📄 **Grindr Inc. (GRND) 呈交 8-K 表格**  
日期：2026年6月19日  

**重點：調整財務總監 John North 薪酬**  
Grindr 薪酬委員會於 6月19日批准對 CFO John North 的薪酬作出以下變更，以獎勵其表現並加強長期留任及股東價值創造：

1. **年薪上調**：自 2026年10月1日（入職一週年）起，基本年薪由 17.5 萬美元調升至 27.5 萬美元 💰。  
2. **年度目標獎金**：確認 2026 財政年度及以後的目標獎金為年薪的 100%（按比例調整）。  
3. **修改市場條件限制股票單位（RSU）**  
   原有 RSU 安排被修改，但績效門檻及最高可獲總值不變。修改後的三層條件如下（以最早達成的為準）：

   - **第一層**（須在 2027年12月31日或之前達成）  
     任一條件滿足：  
     - 90天日均市值超過 50 億美元；或  
     - 加權平均股價連續15日達 26 美元或以上；或  
     - 過去四季經調整 EBITDA（TTM）達 2.75 億美元或以上。  
     ➡ 授予 RSU 價值 160 萬美元（按授予前90天均價計）✅ 即時歸屬。

   - **第二層**（2027年7月1日至2029年3月31日）  
     任一條件：  
     - 日均市值超 75 億美元；或  
     - 股價連續15日達 39 美元或以上；或  
     - TTM EBITDA 達 4.12 億美元或以上。  
     ➡ 授予 RSU 價值 700 萬美元 ✅ 即時歸屬。

   - **第三層**（2027年7月1日至2030年12月31日）  
     任一條件：  
     - 日均市值超 100 億美元；或  
     - 股價連續15日達 52 美元或以上；或  
     - TTM EBITDA 達 5.5 億美元或以上。  
     ➡ 授予 RSU 價值 1,050 萬美元 ✅ 即時歸屬。

**控制權變更加速條款**：若發生控制權變更，且變更前未達成上述條件，將按相應市值/股價門檻授予等值 RSU（價值與上述相同），並即時歸屬。

**對投資者的潛在影響**  
此舉旨在將 CFO 的報酬與 Grindr 市值、股價及 EBITDA 增長掛鉤，強烈鼓勵管理層推動公司達成高增長目標。若成功達標，將顯著提升股東回報；同時亦反映薪酬委員會對 John North 上任以來表現的肯定。投資者可留意 Grindr 能否在未來數年實現這些進取目標，從而影響股價走勢 🚀。

 Item 5.02

 
 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

 

  

 On June 19, 2026, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Grindr Inc.
 (the “Company” or “Grindr”) approved certain changes to the compensation of John North, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., its independent compensation
 consultant, reviewed the compensation arrangements the Company has with Mr. North, and based on its review, the performance of Mr. North since joining the Company on October 1, 2025, and to provide incentives that the Compensation Committee
 believes are appropriate to retain its executive officers over the long term and incentivize them to maximize stockholder value and achieve the Company’s corporate objectives, the Compensation Committee: (i) approved an increase to Mr. North’s
 annual base salary from $175,000 to $275,000, effective October 1, 2026, the one year anniversary of his start date; (ii) confirmed that Mr. North’s annual target bonus opportunity for the 2026 fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year will be
 equal to 100% of his annual base salary, prorated to reflect any changes in his annual base salary during the applicable fiscal year; and (iii) modified a market condition performance-vesting restricted stock unit (“RSU”) arrangement previously
 provided to Mr. North that vests upon the achievement of targets related to the Company’s market capitalization, stock price, or trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as described below (“North Modified Market Cap RSU Arrangement”) to modify the dollar
 value of the RSUs Mr. North will be granted at each performance threshold, but did not modify the performance thresholds or the aggregate dollar value of the shares of Company common stock that Mr. North is eligible to receive if all the
 performance conditions are satisfied.

  

 As noted above, the Compensation Committee established the North Modified Market Cap RSU Arrangement, which modifies the arrangement
 previously provided to Mr. North.  As modified:

  

 
 
 
 

 

  

 
 •

 

 
 On the first occasion (if any) on or prior to December 31, 2027 that (i) Grindr’s daily average market capitalization over a 90-trading day period (the “Average Grindr Market Cap”)
 exceeds $5 billion, (ii) the average per-share volume-weighted average price (“average VWAP”) of a share of Grindr’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $26 for 15 consecutive trading days, or (iii) Grindr’s Adjusted EBITDA for the four
 fiscal quarters preceding and including the most recently completed fiscal quarter of Grindr prior to the determination date (the “TTM EBITDA”) equals or exceeds $275 million (the earliest date on which the first of (i), (ii), or
 (iii) occurs, the “North First Performance Date”), then Mr. North will be granted a number of RSUs equal to (a) $1,600,000 divided by (b) the average VWAP for the 90 trading days preceding the North First Performance Date, in each
 case to be fully vested on grant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

  

 
 •

 

 
 On the first occasion (if any) on or after July 1, 2027 and on or prior to March 31, 2029 that (i) the Average Grindr Market Cap exceeds $7.5 billion, (ii) the average VWAP equals or
 exceeds $39 for 15 consecutive trading days, or (iii) TTM EBITDA equals or exceeds $412 million (the earliest date on which the first of (i), (ii), or (iii) occurs, the “North Second Performance Date”), Mr. North will be granted a number
 of RSUs equal to (i) $7,000,000 divided by (ii) the average VWAP for the 90 trading days preceding the North Second Performance Date, to be fully vested on grant.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

  

 
 •

 

 
 On the first occasion (if any) on or after July 1, 2027 and on or prior to December 31, 2030 that (i) the Average Grindr Market Cap exceeds $10 billion, (ii) the average VWAP equals or
 exceeds $52 for 15 consecutive trading days, or (iii) TTM EBITDA equals or exceeds $550 million (the earliest date on which the first of (i), (ii), or (iii) occurs, the “North Third Performance Date”), Mr. North will be granted a number
 of RSUs equal to (a) $10,500,000 divided by (b) the average VWAP for the 90 trading days preceding the North Third Performance Date, to be fully vested on grant.

 

 

 

 

 

 In addition, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Grindr’s Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan), Mr. North
 will be granted immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of a Change in Control and subject to his continuous employment through immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, grants of fully vested RSUs equal
 to (x) $1.6 million divided by the per-share consideration in the Change in Control if the CIC Price (as defined in that certain Offer Letter, dated September 30, 2025, by and between the Company and John North, as amended on December 1, 2025)
 exceeds $5 billion and the Change in Control is consummated on or prior to December 31, 2027; (y) $7 million divided by the per-share consideration in the Change in Control if the CIC Price exceeds $7.5 billion and the Change in Control is
 consummated on or after July 1, 2027 and on or prior to March 31, 2029; and (z) $10.5 million divided by the per-share consideration in the Change in Control if the CIC Price exceeds $10 billion and the Change in Control is consummated on or after
 July 1, 2027 and on or prior to December 31, 2030, and in each case, for each such threshold that had otherwise not been met prior to the Change in Control.
