In exchange for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive both a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and the Variable Annual Advisory Amount from the Company, each as described below:
•Fixed Annual Advisory Amount. Effective November 9, 2021 through December 31, 2027, the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock (1.5% of the 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number).
•Variable Annual Advisory Amount. Effective November 9, 2021 through December 31, 2031, and once the average price per share of Common Stock is at least $10.00, the Variable Annual Advisory Amount will be equal in value to:
•in the first year in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount is payable, (x) 18% of the increase in the market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock over $10.00 (such increase in market value, the “Payment Price”) multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number; and
•in the following years in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount may be payable (if at all), (x) 18% of the increase in Payment Price over the previous year Payment Price multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number.
The Founder Advisory Agreement can be terminated at any time (i) by the EverArc Founder Entity if the Company ceases to be traded on the NYSE; or (ii) by the EverArc Founder Entity or the Company if there is (A) a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Founder Advisory Agreement) or (B) a liquidation of the Company.
The Company calculates the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount using the average price of Common Stock and used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount. The Advisory Amounts may be settled by paying up to 50% in cash, recorded as a liability, with the remaining percentage settled in Common Stock. While the entire instrument is subject to the fair value calculation described above, the amount classified and recorded as equity remains consistent while the amount classified and recorded as a liability is updated each period. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an increase in the compensation expense related to the founders advisory fees payable - related party due to an increase in fair value for liability-classified Advisory Amounts of $435.2 million and $198.3 million, respectively, primarily due to increases in share price of the Company’s Common Stock.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount for the remaining term was calculated to be $131.3 million and $90.8 million, respectively, based on the period end volume weighted average closing share price for ten consecutive trading days of Common Stock of $27.89 and $12.85, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $750.1 million and $389.3 million, respectively.
For 2025, the average price was $27.89 per share of Common Stock. The EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock or a value of $65.7 million, based on an average price of $27.89 per share of Common Stock (the “2025 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity is also entitled to receive a Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2025 of 14,462,123 shares of Common Stock, or a value of $403.4 million (the “2025 Variable Amount” and together with the 2025 Fixed Amount, the “2025 Advisory Amounts”). The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 79.6% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in shares of Common Stock (13,387,002 Common Shares) and approximately 20.4% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in cash ($95.7 million). To satisfy the 2025 Advisory Amounts, the Company paid $95.7 million in cash on February 19, 2026 and expects to issue 13,387,002 shares of Common Stock in the first quarter of 2026.
For 2024, the average price was $12.85 per share of Common Stock. The EverArc Founder Entity was entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock or a value of $30.3 million, based on an average price of $12.85 per share of Common Stock (the “2024 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity did not qualify to receive the Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2024 as the average price of $12.85 per share of Common Stock for 2024 was lower than the average price of $13.63 per Common Share established in 2021. The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 78% of the 2024 Fixed Amount in Common Stock (1,837,304 Common Shares) and approximately 22% of the 2024 Fixed Amount in cash ($6.7 million). On February 18, 2025, the Company issued 1,837,304 Common Shares and paid $6.7 million in cash in satisfaction of the 2024 Fixed Amount.
Subject to certain limited exceptions, the EverArc Founder Entity’s liability for losses in connection with the services provided is excluded and the Company will have agreed to indemnify the EverArc Founder Entity and its affiliates in relation to certain liabilities incurred in connection with acts or omissions by or on behalf of the Company or the EverArc Founder Entity. If the Founder Advisory Agreement is terminated under (i) or (ii)(A), the Company will pay the EverArc Founder Entity an amount in cash equal to: (a) the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount for the year in which termination occurs and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement, in each case at the Payment Price; and (b) the Variable Annual Advisory Amount that would have been payable for the year of termination and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement. In each case the Payment Price in the year of termination will be calculated on the basis of the Payment Year ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of termination, save that in the event of a Sale of the Company, the Payment Price will be calculated on the basis of the amount paid by the relevant third party (or cash
equivalent if such amount is not paid in cash). For each remaining year of the term of the agreement the Payment Price in each case will increase by 15% each year. No account will be taken of any Payment Price in any year preceding the termination when calculating amounts due on termination. Payment will be immediately due and payable on the date of termination of the Founder Advisory Agreement.
Notwithstanding that the Fixed and Variable Advisory Amounts will be paid out over two years and six years, respectively, the Company has accrued the full amount of the payments because, the Company has incurred an obligation equal to the present value of the entire amount of both the Fixed and Variable Annual Advisory Amounts.
