The Stock Option was granted pursuant to Section 3(c) of the Employment Agreement and the Z Squared, Inc. 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan. The Stock Option vests in full on the date the fair market value of the common stock increases by 50% above the grant-date fair market value, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, and remains exercisable for ten (10) years from the grant date, subject to earlier termination under the 2025 Plan and applicable award agreement. Iin addition, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the issuer agreed to grant the reporting person an annual bonus of restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a grant-date fair market value of $150,000. The RSUs were granted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement and the Z Squared, Inc. 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting and has no expiration date. The number of RSUs reported was determined by dividing $150,000 by the closing price per share of the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on April 27, 2026 (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The RSUs vest in equal quarterly installments over one year commencing on April 27, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continued employment with the issuer on each vesting date. /s/ Ryan Schadel 2026-04-30
