What the filing says
Paul Kearney, Chief Data Officer, was terminated effective July 1, 2026 (after ~3.5 months employment starting March 13, 2026). Severance: $333,616.50 (9 months base salary), 37.5% acceleration of pre-Jan 2026 unvested equity, and 9 months COBRA coverage. Concurrent consulting agreement: $15,000/month (~60 hours/month) through July 1, 2026 onward with auto-renewal; equity continues vesting. Separation included broad release of claims and restrictive covenants (confidentiality, non-compete, IP assignment).
Why this rating
Early executive departure and severance (~$430K total cost including consulting) is ~0.5% of $82.9M market cap. Modest negative signal—rapid CDO turnover suggests internal friction or strategy shift—but immaterial financially relative to company size.
