Legal Matters and Routine Proceedings
The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ pharmacy boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future. The Company also intends to vigorously defend its trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred. From time to time, the Company may be involved in and subject to disputes and legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the ordinary course of its business. These proceedings may include allegations involving business practices, infringement of intellectual property, employment or other matters. The ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding is often uncertain, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any legal proceeding, and unfavorable outcomes could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In accordance with ASC Topic 450-20 ("Loss Contingencies"), the Company records a liability in its financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the status of each significant matter each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable and cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is
not recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Gain contingencies are not recorded until they are realized. Legal costs related to any legal matters are expensed as incurred.
Employment Agreements
On August 25, 2021, the Board of Directors appointed Mathew N. Hulett ("Mr. Hulett”) as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and as a member of the Board of Directors. These appointments and the employment agreement were effective as of August 30, 2021. The employment agreement was for an initial term of three (3) years commencing on August 30, 2021 and automatically renewed for successive one (1) year terms, or for longer periods as mutually agreed upon by the parties, unless the employment agreement was expressly cancelled by either Mr. Hulett or the Company sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current term, or was otherwise terminated as provided in the agreement. The employment agreement provided that Mr. Hulett received an annual base salary of $500 thousand, subject to periodic review for increases with the approval of the Board of Directors, and was be eligible to participate in the standard employee benefit plans generally available to executives and employees of the Company, including health insurance, life and disability insurance, restricted stock under the Company’s equity compensation plan(s), 401(k) plan, and paid time off and paid holidays. The employment agreement also provided that the Company will reimburse Mr. Hulett for his documented business expenses incurred in connection with his employment pursuant to the Company's standard reimbursement expense policy and practices. The employment agreement contained certain rights of Mr. Hulett and the Company to terminate Mr. Hulett’s employment, including termination by the Company for “Cause” as defined in the employment agreement, and termination by Mr. Hulett for “Good Reason” as defined in the employment agreement within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control as defined in the employment agreement. Mr. Hulett was also entitled to severance pay equal to twelve (12) months of Mr. Hulett’s current base salary and eighteen (18) months of health insurance benefits in the event of his termination by the Company without Cause, or termination by Mr. Hulett for Good Reason within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control. The foregoing severance benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Hulett’s execution of a release of claims and compliance with certain restrictive covenants. The employment agreement contains customary non-disclosure and non-solicitation provisions as well as a one (1) year non-compete following the termination of the agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2024 the employment agreement with Mr. Hulett was terminated (See Note 16 - Subsequent Events, for a description of the Transition and Separation Agreement with Mr. Hulett).
On August 30, 2021, Mr. Hulett also received an award of 90,000 shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 2016 Employee Plan, which stock restrictions will lapse pro rata on each of August 30, 2022, August 30, 2023, and August 30, 2024, which are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment (except as provided in the restricted stock agreement). Mr. Hulett also received an award of 510,000 shares of performance restricted stock under the 2016 Employee Plan, which stock restrictions will lapse on the third anniversary of the date of grant based on (i) achieving absolute stock price hurdles within the three-year period from the date of grant, and (ii) continued employment through the performance period of three years from the date of grant, in accordance with the following schedule: 85,000 shares at the stock hurdle price of $40 per share, 107,000 shares at the stock hurdle price of $45 per share, 106,000 shares at the stock hurdle price of $50, 106,000 shares at the stock hurdle price of $55, and 106,000 shares at the stock hurdle price of $60.
Should none of the absolute stock price hurdles be met during the three-year period from the date of grant, no shares would vest (as defined in the performance restricted stock agreement). Once the absolute stock price hurdle is achieved, it will be considered to have met the absolute stock price hurdle, regardless of the stock price on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The absolute stock price hurdle would be considered to have been met if the average closing stock price of the Company is at or above the absolute stock price hurdle for a period of ninety (90) consecutive trading days. If the shares would be considered to have met the absolute stock price hurdle, they will only vest on the third anniversary of date of grant, subject to Mr. Hulett’s continued employment through the performance period of three years from the date of grant (except as provided in the performance restricted stock agreement). As of March 31, 2024, none of the performance restricted stock vested, as no performance stock price hurdles were met.

Ms. Chambers will receive an annual base salary of $375 thousand and received a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $50 thousand, subject to pro rata repayment if Ms. Chambers terminated employment with the Company within the first twelve months of employment. Ms. Chambers received an initial equity award under the 2016 Employee Plan consisting of (i) an award of 13,000 restricted shares, and (ii) 3,000 performance restricted shares, which performance restricted shares will be based on the attainment of performance criteria equally weighted between adjusted EBITDA and revenue as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The shares for each grant will be released from restriction equally over a three (3) year period on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to the attainment of performance criteria in the case of the performance restricted shares.
