Re:
Appointment as Executive Chairman
Dear
Stavros:
This
letter agreement (this “Agreement”) confirms the terms of your appointment as Executive Chairman of Apyx Medical Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the grant to you of restricted stock units (“RSUs”),
under the Company’s 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Agreement, including the granting of the RSU
Award (defined below), is being entered into and provided in recognition of your service to the Company and your expected continued contributions
in the role of Executive Chairman.
1. Appointment
as Executive Chairman. Effective as of June 11, 2026, you are appointed to serve as Executive
Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. In that
capacity, you will perform such duties and responsibilities as are traditionally performed
by an executive chairperson, including providing strategic leadership and governance oversight,
assisting management with execution of corporate initiatives, capital raising efforts, supporting
investor engagement, advising on capital markets and corporate development matters, and other
such comparable duties.
2. Continued
Board Service. Your appointment as Executive Chairman is in addition to your current
service as a member of the Board. Nothing in this Agreement limits the rights of the Company’s
stockholders or the Board with respect to your continued service as a director or Executive
Chairman in accordance with applicable law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation,
bylaws and corporate governance policies.
3. Term;
At-Will Service. Your service as Executive Chairman will continue until terminated by
either you or the Company at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable law and any
rights you may have under this Agreement, the Plan or any other written agreement approved
by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).
Your appointment as Executive Chairman does not create any right to continued employment,
service or engagement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
4. Compensation.
In consideration of your service as Executive Chairman, and subject to approval by the Board,
you will receive the RSU Award described in Section 5 below. You will not receive
any cash compensation for your service as Executive Chairman, but will be reimbursed for
reasonable and documented business expenses incurred in the performance of your duties, subject
to the Company’s expense reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time.
5. RSU
Award.
(a) Grant.
Subject to approval by the Board, the Company hereby grants to you 450,000 RSUs (the “RSU
Award”), effective as of June 11, 2026 (the “Grant Date”). Each
RSU underlying the RSU Award represents the right to receive one (1) share of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.
(b) Plan
Incorporation. The RSUs are granted under and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By signing this Agreement,
you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan or access to the Plan, and agree to be bound
by all terms and conditions of the Plan.
(c) Vesting.
Subject to your continued service with the Company through each applicable vesting date,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Plan or any other written agreement approved
by the Board or Compensation Committee, the RSUs will vest as follows:
i. 150,000
RSUs will vest immediately on the Grant Date;
ii. 150,000
RSUs will begin vesting on the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date and will
vest ratably over the 12-month period beginning on such date, in equal monthly installments;
and
iii. 150,000
RSUs will begin vesting on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Grant Date and
will vest ratably over the 12-month period beginning on such date, in equal monthly installments.
(d) Acceleration
Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, all then-unvested RSUs will immediately become fully vested
as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of such Change of Control.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means the occurrence
of any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any person or group
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company, a merger or consolidation
of the Company in which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction
do not own a majority of the voting power of the surviving or resulting entity immediately
following such transaction, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets.
(e) Termination
of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Plan or any other written
agreement approved by the Board or Compensation Committee, any unvested RSUs will be forfeited
automatically without consideration upon termination of your service with the Company as
Executive Chairman for any reason. For purposes of the RSUs, “service” means
your continued service to the Company as Executive Chairman.
6. Tax
Matters; Withholding. You are responsible for all federal, state, local and foreign taxes
arising from the RSUs, the issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the RSUs and
any other compensation or benefits provided under this Agreement. The Company may satisfy
any required tax withholding obligations in any manner permitted under the Plan and applicable
law, including by withholding shares otherwise deliverable upon settlement of vested RSUs,
withholding from other amounts payable to you, requiring a cash payment from you, or any
combination of the foregoing. You acknowledge that the Company has not provided tax advice
to you and that you have been advised to consult your own tax advisor regarding this Agreement
and the RSUs.
2
7. Section
409A. This Agreement and the RSUs are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including under the short-term deferral
exemption, and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. The Company makes no representation
or warranty regarding the tax treatment of this Agreement or the RSUs.
8. Compliance
with Law. The issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the RSUs is subject
to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including securities laws
and Nasdaq listing standards. The Company will not be required to issue any shares if such
issuance would violate applicable law or any applicable Company policy. You acknowledge that
the Company may be required to disclose the terms of this Agreement, your appointment as
Executive Chairman and the RSU Award, and may be required to file this Agreement, in whole
or in part, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nasdaq or other governmental or
regulatory authorities. You consent to such disclosures and filings as the Company determines
are required or advisable.
9. Conflict
with Plan. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan
will control, unless otherwise permitted by the Plan and expressly approved by the Board
or Compensation Committee. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have
the meanings given to them in the Plan.
10. Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Plan and any other written agreement
expressly referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company
with respect to your appointment as Executive Chairman and the RSU Award described herein,
and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings with respect to
such matters. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by you and
an authorized representative of the Company, except that the Company may make administrative
or ministerial changes, or changes required to comply with applicable law, the Plan or Company
policy, to the extent permitted by the Plan and applicable law.
11. Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would result in
the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
12. Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
Signatures delivered by electronic means will be deemed effective for all purposes.
Please
confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning this Agreement.
Sincerely,
Apyx
Medical Corporation
