The approvals set the compensation framework for these officers while a company-wide executive incentive plan is developed.

Key Details

• Approvals effective June 3, 2026; 8-K filed June 5, 2026 (Item 5.02).
• Samuel Gibson, CEO: base salary $400,000; target bonus 50% of base salary.

• Annual bonuses will be paid no later than 2.5 months after the calendar year end and will be determined by the Board or its Compensation Committee based on performance goals to be established.

Why It Matters These are the company’s initial executive cash compensation targets after its business combination, which set near-term fixed costs and potential variable pay tied to performance. Investors can use these figures to gauge management’s pay structure and the company’s compensation priorities (cash vs. future equity), but should note actual bonus payments and any equity grants will depend on future Board decisions and the forthcoming incentive plan.
