The Board also increased the size of the Board to five directors as of August 19, 2019, and appointed Ms. McDonnell to fill the vacancy created as of such date.

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Ms. McDonnell, dated as of July 24, 2019, in connection with Ms. McDonnell’s appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to her employment agreement, Ms. McDonnell’s salary will be $400,000 per year and she is eligible for an annual cash bonus targeted at 100% of her salary and an annual equity bonus targeted at $500,000 in restricted stock units, which amounts may be adjusted by the Board of Directors based on Ms. McDonnell’s performance against goals established by the Board of Directors. Upon her hire date, Ms. McDonnell will receive a grant of restricted stock units totaling $2,000,000 in value using the Company’s closing stock price on the day preceding her hire date.
