Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 9, 2024, Laura Pitlik provided notice to Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (“Arcadia”) of her resignation as Arcadia’s chief marketing officer, effective as of March 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). On February 13, 2024, Arcadia and Ms. Pitlik entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, in consideration for Ms. Pitlik entering into and not revoking the Separation Agreement, Arcadia agreed to pay Ms. Pitlik a cash severance payment equal to $62,500, less applicable withholdings, taxes and other lawful deductions, payable in a lump sum after the Separation Date and after the expiration of the applicable revocation period (or otherwise as provided in the Separation Agreement). Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Separation Agreement includes a general release of claims by Ms. Pitlik and customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.

On February 8, 2024, Arcadia’s Board of Directors approved retention bonuses of $87,500 for Stanley Jacot, Jr., Arcadia’s chief executive officer, and $65,000 for Thomas J. Schaefer, Arcadia’s chief financial officer. In order for either of these executive officers to be eligible for a retention bonus, such executive officer must remain employed by Arcadia in good standing until the earlier to occur of (i) a Change in Control of Arcadia and (ii) December 31, 2024. For purposes of these retention bonuses, the term “Change in Control” has the same meaning as the term “Change in Control” under the Severance and Change of Control Agreement, dated February 2, 2022, between Arcadia and Mr. Jacot (the “CIC Agreement”). The CIC Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K that Arcadia filed on February 7, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference.
