On April 2, 2026, Motorsport Games Inc. announced the appointment of Stephen Hood as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) through an employment agreement effective March 27, 2026. Hood will report directly to the Board of Directors and will receive an annual base salary of £378,000. In addition to his salary, Hood is eligible for an annual bonus targeted at 50% of his base salary, contingent upon the achievement of performance metrics set by the Board. The agreement also allows for potential equity awards under the company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
