Officer:
Effective October 31, 2017, MetaStat, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a new employment agreement (the
“Employment Agreement”) with Douglas A. Hamilton to
serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer
for a term of two years. Mr. Hamilton had been serving as the
Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer without an
employment agreement since the expiration of his previous
employment agreement on June 17, 2017. The Employment Agreement
provides for a base salary of $260,000 and an annual milestone
bonus equal to 150% of Mr. Hamilton’s compensation
thereunder, based on his attainment of certain financial, clinical
development, and/or business milestones to be established annually
by the Company’s board of directors or compensation
committee. The Employment Agreement is terminable by
either party at any time. In the event of termination by the
Company without cause or by Mr. Hamilton for good reason not in
connection with a change of control, as those terms are defined in
the Employment Agreement, he is entitled to six months’
severance. In the event of termination by the Company without cause
or by Mr. Hamilton for good reason in connection with a change of
control, as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement, he
is entitled to twelve months’ severance. The Employment
Agreement contains standard confidential and proprietary
information, and one-year non-competition and non-solicitation
provisions.
The Employment Agreement of Mr. Hamilton is attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated
