(a) On
April 19, 2009, Arotech Corporation (the “Registrant”) agreed with its Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert S. Ehrlich, to modify Mr. Ehrlich’s
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. Under the terms of Mr. Ehrlich’s
employment agreement, the Registrant was obligated to pre-fund Mr. Ehrlich’s
severance agreement into a trust, in cash. The Registrant is not currently in
compliance with this obligation. By agreement with Mr. Ehrlich, the Registrant
will fund $240,000 of Mr. Ehrlich’s severance package in shares of the
Registrant’s stock rather than in cash, to be held in a trust until such time as
Mr. Ehrlich shall be entitled to payment of his severance package pursuant to
the terms of his employment agreement.
Based on
the closing price of the Registrant’s stock ($0.73) on the Nasdaq Stock Market
on April 17, 2009 (the date on which the Registrant’s Board of Directors and Mr.
Ehrlich agreed to this arrangement), it was agreed that a total of 328,767
shares would be issued and given over to the trust, to remain there until such
time as Mr. Ehrlich shall be entitled to his severance package pursuant to the
terms of his employment agreement. The economic risk of gain or loss on these
shares is to be borne by Mr. Ehrlich. Should Mr. Ehrlich leave the Registrant’s
employ under circumstances in which he is not entitled to his severance package
(primarily, termination for Cause as defined in his employment agreement), these
shares would be returned to the Registrant for cancelation.
The
foregoing description is modified in its entirety by reference to the terms of
the letter agreement dated April 19, 2009 between Mr. Ehrlich and the
Registrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
(b) On
April 19, 2009, Arotech Corporation (the “Registrant”) agreed with its President
and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Steven Esses, to modify Mr. Esses’s Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement. Under the terms of Mr. Esses’s employment
agreement, the Registrant was obligated to pre-fund Mr. Esses’s severance
agreement into a trust, in cash. The Registrant is not currently in compliance
with this obligation. By agreement with Mr. Esses, the Registrant will fund
$200,000 of Mr. Esses’s severance package in shares of the Registrant’s stock
rather than in cash, to be held in a trust until such time as Mr. Esses shall be
entitled to payment of his severance package pursuant to the terms of his
employment agreement.
Based on
the closing price of the Registrant’s stock ($0.73) on the Nasdaq Stock Market
on April 17, 2009 (the date on which the Registrant’s Board of Directors and Mr.
Esses agreed to this arrangement), it was agreed that a total of 273,973 shares
would be issued and given over to the trust, to remain there until such time as
Mr. Esses shall be entitled to his severance package pursuant to the terms of
his employment agreement. The economic risk of gain or loss on these shares is
to be borne by Mr. Esses. Should Mr. Esses leave the Registrant’s employ under
circumstances in which he is not entitled to his severance package (primarily,
termination for Cause as defined in his employment agreement), these shares
would be returned to the Registrant for cancelation.
The
foregoing description is modified in its entirety by reference to the terms of
the letter agreement dated April 19, 2009 between Mr. Esses and the Registrant,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
