  Salary. For all of the services to be rendered by the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary equal to $140,000 (the “Base Salary”). The compensation paid hereunder to the Executive shall be paid in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and shall be subject to the customary withholding taxes and other employment taxes as required with respect to compensation paid by a corporation to an employee. The Base Salary will be subject to annual review and adjustment by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) based upon the Executive’s performance.

 

 

 

 

5.       Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to vacation of up to 15 days per calendar year, pursuant to the applicable Company policy. All vacations shall be in addition to recognized national holidays. During all vacations, the Executive’s compensation and other benefits as stated herein shall continue to be paid in full. Such vacations shall be taken only at times convenient for the Company, as approved by the Executive Chairman.

 

6.       Company Benefit Programs. In addition to the compensation and to the rights provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in each plan of the Company now or hereafter adopted and in effect from time to time for the benefit of executive employees of the Company, to the extent permitted by such plans and by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s right to amend, modify and/or terminate any benefit plan, policies or programs at any time for any reason.

 

7.       Restrictive Covenants and Need for Protection. Executive acknowledges that, because of her senior executive position with the Company, she has or will develop knowledge of the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and their relationships with dealers, distributors and customers such that she could do serious damage to the financial welfare of the Company and/or its subsidiaries should he compete or assist others in competing with the business of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. Consequently, and in consideration of her employment with the Company, and for the benefits she is to receive under this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which she hereby acknowledges, the Executive agrees as follows:

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the Executive’s ability to respond to a lawful subpoena; to make a report to or cooperate with any government agency, including without limitation the ability to participate in an investigation, provide information, and recover any remuneration awarded for doing so; and to comply with any other legal obligations.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “plan,” “will,” “may,” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make our regarding strategy for growth and long-term shareholder value.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) our ability to grow net sales as anticipated and perform in accordance with guidance; (ii) our ability to generate sufficient revenue to support our operations and to raise additional funds or obtain other forms of financing as needed on acceptable terms, or at all; (iii) potential difficulties or delays we may experience in implementing our cost savings and efficiency initiatives, including integrating the AXIL brand; (iv) our ability to compete effectively with other hair and skincare companies and hearing enhancement and protection companies; (v) the concentration of our customers, potentially increasing the negative impact to us by changing purchasing or selling patterns; (vi) changes in laws or regulations in the United States and/or in other major markets, such as China, in which we operate, including, without limitation, with respect to taxes, tariffs, trade policies or product safety, which may increase our product costs and other costs of doing business, and reduce our earnings; and (vi) the impact of unstable market and general economic conditions on our business, financial condition and stock price, including inflationary cost pressures, decreased discretionary consumer spending, supply chain disruptions and constraints, labor shortages, ongoing economic disruption, including the effects of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and ongoing impact of COVID-19, and other downturns in the business cycle or the economy. Other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
