Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As part of this transition, Jens Holstebro will step down from his role as Executive VP and General Manager of the Americas, effective January 27, 2026.

Mr. Holstebro has agreed to support the transition of his responsibilities, and the Company appreciates his leadership during a period of significant change. Mr. Holstebro’s departure will be treated as a termination of his employment without “cause” under his Employment Agreement dated February 26, 2024, and effective as of March 1, 2024 (the “Employment Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Holstebro will be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits:

•Accrued obligations as of the Effective Date, consisting of all accrued and unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid annual cash incentive bonus (currently no annual incentive payment for the Company’s fiscal year 2025 is anticipated), payment for accrued but unused paid time off, reimbursement of reasonable business expenses and any benefits, payments or continuation/conversion rights required by applicable law under benefit plans; and

•Severance benefits, including (i) 12 months of current base salary; (ii) the earned but unpaid portion, if any, of his long-term cash incentive bonus; and (iii) Company contributions toward COBRA premiums for continued group medical, dental and/or vision coverage for Mr. Holstebro and his eligible dependents in the amount that the Company contributes toward comparable coverage of active senior executives of the Company under its group health, dental, and/or vision plans, to cease after the end of the 12 month-period or when his COBRA continuation coverage ends, whichever is earlier.

Under the terms of Mr. Holstebro’s long-term cash incentive plan (“LTIP”), he is entitled to payment of any amount earned with respect to the July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 performance, provided he executes a release. Although the amount of the LTIP with respect to the current performance period cannot be determined at this time, the amount is expected to be no less than approximately $25,000 under the terms of the LTIP.

All payments and benefits are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonqualified deferred compensation may be subject to a six-month delay if Mr. Holstebro is a “specified employee” under Section 409A. Payments may be automatically reduced under an excess parachute payment cutback to avoid the excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, unless he would retain a greater after-tax amount without such reduction.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Employment Agreement and LTIP are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of February 26th, 2024, with an effective date as of March 1st 2024 (the "Effective Date"), is made and entered into by and between Boxlight Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Nevada (the "Employer"), having its principal offices located at 2750 Premiere Parkway, Duluth GA and Jens Holstebro an individual residing at 920 Chelebrooke Ct, Napa, CA 94559 (the "Employee").
WITNESSETH:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, it 1s hereinafter agreed as follows:

1.Term of Employment; Employment at Will.

a.Term of Employment. The Employer hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment. The Employee shall perform the services specified herein and during the Term (as defined below) at the same location (same arrangement) as currently used, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated. This Agreement may be amended only upon the written consent of the parties hereto.

b.At Will Employment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he is an “at-will” employee, and that this Agreement and Employee’s services may be terminated at any time by the Employer upon 30 days prior written notice to the Employee, and such termination may be for any reason or for no reason, with or without “Cause” (as defined below). In the event, Employer shall terminate the employment of Employee without Cause (a “Non-Cause Termination”), the Employer shall pay to the Employee severance pay equal to twelve (12) months of the Base Salary then in effect (the "Severance Payment"), payable either in equal monthly installments over the twelve (12) month period, or in a lump sum at the time of termination, according to choice by the Employee following such Non-Cause Termination.

2.Duties and Responsibilities.

a.General. The Employee shall serve as an executive employee of the Employer, reporting to and subject to the general direction of the Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) of the Employer. The Employee shall have the title of Executive Vice President and General Manager of Employer’s United States Operations with general management responsibility for the day-to-day operating performance of the Employer’s United States profit centers, including, without limitation, (i) the Employer, (ii) Boxlight Inc., (iii) EOSEDU, LLC, and (iv) FrontRow Calypso LLC. The Employee shall have such other duties as are normally associated with the capacity in which the Employee will be serving, as well as such other duties as may be assigned from time to time by the CEO.

b.Time. The Employee shall devote his full working time, attention, and energy to the Business (as defined herein) of the Employer as necessary and appropriate to further the interests of the Employer, other than reasonable time spent during non-working hours performing non-profit and charitable community service. As used herein, the term ''Business" shall include the development and selling of interactive technologies facilitating presentations, meetings, and remote classes in the educational environment and to enterprise customers.

