Looks like the $900k net from the note is just to cover the annual salaries and bonuses of Dowling and Grasser...Also worth noting is that if there is a change of control, Dowling would get $600k and Grasser would get $470k...
On June 20, 2024, CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Joseph Dowling, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer. This Agreement supersedes and replaces the existing Executive Employment Agreement, dated June 23, 2021, as modified per that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Executive Employment Agreement dated January 5, 2023, by and between the Company and Mr. Dowling.
Mr. Dowling will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Agreement has a three-year term and provides for an annual base salary of $300,000 (the “Base Salary”), which amount shall be subject to annual adjustment as approved by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board").
Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Dowling is also entitled to receive annual bonuses based on the Company’s performance and/or Mr. Dowling’s performance, subject to approval by the Board. If certain performance goals are met, Mr. Dowling would be entitled to receive a performance bonus, with a target amount of 50% of his then effective Base Salary; provided, however, that the payment and amount of such bonus shall be in the sole discretion of the Board. The Company may also propose new performance goals for purposes of determining additional annual bonuses payable to Mr. Dowling. Mr. Dowling shall also be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity, compensation, and incentive plans as are generally made available to the Company’s management executives; may be eligible to receive incentive stock options or other stock awards under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as determined by the Board; shall be entitled to a minimum of twenty days of annual paid vacation time exclusive of holidays; and shall be entitled to receive certain other perquisites, as set forth in the Agreement.
In the event the Agreement is terminated upon consummation of a change of control, the Company shall pay Mr. Dowling all salary then due and payable through the date of termination and all unpaid deferred compensation. In addition, the Company shall pay Mr. Dowling a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the Base Salary.
Mr. Grasser will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the CFO Agreement. The CFO Agreement has a three-year term and provides for an annual base salary of $235,000 (the “CFO Base Salary”), which amount shall be subject to annual adjustment as approved by the Board.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Grasser is also entitled to receive annual bonuses based on the Company’s performance and/or Mr. Grasser's performance, subject to approval by the Board. If certain performance goals are met, Mr. Grasser would be entitled to receive a performance bonus, with a target amount of 20% of his then effective CFO Base Salary; provided, however, that the payment and amount of such bonus shall be in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board. The Company may also propose new performance goals for purposes of determining additional annual bonuses payable to Mr. Grasser. Mr. Grasser shall also be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity, compensation, and incentive plans as are generally made available to the Company’s management executives; may be eligible to receive incentive stock options or other stock awards under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as determined by the Board; shall be entitled to a minimum of twenty days of annual paid vacation time exclusive of holidays; and shall be entitled to receive other perquisites, as set forth in the CFO Agreement.

In addition, the Company shall pay Mr. Grasser a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the CFO Base Salary.
