RSU and PSU Grants to Asim Akram and Robert Nadolny
Effective July 16, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved grants of RSUs and restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PSUs”) to Asim Akram, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and Robert Nadolny, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Pursuant to the grant to Mr. Akram, Mr. Akram received 20,841 RSUs and 83,364 PSUs at target. Pursuant to the grant to Mr. Nadolny, Mr. Nadolny received 17,935 RSUs and 23,774 PSUs at target. Pursuant to Mr. Akram and Mr. Nadolny’s respective employment agreements, each of Mr. Akram and Mr. Nadolny is entitled to an additional grant of RSUs and PSUs in January 2027.
The first tranche of RSUs granted will vest, if at all, in four equal installments on each of January 1, 2027, January 1, 2028, January 1, 2029 and January 1, 2030. The first tranche of PSUs granted is subject to revenue achievement levels by the Company for the year ending December 31, 2029, which were set by the Board, for a performance period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2029. The PSUs vest, if at all, after the end of the performance period. The payout percentages are interpolated for performance between threshold and target as set forth below.
Performance Level | Revenue Target ($M) | Planned Payout Percentage |
Threshold (70% of Target) | $31.5 | 50% |
Target (100% of Target) | $45.0 | 100% |
To the extent the Company’s revenue exceeds the target performance level, the Board shall consider additional compensation to be payable in such form and in such amounts, if any, as the Board may determine to be appropriate at that time.
Effective July 16, 2026, the Board also finalized the grants of 17,440 PSUs at target to Mr. Akram and 5,000 PSUs at target to Mr. Nadolny for the 2025 tranche that Mr. Akram and Mr. Nadolny were each entitled to pursuant to each of their respective employment agreements, as previously disclosed. The Board determined that the performance metric and levels for this first half of the PSUs granted pursuant to Mr. Akram and Mr. Nadolny’s employment agreements are the same as the performance metric and levels disclosed above.
Each of the foregoing grants was made pursuant to the Company’s form of RSU Award Agreement and form of PSU Award Agreement pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.