1


3.Salary and Bonus.

a.Base Salary. Subject to the provisions of Section 1b above, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending March 1st, 2026 (the “Term”), the Employer shall pay to the Employee a salary (the "Base Salary") at an annual rate of (USD)$305,000 Dollars. Such Base Salary shall be paid to the Employee on a semi-monthly basis in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Employer. Unless the Term shall be extended beyond March 1st, 2026 by mutual agreement of the Employer and Employee and on terms equal or better than offered herein, after March 1st, 2026 this Agreement will become a month-to-month agreement. The Base Salary will be reviewed with the CEO once a year; however, the Base Salary may not be reduced during the Term.

b.Annual Bonus. During the Term of Employment, the Employee will be eligible for a target annual performance bonus (“Annual Bonus”) of $125,000, with a maximum annual bonus of up to $250,000, conditioned upon (i) the Employee is employed with the Company on the last day of the measurement period or when the milestone is achieved and payment earned, (ii) the Employer and its United States based subsidiaries achieving certain reasonable performance targets to be established by the Board and/or the CEO. The Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash, less any applicable tax withholding, not later than 15 days after earned.

4.Incentive Awards and Fringe Benefits.

a.Employee Stock Options. In addition to (and not in lieu of) the Base Salary and Eligible Bonus, during the Term of his employment, the Employee shall be eligible for one or more stock options grants (the “Option”) to purchase shares of the Class A common stock, par value, $0.0001 per share (the “Option Shares”) of the Employer. Such Option Shares shall be issued pursuant to an Option grant agreement issued under the Employer's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which Option shall be exercisable at the closing price of the Employer’s Class A common stock, as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on the date of grant (the “Exercise Price”). The Option grant shall allow for cashless exercise so, for example, if the closing price of the Class A common stock of Employer, as traded on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange on the date of any full or partial exercise of any of the vested Option Shares (the “Closing Price”) shall exceed the Exercise Price, the Employee shall be entitled to receive, for no cash payment, that number of Option Shares based upon the dollar amount by which the Closing Price exceeded the Exercise Price (the “Profit”). Accordingly for the avoidance of doubt, if 50,000 Options were granted to the Employee at an exercise price of $1.00 per Class A share of common stock and the Closing Price was $1.50, the Profit is $0.50 per Option Share so the Employee would then be entitled to receive if he exercised all of the Option, for no cash payment, a total of 25,000 Option Shares. The Option shall be subject to monthly vesting over a two-year period, with full acceleration in the event of a change in control. The Option grant will be subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors or its compensation committee.
b.Benefit Plans. In addition to the other compensation payable to the Employee hereunder, and except as otherwise set forth herein, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans including medical, disability, 401K and other employee benefit plans and programs generally provided by the Employer to its senior staff from time to time hereafter (other than those provided pursuant to separately negotiated individual employment agreements or arrangements), subject to, and to the extent the Employee is eligible for the respective terms of such benefit plans and programs.
2



c.Expenses. During the Term of Employment, the Employer shall pay or reimburse the Employee, upon submission of appropriate documentation by him, for all out-of-pocket expenses for entertainment, travel, meals, hotel accommodations, and the like incurred by him in the interest of the Business.
d. Car, Telephone and Internet. The Company will provide a car to the Employee for Employee's use. The car brand and model as well as any future cars must be mutually agreed upon between the Employee and the Company and shall be at same or greater brand and/or model as the car previously provided to the Employee by the Company. The Company will pay all expenses in connection with the car less normal deductions and withholdings required by law. The car must be returned to the Company no later than the last day of Employee's employment with the Company, irrespective of the reason for and circumstances of Employee's termination of employment. Unless the Employee has a Company phone or is supplied a Company phone, the Company will also provide the Employee a monthly stipend of $175 for phone and internet related expenses.

e.Vacation. The Employee shall be entitled to five (5) weeks of annual paid vacation per calendar year in accordance with the Employer’s policies.

f.Insurance. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in any group insurance plan, including health insurance, term life insurance, and disability insurance policies (collectively, "Employer Plans") from time to time maintained by the Employer, provided that such insurance can be obtained on economically reasonable terms.

