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

 

On July 12, 2017, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Christopher David, effective July 1, 2017. The Employment Agreement terminates on December 31, 2017, subject to the termination provisions contained in the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement is intended to replace the previous future service agreement, dated February 19, 2016, between the Company and Mr. David.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. David agreed to serve as the Company’s President. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to (i) pay Mr. David a monthly salary of $8,000, and (ii) grant Mr. David a 5-year option (the “Option”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.32 per share. The Option will vest on July 12, 2018.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company may terminate Mr. David at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below); provided, however, that if the Company terminates Mr. David without Cause:

 

 

(a) The Option shall be deemed fully vested effective as of the date immediately prior to the termination, and is not subject to revocation or return, and

 

 

 

 

(b) The Company will continue to owe Mr. David his monthly salary through December 31, 2017.

 

“Cause” means Mr. David must have (i) been willful, gross or persistent in his inattention to his duties or he committed acts which constitute willful or gross misconduct and, after written notice of the same, has been given the opportunity to cure the same within 30 days after such notice, and (ii) been found guilty of having committed a fraud against the Company.

 

On July 12, 2017, the Company granted the Option to Mr. David pursuant to that certain Option to Purchase Common Stock (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement provides for the cashless exercise of all or a portion of the Option, or exercise through payment of the exercise price in cash.

 

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this current report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
