Existing Employment and Board Agreements

 

The Company has various employment agreements with certain of its executive officers and directors that serve as Board members, which it considers normal and in the ordinary course of business.

 

The Company has no other formal employment agreements with its executive officers, nor any compensatory plans or arrangements resulting from the resignation, retirement, or any other termination of its our named executive officers, from a change in control, or from a change in any executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control. However, it is possible that the Company will enter into formal employment agreements with its executive officers in the future.

 

Effective as of April 15, 2024, Mr. Grant Begley ceased to serve as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company and William (“Bill”) Irby entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) setting forth the terms of Bill Irby’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company effective as of April 15, 2024. As previously announced, Bill Irby had served as President of the Company, since February 12, 2024. Mr. Begley continues as Chairman of the Board of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Bill Irby will receive an annual base salary of $375,000 per year, subject to annual performance reviews by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). In accordance with the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and any related RSU award agreement, and as approved by the Compensation Committee, Mr. Irby will be eligible to receive a sign on bonus of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a fair value of up to $60,000 and a sign on performance bonus of RSUs with a fair value of up to $300,000. In addition, Mr. Irby is entitled to receive an annual performance bonus, which will be determined each year by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Irby is also provided with severance benefits in the event of termination without cause.

 

On March 6, 2024, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. entered into a letter agreement with Dawson pursuant to which Dawson has agreed to serve, on an exclusive basis for a period of four months, as the sole placement agent for the Company, in connection with the offering of equity securities and equity-linked securities of the Company, including any restructuring, exercise and/or conversion solicitation and/or renegotiating the terms of any warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and the solicitation of exercise of any additional investment right with respect to Securities of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company will pay a cash fee equal to $68,862 and issue to Dawson warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock, equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in the Offerings. These Placement Agent Warrants will have the same terms as any warrants included in any Offering except that such Placement Agent Warrants will have a five (5) year term, an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share and will not include any anti-dilution protection provisions in connection with a subsequent equity issuance, or otherwise.
