Hadron Energy, Inc. Awards Executive RSU Grants, Adopts RSU Documents

What Happened

• Hadron Energy, Inc. (formerly GigCapital7 Corp.) filed an 8-K (Item 5.02) dated September 8, 2026 disclosing that its Compensation Committee adopted Form RSU documents for the Hadron Energy, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (previously approved May 8, 2026). The Plan reserves 10,021,784 shares for issuance.
• On September 2, 2026 (the Approval Date), the Board approved restricted stock unit (RSU) grants under that Plan: 750,000 RSUs to EVP of Engineering Eric Williams, 500,000 RSUs to CFO Rahul Shukla, and 500,000 RSUs to COO Kenneth Canavan (total 1,750,000 RSUs). Grants use the company’s Form RSU Agreement and Participant Notice.

Key Details

• Plan reserve: 10,021,784 shares of common stock reserved for the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan.
• Grants approved on: September 2, 2026.
• Grant sizes and recipients: Eric Williams 750,000 RSUs; Rahul Shukla 500,000 RSUs; Kenneth Canavan 500,000 RSUs (total = 1,750,000 RSUs).
• Vesting schedule (all three grants): 25% vest on November 15, 2027; remaining 75% vest in 12 equal quarterly installments on Feb 15, May 15, Aug 15, Nov 15, fully vested November 15, 2030, subject to continued service.
• Form RSU Documents (agreement and notices) are filed as Exhibits 10.1–10.3.

Why It Matters

• These awards create potential future stock issuance and stock‑based compensation expense: up to 1.75 million shares could be issued if and when RSUs vest and are settled in common stock under the Plan.
• The multi-year vesting ties compensation to continued service through late 2030, which management says supports retention and aligns executive incentives with shareholder performance. Investors should monitor dilution and periodic stock‑based compensation expense in future filings.
