The information set forth under Item 5.02 below is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Biotricity Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Waqaas Al-Siddiq, dated as of April 10, 2020. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Al-Siddiq (“Executive”) will continue to serve as the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

The term of the Employment Agreement is for 12 months unless it is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms and it shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods until the Executive or the Company delivers to the other party a written notice of their intent not to renew the employment term at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then effective employment term. During the term of the Employment Agreement, Executive salary shall be $390,000 subject to any increase approved by the Company’s board. Under the Employment Agreement, the Executive is eligible to earn a cash and/or equity bonus of up to 50% of his then annual salary. In the event that the Executive is terminated without just cause or terminates for good reason (as these terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), the Executive will be entitled to a severance payment equal to 12 months of salary paid on a monthly basis and accrued but unused vacation.

 

The Executive continues to serve as the Company’s President.

 

The description of the material terms of the Employment Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

  

On April 7, 2020 the Company’s board of directors approved the granting of options to purchase 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Waqaas Al-Siddiq, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and president.

On April 7, 2020 the Company’s board of directors approved the granting of options to purchase 367,647 shares of the Company’s common stock to David Rosa, one of the members of the Company’s board of directors.

On April 7, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the granting of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Patricia Kennedy and 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Norman Betts.

 

The options granted to Mr. Al-Siddiq, Mr. Rosa and the shares of common stock granted to Patricia Kennedy and Norman Betts were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) since, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering. The shares and options may not be resold except as permitted under the Act.

In addition on April 7, 2020, the Board approved the automatic vesting on a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of options granted to certain non-executive employees and consultants and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and president, Waqaas Al-Siddiq.
