Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following summaries describe the potential payments and benefits that we would provide to our named executive officers in connection with a termination of employment and/or a change in control, assuming the applicable triggering event occurred on December 31, 2022.

Severance Benefits - Paul B. Prager, Patrick A. Fleury and Kenneth J. Deane

The TW Employment Agreements provide that, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (including non-renewal of the term, except for Mr. Fleury) or by such named executive officer for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable TW Employment Agreement), subject to such named executive officer’s execution of an effective general release of claims and continued compliance with non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants applicable to such named executive officer pursuant to such named executive officer’s restrictive covenant agreement (which is incorporated by reference into such named executive officer’s TW Employment Agreement), the Company will pay or provide the named executive officer with the following severance benefits:

(i)

a lump-sum cash payment payable on the 60th calendar day following the termination date in an aggregate amount equal to the annual base salary that would have been paid to the named executive officer during the 12-month (for Mr. Prager only, 18-month) period (the “severance period”) following the termination date;

(ii)

continued coverage during the severance period (or until such named executive officer becomes eligible for comparable coverage under the medical health plans of a successor employer, if earlier) for such named executive officer and any eligible dependents under all of the Company’s health and welfare plans in which such named executive officer and any such dependents participated immediately prior to the termination date, subject to any active-employee cost-sharing or similar provisions in effect for such named executive officer thereunder as of immediately prior to the termination date; provided, however, that such coverage will not be provided in the event the Company would be subject to any excise tax under Section 4980D of the Code or other penalty or liability pursuant to the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and, in lieu of providing the coverage described above, the Company will instead pay such named executive officer a fully taxable monthly cash payment in an amount such that, after payment by such named executive officer of all taxes on such payment, such named executive officer retains an amount equal to the applicable premiums for such month, with such monthly payment being made on the last day of each month for the remainder of the severance period;

(iii)

a prorated portion of the annual bonus payable with respect to the fiscal year in which such termination occurs determined on a daily basis, based on target level of achievement of the applicable performance goals for such year, payable on the 60th calendar day following the termination date;

(iv)

any previously earned annual bonus payable to such named executive officer for any fiscal year completed on or before the termination date that has not been paid to such named executive officer as of the termination date, payable on the 60th calendar day following the termination date; and

Table of Contents

(v)

all outstanding equity awards then-held by such named executive officer (excluding the Inducement Award) will be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable equity plan and award agreements; provided, however, that, with respect to awards that vest (x) solely based on continued service with the Company, such named executive officer will vest in any tranche scheduled to vest in accordance with the applicable award agreement during the severance period and (y) based on the achievement of performance criteria, based on the actual achievement of such performance criteria that occurs during the severance period.

The TW Employment Agreements provide that if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company due to such named executive officer’s death or disability (each as defined in the applicable TW Employment Agreement), subject to such named executive officer’s (or his or her estate’s) execution of an effective general release of claims and continued compliance with non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants applicable to such named executive officer pursuant to such named executive officer’s restrictive covenant agreement, the Company will pay or provide such named executive officer (or his or her estate) with the following severance benefits:

(i)

(ii)

Pursuant to the terms of a restrictive covenant agreement entered into between the Company and each of the named executive officers, each of the named executive officers is bound by certain restrictive covenants during employment and for a specified period thereafter, including non-competition (6 months post-employment; provided that such period increases to 12 months post-employment if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause), non-solicitation (18 months post-employment), non-disparagement (indefinite) and confidentiality (indefinite).

The Inducement Award provides that, in the event of Mr. Fleury’s termination of employment or service with the Company at any time, all unvested RSUs are immediately canceled.

Director Compensation

Compensation of Directors

Consistent with our non-employee director compensation policy, each of our non-employee directors will receive an annual director fee, fees for serving as the lead independent director or chair of a committee and equity awards in connection with his or her services. In addition, each director is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with his or her services. As an employee of the Company, Mr. Prager does not receive any additional compensation for his service on our board of directors.

