This definitive proxy statement finalizes the terms for a shareholder vote on a significantly expanded 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, following the preliminary proxy filed on January 26, 2026. The proposal includes adding 10,000,000 shares to the plan, which represents a substantial potential dilution of approximately 38.1% based on current outstanding shares. Furthermore, the plan introduces an aggressive 'evergreen' provision allowing for an automatic annual increase of up to 20% of total outstanding shares until 2032, which could lead to continuous and severe dilution. A notable portion of the proposed increase, 6,000,000 shares, is specifically contemplated for awards to CEO Anthony Hayes and President Kyle Wool, highlighting a significant compensation package relative to the company's size. This level of potential dilution and executive compensation, if approved, could materially impact shareholder value.
