Item 8.01. Other Events.
Today, M-tron Industries, Inc. ("MPTI" or "Mtron Industries") announces an encompassing year end loyalty incentive program, aligning the company's employed professionals with shareholders for the years to come.
"One year after our new listing, today's one time grant provides an opportunity for employees to acquire an equity interest in MPTI at an exercise price of $36.06, and when fully exercised would increase the company's net cash position by approximately $6 million. This enhances our strategic flexibility. “said Bel Lazar, Mtron Industries chairman.
"We believe broad equity participation is a significant incentive for our team as they deliver mission critical components seeing increasing demand given the current scope of the modern battlefield requirements," said Michael Ferrantino MPTI's Chief Executive Officer.
Full time employees across MPTI operations in Orlando, Yankton, New Delhi, and Hong Kong will be awarded options based on their tenure with the company. The one-time grant is being made to approximately 185 employees, equates to approximately 183,000 shares of stock when exercised, and has immediate vesting for a term of 3 years upon award. Expenses associated with this stock-based compensation are non-cash and will not impact operating cash flow.
"Now as a newly listed defense space and aeronautics company with rugged, highly engineered designs made in America, this reward underscores our teammates for their dedication and service to shareholders, customers and our Nation." Furthered Mr. Ferrantino.
