The new CEO's compensation is entirely equity-based with aggressive stock price hurdles ($10-$20) creates a strong alignment with shareholders but also creates significant dilution risk. Monitor the next quarterly report for any guidance revision or strategic pivot commentary; the stock price trajectory relative to the $10 hurdle will be a key catalyst.
