DoubleVerify Holdings , Inc. (NYSE:DV) announced Monday it has entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Chief Executive Officer Mark Zagorski. The agreement, effective July 21, 2025, provides for Mr. Zagorski’s continued role as CEO.

According to the company’s statement in a press release and SEC filing, the new contract sets Mr. Zagorski’s annual base salary at $669,500. He will also be eligible for a target annual bonus equal to 100% of his base salary. In addition, the agreement includes a grant of time-vesting restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $2,500,000.

If DoubleVerify terminates Mr. Zagorski’s employment without cause, or if he resigns for “good reason” as defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to continued base salary for twelve months and certain health benefits for two years following termination. If such a termination occurs after January 1 of a calendar year but before the bonus for the preceding year is paid, Mr. Zagorski will receive 100% of his target bonus for that year.

If Mr. Zagorski resigns without “good reason” after January 1 and before payment of the previous year’s bonus, he will receive the bonus accrued based on actual performance.
