2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

"Granted under the Issuer's 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan and vests 100% immediately."

An omnibus incentive plan is a company-wide program that authorizes awards of pay tied to performance and retention—such as stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other rewards—here labeled for the year it was adopted (2025). Investors care because it affects how much ownership can be issued, dilutes existing shareholders, and aligns executives’ and employees’ incentives with company goals, similar to giving team members a stake in the outcome.
