EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| (1) Non-performance-based pay consists of time-based cash, which includes base salary, non-performance based bonuses, such as retention or sign-on bonuses; and time-based restricted stock units (“TRSUs”). |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| (2) Excludes the severance benefits that Ms. Schwartz received pursuant to the Schwartz Transition Agreement (as defined below). |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| (3) Performance-based pay includes long-term incentives that are directly tied to performance metrics or stock price hurdles (as described below in the section titled “Compensation Philosophy and Objectives.”) The value included in the table for performance-based long-term incentives is the grant date fair value of such compensation as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below. |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| (1) Non-Performance LTI includes stock options, restricted stock units, and non-performance cash long-term incentives, as applicable. Performance LTI includes performance options, performance shares, and performance-based cash long-term incentives, as applicable. The table reflects the average mix by percentage for the latest annual year of compensation, as of December 2025, and excludes new hire awards. The table incorporates the most recently reported data from proxy statement, Form 8-K, and Form 4 filings for the top three to five disclosed executive positions of each peer company. |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| • | Increased Reliance on Performance-Based Long-Term Equity Incentives: We continued our implementation of a long-term performance incentive program, under which our NEOs serving at the beginning of 2025 were granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) that were eligible to vest based on achievement of product-level profit (“PLP”) objectives over the 2025 fiscal year. At the time the PLP PRSUs were approved, we believed that PLP was an important metric to incentivize progress toward durable unit economics across our product |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
offering, while maintaining focus on strategic high-impact revenue opportunities. Certain of our NEOs serving at the beginning of 2025 also received annual awards in the form of time-based restricted stock units (“TRSUs”). All of these PRSUs were forfeited based on our 2025 PLP performance. In addition, in connection with their commencement of employment in 2025, each of Mr. Nejatian, Ms. Schwartz, Mr. Matheson and Ms. LeGrice, our NEOs who continue to serve as executive officers, received long-term incentive awards that were either entirely or substantially performance-based. Specifically, all of the equity incentives granted to Mr. Matheson and over 97%, 81% and 91% of the long-term incentives granted to Mr. Nejatian, Ms. Schwartz and Ms. LeGrice, respectively, were PRSUs that will vest only upon the achievement of stock price hurdles that are intended to represent sustained stock price improvement over our stock price at the time such awards were granted and time-based vesting requirements that require service over extended periods. The details of our long-term incentives granted in 2025, and a detailed definition of PLP, are as described below under “Compensation Elements–Long-Term Equity Compensation.” PLP is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Annex A for further details and a reconciliation of PLP to its nearest comparable GAAP measure.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| • | Discontinuation of Annual Performance Bonus Plan Commencing in 2026: For 2025, we established an annual performance-based cash bonus program under which all NEOs who were serving at the beginning of 2025 were eligible for performance-based bonuses based on the achievement of pre-established corporate performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee. However, our NEOs who were hired during 2025 and continue to serve as executive officers are not eligible for annual cash performance bonuses, as our Compensation Committee has determined to discontinue the annual bonus program for executives, in favor of market-based base salaries and more emphasis on delivering target total compensation in the form of long-term incentives tied in substantial part to stock price performance to emphasize building sustainable long-term value aligning executives’ incentives with our stockholders. None of our NEOs who were participants in the 2025 annual performance bonus program received a payout under such program. The details of our former annual performance bonus program, and performance against fiscal 2025 objectives, are as described below under “Compensation Elements–Annual Cash Performance Bonuses.” |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Chief Executive Officer Compensation Package On September 10, 2025, we entered into an employment offer letter with Kaz Nejatian in connection with his appointment as our CEO (the “Nejatian Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Nejatian is entitled to receive cash and equity compensation. The Compensation Committee and the Board developed Mr. Nejatian’s compensation package by considering Mr. Nejatian’s expected criticality to the success of the business and achieving our long-term profitability goals and taking into account the size and structure necessary to induce Mr. Nejatian to join the Company. Our Compensation Committee and Board determined that significant equity awards substantially all in the form of PRSUs with performance-based vesting tied to challenging and rigorous stock price hurdles and service-based vesting requirements would be the most motivating form of compensation for Mr. Nejatian. The Nejatian First PRSU Award (as defined below) consists of 40,886,344 PRSUs and time-vests in installments over a period of five years from the date of grant, with 20% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of the award vesting in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Nejatian’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date. Vesting of each installment is also subject to the achievement of an average closing stock price that equals or exceeds $6.24 over the 60 trading day period preceding the applicable vesting date or any of the four immediately following vesting dates. The Nejatian Second PRSU Award (as defined below) consists of 40,886,344 PRSUs, has a five-year performance period, and is divided into seven equal tranches, with each tranche subject to a performance-based vesting condition that requires achievement of an average closing price stock price hurdle (equal to $9, $13, $17, $21, $25, $29, and $33) over a 60 trading day period commencing after the first anniversary of the grant date and ending prior to the end of the performance period. In addition, each tranche is subject to a time-based vesting condition. We believe the size and structure of the award aligns Mr. Nejatian’s interests as CEO with our stockholders and durable long-term goals better than providing more traditional compensation such as a base salary, an annual bonus opportunity, or an annual long-term incentive award. Accordingly, the awards granted to Mr. Nejatian are designed to incentivize him to continue to not only lead the Company over the long term, but to provide him with a significant challenge to create meaningful long-term stockholder value above the trading price of our Common Stock at the time he joined the Company.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The closing price of our Common Stock on the date that Mr. Nejatian was appointed CEO, September 10, 2025, was $5.86. This represented a significant increase from the Company's Common Stock price earlier in 2025, which had traded below $1.00 per share as recently as June 2025. The stock price hurdles embedded in Mr. Nejatian's PRSU awards were established relative to the stock price at the time of his appointment, and accordingly require sustained stock price appreciation above the higher baseline at which the awards were granted. The structure of Mr. Nejatian’s compensation package helps ensure that he will continue to work closely with the Board and our management team to execute on our objectives that are critical to achieving our profitability and performance goals over the long-term of the awards. Beginning in 2027, we expect that such performance-based equity awards will comprise 100% of Mr. Nejatian’s compensation opportunity. While Mr. Nejatian will not receive an annual cash bonus, he was provided with a cash make-whole award and an equity make-whole award consisting of TRSUs which were granted to Mr. Nejatian in respect of compensation awarded to him by his former employer that he forfeited in order to accept employment with us. Specifically, Mr. Nejatian left significant unvested time-based equity awards granted by his former employer behind when he determined to join us. The cash make-whole award and the TRSUs that we granted in connection with his employment represented only a portion of the value of such unvested awards at the time of Mr. Nejatian’s departure from his former employer. The make-whole awards and PRSUs awarded to Mr. Nejatian are intended to serve as Mr. Nejatian’s exclusive compensation for his initial five years of employment with the Company. Mr. Nejatian’s compensation arrangements include:

