NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 16, 2018, our board of directors approved the Amended and Restated 2015 Executive Employment Agreement with Ted Karkus, our Chief Executive Officer (the “Amended Employment Agreement”), which became effective February 23, 2018, subject to stockholder approval at a special meeting of stockholder to be held April 12, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Karkus has voluntarily agreed to reduce his base salary from the rate set forth in the 2015 Employment Agreement (i.e., not less than $675,000 per annum) to a base salary of $125,000 per annum (the “Term Base Salary”) through February 22, 2021. Unless otherwise determined by the mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Karkus, on February 22, 2021 and thereafter, Mr. Karkus’ salary will increase from the Term Base Salary to not less than $675,000 per annum.
In consideration of Mr. Karkus’ voluntary reduction in salary, our board of directors granted Mr. Karkus a stock option to purchase 2,300,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share on February 23, 2018 (the “Executive Stock Option”). The Executive Stock Option will vest and be exercisable in 35 equal monthly installments of 63,888 shares and one monthly installment of 63,290 shares, subject to his continued employment, and subject to accelerated vesting in the event Mr. Karkus’s employment is terminated for any reason other than by us for Cause or by Mr. Karkus without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Amended Employment Agreement). The Executive Stock Option will be exercisable for a five year term commencing on the date of grant. The Executive Stock Option will be granted pursuant to the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which was also adopted and approved by our board of directors on February 16, 2018. The 2018 Plan, like the Amended Employment Agreement, is subject to the stockholder approval. The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,300,000 shares pursuant to stock options granted under the 2018 Plan. |
