Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Minim, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2021 (the "Original 8-K"), regarding its entry into an agreement with the executives identified therein. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to amend the text of the Original 8-K to reflect a clarification that the Severance Agreement was filed as a compensatory arrangement with respect to each executive (as defined in the Original 8-K) to provide supplemental benefits in the event of a future termination of employment. There have been no changes with respect to these executives' employment status at Minim, Inc. This action is part of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors work to ensure benefit packages remain competitive in the talent market.

Item 5.02, as amended and restated, is set forth in its entirety below. Except as stated in this Explanatory Note, no other information or exhibits contained in the Original 8-K are changed. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 8-K and the Company's other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 21, 2021, Minim, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an agreement with each of Sean Doherty, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Nicole Zheng, the Company's President and Chief Marketing Officer, and John Lauten, the Company's Chief Operating Officer (each of Messrs. Doherty and Lauten and Ms. Zheng, individually, an "Executive") that supplements their existing employment arrangements by providing for them to receive certain compensatory benefits upon specified circumstances relating to a future separation of employment from the Company. The agreement provides that each Executive will receive six months' of continued base salary and certain insurance premiums to be paid upon any termination of employment without Good Cause or for Good Reason (as defined therein).

If an Executive's employment is terminated without Good Cause or for Good Reason within three months prior to or twelve months after a Change of Control (as defined therein), the Executive will receive a lump sum of twelve months' base salary and certain insurance premiums, and a pro-rated annual bonus. Mr. Doherty's, Ms. Zheng's and Mr. Lauten's annual base compensation are $175,000.00, $200,000.00, and $201,240.00, respectively. The agreement further provides that an Executive's outstanding and unvested equity subject to time-based vesting will be accelerated and deemed fully vested.

The foregoing description of the agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
