Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee, which includes our independent directors, oversees an executive compensation program that is intended to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, link compensation paid with performance achieved, and attract, retain and motivate our key executives.

Our named executive officers (“NEOs”) are shown in the Summary Compensation Table below and include (i) all persons serving as our principal executive officer during the year ended December 31, 2025, (ii) our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2025, other than our principal executive officer, and (iii) two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that such individuals were not serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2025.

The annual compensation of our executive officers consists of a base salary and a discretionary bonus. The purpose of the base salary is to provide a fixed amount of cash compensation that is not variable and is generally competitive with market practices. The purpose of the bonus is to provide a variable cash incentive based on performance. Upon hire, our former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer each received stock option grants, as previously disclosed in our Form 8-K filings. The annual compensation of our two co-founders, Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Shipley, is nominal as their significant equity positions in our company drives their total compensation. We do not have a formal compensation plan.

Employment Agreements

As of December 31, 2025, none of our NEOs had written employment agreements. Messrs. Hodgson and Shipley, in consultation with our independent directors, have each agreed to receive a salary as our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, at a rate of $50,000 per year. Both work full-time for our company and there is no set term for their employment. Mr. Langbert became our Chief Financial Officer in December 2025. He works full-time for our company and there is no set term for his employment. He currently receives a monthly salary of $10,000.

Employee Benefits

Our NEOs participate in the same employee benefit plans that are made available to the Company’s employees generally. We do not provide a defined benefit pension plan for our NEOs or other employees. Our currently employed NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan on the same terms as are generally provided to our full-time employees. The Company provides matching contributions in respect of a portion of the participant’s elective deferrals under the 401(k) plan. We do not provide any nonqualified deferred compensation plans for our NEOs.

Clawback Policy

The Company adopted an executive compensation clawback policy in December 2023, that provides for the recoupment from certain executives of incentive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement or the occurrence of other clawback events described in the policy. The policy is designed to deter and prevent detrimental conduct and to protect our investors from financial misconduct.

Summary Compensation Table

The table below shows the compensation paid to or earned by our NEOs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the positions such NEOs held during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Options Exercised and Stock Vested

During the year ended December 31, 2025 there were no options exercised and stock vested by the NEOs.

Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not provide any pension benefits, nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans for our NEOs.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

As of December 31, 2025, none of our NEOs had written employment agreements. As such there are no potential payments due upon a termination or change of control.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

We grant a variety of equity awards, including:

●Stock Options: Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options with exercise prices at or above fair market value on the grant date.
●Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”): Units representing the right to receive shares of common stock upon vesting.
●Performance-Based Awards: Equity awards that vest based on achievement of specified performance goals

Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the Compensation Committee has generally granted equity awards pursuant to the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan and associated award agreements. Generally, grants to executive officers and employees occur on aset schedule, such as at the annual meeting of the Board or Compensation Committee, upon commencement of employment or in other special circumstances. Neither the Boardnor the Compensation Committee takes material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, including with respect to options, nor do we time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting thevalue of executive compensation. The exercise price for stock options is set at or above the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the closing price on our principal stock exchange.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and proposes equity awards for executive officers and directors, considering individual performance, competitive market practices, and alignment with company goals. Said proposals are then forwarded to the Board for approval. For non-executive employees, Qualified Stock Option awards are typically administered by the Chief Executive Officer, consistent with established guidelines.

Equity awards generally vest over a multi-year period, typically five years, subject to continued service. Certain awards may vest based on performance criteria. Unvested awards are forfeited upon termination of employment or service, except as otherwise provided in award agreements or severance arrangements. The Board or Compensation Committee may adjust awards as necessary to reflect corporate events such as stock splits, recapitalizations, or mergers. The Company generally prohibits repricing of stock options without shareholder approval.

In alignment with corporate governance best practices, equity awards are subject to clawback or recoupment in the event of material financial restatements or violations of company policies, as determined by the Board.

During the last completed fiscal year, we did not make any stock option awards to our NEOs during the period beginning on the four-business day before the filing of any Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K and ending one business day after the filing of such report that contained material nonpublic information (as defined in Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K). Accordingly, no tabular disclosure under Item 402(x)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K is required.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee. In determining the median compensated employee, SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their unique employee populations. Therefore, our reported pay ratio may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in industry, business models and scale, as well as the different estimates, assumptions and methodologies applied by other companies in calculating their respective pay ratios.

Excluding our CEO, we identified our median employee by preparing a list of all 592 individuals employed by the Company as of December 31, 2025 and examined the total compensation paid to each such individual as reflected in the Company’s payroll records. We included all employees (other than our CEO), whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis. We annualized the compensation for any permanent employees who were not employed by us for all of 2025.

The 2025 annual total compensation of our CEO was $354,699. The 2025 annual total compensation of our median employee was $38,593, and the ratio of these amounts is 9:1. For purposes of this CEO pay ratio calculation, the Company used compensation of R. Duncan Bates, who served as our principal executive officer for the majority of fiscal year 2025.

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain measures of financial performance of the Company.

The following table provides information regarding Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO NEOs during the last three fiscal years.

We structure our executive compensation program to award compensation based on individual and Company performance, to be competitive in the market and to retain our executives.

2018 Incentive Compensation Plan

Our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock adopted our 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) prior to the closing of our initial public offering. The purpose of our Plan is to assist us in attracting, motivating, retaining and rewarding high quality executives and other employees, officers, directors, consultants and other persons who provide services to us.

