SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 12, 2018, we executed amendments to the employment agreement with our executive officers, William Febbo, Miriam Paramore, Terry Hamilton and Doug Baker. The majority of the updates reflect previously disclosed changes that had not yet been incorporated into the written agreements.

 

As a universal and new change, the Company’s bonus plan was amended to include a change of control bonus ranging from $0 to up to $750,000, depending on the transaction price, for each of these four executive officers, if a change of control transaction occurs in either 2018 or 2019.

 

We also increased the salary for Ms. Paramore from $220,000 annually to $250,000 annually retroactive to August 1, 2018.

 

Except as described above, the terms of the respective employment agreements with our executive officers remain in full force and effect.

 

The foregoing description of the amendments to employment agreements with Mr. Febbo, Ms. Paramore, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Baker does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the amendments to employment agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
