  8. EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The following section provides compensation information pursuant to the scaled disclosure rules applicable to “emerging growth companies” and “smaller reporting companies” under the rules of the SEC and may contain statements regarding future individual and company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts. We are currently considered an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, for purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules. Accordingly, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation for our last completed fiscal year.

  9. Overview

    The Company’s executive compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers generally consist of a base salary, annual cash bonus opportunities, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards and other benefits, as described below. As further described below, our Named Executive Officers are also eligible to receive certain payments and benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements.

  10. Equity Award Grant Practices

    Equity Award Grant Practices The Company does not currently grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments, and generally is not in the practice of granting such awards. The Company has not granted such an award since August 2022. Accordingly, the Company has no specific policy or practice on the timing of such awards in relation to the disclosure of material non-public information by the Company. In the event that the Company determines to grant any such new awards, the Board will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing. While Holdings granted Mr. Scarbrough option-like instruments in the form of Profits Interests (as defined below) during fiscal year 2025, such Profits Interests represent partnership interests in Holdings (as defined below). Following our fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, Mr. Blair and Ms. D’Amato received grants of Profits Interests subject to the terms of the Holdings Incentive Plan (as defined below) and applicable award agreement.

    Profits Interests During fiscal year 2021, following the consummation of the transaction between us, Ignite Aggregator LP, and our then-existing equity holders entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement, certain of our executives received awards of Profits Interests pursuant to the TCO Group Holdings, L.P. Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Holdings Incentive Plan”), which are intended to be treated as “profits interests” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Holdings Incentive Plan is administered by the board of Holdings. The board of Holdings has the authority to administer and interpret the Holdings Incentive Plan, to determine the individuals who are eligible for a grant of the Profits Interests, to determine, alter, amend, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any award of Profits Interests, and to prescribe the purchase price or Hurdle Amount (as defined in the Holdings Incentive Plan) applicable to any award of Profits Interests. During fiscal year 2025, Mr. Scarbrough received a grant of 650,000 Profits Interests. 50% of such Profits Interests are subject to time-based vesting, vesting annually in substantially equal installments over four years on the first four anniversaries of November 4, 2024, subject to continued employment through each such vesting date. The remaining 50% of such Profits Interests are subject to performance-based vesting, and will vest as follows: (i) 33% if, upon the consummation of a Change of Control of Holdings, Ignite Aggregator LP, the vehicle through which Apax Partners holds its investment in TCO Group Holdings, achieves a multiple on invested capital, as calculated pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of TCO Group Holdings (“MOIC”) equal to at least 2x; and (ii) 100% if, upon the consummation of a Change of Control, Ignite Aggregator LP achieves a MOIC equal to at least 2.5x, in each case, subject to continued employment through the date of such Change of Control. None of the performance-based Profits Interests will vest if Ignite Aggregator LP achieves a MOIC less than 2x as of a Change of Control.

The performance-based vesting Profits Interests will remain eligible to vest following a termination without “Cause,” due to death or disability, or for “Good Reason” that, in each case, occurs within the 120-day period preceding the execution of a definitive agreement that ultimately results in such Change of Control. A “Change of Control” of Holdings is generally defined as (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets (including shares of common stock of the Company) of Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to unaffiliated parties, (b) a merger, reorganization, consolidation or other similar corporate transaction of Holdings as a result of which, unaffiliated parties beneficially own a majority of the outstanding voting securities, and rights to the majority of the residual economic interests in the common equity, of a successor entity, or (c) the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, and rights to the majority of the residual economic interests in the common equity, of Holdings by unaffiliated parties.
