Ms. Woods, age 56, has over 30 years’ experience in medical device technology and healthcare services, serving in numerous senior capacities. In July 2006, Ms. Woods joined the Company as a Vice President. Ms. Woods was appointed Acting Chief Operating Officer of the Company on February 26, 2008, and then appointed Chief Operating Officer on February 18, 2009, a position she held until January 2010. Immediately prior to her appointment as Interim CEO, beginning in February 2016, Ms. Woods served as a consultant to the Company. Prior to her work as a consultant to the Company, Ms. Woods held various leadership positions in multiple closely held companies in the medical equipment space. Ms. Woods holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration - Marketing from Loma Linda University.
In connection with Ms. Woods’ appointment as CEO, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement, dated effective January 1, 2019, for an initial term of three years, subject to successive one year renewals. Ms. Woods will receive an annual salary of $315,612, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. She will be eligible for a quarterly and an annual discretionary bonus as periodically established by the Compensation Committee of the Company based upon metrics that will be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Ms. Woods will have the ability to earn up to 35% of her annual salary, payable in the amount of 7% of her annual salary per quarter and an additional 7% at the end of the fiscal year subject to meeting the metrics. The bonus plan percentage can be adjusted in the future by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Also under her Employment Agreement, Ms. Woods is eligible to participate in and receive stock options under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Ms. Woods was issued 250,000 common stock options on June 13, 2018, which have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant as defined under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Twenty-five percent of the options vested on December 13, 2018. Twenty-five percent of the options will vest on June 13, 2019, twenty-five percent will vest on June 13, 2020, and the remaining twenty-five percent will vest on June 13, 2021.
Ms. Woods will be an “at-will” employee. Either she or the Company may terminate her employment with or without cause, for any reason or no reason, and at any time. If Ms. Woods’ employment ends due to expiration of the term or mutual written agreement with the Company, or she resigns or is terminated for cause, the Company will pay her accrued but unpaid wages and her approved but unreimbursed business expenses. If Ms. Woods is terminated without cause or at-will, the Company will pay her accrued but unpaid wages, her approved but unreimbursed business expenses, six months’ severance based on her then-current base salary, and COBRA premiums for up to 6 months of coverage. Ms. Woods is subject to standard confidentiality provisions and a non-compete, non-solicitation covenant for a one-year period following termination of her employment.
