Equity Compensation

 

Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period. Accordingly, the Board periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of our Named Executive Officers and from time to time may grant equity incentive awards to them.

 

Currently, we typically grant restricted stock awards and do not grant stock options. We do not have a formal policy regarding the timing of granting stock option awards in relation to our disclosure of material nonpublic information; however our Compensation Committee does not target our grants of stock option awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, and we do not time the release of the material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

 

On June 11, 2025, we granted 291,667 restricted shares to Mr. Rodriguez, 138,889 restricted shares to Mr. Feldman, and 90,278 restricted shares to Mr. Zahut pursuant to the Aterian, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). One-third of the restricted shares shall vest on June 11, 2026, and 1/12th of the restricted shares shall vest each quarterly period thereafter, as described in more detail in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025” table below. All 90,278 shares granted to Mr. Zahut were forfeited on November 3, 2025 when he resigned from the Company.
