Laird Superfood, Inc. (the “Company”) previously reported in its Prospectus on 424(b)(4) dated September 22, 2020 that Luan Pham, Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer, would be retiring on December 31, 2020, and that he qualified for certain benefits by reason of a departure due to retirement. Mr. Pham retired from the Company on such date, executed a separation agreement and general release of claims (the “Separation Agreement”), and thereby became entitled to have the term of certain stock options extended for five (5) years from the date of separation, notwithstanding his departure. The time-based vesting of certain of Mr. Pham’s stock options also accelerated effective as of December 31, 2020.

The Separation Agreement also contained a general release and various other customary terms in favor of the Company. The description of the Separation Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit A to Mr. Pham’s Employment Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.12 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated September 10, 2020.
