Each executive officer serves at the discretion of our Board of Directors and holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Non-employee Directors
Kevin Comcowich has served as a director of our Company since November 2016. From January 1, 2022 to February 2, 2022, he served as Interim Chief Executive Officer while the Company conducted a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer. Before retiring in 2014, he was a founder and portfolio manager of HTX Energy Fund, a hedge fund, in Houston, Texas since 2012. He was previously the President and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Sound Energy Partners and served as Chief Information Officer and research analyst for Southport Energy Plus Partners Fund. Mr. Comcowich received his MBA from the University of Indiana and earned his bachelor’s degree from the College of the Holy Cross. We believe Mr. Comcowich is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to his extensive experience in financial leadership, business strategy, investment management and global capital market strategies.
Albert D. Bolles, Ph.D. joined our Board of Directors in May 2018. Dr. Bolles currently advises multiple companies in the consumer products sector in a broad range of business initiatives. He most recently completed his tenure as the Chief Executive Officer of Landec Corporation from June 2019 to August 2022. In this role, he successfully led profitability, operating, innovation and quality improvements enabling divestiture of the Curation Foods businesses, as well as transitioning the Lifecore Biomedical business from Landec to a stand-alone corporation. Prior to his appointment at Landec, Dr. Bolles served as Executive Vice President, Chief Technology and Operations Officer of ConAgra Foods, a leading consumer products food company with net sales exceeding $16 billion. Preceding that role, Dr. Bolles was Executive Vice President, Research, Quality and Innovation for ConAgra, championing the development and execution of multiple new and improved products, realizing incremental growth for ConAgra Foods and a multiyear pipeline to sustain and advance growth further.

He currently serves as a director of SunOpta, a publicly traded company, where he is also on the Nominating and Governance Committee. We believe Dr. Bolles is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors because of his more than 30 years of experience in the consumer food industry in the areas of research and development, innovation, quality and end-to-end supply chain.
Lilian Shackelford Murray joined our Board of Directors in June 2018, and had previously served as a Board observer to the Company from March 2007 until May 2015.

President and CEO of Arysta Life Science, a publicly-held agricultural solutions company.

Ms. Yoder received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural technology and systems management from Michigan State University, with an emphasis in crop and soil science. She has served on boards of various agricultural associations and universities. We believe Ms. Yoder is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to her extensive experience across various agriculture sectors, deep knowledge of the capital markets and public board governance expertise.

Ms. Carosella began her career in the advertising, branding and innovation agency business, serving as President of her own agency after working for several years with large, multi-national agencies. We believe Ms. Carosella is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors because of her more than 30 years of experience in consumer products and specifically in the areas of strategic marketing, branding and new product innovation.

Board Composition
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The number of directors is fixed by our Board of Directors, subject to the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws. Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, six of whom qualify as “independent” under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Our bylaws permit our Board of Directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors, and as of March 31, 2023, seven directors are currently authorized.

Table of Contents
In accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation and our bylaws, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:
The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change of control. Under Delaware law, our directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Directors may not be removed by our stockholders without cause.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees, and the independence of each director, and has considered whether any director has a material relationship with the Company that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that Dr. Bolles, Mses. Shackelford Murray, Yoder and Carosella, and Messrs. Comcowich and Waller do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Applicable Rules ”). In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director or affiliated entities, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
The Board of Directors also has determined that each director is a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors currently has an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board of Directors are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee is currently comprised of Mr. Waller and Mses. Shackelford Murray and Yoder, with Mr. Waller serving as audit committee chair. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee satisfies the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. Our Board of Directors also has determined that Ms. Shackelford Murry and Mr. Waller are audit committee financial experts within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The responsibilities of our audit committee include, among other things:

Table of Contents
In accordance with and pursuant to Section 10A(i)(3) of the Exchange Act, our Board of Directors has delegated to Mr. Waller the authority to pre-approve any auditing and permissible non-auditing services to be performed by our registered independent public accounting firm, provided that all such decisions to pre-approve an activity are presented to the full audit committee at its first meeting following any such decision.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee is currently comprised of Ms. Shackelford Murray and Messrs. Waller and Comcowich and Dr. Bolles, with Ms. Shackelford Murray serving as compensation committee chair. Mr. Comcowich did not serve on this committee while he served as our Interim Chief Executive Officer. Each member of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence for compensation committee members under current Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of our compensation committee is also a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The purpose of our compensation committee is to discharge the responsibilities of our Board of Directors relating to compensation of our executive officers.
The responsibilities of our compensation committee include, among other things:

