Employment and Related Agreements

We executed the following employment agreements with our NEOs, the material terms of which are summarized below. The below summaries are not complete descriptions of all provisions of the employment agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the written employment agreements, each filed as an exhibit to this Comprehensive Form 10-K.

Joseph La Rosa

On April 29, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Joseph La Rosa to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, which was further amended on May 17, 2023, on December 7, 2023, on September 19, 2024 and on February 3, 2025 (as amended, the “Initial CEO Agreement”). On November 12, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. La Rosa, which replaced the Initial CEO Agreement and was amended effective as of March 15, 2026 (as amended, the “CEO Agreement”). Pursuant to the CEO Agreement, Mr. La Rosa is employed by the Company for an initial term starting November 12, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027, with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods thereafter unless prior to 45 days before the end of the initial term or the anniversary date, either party notifies the other that it will not extend the agreement for another year. The Company shall pay Mr. La Rosa an annual base salary of $200,000 during the term of the CEO Agreement, which may be reviewed by the Board at least annually and maybe increased but not decreased by the Board. During the term of his employment with the Company, Mr. La Rosa may be eligible to receive a bonus with respect to a calendar year in the amount and based on terms approved by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion and consistent with the uses of cash agreed to by the Company.

Mr. La Rosa is also entitled to receive fringe benefits and perquisites consistent with those provided to similarly situated executives of the Company, including a corporate car and cellular telephone, and to participate in all employee benefit plans. Mr. La Rosa shall be entitled to 40 days of annual paid vacation per calendar year and shall be reimbursed for his out-of-pocket business, entertainment, and travel expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under the CEO Agreements in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures, approved by the Board. Any amounts payable under the CEO Agreement are subject to any policy established by the Company providing for claw back or recovery of amounts that were paid to Mr. La Rosa. The Compensation Committee will make any determination for claw back or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with any applicable law or regulation.

Mr. La Rosa’s employment may be terminated by him or the Company at any time and for any or no reason with least 45 days advance written notice from the terminating party. If Mr. La Rosa’s employment is terminated by the Company for “cause” (as defined in the CEO Agreement), Mr. La Rosa will be entitled only to accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of termination. If Mr. La Rosa’s employment is terminated by his failure to renew his agreement, or by Mr. La Rosa without “good reason” (as defined in the CEO Agreement), then he will be entitled to receive: (i) a sum equal to 60 days’ of base salary (“Lump Sum Payment”), paid in a lump sum no later than one week after the end of the Release Execution and Recission Period (as defined in the CEO Agreement); (ii) any accrued but unpaid base salary and accrued but unused paid time off; (iii) reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred; and (iv) such equity compensation and employee benefits, if any, to which he may be entitled under the Company’s equity compensation and employee benefit plans as of the date of termination (items (ii) and (iv) are collectively referred to as the “Accrued Amounts”). If Mr. La Rosa’s employment is terminated due to non-renewal of his employment agreement by the Company or if he terminates his employment for good reason, or if the Company terminates his employment without cause, he will receive from the Company (i) the Accrued Amounts, (ii) the Lump Sum Payment, and (iii) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) payment, or reimbursement for 100% of the cost of medical, dental, and vision coverage for Mr. La Rosa and his dependents for up to 18 months after the termination of employment.

If Mr. La Rosa’s employment is terminated by his death or disability, the Company will pay him or his estate an amount equal to the Accrued Amounts.

The Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. La Rosa to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and the Company’s bylaws. As a condition of his employment with the Company, Mr. La Rosa also executed Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement dated April 12, 2022, which was amended effective as of March 15, 2026 (as amended, the “CIA Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. La Rosa agreed to non-competition restriction during the term of his employment with the Company and non-solicitation of Company clients or employees during his term of employment and for twelve months thereafter.

Mr. La Rosa also serves as a director of the Board. In addition, since October 1, 2024, Mr. La Rosa assumed the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer upon the departure of Kent Metzroth on September 1, 2024. Mr. La Rosa does not receive any additional compensation in respect of his appointment as a director or Interim Chief Financial Officer of Company.

Alex Santos

On January 10, 2022, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Alex Santos, to serve as our Chief Technology Officer as of February 1, 2022. The term of the agreement shall continue until it is terminated by either the Company or Mr. Santos upon 60 days prior written notice. In consideration of his services, the Company is to pay Mr. Santos an annual salary of $180,000. Following the end of each calendar year beginning with the 2022 calendar year, Mr. Santos is eligible to receive an annual bonus. Mr. Santos’ minimum guaranteed annual bonus shall be $15,000 payable in quarterly installments. The Company granted Mr. Santos 1 share of restricted Common Stock, which vested on the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the agreement. On each year thereafter, on the annual anniversary of the date of the effective date of the agreement, the Company shall grant Mr. Santos an additional 1 share of restricted Common Stock which shall vest on the one-year anniversary of issuance.