Mr. Nejatian was awarded the PRSUs, which represent substantially all of Mr. Nejatian’s compensation opportunity. The PRSUs are tied to both stock price hurdles and time-based vesting requirements as described below under “Long-Term Equity Compensation—2025 Make-Whole and Sign-On Equity Awards.” |

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| What We Do: | What We Don’t Do: | | • A Significant Portion of Compensation is At-Risk. Under our executive compensation program, a significant portion of compensation is “at risk” based on our performance, with long-term equity incentives representing the primary driver of our executive compensation program, to align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders. In 2025, approximately 97% of our current executive officers’ compensation, on an aggregate basis, was performance-based and at-risk. • Independent Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consists solely of independent directors who establish our compensation policies and practices. • Independent Compensation Adviser. The Compensation Committee has engaged its own compensation consultant to provide information, analysis and other advice on executive compensation independent of management. This compensation consultant performed no other consulting or other services for us in 2025. • Annual Executive Compensation Review. The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review and approval of our compensation strategy, including a review and determination of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes and a review of our compensation-related risk profile. Such review ensures that our executive compensation program is aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and incentivizes execution against the objectives critical to reaching our profitability goals. • Pay-for-Performance Philosophy. The majority of our continuing NEOs’ target total direct compensation opportunities are dependent upon, our long-term results as measured through company performance, our stock price and/or total stockholder return, thereby aligning the interests of our NEOs and our stockholders. • “Double-Trigger” Change-in-Control Arrangements. Our post-employment compensation arrangements in the event of a change in control of the Company are “double-trigger” arrangements that require both a change in control of the Company plus a qualifying termination of employment before payments and benefits are paid. • Succession Planning. We annually review the risks associated with our key executive officer positions to ensure adequate succession plans are in development. • Stock Ownership Guidelines. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and directors in order to further promote the alignment of their interests with those of our stockholders. • Clawback Policy. We maintain a compensation recovery policy as required by Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act and the corresponding listing standard adopted by the Nasdaq, which provides for the mandatory recovery of certain erroneously awarded incentive compensation from our executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement to correct the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws. | • No Executive Retirement Plans. We do not offer pension plans or other defined benefit retirement plans or arrangements to our NEOs. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our Section 401(k) retirement savings plan on the same basis as our other eligible full-time employees (with the exception of our CEO, who is not eligible for the Company 401(k) plan contribution). • Limited Perquisites. We provide limited perquisites and other personal benefits to our NEOs and such benefits generally are only provided when they serve a legitimate business purpose. • No Special Welfare or Health Benefits. Our executive officers participate in our broad-based company-sponsored health and welfare benefit plans and programs on the same basis as our other full-time employees. • No Post-Employment Tax Payment Reimbursement. We do not provide any excise tax reimbursement payments (including “gross- ups”) on any payments or benefits contingent upon a change in control of the Company. • No Hedging of Our Equity Securities. We prohibit our executive officers, all other employees and the non-employee members of our Board from engaging in certain derivative transactions and from hedging our securities, except as otherwise pre-approved by the Board. • Limited Pledging of Our Equity Securities. We prohibit our executive officers, all other employees and the non-employee members of our Board from holding our securities in a margin account. We also prohibit pledging our securities as collateral for a loan without the prior consent of our Chief Legal Officer. • No “Single Trigger” Change-in-Control Arrangements. We do not provide cash severance or automatic vesting of equity awards based solely upon a change in control of the Company. |

These factors provide the framework for compensation decision-making and final decisions by the Compensation Committee or its recommendations to our Board for final decisions regarding the compensation opportunity for each executive officer. The Compensation Committee does not weigh these factors in any predetermined manner, nor does it apply any formulas in developing its compensation decisions or recommendations. The members of the Compensation Committee consider this information in light of their individual experience, knowledge of the Company, knowledge of the competitive market, knowledge of each executive officer and business judgment in making decisions and recommendations. Peer Group and Competitive Positioning The Compensation Committee believes that comparisons with companies with similar financial characteristics and business profiles are useful guides to evaluate the competitiveness of our executive compensation program and related policies and practices. The Compensation Committee uses data drawn from a select peer group of companies to make decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including our NEOs. The Compensation Committee uses the peer group compensation data as one of several factors in assessing executive pay program design and total equity utilization. We also supplement the data for our peer group with published compensation surveys where appropriate. The Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Benchmark results do not, in and of themselves, determine individual compensation decisions and we do not target specific

pay percentiles. Overall, we believe that use of information from the peer group enables the Compensation Committee to create better alignment between executive pay and performance and to help ensure that we can attract and retain high-performing executive leaders. Upon the recommendation of Compensia, the Compensation Committee evaluated companies identified by Compensia based on the following primary criteria, and approved a peer group for purposes of benchmarking executive compensation for 2025 and 2026, respectively:

Due to our unique business model, in August 2025, our Compensation Committee evaluated our peer group, giving primary consideration to industry-specific peers, gross margin, and market capitalization as identified above, when identifying the appropriate peer group. The fiscal 2025 peer group impacted the executive compensation decisions made in the first quarter of 2025 with respect to the NEOs then employed. The Compensation Committee will consider any potential updates to our peer group when making executive compensation decisions in 2026.

Compensation Elements For 2025, our executive compensation program consisted of three principal elements – base salary, annual performance bonuses, and long-term incentive equity incentives in the form of TRSUs and PRSUs. It also included sign-on and retention bonuses, participation in our executive severance plan and our broad-based health and welfare benefit programs. Base Salaries We provide a base salary as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers, other than Mr. Nejatian, allowing them a degree of certainty relative to the portion of their variable compensation, which consists of equity awards with values that are generally tied to the price of our Common Stock. The Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of base salaries as an element of compensation that helps to attract and retain highly qualified executive talent. The initial base salaries of our executive officers are established at the time they entered into an employment offer letter or confirmatory employment offer letter with us and take into account their qualifications, experience, comparable market data and prior base salary level. For the executive officers hired in the second half of 2025, we specifically considered the compensation the officer would forego at their previous position, the level of compensation necessary to induce them to join the Company, and the extent to which each officer’s AI capabilities, dedication to collective success, and execution are critical to achieving our long-term performance and profitability goals. The Compensation Committee reviews the annual base salaries of our executive officers, including our NEOs, as part of its annual review of the compensation arrangements of our executive officers, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by its compensation consultant, the recommendations of our CEO and the factors set forth in “Compensation-Setting Process – Setting Target Total Direct Compensation” above.

