Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 3, 2026, Streamex Corp. (the “Company”) executed an offer letter with Shawn Matthews (such offer letter, the “Matthews Offer Letter”), in connection with Mr. Matthew’s appointment as a non-employee director of the board of directors (“Board”) of the Company. Mr. Matthews’ term of office will continue until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or his earlier death, resignation or removal. Pursuant to the Matthews Offer Letter, Mr. Matthews will serve as a non-employee director of the Board and receive compensation consistent with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, as in effect from time to time. Under the Company’s current policy, Mr. Matthews is entitled to an annual cash retainer of $40,000, as well as an additional annual retainer of $25,000 for each Board committee on which he serves. Mr. Matthews received a restricted stock award for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), in connection with such appointment. Mr. Matthews is also eligible to receive additional annual equity compensation, the amount and form of which will be determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) in accordance with the Company’s equity compensation policies. The Company will provide Mr. Matthews with the same indemnification rights afforded to its other directors under its governing documents and applicable law, including the advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted. Additionally, the Company will maintain directors and officers liability insurance covering Mr. Matthews in his capacity as a director, on terms no less favorable than those applicable to other members of the Board. Such coverage will remain in effect for the duration of Mr. Matthews’ duration of service and for any applicable tail period following his departure, as required by law or Company policy.
