Executive Summary
Hour Loop revised the 2026 bonus targets for CEO Sam Lai and SVP Sau Kuen Yu (together controlling ~94.8% of voting power), introducing a guaranteed $100,000 bonus each plus performance-based bonuses tied to net profit thresholds of $1M (50% of base salary) or $2M (100% of base salary). This is a routine compensatory arrangement for controlling shareholders with no departure, no material financial disclosure, and no immediate stock price catalyst.
Key Facts
- Addendum No. 7 to employment agreements for CEO Sam Lai and SVP Sau Kuen Yu executed May 15, 2026.
- Each executive receives a guaranteed $100,000 bonus on December 22, 2026, regardless of performance.
- Performance bonus: 50% of base salary if net profits (ex-tax, ex-executive bonuses) hit $1M; 100% if $2M; only one payout tier applies.
- Lai and Yu together beneficially own 33,360,142 shares, representing ~94.8% of voting power.

Financial Impact
Guaranteed bonuses total $200,000 for 2026; performance bonuses each up to 100% of base salary but contingent on net profit targets. Base salaries not disclosed in filing.
Risk Factors
- Guaranteed bonuses add fixed cost regardless of profitability — $200,000 total at $72M market cap is not material.
- Performance targets ($1M-$2M net profit) imply management expects meaningful improvement versus prior periods, but no historical baseline is provided in this filing.