Annual Cash Performance Bonuses In March 2025, our Compensation Committee established a formal annual bonus program for 2025, under which each NEO who was then in employment was eligible for a 2025 performance bonus based upon the achievement of pre-established corporate performance goals approved by our Compensation Committee. Target bonuses were set as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary earned during 2025 and were expected to be paid out in the first quarter of the following year. The target bonuses for our bonus-eligible NEOs for 2025 are set forth in the table below.
Compensation Elements
| Name | Target Bonus (as % of base salary) | | Shrisha Radhakrishna | 50% | | Carrie Wheeler | 50% | | Selim Freiha | 50% | | Sydney Schaub | 50% |
Compensation Elements
In March 2025, the Compensation Committee established the corporate performance metric and goals for the year. This metric was set by the Compensation Committee after considering management input and our overall strategic objectives. In March 2025, the Board approved the 2025 performance metric and goals with respect to Ms. Wheeler’s compensation. All final bonus payments to our NEOs are determined by our Compensation Committee. The actual bonuses awarded can be more or less than the target, depending on the achievement of corporate objectives and may also vary based on other factors at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under our 2025 annual bonus plan, the maximum bonus payable to an NEO was 200% of his or her target bonus. Performance Measure. For 2025, the Compensation Committee determined to continue to use ANI as the corporate performance metric for our 2025 annual performance bonus program, which is aligned with our goal of driving the Company to sustainable, profitable growth and moving to a positive cash flow position. ANI is a non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measure and is calculated as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses, certain expenses that are not directly related to our revenue-generating operations, and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. ANI also aligns the timing of inventory valuation adjustments recorded under GAAP to the period in which the related revenue is recorded. As a result, we believe ANI better reflects our cash flow position than GAAP net income (loss). A detailed definition and full reconciliation of ANI to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in Annex A attached to this proxy statement.
Compensation Elements
Performance Period. The 2025 annual bonus program had an annual performance period covering January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Performance Levels. The goals for ANI were set at levels that we consider to be rigorous and challenging, based in part on our evaluation of the relevant risks and opportunities. The threshold, target, and maximum performance levels were set at 35%, 100%, and 200%, respectively, which we believed required strong execution for any payout with respect to the corporate objectives and represented a significant challenge. Payout levels represent the amount to be paid to NEOs based on the level of actual performance relative to the goals. The performance levels and corresponding goals for each performance period for our NEOs under the 2025 annual bonus plan are summarized in the table below.
Compensation Elements
| | | ANI (in millions) | | Performance Level | Payout as a % of Target | Metric | | <Threshold | 0% | <$(155.0) | | Threshold | 35% | $(155.0) | | Target | 100% | $(115.0) | | Maximum | 200% | $(95.0) |
Compensation Elements
Payout Determination for 2025. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee assessed ANI performance for the 2025 performance period relative to the performance goals and determined that the Company had an ANI loss of $(195) million for 2025, which was below the threshold level of performance. Because the threshold performance goal for ANI was not attained under the 2025 bonus plan, no bonuses were paid under the 2025 annual bonus plan. In addition, none of the bonus eligible NEOs, except for Mr. Radhakrishna, remained in employment on the normal bonus payment date and so would not have been entitled to a bonus payment in any event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Radhakrishna received an annual bonus in respect of 2025 in the amount of $500,000, which annual bonus was guaranteed pursuant to his amended employment offer letter, subject to his continued employment through December 31, 2025. The Compensation Committee approved such bonus in August 2025 and believed it was appropriate in order to retain him during a critical transformation period and to recognize Mr. Radhakrishna’s increased responsibilities in his new role as President and interim Principal Executive Officer, his willingness to step into the new role in light of the leadership transition, and help ensure business continuity. The Compensation Committee also approved a guaranteed bonus for each of Mr. Freiha and Ms. Schaub in respect of 2025 in the amount of $300,000 and $200,000, respectively, contingent on employment through December 31, 2025, but such bonuses were not paid because neither NEO met such employment condition. Suspension of Annual Cash Bonus Plan In February 2026, the Compensation Committee determined to suspend the 2026 bonus program indefinitely, with respect to its executive officers and other employees. This change in our compensation philosophy signals a desire by the Compensation Committee to minimize guaranteed and short-term performance-based compensation that does not incentivize long-term value creation, while providing our executives’ and employees’ target total compensation opportunities in the form of market-based base salaries and long-term equity incentives closely aligned with promoting a culture of ownership and building sustainable long-term stockholder value. Cash Make-Whole Award to CEO In connection with his commencement of employment, pursuant to his offer letter, Mr. Nejatian was granted a $15,000,000 cash make-whole award that will vest on the nine month-anniversary of his employment commencement date, subject to his continued employment as CEO of the Company through such vesting date. The cash make-whole award was granted to Mr. Nejatian in respect of compensation awarded to him by his former employer that he forfeited in order to accept employment with us. The cash make-whole award is subject to accelerated vesting upon Mr. Nejatian’s involuntary termination of employment without cause, for good reason, or due to his death or disability.

Long-Term Equity Compensation 2025 Annual Grants We believe that providing long-term incentives in the form of equity awards encourages our executive officers, including our NEOs, to take a long-term outlook and provides them with an incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner who is motivated toward high-quality decision making and appropriate risk-taking. By providing opportunities for our executive officers, including our NEOs, to benefit from future successes in the Company through the appreciation of the value of their equity awards, our Board and the Compensation Committee believe that equity awards align our executive officers’ interests and contributions with the long-term interests of our stockholders. In addition, our Board and the Compensation Committee believe that offering meaningful equity ownership in the Company is helpful in retaining our executive officers, including our NEOs, and other key employees, who are critical to achieving our performance and profitability goals. In March 2025, the Compensation Committee approved fiscal 2025 equity awards for Ms. Wheeler, Mr. Radhakrishna, Mr. Freiha and Ms. Schaub, as shown in the table below. The awards granted to Ms. Wheeler were based on a target value of $3,000,000 for each of her TRSU and PRSU awards (at target).
Compensation Elements
The extent to which the annual 2025 PRSUs were to become eligible to vest was determined based on the performance level achieved, with 0% eligible to vest for performance below the threshold level and 200% eligible to vest for performance at the maximum level. Any PRSUs that became eligible to vest based on performance relative to the 2025 performance objective were scheduled to vest, as to one third of the earned PRSUs, on March 15, 2026, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through such date, and as to the remaining two thirds of the earned PRSUs, in eight substantially equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the NEO’s continued employment with us through such vesting date. In the event of a change in control prior to December 31, 2025, the PLP goal would be prorated based on the portion of the 2025 calendar year elapsed prior to the change in control, and the PRSUs that are eligible to vest will be determined as of such change in control by measuring the Company’s performance as of such change in control relative to such prorated goal. Following the change in control, the PRSUs determined to be eligible to vest as of such change in control would be subject to the time-based vesting schedule described above, provided that upon an NEO’s termination by us without cause or upon a resignation by an NEO for good reason within 12 months following the change in control, any unvested PRSUs shall become immediately vested. In addition, if the PRSUs are not continued, assumed or replaced in such change in control, the PRSUs determined to be eligible to vest as of such change in control would become fully vested as of immediately prior to such change in control.

