Item 11. Executive Compensation
This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for our “named executive officers.” As a smaller reporting company, the SEC defines our named executive officers as (i) any individual serving as our Chief Executive Officer during the fiscal year; (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, who were serving as such as of December 31, 2025; and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to (ii) but for the fact they were not serving as an executive officer at the end of the year.
Overview
This section provides a discussion of the compensation paid or awarded to our President and Chief Executive Officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2025. We refer to these individuals as our “named executive officers.” As a “smaller reporting company” and pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company is providing compensation information for the following individuals as our named executive officers:
* Morgan Kurk, President and Chief Executive Officer and Director
* Vibhu Vivek, Senior Vice President, Product
* Sally Rau, Chief Legal and HR Officer
* John Waldron, former Acting Chief Financial Officer (1)
(1)Mr. Waldron served as Vice President, Finance and Accounting from May 1, 2025, until appointed as our Acting Chief Financial Officer from August 26, 2025 to December 18, 2025, and following the appointment of Mitchell Cohen as interim Chief Financial Officer on December 18, 2025, Mr. Waldron continues to serve as our Vice President, Finance and Accounting.
Our current executive compensation program is intended to align executive compensation with our business objectives and with the interests of our shareholders, and to enable us to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to our long-term success. The compensation paid or awarded to our named executive officers is generally based on the assessment of each individual’s performance compared against the business objectives established for the fiscal year as well as our historical compensation practices, the overall financial success of the Company, and our ability to meet shareholder objectives. We provide each of our named executive officers, other than John Waldron, with an annual base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentives. John Waldron, hired as a consultant to the Company through a third party consulting firm, is paid an hourly rate and does not participate in any incentive compensation programs or other benefits offered by the Company.
The details of our 2025 executive compensation program are discussed below.
Role of the Compensation Committee and Management
Pursuant to its charter, the compensation committee is responsible for reviewing, evaluating, and approving the compensation arrangements of our executive officers and for establishing and maintaining our executive compensation policies and practices. Our compensation committee seeks input and receives recommendations from members of our executive management team when discussing the performance and compensation of other executive officers, and in assessing the financial and accounting implications of our compensation program and hiring decisions. Although the compensation committee is authorized to engage its own independent advisors to provide advice on matters related to executive compensation and general compensation programs, no compensation consultants were engaged with respect to our 2025 compensation program. For additional information on the compensation committee, see “Committees of the Board of Directors — Compensation Committee” elsewhere in this annual report.
During 2025, our compensation committee reviewed and determined our executive compensation, including base salaries, bonuses, and equity awards, as applicable, to further align our compensation program with shareholder interests and our long-term business and operational goals, with the goal of providing appropriate compensation and incentives for our executive officers in light of the Company's financial situation. The compensation committee reviewed the performance of our executive officers, taking into consideration financial, operational, customer, strategic, product, and competitive factors.
The role of management is to preliminarily design our executive compensation program, policies, and governance, and to make recommendations to the compensation committee regarding these matters, with the ultimate approval of the compensation program made by the compensation committee. Management reviews the effectiveness of our compensation program, including competitiveness and alignment with our objectives. Management also recommends changes to our compensation program to help promote achievement of program objectives and reviews and makes recommendations with respect to the adoption and approval of, or amendments to, company-wide incentive compensation plans. Except with respect to their individual compensation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal and HR Officer made compensation recommendations to the compensation committee with respect to base salaries, bonuses, and equity awards for our executive officers, including our named executive officers, which were taken into account by the compensation committee in making its decisions regarding executive compensation.
Base salary
Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of our executive compensation program. The relative levels of base salary for our named executive officers are designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability with us. In 2025, we did not increase base salaries for our executive officers given our financial position, and accordingly annual base salaries for Mr. Kurk, Mr. Vivek, and Ms. Rau remained at prior year levels, of $500,000, $413,700, and $337,080 respectively. We paid a third party consulting firm for Mr. Waldron's services, resulting in total compensation of $540,400 paid to the consulting firm during 2025 for Mr. Waldron's services. Please see the “Salary” column in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table for the base salary amounts paid with respect to each named executive officer's service in 2025.