Mr. Santos is also entitled to receive other benefits generally available to other Company employees and he will be reimbursed for his documented and approved expenses related to and for promoting the business of the Company. Mr. Santos is entitled to three weeks paid vacation per year.

If his employment is terminated under any circumstances other than a termination by the Company without cause or a termination by him for good reason (including a voluntary termination by Mr. Santos without good reason or a termination by the Company for cause or due to Mr. Santos’ death or disability), the Company’s obligations under the employment agreement will immediately cease and Mr. Santos will only be entitled to receive: (i) the Salary that has accrued and is unpaid and to which Mr. Santos is entitled as of the effective date of such termination and to the extent consistent with general Company policy; (ii) unreimbursed business expenses; (iii) any bonus earned and approved by the Board but not yet paid; (iv) any amounts or benefits to which he is then entitled under the terms of the benefit plans then-sponsored by the Company. If Mr. Santos employment is terminated by the Company without cause or in the event of change in control of the Company (whether or not Mr. Santos is retained by a successor entity), the Company shall pay Mr. Santos in a single lump sum an amount of $100,000.

Deana La Rosa

On January 31, 2024, we entered into an employment agreement with Mrs. Deana La Rosa to act as our Chief Operating Officer as of the February 1, 2024, the effective date of the agreement, which was amended effective as of March 15, 2026 (as amended, the “COO Employment Agreement”). The COO Employment Agreement was for an initial term of one year and shall be automatically extended thereafter, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one (1) year, unless and until either party provides written notice of its intention not to extend the term of the agreement at least 45 days prior to the applicable renewal date.

Mrs. La Rosa receives a base salary of $100,000 per year (the “Salary”). In addition, Mrs. La Rosa is eligible, following the end of each calendar year beginning with the 2024 calendar year, to receive an annual performance bonus targeted of up to 50% of the her Salary based upon periodic assessments of her performance as well as the achievement of specific individual and corporate objectives determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee after consultation with Mrs. La Rosa and provided to her in writing no later than the end of the first calendar quarter of the applicable bonus year. The target bonus must be approved by the Compensation Committee. No amount of target bonus is guaranteed, and Mrs. La Rosa must be an employee on December 31 of the applicable bonus year in order to be eligible for any annual bonus for such year.

Pursuant to her employment agreement, on February 1, 2024, Mrs. La Rosa was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 38 shares of the Common Stock, which vested immediately and is exercisable (including by cashless exercise) for 10 years at the exercise price per share equal to the Nasdaq Official Closing Price as of January 31, 2024. In addition, Mrs. La Rosa may be entitled to receive equity incentive awards inside or outside of any established equity plan of the Company in the amounts, within the timeframes and under the terms set by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

We have adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original 2022 Plan”) that was approved by our stockholders and effective as of January 10, 2022. On September 19, 2024, our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors approved Amended and Restated La Rosa Holdings 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2022 Plan”). Our stockholders approved Amended 2022 Plan on November 19, 2024, and it replaced the Original 2022 Plan in its entirety.

On July 9, 2025, our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Company (by written consent in lieu of a stockholders’ meeting) approved the Second Amended and Restated La Rosa Holdings 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as further amended, the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan became effective on August 11, 2025, replaced the Amended 2022 Plan in its entirety and was further amended on December 11, 2025.

The material features of the 2022 Plan are outlined below. The below summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2022 Plan and its amendment which are filed as exhibits to this report.

*Purpose.*The 2022 Plan is intended to secure for the Company the benefits arising from ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by the employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company, all of whom are responsible for the Company’s future growth. The Plan is designed to attract and retain qualified personnel, reward employees, officers, directors, and consultants for their services to the Company, and motivate such individuals through added incentives to further contribute to the Company’s success.

Eligibility. The 2022 Plan provides an opportunity for any employee, officer, director, or consultant of the Company (which may include agents of the Company), subject to any limitations provided by federal or state securities laws, to receive incentive stock options (to eligible employees only), non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, other stock awards, or any combination of the foregoing. In making such determinations, the Compensation Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential future contribution to the Company’s success, and such other factors as the Compensation Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. Incentive stock options granted under the 2022 Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Non-qualified (non-statutory stock options) granted under the 2022 Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. No awards can be issued to any person in consideration for services rendered where such services are in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, or they directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

No incentive stock option may be granted under the 2022 Plan to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns (or is deemed to own) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of our Company or any affiliate of our Company unless the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and the term of the option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Administration. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has the exclusive right to interpret and construe the 2022 Plan, to select the eligible persons who shall receive an award, and to act in all matters pertaining to the grant of an award and the determination and interpretation of the provisions of the related award agreement, including, without limitation, the determination of the number of shares subject to stock options and the option period(s) and option price(s) thereof, the number of shares of restricted stock or shares subject to stock awards or performance shares subject to an award, the vesting periods (if any) and the form, terms, conditions and duration of each award, and any amendment thereof consistent with the provisions of the 2022 Plan.

