Table of Contents
HOW MANY VOTES DO I HAVE?
All shareholders of record as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held on the Record Date for each matter presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD AND A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME?
Shareholder of Record.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name.  If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.

IF I AM A SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD, HOW DO I VOTE?
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote using the internet, by telephone, or (if you received printed proxy materials) by mailing a completed proxy card. To vote by mailing a proxy card, please sign and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed prepaid envelope and your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you directed. The instructions for voting using the internet or telephone are set forth in the Notice. You may also vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may request a ballot at the Annual Meeting. For direction to attend the meeting and vote in person, please contact the Corporate Secretary.

IF I AM A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME, HOW DO I VOTE?
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you will receive instructions from the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization (the “record holder”), that must be followed for the record holder to vote your shares per your instructions.

If your shares are held in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from the record holder and bring it with you to the meeting. We recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

WHAT IS A QUORUM?
A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. There were 19,795,73219,474,528 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. Accordingly, shares representing 9,897,8669,737,265 votes must be present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business.

If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

WHAT IS A BROKER NON-VOTE?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not respond to a request for voting instructions from the record holder of your shares (typically a bank or broker), the record holder may generally vote on specified routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the record holder does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the record holder will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on that matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” In the Annual Meeting, Proposal One (election of directors), and Proposal Two (advisory resolution regarding compensation of named executive officers), and Proposal Three (approval of the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan) are considered non-routine matters on which brokers are not empowered to vote. Accordingly, there may be broker non-votes on these proposals.

9
Table of Contents
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED FOR EACH PROPOSAL?
With regards to Proposal One, directors are elected for a full term if, and only if, the nominee receives the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that nominee (meaning the number of shares validly voted “for” the nominee exceeds the number of shares voted “against” that nominee). If a nominee receives a plurality of votes in favor of election but fails to receive a majority of votes, he or she will be elected to a term of office ending on the earlier of 90 days after the date on which results of the election are certified and the day on which a person is selected by the Board to fill the office held by such director. This 90-day transitional period is required by Utah law and provides the Board time to identify an appropriate replacement, decide to leave the directorship vacant or otherwise respond to such a failed election.

Shares not represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Should any nominee become unavailable to serve before the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted by the proxy holders for such other person as may be designated by our Board of Directors.



10
Table of Contents
Approval of Proposal Two requires the votes cast in favor of the proposal to exceed the votes cast against such proposal. Proposal Two is only advisory and the outcome of the vote is not binding on the Company and the Board of Directors. The Company and the Board of Directors will consider the outcome of this vote when setting compensation for the named executive officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal Two.


Approval of Proposal Three requires the votes cast in favor of the proposal to exceed the votes cast against such proposal. Shares not represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Approval of Proposal Four requires the votes cast in favor of the proposal to exceed the votes cast against such proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal Four.Three. The ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm is a matter on which a broker is generally empowered to vote. Accordingly, no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal Four.
Three.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT GIVE SPECIFIC VOTING INSTRUCTIONS?
If you are a shareholder of record and you submit an executed proxy, but do not specify in your proxy instructions how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you submit an executed voting instruction form, but do not specify in your voting instruction form how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not respond to a request for voting instructions, your bank or broker may generally exercise its discretionary authority to vote your shares on routine matters (Proposal Four)Three), but your bank or broker will not be permitted to vote your shares with respect to non-routine matters (Proposals One Two and Three)Two). See also above for an explanation of “broker non-votes.”

Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals described in this Proxy Statement, if any other business is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your signed proxy will give authority to the Board to vote on such matters at their discretion.

WHAT IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF PROXY MATERIALS, PROXY CARD OR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM?
If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, proxy card or voting instruction form because your shares are held in multiple accounts or registered in different names or addresses, please vote your shares held in each account to ensure that all of your shares will be voted.

WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES AND HOW WILL MY VOTE(S) BE COUNTED?
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. If your proxy is properly submitted, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions.


10
Table of Contents
CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE VOTED?
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting by filing a notice of revocation or another proxy card with a later date with the Corporate Secretary at Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc., 2901 West Bluegrass Blvd., Suite 100, Lehi, Utah 84043, or by submitting a new vote via internet or telephone. All voting revocations or changes must be received by the Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting to be valid. If you are a shareholder of record and attend the Annual Meeting and vote by ballot, any proxy that you submitted previously to vote the same shares will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Annual Meeting will be counted.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you should contact your record holder to obtain instructions if you wish to revoke or change your vote before the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in street name, your vote in person at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you have obtained and present a legal proxy issued in your name from your record holder.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K following the Annual Meeting.

The deadline to submit a shareholder proposal for the 20212022 Annual Meeting, which was set forth in our Proxy Statement relating to our 20202021 Annual Meeting, has passed and shareholders can no longer submit shareholder proposals for the 20212022 Annual Meeting.

