Compensation Structure Analysis
- Pay-for-performance link at ANNA appears minimal for Roscopf in 2023–2024, as he did not receive ANNA-level compensation or equity awards; compensation decisions were made by Bluescape and not subject to ANNA Board approval .
- No ANNA equity awards or option grants to Roscopf in 2023–2024; he was not a recipient under the Oct 29, 2025 grants following adoption of the 2025 Plan, coincident with his departure earlier in August .
- Absence of disclosed ANNA equity ownership for Roscopf implies limited direct alignment via ANNA stock during the period covered .
Performance & Track Record
- Execution highlights: Led SEC reporting and technical accounting at Beneficient and played a key role in its 2023 de-SPAC; managed SEC and bank regulatory reporting at Hilltop; deep audit experience at EY across multiple sectors with international best-practices exchange in Brazil .
- Tenure conclusion: CAO resignation effective Aug 18, 2025, during a broader finance leadership transition (CFO change) .
Risk Indicators & Red Flags
- Leadership transition risk: Concurrent CFO transition and CAO resignation in August 2025 raise near-term execution risk in finance and reporting .
- Alignment risk: No disclosed ANNA equity ownership or ANNA-level incentive awards for Roscopf in 2023–2024 reduces direct pay-for-performance alignment within ANNA .
- Pledging/hedging: No pledges disclosed; company broadly states no arrangements (including pledges) known that may result in change in control .

Investment Implications
- Low insider selling pressure from Roscopf: No ANNA equity awards or disclosed holdings reduce near-term selling pressure attached to his departure .
- Governance/operational risk: Finance leadership turnover (CFO appointment and CAO resignation in Aug 2025) is a monitoring point for reporting quality, control environment, and close/process discipline .
- Alignment: Lack of ANNA-level equity ownership and incentives for Roscopf during 2023–2024 suggests limited direct alignment with ANNA shareholder outcomes for that period; incentives and equity alignment for finance leadership shift to CFO Ronald under the 2025 Plan going forward .
