On October 10, 2024, Complete Solaria, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an employment letter with Daniel Foley, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (the “Employment Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Foley will be entitled to a base salary of $400,000 per year, and he will be eligible for an annual bonus of 50% of his gross salary.

Subject to the further approval by the Company’s board of directors, Mr. Foley will be granted 250,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Twenty percent of the RSUs will vest after one year, and the remaining 80% of the RSUs will vest in monthly installments over the remaining four years of the vesting schedule, in each case subject to Mr. Foley’s continued employment with the Company.

The Employment Agreement also provides that if Mr. Foley’s employment is terminated for any reason other than cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), death or disability, or if he resigns for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and provided that in either case such termination constitutes a separation from service (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then subject to Mr. Foley executing a release agreement in the Company’s favor, and continuing to comply with all of his obligations to the Company and its affiliates, Mr. Foley will receive the following benefits: (a) an amount equal to six months of his then-current base salary, less applicable withholdings, paid over a six-month period; and (b) COBRA premiums until the earliest of the six-month period following termination of his employment, expiration of his eligibility for COBRA coverage, or the date that he becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference.
