Zivo Bioscience, Inc.

COVID-19 STATEMENT. The Company is carefully monitoring the effects the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on its operations.  Currently, the main potential effect is the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to raising capital.  Based on the nature of our operations, employees are able to work remotely with access to teleconferencing and video conferencing.  The research partners utilized by the Company are currently providing services as requested, although some University researchers have limited availability as their campuses have closed down, with the expectation they will reopen sometime in April 2020.  However, the Company cannot make any assurances the research partners will open as expected and perform at the levels as required until the COVID-19 situation is resolved. Other contract research organizations have remained open and accessible, although some resources have delayed response effectiveness.

On November 29, 2019, after approval from the Board, the Company entered into and adopted the 2019 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Incentive Plan”) for the purpose of enhancing the Registrant’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified directors, officers, key employees and other persons and to motivate such persons to improve the business results and earnings of the Company by providing an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company. The 2019 Incentive Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the Board who will, amongst other duties, have full power and authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for under the 2019 Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the 2019 Incentive Plan, the Company may grant options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, unrestricted shares and dividend equivalent rights. The Plan has a duration of 10 years.

Subject to adjustment as described in the 2019 Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of common shares (“Shares”) available for issuance under the 2019 Incentive Plan is One Hundred Two Million (102,000,000) Shares. The exercise price of each Share subject to an Option (as defined in the 2019 Incentive Plan) shall be at least the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2019 Incentive Plan) (except in the case of a more than 10% shareholder of the Company, in which case the price should not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value) on the date of the grant of a Share and shall have a term of no more than ten years. As of December 31, 2019, 29 million Options have been issued to the Chief Executive Officer (see Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies: Employment Agreement).
