Item 11. Executive compensation

Our Board of Directors has appointed a Compensation Committee, consisting of independent members of our Board of Directors, to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, evaluate the performance of our CEO on achieving those goals and objectives, and determine or recommend to our Board of Directors the compensation of our CEO based on this evaluation. The Compensation Committee also recommends to our Board of Directors, or as directed by our Board of Directors, determines and approves, the compensation of our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee makes every effort to ensure our executive compensation program is consistent with our values and is aligned with our business strategy and corporate goals.

As a smaller reporting company, the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permit us to omit the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and to report the compensation of our principal executive officer, each of our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving at the end of our last completed fiscal year, and up to two additional former executive officers for whom disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at the end of our last completed fiscal year (collectively, our “NEOs”).

For 2025, our NEOs were:

●Marlan Walker, CEO
●Joseph Ziegler, Principal Financial and Accounting Officer

As of December 31, 2025, we employed one full-time employee primarily engaged in an executive position — Mr. Marlan Walker, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ziegler serves as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with JZ Advisory Group (“JZ Advisory”). See “Ziegler Master Services Agreement” below.

Post-Employment Compensation

Pension Benefits

We do not offer any defined benefit pension plans for any of our employees. We have a 401(k) plan in which employees may participate.

Other Compensation

Mr. Walker is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical and dental plans. Should we decide to hire other employees, these plans do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and would be available to any potential employee. It is generally our policy to not extend significant perquisites to executives that are not broadly available to our other employees. In designing these elements, we seek to provide an overall level of benefits that is competitive with that offered by similarly situated companies in the markets in which we operate based upon our general understanding of industry practice. These benefits are not considered in determining the compensation of our executive officers.

Employment Agreement

Marlan D. Walker has an amended and restated employment agreement, as amended (the “Walker Employment Agreement”), with the Company that commenced on December 18, 2018, and was amended effective October 15, 2021, December 30, 2022, February 21, 2023 and December 17, 2024. The Walker Employment Agreement provides that we will continue to employ Mr. Walker, and Mr. Walker will continue to serve the Company, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Walker Employment Agreement. The Walker Employment Agreement provides for: (i) a base salary of $428,000 per year until April 15, 2023; thereafter, a base salary of $500,000 per year and a lump-sum bonus payment of $20,909, which was paid in April 2023 (ii) an annual short-term incentive compensation of 50% of salary, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and (iii) 70,000 RSUs vesting on June 30, 2023. Mr. Walker will receive employee benefits, vacation, and other perquisites as may be determined from time to time.

Conditions of termination call for (i) termination immediately upon death, (ii) termination upon a disability in which Mr. Walker is unable to perform his duties for more than six (6) consecutive months, (iii) voluntary termination without good reason by Mr. Walker with prior notice, (iv) involuntary termination by our Company without good cause, (v) termination for good cause, and (vi) termination for good reason wherein Mr. Walker will have ninety (90) days from the date of occurrence of a condition giving rise to good reason to provide a notice of termination of his employment with the Company, which will be effective thirty-one (31) days after we receive notice and the criteria remains uncorrected.

Ziegler Master Services Agreement

We entered into the Master Services Agreement with JZ Advisory that commenced on August 15, 2023, pursuant to which, among other things, JZ Advisory will serve as an independent consultant for the purpose of providing the Company with certain support services, including the services of Mr. Ziegler as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer.

The Company has agreed to pay JZ Advisory $10,000 a month for the services provided under the Master Services Agreement, which monthly rate will continue until the parties negotiate a future retainer amount. Mr. Ziegler was also granted 7,500 restricted stock units, which vested on August 17, 2024. The Master Services Agreement will continue through the third anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated (the “Term”). The Term will automatically be extended for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-extension no less than thirty (30) days in advance. The Master Services Agreement may be terminated pursuant to its terms. The Master Services Agreement contains certain covenants and agreements of the parties, including certain indemnification obligations of each party.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We have employment agreements with certain of our executive officers as described above. The arrangements reflected in these employment agreements are designed to encourage the officers’ full attention and dedication to our Company currently and, in the event of any proposed change in control, provide these officers with individual financial security. The employment agreements provide for specified payments and benefits by us to our executive officers only upon a qualifying termination of employment as described below.

