**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On January 5, 2026, Sadot Group Inc. (the "Company") and Michael Roper, the Company's Chief Governance and Compliance Officer, entered into a Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Roper's employment with the Company will terminate by mutual agreement effective as of January 19, 2026 (the "Effective Date").

Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, in consideration for Mr. Roper's execution of a general release of claims and other covenants, the Company has agreed to provide the following separation benefits: (i) payment of severance and unpaid bonus in the aggregate amount of $734,000, payable in bi-weekly installments over a period of 120 months commencing on March 1, 2026, with a 25% discount applied (resulting in a reduced total payment of $550,500) if the Company pays the full amount during 2026; (ii) accelerated vesting of all unvested restricted stock awards as of the Effective Date (with forfeiture of all unvested stock options); (iii) payment by the Company of the full cost of Mr. Roper's COBRA health insurance coverage for up to 18 months following the Effective Date; (iv) continuation of directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage for Mr. Roper for four years following the execution of the Separation Agreement; and (v) indemnification of Mr. Roper with respect to current litigation and any claims arising out of his actions during his employment with the Company.

The Separation Agreement also includes customary provisions, including non-disparagement, cooperation in certain matters, return of Company property, and continuation of confidentiality and non-competition obligations. Additionally, the Separation Agreement provides the Company with a 90-day period from execution to review and potentially challenge details of Mr. Roper's prior employment agreement, and grants the Company a 30-day cure period in the event of any missed payments before Mr. Roper may initiate legal action. In the event of a default by the Company that is not cured within 30 days of written notice, all remaining amounts under the Separation Agreement become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company intends to engage Mr. Roper on a consulting basis going forward.

Effective as of January 5, 2026, the Company terminated the employment of Aimee Infante as the Company's Chief Marketing Officer. There is no separation agreement between the Company and Ms. Infante.

**WHEREAS**, in consideration for Executive's agreement to execute a comprehensive release of all Company Obligations under the Employment Agreement as well as all other claims as more fully described in Section 3.1 below (the "Release"), Company agrees to provide certain separation benefits;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1 Effective Date. The parties agree that this agreement shall take effect on January 19, 2026 (the "**Effective Date** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2 Mutual Termination. Executive's employment terminates on the Effective Date by mutual agreement of the Parties. Executive acknowledges
this termination does not constitute an involuntary termination under the Employment Agreement. Upon termination, Executive will receive
payment for all accrued but unused holiday pay, personal days, vacation days and reimbursement for all outstanding business expenses in
accordance with the Employment Agreement, Company policy and applicable law. Such payments shall be made with Executive's final
payroll.

able to pay the full obligations here under, all during 2026, then the Executive agrees that a 25% discount will be applied to the above
amount, resulting in a total payment of $550,500.00 (five hundred and fifty thousand five hundred dollars). The Company will have a 90
day period from the date hereof to review the above reference previously signed employment agreement. Should the Company challenge some
or all of the details of the above employment agreement within 90 days from the date hereof, it will be brought up for discussions and
negotiations with the Executive.
