Appointment of New Chief Executive Officer
On December 17, 2024, AirSculpt Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has hired Yogesh Jashnani, 43, to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective January 7, 2025. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Jashnani served as the Chief Revenue Officer of Sky Zone, Inc. from November 2023 to January 2025 (and as a consultant in the same role from April 2023 to November 2023), and as Chief Commercial Officer of Ideal Image Development Corp., from December 2019 to March 2023. Mr. Jashnani received his B.E. from the University of Mumbai and his M.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Jashnani and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an executive officer of the Company, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Jashnani and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Mr. Jashnani has no direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Jashnani will receive the following compensation:
| · | Annual base salary equal to $700,000; |
| · | Eligibility to earn an annual target cash performance bonus of 100% of Mr. Jashnani’s annual base salary for each fiscal year during Mr. Jashnani’s term; |
| · | Eligibility to receive reimbursement of any reasonable relocation or moving expenses incurred by Mr. Jashnani in the event that the Company requires Mr. Jashnani to relocate his principal office location to the Company’s principal office, up to a maximum of $175,000; |
| · | A sign-on cash bonus equal to $262,500 with $150,000 paid on signing and the remainder paid when annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s executive officers; |
| · | A sign-on equity award with a grant value of $2,333,333, consisting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a grant date value of $1,000,000 (vesting annually over three years) and of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) with a grant date value of $1,333,333, which will be eligible to vest over a three-year period based on stock price appreciation from the grant date, as measured by a sixty-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) as follows: 25% of the PSU stock price goal is met when the 60-day VWAP is at least 125% of grant date stock price; 50% of the PSU stock price goal is met when the 60-day VWAP is at least 175% of grant date stock price; 75% of the PSU stock price goal is met when the 60-day VWAP is at least 200% of grant date stock price; and 100% of the PSU stock price goal is met when the 60-day VWAP is at least 225% of grant date stock price. The number of RSUs and PSUs to be granted to Mr. Jashnani will be based on (i) the applicable grant date value above divided by (ii) the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date; |
| · | Eligibility to participate in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, with a 2025 annual equity award having a grant date value of 200% of Mr. Jashnani’s annual base salary on terms substantially similar to the Company’s other executive officers, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable grant agreement and the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and |
| · | Eligibility in the Company’s standard benefits program. |
In addition, Mr. Jashnani is entitled to the following severance benefits upon a termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” (in addition to any accrued benefits at the time of termination), subject to Mr. Jashnani’s execution, and non-revocation, or a general release of claims in favor of the Company:
| · | If such termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” occurs more than 3 months prior to, or 12 months following, a change in control: |
| o | Continued payment of Mr. Jashnani’s base salary for 12 months immediately following termination; |
| o | Payment of a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination based on actual performance when other Company executives are paid annual bonuses; |
| o | Monthly payments equal to the cost of COBRA coverage for Mr. Jashnani and eligible dependents for 12 months following termination; |
| o | 12 months of vesting acceleration for unvested RSUs which remain outstanding upon termination under the sign-on equity award and 2025 annual equity award; and |
| o | Proration of the number of PSUs under the sign-on equity award and 2025 annual equity award based on the number of days that Mr. Jashnani was employed during the applicable performance period, which will vest based on actual performance achievement at the end of the applicable performance period. |
| · | If such termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” occurs within 3 months prior to, or 12 months following, a change in control: |
| o | A lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of Mr. Jashnani’s base salary and target annual bonus; |
| o | Monthly payments equal to the cost of COBRA coverage for Mr. Jashnani and eligible dependents for 18 months following termination (unless Mr. Jashnani becomes eligible for medical coverage under a new employer’s plan or COBRA coverage ceases prior to such date); |
| o | Full vesting acceleration for unvested RSUs which remain outstanding upon termination under all of Mr. Jashnani’s equity awards; and |
| o | Conversion of all outstanding PSUs under all of Mr. Jashnani’s equity awards upon a change in control into time-based RSUs at the greater of target and actual performance through the date of such change in control, which will vest in full at the end of the performance period, or if earlier, upon Mr. Jashnani’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason within 3 months prior to, or 12 months following, following a change in control. |
