Other Information
On August 14, 2025, the board of directors of the Company appointed Joshua Silverman, who serves as the Company’s Executive Chairman, to the position of Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. For the information required by Items 401(b), (d), and (e) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), see the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2025, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with Mr. Silverman’s position as Chief Executive Officer, on August 14, 2025, the Company entered into an executive compensation agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Silverman setting forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Silverman’s employment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement has a three-year initial term commencing on August 14, 2025, which term automatically renews each year for successive one-year terms, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.
The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Silverman will be entitled to receive an annual base salary of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) (“Base Salary”) effective as of January 1, 2025, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. For each fiscal year during the employment period, Mr. Silverman is eligible to receive an annual bonus upon achievement of target objectives and performance criteria, payable on or before March 15 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which the bonus relates. The Employment Agreement also entitles Mr. Silverman to receive customary benefits and reimbursement for ordinary business expenses.
In connection with Mr. Silverman’s appointment, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Silverman long-term incentive awards under the Company’s long-term equity incentive plan (the “LTIP”) on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board and the Compensation Committee in their sole discretion. For each fiscal year during the employment period, Mr. Silverman shall receive annual long-term incentive awards under the LTIP of up to 300% of his Base Salary upon achievement of target objectives and performance criteria established by the Board in their sole discretion, subject to and governed by the terms and provisions of the LTIP as in effect from time to time and the award agreements evidencing such awards
In the event Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Silverman without Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) , Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) any earned but unpaid Base Salary earned during his employment and applicable to all pay periods prior to the termination date, and (ii) any unpaid expense reimbursements and vested amounts and benefits in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan, program, corporate governance document, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company (collectively, “Accrued Compensation”).
If Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the term by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Silverman for Good Reason, then, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement (including the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims), Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) Accrued Compensation; (ii) severance equal to two times the sum of (A) Mr. Silverman’s Base Salary in effect at the time his employment terminates and (B) the target bonus for the year of termination prorated based upon the number of days worked for the year of termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards.
If Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the term by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Silverman for Good Reason within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or within six (6) months prior to a Change in Control, Mr. Silverman will be entitled to: (i) Accrued Compensation; (ii) severance equal to three times the sum of (A) Mr. Silverman’s Base Salary in effect at the time his employment terminates and (B) the target bonus for the year of termination prorated based upon the number of days worked for the year of termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards.
The Employment Agreement also contains customary provisions relating to, among other things, confidentiality and non-disparagement.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Silverman and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer.
