Much of the same here. Minimal growth year over year, 2-3% lower salaries, not enough to really move the needle. At least they aren't getting paid based on cash receipts anymore, but this is not what the company needs to get investors excited. They're paying 6.27M per year to the CEO/COO. I think Ernesto and Chris should renegotiate their pay packages based on the below. Why not give them $2 million a year too? Why not give the secretary $1 million per year? Give all the workers $250k/year. lol.

The Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the current compensation terms for the CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, and CS. These current packages, fully detailed in the Summary Compensation Table, serve as the foundation for the upcoming negotiations:
A. Chief Executive Officer (Giorgio R. Saumat)
Base Salary: $1,758,000 per annum.
Performance Bonus: $1,447,735
Board Compensation: $28,000
B. Chief Operating Officer (Mario G. Tabraue)
Base Salary: $1,324,000 per annum.
Performance Bonus: $1,153,415
Board Compensation: $28,000
C. Chief Financial Officer (Ernesto L. Flores)
Base Salary: $160,000 per annum.
Performance Bonus: $182,000
Board Compensation: $28,000
D. Chief Technology Officer (Christopher Rose)
Base Salary: $270,000 per annum.
Performance Bonus: $20,000.
E. Company Secretary (Victoria Losada)
Base Salary: $202,020 per annum.
Performance Bonus: $20,000
Board Compensation: $28,000

I hope that any reverse split is considerably less than 1:10......1:5 would set me up pretty damn sweet!

The key things for the stock to re rate are listed in the shareholder proposal. If they pass, this stock is headed to nasdaq. Reverse sit will occur, and the stock will be $4 or more at time of uplist. With the reduction in management compensation, they are likely to add 3 to 5 million in earnings in the next 12 months. The stock is an easy double from here imo. 

Not any time soon...I think we are stuck here for a while. The revenue is not increasing a lot. I was not impressed with the executives on the call. Too many opinions that were not objective. We may see some price appreciation as we get closer to the Annual 10-K. Or if we get an institutional upgrade. But that is reaching.

Do You Think $1 pps for ETST is possible with this many shares issued and outstanding?....and if you do, do you think that it is several years away?

Good call..I'd say. SmallCaps55, I feel they addressed our concern about the Exec pay issue. Im glad it got axed..

These changes to Executive comp will help EPS a lot. From 8K this morning.

Key elements of the transformation plan include:



- Optimize the portfolio – The Company is targeting the divestiture of non-core assets to optimize capital allocation. Simultaneously, the consolidation of operating subsidiaries under unified brands is being implemented to unlock operational synergies and drive material improvements in operating margins.

- Enhance corporate governance and transparency – The Company is expanding shareholder engagement and plans to introduce a non-binding “say-on-pay” advisory vote at an upcoming shareholder meeting following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K in June 2026. While this advisory vote will provide shareholders with the opportunity to express their views on executive compensation, the Board of Directors will retain final decision-making authority.

- Optimize Capital Structure – The Company is evaluating measures to rationalize its capital structure and further align management incentives with shareholder value. Consistent with its commitment to transparency, the Company plans to hold an advisory shareholder vote on the retirement of the Series B Preferred Stock. Mr. Saumat has voluntarily agreed to abstain from voting on this proposal to ensure the integrity of the process.

- Reform Executive Compensation with Immediate Cost Reduction – To drive immediate cost reductions and enforce strict alignment with shareholders, the CEO and COO have voluntarily voided their employment contracts and waived key compensation components. Both executives will operate on an at-will basis, deferring the negotiation of new contracts until the conclusion of the July 2026 annual proxy to prioritize governance and shareholder feedback.

- Adjust Board Compensation – To demonstrate immediate fiscal responsibility, the Board of Directors has voted to reduce its compensation. To prioritize governance, the Board has also agreed to postpone the negotiation of new contracts until after the July 2026 annual proxy, allowing for the integration of shareholder feedback into future agreements.


Jeff P. H. Cazeau, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee stated, “This restructuring represents a significant maturation in Earth Science Tech’s corporate governance. By voluntarily anchoring executive pay to shareholder approval and reducing near-term fixed costs, management is sending a clear signal that they are stewards of capital first and foremost. The Board fully supports this transition toward a more transparent, performance-driven compensation model.”



Saumat continued, “The timing of these transformational actions is supported by improving financial performance and increasing operating leverage across the business. We believe the underlying momentum will become increasingly evident in our financial results over time as these changes take hold and are supported by continued disciplined cost management, accelerating revenue and stronger cash generation.”

Excellent Q. Seems from the latest PR that Executive comp is in the spotlight. Thats a good thing.

$200k for CEO and $150k for COO a month..? Thats about 1.4 cents EPS a year not provided to shareholders.

