Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN), a provider of prepackaged software services with a market capitalization of $1.71 billion, announced on Sunday changes to its compensation policy for non-executive board members.
The San Ramon, California-based company, which was previously known as ChaSerg Technology Acquisition Corp., disclosed the updates following a Board of Directors meeting held on January 12, 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears overvalued at its current price of $20.48, despite showing strong financial health with a robust current ratio of 5.96.
The Board, with the recommendation from its Compensation Committee, has decided to increase the annual restricted stock unit (RSU) award for the non-executive Chairman from $20,000 to $30,000. Additionally, the company has introduced new annual RSU awards of $40,000 for the chairs of each Board committee. Members of each Board committee, who are not already receiving an RSU award as chair, will now receive annual RSU awards of $30,000.
This compensation adjustment comes as Grid Dynamics has demonstrated strong market performance, with InvestingPro data showing an impressive 84.57% price return over the past six months, though the stock has recently experienced an 8.3% decline in the past week.
