Item 5.02

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

On February 14, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Comera Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) met to determine the non-equity incentive compensation to be paid to each of Jeffrey Hackman, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Campbell, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Neal Muni, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (together the “Named Executive Officers”) in respect of their achievement of 2022 performance objectives. In furtherance of the Company’s cash conservation efforts and to better align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with those of the Company’s stockholders, the Board elected to grant options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) to the Named Executive Officers in lieu of performance-based cash compensation. The Options were granted under the Comera Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) and have an exercise price of $1.30 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Twenty-five percent of the shares underlying the Options vest on February 14, 2024, with the remaining shares vesting on a monthly basis on the 14th day of each month thereafter, in each case, subject to continuous service to the Company, such that the Options shall be fully vested on February 14, 2027.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 3, 2023, as amended on February 8, 2023, which was declared effective on February 10, 2023 (File No. 333-269564) (the “Registration Statement”). The Summary Compensation Table included in the Registration Statement did not include non-equity incentive plan compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2022 because 2022 non-equity incentive plan compensation had not yet been determined. In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the table below is updated to provide this information.
