•"business combination" or “combination” refers to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which (i) Hulu (x) contributed certain assets (the “HL Business Assets”) related to the business of negotiating and administering carriage agreements and similar contracts relating to and for the purpose of the retransmission, distribution, carriage, display or broadcast of any programming service, channel or network on the Hulu Live Service (the “Hulu Live Business”) to Hulu Live, (y) caused Hulu Live to assume only the HL Business Liabilities (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (z) contributed the HL Business and the HL Business Assets to a newly formed entity, Newco, by transferring all of its right, title and interest in, to and under 100% of the equity interests of HL to Newco, (ii) the Company underwent an umbrella partnership C corporation reorganization (the “Up-C Reorganization”) and contributed 100% of the equity interests in a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Fubo OpCo, to which the Company had previously contributed the Company's business prior to the Closing Date, to Newco in exchange for units in Newco (“Newco Units”), resulting in Hulu holding a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 70% economic interest (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) in Newco and the Company holding a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 30% economic interest (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) in Newco, and (iii) the Company issued to Hulu shares of Class B Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a 70% voting interest in the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted basis).
•"Business Combination Agreement" refers to the business combination agreement, dated as of January 6, 2025, by and among the Company, Disney and Hulu.
•"Closing Date" refers to October 29, 2025.
•"Conversion" refers to the conversion of the Company from a Florida corporation to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion that occurred on the Closing Date.
•"Disney" refers to The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation.
•"Fubo OpCo" refers to Fubo Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Newco.
•"Hulu" refers to Hulu, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney.
•"Hulu Live" refers to Hulu Live LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco.
•“Hulu Live Business” refers to the Hulu + Live TV business which consists of certain assets related to the business of negotiating and administering carriage agreements and similar contracts relating to and for the purpose of the retransmission, distribution, carriage, display or broadcast of any programming service, channel or network on the Hulu Live Service.
•"Hulu Live Service" refers to Hulu’s linear multi-channel subscription video programming distribution service component of the offering known as “Hulu + Live TV."

Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30, with the Company’s first full fiscal year following the Closing Date to end on September 30, 2026. Prior to the Closing Date, the fiscal year of the Hulu Live Business, the accounting acquirer in the business combination, ended on the Saturday closest to September 30. Except as otherwise indicated, references in this Proxy Statement to “fiscal 2025” refer to the twelve months ended September 27, 2025. For purposes of the compensation-related disclosures in this Proxy Statement, “2025 Transition Period” refers to the period from January 1, 2025 through September 27, 2025.
On March 23, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified into one new share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively. Proportionate adjustments were made to the exercise or conversion prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards and convertible notes, as applicable, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans. All historical share amounts, including shares underlying outstanding equity awards and related exercise and conversion prices, have been retroactively adjusted throughout this Proxy Statement to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as if the Reverse Stock Split occurred as of the earliest period presented.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Proxy Statement includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” or the negative version of these words and other comparable terminology that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, intentions, or projections. Forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our anticipated financial performance, including our expectations with respect to profitability, our corporate governance practices, our executive and director compensation program, our equity plan usage, the benefits of our business combination with Hulu + Live TV, including expected synergies and advantages for consumers, and future content offerings.
We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 6, 2026 (the “Quarterly Report”), the “Supplemental Business Information” and “Supplemental Hulu Live MD&A” included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025 (the "HL Business Closing 8-K") and subsequent filings with the SEC. These risks are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Proxy Statement may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such
information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Proxy Statement relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Proxy Statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Proxy Statement or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

2026 Proxy Statement 1 | COMPANY OVERVIEW | ||
2025 represented a year of transformation and a significant milestone in our corporate history. At the start of the year in January, we announced a definitive agreement with Disney to combine the Fubo and Hulu + Live TV businesses, creating a scaled live TV streaming company centered on consumer choice, flexible programming packages and cutting-edge user experiences. In October 2025, we successfully completed this combination, creating the sixth largest Pay TV company in the United States, with approximately 6 million subscribers across North America as of the Closing Date. The combined business offers an expansive content portfolio, including more than 55,000 live sporting events, alongside a broad range of entertainment programming, with Fubo and Hulu + Live TV continuing to operate as distinct consumer brands. Effective as of the Closing Date, we also changed our fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30, with the Company’s first full fiscal year following the Closing Date to end on September 30, 2026.
Following the transaction, Disney holds an approximately 70% ownership interest in the Company. Fubo’s existing management team, led by Co-founder and CEO David Gandler, continues to lead the combined operations. In addition, a newly constituted board of directors with significant operational experience across finance, media, entertainment and sports in global markets has been formed to guide the strategic vision of the Company.

2026 Proxy Statement 7 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is June 2, 2026. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for all matters before the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 29,443,758 shares of Class A Common Stock and 78,992,518 shares of Class B Common Stock, all of which are held by Disney, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A “RECORD HOLDER” AND HOLDING SHARES IN “STREET NAME”?
A record holder holds shares in his or her name. Shares held in “street name” means shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf.
AM I ENTITLED TO VOTE IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME”?
Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.
HOW MANY SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE ANNUAL MEETING?
A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting, via live webcast or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum.
WHO CAN ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
In order to allow greater attendance and participation, the Annual Meeting will be held entirely online. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FUBO2026. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.
To participate and vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 11:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. If your shares are held in street name and you did not receive a 16-digit control number, you may gain access to and vote at the Annual Meeting by logging in to your bank or brokerage firm’s website and selecting the stockholder communications mailbox to access the meeting. The control number will automatically populate. Instructions should also be provided on the voting instruction card provided by your bank or brokerage firm. If you lose your 16-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest,” but you will not be able to vote or ask questions.

WILL THERE BE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING?

Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:
•irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;
•related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;
•related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;
•related to personal grievances;
•derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;
•substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder;
•in excess of the two question limit;
•in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or
•out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or Corporate Secretary in their reasonable judgment.
Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?”.
WHAT IF A QUORUM IS NOT PRESENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, then either the person presiding over the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares represented, and who would be entitled to vote at a meeting if a quorum were present, may adjourn the Annual Meeting.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE INTERNET NOTICE OR MORE THAN ONE SET OF PROXY MATERIALS?
It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Internet Notice or set of
2026 Proxy Statement 9 proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

If you are a registered stockholder, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote:
•by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;
•by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;
•by giving written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Fubo prior to the Annual Meeting; or
•by attending and voting during the Annual Meeting live webcast.
Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote at the Annual Meeting.
2026 Proxy Statement 10 If your shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote at the Annual Meeting by following the procedures described above.
WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?
A representative of Broadridge, our inspector of election, will tabulate and certify the votes.
WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?
If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ recommendations are indicated on page 1 of this Proxy Statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement.
WILL ANY OTHER BUSINESS BE CONDUCTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
We know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, however, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.
2026 Proxy Statement 11 HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON AND HOW WILL VOTES WITHHELD, ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES BE TREATED?
| PROPOSAL | Votes Required | Effect of Votes Withheld / Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes | ||||||||||||
| Proposal 1: Election of Directors | The plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nine nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. | Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect. | ||||||||||||
| Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal. | ||||||||||||
| Proposal 3: Approval, on an Advisory (Non-Binding) Basis, of the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. | ||||||||||||
| Proposal 4: Approval, on an Advisory (Non-Binding) Basis, of the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. If no frequency receives the foregoing vote, we will consider the frequency (one year, two years or three years) that receives the highest number of votes cast to be the frequency recommended by stockholders. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. | ||||||||||||
Proposal 5: Approval of an Amendment to the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan to, Among Other Things, Increase the Number of Shares of Common Stock Available for Issuance | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. | ||||||||||||
Proposal 6: Approval of an Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to remove additional voting requirements for removal of Hulu Designees | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on such matter. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against this proposal. | ||||||||||||
WHAT IS A VOTE WITHHELD AND AN ABSTENTION AND DO THEY COUNT FOR DETERMINING A QUORUM?
A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of each other proposal before the Annual Meeting, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
WHAT ARE BROKER NON-VOTES AND DO THEY COUNT FOR DETERMINING A QUORUM?
Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. On the other hand, each
2026 Proxy Statement 12 other proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is a non-routine matter and, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on such matters. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?
We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC shortly after the Annual Meeting.

2026 Proxy Statement 19 | PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM | ||
Our Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification. Although ratification of the appointment of PwC is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of PwC is a good corporate governance practice.
As previously disclosed, prior to the closing of the business combination and the Company’s adoption of its current fiscal year, due to specific auditor independence implications under the rules of the SEC that would have resulted upon the consummation of the business combination, the Audit Committee (i) dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) appointed PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, in each case effective on May 20, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). KPMG served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and in the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no: (1) “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with their opinions for such years, or (2) “reportable events” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosures contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 27, 2025 (the “Form 8-K”) and requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements contained therein. A copy of KPMG’s letter, dated May 27, 2025, in which it confirmed that it did not disagree with the statements in the Form 8-K, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted PwC with respect to (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Neither PwC nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. A representative of PwC is expected to attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast, to have an opportunity to make a statement if desired, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
In the event that the appointment of PwC is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the interests of Fubo.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
2026 Proxy Statement 20 REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On October 29, 2025, the Company, Disney and Hulu consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties combined Fubo’s existing business with the Hulu Live Business. The Company has accounted for the business combination as a reverse acquisition of the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, with the Hulu Live Business treated as the accounting acquirer. In connection with the closing of the business combination, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30.
As a result of the business combination and change of fiscal year, the Company will file its next Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. The audited combined financial statements of the Hulu Live Business as of and for the fiscal years ended September 27, 2025, September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 (the “Hulu Live Business Historical Financials”), including the report of PwC, as the independent auditor of the Hulu Live Business, have been included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025 and in the 2025 Annual Report, in lieu of inclusion in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Hulu Live Business Historical Financials relate to periods prior to the closing of the business combination and were prepared by the management of the Hulu Live Business, without review and oversight by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

