Resignation of Director

On September 2, 2022, Daniel Shribman resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Shribman’s decision to resign was based on personal reasons and was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Appointment of Director

On September 7, 2022, the Board appointed Jeffrey Bornstein, age 57, to the Board. Mr. Bornstein will serve as a Class III director with a term that expires at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. With this appointment, the Board has seven directors. Mr. Bornstein will also serve on the Audit Committee as chairman. The Board has determined that Mr. Bornstein qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market and under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the Board has determined that Mr. Bornstein qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Bornstein was not selected as a director pursuant to any arrangements or understandings with the Company or with any other person, and there are no transactions between the Company and Mr. Bornstein that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Bornstein will be compensated for his services on the Board in accordance with the Amended Director Compensation Policy (as defined below). In addition, in connection with his appointment as the chairman of the Audit Committee, Mr. Bornstein will receive a grant of restricted stock units that settle in shares of Class A common stock of the Company, valued at $35,000, which vest, subject to continued service, on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date and (ii) immediately prior to the date of the next annual shareholders meeting of the Company following the grant date (with accelerated vesting on a change in control).

The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Bornstein on the same basis as each of the Company’s other directors.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Adoption of Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy

On September 7, 2022, the Board approved certain amendments to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Amended Director Compensation Policy”). The Amended Director Compensation Policy provides for additional equity compensation, in the form of stock options, to be paid to any chairperson of the Board or one of its committees (the “Chairperson Grants”). The chairperson of the Board or the Audit Committee are eligible to receive a Chairperson Grant valued at $50,000 and the chairperson of the compensation committee or the nominating committee are eligible to receive a Chairperson Grant valued at $25,000. Members of the Board who begin serving as a chairperson later than the second trading day following the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders will be eligible to receive a pro-rated Chairperson Grant. In no event will a member of the Board be eligible to receive more than one Chairperson Grant with respect to an applicable year.

Chairperson Grants will vest on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the grant date, (y) immediately prior to the date of the next annual shareholders meeting of the Company, or (z) a change in control, in each case subject to the director’s continued service through such vesting date.

The foregoing description of the Amended Director Compensation Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Amended Director Compensation Policy. The Amended Director Compensation Policy is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and are each incorporated herein by reference.
