This definitive information statement formalizes the previously announced amendment to the 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, which was initially disclosed in an 8-K on January 22, 2026. The amendment, approved by the majority shareholder, increases the pool of shares available for equity awards by 2.5 million, bringing the total to 7.5 million shares. This represents a potential dilution of approximately 2.58% of current outstanding shares, which is a notable amount. While intended to align employee interests and aid retention, such an increase in the share pool typically exerts a slightly negative pressure on existing shareholder value due to future dilution.
