Key Details

• Employment letters dated April 16, 2026 memorialize annual base salaries: Jason Kim $500,000; Darren Ma $420,000; Ramon Sanchez $425,000.
• Target annual bonus opportunities are set as a percentage of base salary: Kim 100%, Ma 60%, Sanchez 50%.
• Agreements confirm eligibility for company benefit plans and reaffirm each executive’s restrictive covenants under the Employee Proprietary Information Agreement.

Why It Matters

• These confirmatory agreements formalize compensation and bonus targets for three senior executives, which are material to assessing executive pay expense and incentives.
