Chief Financial Officer Compensation

As previously disclosed in Interpace Biosciences, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 31, 2020, the Company appointed Fred Knechtel as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary of the Company, effective as of January 29, 2020. In connection with his appointment, the Company entered into an employment agreement, dated as of January 29, 2020, by and between the Company and Mr. Knechtel (the “Knechtel Employment Agreement”). As contemplated by the Knechtel Employment Agreement, on April 29, 2020, Mr. Knechtel was awarded an option under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase up to 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), with an exercise price of $5.80 as the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a share of Common Stock on April 29, 2020. The number of shares of Common Stock eligible for vesting under such award is determined by the accomplishment of certain performance milestones (“Performance Milestones”) established by the Compensation & Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Performance Milestones provide for the vesting of all or a portion of the option grant depending on when and if the Company achieves consolidated break-even Adjusted EBITDA for two consecutive quarters commencing in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 through the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021. In the event break-even Adjusted EBITDA is separately achieved in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 and the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company will grant Mr. Knechtel an additional option to purchase 6,000 fully vested shares of Common Stock at fair market value on the date of grant.

Amendments to the Plan

On April 29, 2020, the Board approved amendments to the Plan to (i) delete from Section 3, Shares Subject to the Plan, the $250,000 per calendar year limit on awards (as measured by the Company for financial accounting purposes) granted under the Plan to non-employee directors, and (ii) provide under Section 9, Restricted Stock Units, that distributions in settlement of restricted stock units may only be made in shares of Common Stock.
