As a result of the required increases, the base salary of Mr. Goodman was increased to $174,240 per year, and the base salary of Ms. Feng was increased to $145,200 per year, each effective September 1, 2023.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2022 (the “November 2022 Form 8-K”), on October 27, 2022, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Aaron Richard Johnston, a then director of the Company and current consultant of the Company, among other things, 300,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”). The RSUs were to vest to Mr. Johnston, if ever, upon the closing of a transaction that, on a pro forma basis, doubles the Company’s revenues for the fiscal quarter prior to the closing of the acquisition (a “Doubling Transaction”), provided that such RSUs were to be terminated and forfeited if such Doubling Transaction did not close prior to November 1, 2023 (the “Termination Date”). On October 20, 2023, in consideration for Mr. Johnston’s continued services in connection with the Company’s previously announced January 2023 Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital, as amended from time to time, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to extend the Termination Date of the RSUs to May 1, 2024.
The RSUs are described in greater detail in the November 2022 Form 8-K.
