Eisenberg and Lockshin were each eligible for certain severance payments and benefits consistent with the terms of their existing employment agreements as described under “Employment Agreements with our Named Executive Officers” in the Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024.
