Insights

This stock grant announcement reveals significant equity compensation details for Energy Vault's new executives and employees. The most notable aspect is the 700,000 restricted stock units plus 300,000 performance-based units granted to new CLO Brad Eastman. The performance targets, set at $3, $4 and $5 per share, represent ambitious goals given the current stock price, requiring increases of roughly 50% to 150% from current levels.

The vesting schedule for regular RSUs (25% after year one, then 6.25% quarterly) is fairly standard for the industry. However, the size of Eastman's grant is substantial relative to Energy Vault's market cap, representing approximately 0.35% of the company. This level of equity compensation signals both the company's commitment to attracting top talent and its belief in future growth potential, though it does come with dilutive effects for existing shareholders.
