Resignation of Member of the Board

 

On April 29, 2022, Ang Hay Kim Aileen resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Alset EHome International Inc. (the “Company”) due to personal reasons. Ms. Ang did not advise the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

 

Compensation for Chief Executive Officer

 

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement dated February 8, 2021, as supplemented on December 13, 2021 (collectively the “Employment Agreement”) between the Company and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chan Heng Fai (the “Executive”), the Executive’s compensation includes a fixed salary of $1 per month and two bonus payments each year consisting of: (i) one payment equal to Five Percent (5%) of the growth in market capitalization the Company experiences in any year; and (ii) one payment equal to Five Percent (5%) of the growth in net asset value the Company experiences in any year (the “NAV Bonus”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the calculation of NAV Bonus was to be paid within seven (7) days after publication of the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements.

 

As disclosed in a Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors recommended that the Executive be paid $4,800,000 of the NAV Bonus pursuant to the Employment Agreement at such time. The Company, one of its subsidiaries and the Executive entered into an Amendment to the Employment Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2022 (the “Amendment”), and such bonus was paid. The Amendment provided that in the event that the net asset value of the Company was determined to be a greater or lesser amount than the estimated amount, upon the completion and filing of the Company’s audited financial statements, the Executive shall be entitled to the balance of the amount that should have been paid, or shall reimburse the Company for any excess, as applicable.

 

Based on the Company’s audited financial statements that were filed with the SEC, the Company determined that the NAV Bonus should be equal to $3,614,748.55 (instead of $4,800,000), due to a difference between the anticipated and actual growth in the Company’s net asset value. Accordingly, on April 29, 2022, the Executive settled the true-up payment of $1,185,251.45 with the Company.
