This filing is a routine compensation update with no immediate trading catalyst. Monitor next quarterly earnings for net income trends that would drive bonus payouts under the new formula. The increased caps signal management confidence in earnings growth, but no hard guidance was provided.

Executive Summary
REX American Resources entered into new employment agreements with its three top executives (Executive Chairman Stuart Rose, CEO Zafar Rizvi, and CFO Douglas Bruggeman), effective February 1, 2026. The agreements increase annual bonus caps significantly—Rizvi's cap rises from $5M to $12M, while Rose and Bruggeman see caps increase from $2.5M to $4M each—and tie bonuses to a formula based on net income. This is a routine compensation refresh following a market-based review by Pearl Meyer, with no departures or unexpected changes.
Key Facts
- New employment agreements for Stuart Rose (Executive Chairman), Zafar Rizvi (CEO), and Douglas Bruggeman (CFO) executed June 29, 2026, effective February 1, 2026.
- Rizvi's annual bonus cap increased from $5M to $12M; Rose and Bruggeman caps increased from $2.5M to $4M each.
- Base salaries unchanged: Rose $225K, Rizvi $275K, Bruggeman $300K.
- Bonuses formula-based: 133% of Net Income Attributable to REX Common Shareholders (after tax) plus add-back of incentive/stock compensation expense, multiplied by 2.5% (Rose), 4.5% (Rizvi), or 2.25% (Bruggeman).
- Bonuses paid 75% cash, 25% restricted stock vesting over three years.

- Agreements automatically renew for one-year periods unless 180-day termination notice given.

Financial Impact
No direct financial impact; potential increase in compensation expense if net income grows, but caps remain modest relative to $1.5B market cap.
Risk Factors
- Potential dilution from restricted stock awards (25% of bonus in stock) if bonuses are large.
- Bonus formula tied to net income may incentivize short-term earnings management.
- Loss recoupment provision could delay bonus payments if earnings decline.
