Annual Bonus Plan

On March 10, 2026, pursuant to the recommendation of the Compensation Committee the Board of Director approved the annual performance milestones to determine eligibility for, and the amount of, annual performance bonuses for the named executive officers of the Company for the fiscal year ending 2026 and onward (the “Bonus Plan”). The purpose of the adoption of the Bonus Plan is to incentivize and reward executive officers for achieving specified financial, operational, and strategic objectives.

The Bonus Plan sets the amount of bonus each fiscal year each named executive officer is eligible to receive and the performance criteria for such bonus, which is based on the following three metrics: annual revenue, EBITDA/gross margin, and employee retention. All of the Company’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the annual bonus plan. The target bonuses set for the named executive officers under the Bonus Plan are as follows: (1) Fawad Maqbool, Chief Executive Officer, 75% of base annual salary and (2) Louisa Sanfratello, Chief Financial Officer, and Jorge Flores, Chief Operating Officer, 45% of base annual salary. The performance weightings for the executive management team are 50% for the revenue metric, 35% for the operating profit metric (based on EBITDA/gross margin) and 15% for employee retention metric. If the performance of any metrics does not meet the applicable minimum threshold for that measure, no award will be earned for that measure. If the minimum threshold is achieved, the target bonus will apply. For each minimum metric obtained, the weighted percentage will apply linearly, then all line metrics percentage achieved are added to calculate final percentage for the final bonus calculation. If the maximum metric performance is achieved, for each metric achieved, 10% will be added to each line metric with the maximum bonus being equal to 105% for Mr. Maqbool, and 75% for Ms. Sanfratello and Mr. Flores. Calculation of bonus for performance between minimum and maximum thresholds will be determined by linear interpolation. In addition, upon Board approval at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus for a maximum of 85% of annual base salary may also be awarded to Mr. Fawad, and a maximum of 55% of annual base salary may be awarded to Ms. Sanfratello and Mr. Flores.

The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide incentives to individuals who perform services for the Company, and to promote the success of the Company’s business.

As of December 31, 2025, all outstanding stock options were issued according to the Company’s Amended and Restated Plan, and there remains 3,487,375 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated Plan.
