Netcapital's 1 Million Share Inducement Grant Tied to Ambitious Revenue Target
Netcapital Inc. (NASDAQ: NCPL) has issued a significant inducement grant of 1,000,000 restricted shares to a new employee— but this award is anything but guaranteed. The shares are locked behind a stringent performance threshold that puts Netcapital's revenue growth front and center.
Vesting Requires Netcapital to Hit or Exceed $1.5M in Revenue
The new restricted stock award, granted under the 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, will only fully vest if Netcapital generates at least $1.5 million in revenue during a specific measuring window: February 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027. Should revenue fall short— specifically, below $900,000— the employee walks away with nothing. For results in between, vesting occurs on a pro-rata scale. This setup creates a clear alignment between employee compensation and shareholder value.
| Revenue ($) | Vesting (%) | Shares Vested |
|---|---|---|
| < 900,000 | 0 | 0 |
| 900,000 – 1,499,999 | Pro-rata | 0 – 1,000,000 |
| ≥ 1,500,000 | 100 | 1,000,000 |
Equity Strategy Reinforces Growth Focus and Employee Buy-In
This structure sends a strong signal: leadership compensation at Netcapital is being directly linked to operational performance, with substantial upside only unlocked if aggressive growth goals are met. For shareholders, it demonstrates an emphasis on aligning employee incentives with broader company targets— mitigating dilution unless meaningful revenue expansion is achieved.

What Investors Should Watch Going Forward
The new inducement grant sets a clear revenue milestone to monitor as Netcapital executes its strategy over the next two years. Investors should pay close attention to quarterly updates, revenue run-rate, and signals about onboarding or growth momentum. While the grant doesn’t guarantee results, it sets the bar high and could spur operational discipline.
With the current share price at $1.09 (as of 9:52 AM), the dilution risk only materializes if performance targets are achieved— aligning all stakeholders behind Netcapital's growth trajectory. For more details, investors can contact Netcapital directly at 800-460-0815 or ir@netcapital.com.
