Pursuant to the terms of the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Harvey will receive: (i) six months of base salary to be paid bi-weekly for the period from August 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024; (ii) commissions on qualified sales through the Retirement Date; (iii) a pro rata amount of Mr. Harvey’s annual cash bonus earned, if any, based on actual performance as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors after the end of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024; (iv) a target achievement bonus in the amount of $20,000 to be paid only if the Company achieves sales of 100% of the combined targets for the first two quarters of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024; (v) the continued vesting of a total of 1,590 time-based restricted stock units that are scheduled to vest on January 31, 2024; and (vi) a monthly amount, for a period of six months following the Retirement Date, equal to the amount the Company pays (or waives, as applicable) for health, dental, or vision coverage (as applicable) on behalf of Mr. Harvey as of the Retirement Date. The Retirement Agreement terminates the Employment Agreement, dated December 30, 2020, between the Company and Mr. Harvey, except to the extent incorporated by reference or continued by the Retirement Agreement. The Retirement Agreement also includes a general release of claims in favor of the Company and will not become effective and enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has ended.
