Insights

Corporate governance analyst

Routine executive hire with defined cash and equity compensation.

Brera Holdings named Justin Bowes Chief Legal Officer with a base salary of $425,000 and a bonus target of 100% of salary. The bonus ties to Solana per share performance versus peers and equity fundraising milestones, aligning part of pay with disclosed metrics.

Equity compensation includes RSUs valued at $2.5 million vesting over four years, encouraging retention. A $100,000 signing bonus provides immediate cash consideration. The RSU grant is subject to board approval as stated.

This looks like a standard senior hire package; any dilution impact from RSUs would be gradual due to four-year vesting and depends on actual grant size and future issuance mechanics.
