Rezolute, Inc. (the "Company"), the full board (with Mr. Nevan Elam abstaining)
approved certain amendments to the employment agreements (collectively, the
"Amendments" and individually, the "Amendment") of Messrs. Elam and Roberts, the
Company's chief executive officer and chief medical officer, respectively.
Amendments to Mr. Elam's Employment Agreement
Pursuant to the Amendment to Mr. Elam's employment agreement, if Mr. Elam is

equity in the Company that is subject to vesting conditions will have
accelerated vesting for eighteen (18) months and will also have an exercise

of his equity in the Company that was subject to vesting conditions would have
accelerated vesting for twelve (12) months and would also have an exercise
period of ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the termination event.
In addition, the amendments set forth above, the Amendment to Mr. Elam's

In addition to the amendments set forth above, the Amendment to Mr. Roberts'
employment agreement includes a new provision where if Mr. Roberts is terminated
related to a change of control event, all of his equity in the Company that is
subject to vesting conditions will have accelerated vesting with an exercise
period of six (6) months following the occurrence of the termination event. In
addition, upon the occurrence of a termination event related to a change of
control, Mr. Roberts will be entitled to, (i) a severance payment equal to
eighteen (18) months of salary, (ii) a pro-rata bonus payment equal to the
