Employment Agreements

Randy Seidl

Effective January 2, 2025, we entered into the Offer Letter, which was later amended on June 27, 2025, with our CEO, Mr. Seidl. Pursuant to the amended Offer Letter, we agreed to pay to the CEO (i) an annual salary of $500,000, (ii) an annual incentive bonus up to 200% of his base salary, subject to Board or Compensation Committee approval, which will be subject to the achievement of Company and/or individual performance goals mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or the Compensation Committee, and (iii) a cash bonus of $5.82 million payable on the earlier of (x) December 31, 2028, (y) the date on which we terminate the CEO’s employment without cause, or (z) the date on which a change of control is consummated.

Mr. Seidl will be eligible to participate in Holdco’s comprehensive employee benefit offerings. The Offer Letter also provides that Mr. Seidl will be eligible to participate in any additional executive-level plans that Holdco may adopt for similarly situated employees.

Mr. Seidl’s employment with Holdco is “at-will,” meaning either Holdco or Mr. Seidl may terminate Mr. Seidl’s employment at any time for any reason. Upon termination of Mr. Seidl’s employment with the Company for any reason, he will be entitled to (i) unpaid base salary and pro-rated bonuses through the termination date, payable in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices, (ii) unreimbursed business expenses, payable in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and (iii) any vested non-forfeitable amounts or other benefits owing or accrued as of the termination date under the Company’s benefit plans or programs in which he participated (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). If his employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Offer Letter) he would be entitled to an amount equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary and a pro-rata portion of his current bonus, payable in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following the date of his termination or resignation, plus payment of the Officer Note. In the event his employment is terminated by the Company without Cause in each case, upon or within 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Incentive Plan) (provided such Change in Control constitutes a change in control under Section 409A), then he would be entitled to accelerated vesting of 100% of the stock options constituting his equity award that are unvested as of the date of such termination.

Oanh Truong

There is no agreement between Ms. Truong and the Company with respect to her service as interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Overview of Anticipated Executive Compensation Program

Decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, will be made by the Compensation Committee. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the compensation of our named executive officers and directors for 2026. The actual compensation of our named executive officers will depend on the judgment of the members of the Compensation Committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion. Such compensation will also generally be governed by our executive officers’ employment agreements, as in effect from time to time, including as described above.

We expect our executive compensation program will be designed to:

●attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and, ultimately, creating and maintaining its long-term equity value. Such leaders must engage in a collaborative approach and possess the ability to execute its business strategy in an industry characterized by competitiveness and growth;
●reward senior management in a manner aligned with our financial performance; and
●align senior management’s interests with our equity owners’ long-term interests through equity participation and ownership.

We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, equity compensation, employee benefits, and severance protections. Base salaries, employee benefits, and severance protections will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. We will also use annual cash bonuses and equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of our named executive officers with the long-term interests of our stockholders and enhances executive retention.

Other Compensation and Benefits

We expect to offer various employee benefit plans to employees, including our named executive officers, including certain insurance benefits, as well as the 401(k) profit sharing plan. We may also provide our named executive officers with perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

Effective as of April 4, 2025, the Board adopted a form of Director Agreement to govern the terms of service and compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Director Agreement”). Under the Director Agreement, members of the Board will receive compensation for service on the Board and on committees of the Board consisting of the following: (i) subject to approval by the Board and Compensation Committee, a cash payment of $12,500 promptly following attendance at each quarterly Board meeting, for a total annual cash compensation of $50,000; and (ii) at the beginning of each year of service, and subject to approval by the Board and the Compensation Committee, a grant of restricted stock, with the number of shares determined by dividing $100,000 by the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on the date of the grant. The restricted stock granted pursuant to the Director Agreement will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to acceleration in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock award or the Company’s 2024 Incentive Award Plan.

We have entered into Director Agreements with each of David Sylvester, Lyman Dickerson, Alexandra Steele, Christopher Riley, Marcus Peperzak, and Robert Reardon. The terms of the Director Agreements are consistent with our standard form of Director Agreement described above, except with respect to the grants of restricted stock to Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Riley, which are as follows: (i) subject to approval by the Board and the Compensation Committee, in lieu of an annual grant of restricted stock, Mr. Dickerson will receive an initial grant of restricted stock equal to the number of shares determined by dividing $2,000,000 by the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant, and such grant of restricted stock will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to acceleration in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock award or the Company’s 2024 Incentive Award Plan, and (ii) subject to approval by the Board and the Compensation Committee, Mr. Riley will receive an annual grant of restricted stock equal to the number of shares determined by dividing $50,000 by the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

The grants of restricted stock to each of Mr. Sylvester, Mr. Dickerson, Ms. Steele, Mr. Riley, Mr. Peperzak, and Mr. Reardon pursuant to the Director Agreements were deferred by the Board. Accordingly, no awards of stock were granted to directors in 2025.

