XTI Aerospace ( (XTIA) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On January 2, 2026, XTI Aerospace entered into new three-year employment agreements with Chief Executive Officer Scott Pomeroy and Chief Financial Officer Brooke Turk, effective December 30, 2025, replacing contracts that expired at year-end 2025. The deals significantly detail base salaries of $800,000 for Pomeroy and $600,000 for Turk, continuation bonuses of $350,000 and $250,000, respectively, performance-based quarterly bonus opportunities, and substantial severance, equity-vesting, and benefit protections in the event of termination, good reason resignation, or change in control, underscoring the board’s commitment to retaining its top leadership and aligning them with potential M&A activity. On December 30, 2025, the compensation committee also granted Pomeroy options over 2,621,100 shares and Turk options over 1,512,200 shares at an exercise price of $1.26, with partial immediate vesting and the balance vesting quarterly over two years, further tying executive incentives to long-term share performance. At the company’s December 30, 2025 annual meeting, shareholders re-elected Class II director Clinton J. Weber, ratified CBIZ CPAs P.C. as auditor for 2025, and approved the potential issuance of more than 20% of outstanding common stock in certain financing transactions as well as the ability to adjourn the meeting; approval of the large issuance authorization automatically triggered conversion of all outstanding Series 10 Convertible Preferred Stock into common shares, with pre-funded warrants or abeyance mechanisms used where ownership caps would otherwise be breached, simplifying the capital structure and facilitating future financings.
