Hawkeye Digital Appoints President and VP/CFO; Salaries Deferred

What Happened

• On September 1, 2026, Hawkeye Digital, Inc. (HWKE) entered into offer letters with David Wachsman to serve as President and Quinton Byron Hamlett to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (employed as Vice President). Both roles are at-will positions.
• Each officer will accrue a salary beginning September 1, 2026, but actual salary payments are deferred until the Company secures funding for its business strategy. Both are eligible for annual discretionary bonuses subject to executive management and the board.

Key Details

• David Wachsman: initial annual salary of $360,000 (accruing at $30,000 per month).
• Quinton Byron Hamlett: initial annual salary of $270,000 (accruing at $22,500 per month).
• Salary accrual start date for both: September 1, 2026; payment deferred until funding is achieved.
• Both offer letters filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Form 8-K.

Why It Matters

• The company has formalized compensation and roles for its top financial and operating officers, which is material for governance and leadership continuity.
• Deferred cash payment terms indicate the company is tying near-term compensation to future financing, which may limit immediate cash outflows but creates accrued obligations that could affect cash needs if funding is secured.
• Investors should note the leadership appointments and the deferred-pay structure as factors in evaluating management stability and the company’s liquidity and funding strategy.