5.Termination; Change of Control.

a.Death. If the Employee shall die prior to the expiration of the Term of Employment, the Employer shall have no further obligation hereunder, other than to the Employee or his estate, except the Employer pay to the Employee's estate the amount of the Employee's Base Salary and any Annual Bonus awarded to the Employee accrued to the date of his death. Such payment shall be made promptly after the date of death to the Employee's estate.

b.Disability. If prior to the expiration of the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be prevented, during a continuous period of ninety (90) days (the "Disability Period"), from performing his duties by reason of his physical or mental “disability” described below, the Employer may immediately terminate this Agreement, in which event the Employee shall receive: (i) his Base Salary accrued to the date upon which any determination of disability shall have been made as hereinafter provided, and continuing until the date on which disability income payments commence under the Company's long term disability plan (or the beginning of Social Security disability income, if sooner), which Base Salary payment may be reduced by the amount of any disability income payments the Employee may receive in connection with such occurrence of disability during the Disability Period under any policy or plan carried or maintained by or on behalf of the Employer and under which the Employee is a beneficiary or participant. The Employee shall continue to have the right to receive his benefits, if any, under any Employer Plans, but only in accordance with the terms of such plan or policy as they apply to persons whose employment has been terminated as a result of an employee's permanent disability. Such payments shall be made to the Employee in accordance with its normal payroll policies and schedule.

3


For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed to have become disabled when the CEO of the Employer (excluding the Employee or any of his affiliates), upon the diagnosis of a reputable, licensed physician of the Employer's choice, in consultation with the Employee's primary physician, shall have determined that the Employee shall have become unable to perform his duties under this Agreement, whether due to physical or mental incapacity or to infirmity caused by chronic alcoholism or drug use (excluding infrequent and temporary absences due to ordinary illness); provided that such incapacity shall have continued uninterrupted for a period of not less than ninety (90) days.

c.Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if prior to the expiration of the Term of Employment, the Employer shall have the right to discharge the Employee "for Cause," as defined below, in which event this Agreement shall terminate effective upon such discharge. Upon such termination, neither the Employer nor any other shareholder, officer, director or member of the Employer shall have any further obligation to the Employee or his estate, except that the Employer will pay to the Employee, within thirty (30) days of such termination, or in the event of his subsequent death, his estate, an amount equal to the Base Salary earned through the date of termination plus business expenses incurred. In addition, the Employee shall not, after the date of termination, be entitled to receive any further benefits, if any, under any Employer Plans. In the event of termination of the Employee's employment for Cause, neither the Employer nor any member of the Employer shall be obligated to pay, and the Employee shall not be entitled to receive, any Bonus. In addition, all unvested Stock Options shall automatically terminate and expire as of the termination and all vested Stock Options that have not been exercised by the Employee within 90 days after termination shall expire at the end of the 90th day.

For the purposes hereof, the term "Cause" shall mean and be limited to a discharge resulting from any one of the following, and (if Cause is disputed by Employee) as determined by a final court judgment:

(i)the Employee's conviction of a felony or any other crime involving moral turpitude,

(ii)the Employee’s material breach of his covenants set forth in Section 6c and Section 6d, or

(iii)the Employee's failure or refusal to follow the lawful (and taking into account Employee’s position and place of residence, reasonable) policies or directives established by the Employer or the CEO; provided that the CEO shall have first given written notice thereof to the Employee on each occasion describing in reasonable detail the alleged breach, failure or refusal, and such breach or willful failure or refusal to follow written lawful policies or directives shall remain uncured for a period of twenty (20) days following receipt of each such notice.

d.Termination Without Cause. In the event that the employment of Employee shall be terminated by the Employer or successor entity without Cause, then and in such event, this
4


Agreement shall terminate effective upon such discharge. Upon such termination without Cause, neither the Employer nor any other shareholder, officer, director or member of the Employer shall have any further obligation to the Employee or his estate, except that the Employer will pay to the Employee, within thirty (30) days of such termination, or in the event of his subsequent death, his estate, an amount equal to the greater of the amount payable to Employee between the date of termination and the end of the Term or the Severance Payment plus monthly COBRA payments for 12 months. In addition, the Employee shall not, after the date of termination, be entitled to receive any further benefits, if any, under any Employer Plans except for COBRA coverage. In the event of termination of the Employee's employment without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to receive any accrued Bonus previously granted by Employer but not yet paid as of the date of such termination. In addition, all unvested stock options shall automatically terminate and expire as of the termination and all vested Stock Options that have not been exercised by the Employee within 90 days after such termination shall expire at the end of the 90th day following such termination.

