On June 6, 2024, RenovoRx, Inc. (the “Company”) and Ronald B. Kocak, the Company’s Vice President, Controller and Principal Accounting Officer (“Kocak”) entered into a Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, was entered into in order to afford Kocak benefits similar to the Company’s other executive officers. All capitalized terms used in this Report with respect to the Agreement which are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, upon:
(a) a termination of Kocak’s employment with the Company either (i) by the Company without Cause and other than due to Kocak’s death or Disability, or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason (a “Qualifying Termination”), Kocak shall be entitled to receive (1) a single, lump sum, cash payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of Kocak’s Annual Base Compensation, (2) a single, lump sum, cash payment equal to the product of (A) Kocak’s Target Bonus, if any, that the Kocak would have earned for the entire fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs; (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Kocak was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year, and (3) six months of COBRA coverage; and
(b) a Qualifying Termination within one year of a Change in Control, Kocak shall be entitled to receive (1) a single, lump sum, cash payment equal to one percent (100%) of Kocak’s Annual Base Compensation, (2) twelve months of COBRA coverage, and (3) vesting acceleration of one hundred percent (100%) of any Equity Awards held by Kocak that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.
The payment and receipt of the foregoing benefits is subject to customary conditions, including Kocak’s execution of a separation and release of claims agreement. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto, which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