2026 Proxy Statement 22 PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (“SAY-ON-PAY VOTE”) | ||
BACKGROUND
As required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, the below resolution enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay Vote”, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. The Say-on-Pay Vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.
We encourage you to carefully review the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for additional details on the Company’s executive compensation for the 2025 Transition Period. The “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement also includes information on the processes our Compensation Committee is using to determine the structure and amounts of the compensation of executive officers in fiscal 2026 and beyond.
As an advisory approval, this proposal is not binding upon us or our Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for the design and administration of our executive compensation program, values the opinions of our stockholders expressed through your vote on this proposal. The Board and Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this vote in making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of FuboTV Inc. approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of FuboTV Inc.’s named executive officers as described in the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative disclosure set forth in FuboTV Inc.’s Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”
Following our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders held on November 19, 2020, the Company’s stockholders recommended, and the Board determined, that the advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers would occur every year. We expect that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, although the Board will consider the outcome of the advisory vote in Proposal 4 when making a final determination.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote FOR the resolution to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative disclosure set forth in this Proxy Statement.
2026 Proxy Statement 23 PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) BASIS, OF THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTES ON COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (“SAY-ON-FREQUENCY VOTE”) | ||
BACKGROUND
As required by Section 14A(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, the below resolution enables our stockholders the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding basis, to advise our Board on how frequently we should hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. By voting on this proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Frequency Vote”, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two, or three years.
After careful consideration of this proposal, the Board recommends that future advisory stockholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers continue to occur every year.
In formulating its recommendation, the Board considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation allows our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. The Board has further determined that an annual vote is consistent with best corporate governance practices and the frequency with which our Compensation Committee evaluates, adjusts and approves executive compensation. We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what the best approach is for the Company, and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this proposal.
You may cast your vote for your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or you may abstain from voting on this Proposal.
As an advisory approval, this proposal is not binding upon us, our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and intend to consider our stockholders’ views regarding how often they should be offered an advisory vote on our executive compensation programs.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, for future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers to occur once every ONE YEAR.
2026 Proxy Statement 24 PROPOSAL 5: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE | ||
OVERVIEW
We are requesting that our stockholders approve the amendment and restatement of our existing fuboTV Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The existing fuboTV Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, is referred to herein as the “Existing Plan.” On June [ ], 2026, our Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Existing Plan, subject to stockholder approval. This amended and restated plan is referred to in this proposal as the “Restated Plan.” The Restated Plan will become effective upon stockholder approval.
Employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive awards under the Restated Plan, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), other share-based awards, including grants of unrestricted stock, and performance awards, including annual and long-term cash performance awards.
The material terms of the Restated Plan are summarized below. The key differences between the terms of the Existing Plan and the Restated Plan are as follows:
•Share Reserve Increase. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Existing Plan is equal to the sum of (1) 7,593,054 shares, plus (2) 52,806 shares that were subject to awards issued pursuant to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) as of the original effective date of the Existing Plan that have become available for issuance under the Existing Plan on or after its original effective date due to the forfeiture or expiration of the original award, plus (3) up to an additional 66,587 shares that may become available for issuance under the Existing Plan pursuant to the expiration or forfeiture of outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan (based on the number of awards outstanding under the 2015 Plan as of May 1, 2026).
Under the Restated Plan, as of the date of the Annual Meeting, an aggregate of 7,000,000 additional shares will be reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan relative to the share reserve under the Existing Plan. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Restated Plan will be equal to the sum of (1) 14,593,054 shares, plus (2) 52,806 shares that were subject to awards issued pursuant to the “2015 Plan” as of the original effective date of the Existing Plan that have become available for issuance under the Existing Plan on or after its original effective date due to the forfeiture or expiration of the original award, plus (3) up to an additional 66,587 shares that may become available for issuance under the Existing Plan pursuant to the expiration or forfeiture of outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan (based on the number of awards outstanding under the 2015 Plan as of May 1, 2026).
We may, prior to the date of the Annual Meeting, grant additional equity awards out of the remaining share reserve under the Existing Plan, although these awards are within the discretion of the Administrator and are not currently determinable. Any such awards will reduce the shares available for future issuance under the Existing Plan and, as a result, pursuant to the Restated Plan.
If our stockholders do not approve the Restated Plan, as of May 1, 2026, a total of 1,335,833 shares would remain available for issuance under the Existing Plan (with performance awards counted assuming “maximum” performance for this purpose).
All of the foregoing share numbers may be adjusted for changes in our capitalization and certain corporate transactions, as described below under the headings “Certain Adjustments” and “Merger or Change in Control.”
2026 Proxy Statement 25 The proposed increase in shares available for issuance under the Restated Plan (over the existing share reserve under the Existing Plan) has been reviewed and approved by our Board. In the process, the Board determined that the existing number of shares available for issuance under the Existing Plan was insufficient to meet our ongoing needs to provide long-term incentive grants on an ongoing and regular basis to motivate, reward and retain key employees who create stockholder value. The increase in shares has been necessitated by the hiring of new employees and by granting additional stock awards to current employees as long-term incentives. The increase will enable us to continue our policy of equity ownership by employees and directors as an incentive to contribute to our continued success.
•Increased ISO Limit; Term for Issuance of ISOs. Under the Restated Plan, no more than 14,593,054 shares may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs, subject to adjustment for changes in our capitalization and certain corporate transactions, as described below. In no event may ISOs be granted under the Restated Plan following the earlier to occur of (1) the tenth anniversary of the date the Board approved the Restated Plan or (2) the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approved the Restated Plan.
•Extended Term. The Restated Plan will have an indefinite term.
In general, stockholder approval of the Restated Plan is necessary in order for us to (1) meet the stockholder approval requirements of the principal securities market on which shares of our Common Stock are traded, and (2) grant stock options that qualify as ISOs as defined under Section 422 of the Code.
If the Restated Plan is not approved by our stockholders, the Restated Plan will not become effective, the Existing Plan will continue in full force and effect, and we may continue to grant awards under the Existing Plan, subject to its terms, conditions and limitations, using the shares available for issuance thereunder.
KEY FEATURES OF THE RESTATED PLAN
The Company has long had an ownership culture in which its officers, managers and other key employees are granted restricted stock units, stock options and other equity-based awards to align their interests with those of stockholders. The Board believes the ownership culture at the Company motivates the achievement of superior performance, and also plays an essential role in retaining top talent. The Restated Plan would permit the Company to continue to use equity-based awards as an integral part of its compensation program.
The Restated Plan reflects a broad range of compensation and governance best practices, with some of the key features of the Restated Plan as follows:
•No Increase to Shares Available for Issuance without Stockholder Approval. Without stockholder approval, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Restated Plan cannot be increased (other than pursuant to the evergreen provision and adjustments in connection with certain corporate reorganizations and other events).
•No Automatic Vesting for Awards. The Restated Plan does not have automatic accelerated vesting provisions for awards in connection with a change in control (other than in connection with the non-assumption of awards).
•Limitations on Dividend Payments on Unvested Awards. Dividends and dividend equivalents may not be paid on stock options or stock appreciation rights. Dividends and dividend equivalents payable with respect to awards subject to vesting are subject to the same vesting requirements as the awards with respect to which they are paid.
•Repricing Prohibited. Other than pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Plan described below under the headings “Certain Adjustments” and “Merger or Change in Control,” the plan administrator may not without the approval of the Company’s stockholders (1) lower the exercise price of an option or SAR after it is granted or (2) cancel an option or SAR when the exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares in exchange for cash or another award.
2026 Proxy Statement 26 •Limitations on Grants to Directors. The value of awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $750,000 (increased to $1,500,000 in the fiscal year of a non-employee director’s initial service as a non-employee director).
•No In-the-Money Option or Stock Appreciation Right Grants; Limit on Term of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of Ten Years. The Restated Plan prohibits the grant of options or SARs with an exercise or base price less than 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The maximum permitted term of any stock option or SAR under the Restated Plan is ten years from the date of grant.
•No Tax Gross-ups. The Restated Plan does not contain any tax gross-up provisions.
•Forfeiture Events. Each award under the Restated Plan will be subject to any clawback policy of ours, and the administrator may require a participant to forfeit, return, or reimburse us all or a portion of the award and any amounts paid under the award in order to comply with such clawback policy or applicable laws.
•Independent Administration. The Compensation Committee of our Board, which consists of two or more non-employee directors, generally will administer the Restated Plan if it is approved by stockholders. The full Board will administer the Restated Plan with respect to awards granted to members of the Board. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its duties and authorities to a committee of one or more directors or officers of the Company for awards to certain individuals, within specific guidelines and limitations. However, no delegation of authority is permitted with respect to awards made to individuals who (1) are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (2) are officers of the Company and have been delegated authority to grant or amend awards under the Restated Plan.
EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARDS ARE CRITICAL TO LONG-TERM STOCKHOLDER VALUE CREATION
The table below presents information as of May 1, 2026 about the number of shares that were subject to various outstanding equity awards under the 2015 Plan, the Existing Plan, the 2022 Employee Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Inducement Plan”), the 2023 Employee Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Inducement Plan”), the 2024 Employee Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Inducement Plan”) and the 2025 Inducement Plan, and the shares remaining available for issuance under the Existing Plan, the Restated Plan, and the 2025 Inducement Plan, as well as the effect of the proposed aggregate increase to the share reserve under the Restated Plan. As noted above, we do not maintain any other equity incentive plans, and we no longer grant awards under the 2022 Inducement Plan, the 2023 Inducement Plan, or the 2024 Inducement Plan.
As such, we believe that the adoption of the Restated Plan is essential to our success. A talented, motivated and effective management team and workforce are essential to our continued progress. Equity awards are intended to motivate high levels of performance, align the interests of our directors, employees and consultants with those of our stockholders by giving directors, employees and consultants the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in our company and providing a means of recognizing their contributions to the success of our company. Our Board and management believe that equity awards are necessary to remain competitive in our industry and are essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified employees in an extremely competitive labor market and industry who help our company meet its goals.
As of May 1, 2026, approximately 360 of our 500 employees had received grants of equity awards, 4 of our 8 non-employee directors had received grants of equity awards, and no consultants had received grants of equity awards. We believe we must continue to offer a competitive equity compensation plan in order to attract, retain and motivate the industry-leading talent imperative to our continued growth and success.

