with respect to certain performance awards will be reduced from the maximum amount of any potential awards. If the 2021 Plan Administration Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable because of a change in the Company’s business, operations, corporate structure, or for other reasons that the 2021 Plan Administration Committee deems satisfactory, the 2021 Plan Administration Committee may modify the performance measures or objectives and/or the performance period.

Performance Goals. Awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other awards under the 2021 Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria which shall consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria (“Performance Criteria”): cash (cash flow, cash generation or other cash measures); cost; revenues; sales; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; net borrowing, credit quality or debt ratings; profit before tax; economic profit; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; gross margin; earnings per share (whether on a pre-tax, after-tax, operational or other basis); operating earnings; capital expenditures; improvements in capital structure; expenses (expense management, expense ratio, expense efficiency ratios, expense levels or other expense measures); economic value added; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending or any other operating ratios; free cash flow; profit (net profit, gross profit, operating profit, economic profit, profit margin or other corporate profit measures); net income (before or after taxes, operating income or other income measures); net sales; net asset value per share; business expansion or consolidation (the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions); sales growth; price of the Company’s Common Stock; return measures (including, without limitation, return on assets, capital, equity, investments or sales, and cash flow return on assets, capital, equity, or sales); market share; inventory levels, inventory management, inventory turn or shrinkage; stock price or performance; internal rate of return or increase in net present value; working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts receivable; service or product delivery or quality; customer satisfaction; employee retention; safety standards; productivity measures; cost reduction measures; strategic plan development and implementation; or total return to shareholders. Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure our performance as a whole or of any of our business units and may be measured relative to a peer group or index. Any Performance Criteria may include or exclude (i) events that are of an unusual nature or indicate infrequency of occurrence, (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) changes in tax or accounting regulations or laws; (iv) the effect of a merger or acquisition, as identified in the Company’s quarterly and annual earnings releases; or (v) other similar occurrences. In all other respects, Performance Criteria shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, under generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee prior to the issuance of an award, which is consistently applied and identified in the Company’s audited financial statements, including in footnotes, or the Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of the Company’s annual report and definitive proxy statement, as applicable.
Other Awards. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may grant other forms of awards, based upon, payable in, or that otherwise relate to, in whole or in part, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, if the 2021 Plan Administration Committee determines that such other form of award is consistent with the purpose and restrictions of the 2021 Plan. The terms and conditions of such other form of award shall be specified in the grant. Such other awards may be granted for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified in the grant.
Vesting, Forfeiture and Recoupment, Assignment. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that an award will be immediately vested, in whole or in part, or that all or any portion may not be vested until a date, or dates, subsequent to its date of grant, or until the occurrence of one or more specified events, subject in any case to the terms of the 2021 Plan. If the 2021 Plan Administration Committee imposes conditions upon vesting, then, subsequent to the date of grant, the 2021 Plan Administration Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the date on which all or any portion of the award may be vested.
The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may impose on any award at the time of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions as the 2021 Plan Administration Committee determines, including terms requiring forfeiture of awards in the event of a participant’s termination of employment or service. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee will specify the circumstances on which performance awards may be forfeited in the event of a termination of service by a participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of awards. Except as otherwise determined by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee, restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participant’s termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period. In addition, the Company may recoup all or any portion of any shares or cash paid to a participant in connection with any award in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements as set forth in the Company’s clawback policy, if any, as such policy may be approved or modified by the Board from time to time.
| 17 |
Awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally are not assignable or transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that the 2021 Plan Administration Committee may, in its discretion and pursuant to the terms of an award agreement, permit transfers of nonqualified stock options or SARs to (i) the spouse (or former spouse), children, or grandchildren of the participant (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; (iii) a partnership in which the only partners are (a) such Immediate Family Members and/or (b) entities which are controlled by the participant and/or his or her Immediate Family Members; (iv) an entity exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or any successor provision; or (v) a split interest trust or pooled income fund described in Section 2522(c)(2) of the Code or any successor provision, provided that (x) there shall be no consideration for any such transfer, (y) the applicable award agreement pursuant to which such nonqualified stock options or SARs are granted must be approved by the 2021 Plan Administration Committee and must expressly provide for such transferability, and (z) subsequent transfers of transferred nonqualified stock options or SARs shall be prohibited except those by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the fair value of an award, then the 2021 Plan Administration Committee shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair value of the award immediately after the transaction or event is equal to the fair value of the award immediately prior to the transaction or event: (i) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of awards; (ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) specified as the annual per-participant limit under the 2021 Plan; (iv) the option price of each outstanding stock option; (v) the amount, if any, the Company pays for forfeited shares in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan; and (vi) the number of or exercise price of shares then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and unexercised under the 2021 Plan, to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any award shall always be a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made or authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the 2021 Plan or any stock option to violate Section 422 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code. All such adjustments must be made in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock market, or stock quotation system to which the Company is subject.
Amendment or Discontinuance of the 2021 Plan. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of participants, alter, amend, revise, suspend, or discontinue the 2021 Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that (i) no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the 2021 Plan and any awards under the 2021 Plan to continue to comply with Sections 421 and 422 of the Code (including any successors to such sections or other applicable law) or any applicable requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our stock is listed or traded, shall be effective unless such amendment is approved by the requisite vote of our stockholders entitled to vote on the amendment; and (ii) unless required by law, no action by the Board regarding amendment or discontinuance of the 2021 Plan may adversely affect any rights of any participants or obligations of the Company to any participants with respect to any outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan without the consent of the affected participant.
| 18 |
No Repricing of Stock Options or SARs. The 2021 Plan Administration Committee may not, without the approval of our stockholders, “reprice” any stock options or SARs. For purposes of the 2021 Plan, “reprice” means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (i) amending a stock option or SAR to reduce its option price or exercise price, respectively; (ii) cancelling a stock option or SAR at a time when its option price or exercise price, respectively, exceeds the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock in exchange for cash or a stock option, SAR, award of restricted stock, or other equity award with an option price or exercise price that is less than the option price or exercise price of the original stock option or SAR; or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

The percentages of voting securities beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, to our knowledge and subject to community property laws where applicable, each beneficial owner named in the table below has sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned and each person’s address is c/o Q/C Technologies, Inc., 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 249, New York, NY 10036.
Percentage of Common Stock ownership is based on 7,853,429 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 26, 2026. Percentage of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) ownership is based on 72,992 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of April 26, 2026. The Series G Preferred Stock ownership is based on 8,802 shares of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding as of April 26, 2026. The Series H Preferred Stock ownership is based on 3,115 shares of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding as of April 26, 2026.
The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the principal stockholders and the percentage of shares outstanding, as set forth below, take into account certain limitations on the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. For the purpose of calculating the number of shares beneficially owned by a stockholder and the percentage ownership of that stockholder, shares of Common Stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 26, 2026, 2026 by that stockholder are deemed outstanding.
