The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2024 through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for matters that required disclosure or adjustment in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Effective as of April 15, 2024, Ms. Golden, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement”). The Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2025 and expires on December 31, 2026. The Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement extends the expiration date of the Second Amended Golden Employment Agreement currently in effect for Ms. Golden from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026. Pursuant to the Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement, Ms. Golden is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $550,000 (increased from $500,000 currently in effect) and an annual bonus equal to 3% of the Company’s, consolidated income from operations before taxes, exclusive of the Company’s consolidated net investment income (loss), net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and net realized gains (losses) on investments, up to a maximum of 1.25 times her base annual salary (the same as currently in effect). Pursuant to the Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement (and as provided for in the Second Amended Golden Employment Agreement), in the event that Ms. Golden’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or she resigns for good reason (each as defined in the Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement), Ms. Golden would be entitled to receive her base salary and the 3% bonus for the remainder of the term. Ms. Golden would be entitled, under certain circumstances, to a payment equal to 1.5 times her then annual salary and her accrued 3% bonus in the event of the termination of her employment following a change of control of the Company (also as is provided for in the Second Amended Golden Employment Agreement). Pursuant to the Third Amended Golden Employment Agreement, Ms. Golden will be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, a grant, during each of January 2025 and January 2026, of 40,000 shares of restricted stock. The 2025 grant will become vested with respect to one-half of the award on the first anniversary of the grant date and one-half on December 31, 2026. The 2026 grant will become vested on the first anniversary of the grant date. The above grants are generally consistent with the grants provided for in the Second Amended Golden Employment Agreement. In the event that the Company is precluded from making a grant to Ms. Golden in either 2025 or 2026, she would instead be entitled to a cash bonus of $136,500 for such year.