Performance awards are included at the maximum number of shares that can be received under the performance awards.
In determining whether to approve the Restated Plan, our Board considered the input of Pay Governance LLC, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and the following:
•The share reserve under the Restated Plan represents an aggregate increase of 7,000,000 shares from the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Existing Plan and the 2025 Inducement Plan, plus any shares that become available for future issuance under the Restated Plan pursuant to its evergreen provision.
•In determining the size of the share reserve under the Restated Plan, our Board considered the number of equity awards granted by our company during the past three calendar years and the 2025 Transition Period. In calendar years 2022, 2023, and 2024 and the 2025 Transition Period, equity awards representing a total of approximately 1,066,940 shares, 1,237,564 shares, 1,478,611 shares, and 493,749 shares, respectively, were awarded under the Existing Plan, the 2022 Inducement Plan, the 2023 Inducement Plan, the 2024 Inducement Plan and the 2025 Inducement Plan, collectively, for an equity burn rate of 6%, 5%, 5% and 2%, respectively (with performance awards counted assuming “maximum” performance for this purpose). This level of equity awards represents a 4-year average burn rate of 5% of common shares outstanding. Equity burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to equity awards awarded during the fiscal year by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the applicable fiscal year.
•We expect the proposed aggregate share reserve under the Restated Plan to provide us with enough shares for awards for one to two years, assuming we continue to grant awards consistent with our current practices and historical usage, as reflected in our historical burn rate, and further dependent on the price of our shares and hiring activity during the next few years, forfeitures of outstanding awards, and noting that future circumstances may require us to change our current equity grant practices. We cannot predict our future equity grant practices, the future price of our shares or future hiring activity with any degree of certainty at this time, each of which, among other factors, and the share reserve under the Restated Plan could last for a shorter or longer time.
•In calendar years 2022, 2023, and 2024 and the 2025 Transition Period, the end of period overhang rate was approximately 16%, 18%, 19% and 23%, respectively. If the Restated Plan is approved, we expect our overhang at the end of fiscal 2026 will be approximately 14% (assuming no terminations or forfeitures of shares and giving effect to shares intended to vest pursuant to their terms in 2026). Overhang is calculated by dividing (1) the sum of the number of shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the applicable period plus shares remaining available for issuance for future awards at the end of the same period by (2) the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the same period.
In light of the factors described above, and the fact that the ability to continue to grant equity compensation is vital to our ability to continue to attract and retain employees in the extremely competitive labor markets in which we compete, our Board has determined that the size of the share reserve under the Restated Plan is reasonable and appropriate at this time. Our Board will not create a subcommittee to evaluate the risk and benefits for issuing shares under the Restated Plan.
2026 Proxy Statement 29 SUMMARY OF THE RESTATED PLAN
The following summary of the material features of the Restated Plan is subject to the full text of the Restated Plan that is contained in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
Effective Date. The Restated Plan will become effective on the date on which it is approved by our stockholders.
Authorized Shares. When the new share request is added to the shares previously authorized under the Existing Plan, the Restated Plan will authorize the issuance of the sum of:
•14,593,054 shares of Common Stock, plus
•52,806 shares that were subject to awards issued pursuant to our 2015 Plan on the original effective date of the Existing Plan that expired or became unexercisable without having been exercised in full, were forfeited to or repurchased by us due to the failure to vest, in each case on or after the original effective date of the Existing Plan that became available for grant or sale under the Restated Plan on or after the original effective date of the Existing Plan prior to the effective date of the Restated Plan, plus up to an additional 66,587 shares that are currently subject to outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan that may become available for issuance under the Restated Plan in this manner in the future.
Shares issued under the Restated Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares purchased on the open market, or treasury shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, the 14,593,054 shares referenced above includes shares subject to awards granted and settled in prior years and is not a reflection of availability for new, future awards following the effective date of the Restated Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in the Restated Plan, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs will be 14,593,054 shares.
If an award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to restricted stock, RSUs, performance units or performance shares, is forfeited to or repurchased by us due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than options or stock appreciation rights the forfeited or repurchased shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Restated Plan (unless the Restated Plan has terminated). For awards of stock appreciation rights, only shares actually issued pursuant to a stock appreciation right will cease to be available under the Restated Plan; all remaining shares under stock appreciation rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Restated Plan (unless the Restated Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Restated Plan under any award will not be returned to the Restated Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Restated Plan. However, if shares issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares or performance units are repurchased by us or are forfeited to us due to the failure to vest, such shares will become available for future grant under the Restated Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholdings related to an award will become available for future grant or sale under the Restated Plan. To the extent an award under the Restated Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the Restated Plan.
Additionally, as noted above if any award issued pursuant to our 2015 Plan that was outstanding as of the original effective date of the Existing Plan expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is forfeited to or repurchased by us due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights the forfeited or repurchased shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Restated Plan (unless the Restated Plan has terminated).
Plan Administration. Our Board or one or more committees appointed by our Board will administer the Restated Plan. In addition, if we determine it is desirable to qualify transactions under the Restated Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or Rule 16b-3, such transactions will be structured with the
2026 Proxy Statement 30 intent that they satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. Subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, the administrator has the power to administer the Restated Plan and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Restated Plan, including the power to determine the fair market value of our Common Stock, select the service providers to whom awards may be granted, determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve forms of award agreements for use under the Restated Plan, determine the terms and conditions of awards (including the exercise price, the time or times at which the awards may be exercised, any vesting acceleration or waiver or forfeiture restrictions and any restriction or limitation regarding any award or the shares relating thereto), construe and interpret the terms of the Restated Plan and awards granted under it, prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the Restated Plan, including creating sub-plans and modify or amend each award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of awards (provided that no option or stock appreciation right will be extended past its original maximum term), and to allow a participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an award. The administrator’s decisions, interpretations and other actions are final and binding on all participants.
The authority to grant or amend awards, or otherwise administer the Restated Plan, may be delegated to a committee consisting of members of the Board or officers of the Company, within specific guidelines and limitations, but an officer cannot be delegated the authority to grant awards to or amend awards held by individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or officers or directors who have been delegated authority to grant or amend awards.
Eligibility. Only employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the Restated Plan. As of May 1, 2026, there were 8 non-employee directors, approximately 500 employees and approximately 40 consultants who would have been eligible for awards under the Restated Plan had it been in effect on such date. The plan administrator determines which persons receive awards. The closing price per share of our Common Stock on May 1, 2026, was $13.82 per share.
Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under the Restated Plan. Stock options give the holder the right to purchase shares of our Common Stock within a specified time at a specified price. Two types of stock options may be granted under the Restated Plan: ISOs, which are subject to special tax treatment as described below, and non-statutory options, or “NSOs.” The exercise price of options granted under the Restated Plan generally must at least be equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, they may exercise their option for the period of time stated in their option agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for twelve months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the option will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. An option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term, which shall not be more than ten years from the grant date. Subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options. Prior to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of an option, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the underlying shares. ISOs will be designed to comply with the provisions of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must expire within a specified period of time following the optionee’s termination of employment. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the Restated Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and the ISO must expire upon the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights may be granted under the Restated Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of our Common Stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may not have a term exceeding ten years. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, they may exercise their stock appreciation right for the period of time stated in their stock appreciation rights agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for twelve months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award
2026 Proxy Statement 31 agreement, the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash or with shares of our Common Stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. A stock appreciation right will not have a term in excess of ten years from the date of grant.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted under the Restated Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our Common Stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to us); provided, however, that the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares; provided that dividends paid with respect to a restricted stock award will be subject to the same vesting restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying award. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to our right of repurchase or forfeiture.
Restricted Stock Units. RSUs may be granted under the Restated Plan. RSUs are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of our Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, the administrator determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including the vesting criteria and the form and timing of payment. The administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned RSUs in the form of cash, in shares of our Common Stock or in some combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any vesting requirements will be deemed satisfied. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of RSUs; provided that dividends credited in respect of an award of RSUs will be subject to the same vesting restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying award. A holder of RSUs has no voting rights unless and until the underlying shares are issued upon settlement of such RSUs.
Performance Units and Performance Shares. Performance units and performance shares may be granted under the Restated Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish performance objectives or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. The administrator may set performance objectives based on the achievement of company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance units shall have an initial dollar value established by the administrator on or prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares or in some combination thereof.
Outside Directors. The Restated Plan provides that all outside directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except for ISOs) under the Restated Plan. The Restated Plan includes a maximum annual limit of $750,000 of equity awards that may be granted to an outside director in any fiscal year, increased to $1,500,000 in connection with the non-employee director’s initial service. For purposes of this limitation, the value of equity awards is based on the grant date fair value (determined in accordance with GAAP). Any equity awards granted to a person for their services as an employee, or for their services as a consultant (or for services in any capacity in addition to the services normally performed by an outside director, including compensation for service in any officer role, such as Executive Chairman), will not count for purposes of the limitation. The maximum limit does not reflect the intended size of any potential compensation or equity awards to our outside
2026 Proxy Statement 32 directors. For purposes of the Restated Plan, an outside director is any member of our Board that is not an employee of Fubo or its affiliates.
Non-transferability of Awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, the Restated Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during their lifetime. If the administrator makes an award transferrable, such award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.
Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Restated Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the Restated Plan or the number, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in the Restated Plan.
Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.
Merger or Change in Control. The Restated Plan provides that in the event of our merger with or into another corporation or entity or a “change in control” (as defined in the Restated Plan), each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, including, without limitation, that (i) awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a participant, that the participant’s awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or change in control; (iii) outstanding awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon consummation of such merger or change in control and, to the extent the administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or change in control; (iv) (A) the termination of an award in exchange for an amount of cash or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights, then such award may be terminated by us without payment) or (B) the replacement of such award with other rights or property selected by the administrator in its sole discretion; (v) with respect only to an award (or portion thereof) that is unvested as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or change in control, the termination of the award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or change in control with such payment to the participant (including no payment) as the administrator determines in its discretion; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The administrator will not be obligated to treat all awards, all awards a participant holds, or all awards of the same type, similarly. In the event that awards (or portion thereof) are not assumed or substituted for in the event of a merger or change in control, the participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, including shares as to which such awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on restricted stock and RSUs will lapse and, with respect to awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, in all cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable award agreement or other written agreement between the participant and us or any of our subsidiaries or parents, as applicable. If an option or stock appreciation right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or change in control, the administrator will notify the participant in writing or electronically that the option or stock appreciation right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the administrator in its sole discretion and the vested option or stock appreciation right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
For awards granted to an outside director, the outside director will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, all restrictions on restricted stock and RSUs will lapse and, for awards with performance-based vesting, unless specifically provided for in the award agreement, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.
Clawback. Awards will be subject to our clawback policy that was adopted pursuant to the NYSE Listing Rules, and any other clawback policy that we are required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national
2026 Proxy Statement 33 securities exchange or association on which our securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws. The administrator also may specify in an award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments or benefits with respect to an award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Our Board may require a participant to forfeit, return or reimburse us all or a portion of the award or shares issued under the award, any amounts paid under the award and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the award in order to comply with such clawback policy or applicable laws.
Repricing Prohibited. Other than pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Plan described above under the headings “Certain Adjustments” and “Merger or Change in Control,” the plan administrator may not without the approval of the Company’s stockholders (1) lower the exercise price of an option or SAR after it is granted or (2) cancel an option or SAR when the exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares in exchange for cash or another award.
Amendment and Termination. The plan administrator may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Restated Plan. However, stockholder approval of any amendment to the Restated Plan will be obtained to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule and for any increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Restated Plan or the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to ISOs under the Restated Plan (other than adjustments in connection with certain corporate reorganizations and other events). The Restated Plan will continue until terminated by the plan administrator. No grants may be made under the Restated Plan following the date of termination, although grants made prior to that date may remain outstanding following the termination of the Restated Plan until their scheduled expiration date. In no event may ISOs be granted under the Restated Plan after the earlier of (1) the tenth anniversary of the date the Board approved the Restated Plan or (2) the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approved the Restated Plan.
Securities Laws. The Restated Plan is intended to conform to all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3. The Restated Plan will be administered, and awards will be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
FEDERAL TAX ASPECTS
The following summary is intended only as a general guide to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Restated Plan. The summary is based on existing U.S. laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that those laws and regulations will not change in the future. The summary does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the tax consequences upon a participant’s death, or the provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or non-U.S. country in which the participant may reside. As a result, tax consequences for any particular participant may vary based on individual circumstances.
Incentive Stock Options. An optionee recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an ISO qualifying under Section 422 of the Code. Optionees who neither dispose of their shares within two (2) years following the date the option was granted nor within one (1) year following the exercise of the option normally will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the sale price and the purchase price of the shares. If an optionee satisfies such holding periods upon a sale of the shares, the Company will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If an optionee disposes of shares within two (2) years after the date of grant or within one (1) year after the date of exercise, or a disqualifying disposition, the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the option exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the optionee upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally should be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.
2026 Proxy Statement 34 The difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date is treated as an adjustment in computing the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax for the year. Special rules may apply with respect to certain subsequent sales of the shares in a disqualifying disposition, certain basis adjustments for purposes of computing the alternative minimum taxable income on a subsequent sale of the shares and certain tax credits which may arise with respect to optionees subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Nonstatutory Stock Options. Options not designated or qualifying as ISOs will be nonstatutory stock options having no special U.S. tax status. An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. Upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income equal to the amount that the fair market value of the shares on such date exceeds the exercise price. If the optionee is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss. No tax deduction is available to the Company with respect to the grant of a nonstatutory stock option or the sale of the stock acquired pursuant to such grant.
Stock Appreciation Rights. In general, no taxable income is reportable when a stock appreciation right is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of any shares of our Common Stock received. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be capital gain or loss.
Restricted Stock Awards. A participant acquiring restricted stock generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to accelerate the ordinary income tax event to the date of acquisition by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service no later than thirty (30) days after the date the shares are acquired. Upon the sale of shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the ordinary income tax event occurs, will be taxed as capital gain or loss.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards. There generally are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of RSUs. A participant who is awarded RSUs generally will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such participant at the end of the applicable vesting period or, if later, the settlement date elected by the administrator or a participant. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of any shares received would be capital gain or loss.
Performance Shares and Performance Unit Awards. A participant generally will recognize no income upon the grant of a performance share or a performance unit award. Upon the settlement of such awards, participants normally will recognize ordinary income in the year of receipt in an amount equal to the cash received and the fair market value of any cash or nonrestricted shares received. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the ordinary income tax event occurs, will be taxed as capital gain or loss.
Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. The Company generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the participant recognizes ordinary income
Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code provides certain requirements for non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements with respect to an individual’s deferral and distribution elections and permissible distribution events. Awards granted under the Restated Plan with a deferral feature will be subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If an award is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award, to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is actually or constructively received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with Section 409A’s
2026 Proxy Statement 35 provisions, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% federal income tax on compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such deferred compensation. Certain states have enacted laws similar to Section 409A which impose additional taxes, interest and penalties on non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. The Company will also have withholding and reporting requirements with respect to such amounts.
Tax Effect for the Company. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the Restated Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option). Special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our chief executive officer and other “covered employees” as determined under Section 162(m) and applicable guidance. Under Section 162(m), the annual compensation paid to any of these specified executives will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000.
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
Other than with respect to the annual equity awards to our non-employee directors as described below under “Director Compensation,” all other future awards under the Restated Plan are subject to the discretion of the plan administrator and the Company is unable to determine the amount of benefits that may be received by participants under the Restated Plan, if approved.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote FOR the approval of the amendment and restatement of the FuboTV Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
2026 Proxy Statement 37 | PROPOSAL 6: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REMOVE ADDITIONAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOVAL OF HULU DESIGNEES | ||
OVERVIEW
We are requesting that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to remove certain voting requirements that apply to the removal of Hulu Designees (the “Proposed Charter Amendment”).
Our Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective on October 29, 2025 in connection with the closing of the business combination, includes a number of provisions related to Hulu’s director designation rights. Among other things, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors may be removed from the Board at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class (the “Removal Required Vote”). Any Hulu Designee, however, may be removed only if Hulu affirmatively votes its then-outstanding shares in favor of such removal, in addition to obtaining the Removal Required Vote (the “Hulu Designee Removal Provision”).
The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to remove the Hulu Designee Removal Provision. The Board believes that the Proposed Charter Amendment is a prudent action to provide clarity to stockholders and more closely align with Section 141(k) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), which governs the removal of directors.
The Board has unanimously adopted, approved and recommended to the Company’s stockholders the approval of the Proposed Charter Amendment. If our stockholders approve this proposal, then Article VII, Section 7.05 of our Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows (with deletions of text indicated by strike-outs):
Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the remainder of this Section 7.05 [Removals and Resignations of Directors], and notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, any director may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, (a) any Hulu Designee may be removed from the Board of Directors, with or without cause, only if Hulu affirmatively votes its then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation in favor of such removal, (b) for the avoidance of doubt, although Hulu’s shares must be voted in favor of the removal of any Hulu Designee for such removal to be effective, such removal shall not be effective unless the requisite vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is obtained in accordance with Section 141(k) of the DGCL and (c) the Corporation shall take all Necessary Action to facilitate the removal of any Hulu Designee from the Board of Directors upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation in accordance with the Bylaws.
If stockholders approve this proposal by the required vote, the Proposed Charter Amendment will become effective upon the filing and effectiveness of a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board currently plans to file the certificate of amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the required approval from our stockholders. All other sections of the Certificate of Incorporation would be maintained in their current form. If our stockholders do not approve the Proposed Charter Amendment, the Proposed Charter Amendment will not become effective, and the Hulu Designee Removal Provision will remain in effect.
2026 Proxy Statement 38 RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends you vote FOR the approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to remove additional voting requirements for removal of Hulu Designees.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine members: David Gandler, Andy Bird, Ignacio Figueras, Jonathan Headley, Daniel Leff, Jim Lygopoulos, Debra OConnell, Cathleen Taff and Justin Warbrooke. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the term of each director expires at the next annual stockholders’ meeting following his or her election, whether such director had been elected by the stockholders or elected by a majority of the Board to fill a vacancy. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, subject to certain exceptions as described further in “—Structure of our Board.”
STRUCTURE OF OUR BOARD
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the size of our Board is set at nine directors, composed of: (i) five directors designated by Hulu, (ii) one independent director who is not employed by Hulu or its affiliates, designated by Hulu (together with (i), the “Hulu Designees”), (iii) two additional independent directors who are not employed by Hulu or its affiliates (the “Unaffiliated Independent Designees”), initially designated by the Company, and (iv) Fubo’s chief executive officer. Andy Bird, Jonathan Headley, Jim Lygopoulos, Debra OConnell, Cathleen Taff and Justin Warbrooke have been designated as Hulu Designees, and Daniel Leff and Ignacio Figueras have been designated as Unaffiliated Independent Designees.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that Hulu will lose its right to designate a majority of the members of the Fubo Board upon the earlier of either (a) Hulu and its affiliates ceasing to own at least 50% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) the date that is 12 months after Hulu’s consummation of a merger, acquisition, business combination or similar transaction which involves a competing digital streaming linear multichannel programming service, subject to certain other criteria set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation (such earlier date, the “Majority Sunset Date”). Thereafter, Hulu will no longer have the right to appoint an independent designee, and Hulu’s designation rights are subject to further step-downs based on the proportion of then-outstanding shares of Common Stock that Hulu and its affiliates hold.
To the extent a vacancy arises from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of an Unaffiliated Independent Designee prior to October 29, 2027, the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Closing Anniversary”), the other Unaffiliated Independent Designee has the right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy, and such vacancy may not be filled by any other person, and, unless the Majority Sunset Date has occurred, such replacement designee must be an individual who is reasonably acceptable to Hulu. However, if, prior to the Closing Anniversary, two vacancies exist at the same time due to the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of each Unaffiliated Independent Designee, such vacancies will be filled by the Board. On or after the Closing Anniversary, any vacancies arising from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of an Unaffiliated Independent Designee will be filled by the Board.
2026 Proxy Statement 41 Hulu has the exclusive right to designate any individual to fill any vacancy in the event that such vacancy is created at any time by the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any Hulu Designee, and such vacancy may not be filled by any other person.
If the size of the Board is increased or decreased without Hulu’s prior written consent, Hulu has the right to designate one or more members of the Board such that the total number of directors on the Board is proportional to the number of Hulu Designees based on Hulu’s appointment rights set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.
We are also party to a Stockholders Agreement with Hulu, dated as of October 29, 2025 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which provides, among other things, that until the first date on which Hulu and its affiliates cease to collectively own at least 50% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, Hulu has agreed to vote its shares of Common Stock (i) in favor of directors that are nominated by the Board in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation, including, until the Closing Anniversary, the initial Unaffiliated Independent Designees, and (ii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any proposal presented at an annual or special meeting, subject to certain exceptions. Hulu has further agreed, until the Closing Anniversary, to take all actions necessary and within its control to cause each initial Unaffiliated Independent Designee (or a replacement of any such initial Unaffiliated Independent Designee who has died, resigned, been disqualified or removed from the Fubo Board) to continue to serve on the Board until the Closing Anniversary.
For further information regarding our transactions with Disney and Hulu, see “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”
CONTROLLED COMPANY EXEMPTION
Upon the closing of the business combination, we became a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listed company standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The rules of the NYSE define a “controlled company” as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. Disney and its subsidiaries, including Hulu, own approximately 70% of the fully-diluted voting power of the Company.
As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect, and have so elected, not to comply with certain listed company requirements of the NYSE, including the requirements that a majority of our Board consists of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the NYSE, that our Board has a governance and nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors and that our Board has a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.
If we cease to be a controlled company and our Class A common stock continues to be listed on the NYSE, we will be required to comply with these corporate governance requirements by the date our status as a controlled company changes or within specified transition periods provided by the NYSE and applicable to certain provisions, as the case may be.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Bird, Figueras, Headley and Leff is an “independent director,” as defined under the rules of the NYSE. In addition, the Board determined that each of Neil Glat, Julie Haddon and Laura Onopchenko was independent while he or she served on our Board. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including that Daniel Leff is affiliated with Luminari Capital, L.P., a stockholder of the Company, and Waverley Capital Partners, LLC, the general partner of Waverley Capital LP, a stockholder of the Company, and that Ignacio Figueras previously served as a consultant for the Company from 2020 to 2022. Our Board of Directors also considered Andy Bird’s prior service at Walt Disney International (a former division of The Walt Disney
2026 Proxy Statement 42 Company) and Jonathan Headley’s prior service at The Walt Disney Company. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending to the Board those candidates to be nominated for election to the Board.
To facilitate the search process for director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit our current directors and executives for the names of potentially qualified candidates or may ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, among other things, reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, conducts candidate interviews, evaluates candidates’ independence from us and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the committee of candidates for election as director.
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider numerous factors, such as character, professional ethics and integrity, judgment, business acumen, proven achievement and competence in one’s field, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, tenure on the Board and skills that are complementary to the Board, an understanding of the Company’s business, an understanding of the responsibilities that are required of a member of the Board and other time commitments, as well as any applicable director designation rights set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board evaluates each individual in the context of the membership of the Board as a whole, with the objective of maintaining a Board that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its mix of backgrounds and experiences in various areas. Although the Board does not have a formal diversity policy with respect to the evaluation of director candidates, in its evaluation of director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider directors’ individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as candidates recommended to the committee from other sources. Stockholders should submit recommendations for director candidates to our Corporate Secretary, at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10104. The recommendation must include the candidate’s name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the Company and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of Company stock. Such recommendations must also include a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate, particularly within the context of the criteria for Board membership. Stockholder recommendations must be received by December 31st of the year prior to the year in which the recommended candidates will be considered for nomination. Following verification of the stockholder status of the person submitting the recommendation and verification that all requirements have been met, all properly submitted recommendations will be promptly brought to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE SELF-EVALUATIONS
Throughout the year, our Board discusses corporate governance practices with management and third-party advisors to assess and implement practices that are optimal for the Company and in the best interest of our stockholders. Based on an evaluation process recommended and overseen by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee pursuant to the committee’s authority set forth in its charter, the Board conducts an annual self-evaluation, including an evaluation of each committee, in order to determine whether the Board and
2026 Proxy Statement 43 its committees are functioning effectively. The results of the annual self-evaluation are reviewed and addressed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and then by the full Board.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Interested parties who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make their concerns known directly to, the Company’s non-management directors may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the care of the Chief Legal Officer at legal@fubo.tv or by mail at the principal executive office of the Company at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10104, who will forward such communications to the appropriate party.
The Chief Legal Officer, in consultation with appropriate directors as necessary, reviews all incoming communications and screens for communications that are solicitations for products or services, relate to matters of a personal nature not relevant for the Company’s stockholders to act on or for the Board to consider or are of a type that render them improper or irrelevant to the functioning of the Board or the Company. If appropriate, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer will route such communications to the appropriate director(s) or, if none is specified, to the Chairperson of the Board. The Company’s Chief Legal Officer may decide in the exercise of his or her judgment whether a response to any communication is necessary.
This communications policy does not apply to communications to independent directors from officers or directors of the Company who are stockholders or to stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
The Board does not have a policy on whether or not the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson should be separate or, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairperson should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Currently, we operate with Mr. Gandler serving as a director and our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Bird serving as our Chairman of the Board. We believe that the separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions is appropriate at this time and suits the talents, expertise and experience that each of Mr. Gandler and Mr. Bird bring to the Company. In addition, we believe that the separation of the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, coupled with independent leadership on each of our Board committees, reinforces the independence of the Board from management, creates an environment that encourages objective oversight of management’s performance and enhances the effectiveness of the Board as a whole. We believe that we, like many U.S. companies, are well-served by a flexible leadership structure. Our Board of Directors will continue to consider whether the positions of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separated or combined at any given time as part of our succession planning process.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Independent Designees shall appoint a lead independent director (“Lead Independent Director”). Currently, Mr. Leff serves as our Lead Independent Director. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chairperson of the Board does not qualify as an independent director, the Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to: calling separate meetings of the independent directors, determining the agenda and serving as chairperson of meetings of independent directors and reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairperson of the Board regarding feedback from executive sessions of non-management directors. Currently, our Chairman of the Board qualifies as an independent director.
Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, legal and compliance, and reputational. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while our Board, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Our Board of Directors focuses on our general risk management strategy and the most significant risks facing us, including risks relating to the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. The Audit Committee primarily oversees the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and internal controls and the Company’s compliance with applicable law, and reviews and discusses with management the Company’s policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including guidelines
2026 Proxy Statement 44 and policies to identify, monitor, and address enterprise risks. As part of the Audit Committee’s oversight, the committee receives periodic updates from management on the Company’s major financial risk exposures and, on a quarterly basis, information and cybersecurity risk exposures, as well as the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks relating to our corporate governance practices and structure. All committees receive regular reports from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company. The Board periodically receives reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions. The Board’s allocation of risk oversight responsibility may change from time to time based on the evolving needs of the Company. Our Board of Directors is also apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of corporate matters and significant transactions. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in the Governance section of the Company’s website at http://ir.fubo.tv. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, that are required to be disclosed by SEC or NYSE rules will be disclosed on our website.
INSIDER TRADING POLICY; ANTI-HEDGING POLICY
Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities by all directors, officers and employees. We believe our Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. It is also our policy to comply with applicable insider trading laws and regulations with respect to transactions in our own securities. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy currently in effect is available in the Governance section of the Company’s website located at http://ir.fubo.tv.
The policy also prohibits such persons from purchasing certain financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities.
ATTENDANCE BY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT MEETINGS
There were 21 meetings of the Board of Directors during fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2025, each director then serving attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.
Currently, we do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders; however, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director is strongly encouraged to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. All of our directors then serving attended our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
During executive sessions of non-management directors, the chairs of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee preside on a rotating basis based on the topics to be discussed. In addition, only the independent directors, without the non-employee directors who are not independent, meet at least once per year in executive sessions. During these executive sessions of the independent directors, the Chairman of our Board presides over the meeting.
2026 Proxy Statement 45 COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
Our Board has established three standing committees—Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance—each of which operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board.
The members of each of the Board committees are set forth in the following chart.

