This Form 8-K/A amends and restates in its entirety Item 1.01 under the subsection titled Stock Award in Lieu of Unpaid Directors’ Fees of the Original Form 8-K. Other than the correction to that date, the remainder of the Original Form 8-K remains unchanged.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Stock Award in Lieu of Unpaid Directors’ Fees
On May 31, 2024 the Board approved a Stock in Lieu of Unpaid Director's program fees that would allow for the granting of a total of 261,619 shares of stock to the non-employee Board members common in lieu of unpaid non-employee director service fees earned during the calendar year ending December 31, 2023. In aggregate the Company owed the three non-employee board members $172,670 in fees; Alison Cornell was due $62,789, Nola Masterson was due $56,062, and Chris Maggiore was due $53,819. These unpaid amounts were grossed up for taxes at an assumed tax rate of 45% and the number of shares was determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on December 29, 2023 of $1.20 per share. On June 5, 2024, all the non-employee directors accepted the following grants in lieu of the unpaid cash service fees:
Non-employee Board Member | Shares Awarded |
Alison Cornell | 95,134 |
Chris Maggiore | 81,544 |
Nola Masterson | 84,941 |
The value of the shares granted to the non-employee directors pursuant to this exchange of stock in lieu of unpaid cash fees were exempted from the annual limitation of awards to non-employee directors set forth in the Director Equity Plan. These shares awards will be issued under the Director Equity Plan and will be subject to provisions thereof.
