Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 23, 2023, Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement with Janet Carr, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “RSU Agreement”). Under the RSU Agreement, Ms. Carr was granted 276,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), each of which will convert upon vesting into one share of the Company’s common stock. 92,000 RSUs will vest on each October 2 (the anniversary of Ms. Carr’s start date with the Company) in 2024, 2025 and 2026, subject to Ms. Carr’s continuing employment with the Company on each applicable vesting date. The RSUs are granted pursuant to the Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. 2023 Incentive Stock Plan.

Ms. Carr’s employment agreement with the Company dated October 2, 2018, remains in effect. If prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs Ms. Carr’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or Ms. Carr terminates her employment for “good reason” (each as defined in Ms. Carr’s employment agreement), then the Company would vest a pro-rata portion of 92,000 RSUs based on the number of days elapsed between her last RSU vesting date (or the grant date, if none of the RSUs had vested) and the next coming vesting date.
