Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.







(a)    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers.

By letter dated May 8, 2022, the board of directors (the "Board") terminated the Executive Services Consulting Agreement dated as of August 31, 2020, between SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., (the "Company") and John Rhee, as amended by written agreement dated March 1, 2021 (as so amended, the "ESCA") effective May 9, 2022 (the "Termination Date"). Termination of the ESCA resulted in the automatic termination of Mr. Rhee's positions as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company and all positions held at the Company's subsidiaries. Termination of the ESCA does not constitute termination of Mr. Rhee's tenure as a member of the Board. Mr. Rhee is entitled to his monthly base pay pro-rated through the Termination Date, and maintains his stock purchase options.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the ESCA described above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESCA, and the amendments thereto, which were previously filed by the Company. Please see Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this report.

The Board terminated the ESCA as it has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to refocus its efforts in North America, where its research activities with NREL are centered, and in part due to operational challenges in Asia.

The Board plans to conduct a search for a President and Chief Executive Officer as soon as possible.

The Company has provided Mr. Rhee with a copy of the disclosures that it is making in response to this Item 5.02.





(b) Election of Directors.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the SPA described above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA, and the amendments thereto, which were previously filed by the Company, pursuant to written consent permitting the Company to file the SPA. Please see Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 to this report. See also "Section 8. Other Events Item" of this report.

Pursuant to the Written Consent, LQE advises that it has expanded the size of the Company's Board from three (3) directors to five (5) directors; and, has filled the vacancies created by such expansion by the appointment of the following individuals to the Company's Board:

The Company has not received acceptance letters from either Mr. Pombo or Ms. Tara.

Additionally, notwithstanding the termination of notice sent to Mr. Rhee on May 9, 2022, Mr. Rhee emailed a notice to the Board members calling for a special meeting of the Board on Tuesday May 17, 2022. Per the notice of meeting, Mr. Rhee notes the following among the agenda items:

1. Registering Bank Signatories

2. Registering SolarWindow Shares of LQE

3. Reinstating CEO (Termination notice received)

The Company does not believe that this was a properly called meeting as Mr. Rhee was not the "Chairman" at the time the meeting was called.

Moreover, in light of the dispute between LQE and KCC disclosed in Item 8.01 below, the proposed registration of the KCC SolarWindow Securities at this time, presumably for resale, could expose the Company to substantial claims for damages.

Section 8 - Other Events Item





Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 6, 2022, Mr. Rayat, on behalf of KCC, informed the Board that pursuant to the SPA, KCC did not receive either (i) payment for the SolarWindow securities that are the subject of the SPA (the "KCC SolarWindow Securities") or (ii) written notice from LQE exercising its right to defer payment to the Final Payment Deadline (as such term is defined in the SPA) on or prior to the Initial Payment Date (as such term is defined in the SPA) as required under the terms of the SPA; as a result, Mr. Rayat stated that he believes that LQE breached the terms and conditions of the SPA.

Further, Mr. Rayat explained that Kalen notified LQE of the breach noting that failure to make payment on the Initial Payment Date absent written notice of LQE's exercise of its payment deferral option constituted a Non-Payment Event (as such term is defined in the SPA) and that under the terms of the SPA, LQE is obligated to transfer the KCC SolarWindow Securities back to KCC within five business days of the date of the Non-Payment Event.

Mr. Rayat stated that he did invite Mr. Rhee to discuss the matter if he so desired; however, Mr. Rayat and Mr. Rhee could not reach an agreement and accordingly, Mr. Rayat informed the Board that KCC is pursuing its rights to effectuate the Repurchase Completion (as such term is defined in the SPA). In that regard, Mr. Rayat noted that KCC has retained and engaged Canadian-counsel to assist with his demand that LQE transfer the KCC SolarWindow Securities back to KCC in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPA.

Mr. Rayat further noted that since the SPA is governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, it has retained and engaged Canadian-counsel to initiate legal proceedings to require LQE to abide by the terms of the SPA and transfer and reconvey the KCC SolarWindow Securities to KCC in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPA.
