Equity Compensation Analyst

Large CFO option grant with performance condition met; routine.

The filing records a grant of 1,552,769 stock options at an exercise price of $1.42, initially granted on 08/12/2025. The performance-based condition was satisfied on 10/29/2025, which starts the vesting timetable but does not by itself create cash flow or dilution.

Vesting is time-based after the milestone: one third on 08/12/2026, then monthly vesting for 24 months, subject to continued service. The options expire on 08/12/2035. Actual impact depends on future exercises and service tenure; the filing lists ownership as Direct and a grant price of $0 for the derivative, consistent with standard awards.
