Restricted Stock Units - Performance Based
On July 3, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the target award level for the first performance cycle (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance-based RSUs, establishing the accounting grant date for the first tranche of that award. The units earned at the Compensation Committee’s certified maximum performance level (200% of target), totaling units, vested upon the Board’s approval and were measured at a grant-date fair value of $ per unit for an aggregate grant-date fair value of $. Because the grant date and vesting occurred after June 30, 2026, these units were not included in the restricted stock units released, or in the related net share settlement, presented in Note 8 as of June 30, 2026.
SHARPLINK, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 AND 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands, except share, per share data, and crypto asset tokens)

The Chief Executive Officer’s second-quarter 2026 compensation cost for this tranche was measured at the June 30, 2026 reporting-date fair value of $ per unit.

Grants of Restricted Stock Units
In July 2026, the Company granted ten RSUs awards to its executive officers under its equity incentive plan, consisting of five time-based awards covering an aggregate of approximately shares and five performance-based awards covering an aggregate of approximately shares. The time-based awards vest over their respective requisite three-year service periods. The performance-based awards vest over three annual performance periods, with the first performance period ending on June 30, 2027, subject to the Company’s evaluation of the applicable performance metrics as of that date. Because those performance metrics are subjective and will not be established until that evaluation is completed, a mutual understanding of the awards’ key terms and conditions does not yet exist and, accordingly, a grant date has not been established for the performance-based awards under ASC 718.
