The RSUs vest quarterly in substantially equal installments.

Equity Incentive Plan

On October 15, 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Further on May 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, whether in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards. The general purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors by enabling them to share in the future growth of the Company’s business. On November 16, 2021 and December 6, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering all shares issuable under the Plan, which was subsequently amended on December 6, 2022 and September 15, 2023, November 22, 2023, and April 17, 2026.

The board of directors believes that granting equity-based compensation serves to promote continuity of management and provide for a shared interest in the welfare, growth and development of the Company. The Company believes that the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan will serve to advance the Company’s interests by enhancing its ability to (i) attract and retain employees, consultants, directors and advisors who are able to contribute to the Company’s ongoing success and development, (ii) reward those employees, consultants, directors and advisors for their contributions to the Company, and (iii) encourage employees, consultants, directors and advisors to participate in the Company’s long-term growth and success.

In addition to the RSU grants referenced above, on May 13, 2022, the Company granted stock options (the “Option Grants”) in the amount of (i) 1,389 shares to Chenlong Tan, our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 153 shares to Kevin Vassily, our former Chief Financial Officer. The Option Grants have an exercise price of $2,419.2 per share (the closing price on the grant date) and have a term of 10 years, will vest in stages upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-determined market capitalization and revenue or operating income targets set forth in the grant agreements. Upon Mr. Vassily’s resignation, stock options for 153 shares granted to him had been forfeited.

On August 29, 2024, the Company granted 556 shares of stock options (the “2024 Stock Options”) to Mr. Chenlong Tan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The options have an exercise price of $3,088.8 per share (which is 110% of the Fair Market Value of the stock on the grant date). The 2024 Stock Options have a term of 10 years and will vest as follows: 14 shares vested on the grant date (August 29, 2024), and 15 shares will vest on the first day of each month from September 1, 2024, to August 1, 2027.

On November 12, 2025, the Company granted $800,000 in RSUs as bonus to Chenlong Tan, the CEO of the Company. As a result, 1,127 RSUs, calculated based on the closing price, $709.85, on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Tan. The RSUs vested immediately but contained a deferred settlement provision. As a result, settlement of the vested RSUs shall occur on the earliest of the following Code Section 409A-permitted payment events: (1) change of control of the Company that qualifies as a “change in control event” as defined under Code Section 409A; (2) Reporting Person’s separation from service (subject to any required delay under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan; (3) upon the Reporting Person’s death or disability, or (4) in the event of an “unforeseeable financial emergency,” as defined under Code Section 409A.

During the years ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted an additional 2,480 shares of RSUs to the Company’s employees and directors, respectively.
