On June 9, 2025, FibroBiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Jason D. Davis has been appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective as of June 9, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).

Mr. Davis, age 53, served as Chief Financial Officer at Virax Biolabs, a biotechnology company, between March 2022 and June 2025. From December 2019 to December 2021, Mr. Davis served as a vice president of finance of Durango Midstream LLC, a natural gas gathering, processing and marketing company. From February 2017 to November 2019, Mr. Davis served in various consulting roles including interim chief financial officer of Yuma Energy, Inc., a company which explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas, and a vice president of finance and treasurer of Hyperdynamics Corporation, an independent oil and gas exploration company. From June 2015 to January 2017, Mr. Davis served as the chief financial officer of Casa Exploration, LLC, an exploration & production company. Mr. Davis received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting from the University of Houston in 1997. Mr. Davis is a certified public accountant in Texas since 2004.

Mr. Davis does not have any family relationship with any of the Company’s executive officers or directors, nor has he engaged in any related party transaction with the Company that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Mr. Davis’ appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Davis, dated June 9, 2025 (the “Agreement”). Mr. Davis’ employment pursuant to the Agreement is “at-will” and is terminable by the Company for any reason with or without notice and by Mr. Davis for any reason with thirty (30) days’ written notice.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Davis is entitled to receive an initial base salary of $350,000. In addition, the Agreement provides that Mr. Davis is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 40% of his base salary, to be paid based on the achievement of company and/or individual performance goals. In connection with his entry into the Agreement, Mr. Davis was granted a stock option for 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”) under the Company’s 2022 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which vests as to 1/4 of the shares underlying the Options on the first anniversary of Mr. Davis’ date of hire and 1/48^th^ per month thereafter, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The Options will be governed by the Company’s standard form of award agreement and the Plan. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Davis will also be paid a one-time cash bonus equal to $15,000 in connection with his commencement of employment. The Agreement also provides that Mr. Davis is eligible to participate in the health and welfare benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees.

Pursuant to the Agreement, if Mr. Davis’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the Agreement) or by Mr. Davis for good reason (as defined in the Agreement), then, he will receive (i) the accrued and unpaid portion of his base salary, and accrued and unused vacation benefits, earned through the date of termination; and (ii) subject to delivering a signed release and allowing such release to become effective, (A) severance in an amount equal to nine months’ base salary, paid as if he was still employed during such 9-month period, and (B) reimbursement for up to nine (9) months of monthly COBRA premiums. If the termination of employment described in this paragraph occurs within the three months prior or thirteen months immediately following the effective date of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the Company will also accelerate the vesting of any unvested portion of the Options.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company also entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Davis, which will require the Company to indemnify Mr. Davis against certain liabilities that may arise as a result of his status or service as an executive officer of the Company. The description of the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.17 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.

The Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to CFO and/or CFO’s estate or heirs under this Agreement.

4.5.2Termination For Cause.

| --- |

4.5.3Termination by Company Without Cause or by CFO for Good Reason Not In Connection with a Change in Control. If the Company terminates CFO’s employment without Cause or if CFO resigns his employment for Good Reason, in either case at any time other than upon the occurrence of, or within the 13 months immediately following, the effective date of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay CFO’s accrued and unpaid portion of the Base Salary, and accrued and unused vacation benefits, earned through the date of termination, at the rate in effect at the time of termination, less required deductions and withholdings. In addition to the above, if CFO furnishes to the Company an executed waiver and release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or in such other form as may be specified by the Company) (the “Release”) within the time period specified therein, but in no event later than 45 days following the date CFO’s employment terminates, and if CFO allows such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms and does not revoke such Release, then (i) CFO shall be entitled to severance payable by the Company in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the amount of the Base Salary in effect at the time of termination or, if applicable, immediately prior to the event giving rise to the Good Reason (the “Severance Payments”), for a period of nine (9) months following the termination date (the “Severance Period”), and (ii) the Company will reimburse CFO for the monthly premium CFO timely pays during the Severance Period or until he obtains new employment, whichever comes first, for COBRA continuation coverage timely elected by CFO for CFO and CFO’s family (the “COBRA Coverage”). The Severance Payments will be subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings and will be made in installments and paid during a month on the Company’s regular payroll cycle as if installments were payments of the Base Salary, provided, however, that those Severance Payments otherwise scheduled to be made prior to the date the Release becomes non-revocable by CFO shall accrue and be paid in the first payroll period that follows such date. The Company will reimburse CFO for a COBRA Coverage premium payment within 30 days after the date CFO timely makes such premium payment provided that CFO provides the Company proof of such payment at the time CFO makes the payment. The Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to CFO under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” has the meaning set forth in the Plan. If the Release is found to be unenforceable by a ‎court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator in connection with any action involving CFO, then CFO shall forfeit his right to any additional Severance Payments and COBRA Coverage under this Agreement after such determination is made and CFO shall repay to the Company the entire ‎amount of the Severance Payments and the value of the COBRA Coverage benefits previously paid and/or received by him or such lesser amount as determined by the Company.‎