Any such proposal must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to in this proxy statement as the “Exchange Act”.

If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal at our 20222023 Annual Meeting of shareholders and the proposal is not intended to be included in our proxy statement relating to the 20222023 Annual Meeting, the shareholder must give advance notice to us prior to the deadline (the “Bylaw Deadline”), for the Annual Meeting determined in accordance with our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

WHO WILL BEAR THE COST OF SOLICITING PROXIES?
The Company will bear the entire cost of the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional solicitation materials furnished to shareholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage firms, banks, broker-dealers or other similar organizations holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward the solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. We may reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by personal contact, telephone, facsimile, email or any other means by our Directors, officers or employees, and we will reimburse any reasonable expenses incurred for that purpose. No additional compensation will be paid to those individuals for any such services.

Proposal One:
Election of Directors
GENERAL
Directors are elected by shareholders at the Company’s annual meetings of shareholders.

If a nominee receives a plurality of the votes in favor of his or her election but fails to receive a majority of votes, he or she will be elected to a term of office ending on the earlier of 90 days after the date on which results of the election are certified and the day on which a person is selected by the Board to fill the office held by such director.Director. This 90-day transitional period is required by Utah law and provides the Board time to identify an appropriate replacement, decide to leave the directorship vacant or otherwise respond to such a failed election.

Board Structure and Risk Oversight
 
LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD
Mr. Teets serveswill serve as the Chairman of the Board. AsBoard until May 1, 2022. Effective May 1, 2022, Mr. Moss will become our Chairman Mr. Teetsof the Board. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for chairing Board meetings and meetings of shareholders, setting the agendas for Board meetings and providing information to the Board members in advance of meetings and between meetings. All of our directors are independent under applicable NASDAQ corporate governance rules, except for Mr. Moorehead. The Board believes that our independent directors provide effective oversight of management. In addition to feedback provided during the course of Board meetings, the independent directors have regular executive sessions without any members of management present.

We believe that the leadership structure of the Board is appropriate because it provides both unified and consistent leadership, effective independent oversight and expertise in the management of our complex operations as a consumer product and direct selling business.

BOARD'S ROLE IN THE OVERSIGHT OF RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board of Directors is primarily responsible for assessing risks associated with the Company’s business. However, the Board delegates certain of such responsibilities to other groups. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with management the Company’s policies and procedures with respect to risk assessment and risk management relating to the Company's financial and accounting systems, accounting policies, investment strategies, compliance with mandates from the SEC and other government bodies that regulate the financial and securities industry, and other matters. Under the direction of the Audit Committee, the Company’s internal audit department assists the Company in the evaluation and improvement of the effectiveness of risk management.

The Risk Management Committee oversees and reviews the identification and assessment of risks that the Company faces based on the internal and external environment and overseeing and reviewing the Company’s risks related to legal and regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to, oversight of the Company's enterprise risk management program; distributor compliance and direct selling best practices; employee compliance, such as code of conduct and other mandated trainings; product and product distribution regulatory compliance, including adherence to FTC, FDA and other similar regulatory bodies’ mandates; FCPA compliance and best practices; data protection and privacy, cybersecurity, and IT governance compliance and best practices; and foreign operations compliance. The Company has enabled a cybersecurity committee, which is an executive committee consisting of members from various corporate service groups of the Company, including human resources, operations, IT, finance and legal, which under the direction of the Risk Management Committee oversees the Company’s cybersecurity-related policies and initiatives and reports to the Risk Management Committee regularly. Under its Charter, the Risk Management Committee is required to consist of at least three directors, one of whom shall be a member of the Company’s Audit Committee. In addition, under the direction of the Board and certain of its committees, the Company’s legal department assists in the oversight of corporate compliance activities. As discussed under “Risk Assessment of Compensation Programs,” the Compensation Committee also reviews certain risks associated with our overall compensation program for employees to help ensure that the program does not encourage employees to take excessive risks.
In addition, the Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines and policies and manages risks associated with the independence of the Board of Directors and potential conflicts of interest. On a regular basis and from time to time as necessary or appropriate, updates are provided by these groups to the Board of Directors regarding their risk assessment and risk management activities and other risk-related matters.


BOARD MEETINGS IN 20202021
During 2020,2021, our Board of Directors held 611 meetings and numerous informal informational sessions. Each member of the Board of Directors during 2020,2021, attended or participated in 75 percent or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of regular meetings of the Board of Directors held during the year or the portion thereof following such person’s appointment to the Board and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served during the year or the portion thereof following such person’s appointment to one or more of those committees.

