On April 11, 2020, Douglas Davis resigned as Chief Executive Officer of GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) so that he may fully devote all of his efforts to GBT Tokenize Corp., the Company’s joint venture, which intends to develop a new product. Mr. Davis’ resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or board of directors of the Company.

 

On April 13, 2020, Ambassador Ned L. Siegel resigned as a director of the Company to pursue other opportunities that require his time. Mr. Siegel’s resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or board of directors of the Company.

 

On April 13, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mansour Khatib, who has served as the Chief Marketing Officer and a director of the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Khatib has also previously served as Interim Chief Executive Officer from May 2018 to July 2018.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Khatib will receive an annual salary of $100,000 upon the Company generating $1,000,000 in revenue during any three (3) month period. Effective August 15, 2016, the Agreement was amended and restated. Upon the Company generating $1,000,000 in revenue during any three (3) month period (the “Threshold Requirement”), Mr. Khatib will receive salary at the rate of $100,000 annually (the “Base Salary”); provided, however, that that Company shall pay to Executive $5,000 per month (the “Monthly Salary Advance”) commencing on August 15, 2016, which such Monthly Salary Advance shall be an advance on the Base Salary and shall continue to be paid to Executive until such time that the Company launches its Guardian Patch technology into the consumer markets.  Once the Threshold Requirement is met, the Base Salary will be payable in equal increments not less often than monthly in arrears and in any event consistent with the Company’s payroll policy and practices. Mr. Khatib’s Base Salary may from time to time be increased, but not decreased, by the Board, in its absolute discretion, including potential bonuses.

 

Except as set forth above, there is no understanding or arrangement between Mr. Khatib and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as an executive officer and director. Mr. Khatib does not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by us to become a director or an executive officer.
