CEO Compensation
As previously reported in the proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) on April 29, 2026, effective as of February 1, 2026 the annual base salary of Rodney Baltzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was $425,000 and his target bonus was 75% of his annual base salary, which was approved by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on February 23, 2026. At that time, the Committee approved and, upon recommendation of the Committee, on February 24, 2026, the Board approved an increase in the annual base salary of Mr. Baltzer from $340,000 to $425,000 and his target bonus from 35% to 75% of his annual base salary.
Officers’ Compensation Changes
On August 25, 2026, the Committee and, upon its recommendation, the Board approved changes to the compensation of certain of the Company’s officers, effective as of July 1, 2026. Under the approved changes, the annual base salaries of Chris Parker, Chief Commercial Officer, and Jesse Sloane, Executive Vice President, Engineering, were increased from £180,500, and $259,500 to £215,000 $315,000, respectively. In addition, the target bonus for each of Mr. Parker and Mr. Sloane was increased from 20% to 35% of their respective annual base salaries.
Because the compensation changes for Mr. Parker and Mr. Sloane were approved by the Board on August 25, 2026 with a retroactive effective date of July 1, 2026, the Board also approved one-time bonus payments to such officers to account for the difference in compensation for the July and August pay periods, as follows: Mr. Parker received a one-time payment of £69,000; and Mr. Sloane received a one-time payment of $48,462.