4.5.4Termination by Company Without Cause or by CFO for Good Reason In Connection with a Change in Control. If the Company terminates CFO’s employment without Cause or if CFO resigns his employment for Good Reason, in either case upon the occurrence of, or within the 3 months prior or 13 months immediately following, the effective date of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay CFO’s accrued and unpaid portion of the Base Salary, and accrued and unused vacation benefits, earned through the date of termination, at the rate in effect at the time of termination, less required deductions and withholdings. In addition, if CFO furnishes to the Company an executed Release within the time period specified therein, but in no event later than 45 days following the date CFO’s employment terminates, and if CFO allows such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms and does not revoke such Release, then CFO shall be entitled to: (1) the Severance Payments and COBRA Coverage on the same basis described in Section 4.5.3 above and (2) accelerated vesting of any unvested portion of the Base Option such that CFO shall become vested in 100% of the shares subject to such Base Option on the date the Release becomes non-revocable by CFO. The Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to CFO under this Agreement.

4.6Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

4.6.1“Cause”** shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) CFO’s commission of any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) CFO’s attempted commission of or participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company or its Affiliates that results in (or might have reasonably resulted in) harm to the business of the Company or its Affiliates; (iii) CFO’s intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between CFO and the Company or any statutory duty CFO owes to the Company; or (iv) CFO’s conduct that constitutes gross insubordination, incompetence or habitual neglect of duties and that results in (or might have reasonably resulted in) harm to the business of the Company or its Affiliates; provided,however, that the action or conduct described in clauses (iii) and (iv) above will constitute “Cause” only if such action or conduct continues after the Company has provided CFO with written notice thereof and thirty (30) days to cure, or otherwise remedy to the extent possible under direct control of the CFO, the same. An occurrence of “Cause” as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be based upon a good faith determination by the Board. CFO’s Disability shall not constitute Cause as set forth herein. The determination that a termination is for Cause shall be by the Board in its sole and exclusive judgment and discretion.

| - 4 - |

| --- |

4.6.2“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions: (i) the assignment to CFO of any duties or responsibilities that results in a material diminution in CFO’s function (for Section 4.5.4, as in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control); provided, however, that a change in CFO’s title or reporting relationships shall not provide the basis for a voluntary termination with Good Reason; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in CFO’s annual Base Salary (for Section 4.5.4, as in effect on the effective date of the Change in Control); provided, however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to have occurred in the event of a reduction in CFO’s annual base salary that is pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees and/or executives of the Company and that does not adversely affect CFO to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and/or executives; or (iii) a relocation of CFO’s primary business office to a location more than 50 miles from the location of CFO’s primary business office provided in Section 1.5 and which increases the CFO’s commute (for Section 4.5.4, as of the effective date of the Change in Control), except for required travel by CFO on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with CFO’s business travel obligations; provided, that CFO may not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company with written notice within ninety (90) days of the date of the initial existence of the condition that CFO believes constitutes Good Reason specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason and allowing the Company a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days following the date of such notice, and if such acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason are not so timely cured CFO must resign for Good Reason within the thirty (30) days immediately following the last day of the applicable cure period.

4.7Parachute Payment. If any payment or benefit CFO would receive pursuant to this Agreement (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “ReducedAmount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in CFO’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting Parachute Payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for CFO. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata.

In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount (as determined pursuant to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph) is subject to the Excise Tax, CFO agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount is determined in accordance with clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, CFO will have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Unless CFO and the Company agree on an alternative accounting or law firm, the accounting firm then engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting, law or consulting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting, law or consulting firm required to be made hereunder.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts such that the accounting, law or consulting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to CFO and the Company within 15 calendar days after the date on which CFO’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by CFO or the Company) or such other time as requested by CFO or the Company.

4.8Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under Section 4 of this Agreement (the “Severance Benefits”) satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section409A”) provided under Treasury Regulation §§1.409A-1(b)(4) (regarding short-term deferrals) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (involuntary separation pay). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Severance Benefits that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall not commence in connection with CFO’s termination of employment unless and until CFO has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h) (“Separation From Service”)), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to CFO without causing CFO to incur the additional taxes and/or interest under Section 409A. If the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that the Severance Benefits, or any portion thereof, constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and CFO is, on the date of his Separation From Service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance Benefit payments shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after CFO’s Separation From Service, or (ii) the date of CFO’s death (such applicable date, the “Specified Employee Initial Payment Date”), and the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (A) pay to CFO a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Severance Benefit payments that CFO would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Severance Benefits had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (B) commence paying the balance of the Severance Benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in this Agreement.

