Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) that covers the period of January 1, 2023 through January 1, 2026. The LTIP has two components of equity-based compensation. The first is 250,000 RSAs that were granted to members of management on April 2, 2024 and vested 33% on the date of grant and 33% on January 1, 2025 with the remainder to vest on January 1, 2026, subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of these RSAs of $640,500 will be recorded over the service period. The second is 250,000 Performance- based Restricted Stock Units (PSRUs) that would vest upon meeting certain revenue or adjusted EBITDA performance targets through December 31, 2025, subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of these PRSUs of $640,500 will be recorded if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that either performance condition will be achieved.
