Item 5.02. Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
Chief Financial Officer
On June 13, 2022, Boxlight Corporation (Boxlight” or the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Greg Wiggins, pursuant to which Mr. Wiggins will commence service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on July 5, 2022. As previously reported on April 5, 2022, Patrick Foley, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, provided notice he would step down for personal reasons. Mr. Foley will remain with Boxlight until July 29, 2022 in order to assist with the transition.
Mr. Wiggins is a certified public accountant with more than 15 years of experience providing corporate finance leadership to high-growth companies. Since 2019, Mr. Wiggins has served as an Assurance Director at BDO USA, LLP where he performs critical tasks associated with assurance and risk management, utilizing advanced knowledge of US GAAP and SEC reporting rules. Previously, from 2017 to 2019, Mr. Wiggins was Chief Financial Officer of Mitch Cox Companies where he helped drive growth by developing short- and long-term strategic financial objectives and strategies; managed accounting, investor relations, legal, tax, and treasury functions; and advised senior leadership on financial implications. Mr. Wiggins also spent seven years at Carmike Cinemas (previously listed on Nasdaq and acquired by AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC) in 2016) in key leadership roles including Assistant Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, and six years as a Business Assurance Manager at Ernst & Young. Mr. Wiggins obtained his Master’s Degree in Accountancy in 2004 and his Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce and Business Administration from The University of Alabama. We believe Mr. Wiggins’ vast business and financial accounting expertise will be a significant asset to Boxlight.
Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Wiggins will receive annual base compensation of $250,000 and be eligible to receive a performance-based bonus of up to $75,000 per year. In addition, Mr. Wiggins will be granted stock options entitling him to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of Boxlight’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, and which options will vest in equal quarterly installments over a four-year term commencing on July 5, 2022, with acceleration of vesting on a change in ownership of the Company or a substantial portion of Boxlight’s assets. Mr. Wiggins is also entitled to participate in all company benefit and group insurance plans and will be entitled to five weeks of annual paid vacation per calendar year. Mr. Wiggins is required to provide three months’ advance written notice to the Company prior to resignation.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to describe all of the terms of such agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
