The Original Report omitted Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be either incorporated by reference from the registrant's definitive proxy statement or included in an amendment to Form 10-K, in either case filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year.

This Amendment is being filed solely to amend Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Original Report to include the information required by such Items, and to file an additional exhibit. We are also filing as exhibits to this Amendment the certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in the Original Report or reflect any events that have occurred after the Original Report was filed. Information not affected by this Amendment remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time as of which the Original Report was made. This Amendment should be read together with the Original Report and the Company's other filings with the SEC.

**DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on our review of SEC filings and written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported, the Company believes that during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were made on a timely basis. Separately, a Form 4 filed on behalf of Kirsten Newquist on February 26, 2025 inadvertently underreported the number of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of performance stock units ("PSUs"). As a result, Ms. Newquist's reported beneficial ownership was understated by 8,318 shares in that Form 4 and in subsequent Forms 4 filed on March 17, 2025, April 16, 2025, July 16, 2025 and October 16, 2025. The Company filed a Form 4/A on April 17, 2026 to correct the error.

**ITEM 11. *EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION*** 

**COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS**

For the board years beginning June 1, 2024 and ending May 31, 2025 and beginning June 1, 2025 and ending May 31, 2026 (each such period, a "board year"), our non-employee directors are eligible to receive the following compensation amounts in respect of their services as a member of our Board of Directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an annual retainer per board year of $125,000, except for the Chair or Lead Independent Director, who is eligible to receive an annual retainer of $175,000; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an additional annual retainer per board year of $5,000 for service on each committee of the Board of Directors, and in addition the chair of the Audit Committee is eligible to receive an additional retainer of $20,000, and the chair of each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee is eligible to receive an additional retainer of $10,000 for each board year, respectively.

Each of our non-employee directors has elected to receive 50% of their annual retainer in restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2011 Plan"). The remaining 50% of the retainer is paid in cash in equal quarterly installments. Additionally, we reimburse our non-employee directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors, which primarily consist of travel expenses associated with Board of Directors or committee meetings or with committee assignments.

Directors who are our employees do not receive additional compensation for their service on the Board of Directors.

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the compensation earned by our non-employee directors for their service as directors in 2025:

(1)The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, *Compensation-Stock Compensation* ("ASC 718"), rather than amounts paid to or realized by the named individual. The assumptions used in determining grant date fair value of these awards are set forth in Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There can be no assurance that the price of our common stock when RSUs vest and settle will equal or exceed the price of our common stock on the date of the applicable RSU award.

(2)Reflects RSUs granted for service as a director and on committees. The number of RSUs awarded in lieu of 50% of the annual retainer otherwise payable in cash was calculated by dividing the average price of our common stock over the five (5) trading days preceding the start of the board year. 1/12<sup>th</sup> of the RSUs subject to the RSU award vest monthly beginning on June 1, 2025, subject to the named executive officer's continuous service through the applicable vesting date. Shares in settlement of vested RSUs will be delivered to the director on the earlier of (a) three (3) years from the initial vesting start date of the award or (b) the director's separation of service.

(3)At December 31, 2025, Ms. Angelini held 35,006 vested but not settled RSUs, and 11,330 unvested RSUs.

***2025 Compensation Program Design and Results***

We establish total direct compensation for our Named Executive Officers consisting of the following components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Base Salary**: We provide fixed compensation based on competitive local market practices that is intended to acknowledge and reward the core competence of our executives relative to their responsibilities, skills, experience and contributions to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Variable Compensation**: Executives and other key employees of the Company are eligible to earn bonuses paid in cash and/or equity-based awards subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria determined by the Compensation Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Equity Awards/Long-Term Incentive Compensation**: We grant equity awards, generally comprised of RSUs vesting over a multiple-year period, aimed at incentivizing our executive officers to build sustainable long-term value for the benefit of our stockholders.

<u>Base Salary</u>

We provide base salaries to our executive officers to compensate them for their services rendered during the year and to provide them with a level of competitive and stable fixed compensation. During 2025, our Chief Executive Officer's annual base salary was $400,000, effective as of August 4, 2025 our Chief Financial Officer's annual base salary was $290,000 (prior to his appointment as our Chief Financial Officer on such date, his annual base salary was $264,992), and prior to his departure our Former Chief Financial Officer's annual base salary was $345,000.

<u>Variable Compensation</u> 

We use bonus opportunities to motivate our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, to achieve our short-term financial and operational objectives while making progress towards our longer-term growth and other goals. These bonuses are intended to help us to deliver a competitive total direct compensation opportunity to our executive officers. Our bonuses are generally entirely performance-based and may vary materially from year-to-year.

For 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and our Former Chief Financial Officer were each eligible to earn quarterly cash performance bonuses. During the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee established weighted quarterly performance objectives for (a) revenue, (b) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and (c) gross margin. Bonus payouts were determined on a sliding scale ranging from 90% to 150%, provided at least 90% of the weighted objective was achieved. Our Chief Executive Officer was eligible to earn up to $75,000 each quarter and our Former Chief Financial Officer was eligible to earn up to $31,250 each quarter.

