The departure of a senior officer and the accelerated RSU vesting are routine for a separation. However, the proximity to a contested proxy vote (DEFA14A on April 29) signals potential governance friction. Monitor the annual meeting outcome on June 10, 2026, for further board or strategic changes.

Executive Summary
Planet 13 Holdings Inc. filed an 8-K disclosing a separation agreement with former Chief Administrative Officer Lee Fraser, who was terminated on March 6, 2026. The agreement provides $275,000 in cash severance, continued COBRA and vehicle allowance through February 2027, and accelerated vesting of certain RSUs. This filing follows a contested proxy solicitation (DEFA14A filed April 29, 2026) for the upcoming annual meeting, suggesting board-level tensions.

Financial Impact
Cash severance of $275,000 plus COBRA and vehicle allowance through Feb 2027; immediate vesting of ~333,000 RSUs.
Risk Factors
- Potential for additional C-suite departures if board-level disputes persist.
- Dilution from accelerated RSU vesting (~333,000 shares) is small relative to total shares outstanding.
- No non-compete for the former CAO could allow a competitor to hire him.