Our current non-employee director compensation program has two components: (1) a cash component, designed to compensate members for their service on our board of directors and its committees and (2) an equity component, designed to align the interests of our directors and stockholders and, by vesting over time, to create an incentive for continued service on our board of directors. The following table describes the compensation arrangements with our non-employee directors effective for fiscal 2022:

Annual Cash Retainers

Cash retainer	$	60,000
Lead independent director (additional cash retainer)	$	25,000
Committee chairmanship (additional cash retainers)	Audit Committee Chair: $25,000 Compensation Committee Chair: $25,000

Annual Equity Award

Restricted stock units that vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant

Each non-employee director will receive an annual grant of restricted stock units with a grant date value of $90,000

The lead independent director will receive an additional annual grant of restricted stock units with a grant date value of $25,000

Table of Contents

The cash elements of compensation are paid in quarterly installments in arrears and prorated for partial quarterly service. Under the terms of our 2021 Plan, the maximum amount (based on the fair value of our shares of common stock underlying awards on the grant date as determined in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of awards that may be granted in any single fiscal year to any non-employee member of our board of directors, taken together with any cash fees paid to such individual during such fiscal year, is $900,000.

As a newly public company, our compensation committee will periodically review and make recommendations to our board of directors regarding the form and amount of compensation for non-employee directors. Our director compensation program is designed to enable continued attraction and retention of highly qualified directors and to address the time, effort, expertise and accountability required of active board membership.

Director Compensation Table for 2022

During fiscal year 2022, our directors received annual grants of RSU awards covering service provided since the IKONICS merger. For the stub period starting on the effective date of the IKONICS merger, December 14, 2021 through June 22, 2022, our directors’ annual RSU awards included grant date values in the following amounts: $47,099 for all of our directors, except for Mr. Pincus, who received $60,180 as lead independent director, and Mr. Bucella, who received $27,126 as a new appointment to our board of directors. For the time period from June 23, 2022 through June 22, 2023, our directors’ annual RSU awards included grant date values in the following amounts in accordance with the terms of non-employee director compensation policy: $90,000 for all of our directors, except for Mr. Pincus, who received $115,000 as lead independent director.

The table below summarizes compensation provided to each non-employee director for services provided during fiscal 2022.

Amounts set forth in this column represent the aggregate dollar amount of all fees earned or paid in cash for services as a director, including basic retainer fees and committee and/or chair fees under our non-employee director compensation program. On March 4, 2023, our board modified our non-employee director compensation policy to permit participating directors to elect to receive cash retainers accrued since the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 in shares of our common stock in lieu of cash, with the number of shares of common stock granted to be equal to the applicable cash retainer divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of the applicable fiscal quarter, provided, however, that, with respect to cash retainers accrued during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, the number of shares of our common stock granted will be equal to the applicable cash retainer divided by the greater of (a) the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2022 and (b) the closing price of our common stock on the date the election is made. All of our directors elected to receive their respective cash retainers accrued in the fourth quarter of 2022 in shares of our common stock.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Other than compensation arrangements for our executive officers and directors (see “Executive Compensation” for a discussion of compensation arrangements for our named executive officers and directors) and the transactions discussed below, there were no transactions since the beginning of our 2022 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

•

the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

•

any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a written policy on transactions with related parties that is in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock that is listed on the Nasdaq. Related party transactions are defined as transactions in which (i) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (ii) the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant and (iii) a “Related Person” has, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of our written policy, a “Related Person” means any (i) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (ii) greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Common Stock, (iii) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a general partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a ten percent (10%) or greater beneficial ownership interest.

Table of Contents

Under the related party transactions policy, the Company’s general counsel, or his or her designee, is primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and procedures to obtain information regarding related parties with respect to potential related party transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether such potential related party transactions do, in fact, constitute related party transactions requiring compliance with the policy. If the Company’s general counsel, or his or her designee, determines that a transaction or relationship is a related party transaction requiring compliance with the policy, the Company’s general counsel, or his or her designee, will be required to present to the Audit Committee all relevant facts and circumstances relating to the related party transaction. The Audit Committee will be required to review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of the Company’s code of ethics, and either approve or disapprove the related party transaction. If the Audit Committee’s approval of a related party transaction requiring such approval is not feasible in advance of such related party transaction, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the Audit Committee, subject to ratification of the transaction by the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, however, that, if the ratification is not forthcoming, the Company’s management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the related party transaction. If a transaction was not initially recognized as a related party transaction, then, upon such recognition, the related party transaction will be presented to the Audit Committee for ratification at its next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, however, that, if the ratification is not forthcoming, the Company’s management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the related party transaction. the Company’s management will update the Audit Committee as to any material changes to any approved or ratified related party transaction and will provide a status report at least annually of all then current related party transactions. No member of the Board of Directors will be permitted to participate in the approval of a related party transaction for which he or she is a related party.
