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

On February 10, 2021, we agreed on a transition agreement with Karl E. Johnsen, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, providing for Mr. Johnsen’s continued employment through June 30, 2021 (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed). During this transition period (i) Mr. Johnsen will be paid his current compensation and benefits and (ii) Mr. Johnsen’s outstanding equity grants will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. Also, if Mr. Johnsen continues to be employed by us through the end of this transition period, he will be entitled to receive a grant of vested restricted stock units with a value of $250,000, as well as the additional compensation and benefits to which he would have been entitled under his existing executive retention agreement with us had we terminated his employment as of the last day of such period without cause.

During the transition period, Mr. Johnsen will continue in his role as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer until otherwise determined by us, including if we appoint a new chief financial officer. We have initiated a search for a new chief financial officer, using an executive search firm to assist in the search.