| • | Make Whole RSU Award: Mr. Nejatian was granted a make-whole inducement award in the form of 1,580,611 TRSUs that will vest in full on June 15, 2026. The make-whole TRSUs had a grant date fair value of $15,000,000 and were granted to Mr. Nejatian in respect of compensation awarded to him by his former employer that he forfeited in order to accept employment with us. The make-whole TRSUs are subject to accelerated vesting upon Mr. Nejatian’s involuntary termination of employment without cause, for good reason, or due to his death or disability. |
Compensation Elements
| • | First Sign-On PRSU Award: Mr. Nejatian was granted an inducement award of 40,886,344 PRSUs (the “Nejatian First PRSU Award”) that is eligible to vest based on both performance-based conditions tied to a stock price hurdle and time-based vesting conditions. The Nejatian First PRSU Award time-vests in installments over a period of five years from the date of grant, with 20% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of the award vesting in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Nejatian’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date. Vesting of each installment is also subject to the achievement of an average closing stock price that equals or exceeds $6.24 (the “Stock Price Gate”) over the 60 trading day period preceding the applicable vesting date or any of the four immediately following vesting dates. The Nejatian First PRSU Award includes certain termination-related vesting provisions generally providing for, in the event of an involuntary termination of employment without cause, for good reason, or due to Mr. Nejatian’s death or disability, accelerated vesting of up to 1/10th of the Nejatian First PRSU Award, regardless of the achievement of |

the Stock Price Gate. The Nejatian First PRSU Award is also subject to certain double trigger vesting provisions that apply in connection with a change in control. In the event of a change in control, provided the change in control price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds the Stock Price Gate, Mr. Nejatian will remain eligible to time-vest in the PRSUs following the change in control. In the event his employment is terminated by us without cause, by him for good reason, or due to his death or disability, in each case within three months prior to or 12 months following a change in control, Mr. Nejatian will vest in a number of the earned PRSUs in which he remains eligible to vest following the change in control determined based on the change in control price of our Common Stock (5/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $25.00 but less than $29.00, 6/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $29.00 but less than $33.00, and all of the remaining PRSUs if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $33.00.

| • | Second Sign-On PRSU Award: Mr. Nejatian was granted a second inducement award of 40,886,344 PRSUs (the “Nejatian Second PRSU Award”) that has a five-year performance period and is divided into seven (7) equal tranches, with each tranche subject to a performance-based vesting condition that requires achievement of an average closing price stock price hurdle (equal to $9 (“Tranche 1”), $13 (“Tranche 2”), $17 (“Tranche 3”), $21 (“Tranche 4”), $25 (“Tranche 5”), $29 (“Tranche 6”) and $33 (“Tranche 7”)) over a 60 trading day period commencing after the first anniversary of the grant date and ending prior to the end of the performance period. In addition, each tranche is subject to a time-based vesting condition: the first tranche of the Nejatian Second PRSU Award will satisfy the time-based vesting condition on the first anniversary of the date of grant, Tranches 2 and 3 of the Nejatian Second PRSU Award will vest quarterly over the second and third years following the date of grant, respectively, Tranches 4 and 5 of the Nejatian Second PRSU Award will vest quarterly over the fourth year following the date of grant, and Tranches 6 and 7 of the Nejatian Second PRSU Award will vest quarterly over the fifth year following the date of grant. Upon a termination due to Mr. Nejatian’s death or disability, each tranche for which the stock price hurdle has been achieved but which remains subject to a time-vesting requirement will immediately vest. In addition, upon Mr. Nejatian’s involuntary termination of employment without cause, for good reason, or due to his death or disability, Mr. Nejatian will be treated as if he had remained employed for an additional 60 trading days for purposes of the achievement of any time-based vesting condition and the performance-based vesting condition applicable to the tranche with the lowest stock price hurdle that remains unvested as of Mr. Nejatian’s termination date. The Nejatian Second PRSU Award is also subject to certain double trigger vesting provisions that apply in connection with a change in control. In the event of a change in control, any tranche for which the stock price hurdle is achieved based on the change in control price of our Common Stock will remain eligible to time-vest following the change in control. In the event Mr. Nejatian’s employment is terminated by us without cause, by him for good reason, or due to his death or disability, in each case within three months prior to or 12 months following a change in control, Mr. Nejatian will vest in a number of the earned PRSUs in which he remains eligible to vest following the change in control determined based on the change in control price of our Common Stock (5/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $25.00 but less than $29.00, 6/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $29.00 but less than $33.00, and all of the remaining PRSUs if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $33.00. |

