Trump/Cook, Nissan weakness, more tariffs and gold - what’s moving markets
SRM Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada-based company specializing in games and toys currently trading near its 52-week low at $0.38, has entered into a new employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Douglas McKinnon, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing.
According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has experienced significant volatility, declining 74% over the past year. The agreement, effective as of January 1, 2024, supersedes Mr. McKinnon’s previous contract and will continue for an initial term of three years with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods.
Under the new terms, Mr. McKinnon will receive an annual base salary of $215,000, which is set to increase by a minimum of ten percent every January 1st during the term. Additionally, he may be awarded an annual cash bonus determined by the company’s Board and Compensation Committee, payable either in cash or common stock at his election.
The company will also grant Mr. McKinnon restricted shares of common stock equivalent to his base salary each year, which will be fully vested upon grant. This is part of the company’s Equity Incentive Plan and is contingent on the Compensation Committee’s determination that management’s goals have been met, including targets set by the CEO.
Moreover, Mr. McKinnon is eligible for bonus payments and equity incentive grants based on the company’s market capitalization reaching certain thresholds. For instance, if the market capitalization exceeds $50 million - significantly above the current $5.59 million - he would be awarded additional restricted shares or options valued at $250,000, with further incentives for higher market capitalization levels. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company is currently facing challenges with rapid cash burn and weak financial health scores, making these targets particularly ambitious.
This information is based on the details provided in the Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to SRM Entertainment’s Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The agreement outlines the compensation and incentives designed to retain the CFO’s services and align his interests with the company’s performance and growth objectives.
