On January 24, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Allison Davies as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company effective as of February 28, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).

Ms. Davies will also serve as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for the Company’s operating partnership, Generation Income Properties, L.P., and the Company’s other subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Company Group”). As Ms. Davies will assume the responsibilities previously undertaken by Richard Russell in his current role as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Russell’s service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer will cease as of the Effective Date.

Ms. Davies, age 41, served as Director of Real Estate Accounting of Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency”) from September 2013 until joining the Company. Regency (NASDAQ: REG) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, develops, owns, manages, and leases shopping centers. From June 2010 to August 2013, Ms. Davies served as Senior Manager of Regency. From June 2007 to May 2010, Ms. Davies served as a Manager of Regency. During her time at Regency as Director of Real Estate Accounting, Ms. Davies led a team of approximately 65 employees and worked closely with the capital markets, underwriting, and acquisitions/dispositions teams. Prior to Regency, Ms. Davies was with KPMG in their audit group. Ms. Davies is a graduate of the University of Tennessee with Bachelor’s degree Business Administration and a Masters in Accountancy.
There are no family relationships between Ms. Davies and any director or executive officer of the Company, or any person chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Davies and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Davies was selected as an officer of the Company. There are no related party transactions of the kind described in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which Ms. Davies was or is a participant.
In connection with Ms. Davies’ appointment, on January 24, 2022, the Company and Ms. Davies entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Davies Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Davies’ employment with the Company (and her term as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company) will begin on the Effective Date. The Davies Employment Agreement provides for at-will employment and is terminable at any time by either party with or without cause, and her employment will be for a term beginning on the Effective Date until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the Davies Employment Agreement, Ms. Davies will be entitled to an initial annual salary of $220,000. Ms. Davies will also be eligible for a performance bonus as adopted by the Board from time to time with a target bonus equal to 30% of her salary, and she is also eligible to receive such medical, health, vacation, and other benefits as are provided by the Company Group, in its discretion, from time to time to its employees generally, provided that the Company Group will pay 100% of the premium cost of such benefits. Ms. Davies will also be eligible to participate in any 401(k) plan that the Company Group may adopt in the future with a matching contribution of up to 3%.
Pursuant to the Davies Employment Agreement, beginning on the first anniversary of her employment, Ms. Davies will be eligible for a grant of shares of restricted stock of the Company with a grant date value of between 25% and 50% (as will be determined by the Company) of her salary then in effect, Such restricted shares shall vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date of the restricted shares, subject to acceleration upon a change of control, and otherwise be granted upon the standard terms and conditions, including vesting terms, as employee restricted share awards generally.
Under the Davies Employment Agreement, Ms. Davies is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that expire six months and one year, respectively, following termination of employment and to customary confidentiality obligations. In the event that the Company terminates Ms. Davies’ employment without cause or Ms. Davies resigns for “good reason” (generally defined as a material diminution of her job duties), Ms. Davies will be entitled to receive severance compensation of twelve months’ base salary and payment of COBRA premiums, as well
as certain accrued bonus payments, provided that Ms. Davies executes a general release of claims in favor of the Company.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Davies Employment Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
