MARA Holdings ( (MARA) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On February 20, 2026, MARA Holdings, Inc.’s Talent, Culture and Compensation Committee approved new award agreement forms for restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units under its Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, with RSUs vesting in 11 substantially equal quarterly installments from April 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, subject to continued employment. The newly structured PSUs will vest based on fiscal 2026 performance metrics tied to Economic Triad Megawatt Capacity and Annual Recurring Revenues, modified by a three-year relative total shareholder return component and capped so that the overall long-term incentive payout, including any change-in-control treatment at target performance, cannot exceed 200% of the aggregate target long-term incentive opportunity for the cycle.
The PSU design allows for payouts below or above target, up to a 249% cap on performance-based achievement before TSR adjustment, with one-third of earned units settling shortly after performance certification and the remainder vesting over the following two years, reinforcing multi-year retention and alignment with shareholder returns. In a change in control, unvested PSUs are treated like RSUs with performance deemed achieved at target, which provides clarity and protection for participants while limiting overall dilution and cost through the program-wide payout cap.
The most recent analyst rating on (MARA) stock is a Buy with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MARA Holdings stock, see the MARA Stock Forecast page.
