Board Changes

 

On August 12, 2019, PolarityTE, Inc. (the “Company”) received from Dr. Denver M. Lough (“Dr. Lough”) a written demand claiming that actions taken by the Board of Directors to place him on administrative leave, and deprive him of the authority to grant salary raises to Company employees, approve capital expenditures, engage outside consultants or advisors, and supervise the legal department constitute the assignment of duties that are substantially different from, or that result in a substantial diminution of the duties originally assigned to him as Chief Executive Officer, giving him grounds to terminate for “good reason” the Executive Employment Agreement between the Company and Dr. Lough dated November 10, 2017 (the “EEA”), and demanding the foregoing actions be rescinded within 30 days. On August 21, 2019, the Company and Dr. Lough reached a settlement resolving Dr. Lough’s demand and his status with the Company. The following are the principal terms of the agreement:

 

  The EEA is terminated, except for specific sections that survive termination, including:

 

  Section 12 pertaining to non-disclosure of confidential information;
     
  Section 13 pertaining to non-competition and non-solicitation; and
     
  Section 15(b) pertaining to indemnification for service to the Company.

 

  The Company and Dr. Lough agreed to release all claims against one another, known or unknown as of August 21, 2019.
     
  Dr. Lough agreed that until April 1, 2021, he will not vote his shares of Company stock against any proposal or matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval that is recommended by a majority of the Board of Directors for approval, or vote his shares of Company stock for any proposal or matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company that a majority of the Board of Directors does not recommend for approval, subject to making .
     
  Dr. Lough resigned all of his offices with the Company and from the Board of Directors, which was accepted by the Board of Directors effective on August 26, 2019. Steve Gorlin and David Seaburg resigned from their positions as Directors of the Company at the same time. Mr. Gorlin was serving on the Compensation Committee at the time of his resignation. Further, Dr. Jon Mogford will agree to resign as a director on or before July 31, 2020.
     
  In the event the Company pursues a future financing through an investment banking firm, Dr. Lough agreed to sign any lock-up agreement requested by the investment banker that contains the same terms as a lock-up agreement signed by the Directors of the Company.
     
  Dr. Lough will be paid $1,500,000 in cash on October 1, 2019 and paid an additional $1,500,000 payable in equal monthly installments beginning November 1, 2019 and ending April 1, 2021. In addition, the Company will award to Dr. Lough 200,000 restricted stock units that vest in 18 equal monthly installments beginning October 1, 2019.
     
  Dr. Lough is entitled to receive a 5% participation payment on profits generated from commercial transactions (sales or licenses to third parties) associated with U.S. Patent Application No. 14/954,335 and PCT International Patent Application No. PCT/US2015/063114 on and following the final issuance by the USPTO of a United States Patent under U.S. Patent Application No. 14/954,335, all as determined pursuant to the terms and conditions in Section 6(B) of the EEA.
     
  The Company and Dr. Lough are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement dated March 6, 2018, as amended March 14, 2019, that grants to Dr. Lough the right to demand registration of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that he owns for resale. The Agreement reiterates that right. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 60 days following a request from Dr. Lough, and the Company received such a request on August 23, 2019.

 

Appointment of President 

 

On August 26, 2019, after the resignations of Dr. Lough, Mr. Gorlin and Mr. Seaburg from the Board of Directors, the remaining directors appointed David Seaburg to the position of President of the Company. In that capacity he will continue to serve as a member of the Office of Chief Executive for the Company.
