The RSUs vest over three years, with one-third vesting on the 12‑month anniversary of the grant and additional one‑third tranches on each of the next two anniversaries, subject to his continued board service.

Effective May 1, 2026, Craig Christensen becomes Interim Chief Financial Officer, Interim Treasurer, Interim Secretary and Principal Accounting Officer, succeeding Ryan Carhart, who is leaving to pursue another professional opportunity and whose departure is not due to any dispute.
Christensen, age 48, is a veteran finance executive with over 25 years of experience across public and private companies and was most recently CFO of 180 Health Services. A month-to-month Consulting Agreement with LiveXLive, a LiveOne subsidiary, provides a weekly fee of $6,250 and potential equity bonuses of 10,000 and 5,000 LiveOne common shares tied to timely filing of specified 10-K and 10-Q reports. Within about 90 days of the effective date, the parties plan to discuss a possible transition to a full-time CFO role for PodcastOne, LiveOne and their subsidiaries.

For fiscal 2026 Q4, the company anticipates over $15 million in revenue and more than $2 million in Adjusted EBITDA, up +175% quarter over quarter. Management emphasizes these figures are preliminary, subject to completion of year-end closing procedures, and rely on non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Contribution Margin alongside GAAP results.

After the settlement, Arani directly owns 93,509 shares of PodcastOne common stock. The filing shows a routine compensation-related derivative exercise, not an open-market purchase or sale.
PodcastOne, Inc. filed Amendment No. 1 to a Form S-3 registration statement to add a shelf prospectus permitting the company to offer up to $150,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units from time to time. The shelf prospectus states offerings will be made under prospectus supplements that will set specific terms, and that offerings may be sold directly, through agents, underwriters or dealers. The cover also discloses trading data: last reported Nasdaq sale price $2.08 and an aggregate market value of non-affiliate common stock of $12,217,473 based on April 7, 2026. The filing lists 27,487,964 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 7, 2026, and describes 3,114,001 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (exercise price $3.00, expiration January 15, 2028).
PodcastOne, Inc. amended its 2022 Equity Incentive Plan on April 8, 2026 to increase the number of common shares available for issuance under the plan by 2,000,000 shares. This expansion of the equity pool has been approved by the board of directors and remains subject to stockholder approval at the company’s 2026 annual meeting.
Krigsman Jay E. reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.
PodcastOne, Inc. director Jay E. Krigsman received a grant of 42,053 Restricted Stock Units as board fees for service from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. These RSUs vested on March 31, 2026 and each unit represents a right to one share of common stock or its cash value.
The board will decide whether settlement is in cash, stock, or a mix, under the company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Krigsman may defer settlement until he leaves the board or for up to five years after vesting, making this a compensation-related, non-cash equity award rather than an open-market share purchase.