2026 Proxy Statement 50 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | ||
This compensation discussion and analysis (“CD&A”) provides information about the material components of our executive compensation program for our “named executive officers” (“NEOs”) for the period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending September 27, 2025 (the “2025 Transition Period”),1 consisting of the following persons:
•David Gandler, our Chief Executive Officer and Director;
•Edgar Bronfman Jr., our former Executive Chairman;2
•John Janedis, our Chief Financial Officer; and
•Alberto Horihuela Suarez, our Chief Operating Officer.
Specifically, this compensation discussion and analysis provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of our executive compensation program, and each compensation component that we provide. In addition, we explain how and why the Compensation Committee and our Board arrived at specific compensation policies and decisions involving our NEOs during the 2025 Transition Period.
COMPANY OVERVIEW AND 2025 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
2025 represented a year of transformation and a significant milestone in our corporate history. At the start of the year in January 2025, we announced a definitive agreement with Disney to combine the Fubo and Hulu + Live TV businesses, creating a scaled live TV streaming company centered on consumer choice, flexible programming packages and cutting-edge user experiences. In October 2025, we successfully completed this combination, creating the sixth largest Pay TV company in the United States, with approximately 6 million subscribers across North America as of the Closing Date. The combined business offers an expansive content portfolio, including more than 55,000 live sporting events, alongside a broad range of entertainment programming, with Fubo and Hulu + Live TV continuing to operate as distinct consumer brands. Effective as of the Closing Date, we also changed our fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30, with the Company’s first full fiscal year following the Closing Date to end on September 30, 2026.
Following the transaction, Disney holds an approximately 70% ownership interest in the Company. Fubo’s existing management team, led by Co-founder and CEO David Gandler, continues to lead the combined operations. In addition, a newly constituted board of directors with significant operational experience across finance, media, entertainment and sports in global markets has been formed to guide the strategic vision of the Company.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
The following business highlights pertain to Fubo’s standalone operations prior to the business combination. We have provided information on Fubo’s standalone performance against key quantitative financial and operational measures during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which substantially overlaps with the 2025 Transition Period, for additional context on the NEO compensation for the same period, as discussed in this CD&A.
1 On the Closing Date of October 29, 2025, we completed our business combination with Disney’s Hulu + Live TV (as further described in “–Company Overview and 2025 Business Highlights”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Fubo changed its fiscal year to end September 30, with the first full fiscal year following the Closing Date to end on September 30, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”). As a result, this CD&A covers the 2025 Transition Period.
2 Mr. Bronfman, Jr. served as the Company’s Executive Chairman until the Closing Date, at which time he resigned from such role.
2026 Proxy Statement 51 Fubo delivered strong financial and operational results during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, highlighted by strong revenue and subscriber performance and significant improvements in Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. These results reflect the Company’s execution and delivery against its long-term strategic objective of achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability in 2025, as first announced at Fubo’s 2022 Investor Day.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE
Our incentive compensation is designed to link NEO compensation with successful Company performance against key quantitative financial and operational measures that promote long-term stockholder value. For the 2025 Transition Period, performance-based cash bonuses and long-term equity design and payouts for such period were based on achievement of predetermined North America revenue, North America subscribers and Adjusted EBITDA objectives. These were selected by the Compensation Committee, as investors and analysts primarily use these measures to evaluate our performance relative to our competitors. As a result, our executive compensation program closely links to our business strategies, aligns pay with performance, and reflects competitive practices.
RESPONSE TO 2025 SAY-ON-PAY VOTE AND STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Fubo’s Board, Compensation Committee and management value stockholder feedback on our executive compensation programs and practices. We engage with our stockholders on various matters, including business performance and strategy, corporate governance, executive compensation, and environmental and social matters, with participation from Investor Relations, Legal, Finance, Human Resources, executive leadership and members of our Board, as appropriate.
At our 2025 annual meeting, approximately 92% of votes cast supported our say-on-pay proposal, continuing a three-year trend of strong and growing support following approximately 80% support in 2023 and 89% in 2024. The Compensation Committee considers annual say-on-pay results and other stockholder feedback when evaluating our executive compensation program and views the continued high level of support as a positive endorsement of the program.
OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION BEST PRACTICES
We endeavor to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. The following table highlights some of our executive compensation policies and practices, which are structured to drive performance and align our executives’ interests with our stockholders’ long-term interests:

