ITEM
5.02—DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS
OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On
January 6, 2022, Investview, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation
Agreements”) with Mario Romano and Annette Raynor, two of the Company’s founders, and Wealth Engineering, LLC, an affiliate
of Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor. Under the Separation Agreements, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor agreed to resign their positions as officers
and directors of the Company effective immediately as they each transition to the roles of strategic advisors to the Company. The resignations
do not reflect disagreement by either Mr. Romano or Ms. Raynor with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations,
policies or practices. This transition comes as the Company prepares itself and all its related business operations for a planned future
up-listing to a major market exchange and conducts an executive management search to fill certain executive officer vacancies with highly
experienced personnel in executive leadership within the industry sectors in which the Company operates.
Under
the terms of the Separation Agreements, the parties agreed that all agreements between the Company and Mr. Romano, Ms. Raynor and Wealth
Engineering (other than the Lock-Up Agreement executed by Mr. Romano, Ms. Raynor, Wealth Engineering and the other parties thereto dated
March 22, 2021 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”)), are terminated in all respects. The Lock-Up Agreement will continue in full force
and effect until April 25, 2025, subject to certain modification by which Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor agreed to hold certain shares of
the Company’s common stock until April 2025. Mr. Romano, Ms. Raynor, and Wealth Engineering also agreed to give DBR Capital LLC,
on behalf of the Company, an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the shares of the Company common stock owned, directly or beneficially,
by them and certain of their affiliates, in accordance with the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.
The
Separation Agreements also provide for the surrender by each of Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor of certain shares of Company common stock to
the Company in general consideration for the covenants and agreements of the parties; the payment of the balance owed under a $600,000
promissory note owed by the Company to Wealth Engineering; and the Company’s payment of $1,724,077.56 to the applicable federal
and state taxing authorities on behalf of Wealth Engineering as payment for the estimated federal and state taxes that Wealth Engineering
may be subject in connection with the vesting of 63,333,333 Company restricted shares on July 22, 2021.
In
their roles as Strategic Advisors to the Company, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor are expected to provide advisory services and general assistance
to the Company, including assisting in general corporate and operational matters as may be assigned to them from time-to-time, as well
as to assist and cooperate in responding to inquiries of the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory body or agency. In consideration of the
various elements of the Separation Agreement, including the payments made by the Company to them or on their behalf, as well as continued
payments to be made to them as Strategic Advisors, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor agreed to certain non-solicitation, non-competition and
standstill provisions in favor of the Company.
The
foregoing information is intended as a summary of the reported transaction and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete
text of the Separation Agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.98 and 10.99 to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.
