Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

 

We review compensation annually for all employees, including our Named Executive Officers. In setting annual base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our shareholders, and a long-term commitment to our Company.

 

Employment Agreements

 

We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our Named Executive Officers.

 

Annual Base Salary

 

Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers have generally been set at levels deemed necessary to attract and retain individuals with superior talent. The following table presents the annual base salaries for each of our Named Executive Officers for 2023, as determined by the non-employee members of the Board.

 

Name  2023 Base
Salary
 
Marco Fregenal  $500,000 
Samantha Giuggio  $275,000 
Joshua Harley  $500,000 

 

As noted in the previous table, in connection with the Company’s strategic cost cutting measures, Mr. Fregenal and Ms. Giuggio, in addition to certain other members of management, each volunteered for base salary reductions for certain time periods during 2023 and elected to receive the balance of their respective base salary in restricted stock awards.

 

Bonus Compensation

 

Our discretionary bonus plan motivates and rewards our Named Executive Officers for achievements relative to our goals and expectations for each fiscal year. Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses based on our compensation committee and Board’s assessment of their individual performance and our Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to elect to receive the value of their cash bonuses in restricted stock awards.

 

Equity-Based Awards

 

Our equity-based incentive awards are designed to align our interests with those of our employees and consultants, including our Named Executive Officers. Our compensation committee is generally responsible for approving equity grants. Vesting of equity awards is generally tied to continuous service with us and serves as an additional retention measure. Our executives generally are awarded an initial new hire grant upon commencement of employment. Additional grants may occur periodically in order to specifically incentivize executives.

Our Board adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 2019 Plan, which effectively replaced our 2017 Stock Plan as we do not intend to grant any more awards under the 2017 Stock Plan. The 2017 Plan became effective on May 11, 2017. The 2019 Plan became effective on August 9, 2019.

 

The purpose of our 2019 Plan is to attract and retain real estate agents, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Our 2019 Plan authorizes us to make grants to eligible recipients of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock-based awards.

 

Other Compensation

 

Our Named Executive Officers did not participate in, or otherwise receive any benefits under, any pension or deferred compensation plan sponsored by us during 2023 or 2022.