Shares Subject to the 2022 Plan. Under the Original 2022 Plan, subject to adjustment in connection with the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or subdivision or combination of the shares of Common Stock, or a reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to awards under the plan was 625 shares. This number was increased to 1,500 shares as of November 19, 2024 pursuant to the Amended 2022 Plan and to 1,563 shares as of January 1, 2025 due to the automatic share reserve increase provision of the plan. It was further increased to 3,750 shares pursuant to the 2022 Plan as of August 11, 2025 and to 5,846 shares as of January 1, 2026 due to the automatic share reserve increase provision of the plan.

As of the date of this report, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2022 Plan is 5,846 shares, which is subject to an automatic annual share reserve increase in an amount equal to the least of (a) 500,000 shares, (b) a number of shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of all classes of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (c) such number of shares determined by the administrator of the plan no later than the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. Such shares of common stock are made available from the authorized and unissued shares of the Company.

If shares of Common Stock subject to an option or performance award granted under the 2022 Plan expire or otherwise terminate without being exercised (or exercised in full), such shares will become available again for grants under the 2022 Plan. If shares of restricted stock awarded under the 2022 Plan are forfeited to us or repurchased by us, the number of shares forfeited or repurchased shall not again be available under the 2022 Plan. Similarly, any shares cancelled in cashless exercises are not available for re-issuance under the 2022 Plan.

The Company cannot determine the amounts of awards that will be granted or allocated under the 2022 Plan or the benefits of any awards to the executive officers and directors of the Company or employees who are not executive officers as a group. Under the terms of the 2022 Plan, the number of awards to be granted is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may issue options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units or other awards under the 2022 Plan for such consideration as determined in their sole discretion, subject to applicable law.

Since the date the 2022 Plan was originally approved by the Board of Directors and the sole stockholder, we have issued 624 stock options, 3,043 shares of restricted stock, and 53 restricted stock units to certain of our agents, consultants and employees.

*Pricing; Vesting; Expiration.*The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine the exercise price of any options granted under the 2022 Plan which exercise price will be outlined in an agreement evidencing the option, provided, however, that at no time will the exercise price be less than the par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock. Also, the exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the grant and, in some cases, may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of non-statutory options may not be less than the Common Stock’s fair market value on the grant date. The exercise price of options granted under the 2022 Plan must be paid either in cash at the time the option is exercised or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee: (i) by delivery of already-owned shares of our Common Stock, (ii) pursuant to a deferred payment arrangement, (iii) pursuant to a net exercise arrangement, or (iv) pursuant to a cashless exercise as permitted under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Options and other Awards granted under the 2022 Plan may be exercisable in cumulative increments, or “vest,” as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the power to accelerate the time as of which an option may vest or be exercised. Shares of restricted stock acquired under a restricted stock purchase or grant agreement may, but need not, be subject to forfeiture to us or other restrictions that will lapse in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Compensation Committee. In the event a recipient’s employment or service with our Company terminates, any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by such recipient that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock agreement may be forfeited to our Company in accordance with such restricted stock agreement.

The Compensation Committee will determine the expiration date of options and other awards granted under the 2022 Plan. The maximum term of options and performance shares under the 2022 Plan is ten years, except that the maximum term is five years in certain cases.

Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of: (i) the adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or association as a result of which the holders of the voting capital stock of the Company as a group would receive less than 50% of the voting capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation; (ii) the approval by the Board of Directors of an agreement providing for the sale or transfer (other than as security for obligations of the Company) of substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) in the absence of a prior expression of approval by the Board of Directors, the acquisition of more than 20% of the Company’s voting capital stock by any person within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company); and unless otherwise provided in the award agreement with respect to a particular award, all outstanding stock options will become immediately exercisable in full, subject to any appropriate adjustments, and will remain exercisable for the remaining option period, regardless of any provision in the related award agreement limiting the ability to exercise such stock option or any portion thereof for any length of time. All outstanding performance shares with respect to which the applicable performance period has not been completed will be paid out as soon as practicable, and all outstanding shares of restricted stock with respect to which the restrictions have not lapsed will be deemed vested, and all such restrictions shall be deemed lapsed and the restriction period ended.