COMPENSATION DETERMINATION PROCESS
ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee develops, reviews and approves each of the elements of our executive compensation program in order to align the program with our business strategy and areas that we believe drive the creation of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee also regularly assesses the effectiveness and competitiveness of our compensation programs, with input from management regarding, among other matters, our annual operating plan, expected financial results, and related risks.
Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews appropriate performance metrics and targets for our performance bonus programs for the year. In addition, in the first quarter of each year, the Compensation
2026 Proxy Statement 53 Committee reviews the performance of each NEO and our performance relative to the quantitative performance objectives previously set by the Compensation Committee for the year under review, and determines final bonus payouts to NEOs. The Compensation Committee also annually reviews and adjusts, as appropriate, annual base salaries for our NEOs and approves, as appropriate, equity awards to our NEOs and certain other eligible employees.
ROLE OF OUR MANAGEMENT
At the Compensation Committee’s direction, management supports the Committee by providing input, data, analysis and recommendations regarding our executive compensation programs and policies, including information about our annual operating plan, expected financial results, related risks and opportunities, talent needs and business objectives. Management also administers compensation programs as directed by the Compensation Committee, evaluates program effectiveness and competitiveness, and recommends changes for Compensation Committee consideration as appropriate to support program objectives.
Our Chief Executive Officer, with support from members of our finance, human resources and legal departments, provides input to the Compensation Committee in connection with its annual review of NEO compensation, other than with respect to his own compensation. Members of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, also generally attend Compensation Committee meetings. The Compensation Committee also meets in executive sessions without management as needed from time to time. Any deliberations or decisions regarding our Chief Executive Officer’s or other NEO’s compensation are made without that executive present.
ROLE OF COMPENSATION CONSULTANT
The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain the services of third-party compensation consultants and other outside advisors to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms.
Consistent with recent years, the Compensation Committee retained Aon, an independent third-party compensation consulting firm, to advise on executive and director compensation during the 2025 Transition Period. Following the closing of the business combination, in January 2026, the Compensation Committee retained Pay Governance, an independent third-party compensation consulting firm, to advise on executive and director compensation for fiscal 2026.
Under these engagements, the consultants assist the Compensation Committee’s development and evaluation of compensation policies and practices and the Compensation Committee’s determinations of compensation awards through various services, including providing third-party market data and other information, analyses and advice on compensation matters, development of a compensation peer group, and advice and expertise on proposed executive compensation awards and plan designs. The Compensation Committee considers input and advice from the consultants in making decisions on compensation matters, along with information and analyses it receives from management and its own judgment and experience.
The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Aon and Pay Governance pursuant to SEC and New York Stock Exchange rules and concluded that no conflict of interest existed that would have prevented each of the consultants from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee during the periods of their respective engagements or, with respect to Pay Governance, currently. Aon did not provide any other services to us during the 2025 Transition Period beyond their engagement as an advisor to the Compensation Committee on director and executive compensation matters.
PEER GROUP AND COMPETITIVE POSITIONING
The Compensation Committee reviews our peer group annually to consider changes in market capitalization, revenue and other factors, including acquisitions or divestitures, and revises the companies included in the peer group accordingly. Historically, our Compensation Committee has reviewed the comparable company information in setting executive compensation levels and determining the various components of executive compensation but has not set executive cash or total target compensation at any specified level relative to the peer group. Rather, the Compensation Committee uses peer data as one reference point and also considers its
2026 Proxy Statement 54 own judgment and experience, stockholder feedback and the varying roles and responsibilities of each executive in setting compensation levels and making compensation decisions.
2025 Transition Period Peer Group
For the 2025 Transition Period, the Compensation Committee, working with Aon, determined to retain the Company’s existing peer group, which was first established in December 2022, for use as a reference when determining executive and director compensation, including base salaries, bonus awards and equity awards, as applicable. In light of the pending business combination, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to continue using the existing peer group during the 2025 Transition Period and to revisit the peer group following the Closing Date.
The peer group was originally selected in 2022 based on industry and business model comparability, including companies in the interactive media and services, technology, media and entertainment sectors, as well as financial and operational size measures, including market capitalization, revenue and headcount generally within 0.3x to 3.0x of Fubo’s corresponding metrics at the time the peer group was established. The peer group was not selected based on executive compensation levels.
This peer group for the 2025 Transition Period consisted of the following companies:
AMC Global Media Bumble Cable One Cumulus Media Dropbox IAC | Lionsgate Studios Peloton Interactive Roku Shutterstock Sirius XM Holdings Spotify Technology | The New York Times Company The Trade Desk, Inc. Vimeo WideOpenWest | ||||||
Fiscal 2026 Peer Group
Following the business combination, Fubo’s scale and annual revenues increased significantly. As a result, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Pay Governance, conducted a comprehensive review of the Company’s compensation peer group for use in connection with fiscal 2026 compensation discussions and decisions.
Pay Governance evaluated potential peers using both quantitative and qualitative factors, including industry, revenue, market capitalization, business model, and talent competition considerations. This review included an independent analysis of companies in relevant industries, including media and entertainment, telecommunications, software and services, and media- or consumer-focused technology, with revenue generally within 0.3x to 3.0x of Fubo’s revenue and market capitalization considered as a secondary factor, in each case as measured in early 2026 when the peer group was identified.
In developing the recommended peer group, Pay Governance focused on companies with business characteristics relevant to Fubo, including digital content distribution or adjacent content businesses, business-to-consumer models and subscription-based revenue models, and also considered key streaming, content distribution and talent competitors. Pay Governance also reviewed the Company’s legacy compensation peer group, companies identified by management and members of the Board as potential peers, proxy advisor peer groups, peer-of-peer data and companies that name Fubo as a peer. The peer group was not selected based on executive compensation levels.
Based on this review, in April 2026, the Compensation Committee approved the following compensation peer group for use as a reference point in fiscal 2026 compensation discussions and decisions.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
We recognize that the ability to excel depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill and teamwork of our employees, including our NEOs. To this end, the key objectives of our executive compensation program are:
•To attract, engage and retain an executive team who will provide leadership for our future success by providing competitive total pay opportunities.
•To establish a direct link between our business results, individual executive performance and total executive compensation.
•To align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS AND DECISIONS FOR THE 2025 TRANSITION PERIOD
The following describes each component of our executive compensation program during the 2025 Transition Period, the rationale for each, and how compensation amounts were determined.
BASE SALARIES
In general, base salaries for our NEOs are initially established through arm’s length negotiation at the time the executive is hired, taking into account such executive’s qualifications, experience and prior salary. Base salaries of our NEOs are approved and reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee and adjustments to base salaries are based on the scope of an executive’s responsibilities, individual contribution, prior experience and sustained performance. Decisions regarding salary increases may include consideration of an NEO’s current salary, equity ownership, total compensation, and the amounts paid to an executive officer’s peers inside our company by conducting an internal analysis. The base salaries of the NEOs are also evaluated for competitiveness by considering, as a reference point, information with respect to comparable positions at companies based on market surveys and our peer group. Base salaries are also reviewed in the case of promotions or other significant changes in responsibility. This strategy is consistent with our intent of offering compensation that is cost-effective, competitive and contingent on the achievement of performance objectives.
During the 2025 Transition Period, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of Messrs. Gandler, Janedis and Horihuela, taking into account individual performance, role and responsibilities, and market data of comparable companies in our peer group. Following this review, the Compensation Committee approved 5% merit-based salary increases as provided in the table below. Mr. Bronfman did not receive a base salary during the 2025 Transition Period and instead received a cash retainer fee for his service as our Executive Chairman, in accordance with our director compensation policy, as further described below under “Director Compensation,” and a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award, as described below.
Named Executive Officer | 2025 Base Salary | 2024 Base Salary | |||||||||
David Gandler | $ | 1,575,000 | $1,500,000 | ||||||||
John Janedis | $ | 573,195 | $545,900 | ||||||||
Alberto Horihuela Suarez | $ | 578,603 | $551,050 | ||||||||
2026 Proxy Statement 56 Consistent with prior years, the adjustment to Mr. Gandler’s base salary was effective January 1, 2025 and the adjustments to the base salaries of Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela were effective July 1, 2025. The actual base salaries paid to all of our NEOs for the 2025 Transition Period are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.
PERFORMANCE BONUSES
For the 2025 calendar year (representing Fubo’s fiscal year prior to the closing of the business combination), the Compensation Committee established a formal annual cash incentive program (the “2025 Bonus Program”) for our NEOs (excluding our former Executive Chairman who was not bonus-eligible). The 2025 Bonus Program was designed to link the incentive compensation of our NEOs with the Company’s performance across our key financial and operational objectives. Each NEO’s annual bonus was based 100% upon the achievement of pre-established, quantitative financial and operational metrics.
Target bonuses are set as a percentage of the executive’s base salary and are generally paid out in the first quarter of the following year. The target bonus for Mr. Gandler remained unchanged at 120% for 2025, and the target bonuses for each of Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela were increased from 75% to 85% for 2025 based on the Compensation Committee’s review of comparable company information to more closely align target total cash compensation for the executives to market competitive levels.
All final bonus payments to our NEOs are determined by our Compensation Committee or the Board. The actual bonuses awarded, if any, may be more or less than the target, depending on individual performance and the achievement of corporate objectives and may also vary based on other factors at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under our 2025 Bonus Program, the maximum bonus payable to a NEO was 130% of his target bonus.
CORPORATE PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PERFORMANCE LEVELS
Performance Measures. Consistent with the 2024 program, the Compensation Committee identified North America revenue, North America subscribers and Adjusted EBITDA as the key measures that promote the creation of long-term stockholder value. Accordingly, these same three measures (weighted 1/3 each) were selected as the performance metrics for the 2025 Bonus Program. The Board selected these three measures, with equal weighting, for the annual bonus plan to focus our executive officers on the key critical strategic priorities of growing North America subscribers and North America revenue (subscription and advertising) while emphasizing profitability. The Compensation Committee believes the performance metrics selected are critical elements to achieving our key strategic goals and are strongly aligned with stockholders’ interests.
Performance Levels and Payout Levels. The Compensation Committee set goals for each 2025 performance measure at levels it considered rigorous and challenging, based in part on its evaluation of relevant risks and opportunities. At the time the goals were established, achievement of target annual cash incentive opportunities was not assured and required strong execution by our executive officers and other employees. In setting these goals, the Compensation Committee reviewed the relevant financial measures in our annual operating plan and considered factors such as performance relative to prior years and execution risk.
The Compensation Committee established threshold and maximum performance levels at 80% and 120% of target for North America revenue and North America subscribers, and 50% and 150% of target for Adjusted EBITDA. No payout is earned for performance below threshold. Target performance results in a 100% payout for the applicable metric, while maximum performance results in a 120% payout for North America revenue and North America subscribers and a 150% payout for Adjusted EBITDA. Payouts for performance between threshold and target, and between target and maximum, are determined using straight-line interpolation.
The table below provides additional details regarding the threshold, target and maximum performance objectives for the 2025 calendar year:

Attainment. In connection with the business combination, annual cash incentive program participants, including our NEOs, were eligible to receive a bonus for the portion of 2025 that elapsed prior to the Closing Date of the business combination on October 29, 2025 (the “Pre-Closing Period”), based on the Company’s projected annual performance against the performance metrics established for calendar year 2025 set forth above. The portion of the bonus for the remainder of calendar year 2025 following the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Period”) was to be determined based on actual performance relative to metrics established for such period.
On the Closing Date, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s performance against the 2025 Bonus Plan objectives, including North America revenue, North America subscribers and Adjusted EBITDA. Based on the Company’s actual performance through the Closing Date and projected performance against those metrics for the two remaining months of calendar 2025, the Compensation Committee approved an achievement level of 116%. Given various factors, including the Company’s strong performance across these key financial and operational metrics, the timing of the Closing Date approximately ten months into the twelve-month performance period, and consideration of the level of certainty and probability of achievement of the performance metrics for remainder of the calendar year, the 116% achievement and payout level was applied to annual bonuses for 2025, including both the Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Periods.
The table below provides additional details about the final annual payouts under our 2025 Bonus Program (which was based on the full calendar year as it was established prior to the change in our fiscal year) as well as the portion of the 2025 bonuses that were attributable to the 2025 Transition Period based on the portion of 2025 that elapsed during such period.

