Vicarious Surgical Amends Executive Salaries; Two Officers Reduce Base Pay

What Happened
Vicarious Surgical Inc. announced on March 4, 2026 that it amended the executive employment agreements for President Adam Sachs and Chief Technology Officer Sammy Khalifa. Under the amendments, Mr. Sachs and Mr. Khalifa voluntarily agreed to reduce their annual base salaries to approximately $270,810 and $318,600, respectively. The company filed the amendments as part of an 8‑K.

Key Details

• Effective date of the amendments: March 4, 2026.
• New annual base salaries: ~ $270,810 (Adam Sachs) and ~ $318,600 (Sammy Khalifa).
• Target bonus and severance calculations: will continue to be based on each officer’s base salary immediately prior to the amendments (i.e., pre‑reduction amounts).
• The changes were documented in formal amendments to the existing executive employment agreements.

Why It Matters
This filing reflects management-level compensation adjustments that can modestly reduce near‑term cash payroll expense. Importantly for investors, incentive metrics (target bonus payouts and severance) remain tied to the prior, higher base salaries, which preserves the prior economic terms for bonuses and severance despite the cash salary cuts. The item is an executive change disclosure under Item 5.02 of Form 8‑K and does not report any changes in duties, departures, or other corporate transactions.