The Compensation Committee and the Board developed Mr. Nejatian’s equity compensation package by considering Mr. Nejatian’s expected criticality to the success of the business and achieving our long-term profitability goals and taking into account the size and structure necessary to induce Mr. Nejatian to join the Company. Our Compensation Committee and Board determined that significant equity awards substantially all in the form of PRSUs with performance-based vesting tied to challenging and rigorous stock price hurdles and service-based vesting requirements would be the most motivating form of compensation for Mr. Nejatian. Further, we believe the size and structure of the award aligns Mr. Nejatian’s interests as CEO with our stockholders and durable long-term goals more effectively than providing more traditional compensation such as a base salary, an annual bonus opportunity, or an annual long-term incentive award. Accordingly, the awards granted to Mr. Nejatian are designed to not only motivate him to continue to lead the Company over the long term, but to also provide him with a significant incentive to create meaningful stockholder value above the trading price of our Common Stock at the time he joined the Company. The closing price of our Common Stock on the date that Mr. Nejatian was appointed CEO, September 10, 2025, was $5.86. This represented a significant increase from the Company's Common Stock price earlier in 2025, which had traded below $1.00 per share as recently as June 2025. The stock price hurdles embedded in Mr. Nejatian's PRSU awards were established relative to the stock price at the time of his appointment, and accordingly require sustained stock price appreciation above the higher baseline at which the awards were granted. The
Compensation Elements
structure of Mr. Nejatian’s compensation package helps ensure that he will continue to work closely with the Board and our management team to execute on our objectives that are critical to achieving our profitability and performance goals over the long-term of the awards. Beginning in 2027, we expect that performance-based equity awards will comprise 100% of Mr. Nejatian’s compensation opportunity. Awards to Other NEOs Pursuant to each of their respective employment offer letters, each of Ms. Schwartz, Mr. Matheson and Ms. LeGrice was granted an award of PRSUs in December 2025 (“First PRSU Award”) in connection with the commencement of their employment (or appointment as CFO, in the case of Ms. Schwartz) that is eligible to vest based on both performance-based conditions tied to a stock price hurdle and time-based vesting conditions. The First PRSU Award will time-vest as to 20% of the PRSUs on April 15, 2026 and as to the remaining 80% in quarterly installments thereafter, such that 100% of the award will satisfy the time-based vesting condition on April 15, 2030, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date. The First PRSU Award is also subject to the achievement of the Stock Price Gate over the 30 trading day period preceding each applicable vesting date or any of the four immediately following vesting dates. The table below sets forth the number of PRSUs subject to the First PRSU Award granted to each of the applicable NEOs:
Compensation Elements
Pursuant to each of their respective employment offer letters, each of Ms. Schwartz, Mr. Matheson and Ms. LeGrice was also granted a second award of PRSUs in December 2025 (“Second PRSU Award”) in connection with the commencement of their employment (or appointment as CFO, in the case of Ms. Schwartz) that has a performance period beginning on October 15, 2026 (or April 15, 2026 in the case of Mr. Matheson) and ending on October 15, 2030 and is divided into 7 equal tranches, with each tranche subject to a performance-based vesting condition that requires achievement of an average closing price stock price hurdle (equal to $9 (“Tranche 1”), $13 (“Tranche 2”), $17 (“Tranche 3”), $21 (“Tranche 4”), $25 (“Tranche 5”), $29 (“Tranche 6”) and $33 (“Tranche 7”)) over a 30 trading day period that both begins and ends during the performance period. In addition, each tranche is subject to a time-based vesting condition: Tranche 1 vests on April 15, 2026; Tranche 2 vests in four quarterly installments starting July 15, 2026; Tranche 3 vests in four quarterly installments starting July 15, 2027; Tranches 4 and 5 vest in four quarterly installments starting July 15, 2028; Tranche 6 vests in four quarterly installments starting July 15, 2029; and Tranche 7 vests in four quarterly installments starting January 15, 2030, such that time-based vesting condition will be satisfied with respect to 100% of the award on October 15, 2030. The table below sets forth the number of PRSUs subject to the Second PRSU Award granted to each of the applicable NEOs:
Compensation Elements
In addition, Ms. LeGrice was granted an additional time-based sign-on equity award of 500,000 TRSUs that vests over a period of five years from October 15, 2025, with 20% vesting on the six-month anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remainder vesting in quarterly installments thereafter. The TRSUs are subject to full accelerated vesting upon Ms. LeGrice’s involuntary termination of employment without cause or for good reason. Finally, in connection with her appointment as our interim CFO, in November 2025, Ms. Schwartz was granted a special retention award of 400,641 TRSUs, which vests in three equal installments on each of November 15, 2025, February 15, 2026 and May 15, 2026, subject to full acceleration if Ms. Schwartz is terminated other than for cause before May 15, 2026. In determining the foregoing awards to the above NEOs, the Compensation Committee took into account the equity compensation the officer would forego at their previous position (if applicable), the level of equity compensation necessary to induce them to join the Company, and the extent to which each officer’s AI capabilities, dedication to collective success, and execution are critical to achieving our long-term performance and profitability goals. The Compensation Committee additionally determined that significant equity awards, substantially in the form of PRSUs with performance-based vesting
Compensation Elements
tied to challenging and rigorous stock price hurdles and service-based vesting requirements, would most effectively align such NEOs’ interests as officers with our stockholders and durable long-term goals more effectively than providing more traditional compensation elements such as an annual bonus opportunity or an annual long-term incentive award. In 2025, our current non-CEO NEOs’ compensation was approximately 88.6% performance-based on an aggregate basis. Accelerated Vesting Provisions of PRSUs Granted to Our Other NEOs The First PRSU Award granted to our other NEOs includes certain termination-related vesting provisions generally providing for, in the event of an involuntary termination of employment without cause or for good reason, accelerated vesting of up to 1/10th of the First PRSU Award, regardless of the achievement of the Stock Price Gate. The First PRSU Award is also subject to certain double trigger vesting provisions that apply in connection with a change in control. In the event of a change in control, provided the change in control price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds the Stock Price Gate, each NEO will remain eligible to time-vest in the PRSUs following the change in control. In the event the NEO’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the NEO for good reason, in each case within 3 months prior to or 12 months following a change in control, the NEO will vest in a number of the earned PRSUs in which he or she remains eligible to vest following the change in control determined based on the change in control price of our Common Stock (5/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $25.00 but less than $29.00, 6/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $29.00 but less than $33.00, and all of the remaining PRSUs if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $33.00. With respect to the Second PRSU Award granted to our other NEOs, upon a termination due to the NEO’s death or disability, each tranche for which the stock price hurdle has been achieved but which remains subject to a time-vesting requirement will immediately vest. In addition, upon the NEO’s involuntary termination of employment without cause or by the NEO for good reason, the NEO will be treated as if he or she had remained employed for an additional 60 trading days for purposes of the achievement of any time-based vesting condition and the performance-based vesting condition applicable to the tranche with the lowest stock price hurdle that remains unvested as of the NEO’s termination date. The Second PRSU Award is also subject to certain double trigger vesting provisions that apply in connection with a change in control. In the event of a change in control, any tranche for which the stock price hurdle is achieved based on the change in control price of our Common Stock will remain eligible to time-vest following the change in control. In the event the NEO’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the NEO for good reason, in each case within 3 months prior to or 12 months following a change in control, the NEO will vest in a number of the earned PRSUs in which he or she remains eligible to vest following the change in control determined based on the change in control price of our Common Stock (5/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $25.00 but less than $29.00, 6/7 of the total PRSUs (less the sum of any previously vested or forfeited PRSUs) if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $29.00 but less than $33.00, and all of the remaining PRSUs if the change in control price is equal to or greater than $33.00. Health and Welfare Benefits Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the same employee benefit plans, and on the same terms and conditions, as all other full-time, salaried U.S. employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of such plans. These benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance, business travel insurance, an employee assistance program, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, commuter benefits and reimbursement for mobile phone coverage. We also sponsor a Section 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “Section 401(k) Plan”) that provides our executive officers, including our NEOs, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis subject to the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the same extent as our other eligible full-time employees (with the exception of our CEO, who is not eligible for the Company 401(k) plan contribution). Participants are able to defer up to 90% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual limits under the Code. All participants’ interests in their deferrals are 100% vested when contributed. In 2025, we contributed up to $1,100 to employees’ 401(k) accounts. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our Section 401(k) Plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs.
Employment Offer Letters
Employment Offer Letters We enter into written employment offer letters with each of our executive officers. Each of these employment offer letters is approved by our Compensation Committee or the Board. We believe that these arrangements are necessary to secure the services or the continued service of these individuals in a highly competitive job market. None of these employment offer letters has a specific term, each letter provides for “at will” employment (meaning that either we or the NEO may terminate the employment relationship at any time without cause), and each agreement generally sets forth the NEO’s base salary, eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans and programs in effect for similarly situated employees during their employment. In some instances, these employment offer letters provided for a sign-on bonus and/or retention payment and, in certain instances, provided for certain of the NEOs to receive equity awards on the terms and conditions as set forth in the employment offer letter. In addition, each NEO either agreed to execute and be bound by our Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement or confirmed that the NEO agreed to continue to be bound by the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement they had previously executed, which contains, among other things, restrictive covenants pursuant to which such officers agree (i) to refrain from soliciting our customers during the term of their employment and (ii) to refrain from soliciting our employees during the term of their employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter. The Company’s standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement for executive officers does not contain any non-competition restrictive covenants to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Kaz Nejatian On September 10, 2025, we entered into an offer letter with Kaz Nejatian in connection with his appointment as our CEO (the “Nejatian Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Nejatian is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $1, is not eligible to receive an annual bonus and received certain equity make-whole awards and equity awards, as described above under “Cash Make-Whole Compensation to CEO” and “Long-Term Equity Compensation—2025 Make-Whole and Sign-On Equity Awards.” In addition, pursuant to his offer letter, Mr. Nejatian was also granted a $15,000,000 cash make-whole award that will vest on the 9 month-anniversary of his employment commencement date, subject to his continued employment as CEO of the Company through such vesting date. Christina Schwartz Ms. Schwartz previously served as our Chief Accounting Officer until May 2, 2025, pursuant to a transition agreement with us dated September 30, 2024 (the “Schwartz Transition Agreement”). Under the Schwartz Transition Agreement, Ms. Schwartz received a monthly base salary of $66,666.67 for the period from November 4, 2024 to May 2, 2025. Upon Ms. Schwartz’s termination of employment on May 2, 2025, in exchange for a release of claims, she was entitled to receive cash severance in the amount of $200,000, payable in monthly installments over 6 months, a cash payment equal to the Company's best estimate of the monthly premiums for COBRA continuation coverage for Ms. Schwartz and her eligible
