Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2024

We have no outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2024.

Equity Incentive Plan

We maintain the 2022 Plan, under which we may grant awards to our employees, officers and directors and certain other service providers. The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan permits grants of awards to eligible employees, consultants and other service providers. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares of common stock. All of our current employees, consultants and other service providers are eligible to be granted awards under the 2022 Plan. Eligibility for awards under the 2022 Plan is determined by the board of directors at its discretion.

The 2022 Plan permits the discretionary award of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NQSOs”), stock awards (which may have varying vesting schedules and be subject to lock-up periods at the board of directors’ discretion) and other equity awards to selected participants. Unless sooner terminated, no ISO may be granted under the 2022 Plan on or after the 10 thanniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the 2022 Plan).

The compensation committee has the sole discretion in setting the vesting period and, if applicable, exercise schedule of an award, determining that an award may not vest for a specified period after it is granted and accelerating the vesting period of an award. The plan administrator determines the exercise or purchase price of each award, to the extent applicable. The 2022 Plan does not allow for the assignment, transfer or exercise of awards other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Unless otherwise provided by the participant’s Option Award Agreement or Stock Award Agreement (as both terms are defined in the 2022 Plan) issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan, upon the participant’s termination for any reason, including but not limited to death, Disability (as defined in the 2022 Plan), voluntary termination nor involuntary termination with or without Cause (as defined in the 2022 Plan), all unvested equity awards in the form of options or shares shall be forfeited. Vested options, unless otherwise provided, will remain exercisable for three (3) months following termination of the participant if such termination is for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause. In case the participant’s separation from service is due to death or Disability, then the vested options will be exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter. In case the participant’s termination is for Cause, the participant will immediately forfeit any and all options issued to such participant under the 2022 Plan.

The 2022 Plan also provides the Company with a right of repurchase all or portion of the shares awarded to the participant under the 2022 Plan, which may be exercised in case a participant separates from service for any reason, at a price equal to the fair market value, as determined by the board of directors. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2022 Plan), the board of directors will have the sole discretion to address the treatment of a participant’s unvested awards in connection with such Change in Control in the participant’s award agreement.

The board of directors may modify, amend or terminate the plan at any time, provided that no such modification, amendment or termination of the 2022 Plan materially affects the rights of a participant under a previously granted award without that participant’s consent. Further, the board of directors cannot, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend this plan: (i) increase the number of common stock with respect to the ISOs that may be granted under the 2022 Plan; (ii) make any changes in the class of employees eligible to receive the ISOs under the plan; (iii) without stockholder approval if required by applicable law.

2025 Short Term Incentive Plan

On February 4, 2025, the compensation committee approved our 2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”), which provides for quarterly awards of performance-based restricted stock units (the “Awards”) granted under the 2022 Plan, a successor or replacement plan, or outside of an equity incentive plan, as determined by the compensation committee, in its discretion, to be granted to our executive officers and/or other participating employees and consultants selected by the compensation committee. The compensation committee established the STIP to drive revenue growth and profitability, help focus key employees on building stockholder value, provide significant award potential for achieving outstanding performance, and enhance our ability to attract and retain highly talented individuals.

Under the STIP, participants may earn Awards based on our achievement of certain pre-determined quarterly performance targets for three different performance target categories for each fiscal quarter. These performance targets will be approved by the compensation committee at the beginning of each fiscal year but may be adjusted on a fiscal quarterly basis at the compensation committee’s sole discretion during the fiscal year depending on our results. The quarterly performance targets consist of (i) the amount of organic revenue for the quarter; (ii) the number of brokerage transactions consummated by our in-house brokerage firm for the fiscal quarter; and (iii) the quality of acquisitions we consummate during the fiscal quarter, which quality determination will be determined at the sole discretion of the compensation committee based on the compensation committee’s evaluation of the acquisitions’ fit with our business model.

Each performance target category is weighted differently based on the participant’s position with the Company, and the achievement of the goals for each performance target category is determined independently of the others. The weight of each performance target category for each participant will be set by the compensation committee at the beginning of each fiscal year, subject to change by the compensation committee on a fiscal quarterly basis depending on our results. Further, the percentage of the participant’s base salary that will be used in determining the Awards, if any, will also be set by the compensation committee at the beginning of each fiscal year based on the participant’s position with the Company.

For each fiscal quarter, the Awards earned by each participant for each performance target category will be equal to the percentage of the goal for such performance target category that is achieved by us multiplied by the participant’s Target Award (as defined below) for such performance target category for the fiscal quarter, up to a maximum of 500% of the participant’s Target Award. For each participant, the “Target Award” for a particular performance target category for a given fiscal quarter will be equal to the applicable percentage of the participant’s base salary used to determine the Awards for such participant multiplied by (i) the weight of such performance target category and (ii) the participant’s base salary for the applicable fiscal quarter.

The Awards earned in a fiscal quarter, if any, will vest as follows: (i) 50% will vest on the date that is 12 months from the date of grant, (ii) 12.5% will vest on the date that is 15 months from the date of grant, (iii) 12.5% will vest on the date that is 18 months from the date of grant, (iv) 12.5% will vest on the date that is 21 months from the date of grant and (v) 12.5% will vest on the date that is 24 months from the date of grant. The date of grant of the Awards for a given fiscal quarter will be 30 calendar days after the last calendar day of such fiscal quarter, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the STIP. The vesting of the Awards is subject to the participant’s compliance with the terms of the STIP, including, among other things, the participant’s continued service to the Company (or an affiliate) in accordance with the terms of the participant’s employment agreement through each applicable vesting date.

We believe that the Awards will further align our executive officers’ and other participating employees’ interests with those of our stockholders, while serving as a key retention mechanism over the long-term. All Awards will be subject to our Clawback Policy (as defined below).

Director Compensation

The following table presents the total compensation earned and/or paid to non-employee and employee member directors of our board of directors during the year ended December 31, 2024. Our non-executive directors are entitled to an annual compensation of $25,000, payable in cash in quarterly installments of $6,250, plus reimbursements for reasonable travel expenses, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors or events attended on our behalf. Additionally, Messrs. Angelis and Swaminathan each received $50,000 as additional compensation for services as a non-executive director during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Clawback Policy

We have adopted a compensation recovery policy designed to comply with the mandatory compensation “clawback” requirements under Nasdaq rules (the “Clawback Policy”). Under the Clawback Policy, in the event of certain accounting restatements, we will be required to recover erroneously received incentive-based compensation from our executive officers representing the excess of the amount actually received over the amount that would have been received had the financial statements been correct in the first instance. The compensation committee has discretion to make certain exceptions to the clawback requirements (when permitted by Nasdaq rules) and ultimately determine whether any adjustment will be made under the Clawback Policy.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

We currently have no specific policy or practice on the timing of stock options, stock-appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments, in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by us. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not award any such equity instruments to our executive officers.
