Analysis · SKYA · Crypto Assets
SkyAI's definitive proxy asks shareholders to approve a new 2026 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing 5,145,000 shares, equal to 7.2% of fully diluted shares. The plan is needed because the prior plan has only 145,000 shares left. The proxy also reveals significant related-party transactions: $3.3 million paid to a consulting firm owned by the CIO's brother, and warrants valued at $101.3 million issued to another brother-controlled entity.
