Item 5.02: Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
As of August 4, 2025, Aeluma, Inc. (the “Company”), has appointed Christopher Stewart (“Stewart”) as its full time Chief Financial Officer (CFO)/Principal Accounting Officer, taking over for Mr. James Seo (“Seo”) who was serving as interim CFO/Principal Accounting Officer. There are no family relationships between Stewart, Seo, and any of the Company’s directors or other executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between Stewart and any other person pursuant to which Stewart was selected as CFO. There have been no transactions involving Stewart that would be required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Company will enter into a standard indemnification agreement with him.
Stewart shall receive an annual salary of $300,000, to be paid on a bi-monthly basis, an option to purchase 110,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and 55,000 restricted stock units subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, all as set forth in his employment agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Prior to joining the Company, Stewart was the CFO at LeddarTech Holdings Inc., an AI-driven software company that Stewart helped lead through a public market debut. Prior roles include CFO of Bionano Genomics, Inc., as well as senior financial leadership roles at Maxwell Technologies (acquired by Tesla), Entropic Communications (acquired by Maxlinear), and Intel. Stewart holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Southern California and an M.B.A. from Carnegie Mellon University. Given Stewart’s experience, the Company believes that he is qualified to serve as CFO and Principal Accounting Officer.