Termination by Us Without Good Cause or by Executive with Good Reason - No Change in Control

Under the Walker Employment Agreement, for Mr. Walker, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment without “cause” (referred to as “good cause” in the Walker Employment Agreement) or resignation by the executive for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the Walker Employment Agreement), he would be entitled to, subject to his signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates, (i) the sum of his salary, payable on a biweekly basis ratably over eighteen (18) months, and one and one half times (1.5x) his target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, (ii) a continuation of welfare benefits for a period of two years after such termination, (iii) COBRA benefits for a period of twenty-four (24) months following such termination, (iv) payment for any annual short-term incentive compensation earned for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of such termination, (v) unpaid accrued base salary and unused vacation pay through the termination date, and (vi) amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination. Furthermore, the above obligations of the Company are subject to the executive complying with a non-solicitation agreement of employees and customers, and a non-competition agreement.

Termination or Resignation in Connection with a Change in Control

In the event of termination of Mr. Walker’s employment without “good cause” or resignation by the executive for “good reason” in the twelve months following a change in control, Mr. Walker would be entitled to, subject to his signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates, (i) the sum of his salary, payable on a biweekly basis ratably over eighteen (18) months, and one and one half times (1.5x) his target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, (ii) payment for any annual short-term incentive compensation earned for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of such termination, (iii) unpaid accrued base salary and unused vacation pay through the termination date, and (iv) amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination. Furthermore, the above obligations of the Company are subject to the executive complying with a non-solicitation agreement of employees and customers, and a non-competition agreement.

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability

For Mr. Walker, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment by reason of his death or “disability” (as such term is defined in the Walker Employment Agreement), in addition to those payments and benefits provided to salaried employees generally, including amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination, he would be entitled to (i) pro-rated target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, payable in a lump sum, subject to the executive’s signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates in the event of a disability, (ii) immediate vesting of all outstanding equity awards that vest solely on the passage of time, accrued but unused vacation pay through the termination date, payable in a lump sum, and (iv) all other rights and benefits the executive is vested in, pursuant to other plans and programs of our Company.

Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason

The table below reflects the amount of compensation to Marlan Walker, the only NEO currently employed by the Company, assuming termination of such executive’s employment without cause or for good reason or following a change in control of our company on December 31, 2025. Other than as set forth below, no amounts will be paid to our NEOs in the event of termination.

Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not offer any nonqualified defined contribution plans or nonqualified deferred compensation plans for any of our NEOs.

Limitation of Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees, and Agents

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, provide that we may indemnify to the full extent of our power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents. The effect of this provision in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders, either directly or through stockholders’ derivative suits brought on behalf of our Company, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in those instances described under Nevada law.

Insofar as indemnification by our Company for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to officers and directors of our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are aware that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We compensate our non-employee directors with a combination of cash and equity. Our Board of Directors receives the following cash compensation for their service: each director receives an annual cash retainer of $57,500; the chairperson of the Board receives an additional $22,500 annual cash retainer; the chairperson of our Audit Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $30,000 and the other members of the Audit Committee receive an annual cash retainer of $15,000; and the chairperson of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $20,000 and the other members of the Compensation Committee receive an annual cash retainer of $12,000. We also reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses related to attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings. We do not pay our directors per meeting fees.

The following table and accompanying footnotes detail compensation paid to our directors for services rendered for the year ended December 31, 2025. Mr. Roberts is entitled to receive compensation in the same manner as our other non-employee directors, but he has elected not to receive any compensation for his service as a non-employee director at this time.
