On July 2, 2024, VerifyMe, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Salary Reduction Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Adam Stedham, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and Nancy Meyers, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as part of a salary reduction program for certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Each of Mr. Stedham and Ms. Meyers will have their annual base salary reduced by ten percent (10%) during the term of the Agreements. In return for the reduction in their annual base salary, Mr. Stedham and Ms. Meyers will each be entitled to receive grants of restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) on July 1, 2024 and each 1st of January thereafter during the term of the Agreements, each such RSU representing the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to the terms of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and form RSU award agreement, with the number of shares underlying the RSU awards to be determined by dividing the projected amount of Mr. Stedham’s and Ms. Meyer’s base salary reduction for the calendar year, respectively, by $1.60, rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares. Each RSU granted pursuant to the Agreements vests in full on the 1st of January following its grant date and is payable as soon as reasonably practicable after vesting.
The term of the Agreements is until December 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Agreements, a pro-rata portion of RSUs granted will vest upon the early termination of the Agreements, or any termination of the employment of Mr. Stedham or Ms. Meyers except for a termination for cause. Any unvested RSUs will be forfeited in whole by Mr. Stedham and Ms. Meyers in the event they are terminated by the Company for cause.
The foregoing description of the Agreements and RSU awards do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Agreement and Form RSU award agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
