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

On August 6, 2020, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Christopher David, the Company's President and a member of the board of directors, effective August 5, 2020.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. David agreed to serve as the Company's President. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to pay Mr. David a monthly salary of $8,000. In addition, the Company agreed to grant Mr. David an option to purchase 5,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The option will vest fully on the date of grant and expire on August 6, 2025. Such option was granted to Mr. David on August 6, 2020 pursuant to that certain Option Agreement #32, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Employment Agreement terminates either (i) upon the effective date that the Company's common stock is uplisted to a national exchange (NASDAQ or NYSE); or (ii) upon the effective date the Company's current Chief Executive Officer, Robert Mattacchione, is no longer the Company's Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Company may terminate Mr. David at any time, with or without Cause (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that if the Company terminates Mr. David without Cause, the option granted in referenced in the Employment Agreement will be deemed granted and fully vested and is not subject to revocation or return. "Cause" means Mr. David must have (i) been willful, gross or persistent in his inattention to his duties or he committed acts which constitute willful or gross misconduct and, after written notice of the same, has been given the opportunity to cure the same within 30 days after such notice, or (ii) been found guilty of having committed actual fraud against the Company.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