Additionally, after the merger of one or more corporations into the Company, any merger of the Company into another corporation, any consolidation of the Company and one or more corporations, or any other corporate reorganization of any form involving the Company as a party thereto and involving any exchange, conversion, adjustment or other modification of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each participant shall, at no additional cost, be entitled, upon any exercise of such participant’s stock option, to receive, in lieu of the number of shares as to which such stock option shall then be so exercised, the number and class of shares of stock or other securities or such other property to which such participant would have been entitled to pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger or consolidation or reorganization, if at the time of such merger or consolidation or reorganization, such participant had been a holder of record of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares as to which such stock option shall then be so exercised.

Modification of Awards. The Compensation Committee may reprice any stock option without the approval of the stockholders of the Company. For this purpose, “reprice” means: (i) any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (A) lowering the exercise price of a stock option after it is granted, (B) any other action that is treated as a repricing under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or (C) cancelling a stock option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock, in exchange for another stock option, restricted stock or other equity, unless the cancelation and exchange occur in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other similar corporate transaction; and (ii) any other action that is considered to be a repricing under formal or informal guidance issued by the exchange or market on which the Company’s Common Stock then trades or is quoted. In addition to, and without limiting the above, the Compensation Committee may permit the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any stock option granted under the 2022 Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the participant of a new stock option for the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock as the stock option surrendered, or may require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a new stock option to such participant. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, such new stock option will be exercisable at such option price, during such option period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Compensation Committee at the time the new stock option is granted. Upon surrender, the stock options surrendered will be cancelled, and the shares of Common Stock previously subject to them will be available for the grant of other stock options.

Termination of Employment or Consulting. The incentive stock options will lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the termination of service of an employee or director as defined in the 2022 Plan, or within such period following termination of service as determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the related award agreement; provided, further, that such period will not exceed the period of time ending on the date three (3) months following termination of service. Non-incentive stock options are governed by the related award agreements.

Tax Withholding. To the extent provided by the terms of an option or other award, a participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of such option, or award by a cash payment upon exercise, or in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, by authorizing our Company to withhold a portion of the stock otherwise issuable to the participant, by delivering already-owned shares of our Common Stock or by a combination of these means.

Federal Tax Consequences. The following is a summary of the principal United States federal income tax consequences to the recipient and our Company with respect to participation in the 2022 Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any city, state, or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside.

Incentive Stock Options. There will be no federal income tax consequences to either the recipient upon the grant of an incentive stock option or us. Upon exercise of the option, the excess of the stock’s fair market value over the exercise price, or the “spread,” will be added to the alternative minimum tax base of the recipient unless a disqualifying disposition is made in the year of exercise. A disqualifying disposition is the stock sale before the expiration of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise. If the shares of Common Stock are disposed of in a disqualifying disposition, the recipient will realize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the spread at the time of exercise, and will be entitled (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation) to a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount. If the recipient sells the shares of Common Stock after the specified periods, the gain or loss on the shares’ sale will be long-term capital gain or loss and will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction.

Non-statutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards. Non-statutory stock options and restricted stock awards granted under the 2022 Plan generally have the following federal income tax consequences.

There are no tax consequences to the participant or us because of the grant. Upon acquiring the stock, the recipient will recognize taxable ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the stock’s fair market value on the acquisition date over the purchase price. However, to the extent the stock is subject to “a substantial risk of forfeiture” (as defined in Section 83 of the Code), the taxable event will be delayed until the forfeiture provision lapses unless the recipient elects to be taxed on receipt of the stock by making a Section 83(b) election within 30 days of receipt of the stock. If such an election is not made, the recipient will generally recognize income as and when the forfeiture provision lapses, and the income recognized will be based on the stock’s fair market value on such a future date. On that date, the recipient’s holding period for purposes of determining the long-term or short-term nature of any capital gain or loss recognized on a subsequent disposition of the stock will begin. If a recipient makes a Section 83(b) election, the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the stock’s fair market value and the purchase price, if any, as of the date of receipt and the holding period for purposes of characterizing as long-term or short-term any subsequent gain or loss will begin at the date of receipt.

With respect to employees, we are generally required to withhold from regular wages or supplemental wage payments an amount based on the ordinary income recognized. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, we will generally be entitled to a business expense deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the participant.

Upon disposition of the stock, the recipient will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the selling price and the sum of the amount paid for such stock plus any amount recognized as ordinary income with respect to the stock. Such gain or loss will be long-term or short-term, depending on whether the stock has been held for more than one year.

Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain senior executives of our Company (referred to as a covered employee) in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to such employees exceeds $1,000,000. It is possible that compensation attributable to awards, when combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered employee from our Company, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular year.