The portion of the annual performance bonuses paid to our NEOs for 2025 attributable to the 2025 Transition Period (representing approximately 75% of the bonuses earned for calendar year 2025) are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.
LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVES
We maintain the FuboTV Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides our employees (including the NEOs) and other eligible service providers the opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of our business and incentivizes them to work towards the long-term performance goals of the company. We believe that such awards function as a compelling incentive and retention tool.
The goals of our long-term, equity-based incentive awards are to align the interests of our NEOs and other employees, non-employee directors and consultants with the interests of our stockholders. Our equity-based incentives also encourage the retention of our NEOs through the vesting period of the awards. In determining the size of the long-term equity incentives to be awarded to our NEOs, we take into account a number of internal factors, such as the relative job scope, the value of existing long-term incentive awards, individual performance history, prior contributions to us and the size of prior grants, as well as a market review and analysis of comparable company data in our peer group. We have had no program, plan or practice pertaining to the timing of equity awards to our NEOs coinciding with the release of material non-public information.
We use equity awards to compensate our NEOs both in the form of initial grants in connection with the commencement of employment and annual grants. Historically, annual grants of equity awards to our NEOs have typically been approved by the Compensation Committee during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, although Mr. Gandler’s annual grants were generally granted during the first half of each calendar year. While we intend that the majority of stock awards to our employees be made pursuant to initial grants or our annual grant program, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to make equity awards to employees at other times, including in connection with the promotion of an employee, to reward an employee, for retention purposes or for other circumstances recommended by management or the Compensation Committee.
EQUITY VEHICLES
Equity awards to our NEOs generally consist of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs, or PRSUs. We use a combination of these components to align executive performance with long-term stockholder interests, minimize the cost of equity awards, and associated dilution, to the Company and to provide competitive compensation and to attract and retain executive talent.
•Time-based RSUs are an effective retention tool because they maintain value even in cases where the stock price is trading lower than the initial grant price. Our time-based RSUs granted to our employees generally vest over four years, but certain time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Gandler and Mr. Bronfman vest over three years.
•Performance-based RSUs share the same benefits as time-based RSUs, with the additional alignment of value delivered to our executives with achievement of performance objectives intended to align the interests of our executives with our stockholders.
2026 Proxy Statement 59 From time to time, our Compensation Committee may determine that a vesting schedule or equity type different than indicated above is appropriate.
The equity awards granted to our NEOs during the 2025 Transition Period are described below.
2025 TRANSITION PERIOD EQUITY AWARDS
The Compensation Committee has generally determined the value of each equity grant to our NEOs using a holistic evaluation that takes into account competitive market data of peer companies, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer based on his evaluation of their individual performance (except with respect to his own performance), the extent to which the executive officer is currently vested in his or her stock awards, scope and criticality of the executive’s role, parity in targets among executives in roles of a given level and the available share reserve under our equity plans. Based upon these factors, the Compensation Committee determines the size of the long-term equity incentives at levels it considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for reward predicated on the creation of long-term stockholder value.
2025 Transition Period Equity Awards to Chief Executive Officer
Our Board, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, granted Mr. Gandler RSUs in January 2025 and PRSUs in June 2025 pursuant to the 2020 Plan with a target long-term incentive award value of $4 million. 50% of Mr. Gandler’s target long-term incentive award was granted in the form of PRSUs described below and 50% was granted in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs and PRSUs subject to the awards was calculated from such target value utilizing the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the three month period preceding January 1, 2025, the grant date of the RSUs. While the number of PRSUs to be granted to Mr. Gandler was set on such date, such awards were granted in June 2025 to allow the Compensation Committee time to evaluate the appropriate PRSU design for such awards.
In designing the PRSU award, the Compensation Committee determined that tying the vesting of the PRSUs to three stock price hurdles, coupled with a service requirement through the third anniversary of the grant date, provided Mr. Gandler with meaningful incentives to increase the stock price and align his interests with long-term value creation.
Specifically, in January 2025, the Board granted Mr. Gandler an award of RSUs covering 108,733 shares of our Common Stock, which RSUs vest in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date (January 1, 2025), subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued service with us through each such vesting date.
In addition, in June 2025, the Board granted Mr. Gandler an award of PRSUs (the “Gandler 2025 PRSU Award”) covering 108,732 shares of our Common Stock (which represented the “maximum” number of shares eligible to vest), which was divided into three equal tranches, each of which was eligible to vest upon the attainment of a stock price hurdle over 30 consecutive trading days: $72; $96; and $120. The Compensation Committee set the stock price hurdles at levels that it considered rigorous and challenging, such that the attainment was not assured at the time they were set. The stock price hurdles were to be measured over four one-year performance periods beginning on the grant date. Any PRSUs that became eligible to vest based on achievement of the stock price hurdles during the first three annual performance periods were scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and any PRSUs that became eligible to vest based on achievement of the stock price hurdles during the final annual performance period were scheduled to vest on the date of such achievement, subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued employment through such date.
Upon the closing of the business combination, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, the performance conditions applicable to the Gandler 2025 PRSU Award were deemed satisfied. As a result, all PRSUs subject to the Gandler 2025 PRSU Award are eligible to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued service through such date and in accordance with the terms of such award.
2025 Transition Period Equity Awards to Mr. Bronfman
In consideration of his services as our Executive Chairman, in January 2025, Mr. Bronfman was granted a time-based RSU award covering 108,733 shares of our Common Stock with target long-term incentive award value
2026 Proxy Statement 60 at $2 million. Mr. Bronfman’s RSU award was subject to vesting in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date (January 1, 2025), subject to Mr. Bronfman’s continued service with us through each such vesting date. Mr. Bronfman vested in the RSUs upon the closing of the business combination and his cessation of service as our Executive Chairman in accordance with the terms of such award.
Messrs. Horihuela and Janedis were not granted equity awards during the 2025 Transition Period.
OUTCOMES FOR EXECUTIVE EQUITY AWARDS TIED TO 2025 PERFORMANCE
2024 PRSUs Granted to Mr. Gandler
In April 2024, pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Board granted Mr. Gandler an award of PRSUs (the “Gandler 2024 PRSU Award”) covering 154,321 shares of our Common Stock at “target” performance level (and up to 231,481 shares at “maximum” performance level), which were to become eligible to vest upon the attainment of annual performance objectives over three one-year performance periods (2024, 2025 and 2026 calendar years), subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued employment through the vesting date of February 20, 2027. The number of PRSUs eligible to vest could vary from 0% to 150%. For 2024 and 2025, the performance metrics and corresponding objectives for the Gandler 2024 PRSU Award were the same as those established for purposes of the Company’s annual cash incentive program for the applicable year (for 2025, see discussion above under the heading “—Performance Bonuses”).
Based on the 128% achievement level for 2024, and the deemed 100% achievement level for 2025 and 2026, upon the closing of the business combination, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Gandler became eligible to vest in a total of 168,590 of the PRSUs (representing actual performance for 2024 and target performance for 2025 and 2026), which PRSUs remain subject to time-based vesting through February 20, 2027.
2024 PRSUs Granted to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela
In November 2024, the Compensation Committee granted awards of PRSUs to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela covering 24,995 shares each of our Common Stock at “target” performance level (the “Other NEO 2024 PRSUs”). For purposes of these awards, “target” performance is the maximum possible achievement.
The Other NEO 2024 PRSUs granted to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela were scheduled to vest upon the attainment of annual performance objectives over four one-year performance periods (2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 calendar years). Any PRSUs that became eligible to vest based on performance relative to the annual performance objectives were scheduled to vest on February 20, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, respectively, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the applicable certification date. The number of PRSUs eligible to vest could vary from 0% to 100%.
For 2025, the performance metrics and corresponding objectives for the Other NEO 2024 PRSUs were the same as those established for purposes of the 2025 Bonus Program (see discussion above under the heading “—Performance Bonuses”).
Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela became eligible to vest in all of the Other NEO 2024 PRSUs in accordance with the terms of such awards, which PRSUs remain subject to time-based vesting through February 20, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
2026 Proxy Statement 61 2023 PRSUs Granted to Mr. Gandler Tied to 2025 Performance
In May 2023, the Board granted Mr. Gandler an award of PRSUs (the “Gandler 2023 PRSU Award”) covering 60,861 shares of our Common Stock at “target” performance level (and up to 91,292 shares at “maximum” performance level), which become eligible to vest upon the attainment of annual performance objectives over three one-year performance periods (2023, 2024 and 2025 calendar years), subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued employment through the vesting date of February 20, 2026. The number of PRSUs eligible to vest could have varied from 0% to 150%. For the 2023 performance period and 2024 performance period, the Compensation Committee set Adjusted EBITDA goals (weighted 50%), North America revenue goals (weighted 25%), and NA subscriber goals (weighted 25%) as the annual performance objectives. For 2025, the performance metrics and corresponding objectives for the Gandler 2023 PRSU Award were the same as those established for purposes of the 2025 Bonus Program (see discussion above under the heading “—Performance Bonuses”).
Based on the 135% achievement level for 2023, the 128% achievement level for 2024, and the deemed 100% achievement level for 2025, upon the closing of the business combination, Mr. Gandler became eligible to vest in a total of 73,600 PRSUs (based on actual performance for 2023 and 2024 and target performance for 2025), which PRSUs vested on February 20, 2026.
2021 and 2023 PRSUs Granted to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela Tied to 2025 Performance
Each of Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela held outstanding PRSUs originally granted in 2021 or 2023 which were eligible to vest based on 2025 performance. For purposes of these awards, “target” performance was the maximum possible achievement. For 2025, in March 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance metrics for these PRSUs would be the same as the 2025 performance goals set forth purposes of the Other NEO 2024 PRSUs that were eligible to vest based on 2025 performance goals.
These PRSUs were scheduled to vest on the date on which the Company’s performance for the 2025 performance year was certified, which was scheduled to occur on or before February 20, 2026), subject to continued employment through such date.
Upon the closing of the business combination, Mr. Janedis became eligible to vest in 15,818 PRSUs granted in 2023 and Mr. Horihuela was eligible to vest in a total of 95,000 of his PRSUs granted in 2021 and 15,818 of his PRSUs granted in 2023, which PRSUs vested on February 20, 2026.
ACCELERATED VESTING OF EQUITY AWARDS
The equity awards granted to our NEOs are subject to accelerated vesting under the award agreements and the terms of Mr. Gandler’s employment agreement and our Executive Severance Plan, as described below under “Post Termination and Change in Control Benefits” and “—Employment Agreements.”
RETENTION AWARDS
On January 5, 2025, the Board approved a retention bonus program with an aggregate value of $20,500,000 (“Retention Bonus Program”) to promote retention and incentivize efforts to consummate the business combination, pursuant to which each of the NEOs, along with certain other key employees, were eligible to participate. Each award under the Retention Bonus Program was delivered, as to 25% of the value of the award, in cash upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, and as to the remaining 75% of the value of the award, in the form of RSUs (“Retention RSUs”) granted on the closing date. The Retention RSUs vest, as to one-third of the underlying RSUs on the first anniversary of closing date, and as to the remaining two-thirds of the underlying RSUs on the second anniversary of the closing date, in each case, subject to the individual’s continuing service through the applicable vesting date. In the event of an individual’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason prior to the closing date or prior to the grant of the “Retention RSUs,” the individual was entitled to receive the cash retention award and fully vested Retention RSUs, on or as soon as practicable following the closing date, subject to the individual’s execution of a general release of claims. In the event of an individual’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason following the grant date of the Retention RSUs (but prior to the final vesting date) the Retention RSUs will become fully vested, subject to the individual’s execution of a general release of claims.
2026 Proxy Statement 62 Mr. Bronfman received his full award upon the closing of the business combination and his cessation of service as our Executive Chairman in accordance with the terms of the Retention Bonus Program. As a result, Mr. Bronfman’s Retention RSUs were fully vested on the date of grant.
The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of the awards allocated by the Board under the Retention Bonus Program to each of our NEOs (inclusive of both the cash and equity components). The cash amounts were paid to each NEO at the time of the closing of the business combination and the Retention RSUs reflected in the table below were granted on the Closing Date. The number of Retention RSUs was determined by dividing the target equity value by $45.48, the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 trading days preceding the Closing Date.
Named Executive Officer | Retention Award ($) | Retention Award Paid in Cash ($) | Number of Retention RSUs Awarded at Closing (#) | ||||||||
| David Gandler | 5,500,000 | 1,375,000 | 90,699 | ||||||||
| Edgar Bronfman Jr. | 1,500,000 | 375,000 | 24,736 | ||||||||
| John Janedis | 2,000,000 | 500,000 | 32,981 | ||||||||
| Alberto Horihuela Suarez | 4,500,000 | 1,125,000 | 74,208 | ||||||||
HEALTH, WELFARE AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The establishment of competitive benefit packages for our employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel.
HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS. Our NEOs who are employees are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, life insurance plans and commuter benefit plan, in each case on generally the same basis as all of our other employees. We provide a 401(k) plan to our employees as discussed in the section below entitled “Retirement Savings.” We also pay the premiums for term life insurance and disability insurance for all of our employees, including our NEOs. Our Board of Directors may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified benefit plans in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.
We generally do not provide other perquisites or personal benefits to our NEOs, except in limited circumstances. During 2025, due to the complex nature of the business combination, the Board determined to reimburse Mr. Bronfman for legal fees incurred by him with respect to personal matters in connection with the business combination. These reimbursements totaled $75,000 for the 2025 Transition Period.
We also reimbursed our other executive officers for legal fees incurred by them with respect to personal matters in connection with the business combination. These reimbursements totaled $400,000 for the NEOs for the 2025 Transition Period.
RETIREMENT SAVINGS. We maintain a defined contribution employee retirement plan, or 401(k) plan, for our employees. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same basis as our other employees. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) plan provides that each participant may make pre-tax deferrals from his or her compensation up to the statutory limit, which was $23,500 for calendar year 2025, and other testing limits. Participants that are 50 years or older can also make “catch-up” contributions, which in calendar year 2025 was up to an additional $7,500 above the statutory limit. We provide a matching contribution under our 401(k) plan of up to $3,000 per eligible participant. Participant contributions are held and invested, pursuant to the participant’s instructions, by the plan’s trustee.
POST TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS
We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gandler. We also maintain the Executive Severance Plan in which our executives, including Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela participate. Each of these arrangements provide for certain severance benefits in the event the executive’s employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated, including in connection with a change in control. Such severance benefits are intended and
2026 Proxy Statement 63 designed to alleviate the financial impact of an involuntary termination and maintain a stable work environment through salary continuation and equity award vesting acceleration. We provide severance benefits because they are essential to help us fulfill our objective of attracting and retaining key managerial talent. While these arrangements form an integral part of the total compensation provided to these individuals and are considered by the Compensation Committee when determining executive officer compensation, the decision to offer these benefits did not influence the Compensation Committee’s determinations concerning other direct compensation or benefit levels.
During 2025, in connection with the business combination, we also implemented the Retention Bonus Program, which provides for compensation upon a change in control, including in the event the executive’s employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated, including in connection with a change in control.
The Compensation Committee has determined that such arrangements offer protection that is competitive within our industry and for our company size and are designed to attract highly qualified individuals and maintain their employment with us. In determining the severance benefits payable pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan, the Compensation Committee considered what level of severance benefits would be sufficient to retain our current executive team and to recruit talented executives in the future, which determination was based in part on input from management and our board of directors. For a description of the employment agreement with Mr. Gandler, see “—Employment Agreements—David Gandler” below. For a description of the Executive Severance Plan, see “—Executive Severance Plan” below.
In addition, the equity awards granted to our NEOs contain accelerated vesting provisions upon an involuntary or constructive termination, death or disability and/or a change in control. In the event of a change in control where the acquirer does not assume awards granted under our equity incentive plans, awards issued under these plans shall be subject to accelerated vesting such that 100% of the awards will become vested and exercisable or payable, as applicable, with performance goals deemed achieved at 100% of target levels.
ACCELERATION OF TIME-BASED AWARDS
With respect to the time-based stock options and RSUs granted to Mr. Gandler, such awards will vest in the event of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason as provided under the Gandler Employment Agreement, as described below under “—Employment Agreements—David Gandler.” With respect to the time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Bronfman, such awards were eligible to vest in the event of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason as provided under the applicable award agreement. With respect to the time-based stock options and RSUs granted to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela, such awards will vest in the event of the executive’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason within 24 months following a change in control as provided under the Executive Severance Plan, as described below under “—Executive Severance Plan.”
ACCELERATION OF PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK OPTIONS
With respect to the performance-based stock options held by Mr. Gandler, if a change in control occurred or Mr. Gandler’s employment was terminated without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case on or prior to December 31, 2025, all of the performance-based stock options held by Mr. Gandler would remain eligible to vest on February 20, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason), provided Mr. Gandler continued to provide services through such date. If the termination occurred on or after January 1, 2026, a number of unvested performance-based stock options, determined based on actual performance during the performance period, would have vested as of the date on which performance was certified. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Gandler became eligible to vest in all of the performance-based stock options, which vested on February 20, 2026, in accordance with their terms.
With respect to the outstanding performance-based stock options held by Mr. Bronfman, in the event Mr. Bronfman’s services with Fubo were terminated prior to the consummation of a change in control (i) by us without cause, (ii) by Mr. Bronfman following our material breach of any agreement between us and Mr. Bronfman or (iii) due to Mr. Bronfman’s death or disability, Mr. Bronfman would have vested in any portion of the options for which the stock price target had been attained and would have remained eligible to vest in any other portion of the option if and when the applicable stock price target is attained prior to the expiration of the
2026 Proxy Statement 64 performance-based stock options. In addition, all of the performance-based stock options vested upon a change in control. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Bronfman vested in all of the performance-based stock options in accordance with their terms.
ACCELERATION OF PRSUs
With respect to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Gandler in 2025, if a change in control event occurred, or in the event of Mr. Gandler’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, all of the outstanding PRSUs that had not yet vested would vest on the later of (1) the third anniversary of the grant date or (2) the date of the change in control, subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued employment through such date. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Gandler became eligible to vest in all of the PRSUs granted in 2025, which PRSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Gandler’s continued services through such date as described above.
With respect to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Gandler in 2023 and 2024, if a change in control event occurred, or in the event of Mr. Gandler’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case on or prior to the last day of the final performance period, he would remain eligible to vest in any unvested PRSUs (based on actual performance for any completed performance period and target performance for an incomplete performance period) on February 20, 2026 (for the awards granted in 2023) or February 20, 2027 (for the awards granted in 2024) (or, if earlier, the date of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason), provided he continues to provide services through such date. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Gandler became eligible to vest in 73,600 of the PRSUs granted in 2023 and 168,590 of the PRSUs granted in 2024 based on the foregoing provisions. The resulting PRSUs granted in 2023 vested on February 20, 2026, and the resulting PRSUs granted in 2024 will vest on February 20, 2027, subject to his continued services through such date.
With respect to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Janedis during 2023, if a change in control occurred on or prior to December 31, 2025, all of the unvested PRSUs (measured at target performance) would be eligible to vest on February 20, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of the executive’s involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control), provided he continued to provide services through such date. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Janedis became eligible to vest all of the PRSUs, which PRSUs vested on February 20, 2026.
With respect to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Horihuela during 2023, if a change in control occurred on or prior to December 31, 2025, he would remain eligible to vest in any unvested PRSUs (based on actual performance for any completed performance period and target performance for an incomplete performance period) on February 20, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control), provided he continued to provide services through such date. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Horihuela became eligible to vest in all of the PRSUs granted in 2023, which PRSUs vested on February 20, 2026.
In November 2023, the Board amended the PRSUs previously awarded to Mr. Horihuela in 2021 (the “Amended Horihuela PRSUs”) to generally align the performance targets with the Amended Gandler Performance Options based on 2025 performance. With respect to the Amended Horihuela PRSUs, if a change in control event or his termination without cause or resignation for good reason occurred on or prior to December 31, 2025, he would remain eligible to vest in the target PRSUs on February 20, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason), provided he continued to provide services through such date. If his termination occurred on or after January 1, 2026, a number of unvested PRSUs, determined based on actual performance during the performance period, would have vested on date performance is certified. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Mr. Horihuela became eligible to vest in all of the Amended Horihuela PRSUs, which PRSUs vested on February 20, 2026.
2026 Proxy Statement 65 With respect to the PRSUs granted to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela during 2024, if a change in control occurred on or prior to the last day of the final annual performance period, the executive would remain eligible to vest in any unvested PRSUs (based on actual performance for any completed performance period and target performance for an incomplete performance period) on the last day of the original performance period applicable to the award (or, if earlier, the date of the executive officer’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason), as long as the executive continues to provide services to the Company through the applicable vesting date. Upon the closing of the business combination in October 2025, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan, Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela each became eligible to vest in 24,992 of the PRSUs granted in 2024, which PRSUs will remain subject to time-based vesting through February 20, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
For further information about the accelerated vesting provisions applicable to our NEOs’ outstanding equity awards, see “—Employment Agreements,” “—Executive Severance Plan” and “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.
PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS IN FUBO SECURITIES
Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents and other service providers of the Company, and any entities which such persons control. The policy prohibits such persons from purchasing certain financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities.
CLAWBACK POLICY
We have adopted a compensation recovery policy as required by Rule 10D-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the corresponding listing standards of the NYSE. This policy provides for the mandatory recovery (subject to limited exceptions) from current and former officers, and discretionary recovery, for other senior executives selected to participate, of incentive-based compensation that was erroneously received during the three years preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. Covered restatements include both a restatement to correct an error that is material to previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received over the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial measure.
EQUITY GRANT PRACTICES
We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In addition, we do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such awards. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the Compensation Committee has historically granted such annual awards to employees other than our Chief Executive Officer in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Awards to newly-hired employees and awards in the case of promotions or other special circumstances are made on an ongoing basis. Historically, awards to our Chief Executive Officer were generally made in the first half of each calendar year. During the 2025 Transition Period, we did not grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option‐like instruments to our NEOs .
2026 Proxy Statement 66 TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee and our board of directors have considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code on the compensation paid to our executive officers. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year for “covered employees.” While we consider the tax deductibility of each element of executive compensation as a factor in our overall compensation program, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion to approve compensation that may not qualify for the compensation deduction if, considering all applicable circumstances, it would be in our best interest for such compensation to be paid without regard to whether it may be tax deductible.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under FASB ASC 718, we are required to estimate the grant date “fair value” for each grant of an equity award using various assumptions. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their awards. ASC 718 also requires us to recognize the compensation cost of stock-based awards in our income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award.
RISK ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION PROGRAM
In May 2026, management assessed our compensation program for the purpose of reviewing and considering any risks presented by our compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. As part of that assessment, management reviewed the primary elements of our compensation program, including base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. Management’s risk assessment included a review of the overall design of each primary element of our compensation program, and an analysis of the various design features, controls and approval rights in place with respect to compensation paid to management and other employees that mitigate potential risks to us that could arise from our compensation program. Following the assessment, management determined that our compensation policies and practices did not create risks that were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and reported the results of the assessment to our Compensation Committee.

