Amendment to Board Compensation of Dr. Rene Bernards

 

Dr. Rene Bernards was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) on June 13, 2022, at which time it was agreed that Dr. Bernards would receive compensation for his services on the Board only in the form of cash payments, in lieu of stock options as provided to the Company’s other non-officer directors under the Board Compensation Plan (the “Board Plan”). In conjunction with the Company’s efforts to preserve cash, Dr. Bernards has indicated his willingness to receive equity-based compensation for his services on the Board, effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2024. In order to reconcile his Board compensation with that of the other non-officer directors, Dr. Bernards has agreed to receive the same Board compensation, both in form and amount, as the other non-officer directors.

 

Amendment to the Board Compensation Plan

 

Under the current Board Plan, the non-officer directors were entitled to receive, in part, quarterly cash compensation, the amount of which was based on their service on the Board and the Board Committees. In conjunction with the Company’s efforts to preserve cash, the Board and the Board’s Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the Board Plan, such that for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and for the subsequent quarters ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the non-officer directors (including Dr. Bernards) will receive, in lieu of cash compensation, stock options exercisable for a period of five years, vesting immediately, to purchase common stock at an exercise price based on the closing market price at the end of each of the applicable quarters, with the amount of such stock options equal to the cash payment such director would otherwise have been entitled to receive for such quarter, divided by their quarter-end value as determined pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Board and Compensation Committee may extend this amendment to the Board Plan for additional quarterly periods subsequent to December 31, 2024.
