On February 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of fuboTV Inc.

Before Tegna, Mr. Janedis served as Managing Director, Senior Equity Research Analyst at each of Jefferies LLC from 2014 to 2018, UBS Securities from 2010-2014 and Wells Fargo Securities from 2006 to 2010.

Mr. Janedis received his bachelor's degree in Economics and Master of Business Administration from New York University.

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Janedis as Chief Financial Officer, the Company entered into an employment letter setting forth the terms of his employment. The employment letter provides for an initial annual base salary of $430,000 and an annual bonus with a target amount equal to 50% of his annual base salary. In connection with Mr. Janedis' appointment, the Company will grant him an award of restricted stock units covering that number of shares of the Company's common stock with a value equal to $2,000,000 on the grant date based on the volume weighted average closing price per share of our common stock for the month in which his employment commences (the "Initial RSU Award"). The Initial RSU Award will be granted pursuant to the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and will be subject to the terms and conditions of a restricted stock unit award agreement. The Initial RSU Award will vest over a four-year period, subject to Mr. Janedis' continued employment with the Company through each such vesting date.

Regardless of the manner in which Mr. Janedis' employment terminates, he will be entitled to receive amounts previously earned during the term of his employment, including unpaid salary and accrued but unpaid benefits. In addition, Mr. Janedis will be entitled to certain severance benefits under his employment letter, subject to his execution of a release of claims. Upon termination without "cause" or resignation for "good reason" (as both are defined in the employment letter), Mr. Janedis will be entitled to: (A) continuation of his base salary for 12 months, (B) a lump sum equal to his annual target bonus for the year in which such termination occurs; and (C) accelerated vesting of any then-unvested portion of the Initial RSU Award.
