Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

(a) The Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer.

 

On October 25, 2024, Elevai Labs Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer (the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement”) with GB Capital Ltd, a British Colombia, Canada corporation (“GB Capital”). The Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement amended and restated the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement between the Company and GB Capital for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer dated June 1, 2020 (the “Original Bensler Consulting Agreement”). The Original Bensler Consulting Agreement was amended and restated again on June 21, 2024 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer between the Company and GB Capital. Under the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, GB Capital agreed to designate Mr. Graydon Bensler, Director of GB Capital, to perform the Services (as defined in the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement).

 

(i) Services. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, Mr. Bensler agreed to perform the Services as non-employee Chief Executive Officer of the Company as set forth in Exhibit A of the Second Amended Consulting Agreement, including: (a) managing the operations of the Company; (b) working with the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to develop and implement the Company’s strategic plan; and (c) performing such other duties of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company customarily related to this function in an organization of the size and nature of the Company, and performing such other duties as may be determined and assigned by the Board from time to time and required by the Company’s governing instruments. Under the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, GB Capital’s relationship with the Company will be that of an independent contractor.

 

(ii) Compensation.

 

As consideration for Mr. Bensler’s provision of the Services, the Company agreed to provide compensation to GB Capital as more fully set forth in Exhibit B of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement (“GB Compensation”). The GB Compensation included an annual consultant fee of $250,000 per annum (the “Bensler Annual Consultant Fee”), 1/12 of which Bensler Annual Consultant Fee will be paid to GB Capital once per calendar month (“GB Payment Cycle”), provided that Mr. Bensler performs the Services required to be performed in each GB Payment Cycle. The Company agreed that upon execution of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to GB Capital: (a) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (1) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to GB Capital in cash and (2) $75,000 of such bonus to be remitted to GB Capital in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and GB Capital. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award GB Capital a bonus at the end of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Bensler Annual Bonus”), provided that GB Capital meets the Board’s performance objectives for GB Capital and GB Capital is engaged by the Company for such fiscal year in full. The target of the Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Bensler Annual Consultant Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, the first fiscal year for which the Company will consider whether GB Capital qualifies for the Bensler Annual Bonus is the fiscal year in which the Effective Date falls.

 

The Company shall also pay GB Capital in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 a bonus in the amount of $60,000 if the Company has a positive adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) in 2025.

 

Subject to the terms of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, GB Capital is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bensler Milestone Bonuses”). Such Bensler Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the Company shall remit the applicable Milestone Bonuses to GB Capital as follows:

(B)The Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies GB Capital for such payment, the “GB Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “GB Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital is entitled only to a one-time payment of the GB Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.

 

(C)If and when the Company achieves each of the targeted EBITDA amounts in one fiscal quarter, as set forth in this Section 1(e)(iii) (each of such amounts, “EBITDA Milestone”), the Company shall pay GB Capital a fee equal to 25% of the applicable EBITDA Milestone (such fee, the “EBITDA Milestone Bonus”: (A) $50,000; (B) $150,000; (C) $250,000; (D) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital may only receive a one-time payment of the EBITDA Milestone Bonus in each fiscal quarter, upon the Company’s achievement of the applicable EBITDA Milestone, and the Company will not make further payments to GB Capital as the EBITDA Milestone Bonus even upon achievement of an EBITDA Milestone in the same fiscal quarter which value exceeds the value of the first EBITDA Milestone GB Capital has achieved in such fiscal quarter.

 

(D)The Company shall pay GB Capital $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined below) of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least 5 consecutive Trading Days (as defined below).

“Trading Day” means a day on which national stock exchanges and the Nasdaq are open for trading.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein or in the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, GB Capital may elect to accrue the Bensler Milestone Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Bensler Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Bensler Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and GB Capital.

 

(iii) Termination and Severance. Either party may terminate the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, GB Capital is only entitled to a one-time severance payment of $250,000 (the “Bensler Severance Payment”), if any, on the occurrence of a GB Severance Event (as defined below). If GB Capital is not terminated for GB Cause, GB Capital shall execute a separation agreement and release of claims (“Separation Agreement”) in a form satisfactory to the Company and GB Capital which becomes irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following GB Capital’s termination. GB Capital agreed to remain in full compliance with the Separation Agreement. All unvested stock options of GB Capital at the time of such termination shall accelerate and vest in full at the time of GB Capital’s termination.
