Dear Mr. Areglado,

 

We are very pleased to present to you this offer letter (the “Employment Offer Letter”) for a position with BrainsWay USA, Inc. (the “Company” or “BrainsWay”), as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for BrainsWay, reporting directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In this full-time position, you will undertake and render services that are normally associated with this role in other companies in our industry. If you accept this offer, your employment will commence on the “Start Date” which shall be defined as May 5, 2021 or such other date as mutually agreed to by you and the Company.

 

1.Base Salary. In compensation for your work, the Company will pay you a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the annualized gross rate of $295,000.00 (Two Hundred and Ninety Five Thousand U.S. Dollars). Your salary will be paid in equal installments, less applicable taxes and withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s semi-monthly payroll schedule through our PEO TriNet/ADP. You confirm that you have had the opportunity to consult with a tax expert regarding tax liabilities applicable to the payments and other consideration, if any, to which you are entitled under this Agreement. Your Base Salary will be subject to periodic review and possible raises at the Company’s discretion (with your Base Salary, as so adjusted, constituting “Base Salary” for all purposes thereafter).

 

a.Exempt Employee Status: Please note, that as an “exempt” employee under applicable U.S. law, you will not be entitled to overtime compensation.

 

2.Bonus Compensation. You will be eligible to receive a performance bonus targeted at 40% of your Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), pro-rated in the first calendar year based on the Start Date. The actual bonus percentage and payment is discretionary and will be subject to assessment of your performance, as well as business conditions at the Company as determined by the Company’s (and/or its parent company’s) board of directors (the “Board”) or the Company’s (and/or its parent company’s) compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”). You must be employed on the date a bonus is paid to earn any part of that bonus.

 

3.Options Package. Pursuant to the approval by the board of directors of BrainsWay Ltd. (the “Parent”), which will be sought within thirty (30) days of your Start Date, you will be granted an option (non-qualified) to purchase 115,000 ordinary shares of the Parent (the "Options"). The approved grant will take place as of the “Vesting Commencement Date” which shall be defined as the Start Date. The Options will be subject to the terms and conditions of the compensation plan and/or share incentive plan in effect for employees of the Company as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), your continued employment by the Company at each applicable vesting date, as well as any as any other terms and conditions at the Company as determined by the Company’s (and/or the Parent’s) board of directors or the Company’s (and/or the Parent’s) compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”). The shares subject to the Options shall vest over a period of four years beginning on the Vesting Commencement Date as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, and six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the shares at the end of each subsequent three-month period thereafter until the end of the four-year period. The exercise price of each ordinary share subject to the Options shall be the price equal to 110% of the average closing share price of the Company in the 90 trading days preceding the Vesting Commencement Date.

Annex A

 

SEVERENCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL RIDER

 

 

Nothing contained in this Severance and Change of Control Rider may be construed as detracting from the at-will status of your employment and/or to guarantee employment for any length of time:

 

1.Termination for Cause or Resignation. In the event the Company terminates your employment for Cause (as defined herein), or in the event that you voluntarily resign your employment without Good Reason (as defined herein) or your employment otherwise terminates for any reason except by termination by the Company without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, the obligations of the Company shall cease immediately and you will not be entitled to any further payments or benefits of any kind, including any portion of the payments described in sections 1 through 3 of the Employment Offer Letter other than earned Base Salary through the date of termination. The aforesaid cease of benefits shall not include any retirement or disability benefits which have already vested under the express terms of the Company’s benefits plans, or any benefits which you may be clearly entitled to as a matter of law irrespective of termination (including under COBRA). For purposes of this agreement, “Cause” shall be defined as: (i) your (a) material failure to perform your duties or (b) gross negligence in the performance of your duties, provided that in the case of either (a) or (b), the Company shall give written notice to you of at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination of the Company’s intent to terminate under this provision, which notice shall set out the ways in detail in which you have failed to perform, and you shall have failed to cure such failure prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period; (ii) your material breach of the terms of the Employment Offer Letter or the Company’s policies, or a material breach of fiduciary duty causing the Company material harm; (iii) your willful violation of lawful directives from the Company’s Board; (iv) dishonesty, willful misconduct causing the Company material harm or fraud in connection with your employment by the Company, the performance of your duties, or in any way related to the business of the Company; (v) a reportable violation of banking, securities or commodities laws, rules or regulations; or (vi) conviction or a plea of nolo contendere (or the equivalent) to a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude.

 

2.Termination Without Cause and Resignation for Good Reason. Subject to the compliance of this section with the shareholder-approved compensation plan in effect for the Company, in the event the Company terminates your employment without Cause, or you resign your employment hereunder for Good Reason, provided you have been actively employed by BrainsWay for at least one year prior to such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, you shall be entitled to a total severance payment of an aggregate amount equal to 75% of your then-current annualized gross Base Salary, payable in one lump sum less applicable taxes and withholdings within 30 days of your last day of employment. Further, in the event that you have been awarded, but not yet paid, a bonus for the prior fiscal year, that bonus shall be paid to you on the same date bonuses are paid.

 

 

3.For purposes of this agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your prior written consent, any action or inaction by the Company that results in the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a reduction in your Base Salary or target bonus; (ii) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties, (iii) you having to report to someone other than the Company’s CEO; (iv) you having to work in a location more than seventy-five miles from the office location you report to (v) discovery of a violation of compliance or regulatory obligations due to no fault on your part that the Company has failed to cure upon notice by you, and which you in good faith believe you cannot continue your employment under such circumstances; or (vi) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall be deemed to be for Good Reason unless you follow the Good Reason Process. For purposes of this agreement, “Good Reason Process” shall mean that 1) you reasonably determined in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; 2) you notify the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 30 days of the first occurrence of such occurrence, with such notice specifically identifying same as a “Good Reason condition” under this agreement, 3) you cooperate in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; 4) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and 5) you terminate your employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. Except as provided in section 2 of this Rider, you understand that you shall not be entitled to any further payments or benefits in the event of termination of your employment. You agree that no payment shall be made to you pursuant to section 2 of this Rider unless you execute a release within thirty (30) days after your termination date in a form satisfactory to the Company in favor of the Company and all affiliated and related entities and their current and former officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims permitted to be released by applicable law.

In addition, if any covenant or provision is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the court or tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area, or all of them, and such covenant or provision shall then be applicable in such modified form and every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

14.Successor and Assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successors or assigns, and you shall be bound to any successor or assign of the Company. The Company will assign this Agreement to any successor to the assets of the Company.
