The bonuses are reportedly being utilized to “incentivize” the two execs to remain with the company and “address any concerns about [their] job security. The two execs are set to receive three bonuses as a result, with the first to be delivered ten days after the signing of the bonus off letter, the second to be delivered on the first payroll date on or after September 30, and the third to be delivered on the first payroll date on or after December 30, 2022.
