• Cash stipend: $9,000 per month for qualifying business expenses, prorated for partial months.
• Equity compensation: an Initial RSU grant with a grant-date value of approximately $105,000, plus monthly Follow‑On RSU grants of ~ $105,000 each commencing around April 17, 2026 for each month served. RSUs governed by the company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Why It Matters
This 8-K documents a temporary leadership change and the Board’s chosen mix of cash and equity to compensate the Acting CEO. The monthly RSU grants create ongoing equity issuance while he serves, which can affect share-based dilution and executive incentives. Investors should note the company’s governance update and monitor future filings for a permanent CEO decision or changes to compensation.
