As previously announced, on February 8, 2019, Edward Jankowski resigned as Chief Executive Officer of XpresSpa Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and as a director of the Company, effective as of that date. Mr. Jankowski’s employment with the Company terminated effective as of the close of business on February 13, 2019 (the “Separation Date”). Mr. Jankowski’s resignation was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matters related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On March 14, 2019, the Company and Mr. Jankowski entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) and a non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreement (the “Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement”).

The Separation Agreement includes a release by Mr. Jankowski of claims against the Company and certain related parties. In consideration of the foregoing release, the Company will pay Mr. Jankowski $375,000, payable in substantially equal installments in cash commencing on the Company's next regular payroll date following the effective date of the Separation Agreement. Additionally, in consideration of the foregoing release, the Company will pay in full Mr. Jankowski’s COBRA continuation coverage for up to a maximum of twelve months following the Separation Date so long as Mr. Jankowski has not become covered by the medical plan of a subsequent employer during such period and is otherwise entitled to COBRA continuation coverage.

The Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement contains covenants protecting the Company’s proprietary information and intellectual property. In addition, pursuant to the Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement, Mr. Jankowski agreed to be subject to a covenant prohibiting him from soliciting or hiring the Company’s employees or consultants for a one-year period following the Separation Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Separation Agreement and Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