Modification; Amendment; Termination. The Compensation Committee may adopt, establish, amend and rescind such rules, regulations, and procedures as it may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2022 Plan, make all other determinations which are, in the Compensation Committee’s judgment, necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the 2022 Plan, amend the 2022 Plan or a stock award as provided under the 2022 Plan, or terminate or suspend the 2022 Plan as provided therein. The Compensation Committee may also amend the 2022 Plan at any time and from time to time. However, except for adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, no amendment will be effective unless approved by our stockholders to the extent that stockholder approval is necessary to preserve incentive stock option treatment for federal income tax purposes. The Compensation Committee may submit any other amendment to the 2022 Plan for stockholder approval if it concludes that stockholder approval is otherwise advisable.

Unless sooner terminated, the 2022 Plan will terminate ten years from the date of its initial adoption by our Board of Directors, or on January 10, 2032.

Agent Incentive Program

Amended Agent Plan

In March 2022, we adopted, as an adjunct to the 2022 Plan, our 2022 Agent Incentive Plan and Participation Election Form (“Original Agent Plan”), which was further amended in April 2022. In March 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board has approved an Amended and Restated 2022 Agent Incentive Plan (the “Amended Agent Plan”), which replaced the Original Agent Plan in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Amended Agent Plan, all participation in this Agent Plan is voluntary and no agent or broker will be penalized for not participating in the plan. The Company may sell, and may, in the Compensation Committee’s absolute discretion, grant, shares of the Company’s Common Stock or RSUs to all agents and brokers in good standing with the Company, including each of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries (the “Majority Subsidiaries”), who are defined as “consultants” under the 2022 Plan (“Participants”) as a part of their, or as additional, compensation.

All agents and brokers in good standing with the Company and each of the Company’s Majority Subsidiaries (as described in that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary) are eligible to participate in the Amended Agent Plan unless they are licensed brokers, holding an equity interest in brokerage businesses, in which the Company also holds an equity interest. In addition, employees or independent contractors hired by the Company as team leaders whose job description specifically includes recruitment functions are precluded from participating in the recruiting portion of the Agent Equity Program of the plan. Only individuals who provide their social security number to the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator software are eligible. No business entities can participate in the Amended Agent Plan.

The Amended Agent Plan had two components:

(1)Agent Equity Program: The Company’s Agent Equity Program (the “Agent Equity Program”) includes the following two components:
a.Blue Diamond: Participants in the Agent Equity Program who: (i) close more than 20 sale transactions or make more than $6,000,000 gross sales volume in verified listing or buy-side transactions (the “Milestones,” and each a “Milestone”) with the Company and its Majority Subsidiaries in a given fiscal year, and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months thereafter, will receive RSUs equivalent to $2,000 based on the prior 30-day volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the last trading day prior to the Grant Date (as defined below), rounded down to a whole share. Awards will be granted to qualifying Participants on the last trading day of the month of the first anniversary of the date the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved (the “Grant Date”). For example, if the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved on April 12, 2024, the Company will grant the Participate RSUs on April 30, 2025. RSUs will vest in 24 equal installments starting the month following the Grant Date, with any remainder, if any, added to the last month of the vesting schedule. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited.
b.Recruiting:
1.Participant will receive RSUs that will have a value of $200 per agent recruited based on the prior 30-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the last trading day prior to the date of the grant, rounded down to a whole share if such Participant: (i) recruits agents who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remains with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months. Such RSUs shall be granted for every agent recruited by a Participant. The Company will grant the awards of RSUs to the qualifying Participant on the last trading day of the month of the first anniversary of the date that the Company verifies that a recruited agent has been with the Company for one year. Such RSUs will vest equally over the 24-month period starting the month after the RSUs are issued, with any remainder added to the last month of the vesting schedule. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested shares. If the Participant does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues (pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary) within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested shares will be forfeited.
2.A Participant will receive RSUs that will have a value of $8,000 based on the prior 30-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the last trading day prior to the date of the grant, rounded down to a whole share if such a Participant: (i) recruits ten (10) agents in one fiscal year who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remains with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months. A Participant will receive an additional award under the same terms and qualifications for every multiple of ten (10) agents recruited in one fiscal year. The Company will grant the awards of RSUs to the qualifying Participant on the last trading day of the month of the first anniversary of the date that the Company verifies that the requisite number of recruited agents have been with the Company for one year. Such RSUs will vest equally over the 24 month period starting the month after the RSUs are issued, with any remainder added to the last month of the vesting schedule. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested shares. If the Participant does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested shares will be forfeited.
(2)Discretionary Bonus Program: All Participants in the Discretionary Bonus Program (the “Bonus Program”) are to be eligible for a grant of RSUs in the Compensation Committee’s discretion. The Compensation Committee or its designee may, from time to time, review the performance of Participants who achieve outstanding results in their endeavors for the Company and may grant RSUs to such Participant without payment by such Participant. All RSUs granted under the Bonus Program will vest equally over the 36-month period starting the month after the award is granted, with any remainder added to the last month of the vesting schedule. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested shares. If the Participant does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested shares will be forfeited.