Annual incentive compensation
We provide members of our senior leadership team with an opportunity to earn annual cash incentive compensation, either through our annual incentive program or through a commissions-based program for members of our sales team. Mr. Waldron, as a consultant, did not participate in our annual incentive program.
Annual incentive compensation holds executives accountable, rewards the executives based on actual business results and helps create a “pay for performance” culture. Our annual incentive program provides variable compensation based on the achievement of performance goals established by the compensation committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. Under the 2025 annual incentive compensation program applicable to our named executive officers, variable compensation was payable based on the achievement of certain corporate financial performance measures relating to (i) revenues and (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as reported by the Company in its year-end financial results. The weighting of targets was set at 60% on achievement of the revenue target and 40% on achievement of the EBITDA target.
For 2025 the variable compensation opportunities for Mr. Kurk, Mr. Vivek and Ms. Rau were 100%, 40% and 40% of their respective base salaries, respectively. Mr. Waldron did not participate in our variable compensation programs. Following the end of 2025, the compensation committee reviewed our achievements against the revenue and EBITDA financial performance measures and determined that we did not meet target levels of achievement. As a result, none of the named executive officers received an annual cash incentive payment for 2025.
Equity Compensation
To further align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders and to further focus our executive officers on our long-term performance, we generally include equity compensation as a key component of our executive compensation program, however, during 2025, we did not grant equity awards to any of our named executive officers.
Please see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2025 Fiscal Year-End” table for information regarding outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2025.
Compensation and Equity Award Policies
Clawback Policy
In 2023, we adopted a clawback policy in accordance with the SEC and Nasdaq requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This policy provides for the non-discretionary recovery of excess incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement, whether or not the executive officer was at fault for the restatement, in accordance with the SEC and Nasdaq requirements.
Insider Trading Policy
We have an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities that applies to the Company and its personnel, including officers, directors, all other employees, and other covered persons (the “Insider Trading Policy”).
The Insider Trading Policy prohibits our officers, directors and all other employees from trading in our securities or in the securities of another company while in possession of material non-public information. The Insider Trading Policy also prohibits disclosing material nonpublic information about us or another company, to others who may trade on the basis of that information, and provides information about our quarterly restricted trading periods.
Hedging or Pledging Policies
Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors and advisors engaging in transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to the Company’s securities. This prohibition extends to any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding Company securities.
These policies were established in part because transactions in derivative securities may reflect a short-term and speculative interest in the Company’s securities and may create the appearance of impropriety, even where a transaction does not involve trading on inside information. Trading in derivatives may also focus attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company’s long-term objectives. In addition, the application of securities laws to derivatives transactions can be complex, and persons engaging in derivatives transactions run an increased risk of violating securities laws.
In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our employees from pledging the Company’s securities as collateral for loans. Short sales with respect to the Company’s securities are prohibited under our Insider Trading Policy.

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Existing executive employment arrangements
We are a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Kurk that provides for certain severance and vesting benefits if he is involuntarily terminated, which benefits may vary if the involuntary termination was under certain circumstances in connection with or during the 12-month period following a change in control.
Mr. Kurk’s employment agreement provides for an initial employment term of two years, with such term to be automatically extended for successive one-year periods on each anniversary of his start date, unless either party provides at least 90 days’ advance written notice of non-renewal to the other party.
Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Kurk will be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits in connection with a qualifying termination of his employment: the initial share options and RSUs awarded to him in 2023 will each fully vest in the event a change in control (as such term is defined in the 2019 Share Incentive Plan) occurs and within two years following such change in control, Mr. Kurk is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Mr. Kurk resigns for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement); and (ii) in the event that Mr. Kurk’s employment is terminated by us without cause or Mr. Kurk resigns for good reason prior to the second anniversary of the date of his commencement of employment with us, then the portions of the initial share options and RSUs that were scheduled to vest on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of such termination of employment will vest as of the date of such termination.
In the event that Mr. Kurk’s employment is terminated by us without cause (including due to non-extension of the term of his employment by us) or he resigns for good reason, then, in addition to the equity vesting described above, he will be entitled to any earned but unpaid annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ending on or before the termination date (the “Prior Year Bonus”) and, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of us and his continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, Mr. Kurk will also be entitled to receive (i) twelve (12) months of base salary continuation, (ii) reimbursement of the cost of continued coverage under our group medical, hospitalization, and dental plans at active employee rates for up to twelve (12) months, and (iii) a pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, based on actual results and to be paid at the same time bonuses for such year are paid to other senior executives of the Company. In the event that Mr. Kurk’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, he will be entitled to receive the Prior Year Bonus.
