Item 5.02.

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

On July 29, 2021, Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (“Company”) entered into a new two-year employment agreement (the “Agreement”), effective August 1, 2021, with Oleg Mikulinsky, Chief Information Officer of the Company (the “Executive”).  The new Agreement supersedes and replaces prior employment Agreement with the Executives.

The Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $300,000 for the Executive. In addition to base salary, for the fiscal years ending November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2022, the Executive’s and Company’s performance will be evaluated for consideration of a subjective cash bonus of an amount not to exceed 25% of the Executive’s base salary.

Upon the occurrence of (i) an involuntary termination of employment; (ii) a voluntary termination of employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement); or (iii) an involuntary termination of employment or voluntary termination of employment for “Good Reason” at any time following a change in control (as defined in the Agreement), the Agreement provides for severance pay equal to one times the Executive’s then-current annual base salary, paid within 90 days after the occurrence of the triggering event. In addition, the Company shall provide, at no cost to the Executive, continued life insurance coverage and nontaxable medical, dental and disability insurance coverage substantially similar to the coverage maintained by the Company for the executive prior to such termination for 24 months after the termination. If the termination of employment is due to disability (as defined in the Agreement), the Company shall pay the executive a sum equal to six months of the executive’s their then-current base salary in equal installments over three years no later than 30 days after such disability, reduced by any amount paid to them from any disability insurance, Social Security, workman’s compensation or other disability program. In addition, all unvested shares and options held by the Executives shall become fully vested upon their disability.  If the termination of employment is due to death, the Company shall pay the Executive one times the Executive’s then-current base salary as a cash lump sum within 30 days after their date of death, and the Company will continue to provide medical and dental coverage for the Executives family for two years after their death. The Agreement includes a one-year non-competition restriction and an 18-month restriction on solicitation of employees or customers.
