Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 3, 2026, the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of Exyn Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) ratified and adopted (with certain modifications)
recommendations previously made by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) regarding compensatory
arrangements for the Company’s non-employee directors and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as described below.
Non-Employee Director Compensation Program
On August 3, 2026, the Board approved and
adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (the “Director Compensation Program”), effective as of August 3,
2026. The Director Compensation Program applies to all non-employee members of the Board and provides for annual cash retainers, an equity-in-lieu-of-cash
election, committee service retainers, and annual and initial equity grants, in each case as summarized below. The Director Compensation
Program is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the following
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Director Compensation Program.
Under the Director Compensation Program, each non-employee
director receives an annual cash retainer of $40,000, with an additional $20,000 retainer payable to the Lead Independent Director; no
per-meeting fees are paid, and a director may elect to receive all or a portion of the cash retainer in the form of stock options or restricted
stock units in lieu of cash. Non-employee directors serving on Board committees also receive annual committee retainers ranging from $4,000
to $15,000, depending on the committee and whether the director serves as chair or member.
Each non-employee director also receives an annual
equity grant, issued upon election or re-election at each annual meeting of stockholders, equal to 0.075% of the Company’s market
capitalization (approximately 11,600 stock options based on the Company’s capitalization when the Director Compensation Program
was adopted), subject to a maximum grant date value of $200,000 per director per year, with an exercise price equal to fair market value
on the date of grant and cliff vesting on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the day before the next annual meeting
of stockholders. Each director newly elected or appointed to the Board after the Company’s initial public offering receives an initial
equity grant equal to two times the then-current annual equity grant (approximately 23,200 stock options), subject to a maximum grant
date value of $400,000, vesting ratably over three years from the grant date.
The aggregate value of cash and equity compensation
payable to any non-employee director in a calendar year under the Director Compensation Program may not exceed $750,000, or $1,000,000
in the calendar year of a director’s initial appointment to the Board.
In connection with the adoption of the Director
Compensation Program, the Board approved a grant of a stock option to purchase 23,200 shares of the Company’s common stock to each
of the Company’s four non-employee directors: Jon Ollwerther, Gregory McNeal, Ted Tewksbury, and Michael Burychka, under the Exyn
Technologies, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). Each option has an exercise price per share equal to
the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
CEO Compensation
Retroactive to the closing of the Company’s
initial public offering, the Board approved an increase in the annual base salary of Brandon Torres Declet, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer, to $482,000. In addition, the Board established Mr. Torres Declet’s target annual bonus at 75% of his base
salary (equal to $362,000 at the new salary level).
On August 3, 2026, the Board approved a grant
to Brandon Torres Declet, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of a stock option to purchase 109,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock under the 2026 Plan, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant. The option vests in equal monthly installments over four years, subject to a one-year cliff vesting period, and is
subject to Mr. Torres Declet’s continued service with the Company.
