Envela Corp Stock Compensation Disclosure
NOTE 14 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On June 25, 2025, our shareholders approved the adoption of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), effective June 25, 2025. The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of up to 1.1 million shares of Common Stock pursuant to awards granted under the plan.
The 2025 Plan will remain in effect for a term of 10 years from the effective date, unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.
As of December 31, 2025, no awards have been granted under the 2025 Plan. In the 2024 comparative period, there was no stock-based compensation activity under any prior plans. As a result, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

About Stock Compensation Disclosures
Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.
Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