Employment Offer Letters
Amended Radhakrishna Offer Letter but he was guaranteed a minimum annual bonus for 2025 of $500,000 in order to recognize his increased responsibilities and willingness to step into the new role in light of the leadership transition. The Amended Radhakrishna Offer Letter further provided for a one-time special cash bonus in the amount of $250,000 to Mr. Radhakrishna, which was paid immediately. Mr. Radhakrishna’s eligibility for severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment continues to be governed by the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, under which he has been designated as a Tier 1 participant. Mr. Radhakrishna ceased serving as an executive officer in December 2025 and continues as a non-executive employee.
Post-Employment Compensation
Post-Employment Compensation Severance Plan We maintain an Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), effective as of December 22, 2022, and amended on February 26, 2024, under which our executive officers are eligible to receive severance payments and benefits in connection with certain qualifying terminations of their employment, subject to the conditions set forth in the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan is intended to provide a consistent framework to address covered terminations and help maintain our executive officers’ continued focus on their assigned duties to maximize stockholder value if there is a potential change in control transaction. Each of Ms. Schwartz, Mr. Matheson, Ms. LeGrice and Mr. Radhakrishna is eligible to participate in the Severance Plan. While Ms. Wheeler and Ms. Schaub were eligible to participate in the Severance Plan, they did not receive any severance benefits under the Severance Plan in connection with their resignations during 2025. Mr. Freiha was a participant in the Severance Plan and received certain severance benefits in connection with his departure from the Company. A description of the advisory and separation arrangements with each of Ms. Wheeler and Mr. Freiha is set forth below. The Severance Plan provides that upon our termination of a participant’s employment without “cause,” or upon a resignation by the participant for “good reason,” in either case within the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months following a “change in control” (each as defined in the Severance Plan), the participant shall receive (i) a cash severance payment equal to the participant’s then-current base salary multiplied by 1.5 for our CEO or 1.0 for our other NEOs, paid in installments over an 18- or 12-month period, respectively, (ii) a pro rata portion of the participant’s target annual cash bonus for the year of termination, paid in installments over 18 months for our CEO or 12 months for our other NEOs, (iii) payment or reimbursement of the cost of COBRA premiums for the participant and the participant’s dependents for up to 18 months for our CEO or 12 months for our other NEOs, and (iv) 100% acceleration of the vesting of the participant’s then-outstanding unvested equity awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting requirements. Upon any other termination by us without cause or upon a resignation by an eligible participant for good reason, the participant will receive (i) a cash severance payment equal to the sum of the participant’s then-current base salary plus target bonus, in the case of our CEO, and a cash severance payment equal to the participant’s then-current base salary multiplied by 0.5, in the case of our other NEOs, paid in installments over 12 months for our CEO and six months for our other NEOs, (ii) payment or reimbursement of the cost of the COBRA premiums for the participant and the participant’s dependents for up to 12 months, and (iii) acceleration of the vesting of the portion of the participant’s then-outstanding unvested equity awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting requirements and that would otherwise vest within the 12- or six-month period after termination for our CEO or our other NEOs, respectively (or, 12 months if any NEO other than our CEO has been employed for less than 12 months). For purposes of the Severance Plan, “cause” has the meaning set forth in the participant’s offer letter agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement with the participant’s employer, or, in the absence of such agreement, or if such agreement does not have a definition of “cause,” means: (a) the participant’s commission of any act that constitutes a felony or any crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, (b) the participant’s engaging in any act of fraud or embezzlement, whether or not related to the business of the Company, or any other act of material dishonesty against the Company or any of its Affiliates, (c) any material breach by the participant of any offer letter agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement with the participant’s employer, or of the Employee Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement or similar agreement or of any material written policy of the Company and, if curable, the participant’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof; (d) the willful and continued failure by the participant to substantially perform the participant’s duties to the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company that identifies with reasonable specificity the manner in which the Company believes the participant has not substantially performed the participant’s duties, which is not cured within 30 days after
Post-Employment Compensation
notice of such failure has been given to the participant by the Company; (e) the willful engaging by the participant in misconduct or gross neglect (including any conduct that is in violation of the written employee workplace policies of the Company) that is injurious to the Company, monetarily, in reputation or otherwise; or (f) any other intentional act causing material damage to the Company’s business, property or reputation. For purposes of the Severance Plan, “good reason” has the meaning set forth in the participant’s offer letter agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement with the participant’s employer, or, in the absence of such agreement, or if such agreement does not have a definition of “good reason,” means the occurrence of any of the following events without the participant’s written consent: (a) a reduction by the Company or its successor of more than 20% in the participant’s rate of annual base salary, unless such reduction is in connection with and proportional to reductions to the base salary reductions of other executives of the Company; (b) a material reduction in the participant’s job responsibilities, duties or authority (provided that a mere change in title to an employment position that is substantially similar to the prior employment position shall not constitute a material reduction in job responsibilities, duty or authority); or (c) a change in the geographic location of the Participant’s principal place of employment to any location more than 50 miles from the Participant’s current principal place of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “good reason” will not exist for purposes of the Severance Plan unless, within 30 days after the initial occurrence of a circumstance that the participant believes in good faith to constitute good reason, the Participant delivers written notice to the Company setting forth with specificity such circumstance the Participant believes in good faith constitutes good reason, the Company fails to cure any claimed event of good reason (if capable of cure) within 30 days after receipt of such notice, and the participant actually terminates their employment no later than 30 days following the expiration of the Company’s cure period. To receive the severance, the participant must execute and deliver a release of claims in favor of the Company and continue to comply with restrictive covenants applicable to the participant. We are not obligated to provide tax reimbursements or “gross-ups” to any of our executive officers, including our NEOs, in the event that the compensation and benefits received under the Severance Plan or otherwise would result in the imposition of excise taxes on the named executive officer under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. We believe that having in place reasonable and competitive post-employment compensation arrangements, including in the event of a change in control of the Company, is essential to attracting and retaining highly-qualified executive officers. The Compensation Committee does not consider the specific amounts payable under the post-employment compensation arrangements when determining our NEOs’ compensation. We do believe, however, that these arrangements are necessary to offer competitive compensation packages. Advisory Agreement with Carrie Wheeler In connection with Ms. Wheeler’s resignation as our Chief Executive Officer, we entered into an Advisory Agreement with Ms. Wheeler on August 15, 2025 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Ms. Wheeler agreed to provide advisory services to the Board in order to ensure an orderly transition of the Chief Executive Officer role, beginning on August 15, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the “Advisory Term”). During the Advisory Term, Ms. Wheeler was entitled to receive cash compensation of $62,500 per month upon completion of each month of services, and reimbursement of COBRA premiums. In addition, Ms. Wheeler’s outstanding TRSUs continued to vest during the Advisory Term. Ms. Wheeler’s advisory services ended on December 31, 2025. Separation Agreement with Selim Freiha Mr. Freiha departed the Company on September 19, 2025. In connection with Mr. Freiha’s departure from the Company, we entered into a separation and release agreement with Mr. Freiha, pursuant to which he received the benefits under the Severance Plan upon a termination without “cause” not in connection with a “change in control,” described below under the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Equity Grant Policies and Practices
Equity Grant Policies and Practices In response to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K, we do not currently grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments. Accordingly, we have no specific policy or practice on the timing of awards of such options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by us. In the event that we determine to grant new awards of such options, the Board will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
including our NEOs, in a manner that is in the best interest of our stockholders and reserves the right to make compensation decisions that may not be deductible under Section 162(m) where the Compensation Committee determines the compensation to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Compensation Committee takes accounting considerations into account in designing compensation plans and arrangements for our executive officers and other employees. Chief among these is the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of certain stock-based compensation. Among other things, ASC Topic 718 requires us to record a compensation expense in our income statement for all equity awards granted to our executive officers and other employees. This compensation expense is based on the grant date “fair value” of the equity award and, in most cases, will be recognized on a straight-line basis for TRSUs and using an accelerated attribution approach for PRSUs over the award’s requisite service period (which, generally, will correspond to the award’s vesting schedule). This compensation expense is also reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their equity awards.

