Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer

On June 18, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Mr. Evan Sohn as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Sohn will also continue to serve as the Chairman of our Board. Mr. Miles Jennings, our former Chief Executive Officer, was appointed as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately.

The biographical information for each of Messrs. Sohn and Jennings was previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.

There was no arrangement or understanding between either of Messrs. Sohn or Jennings and any other persons pursuant to which either was selected as an officer, and there are no related party transactions between either of them and the Company reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with his appointment, on June 19, 2020 the Company entered into a one-year Employment Agreement with Mr. Sohn. Pursuant to his Employment Agreement, Mr. Sohn will be paid an annual base salary of $200,000 and is entitled to earn a bonus of up to $200,000, $150,000 of which is based on the Company meeting the following milestones: (i) $50,000 upon the listing of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on the Nasdaq Capital Market or NYSE American, or any successor thereof (the “Uplisting”); (ii) $50,000 upon a financing resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000; and (iii) $50,000 upon the Company first achieving profitability on a quarterly basis during the term of the Employment Agreement. The remaining $50,000 of Mr. Sohn’s bonus under his Employment Agreement will be subject to the determination of the Board in its discretion.

In connection with his appointment, the Board approved a grant to Mr. Sohn pursuant to his Employment Agreement of 554,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), subject to and issuable upon the Uplisting. The RSUs will vest in equal quarterly installments over a two-year period from the date of the Uplisting, subject to Mr. Sohn serving as an executive officer of the Company on each applicable vesting date. The RSUs will be issued under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”).

The description of Mr. Sohn’s Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

There have not been any changes in compensatory arrangements with Mr. Jennings in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Operating Officer.

Amendment to the 2017 Plan

On June 18, 2020, the Board approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan from 1,714,000 to 2,770,000 shares.
