Explanatory Note
Kingfish Holding Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Form 8-K/A as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 20, 2026 (the "Original 8-K"), reporting the appointment of Lisa Matthews as the Company's Chief Operating Officer effective July 14, 2026. This Amendment to the Original 8-K discloses, among other things, the material terms of Ms. Matthews's employment agreement, which was not yet finalized at the time of the filing of the Original 8-K.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed in the Original 8-K the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") appointed Lisa Matthews as the Company's Chief Operating Officer effective July 14, 2026.
Ms. Matthews, age 68, has served as a member of the Board since February 2, 2026 and is the owner of Premier Property Concierge LLC, a premier property management service provider, founded in April 2020. Prior to that, Ms. Matthews served as chief operating officer from 2016 to 2019 for Beachside Management, a vacation rental company, and previously oversaw buyer operations at One Steel Recycling from 2000 to 2015. Ms. Matthews graduated from the University of North Florida in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Ms. Matthews has 15 years of extensive experience in the metal recycling industry, which provides her with a strong background in the Company's industry.
There are no family relationships between Ms. Matthews and any other director or executive officer of the Company. Nor are there any transactions between Ms. Matthews or any member of her immediate family and the Company that would be reportable as a related party transaction under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, there is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Matthews and any other persons or entities pursuant to which she was appointed as an officer of the Company.
In connection with her appointment as Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Matthews entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with the Company effective as of July 15, 2026 (the "Effective Date"). The Employment Agreement provides for an initial one-year term commencing on the Effective Date. At the expiration of the initial term, and on each one-year anniversary thereafter, the term automatically extends for successive one-year periods unless either party provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the applicable renewal date.
The Employment Agreement entitles Ms. Matthews to an annual base salary of $75,000. Ms. Matthews is eligible to receive a signing award of 2,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, Ms. Matthews is eligible to receive performance-based stock awards evaluated at the end of each month based on the Company's monthly volume of processed and unprocessed scrap metal. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Matthews will be awarded 1,000 additional shares of common stock for each incremental increase of 500,000 pounds of processed and unprocessed scrap metal above a base monthly minimum of 1,000,000 pounds, with the base monthly minimum increasing by 500,000 pounds once each incremental target is achieved.
If Ms. Matthews' employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Ms. Matthews without Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), she will be entitled to receive only her accrued but unpaid base salary and unused vacation, unreimbursed business expenses, and accrued benefits (collectively, the "Accrued Amounts"), and any unpaid Stock Bonus will be forfeited.
If Ms. Matthews' employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Ms. Matthews for Good Reason, and subject to her execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company within 60 days following the termination date, Ms. Matthews will be entitled to receive: (i) the Accrued Amounts; (ii) continued payment of her base salary for two weeks following the termination date; and (iii) any accrued but unpaid Stock Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, pro-rated through the termination date, paid at the time such bonus would otherwise have been paid under the Employment Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference.