Summary Compensation Table
| (2) Amounts listed represent the aggregate grant date fair value of TRSU and PRSU awards granted during the fiscal year referenced, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The grant date fair value of TRSU awards is calculated using the closing price per share of our Common Stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of TRSUs. The grant date fair value of PRSU awards other than market condition PRSU awards is calculated using the closing price per share of our Common Stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of PRSUs, as adjusted by the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objectives at the time of grant. With respect to the PRSUs granted in 2025 that are not tied to a market condition, the PRSUs vest based on the achievement of performance objectives for 2025 and the probability of achievement was assumed to be 100%, which represents the maximum level of performance under the PRSUs granted in 2025. With respect to the PRSUs granted in 2024, the probability of achievement was assumed to be 100%, which also represents the maximum level of performance under the PRSUs granted in 2024. The 2024 PRSUs vest based on the achievement of performance objectives for 2024. These amounts do not reflect the actual economic value that may be realized by the NEO. |
Summary Compensation Table
The grant date fair value of the market condition PRSU awards granted in 2025 is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, based on the assumptions set forth in Note 12, Share-Based Awards to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. Among the other assumptions set forth in Note 12, Share-Based Awards, such Monte Carlo simulation model assumed volatility of our Common stock of approximately 110% for purposes of the valuation of the market condition PRSUs based on the historical closing trading price of our Common Stock. For additional information regarding the stock-based awards granted to our NEOs, please see Note 12, Share-Based Awards to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report.

