Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 29, 2020, Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Thomas Smith, the Company’s President, as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective October 27, 2020. Mr. Smith succeeds Marc Thomas, who was appointed as the Company’s Chief Government Affairs Officer. A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing appointment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with his appointment as Chief Government Affairs Officer, the Company and Mr. Thomas entered into an employment agreement, dated October 29, 2020 (the “Agreement”), whereby Mr. Thomas shall be entitled to receive an annual base salary of $400,000. In addition, Mr. Thomas shall be eligible to receive an additional cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) based upon Mr. Thomas’s attainment of certain goals and objectives to be established by the Board or Compensation Committee, as defined in the Agreement, on an annual basis. The Agreement shall continue for a period of one year from the Effective Date, unless terminated early or further extended by the parties. The Company may terminate the Agreement at any time, with or without Cause, as such term is defined the Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause, Mr. Thomas will be entitled to Termination Amounts, as defined in the Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay Mr. Thomas: (i) the Termination Amounts; (ii) severance in the form of continuation of the Base Salary for the remaining term of the Agreement; (iii) payment of Mr. Thomas’s premiums to cover COBRA for the remaining term of the term of the Agreement; and (iv) a prorated annual bonus equal the target Annual Bonus, if any, for the year of termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full and partial months Mr. Thomas worked for the Company, and the denominator of which shall be the number of remaining months through the term of the Agreement.

Upon entering into the Agreement, a prior employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Thomas, dated as of July 30, 2020 (the “Prior Agreement”), was terminated and no longer in effect; however, Mr. Smith’s options to purchase common stock dated as of July 30, 2020 issued in connection with the Prior Agreement will continue in full force in accordance with their original terms and conditions.

Except as disclosed herein, there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Smith, or the Company and Mr. Thomas, that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, nor are there any further arrangements or understandings in connection with the appointment of Mr. Smith as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer or the appointment of Mr. Thomas as the Company’s Chief Government Affairs Officer.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the same, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report in Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
