Analysis · BNC · Crypto Assets
The December 4 shareholder vote covers two equity plans, but the 2026 Plan is the one that matters: it reserves 3,801,989 shares, roughly 7.8% of the 48.8 million outstanding, and it is the vehicle for new CEO Alex Odagiu's award of 1,219,328 units worth $6,950,170 at the $5.70 October 21 close. Combined with the inducement plan, overhang reaches about 9.9%, or about 11.0% if the 2025 Plan also passes. The 2025 Plan is the awkward one: 92.5% of its 524,999 RSUs were granted to four former directors and the former CEO, all of whom have left, and the current Board makes no recommendation on it. Approval is likelier this time because the October 2 bylaws switched to a plurality-of-votes-cast standard, so abstentions and broker non-votes no longer count against — the same proposal that drew 56.4% support in July would have passed. If the 2026 Plan fails, the CEO award is not granted and the company must resubmit.
