Amendment to Employment Agreement
Effective June 8, 2018, PeerStream, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”) with Eric Sackowitz. The Employment Agreement Amendment sets forth changes to Mr. Sackowitz’s executive base salary and annual incentive bonus opportunities for the 2018 calendar year and provides for cash bonus payments to Mr. Sackowitz upon the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals.
The Employment Agreement Amendment increased Mr. Sackowitz’s base salary from two hundred sixty-five thousand dollars ($265,000) to two hundred eighty thousand dollars ($280,000) per year, prorated for any partial years of employment, effective as of June 7, 2018.
In addition, the Employment Agreement Amendment sets Mr. Sackowitz’s guaranteed annual incentive bonus for the 2018 calendar year at forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement Amendment, the Board of Directors of the Company will continue to have the discretion to award Mr. Sackowitz up to an additional forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000) based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals for the 2018 calendar year.
The Employment Agreement Amendment also provides that Mr. Sackowitz is eligible to receive an automatic bonus payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and additional bonus payments of up to (i) one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) upon the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals as set forth in the Company’s technology services agreement with ProximaX Limited (“ProximaX”) and (ii) two percent (2%) of any future cash proceeds paid to the Company by ProximaX in excess of $10 million. The payment of each bonus described herein is contingent on Mr. Sackowitz being employed by the Company on the date such bonus is paid.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
