Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 22, 2021, the Company announced that it appointed Sarwar Uddin as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Uddin replaced Thomas Seifert, whose employment by the Company terminated on the same date. Mr. Seifert was terminated for cause, and the Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his prior service with the Company, or arising under any employment agreement. Mr. Seifert asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his employment agreement executed in June 2021. The Company expects Mr. Seifert to assert claims under the June employment agreement. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to any such claims. The Company has determined to initiate litigation against Mr. Seifert, asserting a number of claims including but not limited to rescission of the employment agreement, fraud in the inducement in connection with the execution of the employment agreement, and breach of the fiduciary duties of good faith and loyalty. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation.
