Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Under a Confidential Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Brooks Separation Agreement”), on October 18, 2023 (the “Brooks Separation Date”), the employment of Dr. Steven Brooks as Chief Medical Officer of Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company”) was terminated. Dr. Brooks’s employment ceased on the Brooks Separation Date. Dr. Brooks will receive all wages and health insurance reimbursement for health insurance billed during the time employed due to him through the Separation Date. In addition, Dr. Brooks will receive a lump sum payment of $25,000.00 within 30 days of Dr. Brooks’ execution and non-revocation of the Brooks Separation Agreement, which occurred on October 16, 2023. The Brooks Separation Agreement provided for a general release of claims against the Company, including any claims related to Dr. Brooks’ employment with the Company, Dr. Brooks’ separation of employment from the Company, and any tort or contract claims. The Brooks Separation Agreement also provided for a waiver of rights and claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.
Previously Dr. Brooks had been employed as Chief Medical Officer under an offer letter with the Company, dated December 1, 2020 (the “Brooks Offer Letter”), effective as of that date. This position provided annual compensation of $300,000, an annual discretionary bonus of potentially 25% of base salary based upon discretionary objectives to be outlined, and options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock. The Company also provided Dr. Brooks a benefit package to include insurance coverage. Under a Marizyme Employment Terms and Conditions Agreement, dated January 14, 2021 (the “Brooks Employment Terms Agreement”), Dr. Brooks’ employment was at-will and terminable at any time, with or without cause. Under the Brooks Employment Terms Agreement, Dr. Brooks also agreed to a number of terms and conditions of employment, including: Disclosure and assignment of rights to all inventions to the Company during his period of employment; assignment of royalty-free rights to all products, processes, and services derived from Dr. Brooks’ inventions to the Company; nondisclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information (as defined by the Brooks Employment Terms Agreement); general non-disparagement provisions; and non-solicitation of any employee, vendor, partner, or certain other parties upon Dr. Brooks’ termination, and, during the one-year period after termination, non-solicitation of any current employee or consultant hired within the last six-month period. The Brooks Separation Agreement provided that such terms and conditions of employment under the Brooks Employment Terms Agreement survive and remain binding and enforceable.
