Executive Summary
Rapid7 announced the grant of inducement equity awards to former Kenzo Security employees and contractors following its acquisition of the company on March 26, 2026. The awards include 467,945 restricted stock units (RSUs) and up to 525,769 performance-based stock units (PSUs) for Kenzo's founders, tied to Year-over-Year growth in Managed MDR & SIEM Annualized Recurring Revenue. The move signals a talent retention strategy post-acquisition but introduces potential future dilution.
