In connection with Bruce Rosenbloom’s transition services and subsequent separation from employment with the Company, on August 2, 2022, PetMed Express, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mr. Rosenbloom enter into a CFO Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Rosenbloom will remain in his current position as CFO of the Company through and including August 2, 2022, and following the termination of his status as CFO, Mr. Rosenbloom will continue to serve as an employee of the Company to provide transition services to the Company through his date of termination. His employment will end on the first to occur, of December 31, 2022 or such earlier date of termination as is determined by the Company at the Company’s sole discretion (“Separation Date”). While Mr. Rosenbloom serves as an employee of the Company, he will continue to receive his current base salary and benefits as currently in effect.
 
In the event that the Separation Date occurs either (i) on December 31, 2022 or (ii) as a result of any earlier termination of Mr. Rosenbloom’s employment due to a termination by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Agreement), subject to Mr. Rosenbloom’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and with applicable restrictive covenants, and the performance of transition services, the Company has agreed to provide Mr. Rosenbloom with the following payments and benefits: (A) twelve months’ severance pay at his current base salary, paid in two equal lump-sums, with the first such payment to be paid on the Company’s next payroll date following the Separation Date, and the second to be paid on the Company’s next payroll date six-months following the Separation Date, (B) payment equal to the cost of COBRA premiums for Mr. Rosenbloom and his dependents until the earliest of (i) the last day of the period ending on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Separation Date, or (ii) the date when Mr. Rosenbloom becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment; (C) reducing the restriction period on an aggregate of Mr. Rosenbloom’s 13,275 outstanding restricted shares issued under the 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan to end on the Separation Date, and (D) reducing his existing non-compete obligation following employment with the Company to a period of 12 months.
 
The entire Company thanks Mr. Rosenbloom for his dedication, his leadership, and his myriad contributions to the growth and success of our organization over the past two decades, and we wish him the very best.
