Vancouver-based Humanoid Global Holdings Corp. (CSE: ROBO, FWB: 0XM1, OTCQB: RBOHF) announced the appointment of Sunny Ray as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, following the resignation of Shahab Samimi on August 21.
Ray, an engineer and entrepreneur with expertise in robotics, embodied AI, advanced automation, and digital assets, transitions to the CEO role from his position on the company’s board. The firm, which operates as a publicly traded investment issuer focused on building a portfolio of companies in the humanoid robotics and embodied AI sector, did not disclose the reason for Samimi’s departure.
As part of Ray’s appointment, Humanoid Global will grant him 200,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.32 per option. These options, exercisable for five years from the grant date, will vest immediately upon issuance and are subject to the company’s Stock Option Plan, regulatory approvals, and applicable securities law hold periods.
In connection with Samimi’s resignation, the company agreed to accelerate the grant and vesting of certain stock options and restricted share units under his consultant agreement. Humanoid Global will also provide pro-rata vesting of additional equity awards and fulfill consulting fees earned through his resignation date. The firm further agreed to a contingent finder’s fee related to a transaction opportunity previously introduced by Samimi.
