The Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Danny Schoening dated December 1, 2021. The term of the agreement commenced as of December 1, 2021 and the current term ends on November 30, 2022. Mr. Schoening’s base salary is $296,031 per annum. Mr. Schoening will be eligible for a performance bonus based upon a rolling three-year operating plan adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The bonus will be based on operating metrics decided annually by our Board and tied to such three-year plan. The target bonus equates to 30% of Mr. Schoening’s base salary. Our Board will have discretion in good faith to alter the performance bonus upward or downward by 20%.

 

The updated employment agreement also served to amend Mr. Schoening’s RSU Agreement, dated January 2, 2019, by changing the third and final vesting date for the restricted stock units granted under such agreement from January 2, 2022 to the “change of control date,” that being the first of the following to occur with respect to the Company: (i) any “Person,” as that term is defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with certain exclusions, is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (ii) the Company is merged or consolidated with any other corporation or other entity, other than: (A) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (B) the Company engages in a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no “Person” (as defined above) acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. The amended RSU Agreement contains certain exceptions to the definition of change of control.

 

The employment agreement events of termination consist of: (i) death or permanent disability of Mr. Schoening; (ii) termination by the Company for cause (including conviction of a felony, commission of fraudulent acts, willful misconduct by Mr. Schoening, continued failure to perform duties after written notice, violation of securities laws and breach of the employment agreement), (iii) termination by the Company without cause and (iv) termination by Mr. Schoening for good reason (including breach by the Company of its obligations under the agreement, the requirement for Mr. Schoening to move more than 100 miles away for his employment without consent, and merger or consolidation that results in more than 66% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or those of its successor changing ownership or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without the surviving entity assuming the obligations under the agreement). For a termination by the Company for cause or upon death or permanent disability of Mr. Schoening, Mr. Schoening will be paid salary and for a termination due to his death or permanent disability, also any bonus earned through the date of termination. For a termination by the Company without cause or by Mr. Schoening with good reason, Mr. Schoening will also be paid six months’ base salary in effect and, if such termination occurs prior to a change of control, Mr. Schoening will not forfeit the unvested RSUs until and unless the change of control does not occur by March 13, 2023.
