Context on program design:

  • Bonuses are based on performance objectives set by the Board; actual bonus amounts are at the Board’s discretion .
  • Company maintains a Mandatory Recoupment (clawback) Policy for erroneously awarded compensation and an Insider Trading Policy that, among other things, restricts trading during blackouts, requires pre-clearance, prohibits hedging/short sales/derivative transactions, and restricts pledging/margin use without advance approval .

Investment Implications

  • Pay-for-performance alignment: Mr. Granados’ FY2025 compensation was primarily fixed cash salary with a modest accrued bonus ($3,000), and no equity awards; absent disclosed performance metrics or equity, alignment to shareholder outcomes is limited in the near term .
  • Retention risk: No employment agreement, severance, or CoC protections are disclosed for him, which can reduce retention “stickiness” relative to peers who have such protections; conversely, the Acting CFO title may indicate interim status pending permanent appointment .
  • Insider trading/pledging risk: Company policy mitigates risk via prohibitions on hedging/short sales and restrictions on pledging/margin without approval; no pledges or hedging by Mr. Granados are disclosed .
  • Insider selling pressure: With no disclosed equity grants or owned shares, near-term selling pressure from Mr. Granados is likely negligible; however, absence of equity also reduces long-term ownership alignment unless future grants are made .
  • Execution backdrop: During his initial tenure window (FY2025), company-level pay-versus-performance data show a TSR reference value of $31.86 (from $100 base) and net income of $(243,101), an improvement vs FY2024 net loss, underscoring a challenged but improving profitability environment; no direct attribution to Mr. Granados is made in filings .
