Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and may provide for indemnification of the counterparty. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against it in the future but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.
The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as the director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such individual in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently have any pending litigation to which it is a party or to which its property is subject that the Company believes to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time-consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting the Company’s overall operations.
Employment Agreements
On June 18, 2021, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Ilya Rachman (as amended, the “Rachman Employment Agreement”), effective for a three-year term. Pursuant to the Rachman Employment Agreement, the Company employs Dr. Rachman as Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Rachman initially was entitled to a base salary of $360,000 annually. Dr. Rachman was also initially entitled to a performance-based bonus of 100% of his base salary (subject to, and determined by, the Board in its sole discretion) plus additional performance bonuses to be determined by the Board. On July 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a new compensation package for Dr. Rachman and, on November 9, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Rachman Employment Agreement pursuant to which (i) Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary was increased to $425,000, and (ii) Dr. Rachman’s annual performance-based bonus payable on January 1st of each year was reduced from 100% to 50% of his base salary (subject to, and determined by, the Board in its sole discretion). On March 7, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary, and on May 12, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Rachman Employment Agreement, pursuant to which Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary was increased to $446,000, effective January 1, 2023. On February 6, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary and, on May 9, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Rachman Employment Agreement, pursuant to which Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary was increased to $475,000, effective January 1, 2024. On May 14, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in Dr. Rachman’s annual base salary to $515,000, effective January 1, 2026.
Unless terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Dr. Rachman with “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Rachman Employment Agreement), upon termination, Dr. Rachman will be entitled only to his base salary through the date of termination, valid expense reimbursements and unused vacation pay. If terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Dr. Rachman with “good reason,” he is entitled to be paid his base salary through the end of the term at the rate of 150%, valid expense reimbursements and accrued but unused vacation pay. The Rachman Employment Agreement contains provisions for the protection of the Company’s intellectual property and contains non-compete restrictions during the term of the Rachman Employment and for a period of six months thereafter which generally impose restrictions on (i) employment or providing services to competing companies, (ii) engaging in an competitive business for his own account or being associated with such a business as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity, (iii) recruiting or hiring employees for a competing company, and (iv) soliciting or accepting business from the Company’s customers. Pursuant to the Rachman Employment Agreement, Dr. Rachman may serve as a consultant to, or on boards of directors of, or in any other capacity to, other companies provided that they will not interfere with the performance of his duties to the Company.
On June 18, 2024, the stated term of Dr. Rachman’s Employment Agreement expired; however, the Rachman Employment Agreement provides that upon its expiration, and unless the Company and Dr. Rachman have otherwise agreed in writing, if Dr. Rachman continues to work for the Company after the expiration of the term (which he has), his employment shall be under the same terms and conditions provided for in the Rachman Employment Agreement, except that his employment will be on an “at will” basis and the provisions of the agreement allowing for Dr. Rachman to terminate the agreement for “good reason” and for Dr. Rachman to be paid severance in the event his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Dr. Rachman for good reason will no longer apply. Dr. Rachman continues to work for the Company, and subject to the foregoing exceptions, his employment remains subject to the terms and conditions provided by the Rachman Employment Agreement.
On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement with Alwaysraise LLC (“Alwaysraise”), an entity which Gabriel Morris, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, President of Immix, and a member of the Board, is sole member, which was amended effective June 18, 2021 (as amended, the “Morris MSA”). The Morris MSA had an initial two-year term which was automatically renewable thereafter for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. However, in the June 18, 2021 amendment, the term was amended to a three-year term, which was automatically renewable thereafter for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. The Morris MSA currently has a term through March 24, 2027. Pursuant to the Morris MSA, the Company engages Mr. Morris as its Chief Financial Officer and President of Immix. As compensation for the services Mr. Morris performs, the Company pays Alwaysraise a monthly management services fee. For purposes of this description, we have annualized such monthly fee and characterized it as base salary. Under the MSA, Mr. Morris initially was entitled to an annual base salary of $120,000 through November 2021, which was increased to $240,000 beginning in December 2021. Pursuant to the June 18, 2021 amendment, beginning on January 1st of each year beginning in 2022, Mr. Morris was also entitled to a performance-based bonus of 100% of the most recent 12 month compensation (subject to, and determined by, the Board in its sole discretion) plus additional performance bonuses to be determined by the Board. On July 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a new compensation package for Mr. Morris and, on November 9, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Morris MSA, pursuant to which (i) Mr. Morris’ annual base salary was increased to $425,000, and (ii) Mr. Morris’ annual performance-based bonus payable on January 1st of each year was reduced from 100% to 50% of his most recent 12 month compensation (subject to, and determined by, the Board in its sole discretion) plus additional performance bonuses to be determined by the Board. On March 7, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in annual base salary, and on May 12, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Morris MSA, pursuant to which Mr. Morris’ annual base salary was increased to $446,000, effective January 1, 2023. On February 6, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual base salary for Mr. Morris and, on May 9, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Morris MSA, pursuant to which Mr. Morris’ annual base salary was increased to $475,000, effective January 1, 2024. On May 14, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual base salary for Mr. Morris to $515,000, effective January 1, 2026.
If terminated by the Company for “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Morris MSA) or by Alwaysraise other than as set forth in the proviso at the end of this sentence, upon termination, Alwaysraise will be entitled only to the monthly management fees and expenses accrued through the date of termination and valid accrued expense reimbursements; provided, that if a substantial and material adverse change in the nature of Mr. Morris’ title, duties or responsibilities with the Company takes place, immediately upon delivery of written notice from Alwaysraise or Mr. Morris, the Company shall terminate the Morris MSA immediately without Cause. If terminated by the Company without “Cause,” Alwaysraise is entitled to be paid the monthly management fees through the end of the term at the rate of 150% and valid accrued expense reimbursements. The Morris MSA contains provisions for the protection of the Company’s intellectual property and confidential information.
