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

On March 18, 2022, the Company and Mr. Ed Ebbers, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Dermatology, agreed that he would resign from the Company, effective as of March 18, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). The Company, as part of its efforts to streamline its business operations, has eliminated the General Manager position. This decision was not the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Ebbers dated June 26, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”), and in consideration for a signed release of any claims he may have relating to his employment with the Company, Mr. Ebbers will be entitled to, among other things: (i) payment of salary through the Separation Date; (ii) severance payments of twelve semi-monthly equal installments, which amount represents the sum of six months of Mr. Ebber’s annual base salary; (iii) an additional severance payment of $28,318 in lieu of any 2022 cash bonus as calculated by Mr. Ebber’s Employment Agreement; (iv) acceleration of vesting of the unvested portion of each equity award that would normally vest over twelve months from the Separation Date; and (v) continuation of Company-paid health insurance benefits under COBRA until Mr. Ebbers is no longer eligible for COBRA continuation benefits. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement itself, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018.

To facilitate a smooth transition, the Company expects to enter into a continuing consulting arrangement with Mr. Ebbers.
