On January 8, 2023, upon recommendation from the compensation committee of Rezolute, Inc. (the “Company”), the full board (with Mr. Nevan Elam abstaining) approved certain amendments to the employment agreements (collectively, the “Amendments” and individually, the “Amendment”) of Messrs. Elam and Roberts, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief medical officer, respectively.

Amendments to Mr. Elam’s Employment Agreement

Pursuant to the Amendment to Mr. Elam’s employment agreement, if Mr. Elam is terminated outside of a change in control event and without cause, all of his equity in the Company that is subject to vesting conditions will have accelerated vesting for eighteen (18) months and will also have an exercise period of twelve (12) months following the occurrence of the termination event. This is a change from his previously amended employment agreement where if Mr. Elam was terminated outside of a change in control event and without cause, all of his equity in the Company that was subject to vesting conditions would have accelerated vesting for twelve (12) months and would also have an exercise period of ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the termination event.

In addition, the amendments set forth above, the Amendment to Mr. Elam’s employment agreement included a new provision where if Mr. Elam is terminated related to a change of control event, all of his equity in the Company that is subject to vesting conditions will have accelerated vesting with an exercise period of twelve (12) months following the termination event.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a termination event other than a change of control and without cause, Mr. Roberts will be entitled to, (i) a severance payment equal to twelve (12) months of salary, (ii) a pro-rata bonus payment equal to the pro-rata bonus amount earned as of the date of the termination event and (iii) twelve (12) months of COBRA.

In addition to the amendments set forth above, the Amendment to Mr. Roberts’ employment agreement includes a new provision where if Mr. Roberts is terminated related to a change of control event, all of his equity in the Company that is subject to vesting conditions will have accelerated vesting with an exercise period of six (6) months following the occurrence of the termination event. In addition, upon the occurrence of a termination event related to a change of control, Mr. Roberts will be entitled to, (i) a severance payment equal to eighteen (18) months of salary, (ii) a pro-rata bonus payment equal to the pro-rata bonus amount earned as of the date of the termination event and (iii) eighteen (18) months of COBRA.
