Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
A significant portion of the equity grants (60,000 shares for the CEO and 30,000 shares for the CFO) is contingent upon the Board of Directors determining that the acquisition of Func Food Group Oyj has been successfully integrated. This introduces a performance-based risk to the realization of these specific compensation awards.
