On September 10, 2020, the board of directors (the “Board”) of ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized and approved certain changes to the Company’s non-employee director compensation program, as described below (the “New Director Compensation Program”), in order to better align directors’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

Effective July 1, 2020, for the period of each calendar year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following calendar year (each, a “Director Compensation Year”), the Company’s non-employee directors will be entitled to receive, at their election (with such elections to be made no later than the June 15 preceding each Director Compensation Year), either: (i) a $30,000 annual cash service retainer (to be paid in quarterly installments during the applicable Director Compensation Year beginning September 30 of such Director Compensation Year) plus stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or (B) zero cash compensation and stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Stock options granted under the New Director Compensation Program will be granted under the Company’s 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) with an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Directors’ Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which will be July 1 of each such Director Compensation Year (other than with respect to the current Director Compensation Year (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021)), as described below).

In accordance with their respective elections for the current Director Compensation Year, Messrs. Barr and Hirsch were granted a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and Dr. Gleckel was granted a stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, effective September 10, 2020 (the “Grant Date”), each with an exercise price equal to $2.83, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, and expiring seven years from the Grant Date.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
