Reback Employment Agreement. We have entered into an employment agreement with Matt Reback to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. The Reback employment agreement provides for, among other things (i) a three-year term, expiring in November 2026, (ii) a base compensation of $350,000 per year, (iii) annual discretionary bonus target of up to 50% of his base salary, with the opportunity to earn additional amounts if certain financial objectives are achieved, (iv) a grant of base options to purchase 400,000 shares of Employer's restricted common stock with a strike price equal to the price per share of Employer's common stock as reported on OTC Markets on the date such option is granted, which option will vest as follows: (a) as to the first 100,000 shares of stock, on November 13, 2024, (b) as to the next 100,000 shares of stock, on November 13, 2025, (c) as to the next 100,000 shares of stock, on November 13, 2026, and (d) as to the next 100,000 shares of stock, on November 13, 2027 all pursuant to the terms of a Stock Option Grant Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Reback, and (v) eligibility to participate in the employee benefit plans available to our employees. Under the Reback employment agreement, we agreed to pay a minimum bonus of $80,000 to Mr. Reback for the 2024 calendar year if 80% of the annual bonus target is achieved. Under the Reback employment agreement, Mr. Reback received a stock award that is eligible to vest based on achievement of performance-based vesting conditions (the “Long-Term Incentive Stock Grant”). The award is eligible to vest based on personal and business performance targets to be established by the Board for each of 2024, 2025 and 2026. The targets, if achieved, will provide Mr. Reback the opportunity to receive a total of 70,000 shares of common stock for calendar year 2024, 100,000 shares of common stock for calendar year 2025, and 130,000 shares of common stock for calendar year 2026, with final vesting determined following the assessment of achievement of the performance objectives during the first quarter of the following calendar year. To the extent any portion of this stock award remains outstanding at the effective time of the merger with Evolution Malta Holding Limited, such portion will convert into a contingent cash award at the effective time and will remain subject to the same vesting conditions, subject to the acceleration terms described below.
The Reback employment agreement provides that upon termination of employment by Mr. Reback for good reason or by the Company for any reason other than Mr. Reback’s death or disability or other than for cause, Mr. Reback is entitled to receive cash severance payments equal to 12 months of his annual base salary at the time of termination and continuation of his medical and health insurance benefits for a period equal to the lesser of (x) 12 months and (y) the period ending on the date he first becomes entitled to medical and health insurance benefits under any plan maintained by any person for whom Mr. Reback provides services as an employee or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing severance benefits, if Mr. Reback’s employment is terminated without cause following a change of control
(including the merger with Evolution Malta Holding Limited), he is also entitled to: (i) additional cash severance payments equal in the aggregate to 12 months of his annual base salary at the time of termination and (ii) accelerated vesting of his “base” stock options granted under the Reback employment agreement. In addition, if the effective time occurs and Mr. Reback is not retained or is not provided the continuing opportunity to earn his stock award (or any contingent cash award issued to Mr. Reback in consideration of his stock award at the effective time), Mr. Reback will vest in the earned portion of such award (for any calendar year completed prior to the effective time) or if a calendar year is not yet complete (or has not commenced) as of the effective time of the merger Evolution Malta Holding Limited, the remaining unearned portion of the award.
On December 27, 2024, the Reback employment agreement was amended to provide for, among other things, (i) the accelerated vesting of certain of Mr. Reback’s performance-based equity awards granted pursuant to our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan on December 31, 2025, resulting in the vesting of 70,000 shares of common stock for calendar year 2025, and (ii) an accelerated bonus payment of $175,000 payable prior to December 31, 2025, in each case, subject to the conditions set forth in the amendment to the Reback employment agreement.

The option will vest in equal installments over a three-year period, commencing on May 28, 2025.
Mr. Kopjo's employment agreement term ends in May 2027. The Kopjo employment agreement provides that upon termination of employment by Mr. Kopjo for good reason or by the Company for any reason other than Mr. Kopjo’s death or disability or other than for cause, Mr. Kopjo is entitled to receive cash severance payments equal to 12 months of his annual base salary at the time of termination and continuation of his medical and health insurance benefits for a period equal to the lesser of (x) 12 months and (y) the period ending on the date he first becomes entitled to medical and health insurance benefits under any plan maintained by any person for whom Mr. Kopjo provides services as an employee or otherwise.
