AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. (DUOT)

Duos Technologies names new CFO Christopher DeAlmeida and Chief Legal Officer Matthew Polimeni

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Duos Technologies Group disclosed employment agreements with its Chief Financial Officer, Christopher DeAlmeida, and newly named Chief Legal Officer, Matthew Polimeni, each with a three-year term, a $350,000 base salary, a target bonus of 80% of salary, and a grant of 200,000 restricted shares. The filing sets out severance and change-of-control terms, which determine what the executives would receive if their employment ends, so shareholders should note the potential cost of these arrangements.

Key points

  • Christopher DeAlmeida's Employment Agreement, dated October 4, 2026, is effective August 24, 2026, the date he was named CFO, and runs through August 23, 2029.
  • Matthew Polimeni was named Chief Legal Officer on September 8, 2026; his Employment Agreement, dated October 2, 2026, is effective that same date.
  • Both executives received 200,000 restricted shares, with vesting scheduled for August 31, 2029 (DeAlmeida) and October 1, 2029 (Polimeni).
  • Termination without Cause would pay one times base salary plus target bonus; after a Change of Control, the multiple rises to 1.5 times, and equity vests immediately.