Administration. Our Plan is to be administered by our Compensation Committee, provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the board of directors may exercise any power or authority granted to the committee under our Plan. Subject to the terms of our Plan, the committee is authorized to select eligible persons to receive awards, determine the type, number and other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, awards, prescribe award agreements (which need not be identical for each participant), and the rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, construe and interpret the Plan and award agreements, and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies in them, and make all other decisions and determinations as the committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of our Plan.

Eligibility. The persons eligible to receive awards under our Plan are the officers, directors, employees, consultants and other persons who provide services to us. An employee on leave of absence may be considered as still in the employ of our company for purposes of eligibility for participation in our Plan.

Types of Awards. Our Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock, deferred stock, dividend equivalents, bonus stock and awards in lieu of cash compensation, other stock based awards and performance awards. Performance awards may be based on the achievement of specified business or personal criteria or goals, as determined by the committee.

Shares Available for Awards. The total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to the granting of awards under our Plan at any time during the term of the Plan will be equal to 2,500,000 shares. This limit will be increased by the number of shares with respect to which awards previously granted under our Plan that are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of shares, or that are settled for cash or otherwise do not result in the issuance of shares, and the number of shares that are tendered (either actually or by attestation) or withheld upon exercise of an award to pay the exercise price or any tax withholding requirements.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The committee is authorized to grant stock options, including both incentive stock options, or ISOs, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and non qualified stock options, and stock appreciation rights entitling the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the grant price of the stock appreciation right. The exercise price per share subject to an option and the grant price of a stock appreciation right are determined by the committee, but in the case of an ISO must not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of our Plan, the term “fair market value” means the fair market value of common stock, awards or other property as determined by the committee or under procedures established by the committee. The maximum term of each option or stock appreciation right, the times at which each option or stock appreciation right will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or stock appreciation rights at or following termination of employment generally are fixed by the committee, except that no option or stock appreciation right may have a term exceeding ten years.

Restricted and Deferred Stock. The committee is authorized to grant restricted stock and deferred stock. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock which may not be sold or disposed of, and which may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment, prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the committee. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder of our company, unless otherwise determined by the committee. An award of deferred stock confers upon a participant the right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified deferral period, subject to possible forfeiture of the award in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a specified restricted period. Prior to settlement, an award of deferred stock carries no voting or dividend rights or other rights associated with share ownership, although dividend equivalents may be granted, as discussed below.

Other Terms of Awards. Awards may be settled in the form of cash, shares of common stock, other awards or other property, in the discretion of the committee. The committee may require or permit participants to defer the settlement of all or part of an award in accordance with such terms and conditions as the committee may establish, including payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents on deferred amounts, and the crediting of earnings, gains and losses based on deemed investment of deferred amounts in specified investment vehicles. The committee is authorized to place cash, shares of common stock or other property in trusts or make other arrangements to provide for payment of our obligations under our Plan.

Awards under our Plan are generally granted without a requirement that the participant pay consideration in the form of cash or property for the grant (as distinguished from the exercise), except to the extent required by law. The committee may, however, grant awards in exchange for other awards under our Plan, awards under other company plans or other rights to payment from us, and may grant awards in addition to and in tandem with such other awards, rights or other awards.

Acceleration of Vesting; Change in Control. The committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability, the lapsing of restrictions or the expiration of deferral or vesting periods of any award, and such accelerated exercisability, lapse, expiration and if so provided in the award agreement or otherwise determined by the committee, vesting will occur automatically in the case of a “change in control” of our company, as defined in our Plan (including the cash settlement of stock appreciation rights which may be exercisable in the event of a change in control). In addition, the committee may provide in an award agreement that the performance goals relating to any performance award will be deemed to have been met upon the occurrence of any “change in control.”

Amendment and Termination. The board of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate our Plan or the committee’s authority to grant awards without further stockholder approval, except stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment or alteration if such approval is required by law or regulation or under the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which shares of common stock are then listed or quoted. Thus, stockholder approval may not necessarily be required for every amendment to our Plan which might increase the cost of our Plan or alter the eligibility of persons to receive awards. Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations, such as those relating to ISOs, that condition favorable treatment of participants on such approval, although the board of directors may, in its discretion, seek stockholder approval in any circumstance in which it deems such approval advisable. Our Plan will terminate at the earliest of (a) such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under our Plan, (b) termination of our Plan by the board of directors, or (c) the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan. Awards outstanding upon expiration of our Plan will remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

It is intended that any amounts payable under the Plan will either be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or will comply with Section 409A (including Treasury regulations and other published guidance related thereto) so as not to subject an employee to payment of any other additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

Director Compensation

Directors who are also officers or employees of the Company do not receive any special or additional remuneration for service on the board. We currently compensate each non employee director through annual restricted stock grants and by paying annual fees for their participation on the board and on respective board committees. Our directors receive compensation of $10,000 per quarter, as well as an annual award of $10,000 in restricted stock grants that vest as of the next annual meeting or in one year. We also compensate our directors for serving as a committee member and a committee chair. Our board of directors reviews director compensation annually or when circumstances exist requiring reexamination and adjusts it according to then current market conditions and good business practices. The following table provides information regarding compensation paid to each non-employee director during the year ended December 31, 2025:
