2024 Equity Incentive Plan

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 30, 2025, our stockholders approved our amended and restated 2024 Equity Incentive Plan to automatically increase the  then available share pool each January 1 commencing in 2026 through 2034 by an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the prior December 31, each year.  The name of the 2024 Plan has been updated to the Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable governing law has been updated to the laws of the State of Florida.

The aggregate fair value of awards that vested in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $19,560.6 and $25,359.9, respectively, which represents the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested. The number of RSUs vested includes shares of common stock that we withheld from employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

As of June 30, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity grants was $66,265.0 with an expected remaining weighted-average recognition period of approximately 1.78 years.
