Eightco Holdings Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS) filed an 8‑K reporting that on December 29, 2025 it granted restricted stock units (RSUs) under the Cryptyde, Inc. 2022 Long‑Term Incentive Plan. Kevin O'Donnell, the Company's CEO and a Board member, received 475,000 RSUs and Brett Vroman, the CFO, received 60,000 RSUs. Each of these RSUs vested in full on the grant date. The grants were made in recognition of the officers' roles in the Company's September 2025 private placement and the launch and operation of its digital asset treasury activities.

Key Details

• Grant date: December 29, 2025.
• Awards: 475,000 RSUs to CEO Kevin O'Donnell; 60,000 RSUs to CFO Brett Vroman.
• Vesting: Each RSU award vested in full on the grant date.
• Other recipients: Board members and non‑executive employees also received RSUs on the same date, all vesting in full, under the same Board approval.
• Plan: Awards issued under the Cryptyde, Inc. 2022 Long‑Term Incentive Plan; initial Board approval had left grant date and vesting terms to executive discretion.

Why It Matters
The filing documents equity compensation awarded to senior management and other employees tied to the Company’s recent financing and digital asset treasury work. For investors, these grants show management was materially rewarded following the September 2025 private placement and related operations. Because RSUs are equity awards, their future settlement (if in shares) could increase outstanding shares and affect per‑share metrics; here, the awards already vested on the grant date.
