Chief Financial Officer Transition
On May 7, 2026, Pagaya announced that Evangelos Perros, Chief Financial Officer, has decided to step down from his role with the Company effective June 15, 2026. Jonathan Dobres, currently Chief Strategy Officer, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer on that date. Mr. Perros will remain with the Company serving as a Strategic Executive Advisor to Gal Krubiner, Chief Executive Officer, through December 31, 2026. Mr. Perros’s departure is not related to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its accounting practices, financial statements, internal controls, or operations.
Mr. Dobres joined Pagaya in 2021 as Head of Strategy and Corporate Development before becoming its Chief Strategy Officer in 2025. He previously served in senior investment roles at Hudson Executive Capital, including as CFO of several Hudson sponsored investment vehicles, Flexis Capital and P. Schoenfeld Asset Management.
There are no arrangements between Mr. Dobres and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Dobres and any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Employment Agreement with Mr. Dobres
On May 1, 2026, Pagaya Technologies US LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dobres related to his employment by the Company as its Chief Financial Officer, effective June 15, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $650,000 and eligibility to receive an annual cash incentive bonus based on individual and Company performance, with the actual amount determined in the discretion of the Company. Mr. Dobres will receive an upfront payment of a portion of his 2026 bonus in the amount of $350,000. Subject to the Board’s approval and Mr. Dobres’ continued employment, Mr. Dobres will be granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) valued at $500,000 as soon as practicable following the Effective Date; RSUs valued at $500,000 during the Company’s compensation review cycle in 2027; and RSUs valued at $1,000,000 during the Company’s compensation review cycle in 2028. The RSUs will vest quarterly in equal installments over two years from the respective grant dates. If Mr. Dobres is terminated for “cause” or resigns other than for “good reason” (each as defined in his employment agreement) prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, he will be required to repay his 2026 bonus in full.
In the event that Mr. Dobres’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Dobres for good reason, subject to his executing and not revoking a general release and complying with 12-month post-employment covenants not to compete or solicit employees, customers or clients, he would be entitled to (i) (a) if such termination occurs prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, installment payments equal to the base salary he would have been entitled to (and not yet received) had he been employed through the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date or (b) if such termination occurs after the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, installment payments equal to six months of his base salary or (c) if such termination occurs within 12 months of a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreement), a lump sum payment equal to 12 months’ base salary; (ii) Company payment of a portion of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months so that the cost for coverage is commensurate with active employees; and (iii) if such termination occurs within 12 months of a change in control, accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards that would have become vested within one year following the termination date.