Second Amended Agent Plan

In September 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the Second Amended and Restated La Rosa Holdings 2022 Agent Incentive Plan (“Second Amended Agent Plan”), that became effective upon approval by the stockholders of the Company on November 19, 2024. The Second Amended Agent Plan replaced the Amended Agent Plan in its entirety.

The Second Amended Agent Plan had three components:

(1)Agent Equity Program. The Company’s Agent Equity Program (the “Agent Equity Program”) includes the following two components:
a.Blue Diamond: Participants in the Agent Equity Program will be eligible to receive an RSU who: (i) close more than 20 sale transactions or make more than $6,000,000 gross sales volume in verified listing or buy-side transactions (the “Milestones,” and each a “Milestone”) with the Company and its Majority Subsidiaries in a given calendar year, and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months thereafter. Such RSUs will be granted to qualifying Participants on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved (the “Blue Diamond Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $2,000 on the Blue Diamond Grant Date, and the RSU value will be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the month of the Blue Diamond Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved on April 12, 2024, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on April 30, 2025. RSUs will vest in 24 ratable installments in whole shares starting the month following the Blue Diamond Grant Date. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the commission plan on which they are enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Blue Diamond program shall be effective as of January 1, 2023, meaning agents who meet the Milestones in the calendar year 2023, and each year thereafter, are eligible to receive an RSU.
b.Ultimate Plan Cap.

Participants in the Agent Equity Program who enroll or renew under the Ultimate Plan 90-10 commission plan or the Ultimate Plan Business Builder commission plan (the “Profit Share Plans”), both of which have terms of 12 months from the agent start date, will be eligible to receive an RSU (i) once they cap their 10% portion of their commission in accordance with the terms of the Profit Share Plans and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months thereafter. Such RSUs will be granted to qualifying Participants on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies the agent achieved their cap (the “UP Cap Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $10,000 on the UP Cap Grant Date, and the RSU value will be converted into shares based on the VWAP of the month of the UP Cap Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies the agent capped their 10% commission in accordance with the terms of the Profit Share Plans on May 15, 2024, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on May 31, 2025. RSUs will vest in 24 ratable installments in whole shares starting the month following the UP Cap Grant Date. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the Profit Share Plans, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Ultimate Plan Cap program shall be effective as of January 1, 2024, meaning agents who enroll or renew under the Profit Share Plans on or after January 1, 2024 and meet other requirements of this program, will be eligible to receive an RSU.

c.Recruiting:
I.Participants in the Agent Equity Program will be eligible to receive an RSU if they (i) recruit agents who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months. Such RSU will be granted to a qualifying Participant on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies the such Participant recruited the agent and is still with the Company (the “Recruitment Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $200 on the Recruitment Grant Date for each agent recruited, and the RSU value will be converted into shares based on the VWAP of the month of the Recruitment Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies a Participant recruited an agent on June 20, 2024 and that agent is still with the Company one year later, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on June 30, 2025. RSUs will vest in 24 ratable installments in whole shares starting the month following the Recruitment Grant Date. Such RSUs shall be granted for every agent recruited by a Participant that meet the eligibility criteria. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the commission plan on which they are enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Recruiting program shall be effective as of January 1, 2024, meaning agents who recruit agents on or after January 1, 2024 will be eligible to receive an RSU.
II.A Participant who (i) recruits ten (10) agents in one calendar year who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remains with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months after the last agent was recruited by this Participant, will receive an additional value of $8,000 on the tenth RSU. All terms will be applied pursuant to Section I. above. If such Participant continues to recruit additional agents in the same year, every multiple of ten (10) agents recruited in one fiscal year will be enhanced with the $8,000 additional value on an RSU.
(2)Discretionary Bonus Program. All Participants in the Discretionary Bonus Program (the “Bonus Program”) are to be eligible for a grant of an equity award in the Compensation Committee’s discretion. The Compensation Committee or its designee may, from time to time, review the performance of Participants who achieve outstanding results in their endeavors for the Company and may grant an equity award to such Participant without payment by such Participant. All equity awards granted under the Bonus Program will vest based on the terms of the grant certificate. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested equity awards. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the commission plan on which the Participant is enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the agreement signed by such Participant and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested equity awards will be forfeited.

