Key Details

• No additional benefits: The Separation Agreement confirms he is not entitled to severance, accelerated equity vesting, consulting fees, benefits continuation, or other termination payments under his March 1, 2026 Employment Agreement.
• Legal protections: The agreement includes a mutual general release of claims (including under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) and Dr. Moradi’s reaffirmation of post‑termination obligations such as confidentiality, non‑competition, non‑solicitation, and non‑disparagement.

Why It Matters This is a material executive change: investors should note the CEO vacancy and monitor the company for an announced successor or interim leadership plan. From a cash‑flow perspective, the company faces minimal immediate cash outlay for this departure because no severance or other post‑termination payments were agreed. The reaffirmed post‑termination covenants protect the company’s confidential information and business relationships while the company searches for new leadership.
