What Happened
Gentherm Incorporated announced on March 17, 2026 that its Compensation and Talent Committee approved new forms of equity award agreements under the Gentherm 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. The new forms — a Restricted Stock Award Agreement for non‑employee directors, an RSU Award Agreement for employees, and a PSU Award Agreement for employees — are effective for 2026 grants and are included as exhibits in the filing. The revisions provide for accelerated vesting and/or deemed earned awards in specific events.

Key Details

• Approval date: March 17, 2026; changes apply to awards granted in 2026 under the 2023 Plan.
• Award forms: RSU Award Agreement (Non‑Employee Directors), RSU Award Agreement (employees), and PSU Award Agreement (employees) (filed as exhibits).
• Acceleration triggers: death, disability, involuntary termination without cause, and a qualifying retirement.
• These are management/compensatory plan documents to be used for future equity grants.

Why It Matters
This change alters the vesting rules for future equity grants to Gentherm’s directors and employees, clarifying when awards become vested or deemed earned after death, disability, involuntary termination or qualifying retirement. For investors, that affects how and when executives and directors may receive stock from compensation programs and can influence retention outcomes and the timing of share issuance tied to vested awards.
