Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On September 19, 2022, NextPlat Corp (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Form 8-K") disclosing, among other things, that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") had appointed Ms. Cristina Fernandez to fill a newly-created position on the Board. This Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K to (i) clarify that Ms. Fernandez's full legal name is Maria Cristina Fernandez, and (ii) to include information about Ms. Fernandez's compensation as a director.

In connection with Ms. Fernandez's appointment to the Board, the Company entered into a Director Services Agreement (the "Director Agreement") with Ms. Fernandez on September 28, 2022. The Director Agreement has a two-year term (subject to the director's nomination and election) and provides for a cash retainer of $30,000 per year plus meeting fees of $3,000 for every Board meeting attended and $500 for each committee meeting attended (to the extent such committee meetings do not occur on the same day as a board meeting). The Director Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions and require the Company to maintain a specified amount of director and officer insurance.

The Company also entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") with Ms. Fernandez on October 1, 2022, granting Ms. Fernandez options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. Under the vesting provisions in the Stock Option Agreement, the first half of the options are fully vested on day one, with the remaining half vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. The options granted under the Stock Option Agreement were made outside of the Company's existing equity incentive plans, and were approved by the Company's independent directors.

The foregoing summaries of the Director Agreement and Stock Option Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety, by reference to the Director Agreement and Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