Third Amended Agent Plan

On February 4, 2025, the Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and the Majority Stockholders approved the Third Amended and Restated La Rosa Holdings 2022 Agent Incentive Plan (“Third Amended Agent Plan”), which became effective on March 28, 2025.

The purpose of adoption of the Third Amended Agent Plan was to revise the vesting terms of the grants under Agent Equity Program and to add new terms allowing the participants to authorize the Company to set aside 5% of their agent net commissions on transactions in their name to purchase shares of the Common Stock at a 20% discount from the prior 30 day volume weighted average closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq.

The Third Amended Agent Plan replaced the Second Amended Agent Plan in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Third Amended Agent Plan, all participation in the plan is voluntary and no agent or broker will be penalized for not participating in the plan. The Company may sell, and may, in the Compensation Committee’s absolute discretion, grant, shares of the Company’s Common Stock or restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to all agents and brokers in good standing with the Company, including each of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries (the “Majority Subsidiaries”), who are defined as “consultants” under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“Participants”) as a part of their, or as additional, compensation.

All agents and brokers in good standing with the Company and each of the Company’s Majority Subsidiaries (as described in that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary) are eligible to participate in the Third Amended Agent Plan unless they are licensed brokers, holding an equity interest in brokerage businesses, in which the Company also holds an equity interest. In addition, employees or independent contractors hired by the Company as team leaders whose job description specifically includes recruitment functions are precluded from participating in the recruiting portion of the Agent Equity Program of the plan. Only individuals who provide their social security number to the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator software are eligible. No business entities can participate in the Third Amended Agent Plan.

The Third Amended Agent Plan has three components:

(1)Agent Equity Program. The Company’s Agent Equity Program (the “Agent Equity Program”) includes the following three components:
a.Blue Diamond: Participants in the Agent Equity Program will be eligible to receive an RSU who: (i) close more than 20 sale transactions or make more than $6,000,000 gross sales volume in verified listing or buy-side transactions (the “Milestones,” and each a “Milestone”) with the Company and its Majority Subsidiaries in a given calendar year, and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months thereafter. Such RSUs will be granted to qualifying Participants on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved (the “Blue Diamond Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $2,000 on the Blue Diamond Grant Date, and the RSU value will be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the month of the Blue Diamond Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies a Milestone has been achieved on April 12, 2024, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on April 30, 2025. RSUs will vest in 3 ratable installments in whole shares: 1/3 at the time of the Blue Diamond Grant Date, and 1/3 at each of the next two anniversaries of such grant date. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the commission plan on which they are enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to that certain independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Blue Diamond program shall be effective as of January 1, 2023, meaning agents who meet the Milestones in the calendar year 2023, and each year thereafter, are eligible to receive an RSU.
b.Ultimate Plan Cap.

Participants in the Agent Equity Program who enroll or renew under the Ultimate Plan 90-10 commission plan or the Ultimate Plan Business Builder commission plan (the “Profit Share Plans”), both of which have terms of 12 months from the agent start date, will be eligible to receive an RSU (i) once they cap their 10% portion of their commission in accordance with the terms of the Profit Share Plans and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months thereafter. Such RSUs will be granted to qualifying Participants on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies the agent achieved their cap (the “UP Cap Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $10,000 on the UP Cap Grant Date, and the RSU value will be converted into shares based on the VWAP of the month of the UP Cap Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies the agent capped their 10% commission in accordance with the terms of the Profit Share Plans on May 15, 2024, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on May 31, 2025. RSUs will vest in 3 ratable installments in whole shares: 1/3 at the time of the UP Cap Grant Date, and 1/3 at each of the next two anniversaries of such grant date. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the Profit Share Plans, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Ultimate Plan Cap program shall be effective as of January 1, 2024, meaning agents who enroll or renew under the Profit Share Plans on or after January 1, 2024 and meet other requirements of this program, will be eligible to receive an RSU.

