Yext is asking stockholders to approve a standalone performance-based stock option award for Michael Walrath, its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The proposed option covers up to 11,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The Board approved it on October 11, 2026, with Walrath abstaining, subject to stockholder approval. The option would become eligible for exercise in 14 tranches only if Yext’s stock price achieves sustained target prices ranging from $21.00 to $88.08 per share within specified performance periods, and subject to Walrath’s continued service as CEO. If approved, it is currently intended to serve as sufficient equity compensation for him for the ten-year period following the grant date. It was not awarded to, earned by, or paid to him in fiscal 2026.
Yext reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $446.6 million, compared with $421.0 million in fiscal 2025; it attributed the increase entirely to the inclusion of revenue from Hearsay Social, Inc., acquired in August 2024. Net income was $37.9 million, versus a $27.9 million net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA was $107.3 million versus $67.0 million. The fiscal 2026 executive bonus plan’s overall payout percentage was 102.83% of target.
