Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 1, 2023, in connection with the previously disclosed transition of
Craig Snyder from President to Chief Executive Officer of Greenlane Holdings,
Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a
further amended and restated employment agreement (the "Amended Employment
Agreement") with Mr. Snyder. In connection with his entry into the Amended
Employment Agreement, Mr. Snyder's prior amended and restated employment
agreement with the Company was terminated.
The Amended Employment Agreement provides for a term of employment commencing on
January 1, 2023 and ending on January 1, 2025 (the "Initial Employment Period"),
during which time Mr. Snyder will serve as Chief Executive Officer. If Mr.
Snyder's employment continues following the expiration of the term of the
Amended Employment Agreement, the term of the Amended Employment Agreement shall
automatically be extended for successive one-year periods (the "Extended
Employment Period" and together with the Initial Employment Period, the
"Employment Term") unless either party gives written notice of termination not
less than 60 days prior to the termination of the then-current term. Pursuant to
the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Snyder will be paid a base salary of
$350,000, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee (the
"Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"). Mr. Snyder will also be eligible to receive an annual bonus based upon
the attainment of one or more pre-established performance goals or other
established criteria set by the Compensation Committee in an amount up to
seventy percent (70%) of his base salary. Mr. Snyder will also continue to be
eligible to receive equity and other long-term incentive awards under any
applicable plan adopted by the Company during the term of his employment. In the
sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Snyder's bonus may be paid in
cash or in equity awards.
Pursuant to the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Snyder is terminable by the
Company at any time (i) without cause (as defined in the Amended Employment
Agreement and summarized below), (ii) for cause, (ii) in the event of his death,
or (ii) in the event of his disability that cannot be accommodated under the
requirements of law. Mr. Snyder may terminate the Amended Employment Agreement
for any reason.
If the Amended Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause,
Mr. Snyder is entitled to receive his base salary to the date of termination,
any bonus that has accrued but is unpaid as of the date of termination and any
reimbursable expenses not yet reimbursed as of such date, in addition to the
receipt of outplacement services at the Company's expense, provided that the
cost of such services shall not exceed $20,000 or continue for longer than three
months. If terminated without cause, Mr. Snyder is also entitled to severance
equal to six months of his base salary in effect on the date of termination.
In addition, if terminated without cause, Mr. Snyder is entitled to a cash
payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium payments that would be payable by
Mr. Snyder to continue his Company-provided healthcare services for himself and
any dependents (the "Company Healthcare Plan") covered at the time of
termination (collectively, the "COBRA Payment"). If terminated without cause,
Mr. Snyder is entitled a COBRA Payment equal to six months of coverage under the
Company Healthcare Plan.
If the Amended Employment Agreement is terminated by Company (i) for cause, (ii)
in the event of Mr. Snyder's death, or (iii) in the event of his disability that
cannot be accommodated under the requirements of law, or if Mr. Snyder
terminates the Amended Employment Agreement for any reason, Mr. Snyder is
entitled to receive his base salary to the date of termination, any bonus that
has accrued but is unpaid as of the date of termination and any reimbursable
expenses not yet reimbursed as of such date.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, "cause" means: (i)
the conviction of Mr. Snyder of the commission of a felony or other crime
involving moral turpitude (including pleading guilty or no contest to such
crime), whether or not such felony or other crime was committed in connection
with the business of the Company Group (as defined in the Amended Employment
Agreement); (ii) the commission of any act or omission involving willful
misconduct, moral turpitude, misappropriation, embezzlement, dishonesty, or
fraud in connection with the performance of the Executive Officer's duties and
responsibilities hereunder; (iii) reporting to work under the influence of
alcohol or illegal drugs, or other conduct causing the Company Group public
disgrace or disrepute, whether in conjunction with the performance of Mr.
Snyder's duties on behalf of the Company Group or otherwise; (iv) willful
failure or refusal to perform material duties and responsibilities as reasonably
directed by the Chief Executive Officer or Board; (v) any act or omission
deliberately aiding or abetting a competitor of the Company Group to the
disadvantage or detriment of the Company Group; (vi) breach of any applicable
fiduciary duty to the Company Group; or (vii) any other material breach of the
Amended Employment Agreement.
Mr. Snyder has agreed that during the Employment Term he will not engage,
directly or indirectly, as a partner, officer, director, stockholder (other than
as the passive holder of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of
a publicly-traded corporation), member, manager, consultant, advisor, investor,
creditor or employee with a company that engages in a similar business as the
Company, except on behalf of the Company or with the prior written approval of
the Board.
