Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. entered into an amended and restated Management Services Agreement with Ljungaskog Consulting AB, the firm of CEO Thomas H. Jensen, effective June 1, 2026. The agreement fully replaces the prior 2024 management services arrangement.

The consultant’s 2026 base compensation will be paid 80% in Swedish Krona and 20% in U.S. dollars, equal to SEK 6,000,000 and US$163,043. The prior one-time US$100,000 signing bonus is removed. Annual bonus metrics are to be set each year, with any bonus capped at 60% of fees paid and, if earned, payable by March 15 following year-end.

For a termination by the company for convenience, the notice period increases from 15 to 30 days and the consultant becomes eligible for a termination payment equal to 12 months of the monthly fee, in addition to accrued amounts, subject to conditions such as a release and cooperation. Upon a termination by the consultant for Good Reason, severance increases from nine months to 12 months of the monthly fee on similar conditions. The agreement also adds provisions addressing Sections 409A and 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code when applicable.

Management Services Agreement financial

A management services agreement is a contract where one party hires another to run specific business functions—like finance, operations, or marketing—on its behalf, similar to hiring an external manager to run part of a household. Investors care because the deal spells out fees, responsibilities, and decision-making authority, which affect a company’s costs, operational performance and governance, and can change future cash flow and risk.

Item 5.02(e)

 

As previously disclosed, effective June 1, 2024, Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Original MSA”) with Ljungaskog Consulting AB, a Swedish limited liability company (the “Consultant”), owned and managed by Thomas H. Jensen (“Mr. Jensen”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Effective as of June 1, 2026 (the “A&R Effective Date”), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement (the “A&R MSA”) with the Consultant. The A&R MSA amends and restates the Original MSA in its entirety. Except as described below, the material terms of the A&R MSA are substantially consistent with the material terms of the Original MSA previously disclosed by the Company.

 

Base Compensation and Bonus. Under the A&R MSA, the Monthly Fee is payable in accordance with Attachment B to the A&R MSA, which provides that the Consultant’s annual base salary for 2026 will be paid 80% in Swedish Krona and 20% in U.S. dollars, equal to SEK 6,000,000 and US$163,043. The A&R MSA eliminates the one-time $100,000 signing bonus provided under the Original MSA. The A&R MSA further provides that the Company shall endeavor to issue new annual bonus performance metrics on or before March 31 of each calendar year and, if no new metrics are issued by that date, the prior calendar year’s bonus performance metrics will apply. The annual bonus will be capped at 60% of the Monthly Fees paid to the Consultant in a calendar year. If earned, any annual bonus is payable on or before March 15 following the end of the applicable calendar year.

 

Termination for Convenience by the Company. The A&R MSA increases the Company’s notice period for a termination for convenience from 15 days to 30 days. In addition, upon a termination by the Company for convenience, the Consultant is entitled to the Accrued Payments and a “Termination Payment” equal to 12 months of the Monthly Fee, payable in semi-monthly installments, subject to the Consultant’s compliance with surviving obligations, execution of a general release of claims, and cooperation with transition matters and Company investigations during the payment period. Under the Original MSA, upon a termination by the Company for convenience, the Consultant was entitled only to the Accrued Payments.

 

Other Termination Changes. The A&R MSA provides that, upon a termination by the Consultant for convenience, the Company may waive all or a portion of the Consultant’s 30-day notice period. The A&R MSA further provides that, upon a termination by the Consultant for Good Reason, the Consultant is entitled to the Accrued Payments plus the Termination Payment, subject to the Consultant’s compliance with surviving obligations and execution of a general release of claims. Under the Original MSA, upon a termination for Good Reason, the Consultant was entitled to the Accrued Payments plus an additional nine months of the Monthly Fee, subject to similar release and continuing-obligation conditions.

 

Additional Provisions. The A&R MSA adds provisions addressing Section 409A and Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, in each case if the Consultant is subject to federal income taxation in the United States at the applicable time.

 

The foregoing description of the A&R MSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R MSA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
