Governance Assessment

  • Alignment: Meaningful equity ownership (1.94%) and option exposure support alignment with shareholders .
  • Independence: Not classified as independent; material affiliations with Happy Hour increase conflict risk and reduce governance insulation; not serving on key committees (Audit/Comp/NGC) mitigates direct oversight influence .
  • Attendance: Met the ≥75% attendance threshold in 2024; indicates minimum engagement level .
  • Compensation structure: Standard cash retainer; equity via options with a 10‑year term and near‑term vest date (Oct 31, 2025); no performance metrics disclosed for director awards .
  • Related‑party risk: Extensive transactions among ROLR, Happy Hour Solutions, HR Entertainment, Spike Up Media, and Ellmount affiliates; related‑person transaction policy adopted March 12, 2025 (after most described transactions), placing emphasis on Audit Committee review going forward .

RED FLAGS

  • Not independent; officer/shareholder of a related party (Happy Hour) with multiple material transactions with ROLR .
  • Complex interlocks across Ellmount/Spike Up/Happy Hour groups; prior related‑party dealings pre‑policy adoption (March 12, 2025) .
  • Director equity program “to be established” in future; limited disclosure on director ownership guidelines and hedging/pledging controls for directors .
