Effective as of April 5, 2021, MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Ms. Sabina Rizvi as the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company has agreed to pay Ms. Rizvi a base salary of $450,000 per year and she is eligible to receive an annual discretionary performance bonus targeted at 60% of her base salary for 2021 subject to the achievement of certain performance metrics.

There have been no transactions involving Ms. Rizvi that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
