Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 15, 2020 RenovaCare, Inc. (the “Company”)
and Robert Cook executed an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) having an effective date of June
22, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) pursuant to which Mr. Cook will serve
as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Cook joins the executive leadership team
in a part-time position, providing 50% of his time to the Company’s business matters. A copy of the Employment Agreement
is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1.
Mr. Cook most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of CorMedix
Inc. from February 2017 through January 2020. His prior pharma experience includes: Chief Financial Officer of BioBlast Pharma
Ltd. from January 2016 through July 2016, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Strata Skin Sciences, Inc. from
April 2014 to January 2016; Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Immune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from August 2013
to March 2014, and its predecessor EpiCept Corporation from April 2004 to August 2013, including one year as Interim President
and CEO of EpiCept in which he completed the reverse merger of EpiCept into Immune. Previously he served as CFO of publicly-held
Pharmos Corporation from December 1997 to March 2004. Mr. Cook began his career in financial services at the Chase Manhattan Bank
and he also held a position as a Vice President in the Healthcare Group at General Electric Capital Commercial Finance. Mr. Cook
holds a B.S. in Finance, magna cum laude, from The American University, in Washington, DC.
Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, in addition
to a base annual salary of $130,000 Mr. Cook will be eligible to earn an annual discretionary bonus equal to up to 30% of his
base annual salary then in effect. Mr. Cook’s discretionary bonus is based upon the Company’s assessment of Mr.
Cook’s achievement of personal performance goals as well as the Company’s overall performance.
The Company has also agreed to grant Mr. Cook, pursuant to its
2013 Option Plan no later than the Effective Date, an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The option will vest as to 50,000 shares on the date of grant and as to the remaining 50,000 shares on the day prior
to the 1st anniversary date of the grant date. The initial exercise price of the option will be the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The option will only be effective upon the execution and delivery
of an option agreement substantially in the form thereof attached as Exhibit 3.5(b) to the Employment Agreement.
Mr. Cook’s employment
by the Company is an “at will employment;” the Employment Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time,
with or without cause. If terminated by the Company without Cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement, in addition to certain
specified benefits, Mr. Cook is entitled to a severance payment equal to up to three (3) months of his base annual salary then
in effect.
In connection with the Employment
Agreement, the Company and Mr. Cook also entered into a Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement in the form
attached to the Employment Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, a copy of which is attached to the Employment Agreement
as Exhibit 6.