2024 Incentive Plan

On December 19, 2024, prior to the completion of the Business Combination, Holdco’s sole director and sole shareholder approved the Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive (the “2024 Incentive Plan”) under which Holdco may grant equity and equity-based incentive awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Pursuant to its terms, the 2024 Incentive Plan became effective on December 31, 2024, upon the Closing.

Administration. The Compensation Committee of the Board (for purposes of this section only, the “Committee”) will administer the 2024 Incentive Plan. The Committee will generally have the authority to designate participants, determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant, determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any awards granted under the 2024 Incentive Plan, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards and to adopt, alter and repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2024 Incentive Plan. The Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the 2024 Incentive Plan and to make any other determinations and/or take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2024 Incentive Plan, and any such determinations or actions taken by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons and entities. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of Holdco or any affiliate the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee in the 2024 Incentive Plan and that may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of awards to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Eligibility. Certain employees, directors, officers, advisors or consultants of Holdco or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2024 Incentive Plan.

*Number of Shares Authorized.*Holdco initially reserved 747,168 shares of Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Incentive Plan will increase automatically on January 1 of each of 2025 through 2034 by the number of shares equal to 5.0% of the total number of outstanding shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of Class A Common Stock as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2024 Incentive Plan, no more than the number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially reserved under the 2024 Incentive Plan may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the 2024 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2026, there were 1,153,722 shares of Class A Common stock authorized for issuance, of which 602,320 have been issued and are outstanding.

Shares of Class A Common Stock underlying awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised or are settled in cash will be available again for new awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan. If there is any change in Holdco’s corporate capitalization, the Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 Incentive Plan, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by awards then outstanding under the 2024 Incentive Plan, the limitations on awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitutions or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

The 2024 Incentive Plan has a term of 10 years from the Closing, and no further awards may be granted under the 2024 Incentive Plan after that date.

Awards Available for Grant. The Committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options (“ISOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, dividend equivalents, and/or performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. ISOs, in contrast to nonqualified stock options, may provide tax deferral beyond exercise and favorable capital gains tax treatment to their holders if certain holding period and other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, are satisfied. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive from us an amount in cash or shares equal to the appreciation of the shares subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of a stock option or SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the grant date (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders), except with respect to certain substitute awards granted in connection with a corporate transaction. The term of a stock option or SAR may not be longer than 10 years from grant (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders).

RSAs. RSAs are an award of nontransferable shares of Class A Common Stock that are subject to certain vesting conditions and other restrictions.

RSUs. RSUs are contractual promises to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock in the future, which may also remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met and may be accompanied by the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of common stock prior to the delivery of the underlying shares (i.e., dividend equivalent rights). The Committee may provide that the delivery of the shares underlying RSUs will be deferred if such delivery would result in a violation of applicable law. The terms and conditions applicable to RSUs will be determined by the Committee, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the 2024 Incentive Plan.

Other Stock or Cash-Based Awards. Other stock or cash based awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of Class A Common Stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of Class A Common Stock. Other stock or cash based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards or as standalone payments.

Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of Class A Common Stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are credited as of the dividend record dates during the period between the date an award is granted and the date such award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee; however, dividend equivalents will not be payable unless and until the underlying award becomes payable and will be subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying award.

Performance Awards. Performance awards granted pursuant to the 2024 Incentive Plan may be in the form of a cash bonus, or an award of performance shares or performance units denominated in shares of Class A Common Stock, that may be settled in cash, property or by issuance of those shares subject to the satisfaction or achievement of specified performance conditions.

Transferability. Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against Holdco or its affiliates. The Committee, however, may permit awards (other than ISOs) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of such family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by it.

Amendment and Termination; Repricing. In general, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2024 Incentive Plan at any time. However, stockholder approval to amend the 2024 Incentive Plan may be necessary if applicable law or the 2024 Incentive Plan so requires. No amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination will materially and adversely impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any award without the consent of the participant or recipient. Stockholder approval will not be required for any amendment that reduces the exercise price of any stock option or SAR, or cancels any stock option or SAR that has an exercise price that is greater than the then-current fair market value of Class A Common Stock in exchange for cash, other awards or stock options or SARs with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original stock options or SARs.

Adjustments; Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain capitalization events or corporate transactions (as set forth in the 2024 Incentive Plan), including the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Holdco with another corporation, the Committee may adjust the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of Holdco (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to an award, the exercise or strike price of an award, or any applicable performance measure, and may provide for the substitution or assumption of outstanding awards in a manner that substantially preserves the terms of such awards, the acceleration of the exercisability or lapse of restrictions applicable to outstanding awards and the cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for the consideration received by stockholders of Holdco in connection with such transaction.

Clawback Recovery Analysis

In connection with the restatement of our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Affected Periods, as described in this Annual Report, our Compensation Committee conducted a recovery analysis for the relevant period, as contemplated by Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act, Nasdaq Listing Standards, and in accordance with the Company’s Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. Based on this analysis, the Compensation Committee determined that the restatement did not impact the performance metrics used for executive compensation and therefore no recovery of incentive-based compensation was required.
