5.02 (e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On January 15, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) awarded one-time discretionary cash bonuses for Jeffrey Parker, Chief Executive Officer and Cynthia French, Chief Financial Officer, in the amounts of $350,000 and $100,000, respectively. These bonuses were awarded in recognition of the officers’ significant contributions to the Company’s strategic initiatives, including Mr. Parker’s leadership in overseeing the Company’s patent litigation efforts and supporting its financial stability, and Ms. French’s role in maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing costs associated with outside professional services. The bonuses also partially offset voluntary 20% reductions in their base salaries since mid-2018 as part of their efforts to support the Company during a period of significant challenges. The bonuses reflect the Compensation Committee’s intent to appropriately compensate these executives for their leadership and sustained commitment to advancing the Company’s goals.