The Company has entered into a severance agreement with each of Mr. Vivek and Ms. Rau that provides that in the event a qualified termination event occurs, subject to his or her execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, the Company will: (i) pay the executive an amount equal to his or her monthly base salary rate, paid monthly for a period of six months; (ii) during such six-month period, if the executive is eligible to elect and elects to continue coverage under the Company’s group medical, hospitalization, and dental plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), reimburse the executive on a monthly basis for the difference between the amount the executive pays to effect and continue such coverage under COBRA and the employee contribution amount that active employees of the Company pay for the same or similar coverage; and (iii) pay the executive a pro-rata portion of his performance cash award under the Company’s annual incentive plan for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs based on results through the date of termination.
Any unvested share options or RSUs held by our named executive officers will vest in full upon a change in control in which the awards are not effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation, provided that, for performance-based awards, if the performance period is completed prior to the change in control, then the award will only vest to the extent the underlying performance goal was achieved.
No Timing of Equity Awards In Relation to Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information
During 2025, we did not make any awards of share options or RSUs to any of our executive officers or other employees. Generally, we make equity awards to certain employees, including our executive officers hired during the year, as part of their new hire compensation. We also generally make a refresh equity award to certain employees, including all of our executive officers, in a single annual refresh award, typically made during the first or second quarter of the year. Share options and other equity awards are approved by our compensation committee typically during scheduled meetings, and our compensation committee has not delegated authority to any executive officer or subcommittee to approve equity awards. We do not take material non-public information into account in determining the timing and terms of share options, although awards are typically made following the release of quarterly financial results. We do not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
Compensation Risk Assessment
We conducted an assessment of the risks associated with our compensation practices and policies and determined that the risks arising from such policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. In conducting the assessment, we undertook a review of our compensation philosophies, our compensation governance structure and the design and oversight of our compensation program. Overall, we believe that our programs include an appropriate mix of fixed and variable features, and short- and long-term incentives with compensation-based goals aligning with corporate goals.
401(k) Plan and Other Retirement Plans
We maintain a tax-qualified 401(k) retirement plan all U.S. employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements, including requirements relating to age and length of service. Under our 401(k) plan, employees may elect to defer up to all eligible compensation, subject to applicable annual Internal Revenue Code limits. We match up to 4% of contributions made by our employees, including executives, with the match becoming fully vested after two years of service.
Director Compensation
Generally, our directors who are not also our officers or employees are eligible to receive cash compensation for their service on our board of directors. In addition, all directors have received equity awards with respect to our ordinary shares.
During 2025, our non-employee members of our board of directors other than Mr. Bhatnagar were entitled to a board compensation program payable to non-employee members of the board approved in 2023, consisting of an annual cash compensation for members of the board as set forth below. This program provides the following cash compensation:
| Annual Cash Compensation Elements | Amount |
|---|---|
| Board Retainer | $50,000 |
| Audit Committee Retainer (Chair) | $25,000 |
| Audit Committee Retainer (Other Members) | $10,000 |
| Compensation Committee Retainer (Chair) | $15,000 |
All non-employee members of the board, including any member affiliated with Vector Capital, are entitled to board fees other than Mr. Atul Bhatnagar, our former President and Chief Executive Officer. Given the financial position of the Company, all members of the board of directors agreed to forego payment of board fees during 2024, and accordingly no board fees were paid during 2024. During 2025, we paid fees to Mr. Felt, Mr. Verma and Mr. Lynch with respect to 2024 service and such directors received their 2025 board fees on a quarterly basis in accordance with our past practices. We have not paid board fees for 2025 or 2024 for Mr. Slusky or Mr. Amen.
Please see the “2025 Summary Compensation Table” for a summary of the compensation received by Mr. Kurk with respect to his service during 2025. No equity awards were made to any member of the board of directors during 2025.
In addition to the above, we reimburse our directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to attend board and committee meetings.
