Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

COO receives 280,000 long-vesting RSUs as standard equity compensation.

The Chief Operating Officer of i-80 Gold Corp. received 280,000 Restricted Share Units as a grant, classified as a derivative-type award. This is a typical equity compensation mechanism rather than an open-market purchase or sale, and carries limited trading signal.

The RSUs vest in full on March 1, 2029, creating a multi-year incentive tied to company performance and retention. Each RSU converts into one common share or cash, at the issuer’s discretion, so the ultimate impact on share count will depend on the settlement choice at vesting.
