EXPLANATORY NOTE
The purpose of this Amendment No.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2010, is to clarify the circumstances of Mr. Majerowicz departure.
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 28, 2010, the board of directors approved an amendment to each of the employment agreements with David A. Harrell, H. David Lester and Terence J. Hamilton.
The amendment to employment agreement with David A. Harrell imposes non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination of Mr. Harrell’s employment with the Company. The amendment also entitles Mr. Harrell to severance pay following the termination of his employment at any time, without or without cause, in an amount equal to the monthly portion of Mr. Harrell’s annual base salary for a period of twenty-four (24) months; provided, however, such severance payments are subject to Mr. Harrell’s compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions.
Each of the amendments for H. David Lester and Terence J. Hamilton imposes similar non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions for a period of twelve (12) months following the respective date of their termination of employment with the Company. Each such amendment also entitles each of Mr. Lester and Mr. Hamilton to severance pay following the termination of their respective employment at any time, without or without cause, in an amount equal to their respective annual base salary payable in monthly installments for a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, such severance payments are subject to their compliance with their respective employment agreements, as amended, including the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions.
ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
On July 28, 2010, the board of directors, effectively immediately, removed Thomas E. Majerowicz from the positions of director, vice president and secretary with the Company and with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation, to allow an open seat on our board of directors. There was no disagreement with Mr. Majerowicz about his departure with our Company. Management wishes to publicly thank Mr. Majerowicz for his valuable service in the positions he held with the Company.
On July 28, 2010, the board of directors, effectively immediately, elected H. David Lester as the secretary of the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation, to replace Mr. Majerowicz. Mr. Lester currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of both corporations.
On July 28, 2010, the board of directors ratified the appointment of Shad Shastney to replace the seat left by Mr. Majerowicz on the Company’s board of directors.
