On November 12, 2018, Anand Gupta was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Finance of Recall Studios, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately.

 

Mr. Gupta, age 49, has a Big 4 audit background and has extensive financial experience with complex multinational corporations. During his career within the media and entertainment industry, Mr. Gupta has served as the Executive Vice President, Finance and Business Operations at Al Jazeera America, which was a 24x7 cable news network; as Vice-President, Business Planning and Operations at HBO, a premium pay-tv cable channel; as Vice-President, Financial Planning at Warner Bros., a filmed entertainment company; and as the Head of Finance and Business Development at Eidos Interactive, a former leading publisher of video games. Mr. Gupta also worked in public accounting as a member of the audit and assurance practice of KPMG LLP in the U.S. and U.K. and BDO UK LLP in the U.K.

 

Mr. Gupta is an alumnus of Harvard Business School (Senior Executive Leadership Program) and Wharton Business School (MBA) and holds dual professional membership of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales.

 

In connection with Mr. Gupta’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Finance of the Company, the Company and Mr. Gupta entered into an Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) effective November 12, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, in exchange for Mr. Gupta’s services as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Finance, the Company will pay Mr. Gupta (i) for an initial period of four months, a gross monthly salary of $12,500, plus the cost of his temporary accommodation, rental car, per diem, and business class airfare as required for Mr. Gupta to individually relocate from India to work at the Company’s offices in Florida, and (ii) subsequently, subject to the Company successfully raising at least $10 million in fresh capital, an annual base salary of $400,000, subject to annual increases (but not decreases), as determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

In addition, Mr. Gupta is eligible for an annual target bonus payment equal, as a percentage of base salary, to that received by all other C-Suite executives. The bonus will be determined based on the achievement of certain performance objectives of the Company as established by the Chief Executive Officer and communicated to Mr. Gupta in writing as soon as practicable after commencement of the year in respect of which the bonus is paid. The bonus may be greater or less than the target bonus, based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance objectives.

In addition, the Company may terminate Mr. Gupta’s employment at any time for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or without Cause. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, “Cause” means a termination based upon:

  (ii) misconduct by Mr. Gupta to the material and demonstrable detriment of the Company; or
     
  (iii) Mr. Gupta’s conviction (by a court of competent jurisdiction, not subject to further appeal) of, or pleading guilty to, a felony.

 

   
 

 

Mr. Gupta may resign from his employment under the Employment Agreement at any time either with Good Reason (as hereinafter defined) or without Good Reason. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence, without Mr. Gupta’s express written consent, of any of the following:

 

  (i) a significant diminution by the Company of Mr. Gupta’s role with the Company or a significant detrimental change in the nature and/or scope of Mr. Gupta’s status with the Company (including a diminution in title);
     
  (ii) a reduction in Mr. Gupta’s base salary or target or maximum bonus, other than as part of an across the board reduction in salaries of management personnel (including all vice presidents and positions above) of less than 20%;
     
  (iii) at any time following a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), a material diminution by the Company of compensation and benefits (taken as a whole) provided to Mr. Gupta immediately prior to a Change of Control;
     
  (iv) the relocation of Mr. Gupta’s principal executive office to a location more than 50 miles further from central business district of Jupiter, Florida, or any requirement that Mr. Gupta be based anywhere other than Mr. Gupta’s principal executive office, provided however that this relocation protection provision shall only apply if Mr. Gupta has fully relocated his immediately family to a Florida residence from his existing residence in India; or
     
  (v) any other material breach by the Company of any of the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement.

 

Upon termination of Mr. Gupta’s employment by the Company, with Cause or without Cause, or by Mr. Gupta with or without Good Reason, or upon Mr. Gupta’s death or total disability:

 

  (i) the Company shall pay to Mr. Gupta the base salary and benefits through the date of termination;
     
  (ii) the Company shall pay to Mr. Gupta accrued but unpaid bonus and benefits through the date of termination; and
     
  (iii) the Company shall pay to Mr. Gupta any unreimbursed expenses incurred by Mr. Gupta.

  (i) the Company shall pay to Mr. Gupta an amount equal to one month’s base salary (excluding bonus) as determined as of the date of termination, multiplied by the number of months of Mr. Gupta’s service under the Employment Agreement, up to a maximum benefit equal to one year’s base salary (excluding bonus); and
     
  (ii) any unvested incentive awards then held by Mr. Gupta will immediately be vested in full.

 

Upon any termination of Mr. Gupta’s employment by the Company with Cause, or by Mr. Gupta without Good Reason, in addition to the payments and actions set forth above, any unvested incentive awards then held by Mr. Gupta will immediately be forfeited.
