Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
On November 21, 2025, ALT5 Sigma Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Steven M. Plumb as its Chief Financial Officer and to serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective November 24, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), which appointment was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 26, 2025 and noted that the Company expected to enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Plumb at a later date.
Mr. Plumb, who is 66 years old, is an experienced Certified Public Accountant. Since 2001, he has served as the owner and president of Clear Financial Solutions, a consulting firm that provides interim Chief Financial Officer services to small public companies. In this capacity he has prepared SEC filings, managed investor relations, raised capital, conducted mergers and acquisitions activities, and developed successful offering memoranda, registration statements, and investor presentations. In that context, Mr. Plumb served as Chief Financial Officer of (i) Driveitaway Holdings, Inc. (OTC:DWAY) since April 2024, (ii) Prophase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRPH) (from August 2025 until November 2025), (iii) A Game Beverages, Inc. (from September 2023 to November 2024), (iv) Endexx Corp. (OTC:EDXC) (from August 2022 to June 2024), (v) Gaming Technologies, Inc. (OTC:GMGT) (from October 2020 to July 2023), and (vi) Directview Holdings, Inc. (OTC:DIRV) (from January 2020 to March 2023). Mr. Plumb is a former auditor with PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG. Mr. Plumb has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas.
Employment Agreement
On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Plumb, effective as of the Effective Date (the “Employment Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Plumb’s Employment Agreement, Mr. Plumb’s annual base salary is $339,400 (the “Base Salary”). At the discretion of the Board, for each fiscal year of Mr. Plumb’s employment, he will be eligible to receive an annual bonus equal to 50% of his Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus Program”). Mr. Plumb received a signing bonus in the gross amount of $20,000 paid to Clear Financial Solutions (the “Signing Bonus”).
In addition, the Company granted Mr. Plumb 95,337 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), 50% of which will vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and the remaining 50% will vest in equal quarterly installments thereafter over the following year, subject to Mr. Plumb’s continued employment with the Company (the “Sign-on Equity Award”). The RSUs were granted under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).
Mr. Plumb is entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans that the Company offers to senior level officers. Mr. Plumb will be entitled to participate in the Incentive Plan, as determined by the Board. In accordance with the Company’s standard employment practices, the Company will reimburse Mr. Plumb for reasonable expenses that he incurs in the performance of his duties.
The term of Mr. Plumb’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer commenced on the Effective Date and will continue unless or until the Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or terminated by Mr. Plumb with good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement). If the Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, including death and disability, Mr. Plumb (or his authorized representative or estate) will be entitled to receive his unpaid Base Salary and unpaid expense reimbursements (the “Accrued Benefits”) within thirty (30) calendar days following Mr. Plumb’s date of termination, or as otherwise required by applicable law. With respect to vested benefits that Mr. Plumb may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company, payment will be made to Mr. Plumb under the terms of the applicable plan. If the Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Plumb with good reason and Mr. Plumb enters into a general release of claims (the “Release”) in accordance with the Employment Agreement in addition to receiving the unpaid Base Salary for one (1) year following the date of termination (the “Severance Period”), Mr. Plumb will be entitled to receive any unpaid amount of the Annual Bonus Program that has been earned for a completed fiscal year or other measuring period preceding the date of termination, but has not yet been paid to Mr. Plumb, payable in a single lump sum no later than the date that annual bonuses are payable to other participants in the Annual Bonus Program for that fiscal year. If Mr. Plumb’s date of termination occurs at least three (3) full calendar months after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year, Mr. Plumb will be eligible to receive an annual bonus under the Annual Bonus Program for the fiscal year during which the date of termination occurs, based on individual goals applicable to Mr. Plumb were satisfied in accordance with the Employment Agreement, prorated based on the number of days in the Company’s fiscal year through (and including) the date of termination, which amount will be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of termination. Each outstanding equity award of ownership in the Company granted to Mr. Plumb will be treated as provided in the applicable Company equity plan and award agreement ; provided, however, that, unless the applicable equity plan and award agreement would provide a greater benefit, (x) all outstanding and unvested time-based equity awards of the Company granted to Mr. Plumb will become immediately vested and exercisable (without pro-ration), and (y) all outstanding and unvested performance-based equity awards of the Company granted to Mr. Plumb will vest based on actual Company performance during the entire performance period and without regard to any discretionary adjustments that have the effect of reducing the amount of the payout (other than discretionary adjustments applicable to all senior executives who did not terminate employment), and will be prorated based on the number of days in the applicable performance period through (and including) the date of termination, and will become payable at the same time that the applicable awards are payable to similarly-situated executives who did not terminate employment during that performance period.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Plumb and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Plumb and any director or executive officer of the Company and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A copy of the Employment Agreement is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.129 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Employment Agreement.