2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
| (1) Amounts in this column represent threshold, target and maximum annual cash bonus opportunities for the NEOs in 2025 under our annual performance bonus plan, which is described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Elements — Annual Cash Performance Bonuses.” The 2025 annual bonuses were based on the achievement of an ANI performance goal. Because the threshold performance goal for ANI was not attained under the 2025 annual bonus program, the bonus eligible NEOs received no payout under the 2025 annual bonus plan. Ms. Wheeler, Mr. Freiha and Ms. Schaub were not employed by the Company at the time the cash bonus amounts were determined and accordingly were ineligible to receive a 2025 annual bonus payment. Mr. Nejatian, Mr. Matheson and Ms. LeGrice were not eligible to participate in our performance bonus program for fiscal year 2025. |

achievement of the applicable performance objectives at the time of grant. With respect to the PRSUs granted in 2025, the probability of achievement was assumed to be 100%, which represents the maximum level of performance under the PRSUs granted in 2025.

The grant date fair value of the market condition PRSU awards granted in 2025 is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, based on the assumptions set forth in Note 12, Share-Based Awards to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. For additional information regarding the stock-based awards granted to our NEOs, please see Note 12, Share-Based Awards to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report.

Non-Employee Director Compensation
Prior to the start of each fiscal year, a non-employee director may elect to receive 100% of their annual cash compensation for the next fiscal year as TRSUs under the 2020 Plan (or any successor equity plan) for that number of shares equal to (a) the projected annual cash compensation for such non-employee director for the fiscal year based on Board and committee membership as of the first day of such fiscal year divided by (b) the average closing price per share of our Common Stock over the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day of the month preceding the month in which the TRSU grant is made (the “Share Price”). Each such grant will be granted on February 15 of the applicable fiscal year and will vest in four equal installments on the last trading day in each quarter occurring during such fiscal year. For 2025, Mr. Bain, Ms. Hamilton, Ms. Herman, Mr. Keffer, and Mr. Solomon each elected to receive their cash compensation in the form of TRSUs, which were granted on February 14, 2025. Equity Compensation On June 13, 2025, the date of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the non-employee directors serving at that time received their annual TRSU grant (the “Annual Grant”) for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $200,000 divided by the Annual Grant Share Price, rounded to the nearest whole share. Each such annual grant will vest in a single installment on the earlier to occur of (a) our next annual meeting of stockholders and (b) the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the non-employee director continues to be a non-employee director on such vesting date. On February 26, 2025, the Board amended the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy to provide that the share price with respect to Annual Grants will be the greater of (a) the average closing price per share of our Common Stock over the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day of the month preceding the month in which the Annual Grant is made and (b) $2.00 per share (the “Annual Grant Share Price”). As a result, on the date of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-employee director received 100,000 TRSUs. For each non-employee director in office as of immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2020 Plan), their then-outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy will become fully vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control.

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee, using the required calculations. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. For 2025:
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | The annual total compensation of our median employee was $97,758.86; and |
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | The annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement, was $741,137,105. |
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | The ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Nejatian to our median employee was 7,581:1. |
CEO Pay Ratio
For purposes of this pay ratio, both the CEO’s and the median employee’s annual total compensation were calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table. For fiscal year 2025, we used the same median employee that was identified in 2023 given there was no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change in the pay ratio disclosure. For fiscal year 2023, we determined our median employee by looking at our employee population as of December 31, 2023 and used a consistently applied compensation measure (“CACM”) to all of the employees included in the calculations. Our CACM consisted of total compensation calculated in accordance with Item 402(c) of Regulation S-K (as obtained from our internal payroll systems). This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules.
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | As of December 31, 2023, our U.S. and non-U.S. employee population consisted of approximately 1,986 full-time and part-time employees. Employees in Canada and India were included in the calculation, and accounted for 30 and 241 employees, respectively, with 1,715 employees in the U.S. |
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | Total compensation (base salary, bonuses, plus equity incentive compensation) was selected as the most appropriate and CACM to determine the median employee. |
CEO Pay Ratio
| • | For non-U.S. employees, we used exchange rates as of December 11, 2023 of 0.012 INR and 0.734 CAD to the U.S. dollar. |
CEO Pay Ratio
We determined the median employee’s compensation for 2025 using the same methodology used for determining the total compensation of our NEOs for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table disclosed above. The median employee’s annual total compensation was determined to be $97,759 in 2025. During 2025, Mr. Nejatian served as our CEO during the period from September 10, 2025 through December 31, 2025. In a CEO transition year, the SEC rules provide two options in calculating the CEO pay ratio: combining the two CEOs’ compensation as shown in the Summary Compensation Table or using the individual serving as CEO on the date we selected to identify the median employee and annualize the compensation. As permitted by SEC rules, we selected Mr. Nejatian as our CEO since he was CEO on December 31, 2025 (which is analogous to our determination date of December 31, 2023). For purposes of determining our pay ratio, we determined Mr. Nejatian’s annual total compensation for 2025 was $741,137,105, which, as required by SEC rules, includes his annualized base salary for 2025. Mr. Nejatian’s other compensation for 2025 consisted of equity awards and reimbursement for attorney’s fees in connection with the negotiation of his offer letter, and such amounts were not annualized. The $741,137,105 figure does not represent compensation that Mr. Nejatian actually received or realized in 2025. The figure reflects the grant date fair value of equity awards granted to Mr. Nejatian in connection with his appointment as CEO, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Over 97% of these equity awards consist of PRSUs that will vest only upon the achievement of rigorous stock price hurdles over multi-year performance periods—meaning the value Mr. Nejatian will actually realize, if any, is entirely contingent on sustained, long-term improvement in Opendoor's stock price. This pay ratio disclosure is a reasonable estimate. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio permit companies to use various methodologies and assumptions, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable with the pay ratio that we have reported.

Pay Versus Performance
Pay Versus Performance As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (the “PvP Rules”), we are providing: (1) tabular compensation and performance disclosure for our fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and (2) additional disclosure relative to the relationship between the “Compensation Actually Paid” (“CAP”) set forth in the Pay versus Performance Table and the Company’s and the Peer Group Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”), in each case over our fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy and in our proxy statements filed in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. In the below pay versus performance table, we provide information about compensation of our NEOs for each of the last five fiscal years (the “Covered Years”). Additionally, we provide information about the results for certain financial performance measures during the Covered Years. Although the PvP Rules require us to disclose “compensation actually paid,” these amounts do not necessarily reflect compensation that our NEOs actually earned in the Covered Years. Instead, “compensation actually paid” reflects a calculation computed in accordance with the PvP Rules, including adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the Covered Years based on either year-end or vesting date stock prices and various accounting valuation assumptions. “Compensation actually paid” generally fluctuates due to stock price performance.

The fair value as of the last day of each fiscal year or the applicable vesting date is determined (a) for stock options, based on the Black-Scholes value as of the applicable date, (b) for TRSUs, based on the stock price as of the applicable date, (c) for PRSUs that are not tied to market conditions, based on the stock price as of the applicable date, as adjusted by the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objectives at the time of grant, and (d) for PRSUs that are tied to market conditions, a Monte Carlo simulation model, based on the assumptions set forth in Note 12, Share-Based Awards to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report as of the applicable date. Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the comparison assumes $100 was invested in our Common Stock on December 31, 2020, which was the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year in the table, using the closing stock price on that date. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. |

Relationship Between Pay and Performance “Compensation actually paid,” as calculated per SEC Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, reflects cash compensation actually paid as well as changes to the fair values of equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end or vesting date stock prices, and various accounting valuation assumptions. Due to how CAP is calculated, the CAP as reported for each year does not reflect the actual amounts earned by our NEOs from their equity awards. CAP generally fluctuates annually due to the change in our stock price from year to year as well as varying levels of actual achievement of performance goals. Because CAP does not reflect the actual amount earned by our NEOs on their equity compensation, we do not use this measure for understanding how NEO pay aligns with our Company performance. For a discussion of how our Compensation Committee assessed “pay-for-performance” and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives as well as stockholder value creation each year, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement and our proxy statements filed in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Below are graphs showing the relationship of “Compensation Actually Paid” to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs for our fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 to (1) TSR of both our Common Stock and the Nasdaq Real Estate and Other Financial Services Index (assuming $100 was invested in our Common Stock on December 31, 2020, (2) our net income (loss), and (3) our ANI.