c.Recruiting:
I.Participants in the Agent Equity Program will be eligible to receive an RSU if they (i) recruit agents who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remain with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months. Such RSU will be granted to a qualifying Participant on the last day of the month of the one-year anniversary of the date the Company verifies the such Participant recruited the agent and is still with the Company (the “Recruitment Grant Date”). The RSU will be equivalent to $200 on the Recruitment Grant Date for each agent recruited, and the RSU value will be converted into shares based on the VWAP of the month of the Recruitment Grant Date based on the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rounded down to a whole share. For example, if the Company verifies a Participant recruited an agent on June 20, 2024 and that agent is still with the Company one year later, the Company will grant the Participant’s RSU on June 30, 2025. RSUs will vest in 3 ratable installments in whole shares: 1/3 at the time of the Recruitment Grant Date, and 1/3 at each of the next two anniversaries of such grant date. Such RSUs shall be granted for every agent recruited by a Participant that meet the eligibility criteria. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested RSUs. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the commission plan on which they are enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the independent contractor agreement signed by such agent and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited. The Recruiting program shall be effective as of January 1, 2024, meaning agents who recruit agents on or after January 1, 2024 will be eligible to receive an RSU.
II.A Participant who (i) recruits ten (10) agents in one calendar year who become agents of the Company and remain agents of the Company for at least 12 consecutive months, and (ii) remains with the Company for at least 12 consecutive months after the last agent was recruited by this Participant, will receive an additional value of $8,000 on the tenth RSU. All terms will be applied pursuant to Section I. above. If such Participant continues to recruit additional agents in the same year, every multiple of ten (10) agents recruited in one fiscal year will be enhanced with the $8,000 additional value on an RSU.
(2)Discretionary Bonus Program. All Participants in the Discretionary Bonus Program (the “Bonus Program”) are to be eligible for a grant of an equity award in the Compensation Committee’s discretion. The Compensation Committee or its designee may, from time to time, review the performance of Participants who achieve outstanding results in their endeavors for the Company and may grant an equity award to such Participant without payment by such Participant. All equity awards granted under the Bonus Program will vest based on the terms of the grant certificate. Participants who terminate their relationship with the Company during the vesting period will forfeit any unvested equity awards. If the Participant is required upon the terms of the commission plan on which the Participant is enrolled, but does not pay his or her annual or monthly dues pursuant to the agreement signed by such Participant and the Company or its Majority Subsidiary within 60 days of the due date, all remaining unvested equity awards will be forfeited.
(3)Contribution of Commission as Payment for Shares: Participants, by submitting filled out Form of Election, authorize the Company to set aside five percent (5%) of their agent net commission (after splits and fees) (“Contribution for Payment”) on transactions which close in their name to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock commencing with transactions closing 30 days after the receipt of the Form of Election by the Company (“Commission Program”). Such Common Stock will be sold to the Participant at a 20% discount from the prior 30 day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the market trading day on the Purchase Date (as defined below). Shares of Common Stock under the Commission Program shall be purchased on the last trading day of the month during which the closing on the sale of any property from which a Contribution for Payment has been authorized (“Purchase Date”). All shares of Common Stock purchased under the Commission Program will vest immediately in the name of the Participant. Any Participant may cancel his or her participation in the Commission Program by providing email notification of cancellation to the Company not less than 30 calendar days prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date.

Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under the plan, if Participant is then deceased, will be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate.

Restricted Stock Units. Each RSU grant under the Third Amended Agent Plan will be evidenced by an agreement that will specify the terms and conditions of the grant. Upon vesting each one RSU shall automatically convert into one share of Common Stock.

Associated Costs. Participants are responsible for all associated costs related to ownership of RSUs or underlying shares of Common Stock purchased or granted under the Third Amended Agent Plan.

No Guarantee of Continued Service. The vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the vesting schedule described in the plan is earned only by continuing as an agent or broker through the applicable vesting date(s), which unless provided otherwise under applicable laws is at the will of the applicable service recipient and not through the act of being hired, being granted the RSU or acquiring shares.

Termination. The Third Amended Agent Plan is subject to termination at the discretion of the Compensation Committee at any time.

Starting on July 14, 2025, the Compensation Committee suspended issuance of any grants under the Third Amended Agent Plan until a later date to be determined by the Compensation Committee.

Director Compensation

Our directors who are employed by us do not receive any additional compensation for serving on our Board.

Each non-employee director receives a retainer between $12,000 - $15,000 per quarter in cash compensation. In addition, we pay the Audit Committee Chairman a quarterly cash fee of $3,750, and we pay the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Chairman of the Compensation Committee a quarterly cash fee of $3,000 for each quarter they serve in such position.

The Compensation Committee establishes and reevaluates if it deems necessary or prudent in its discretion, the cash and equity awards (amount and manner or method of payment) to be made to non-employee directors for such fiscal year. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee may utilize such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of cash compensation paid to our peer group’s independent directors.

The Compensation Committee has the power and discretion to determine in the future whether non-employee directors should receive annual or other grants of options to purchase shares of common stock or other equity incentive awards in such amounts and under such policies as the Compensation Committee may determine utilizing such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of equity awards granted to independent directors of our peer group.

None of our executive officers serve as a member of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (or other committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

The following table sets forth, for the year ended December 31, 2025 information with respect to the compensation for services in all capacities to us and our subsidiaries earned by our directors, who are not officers, who served during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers serve as a member of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (or other committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Policies and practices for granting certain equity awards.

The Company’s policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees.

The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions, and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.

In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board of Directors or Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.

The Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