Nominating and Governance Committee
Our nominating and governance committee is currently comprised of Mses. Yoder and Carosella and Mr. Comcowich, each of whom is a non-employee member of our Board of Directors, with Ms. Yoder serving as nominating and governance committee chair. Mr. Comcowich did not serve on this committee while he served as our Interim Chief Executive Officer. Each member of our nominating and governance committee meets the requirements for independence for compensation committee members under current Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations.
The responsibilities of our nominating and governance committee include, among other things:
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in the Investors section of our website at http://ir.arcadiabio.com under “Corporate Governance.” If we make any substantive amendments to, or grant any waivers from, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, certain officers, and ten percent (10%) stockholders to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based upon a review of filings with the SEC and/or written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all reports for the Company’s officers and directors that were required to be filed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act were timely filed in 2022.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions
Our compensation committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to the Board of Directors on its discussions, decisions and other actions. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to our compensation committee, attends committee meetings, and is involved in the determination of compensation for the respective executive officers that report to him, except that our Chief Executive Officer does not make recommendations as to his own compensation. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to our compensation committee regarding short- and long-term compensation for all executive officers (other than himself) based on our results, an individual executive officer’s contribution toward these results, and performance toward individual goal achievement. Our compensation committee then reviews the recommendations and other data and makes decisions as to total compensation for each executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer, as well as each individual compensation component. Our compensation committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. The independent members of the Board of Directors make the final decisions regarding executive compensation for our Chief Executive Officer.

Severance and Change in Control Agreements
In February 2015, our Board approved severance and change in control agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) for each of our executive officers, the specific terms of which are discussed below. Other than for Mr. Jacot’s CIC Agreement, each of the CIC Agreements expires by its terms on the third anniversary of the effective date of such agreement.

Pursuant to the CIC Agreements, if we terminate an executive’s employment with us for a reason other than cause (as defined in the CIC Agreements) or the executive’s death or disability (as defined in the CIC Agreements) at any time other than during the twelve-month period immediately following a change of control (as defined in the CIC Agreements), then such executive will receive the following severance benefits from the Company: (i) severance in the form of base salary continuation for a period of six months (three months for Ms. Pitlik and nine months for Mr. Jacot); (ii) reimbursement for premiums paid for coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or COBRA, for the executive and the executive’s eligible dependents for up to six months (three months for Ms. Pitlik and nine months for Mr. Jacot); (iii) a pro-rated portion of the termination year bonus based on the percentage of the year that executive was employed by the Company in the year of termination and; and (iv) for Mr. Jacot, vesting shall accelerate as to those outstanding equity awards that would vest in the twelve months following the date of termination under normal vesting during that period as if Mr. Jacot were employed for all of that twelve month period. In addition, if Mr. Jacot resigns from employment with us for good reason (as defined in his CIC Agreement) other than during the twelve-month period immediately following a change of control, Mr. Jacot will receive the same severance benefits from the Company that Mr. Jacot would have received if he were terminated without cause.
If during the twelve-month period immediately following a change of control (as defined in the CIC Agreements), (x) we terminate an executive’s employment with us for a reason other than cause (as defined in the CIC Agreements) or the executive’s death or disability (as defined in the CIC Agreements), or (y) an executive resigns from such employment for good reason (as defined in the CIC Agreements), then, in lieu of the above described severance benefits, such executive shall receive the following severance benefits from the Company: (i) severance in the form of base salary continuation for a period of twelve months (three months for Ms. Pitlik); (ii) reimbursement for premiums paid for coverage pursuant to COBRA, for the executive and the executive’s eligible dependents for up to twelve months (three months for Ms. Pitlik); (iii) vesting shall accelerate as to 100% of all of the executive’s outstanding equity awards; and (iv) a pro-rated portion of the termination year bonus based on the percentage of the year that executive was employed by the Company in the year of termination. In addition, if other than during the twelve-month period immediately following a change of control, Mr. Jacot’s employment with the Company is terminated due to Mr. Jacot’s death or disability, then Jr. Jacot shall receive the following severance benefits: (i) vesting shall accelerate as to those outstanding equity awards that would vest in the twelve months following the date of termination under normal vesting during that period as if Mr. Jacot were employed for all of that twelve month period and (ii) a pro-rated portion of the termination year bonus based on the percentage of the year that Mr. Jacot was employed by the Company in the year of termination.
An executive’s receipt of severance payments or benefits pursuant to a CIC Agreement is subject to the executive signing a release of claims in our favor and complying with certain restrictive covenants set forth in the CIC Agreement.
Each CIC Agreement contains a “better after-tax” provision, which provides that if any of the payments to an executive constitutes a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, the payments will either be (i) reduced or (ii) provided in full to the executive, whichever results in the executive receiving the greater amount after taking into consideration the payment of all taxes, including the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, in each case based upon the highest marginal rate for the applicable tax.
Mr. Comcowich did not enter into a CIC Agreement with us in connection with his service as our Interim Chief Executive Officer.

