Variation to CEO, Coby Hanoch’s, employment agreement
20 June 2023 – Weebit Nano Ltd ( ASX : WBT , Weebit or Company ) is pleased to announce variations to the terms of the employment agreement of the CEO, Mr Coby Hanoch, which recognises Mr Hanoch’s role in leading the Company through its next growth phase as it commercialises its ReRAM non-volatile memory ( NVM ) technology.
Since his appointment on 1 October 2017, Mr Hanoch has led Weebit through a period of substantial growth that has seen the Company’s market capitalisation increase over 100x from circa A$12 million to circa A$1.35 billion today. Over that period, Weebit has successfully developed its ReRAM NVM technology, signed its first commercial agreements, grown its senior leadership team, and is now advancing discussions with multiple potential customers.
In light of the growth of Weebit and the substantial value created for shareholders, Mr Hanoch’s employment agreement has been varied to recognise the achievements under his leadership and reflect remuneration arrangements which are more appropriate for a company, which is the size and complexity of Weebit today.
The variations to Mr Hanoch’s employment agreement are as follows:
-
Salary increased to NIS 80,000 (currently A$32,700) per month.
-
Removal (in perpetuity) of Mr Hanoch’s entitlement to a Special Bonus. The entitlement to this Special Bonus was waived by Mr Hanoch in relation to the most recent capital raising, and would have been paid on that raising and any future capital raisings, calculated as 1% of any amount raised between A$3 million to A$8 million, and 1.5% of capital raised above A$8 million.
-
Payment of a one-off bonus of a gross amount of A$800,000 at the same time as Mr Hanoch’s salary for July 2023 is paid, in recognition of the substantial growth of the Company and shareholder value created over the past almost six years that has seen Weebit grow over 100x from circa A$12 million market capitalisation to circa A$1.35 billion today.
-
An annual bonus of up to six (6) times Mr Hanoch’s monthly salary per year, following the attainment of certain milestones designated by the Board each year for the year ahead.
There are no other changes to Mr Hanoch’s employment agreement.
Weebit Chair David Perlmutter said: “We are delighted to implement these variations to Coby’s employment agreement to recognise the substantial shareholder value created over the past almost six years of his leadership. The revised employment agreement reflects a remuneration structure that is more appropriate for a company the size of Weebit, and ensures Coby continues to be aligned and incentivised to deliver on the exciting growth opportunities we see ahead for our company.”
