feb 6, 2023 - a. Rob, Chris, and Mark meet for breakfast at 2nd and Second to discuss the pro’s and con’s of different options for Craig’s removal and gameplan of how to proceed afterwards.

Description:

b. Rob and Chris brought up the issue about Mark wanting 70% of the company moving forward. Rob and Chris asked if it was more an issue of control or money. Mark said both. Rob and Chris probed to see if they offered up funds at the time if he would be willing to meet more in the middle if in fact money was part of the factor for wanting 70%. Mark refused and said that the possibility for paying into more of a percentage in a years’ time might be an option, but he would have to look into how that would be worded.
c. Rob and Chris stated that nothing would be entertained until the following was done:
i. Current finances needed to be laid out for everyone to see based on the apparent dire situation of the company’s finances during Craig’s time. Mark said he was working on this.
ii. Whatever comes out in the end Rob would be entitled to these four things.
1. All creative control
2. Ownership of all intellectual property since he was the one that created and founded it all
3. Rights to any money gained when Rob is in the capacity of Chef Rob Hesse
4. Any future concepts that Rob created would be under his control
d. Rob, Chris, and Mark meet with lawyer that Mark hired to remove Craig from the company and relinquish his ownership certificated to the company pending a decision on how the shares will be distributed.
e. Mark returns home shortly after this meeting
f. Chris returns home a few days later
