(e)       

 

On January 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of 180 Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”), determined that no bonuses would be granted to management for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2023, and that no bonus amounts would be accrued for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

(f) 

On April 28, 2023, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Annual Report”). Pursuant to Instruction 1 to Item 402(n)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K, the Company omitted from the Summary Executive Compensation Table included in the Annual Report, final bonus amounts to management with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Bonuses”), because the 2022 Bonuses had not yet been determined at the time the Annual Report was filed.

 

In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the Company is providing a revised Summary Executive Compensation Table, which includes the 2022 Bonuses and revised total compensation figures for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, below:
