Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On January 2, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Airship AI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, ratified and adopted, effective as of December 21, 2023, the Airship AI Holdings, Inc. Clawback Policy (the “Policy”) for the recovery of certain executive compensation in order to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the rules and amendments adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement the aforementioned legislation, and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) adopted pursuant thereto.  The Board has designated the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board as the administrator of the Policy.

 

The Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the listing standards of Nasdaq, and such other senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the Committee (“Covered Executives”), in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Under the Policy, the Company will require reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess incentive compensation received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare such restatement.
