Side Letter Agreement and RSU Agreement with David J. Enholm
On June 30, 2026, CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Side Letter Agreement (the “Side Letter”) with David J. Enholm, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, amending certain compensation terms of Mr. Enholm’s existing Employment Agreement dated March 27, 2023, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”). Concurrently, the Company and Mr. Enholm entered into a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “RSU Agreement”) pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Pursuant to the Side Letter, effective July 1, 2026, Mr. Enholm’s annual base salary was reduced from $75,000 to $62,400, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. The salary adjustment was made voluntarily at Mr. Enholm’s request, and Mr. Enholm has waived any claim that such reduction constitutes a breach of the Employment Agreement or “good reason” for resignation thereunder. In addition, Mr. Enholm waived any and all rights to receive a cash payment for accrued or unused paid time off upon any future termination of employment with the Company.
In consideration of the salary adjustment, the PTO waiver, and Mr. Enholm’s continued service to the Company, the Company granted Mr. Enholm 80,000 restricted stock units (the “RSU Award”) under the Plan, pursuant to the RSU Agreement. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The RSU Award vests in two installments as follows:
| ● | 40,000 RSUs vested on July 1, 2026; and |
| ● | 40,000 RSUs will vest upon the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to Mr. Enholm’s continued service through the date of such filing. |
In the event of Mr. Enholm’s death, disability, retirement, or termination by the Company without cause, all unvested RSUs will become fully vested. If Mr. Enholm’s service terminates for any other reason, any unvested RSUs will be automatically forfeited.
The RSU Agreement and the Side Letter contain clawback and forfeiture provisions. Under both agreements, if the Form 10-K contains a material misstatement or omission, requires restatement, or becomes the subject of SEC inquiry or enforcement action, the Compensation Committee may suspend vesting, cancel or forfeit unvested RSUs, and require recoupment of vested RSUs, shares, or sale proceeds to the extent required by applicable law or, in its good faith discretion, attributable to Mr. Enholm’s conduct. Prior to any such determination, Mr. Enholm is entitled to written notice and at least fifteen business days to respond.
Except as expressly amended by the Side Letter, Mr. Enholm’s Employment Agreement remains in full force and effect.
The foregoing descriptions of the Side Letter and the RSU Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
