In connection with the previously announced merger transaction, Mr. Ian Huen and Alidad Mireskandari became the CEO and COO, respectively of Niki BioSolutions, Inc. (the “Company”). On September 1, 2026, the Company entered into separate agreements with each of Mr. Huen and Mr. Mireskandari, each with an August 1, 2026 effective date.

 

Pursuant to the appointment letter for Mr. Huen (the “Huen Appointment letter”), Mr. Huen shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Huen Appointment letter has an initial term of six months, subject to renewal by mutual agreement. His monthly base salary is HKD 210,000, which is approximately USD26,800 based on an exchange rate of 7.84 as of the date of this Report. He may also be entitled to a discretionary bonus, subject to the discretion of the Board and approval of the Compensation Committee. In addition, Mr. Huen is eligible to receive share bonuses, with the amount, timing and vesting terms to be determined by the Company and approved by the Compensation Committee, and an option to purchase shares pursuant to the Company’s Share Option Plan. Either Mr. Huen or the Company may terminate his appointment upon not less than one month’s prior written notice, and the Company may terminate his appointment immediately upon the occurrence of certain specified events. 

 

Pursuant to the employment agreement with Mr. Mireskandari (the “Mireskandari Employment Agreement”), he will serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Under the Mireskandari Employment Agreement, Mr. Mireskandari is entitled to an annual base salary of $320,000, of which $35,000 will be deferred until the Company receives certain capital investments resulting in proceeds of $3,000,000 and which will increase to $350,000, if the Company receives aggregate capital investments of $5,000,000 during his employment. Mr. Mireskandari is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of his base salary and was granted 20,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) vesting immediately at the closing of the merger transaction and options to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the vesting conditions set forth in the Mireskandari Employment Agreement.
