Modiv Industrial introduces new equity incentive plan

Modiv Industrial, Inc. (MDV), a real estate investment trust with a market capitalization of $143.63 million and an impressive 92.76% gross profit margin according to InvestingPro, announced on Monday the introduction of a new equity incentive plan aimed at aligning executive interests with shareholder value. The company, which currently offers a substantial 7.86% dividend yield, has been focusing on strengthening its financial position despite recent profitability challenges. The company entered into an amended agreement for its operating partnership, which included provisions for the Class X units—a new category of equity designed to reward performance and encourage long-term retention.

The Class X units, which may come with certain vesting conditions and transfer restrictions, are convertible into Class C units of the operating partnership, subject to appreciation in the partnership’s value. These units are intended to be treated as "profits interests" for tax purposes and carry similar rights to current distributions as Class C units. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a strong financial position with a current ratio of 5.34, indicating ample liquidity to meet its obligations.

On Sunday, February 3, 2025, Modiv Industrial’s Compensation Committee granted Class X units to three executive officers under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan. CEO Aaron S. Halfacre received the largest grant of 546,542.50 units, while CFO Raymond (NSE:RYMD) J. Pacini and COO John C. Raney were awarded 65,000.00 and 162,500.00 units respectively. These grants vest over different periods, with the CEO’s units vesting after five years and the CFO’s after two years, subject to continued employment.

Additionally, the Committee approved a significant salary reduction for Mr. Halfacre, setting his annual base salary at the legal minimum wage, effective by April 1, 2025. This decision aligns with his equity grant, which is intended to compensate for a lack of future equity grants, annual cash bonuses, and above-minimum wage salary for a five-year period.

The issuance of Class X units was made in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, indicating a private offering to executives without a public sale. Modiv Industrial’s actions reflect a strategic approach to executive compensation, focusing on long-term performance and shareholder alignment.

This news is based on a recent SEC filing by Modiv Industrial, Inc. While the company reported a loss in the last twelve months, InvestingPro analysts project a return to profitability this year, with an EPS forecast of $0.64 for 2024.