------

The quarterly performance objectives for our Chief Executive Officer and our Former Chief Financial Officer for 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Quarterly Performance Period** | **Revenue<br>Target** | **YTD EBITDA Target** | **YTD Gross Margin Target** |
| 2025 Q1 | $5263000 | $(4251000) | 13.2% |
| 2025 Q2 | $5814000 | $(8553000) | 14.0% |
| 2025 Q3 | $6448000 | $(12612000) | 15.7% |
| 2025 Q4 | $6751000 | $(15761000) | 19.8% |

---

The Compensation Committee reviewed the Company's performance against the pre-established performance objectives shortly following each quarterly performance period for 2025. The Compensation Committee determined that the EBITDA targets were satisfied for all four quarters and the revenue target was satisfied for the first and fourth quarters. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer earned and was paid a cash bonus of $52,500 for the first quarter, a cash bonus of $30,000 for each of the second and third quarters, and a cash bonus of $61,575 for the fourth quarter (the bonus amount earned based on performance during the fourth quarter of 2025 was paid in the first quarter of 2026). Our Former Chief Financial Officer earned and was paid a cash bonus of $21,875 for the first quarter and a cash bonus of $12,500 for the second quarter. Mr. Scarpulla resigned from his positions as our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, effective July 11, 2025, and was therefore not eligible to earn a performance bonus for the third and fourth quarters.

For 2025, in connection with his appointment as our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kirnbauer earned and was paid a guaranteed cash bonus for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2025 of $36,250 (the bonus amount earned based on performance during the fourth quarter of 2025 was paid in the first quarter of 2026). Prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kirnbauer was not eligible to earn a cash incentive bonus.

<u>Equity Awards/Long-Term Incentive Compensation</u>

We use long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards to motivate our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, by providing them with the opportunity to build an equity interest in the Company and to share in the potential appreciation of the value of our common stock. During 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and our Former Chief Financial Officer were not awarded any new equity awards. During 2025, our Chief Financial Officer received two equity awards. First, on July 29, 2025, in connection with his appointment as Acting Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kirnbauer was granted an award of 25,000 RSUs under the 2011 Plan which will vest in full on July 11, 2026, subject to his continued service through the applicable vesting date, further subject to acceleration pursuant to the Kirnbauer Employment Agreement (as defined below). Second, on August 9, 2025, in connection with his recent appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kirnbauer was granted an award of 15,000 RSUs under the 2011 Plan which will vest in full on July 11, 2026, subject to his continued service through the applicable vesting date, further subject to acceleration pursuant to the Kirnbauer Employment Agreement (as defined below).

<u>Retirement Plan</u> 

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other employees. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. For 2025, we made matching contributions of 50% of the first 4.0% of an eligible employee's eligible compensation contributed under our 401(k) plan.

<u>Welfare and Health Benefits</u> 

We provide health and welfare benefits to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, on the same basis as all of our full-time employees. These benefits generally include health, dental, vision benefits, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and basic life insurance coverage. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including our executive officers.

<u>Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits</u> 

Consistent with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, we believe perquisites for executive officers should be limited in scope and value, and should only be offered when they provide necessities or conveniences that allow our executive officers to focus on and optimally perform in their role with us. We do not currently provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers.

------

***Recoupment (or "Clawback") Policy*** 

We maintain an Incentive-Based Compensation Recoupment Policy (the "Recoupment Policy") that provides for the recoupment of excess incentive compensation paid to executive officers, including the named executive officers, in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements to comply with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as codified by Section 10D of the Exchange Act, and Nasdaq listing rule 5608. This Recoupment Policy applies to compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based in whole or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure and provides for the reimbursement or forfeiture by the executive officer of the excess portion of the compensation received by the executive officers during the three preceding fiscal years.

***Equity Grant Practices and Policies***

We have not granted individual employees stock options since 2016, and we do not make any grants of stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the Compensation Committee generally grants equity awards on a predetermined annual schedule, and we do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such awards. In addition, we do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

earned. Pursuant to the Newquist Employment Agreement, Ms. Newquist was granted an initial award of 200,000 RSUs under the 2011 Plan on June 28, 2024.

This policy is included in our Code of Conduct and Ethics. We conduct a review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis and all such transactions relating to executive officers and directors must be approved by the independent and disinterested members of the Board of Directors or an independent and disinterested committee of the Board of Directors.

**Director Independence**

Our Board of Directors has reviewed the independence of each of our directors and considered whether any director has had a material relationship with the Company or our management that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her duties and responsibilities.

<u>Change of Status</u>

August 1, 2025

RE: Ed Kirnbauer CFO Offer Letter

Dear Ed:

I am very pleased to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer of Identiv, Inc. based on the significant contribution and dedication you have demonstrated over the past ten years. This appointment reflects your ongoing leadership and strategic contributions while serving as Global Corporate Controller.

1)The effective date for your new role is Monday, August 4, 2025.

2)Your new base salary will be $290,000 annually, paid in accordance with Identiv's regular payroll practices and subject to applicable tax withholdings.

3)You will also be eligible to earn a quarterly performance bonus of up to 12.5%, or $36,250 of your base annual salary (up to $145,000 annually). Your quarterly bonus for Q3 and Q4 of 2025 will be guaranteed at 100% payout. Performance bonus criteria will be tied to specific thresholds to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board in consultation with you at the start of 2026.

4)In addition to the 25,000 one-year RSUs previously communicated in the letter dated July 2025, you will be granted an additional 15,000 one-year RSUs, bringing your total award to 40,000 RSUs under Identiv's 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). These RSUs will vest in their entirety on July 11, 2026, subject to your continued employment, and will be governed by the terms of the Plan and a forthcoming award agreement. We recommend you consult with a financial advisor to review the equity portion of your compensation.

5)If at any time Identiv terminates your employment without cause or if at any time during the twelve month period following the effective date of a change in control, your employment is terminated without cause, and you provide an enforceable release, then you will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of your then-current base salary (subject to applicable deductions and required tax withholdings); (ii) benefits continuation for twelve (12) months beginning in the month after your last day of employment; and (iii) accelerated vesting in all of your outstanding Identiv stock options, stock units, and similar equity awards with service based vesting.

The entire Board and Management are looking forward to working with you in this new capacity. I appreciate your commitment to the business and our shareholders and you taking on this new role.