Management is taking questions from shareholders via the below link. What are some things you all would like them to answer? My biggest would be about excessive executive compensation, too many shares outstanding, being stuck on OTC due to share count and low share price.

So if you look at the recent 8k submitted by ETST on January 5th and if you read through the press release about Haden IR public relations...please look at the link in the press release and provided here in this post and take a close look at the PDF file available for a company called CELSIUS.........https://haydenir.com/case-studies/

Retail never gets a good buy order like that to fill

This is a pretty big f-up. Must have been market sell order. $850 mistake.

Who in the Hell is able to get a trade to go through first thing in the morning on December 3rd 2025 for 0.001 per share??? $5 and nabbed 5,000 shares....how can that happen?!!!

Great day for this one. Only 1 cent from the 52wk high of .247. Nice to see that HOD close. I been accumalating this one for awhile now. Could be part of the buyback going on here today. Seems pretty quiet.

Looks good

The quarterly bonuses are only paid out if certain metrics and growth goals are met. I'm perfectly fine with incentives that reward efforts and results. Did you see that today January 27 that the price hit .247 cents in intraday trading? It's been on a slow steady climb the past few months. And insiders are loading up big time purchasing shares on the open market.

Not to mention they also are entitled to quarterly bonuses of 17% of top line revenue. Personally, this raises a huge red flag and makes me question the investability of ETST but curious to hear others thoughts

New 8K...$200k monthly salary and $150k Monthly salary respectively for two board members...WTF???https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1538495/000149315224052476/form8-k.htm

Check out the date of the sales and you can compare it to previous 10q's. It's old (2 yrs) and must be to clean those up sec wise. The shares arent registered (restricted) and have been existence for a couple years. They have always been accounted for in the o/s though, so nothing new. 

I don't understand this private offering and the intentions behind it?https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1538495/000149315224042246/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

Company is expanding into compounded pet medications, real estate, and fintech. They appear to be diversifying into other / complimentary industries. This should bode well for continuing revenue and profit growth.

I have no idea how big the pet compounded medicine market is worth, thus no idea how to value that addition to the company.

The real estate / fintech company probably does less than 5m rev/year just based on reviewing their site.

Peaks orders are up well over 400% in the past couple months based on order #s. This part of the company is transitioning quite well into profit generation.

In all, the companies future appears bright, even with the FDA shutting down Tirzepatide compounding. The pet compounding market, if it works, could double or even triple quarterly revenues, especially if they partner with some larger veterinarians.

Although on paper, that look ridiculous, this is actually less than their previous contract. The previous contract was 31.5% of revenue. This is 30% of cash, meaning the cash after gross margin, SGA, etc. So with this contract it's a meaningful cut. Still too much in my opinion, but they are doing a great job at running the country and growing revs/profits.

So it was reported today in an 8K filing that two individuals are going to be receiving (30%) of the cash receipts from the company moving forward so long as the profits increase quarter over quarter. That's something that I have never seen before. Is this par for the course with start-ups?

Yes if you've been paying attention to the shares on dtc you will see th reductions in shares. The last official reduction and retiring of shares on dtc was for around 720k shares. He doesn't report price per buy, but in the 10qs and 10k they will report how much they paid for retiring the shares.

So is Avenvi LLC purchasing the shares on the open market on the down-low since it's a private firm??? Giorgio R. Saumat runs that private company and I haven't seen any publications of him making any purchases recently on the Edgar Financial pages...the most recent insider purchase reported was made August 8th and reported on the 9th.

Company buyback. Did you see the latest o/s update on otcmarkets.com? Company bought back and retired over 700k shares from the dtc. Honestly at the price they bought them back, they could buy the entire dtc float and still have money leftover in their 5m buy back program. They're likely trying to buy back as much as possible now before share price rises too much.

Where is all of this volume coming from today 8/16/24 that wasn't there earlier in the week??

Thanks a lot for your explanation

Volume is pretty low and it is a pink sheets stock. You have to realize this trades with what is called, unsolicited quotes. That means that the bid and ask are actually real people making buy and sell orders. There are no market makers providing guaranteed liquidity. So basically this trades pretty thin. Once they uplist to QX, market makers will likely accumulate shares to provide guaranteed liquidity and a better bid ask spread. And eventually some institutions will also buy, but not until this is trading above 5 dollars. Be it either naturally rising or by reverse split. Not sure the company is interested in reverse splitting or listing on higher exchange than QX because there is zero need for raising money via share offering. So in all likelihood the company will become a sort of tier 1 stock on QX within 3 years, and imo will be a minimum of a dollar. The float keeps getting bought and those that want to get out are selling to insiders or the lucky ones on the bid. If you're patient enough you could just throw out some low bids to see if they get sold to.

Then does anyone know why this stock has been going south for the last few weeks?