It is intended that each installment of the Severance Benefits payments provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(2)(i).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, CFO shall receive the Severance Benefits described above, if and only if CFO duly executes and returns to the Company within the applicable time period set forth therein, but in no event more than forty-five days following the date of his Separation From Service, the Release and permits the Release to become effective and non-revocable in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding any other payment schedule or other provision set forth in this Agreement, none of the Severance Benefits will be paid or otherwise provided to CFO prior to the date the Release is effective and non-revocable. Except to the extent that payments may be delayed until the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date pursuant to the preceding provisions, on the first regular payroll pay day following the date the Release is effective and non-revocable, the Company will pay CFO the Severance Benefits CFO would otherwise have received under the Agreement on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the Release, with the balance of the Severance Benefits being paid as originally scheduled. All amounts payable under the Agreement will be subject to any required payroll taxes and deductions.

5.CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. CFO has already executed, as a condition of CFO’s employment with the Company, the Company’s standard form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (the “PIIAA”). The PIIAA remains in full force and effect.

5.1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

13.INTERPRETATION; CONSTRUCTION. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Company, but CFO has been encouraged to consult with, and has consulted with, CFO’s own independent counsel and tax advisors with respect to the terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel has reviewed and revised, or had an opportunity to review and revise, this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

14.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. CFO represents and warrants that CFO is not restricted or prohibited, contractually or otherwise, from entering into and performing each of the terms and covenants contained in this Agreement, and that CFO’s execution and performance of this Agreement will not violate or breach any other agreements between CFO and any other person or entity.

15.COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, all of which together shall contribute one and the same instrument.

Accordingly, CFO and the Company hereby waive any right to a jury trial. Both CFO and the Company shall be entitled to all rights and remedies that either CFO or the Company would be entitled to pursue in a court of law. The Company shall pay any JAMS filing fee and shall pay the arbitrator’s fee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either CFO or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CFO and the Company each have the right to resolve any issue or dispute involving confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, or intellectual property rights, by court action instead of arbitration.

17.TRADE SECRETS OF OTHERS. It is the understanding of both the Company and CFO that CFO shall not divulge to the Company and/or its subsidiaries or other Affiliates any confidential information or trade secrets belonging to others, including CFO’s former employers, nor shall the Company and/or its Affiliates seek to elicit from CFO any such information. Consistent with the foregoing, CFO shall not provide to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and the Company and/or its Affiliates shall not request, any documents or copies of documents containing such information.

18.ADVERTISING WAIVER. CFO agrees to permit the Company, and persons or other organizations authorized by the Company, to use, publish and distribute advertising or sales promotional literature concerning the products and/or services of the Company, or the machinery and equipment used in the provision thereof, in which CFO’s name and/or pictures of CFO taken in the course of CFO’s provision of services to the Company appear. CFO hereby waives and releases any claim or right CFO may otherwise have arising out of such use, publication or distribution.

The Released Claims include, but are not limited to: (a) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company, or the termination of that employment; (b) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from the Company including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (c) all claims for breach of oral or written, express or implied, contract, including claims under any employment agreement or offer letter, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (d) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (e) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, misclassification, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (the “ADEA”), the Texas Labor Code, and the Texas Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended).

I hereby represent and warrant that, other than the Excluded Claims, I am not aware of any claims I have or might have against any of the Released Parties that are not included in the Released Claims. To the extent any claim is not waivable by law, I assign any such claims to the Company and understand and acknowledge that the Company has no obligation to pursue such claims.

This Release and Waiver is intended to be as broad as permissible under applicable law

I agree not to file a lawsuit to assert any such released claims and I agree not to accept any monetary damages or other personal relief (including legal or equitable relief) in connection with any administrative claim or lawsuit filed by any person or entity or governmental agency.

I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company.

This Release and Waiver does not impose any condition precedent (such as prior notice to the Company), any penalty, or any other restriction or limitation adversely affecting my rights regarding any governmental agency disclosure, report, claim, or investigation. I hereby waive anyright to recover any monetary relief or other personal remedies in any governmental agency or other action brought against the Companyon my behalf.

I acknowledge my continuing obligations under my Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Pursuant to the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement I understand that among other things, I must not use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company and I must immediately return all Company property and documents (including all embodiments of proprietary information) and all copies thereof in my possession or control. I understand and agree that my right to the Severance Payments and COBRA Coverage as provided under the terms of the Employment Agreement that I am receiving in exchange for my agreement to the terms of this Release and Waiver is contingent upon my continued compliance with my Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.

I acknowledge that I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not expressly stated herein or in the Employment Agreement.

I acknowledge that delivery of an executed signature page to this Release and Waiver by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tiff”) format shall be effective as delivery of an executed original of this Release and Waiver.
