NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company had a lease for its corporate headquarters, which expired in June 2019. The lease was for a total of 5,275 square feet of office space located in South San Francisco, California. Rental expense related to that corporate headquarters was $35,772 and $35,772 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Currently, the Company is leasing the office located at 29397 Agoura Road, Suite 107, Agoura Hills, CA 91301 on a month-to-month basis until such time a new office is identified.

 

Legal Claims

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that it currently believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Employment Agreements

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into Employment Agreements and incentive compensation arrangements with each of its executive officers, including Dr. Vuong Trieu, the Chief Executive Officer; Dr. Fatih Uckun, the Chief Medical Officer; Dr. Chulho Park, the Chief Technology Officer; and Mr. Amit Shah, the Chief Financial Officer. On November 18, 2019, upon review of said employment agreement with Dr. Uckun, it was observed that the agreement submitted for Dr. Uckun was the incorrect document.

 

The Employment Agreements provide for annual base salaries for each year of the term, subject to review and adjustment by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”) from time to time. Each Employment Agreement provides that the executive shall be eligible for an annual discretionary cash bonus expressed as a percentage the executive’s base salary, subject to their achievement of performance targets and goals established by the Board or the Compensation Committee.

 

The Employment Agreements provide for equity awards to each executive under the terms of the Company’s stock option plans. Each Employment Agreement provides that the executive will receive a restricted stock grant of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company will compensate Messrs. Trieu, Uckun, Park and Shah for the taxes actually incurred on grant of the restricted shares. The restricted stock will vest fully on the one-year anniversary of employment. As of December 31, 2019, the restricted shares have yet to be issued. The Employment Agreements also provide for grants of incentive stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Stock Plan. Such options shall vest and become exercisable after one year of employment. As of December 31, 2019, the Company these options have yet to be granted. Thereafter, each Employment Agreement contemplates that the executive will be eligible to receive a comparable annual grant of restricted shares or stock options as approved by the Board or Compensation Committee and which shall contain the customary terms and provisions of such grants generally to key executives under the Stock Plan.

 

The initial restricted stock grants and stock option grants have been set for the executives as follows:

 

Executive   Title   Restricted Stock
(Shares)
    Stock Options
(Shares)
 
Vuong Trieu   Chief Executive Officer     209,302       313,953  
Fatih Uckun   Chief Medical Officer     186,047       279,070  
Chulho Park   Chief Technology Officer     162,791       244,186  
Amit Shah   Chief Financial Officer     148,837       223,256  

 

The incentive stock options or the restricted stock awards granted to the Company’s executive officers have not been issued as of the date of this filing.
