Transition of Chief Financial Officer and Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

On September 30, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Brian Brown, the Company’s current Chief Accounting Officer, as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective November 15, 2022 (the “Transition Effective Date”). Mr. Brown will replace Julie Booth, who will cease to be the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on the Transition Effective Date.

The Company has agreed that following the Transition Effective Date, Ms. Booth will transition into a strategic advisory role, for which her annual salary will be $100,000, she will continue to vest in her outstanding equity awards and she will be eligible for other compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees. She will remain eligible for her existing pro-rated bonus for 2022 based on the period she serves as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

Mr. Brown, age 43, has served as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer since the Company’s initial public offering in August 2020. In his role as Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Brown led the accounting, finance, treasury and procurement functions at the Company. He also serves as the Treasurer of Rocket Mortgage, LLC. Prior to then, Mr. Brown held a number of roles at Rocket Mortgage, LLC from 2014 to 2020, including Senior Vice President of Accounting and Finance. Prior to joining the Rocket Mortgage, LLC, Mr. Brown spent eight years as a senior manager at Ernst & Young serving financial services and mortgage banking clients. Any changes to Mr. Brown’s compensation for his new role will be determined at a later date.

Departure of General Counsel and Secretary

On September 30, 2022, the Company and Angelo Vitale agreed that Mr. Vitale will transition from his role as General Counsel and Secretary of the Company into an Of Counsel role, effective October 3, 2022. The Board appointed Tina V. John, the Company’s current Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary, as the Company’s General Counsel and Secretary, effective October 3, 2022.

The Company has agreed that in Mr. Vitale’s new role, his salary will be $100,000. He will continue to vest in his outstanding equity awards and he will be eligible for other compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees. He will remain eligible for his existing pro-rated bonus for 2022 based on the period he serves as General Counsel. Upon his departure within the next 12 months, Mr. Vitale will receive separation pay of up to $210,000 pro rated based on the period of time he continues to provide services between the date hereof and September 30, 2023.
