Firefly Neuroscience, Inc., a company specializing in prepackaged software with a market capitalization of $31.7 million, announced the appointment of Greg Lipschitz as its new Chief Executive Officer. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has experienced significant volatility, dropping nearly 10% in the past week alone. The appointment, which took place on Tuesday, March 26, 2025, was followed by an executive employment agreement dated March 27, 2025.
Under the terms of the agreement, Lipschitz will receive a base salary of $300,000 annually, with eligibility for an annual cash bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, dependent on the fiscal year-end performance. This compensation package comes as InvestingPro analysis shows the company is quickly burning through cash, with negative EBITDA of $8.17 million in the last twelve months. Additionally, he is set to receive restricted stock units representing 3% of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock, with specific vesting conditions tied to service continuity and performance targets.
The initial term of Lipschitz’s employment is set for three years starting January 6, 2025, with provisions for automatic renewal and severance payments under certain conditions, such as termination without cause or in the event of a change of control at the company. The severance package includes a lump sum equivalent to one year’s base salary and immediate vesting of outstanding equity compensation.
Lipschitz also entered into a confidentiality agreement with Firefly Neuroscience, which includes noncompetition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement provisions effective during and post-employment.
This executive shake-up comes as Firefly Neuroscience, listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker AIFF, continues to navigate the competitive landscape of the software services industry. The company’s focus will likely remain on innovation and market expansion under Lipschitz’s leadership, particularly crucial given its current trading above InvestingPro’s Fair Value estimate.
