Equity Incentive Plans
On April 1, 2020, Fubo's board of directors approved the establishment of the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as subsequently amended (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares to its employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2025, there are 16,127,543 shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.
On August 3, 2022, August 7, 2023, August 5, 2024 and August 8, 2025, Fubo's board of directors adopted the 2022 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan ("2022 Plan"), the 2023 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan ("2023 Plan"), the 2024 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan ("2024 Plan") and the 2025 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan” and, collectively, the "Inducement Plans"), respectively, in each case without shareholder approval pursuant to Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. The Inducement Plans provide for the grant of equity-based awards, including non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares, and their terms are substantially similar to the 2020 Plan, with the exception that awards can only be made to new employees in connection with their commencement of employment. As of December 31, 2025, there are no shares available for future issuance under the 2022 Plan, 2023 Plan and 2024 Plan, and there are 2,925,680 shares available for future issuance under the 2025 Plan.

Performance-Based Stock Options
On October 8, 2020, the Company granted the CEO a performance stock option to purchase 4,100,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $10.00, subject to the achievement of certain predetermined performance goals. On April 20, 2023, the Company amended the award to modify the vesting conditions with respect to the 3,280,000 options that remained unvested as of the amendment date (the "Amended Options"), which became eligible to vest on February 20, 2026 (the "Vesting Date") subject to the achievement of certain amended performance goals. In connection with the Business Combination, the Amended Options were earned at the target performance level and will vest on the Vesting Date, subject to continued service. Compensation cost related to the Amended Options is recognized over the requisite service period for the amended award beginning on the amendment date and ending on the Vesting Date based on the probability of achievement of the Performance Criteria. The fair value of the Amended Options as of the amendment date totaled $1.2 million. The Amended Options are subject to acceleration upon certain events and conditions, including a change of control and qualifying terminations, and upon death, disability, and certain “good leaver” circumstances.
