As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2024, on February 22, 2024, the board of directors (the “Board”) of RenovoRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), appointed Leesa Gentry, the Company’s former Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations, to the position of Chief Clinical Officer of the Company. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Gentry entered into an amended and restated offer letter with the Company on March 8, 2024 (the “Gentry Offer Letter”).
Pursuant to the Gentry Offer Letter, the Company shall pay Ms. Gentry an annual base salary of $325,000. The Company may, in its sole discretion, grant Ms. Gentry an annual incentive bonus upon targets set by the Board and its Compensation Committee. Ms. Gentry’s bonus target shall be up to 35% of her base salary. Pursuant to the Gentry Offer Letter, the Company has also granted Ms. Gentry, effective March 6, 2024, an option to purchase 190,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.69 per share (the “Gentry Option”). The Gentry Option shall vest over four years. 1/48th of the shares subject to the Gentry Option will vest on each monthly anniversary of the vesting commencement date (March 1, 2024, which was the start date of Ms. Gentry’s new position), in each case subject to Ms. Gentry’s continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The Gentry Option and its vesting shall be subject to, and governed by, the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.
Ms. Gentry’s employment is at will, meaning that either she or the Company may terminate the employment at any time for any reason or no reason. The Gentry Offer Letter also contains customary provisions for confidentiality and matters related to intellectual property and Company property.