6.Certain Covenants of the Employee

BOXLIGHT CORPORATION 2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AWARD GRANT (CASH)

TO:    Jens Holstebro FROM: Boxlight Corporation
RE:    Cash Long-Term Incentive Award
I am pleased to report that you have been granted by Boxlight Corporation (the “Company”) a Target LTIP Award pursuant to the Boxlight Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan Document”) for the three-year performance period 2024 through 2027, comprised of the following:
Target Cash LTIP Award: $150,000
Your award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan Document, as amended. If this award agreement (the “Agreement”) varies from the terms of the Plan Document, the Plan Document will control.
PERFORMANCE GOALS
The amount of Cash LTIP award you earn will depend on the performance of the Company relative to the performance goal for the three-year performance cycle from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 (the “Performance Cycle”). The performance goals with respect to the Cash LTIP award are attached as Appendix A hereto.
The determination of whether (and to what extent) the performance goals have been met will be made by the Compensation Committee no later than promptly following the end of the 12-month period within a Performance Cycle (each such period, a “Performance Period”) or, if sooner, the occurrence of a Change in Control.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•If the Company’s performance relative to the Performance Goal during a Performance Period is below the Performance Target, the amount you earn with respect to 1/3 of the Target Cash LTIP Award will be reduced pro rata based on actual performance. At no time during the Performance Cycle shall the payout be less than 1/3 of that portion of the Target Cash LTIP Award.
•If the Company’s performance relative to the Performance Goal during a Performance Period equals the Performance Target, the amount you earn with respect to 1/3 of the Target Cash LTIP Award will equal 100% of that portion of the Target Cash LTIP Award.




•If the Company’s performance relative to the Performance Goal during a Performance Period exceeds the Performance Target, the amount you earn with respect to 1/3 of the Target Cash LTIP Award will increase proportionately based on attainment against the Performance Goal. At no time during the Performance Cycle shall the payout exceed 3x the Target Cash LTIP Award, with the exception of a Change in Control as discussed below.
•In order to receive any amount with respect to the Cash LTIP Award, you must remain employed with the Company through the respective vesting period, except in the case of death, disability or termination without Cause, as discussed below. If your employment terminates prior to completion of a Performance Period for any reason other than death, disability or termination without Cause, you will forfeit all of the Cash LTIP award not vested as of the termination date. If your employment terminates due to death, disability or termination without Cause, you will be entitled to payment of any amount earned with respect to the Performance Period in which the termination occurs, provided you, (or your representative in the event of death), execute a release of claims on a form provided by the Company that becomes effective no later than thirty days after the termination.

APPENDIX A


Performance Goal
For the 2024-2027 Performance Cycle, the Compensation Committee selected share price appreciation of the Company’s Class A common stock, currently listed on NASDAQ (ticker: BOXL) as the performance goal.
Share price appreciation is measured as the:
(A)Average closing share price of the Company’s class A common stock for the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the vesting date, less
(B)Average closing share price calculated for the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the most recently completed 12-month period in the Performance Cycle, or the effective date of this Agreement if the first vesting period.
Share prices will be rounded to the nearest whole cent for calculation purposes.
The Performance Goal will be deemed met and 100% payout achieved if the share price of the Company’s class A common stock is equal to the Performance Target as defined below. For avoidance of doubt, if the Performance Target is $1.00 and the average closing stock price, as defined above, for the respective vesting period is $1.00, the Participant will receive a payout equal to 100% of the Performance Target for that vesting period.
Performance Cycle
The Performance Cycle is effective for the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027.
Award Vesting
Awards will vest pro rata on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Award Payment
Cash payment of LTIP Awards will be made not later than 30 days following completion of each 12-month period in the Performance Cycle. Cash payments will be made based on the LTIP Awards vested at the conclusion of the then ended 12-month period. Cash payments are subject to the Company’s compliance with all covenants contained in the Company’s credit facilities in effect at the conclusion of each Performance Cycle.
Performance Target
The Performance Target is equal to the average closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.
