ImmuCell Corporation has entered into new employment agreements with its Chief Financial Officer, Timothy C. Fiori, and Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Bobbi Jo Brockmann, effective January 27, 2026. These agreements include annual base salaries of $315,000 and $300,000, respectively, along with target annual cash bonuses of 50% of their base salaries. Additionally, both executives received stock option grants of 120,000 shares for Mr. Fiori and 100,000 shares for Ms. Brockmann, exercisable at $6.26 per share and vesting over three years. CEO Olivier te Boekhorst also received a performance-based stock option grant of 110,000 shares, exercisable at $6.265 per share, which vests only if the company's net operating income for four consecutive quarters exceeds 300% of its 2025 fiscal year's audited net operating income. These compensation packages are designed to retain key talent and align executive incentives with long-term shareholder value, though the equity grants represent a notable potential dilution.
