Appointment of Chief Business Officer

 

On February 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the board of directors (the “Board”) of Conversion Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Corey Deutsch (“Deutsch”), the Company’s current Head of Corporate Development, to serve as the Company’s Chief Business Officer (the “Appointment”).

 

Corey Deutsch, age 27

 

Corey Deutsch has over 5 years of experience in various healthcare finance roles. In May 2020, Corey Deutsch founded a long only hedge fund focused exclusively on the healthcare end-market. From June 2019 through June 2020, Mr. Deutsch served as an investment professional at Amulet Capital Partners, a healthcare focused private equity firm. From November 2018 to June 2019, Mr. Deutsch was an investment professional for Arsenal Capital Partners, a middle-market healthcare private equity firm. From June 2016 to November 2018, Mr. Deutsch was an investment banker at MTS Health Partners, a boutique investment bank focused on the healthcare sector. Mr. Deutsch is also currently an advisor for Heat Biologics, an oncology focused pharmaceutical Company. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.A. in economics.

 

The Board believes that Mr. Deutsch’s experience in healthcare finance makes him ideally qualified to help lead the Company towards continued growth and success as the Company continues to build its telemedicine platform.

 

On December 3, 2020, the Company and Deutsch entered into that Certain Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) whereby Deutsch was hired to serve as a consultant to assist with the Company’s marketing, call center, data analytics and corporate and business development efforts (the “Consulting Services”). As partial consideration for the Consulting Services, Deutsch received a Stock Option (the “Consulting Stock Option”) to purchase up to 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock of which 25,000 shares have vested (the “Vested Consulting Options”) and 50,000 have not vested (the “Unvested Consulting Options”).

 

On January 14, 2021, the Company entered into that certain employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Deutsch whereby Mr. Deutsch assumed the role of Head of Corporate Development. The Employment Agreement is for an indefinite term and may be terminated with or without cause. The Consulting Agreement was terminated upon effectiveness of the Employment Agreement and the Consulting Agreement is of no further force or effect.

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Deutsch will receive an annual base salary of $175,000.00. Mr. Deutsch shall be eligible to earn a performance bonus in such amount, if any, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Deutsch was granted a stock option to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Employee Stock Options”). The Stock Options were to vest in equal monthly tranches, based on the passage of time, over the 36 months following the Effective Date. Upon termination of Mr. Deutsch without cause, the Company shall pay or provide to Mr. Deutsch severance pay equal to his then current monthly base salary for four months from the date of termination, during which time Mr. Deutsch shall continue to receive all employee benefits and employee benefit plans as described in the Employment Agreement. As a full-time employee of the Company, Mr. Deutsch will be eligible to participate in all of the Company’s benefit programs.

 

 
 

 

On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment to the Employment Agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) specifically to (i) reduce the number of Employee Stock Options awarded to Deutsch to 175,000, from 200,000 (the “Stock Options”) in recognition that Deutsch had already received the Vested Consulting Options, and (ii) change Deutsch’s title and role from Head of Corporate Development to Chief Business Officer. No other substantive changes were made to the Employment Agreement.

 

As a result of the Appointment, given the Board’s acknowledgement of the role of Chief Business Officer as an executive officer position, the Company has determined that the Amended Employment Agreement to be material.

 

Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains only a brief description of the material terms of and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties to the Employment Agreement and the Amended Employment Agreement, and such descriptions is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement and the Amended Deutsch Employment Agreement, a copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, forms the complete and exclusive statement of Employee’s employment agreement with the Company. It supersedes any other agreements, representations or promises made to Employee by anyone, whether oral or written. Changes in Employee’s employment terms, other than those changes expressly reserved to the Company’s discretion in this Agreement, require a written modification signed by an officer of the Company.

 

12. Force Majeure. Neither of the Parties shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform hereunder, which delay or failure is due to causes beyond the control of said Party, including, but not limited to: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the United States of America or any state, territory or political subdivision thereof or of the District of Columbia; fires; floods; epidemics, quarantine restrictions; strike or freight embargoes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, in every case the delay or failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party claiming excusable delay.

 

13. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute in a commercially reasonable fashion before instituting any litigation or arbitration (with the exception of emergency injunctive relief). If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, then the parties agree to mediate the dispute with a mutually agreed upon mediator in New York, NY. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within ten (10) days after either party shall first request commencement of mediation, each party will select a mediator within five (5) days thereof, and those mediators shall select the mediator to be used. The mediation shall be scheduled within thirty (30) days following the selection of the mediator. The parties further agree that any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled for the period of time from the date mediation is requested until 14 days following the mediation. If the mediation does not resolve the dispute, then the parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree to the arbitration provisions in Section 14.

14. Arbitration. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment with the Company, Employee and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Company, or the termination of Employee’s employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by JAMS or its successor, under JAMS’ then applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes (available upon request and also currently available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules- employment-arbitration/). The arbitration will take place in New York, NY unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Employee acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Employee and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this section, whether by Employee or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, including, without limitation, claims brought pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended, and the California Labor Code, as amended, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). In the event Employee intends to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Employee will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Employee or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Employee would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Employee or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration.

 

15. Successors.

 

(a) No rights or obligations of Employee under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Employee other than Employee’s rights to payments or benefits hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon Employee’s death, this Agreement and all rights of Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any such person succeeds to Employee’s interests under this Agreement. Subject to compliance with the terms of any Company sponsored benefit plan, Employee shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive following Employee’s death any benefit or compensation payable hereunder by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Employee’s death or a judicial determination of Employee’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Employee shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to Employee’s beneficiary(ies), estate or other legal representative(s).

 

7
 

 

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(c) The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets, and any such successor shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof.

 

16. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of New York.

 

17. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.
