Effective December 21, Mr. Jesus Quintero resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Quintero’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company.

 

On December 21, 2016, the Board approved the hiring of Mr. Robert “Bob” Pullar to serve as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, to be effective on January 1, 2017. In accordance with the terms of an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Pullar (the “CFO Agreement”), Mr. Pullar will be employed at will by the Company. In addition to other customary terms, the CFO Agreement provides that Mr. Pullar shall receive (a) an annual base salary of $100,000, which shall adjust up to $150,000 upon meeting specified EBITDA thresholds, (b) benefits and insurance available to similarly situated employees under the Company’s benefits plan(s), and (c) awards of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), as follows: (i) 100,000 shares of Common Stock vesting after 90 days of remaining employed as MassRoots’ Chief Financial Officer; (ii) 250,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock vesting in one (1) year; (iii) up to 175,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock, upon meeting specified EBITDA thresholds; and (iv) additional Common Stock and/or Common Stock option awards based on performance, to be determined by the Company.

 

The foregoing summary of the CFO Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the CFO Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Prior to joining MassRoots, since October 2006, Mr. Pullar, age 48, co-owned and served as Managing Director of Axis Private Equity Group, LLC, an investment firm focused on making equity investments in well-managed, profitable companies. Mr. Pullar’s experience includes the negotiation of leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, recapitalizations and equity investments with privately held businesses and subsidiaries or divisions of public companies. Mr. Pullar brings to the Company a strong understanding of and tremendous experience in the financial industry.

 

Mr. Pullar does not have any relationship with the Company that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.
