Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation of our Executive Officers and Directors
As we are a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination, our primary objective with respect to executive and director compensation is to retain the executives and directors to help identify and close a business combination.
Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or our liquidation, the Company has agreed to pay GigManagement, LLC a total of $30,000 per month for office space and general and administrative services. This arrangement was agreed to by an affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the Company’s benefit and is not intended to provide such affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer compensation in lieu of a salary. The Company believes that such fees are at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party for such services.
The Company has agreed to pay Ms. Marshall, its Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer a total of $20,000 per month for her services.
The GigCapital7 Board approved the payment by GigCapital7 of advisory fees to directors in connection with certain activities on GigCapital7’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations as well as pertaining to GigCapital7 Board committee service and administrative and analytical services. These advisory fees are due to be paid quarterly, and include payments to Dr. Avi Katz, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The quarterly amounts approved are as follows, of which no quarterly payments were made in 2024 and three quarters’ payments have been made in 2025, with $84,000 in payments in the aggregate remaining as outstanding and to be paid upon the consummation of the proposed Business Combination:
