Appointment of Chief Technology Officer

Effective as of November 1, 2022, KULR Technology Group, Inc. (the "Company") announced the appointment by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of Dr. William Walker as Chief Technology Officer ("CTO") of the Company.

Dr. Walker, age 32, who originally joined the company in March 2022 as Director of Engineering, has significant experience in professional and research related activities focused on thermo-electrochemical testing and analysis of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery assemblies and related thermal management products designed for space exploration applications. Prior to joining the Company, from October 2021 to March 2022, Dr. Walker was a Research Scientist at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. since October of 2021. From June 2012 to October 2021, Dr. Walker was employed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) where he focused on designing battery assemblies for human spaceflight applications capable of safely mitigating the effects of thermal runaway and preventing cell-to-cell propagation. Dr. Walker was recognized with a NASA Trailblazer award and with the RNASA Stellar Award for early career contributions to Li-ion battery thermal analysis and calorimetry methods. Dr. Walker continues to be engaged in the academic and professional communities focused on battery safety. Dr. Walker received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Houston (UH).

Dr. Walker will receive an annual salary of $210,000. In connection with his appointment, the Board granted Dr. Walker 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which shall vest in four equal annual installments. No arrangement or understanding exists between Dr. Walker and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to the management of the Company. Dr. Walker has not engaged in any transaction or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

In recognition of Dr. Walker's value to the Company and his appointment to the CTO position, Dr. Timothy Knowles changed his title from Chief Technology Officer to Executive Technical Fellow. Dr. Knowles' change in title was not as a result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. Dr. Timothy Knowles will also remain a director of the Board.

Appointment of Lead Director of the Board

Effective as of November 1, 2022, the Board appointed Dr. Joanna Massey as lead director (the "Lead Director") of the Board. Dr. Massey has served on the Board, and its committees, since June 2021. The Board, believing that the Lead Director position would enhance corporate governance and relieve certain duties of the Board's Chairman, Michael Mo, to allow him to focus on the performance of his Chief Executive Officer duties, designated certain responsibilities to be fulfilled by the Lead Director, including but not limited to: (i) coordinating the activities of the independent directors; (ii) setting the agenda for board meetings in conjunction with the CEO and corporate secretary; (iii) chairing executive sessions of the independent directors; and (iv) performing such other duties as are assigned from time to time by the board.

Management Equity Incentive Grants

Effective as of November 1, 2022, the Board unanimously approved equity grants, to each of Dr. Joanna Massey and Morio Kurosaki, equal to 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be vested in four equal quarterly installments (the first vest to occur on December 31, 2022), and grants of a fully vested 7,500 shares for services performed during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Effective as of November 1, 2022, the Board also unanimously approved the termination of a previously issued equity incentive grant of 1,500,000 to each of Keith Cochran and Michael Mo, which grants had vesting schedules corresponding with the achievement of certain market-capitalization milestones. In order to more accurately reflect the incentive compensation that the previously issued grants were intended to achieve, the Board approved replacement equity grants to each of Keith Cochran and Michael Mo in the form of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") for the stock settlement of 1,500,000 shares, which RSUs contain provisions for delayed stock settlement and for vesting to occur in four equal annual installments. The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the RSUs. For a full description of their terms, please refer to the copy of the RSUs that is incorporated by reference and filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