In addition, each non-employee director shall receive the following amount for each regular meeting of the Board attended: (i) $2,500 if attendance is in person or via teleconference or (ii) $500 if attendance is through telephone; provided, however, that the total meeting fees may not exceed $10,000 per calendar year.
The chair and non-chair members of the Board’s three standing committees are entitled to the following additional annual cash fees (payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial service in a quarter):

The chair of the Board is entitled to an additional $40,000 annual cash fee (payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial service in a quarter). Mr. Comcowich did not receive any cash fees for serving as a director while he served as Interim Chief Executive Officer in 2022.
Equity Compensation
Upon joining the Board, each newly elected non-employee director (excluding an employee director who ceases to be an employee, but who remains a director) receives an initial option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to (x) $60,000 divided by (y) the Black-Scholes value of a share on the date of grant, as determined consistent with the historical practices of the Company. This initial option will vest and become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the director’s continued service through each vesting date. The per share exercise price for the initial option shall be equal to the fair market value for a share of our common stock on the date of grant, which shall be equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. An employee director who ceases to be an employee, but who remains a director, will not receive an option grant.
On the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, each non-employee director (including a non-employee director who was previously an employee) will be granted an annual option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to equal to (x) $30,000 divided by (y) the Black-Scholes value of a share on the date of grant, as determined consistent with the historical practices of the Company. This annual option will vest and become exercisable on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date of our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the director’s continued service through the vesting date. The per share exercise price for the annual option shall be equal to the fair market value for a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

Notwithstanding the vesting schedules described above, the vesting of each equity award will accelerate in full in case of a termination of directorship due to a change in control.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2023 by:
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. To our knowledge, no person or entity, except as set forth below, is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the voting power of our common stock as of the close of business on March 31, 2023.
Under SEC rules, the calculation of the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person includes both outstanding shares of our common stock then owned as well as any shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2023. Shares subject to those options or warrants for a particular person are not included as outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based percentage ownership of our common stock on 857,572 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
In addition to director and executive officer compensation arrangements discussed above under “Executive Compensation,” since January 1, 2021, we have not been a party to any transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or entities affiliated with them, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than as described below.
In 2021, the Company leased land on the island of Molokai, Hawaii from an entity owned by Kevin Comcowich, the Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors, and his wife. The Company used to grow hemp on this land to support the operations of its joint venture Archipelago Ventures Hawaii, until the expiration of the lease in February 2022. The original lease was executed in February 2019, covers 10 acres of land, has a term of two years and provides for rent payments of $1,200 per acre per year. In March and April 2020, the Company entered into two lease amendments for two additional 10-acre parcels and two additional 15-acre parcels, at the same lease rate of $1,200 per acre per year, and with a term of two years. The Company made lease payments in the amount of $0 and $84,000 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold Archipelago equipment to Mr. Comcowich at fair value of $9,500.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our non-employee directors. Each agreement provides, among other things, that we will indemnify the director to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law against liabilities and certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by the officer in any action or proceeding), that may arise by reason of their service to us or at our direction, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
On August 16, 2022, we sold to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (i) 2,450,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.05876 per share, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,272,506 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.05866 per share of common stock underlying each such warrant and (iii) preferred investment options exercisable for a total of 4,722,506 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.93376 per share.
On March 6, 2023, we sold to certain institutional and accredited investors (i) 165,500 shares of our common stock (the “2023 Shares”) at a purchase price per share of $9.00, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 500,834 shares of our common stock; (iii) Series A preferred investment options (the “Series A Investment Options”) to purchase up to a total of 666,334 shares of our common stock and (iv) Series B
17
Table of Contents
preferred investment options (the “Series B Investment Options”, and together with the Series A Investment Options, the “Investment Options”) to purchase up to a total of 666,334 shares of our common stock. The purchase price for the Pre-Funded Warrants was $8.9999 per share of common stock underlying each such warrant (equal to the purchase price per share of common stock, minus the exercise price of $0.0001). Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Investment Options are exercisable at a price of $9.00 per share. Pursuant to this transaction, (i) Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. purchased 82,500 shares of common stock, 250,834 Pre-Funded Warrants, 333,334 Series A Investment Options and 333,334 Series B Investment Options, (ii) Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. purchased 250,000 Pre-Funded Warrants, 250,000 Series A Investment Options and 250,000 Series B Investment Options, and (iii) Altium Growth Fund Ltd. purchased 83,000 shares of common stock, 83,000 Series A Investment Options and 83,000 Series B Investment Options.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our audit committee charter states that our audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving in advance any related party transaction, which is a transaction between us and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect interest. Our audit committee has adopted policies and procedures for review of, and standards for approval of, such a related party transaction. For purposes of these policies and procedures, a related person is defined as an executive officer, director, or nominee for director, including his or her immediate family members, or a beneficial owner of greater than 5% our common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year.
It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors, and principal stockholders and their affiliates are approved by the audit committee of our Board of Directors and are on terms no less favorable to us than those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

Pre-approval Policy.