(1)Represents actual base salaries paid to Messrs. Gandler, Janedis and Horihuela and cash retainer fees paid to Mr. Bronfman in connection with his service as our Executive Chairman during the 2025 Transition Period.
(2)Represents discretionary additional bonuses paid to Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela for their performance during 2024.
(3)Represents the grant date fair value of RSU and PRSU awards granted in the applicable fiscal year computed in accordance with ASC 718. The grant date fair value of RSU awards is calculated using the closing price per share of our common stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of RSUs. The grant date fair value of PRSU awards tied to financial objectives is calculated using the closing price per share of our common stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of PRSUs, as adjusted by the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objectives at the time of grant, which was assumed to be “target” for purposes of the PRSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 tied to financial objectives. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. The grant date fair value of PRSU awards tied to stock price hurdles is calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables, including expected volatility of our stock price and other assumptions appropriate for determining fair value, to estimate the probability of satisfying the performance objective established for the award, including the expected volatility of our stock price relative to the applicable comparative index and a risk-free interest rate, calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The simulation model assumed an expected volatility of 112.5%, a risk free interest rate of 3.92% and a weighted average derived service period of less than one year.

(4)Represents the grant date fair value of option awards granted in the applicable fiscal year. In accordance with SEC rules, this column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted to the named executive officers computed in accordance with ASC 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. This amount does not reflect the actual economic value that will be realized by the named executive officers upon the exercise of the awards or the sale of the Common Stock underlying such awards.
2026 Proxy Statement 70 With respect to the performance-based stock options originally awarded to Mr. Gandler in October 2020 (the “Gandler Performance Options”), the vesting was originally tied to a series of five one-year performance measure periods (commencing with 2021) and eligible to be earned over five years, with 20% of the award eligible to be earned each year. In accordance with SEC rules and ASC 718, due to the vesting terms applicable to the original Gandler Performance Options as in effect prior to the amendment of such award in April 2023, no grant date for ASC 718 purposes had occurred for the portion of the award tied to 2023-2025 performance as of the date of the amendment and therefore no value for such portion of the award had been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table for prior years. As a result, the service inception date for the portion of the award eligible to vest in each calendar year preceded the grant date for such portion of the award for ASC 718 purposes. In addition, due to the discretion reserved by the Compensation Committee in determining the final vesting for each year, no grant date for ASC 718 purposes occurred for any portion of the original Gandler Performance Options in 2021. As a result, the service inception date for the portion of the award eligible to vest in each calendar year preceded the grant date for such portion of the award for ASC 718 purposes. Since, prior to the amendment of the award in April 2023, the number of shares to be earned on each determination date (subsequent to the Company’s calendar year-end) was subject to the discretion of the Board, the compensation expense was adjusted each reporting period for changes in fair value prorated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered and based on the number of shares expected to be earned. For the portion of the performance-based option eligible to be earned for 2021, the Company recognized $5,432,006 of stock-based compensation expense for such portion of the award in 2021, which amount is included in the table above for 2021. For the portion of the performance-based option eligible to be earned for 2022, the fair value for stock-based compensation expense purposes of such portion of the award as of January 1, 2022, the service inception date for such portion of the award, would have been $7,255,640, which amount is included in the table above for 2022.
As a result of the amendment to the Gandler Performance Options in April 2023 (the “Amended Gandler Performance Options”), all future vesting was tied to the achievement of pre-established objectives during the year ended December 31, 2025. Under ASC 718, the amendment of such option resulted in the establishment of a grant date for ASC 718 purposes as of the date of such amendment, resulting in a grant date fair value of the remaining portion of such award of $402,021 under ASC 718 which is included in the table above for 2023.
(5)These amounts represent performance bonuses earned under our executive bonus program, which is described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis —Performance Bonuses.” For the 2025 Transition Period, represents the portion of the annual bonus earned for calendar year 2026 that was attributable to the 2025 Transition Period.
(6)For the 2025 Transition Period, represents (a) health insurance premiums paid by the Company on behalf of the named executive officers, (b) for Mr. Bronfman, $75,000 for reimbursement of personal legal fees incurred in connection with the business combination during such period, and (c) for each of Messrs. Gandler, Janedis and Horihuela, $125,000, representing their individual prorated portion of the aggregate reimbursement of personal legal fees to the named executive officers in connection with the business combination during such period.

DISCUSSION OF SUMMARY COMPENSATION AND GRANTS PLAN-BASED AWARDS TABLES
Our executive compensation policies and practices, pursuant to which the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the 2025 Transition Period Grants of Plan-Based Awards table was paid or awarded, are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Summaries of certain material terms of our employment agreements and our Executive Severance Plan are set forth below.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
David Gandler. In May 2023, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with David Gandler (the “Gandler Employment Agreement”). Mr. Gandler is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board.
In the event that Mr. Gandler’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Gandler for good reason (as such each term is defined in the Gandler Employment Agreement) outside of the Change in Control Period (as defined below, he will be entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to 24 months of his base salary, payable in installments over the 24-month period following his termination, (ii) a prorated annual bonus for the year of his termination, paid at target level (the “Prorated Bonus”), payable in a lump sum, (iii) any unpaid annual incentive bonus with respect to a performance period ending on or preceding the date of his termination, payable at the same time as annual bonuses for such performance period are paid to similarly-situated employee, (iv) reimbursement for premium payments for COBRA coverage for up to a maximum of 24 months following termination, and (v) immediate vesting of all time-vesting equity awards; provided, however, that any equity awards that are subject to performance-vesting will vest based on the terms of each applicable award agreement. If Mr. Gandler’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within the 6 months prior to or the 24 months following a change in control (the “Change in Control Period”), then in lieu of the Prorated Bonus, he will receive a payment equal to two times his target annual incentive bonus for the year of termination, but will otherwise receive the same payments and benefits that he would receive on a termination outside of the Change in Control Period as described above. If Mr. Gandler’s employment terminates due to death or disability (as defined in the Gandler Employment Agreement), he or his estate will be entitled to receive any unpaid annual incentive bonus with respect to a performance period ending on or before his date of termination, payable at the same time as annual bonuses for such performance period are paid to similarly-situated employees. Any severance or other payments or benefits to Mr. Gandler will be subject to a Section 280G “best net” cutback in which such payments or benefits will be reduced only to the extent it results in a better tax position for him. All severance is subject to Mr. Gandler’s execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants.
John Janedis. On January 3, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement with John Janedis (the “Janedis Letter Agreement”), in connection with his commencement of employment as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Janedis is also eligible for severance under the Executive Severance Plan, as described below.

2026 Proxy Statement 74 employee non-solicitation covenants effective during his employment and for up to twelve months following termination. Mr. Horihuela is eligible for severance under the Executive Severance Plan, as described below.
Executive Severance Plan
We maintain the Executive Severance Plan, which provides severance benefits to certain of our management-level employees, including Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela.

In addition, in the event that Mr. Janedis’ or Horihuela’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or he resigns for good reason within 24 months following a change of control, then in lieu of the payments described above, he will be eligible to receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of his base salary plus target annual bonus, (ii) a lump sum payment of any unpaid annual bonus (if any) earned with respect to the prior, completed fiscal year, (iii) a lump sum payment equal to his target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, prorated for the portion of the year he was employed prior to termination, and (iv) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA premiums for a period of 18 months, and (v) accelerated vesting of all unvested equity or equity-based awards held by the executive that are time-vesting awards.
All payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Plan are contingent upon execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, a 12 month post-termination employee nonsolicitation covenant and a nondisparagement covenant.
Any severance payments or benefits under the Executive Severance Plan will be subject to a Section 280G “best net” cutback in which such payments or benefits will be reduced only to the extent it results in a greater payment, net of taxes, to the participant.
On January 5, 2025, our Board amended the Severance Plan to provide that, in connection with or anticipation of a “change in control” (as defined in the Severance Plan), the Severance Plan may not be amended in a manner adverse to the Severance Plan participants without their prior written consent, for a period of 24 months following the change in control.

The following table summarizes the potential payments to our named executive officers in four scenarios: (1) upon termination by us without cause or the executive’s resignation for good reason apart from a change in control (“CIC”); (2) upon termination by us following the executive’s permanent disability or as a result of the executive’s death; (3) upon termination by us without cause or the executive’s resignation for good reason in connection with a CIC (for Messrs. Gandler, “in connection with a CIC” includes the 6-month period prior to and the 24-month period following a CIC, and for all other named executive officers, “in connection with a CIC” includes the 24-month period following a CIC (or, with respect to their outstanding PRSUs, any time following a CIC); or (4) in the event of a CIC without a termination of employment. The table assumes that the termination of employment or CIC, as applicable, occurred on September 27, 2025. The definitions of “cause”, “good reason” and “bonus” are contained in the Gandler Employment Agreement for Mr. Gandler, in the Executive Severance Plan for Messrs. Janedis and Horihuela, and in the applicable award agreement for Mr. Bronfman, which are described above under the heading “— Discussion of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.”

Separation Agreement with Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Mr. Bronfman ceased employment with the Company effective as of the closing of the business combination on October 29, 2025. The Company and Mr. Bronfman entered into a separation letter agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Bronfman resigned from any and all positions he held as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, effective as of and contingent upon the closing of the business combination. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Bronfman’s termination of employment was treated as a resignation for good reason for purposes of his outstanding equity awards and his award under the Retention Bonus Program, and, in exchange for a general release of claims in favor of the Company, he vested in all of his outstanding equity awards and received his awards under the Retention Bonus Program upon the closing of the business combination. Please refer to “Retention Bonus Program” for further details regarding Mr. Bronfman’s participation in, and award under, the Retention Bonus Program.
CEO PAY RATIO
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee, using the required calculations. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
As of September 27, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 540 individuals. To identify the median employee for the 2025 Transition Period, we looked at our employee population as of September 27, 2025 and determined each such employee’s 2025 Transition Period compensation consisting of base salary, our consistently applied compensation measure. Additional information regarding our methodology includes the following:
•for employees who were hired during the 2025 Transition Period, but did not work for us for the entire period, we annualized their compensation as if they had been employed by us for all of the 2025 Transition Period;
•no cost of living adjustment was applied; and
•for an employee paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, their compensation was converted into U.S. dollars, using exchange rates as of September 27, 2025.
To calculate the pay ratio for the 2025 Transition Period, we calculated the components of the median employee’s compensation for the 2025 Transition Period in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.
For the 2025 Transition Period:
•our Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation for the 2025 Transition Period, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, was $10,886,885; and
•our median employee’s annual total compensation for the 2025 Transition Period was $158,012.
Based on this information, our 2025 Chief Executive Officer to median employee pay ratio was approximately 69 to 1.
2026 Proxy Statement 84 This pay ratio disclosure is a reasonable estimate. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio permit companies to use various methodologies and assumptions, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable with the pay ratio that we have reported.

(2)Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (i) for RSU awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year-end date(s), (ii) for stock options, a Black Scholes value as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair value but using the closing stock price on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price and with an expected term equal to the half- life from vesting to the end of its contractual term, and (iii) for performance-based RSU awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year-end date(s) as adjusted for the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objectives as of each such date. For additional information on the assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards, see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025 and in footnote (3) to the Summary Compensation Table above.

