Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 1,371,962 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to various employees, officers, directors, consultants, and vendors and 3,679,343 performance-based (tied to multi-year financial targets) restricted stock units (“PSUs”) granted to named executive officers, key employees and vendors under the Plan for
an aggregate of 5,051,305 (based on the target number of shares that may be issued assuming all performance targets are met).
The RSUs have various vesting dates, ranging from vesting on the grant date to as late as four years from the date of grant.
Of the 3,679,343 PSUs: (i) 3,259,545 PSUs were granted in February and April 2026 with a three-year service period ending December 31, 2028 and a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $4.20 per share; these awards vest based on achievement of a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target over the service period, subject to continued service through December 31, 2028 (ii) 419,798 PSUs represent additional shares that vested on previously granted PSUs upon achievement of their performance targets. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock.

Compensation expense associated with PSUs is recognized over the service period of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest when the related performance objective is met. The estimate of the number of awards expected to vest is reassessed each reporting period.
