What the filing says
On October 7, 2026, Tessera Defense (market cap ~$11.9M) formalized employment agreements with CEO Michael Oster and CFO David Rokach. Oster receives 1M RSUs (3-year vest), 400K fully vested shares, 1M options at $1.15/share, plus performance shares (max 500K annually for 2027–2028 if EBITDA per share exceeds $0.05–$0.10). Oster's base salary is NIS 55,000/month (~$15K/month); Rokach receives NIS 35,000/month (~$9.5K/month) plus 180K fully vested shares. Both are employed by Israeli subsidiary, serve as officers of the U.S. parent. Equity awards require stockholder approval at October 20, 2026 special meeting.
Why this rating
Large equity grants (2.58M+ shares to Oster) represent material dilution relative to tiny $11.9M market cap; CEO/CFO formalization and EBITDA-tied incentives signal strategic commitment; going-concern risks and approval contingencies temper magnitude.