Pay Versus Performance Tabular List
We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers for the 2025 Transition Period:
•Revenue
•Adjusted EBITDA ; and
•Subscribers .
2026 Proxy Statement 88 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, impairment of other assets, stock-based compensation, certain litigation and transaction expenses, other (income) expense, and income tax provision (benefit). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix C.
For additional details regarding our most important financial performance measures, please see the sections titled “Pay for Performance,” “Performance Bonuses” and “Long-Term Equity Incentives” in our compensation discussion and analysis elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
2026 Proxy Statement 89 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We compensate non-employee members of the Board. With the exception of the Executive Chairman, directors who are also employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, including The Walt Disney Company, do not receive cash or equity compensation for service on the Board in addition to compensation payable for their service as our employees. The non-employee members of the Board are reimbursed for travel, lodging and other reasonable expenses incurred in attending board of directors or committee meetings.
We established our Outside Director Compensation Policy to set forth guidelines for the compensation of our non-employee directors for their service on our Board. Under our Outside Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director receives an initial award of either an option to purchase shares of Common Stock or RSUs, in each case with a Value (as defined in the policy) of $330,000. If such an award is an option, it vests in 36 equal, monthly installments after the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date; if such an award is in the form of RSUs, such portion of the initial award will vest in three annual installments beginning with the first anniversary after the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date. Initial awards are made in the form of RSUs unless determined otherwise by the Board.
Additionally, each non-employee director receives an annual award of either an option to purchase shares of Common Stock or RSUs, in each case with a value of $228,000, effective on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that a non-employee director will not be eligible for an annual award unless he or she has been a director for at least six months prior to the annual meeting of stockholders and is continuing as a non-employee director following the annual meeting. Each annual award will vest in full on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date or the day immediately prior to the date of our annual stockholders meeting immediately following the date of grant, subject to continued service through the vesting date. The awards under our Outside Director Compensation Policy will accelerate and vest in full upon a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan), provided the director has continued in service through such change in control date. Annual awards are made in the form of RSUs unless determined otherwise by the Board. All of such awards vested upon the closing of the business combination, which constituted a change in control for purposes of the 2020 Plan.
During the 2025 Transition Period, the base models for the cash and equity components of our compensation policy for non-employee directors are set forth below:
| Position | Annual Cash Retainer | Annual Equity Grant | ||||||||||||

2026 Proxy Statement 92 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock for:
•each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock;
•each of our directors;
•each of our named executive officers; and
•all of our executive officers and directors as a group.
The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder as described in this Proxy Statement is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options, restricted stock units or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of June 2, 2026, are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage ownership of each individual or entity is based on 29,443,758 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 78,992,518 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding as of June 2, 2026.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is c/o FuboTV Inc. 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10104. We believe, based on information provided to us, that each of the stockholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the stockholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

2026 Proxy Statement 94 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
OUR POLICY REGARDING RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Our Board of Directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception thereof). We have adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval of related person transactions that is in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock that is listed on the NYSE.
Under the policy, our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and procedures to obtain information regarding related persons with respect to potential related person transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether such potential related person transactions do, in fact, constitute related person transactions requiring compliance with the policy. The Audit Committee will be provided with the details of each related person transaction (or proposed related person transaction), including the terms of the transaction, the business purpose of the transaction and the benefits to us and to the relevant related person.
In determining whether to approve a related person transaction, the Audit Committee (or the chairperson of the Audit Committee, if applicable) will consider, among other factors, the following factors to the extent relevant to the related person transaction: whether the terms of the related person transaction are fair to our company and on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; whether the transaction is inconsistent with the interests of our company and its stockholders; whether the related person transaction would impair the independence of an outside director, including the ability of any director to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board; and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, taking into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of the Company’s organizational documents and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Any member of the Audit Committee who has an interest in the transaction under discussion will recuse himself or herself from any discussion or vote of the Audit Committee on the transaction creating the conflict, except that such director must provide all material information concerning such transaction to the Audit Committee as requested. The Audit Committee shall update the Board with respect to any related person transactions as part of its regular updates to the Board regarding Audit Committee activities.

In addition, the Company, Hulu and Newco entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of Fubo Operations LLC (the “Newco Operating Agreement”).

Fubo is the initial sole managing member of Newco (the “Manager”). Fubo may not be removed as Manager except by Fubo’s own election and does not, subject to certain exceptions, receive any compensation for its role as Manager.
Required Ratio
The Newco Operating Agreement requires that the ratio of Common Units to Class A Common Stock always be maintained.
Distributions
Newco may make distributions to its members from time to time at the discretion of the Manager generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with each member’s respective ownership interest in Newco. Newco is also required to make distributions to members generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with each member’s respective ownership interest in Newco held by each member to enable Fubo to meet its tax obligations and obligations under the Tax Receivables Agreement.
Amendments; Termination
The holders of a majority of voting Common Units must provide their consent in order to amend the Newco Operating Agreement and amendments must be made in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation; provided that certain amendments may be made by the Manager. The voluntary dissolution of Newco will require the decision of the Manager, together with the approval of the holders of a majority of voting Common Units.
Stockholders Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company and Hulu entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) governing Hulu’s ownership of Class B Common Stock (or, as thereafter exchanged, Class A Common Stock).
Hulu Agreement to Vote
The Stockholders Agreement provides, among other things, that until the first date on which Hulu and its affiliates cease to collectively own at least 50% of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, Hulu has agreed to vote its shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (i) in favor of directors that are nominated by the Board (whether at an annual or special meeting) in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, including, until October 29, 2027, the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Unaffiliated Independent Designees, and (ii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any proposal presented at an annual or special meeting, subject to certain exceptions.

Lockup
Until October 29, 2027, Hulu and its affiliates are prohibited from transferring the shares of Class B Common Stock (or, as thereafter exchanged, Class A Common Stock) received in connection with the business combination other than to its affiliates or pursuant to certain other exceptions.

Tax Receivables Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company, Newco and Hulu entered into a tax receivables agreement (the “Tax Receivables Agreement”), which sets forth the agreement among the parties regarding the sharing of certain tax benefits realized (or, in connection with an acceleration upon the Company’s election to terminate the Tax Receivables Agreement, deemed realized) by the Company. The Company is generally obligated to pay Hulu a percentage of the benefit realized by the Company from the use of certain historic net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of the Company in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 70% and (ii) Hulu’s ownership percentage of Newco as of the date the NOL is utilized.

The term of the Tax Receivables Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company elects to terminate the Tax Receivables Agreement early.

Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company and Hulu entered into a registration rights agreement (the “New Registration Rights Agreement”) in respect of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the New Registration Rights Agreement) received by Hulu in exchange for the Class B Common Stock that Hulu received in connection with the business combination.

In addition, the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf to become and remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary, so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding.
Furthermore, under the New Registration Rights Agreement, Hulu has certain customary underwritten offering demand rights and piggyback registration rights.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS
From time to time, the Company’s Board members and executive officers have served as directors or executive officers of other organizations, including organizations with which the Company has commercial or other financial relationships, or maintained investments in such organizations. Other than as described above, the Company does not believe that any director or nominee had a direct or indirect material interest in any such relationships during fiscal 2025 and through the date of this Proxy Statement.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any present or former officer or director, or person exercising powers and duties of an officer or director, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law.
Under the DGCL, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, however, may not limit or eliminate a director’s or an officer’s personal liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for the payment of unlawful dividends, stock repurchases or redemptions, (iv) for any transaction in which the director or officer received an improper personal benefit, or (v), in the case of an officer only, in any action by or in the right of the corporation.
Any repeal of or modification to the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws may not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. The Bylaws also provide that we shall advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in connection with his or her services to us.
We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including
2026 Proxy Statement 98 attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of such person’s services as one of our directors or executive officers, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. We also maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must submit the proposal to our Corporate Secretary at our offices at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10104 in writing not later than __________, 2027, if such proposal is to be considered for inclusion in our 2027 proxy materials.

We currently anticipate that the date of our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held more than 30 days before July 28, 2027 (the anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders), in which case, we will announce the meeting date and applicable deadline for stockholders’ proposals in a subsequent periodic or current report.

3. Stock Subject to the Plan.
(a) Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to Awards and sold under the Plan is the sum of (i) 14,593,054 Shares, plus (ii) any additional Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(c) below on or after the Original Effective Date of the Plan.

With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be
2026 Proxy Statement A-4available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan.

(e) Incentive Stock Option Limit.

4. Administration of the Plan.
(a) Procedure.
(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

(iii) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which Committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.
(iv) Delegation of Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to this Section 4; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under any of the Company’s organizational documents and Applicable Law. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation or that are otherwise included in the applicable organizational documents, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 4 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and the Board or the Committee may abolish any committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority.
2026 Proxy Statement A-5(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;
(v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;
(vi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;
(vii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable non-U.S. laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable non-U.S. laws;
(viii) subject to Section 20 of the Plan, to modify or amend each Award, including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards; provided, however, that in no case will an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be extended beyond its original maximum term;
(ix) to allow Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 15(d);
(x) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;
(xi) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and
(xii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.
(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards and will be given the maximum deference permitted by Applicable Laws.
5. Eligibility. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units may be granted to any Service Providers. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, to the extent required for exemption under Section 409A, may be granted only to Service Providers rendering services to the Company or a Subsidiary (not a Parent). Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
6. Stock Options.
(a) Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(b) Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
2026 Proxy Statement A-6(c) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and the calculation will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement, but in no event will the term of an Option be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
(e) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
(i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:
(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:
a) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share (or the fair market value per Share as determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(A)) on the date of grant.
b) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant (or the fair market value per Share as determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(A)).
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).
(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.
(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note; to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under a broker assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
2026 Proxy Statement A-7(f) Exercise of Option.
(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.
(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.
(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.
(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.
7. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers of the Company or a Subsidiary at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.
(b) Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares subject to any Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.
2026 Proxy Statement A-8(c) Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per Share exercise price for the Shares that will determine the amount of the payment to be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in Section 7(f) will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.
(d) Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(e) Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) relating to the maximum term and Section 6(f) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.
(f) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
(i) The excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times
(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.
At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
8. Restricted Stock.
(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
(c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 8 or as the Administrator determines, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.
(d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.
(e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.
(f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.
(g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, dividends with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Shares of Restricted Stock shall only be paid out to the Service Provider to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the award vests.
2026 Proxy Statement A-9(h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.
9. Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.
(b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.
(c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.
(d) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement which shall establish exemption or comply with all requirements of Code Section 409A. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.
(e) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.
(f) Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of Shares covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Administrator and contained in the Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Administrator. Any additional Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying Award Agreement to which they relate. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, dividends and dividend equivalents with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award that is subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Service Provider to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests.
10. Performance Units and Performance Shares.
(a) Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.
(b) Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
(c) Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Providers. The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance Period.” Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual
2026 Proxy Statement A-10goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.
(d) Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.
(e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period or at such other time as may be specified in the Award Agreement which shall establish exemption or comply with all requirements of Code Section 409A. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.
(f) Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.
11. Outside Director Limitations. No Outside Director may be granted, in any Fiscal Year, Awards with a grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) of more than $750,000, increased to $1,500,000 in connection with his or her initial service. Any Awards granted to an individual while he or she was an Employee, or while he or she was a Consultant, or Awards granted as compensation for service to the Company in any capacity in addition to the services normally performed by an Outside Director, including compensation for service in any officer role, such as Executive Chairman (whether or not treated as an Employee in such role), will not count for purposes of the limitations under this Section 11. The Administrator may make exceptions to this limit for individual Outside Directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion.
12. Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. In no event will the Company have any obligation under the terms of this Plan to reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other costs that may be imposed on Participant as a result of Section 409A.
13. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
14. Limited Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.
15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.
2026 Proxy Statement A-11(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits of Section 3.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c) Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent, including, without limitation, that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this subsection 15(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.
In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, in all cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
For the purposes of this subsection 15(c) and subsection 15(d), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit, or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.
2026 Proxy Statement A-12Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent, in all cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(c) to the contrary, and unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, if an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.
(d) Outside Director Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, with respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director, the Outside Directors will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable.
16. Tax Withholding.
(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof) or such earlier time as any tax withholding obligation is due, the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).
(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by such methods as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine, in each case, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion. The fair market value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.
17. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
18. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the
2026 Proxy Statement A-13Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
19. Term of Plan. This amended and restated Plan was adopted by the Board on [ ], 2026 and became effective upon the Restatement Effective Date. It will continue in effect until terminated under Section 20 of the Plan. In no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under the Plan following the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date the Board approved this amended and restated Plan, or (b) the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approve this amended and restated Plan.
20. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws or as required by Section 20(d) below.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
(d) Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 15 hereof, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares.
21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
22. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or to complete or comply with the requirements of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state, federal or non-U.S. law or under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Shares of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance will not have been obtained.
23. Stockholder Approval. This amended and restated Plan will be presented for approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date on which the Board approved this amended and restated Plan. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within such 12-month period, this amended and restated Plan shall not become effective, and the Prior Plan, and all Awards thereunder, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
24. Forfeiture Events.
(a) All Awards under the Plan will be subject to recoupment under any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Laws. In addition, the Administrator may
2026 Proxy Statement A-14impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right regarding previously acquired Shares or other cash or property. Unless this Section 24 is specifically mentioned and waived in an Award Agreement or other document, no recovery of compensation under a clawback policy or otherwise will be an event that triggers or contributes to any right of a Participant to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company.
(b) The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but will not be limited to, termination of such Participant’s status as Service Provider for cause or any specified action or inaction by a Participant, whether before or after such termination of service, that would constitute cause for termination of such Participant’s status as a Service Provider.

2026 Proxy Statement B-2-1APPENDIX C
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this Proxy Statement. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it provides useful supplemental information that enables a meaningful comparison of our results to others in our industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider this non-GAAP financial measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information below provides an explanation of Adjusted EBITDA and shows a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, impairment of other assets, stock-based compensation, certain litigation and transaction expenses, other (income) expense, and income tax provision (benefit). Certain litigation expenses consist of legal expenses and related fees and costs for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of the ordinary course of business and do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance, based on the several considerations which we assess regularly, including: (1) the frequency of similar cases that have been brought to date, or are expected to be brought in the future; (2) matter-specific facts and circumstances, such as the unique nature or complexity of the case and/or remedy(ies) sought, including the size of any monetary damages sought; (3) the counterparty involved; and (4) the extent to which management considers these amounts for purposes of operating decision-making and in assessing operating performance. Certain transaction expenses consist of professional advisor costs related to the business combination with Hulu + Live TV.
