Explanatory Note

On November 8, 2023, Kubient, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to report the resignation of Paul Roberts from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and President of the Company effective November 2, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed to supplement the disclosure contained in Item 5.02 of the Original Form 8-K, including the provision of the executed separation agreement entered into by and between the Company and Mr. Roberts. The Original Form 8-K otherwise remains unchanged.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 21, 2023, the Company and Mr. Roberts entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Separation Agreement”) in connection with Mr. Roberts’ resignation from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and President of the Company on November 2, 2023 (the “Separation Date”).

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the full monthly COBRA premiums for Mr. Roberts to continue healthcare insurance coverage under COBRA until the earliest of: (i) the fourth month following the month in which the Separation Date occurred; (ii) the date Mr. Roberts is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which Mr. Roberts becomes eligible to receive similar healthcare insurance coverage from another employer or another source. In consideration for such benefits, Mr. Roberts agreed to a general release of claims in favor of the Company and to fully cooperate with the Company on certain matters post-resignation.

As previously disclosed, Elisabeth DeMarse will continue to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company does not plan to fill the other positions vacated by Mr. Roberts’ resignation.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 10.1, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