BOARD REFRESHMENT
Our Board of Directors believes that its policy of periodic, rigorous self-evaluations is currently the best way to ensure it is appropriately structured to fit the demands of the Company’s business. As such, we doIn addition, Directors who will reach either the age of 70 or 10 years of service on the Board of Directors prior to the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shall not have policies relatingbe nominated for election to mandatory retirement age or tenure.the Board of Directors at the next Annual Meeting, unless the Board of Directors grants a waiver prior to nomination for another term. The average tenure of our Directors is less than fivefour years and the average age of our Directors is approximately 5654 years old.


COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS
We have not in the past adopted a formal process for shareholder communications with the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, the Directors have endeavored to ensure that the views of shareholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to shareholders in a timely manner. Communications to the Board of Directors may be submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 2901 West Bluegrass Blvd., Suite 100, Lehi, Utah 84043. The Board of Directors relies upon the Corporate Secretary to forward written questions or comments to named directors or committees thereof, as appropriate. General comments or inquiries from shareholders are forwarded to the appropriate individual within the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES
Our Board of Directors adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website.website https://ir.naturessunshine.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. Among other things, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines set forth guidelines relating to board independence, service on other boards, director qualification standards and additional selection criteria, periodic self-evaluation, and stock ownership guidelines.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Governance Committee will oversee periodic evaluations of the Board of Directors and its Committees. Such evaluations are conducted annually and focus on, among things, whether the Board of Directors has the appropriate skills and experience, whether the Board of Directors is appropriately structured and diversified, and whether the Board of Directors is effectively communicating. Generally, such evaluations are conducted as self-evaluations but from time to time the Governance Committee may engage a third party to conduct evaluations.

The stock ownership guidelines provide that Directors are to hold shares of the Company’s stock with a minimum value of three times the grant date value of the annual equity grant to Directors. For example, the last equity grant, which was made in May of 2020,2021, had a grant date value of $65,000, thereby requiring Directors to hold shares with a minimum value of $195,000. Directors have four years to be in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. Currently, all directors who are subject to the stock ownership guidelines are in compliance with the guidelines.


CODE OF ETHICS
Our Code of Conduct (the "Code") applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and senior financial and accounting officers. A copy of the Code is available on our website at https://ir.naturessunshine.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents or by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 2901 West Bluegrass Blvd., Suite 100, Lehi, Utah 84043. We intend to post on our internet website all amendments to, or waivers from, the Code that are required to be disclosed by applicable law.

NamePosition
Terrence O. MooreheadPresident and Chief Executive Officer
Joseph W. BatyExecutive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Bryant J. YatesDaniel C. NormanExecutive Vice President & President, EuropeAsia


In this section, we explain how our Compensation Committee made decisions related to the compensation of our NEOs during 2020,2021, and we provide an overview of the information set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and other compensation tables contained in this proxy statement. We also address any actions taken regarding executive compensation after the end of 20202021 that could affect a fair understanding of our NEOs' compensation during 2021.2022.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our compensation program is designed to reward our executives in a manner that supports a pay-for-performance philosophy, aligns with shareholder value creation, and maintains a level of compensation that allows us to attract and retain the best available executive team.

OUR 20202021 PERFORMANCE
In 2020,2021, we built on our global strategy, which focuses on strengthening ourdelivered multiple record sales quarters, with growth in all operating business units worldwide. Our business transformation has led to successful brand improving field fundamentals, expandinginvestments, new digital capabilities, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, and improving organizational capabilities.improved manufacturing. Our strategic initiatives are focused on acceleratingcontinued growth, driving profitability and enhancing long-term shareholder value. Our 20202021 performance may be summarized as follows:

•Our consolidated net sales increased by 6.3%15.3% compared to 2019,2020, to $385.2$444.1 million in 2020.2021. The increase related to growth in all our operating business units including Asia (27.5%), Europe (24.3%(17.8%), North America (5.3(2.9 %), and Latin America and Other markets (1.4(11.2 %), while Asia markets were effectively flat at growth of 0.1 %.. Measured in local currency, net sales were $385.8$438.5 million, rather than $385.2$444.1 million. We measure results using local currency and exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates using budgeted exchange rates when assessing our financial results for incentive compensation purposes because foreign exchange rates are viewed as outside the control of the executive team and local currency provides a better view into the actual growth from operations.

•Adjusted EBITDA improved to $36.2$49.4 million in 20202021 from $31.2$36.2 million the prior year, an increase of 15.9%35.9%. We define adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income/loss from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income/loss adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and certain unusual (noted) adjustments.adjustments for non- budgeted costs deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

•Total Shareholder Return (TSR) was 30.66%, with a two-year Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) TSR of 47.90%, and three-year TSR was 33.83%.

KEY 20202021 COMPENSATION DECISIONS
•We continue to structure aA substantial portion of the total direct compensation of our NEOs is in the form of annual cash incentive awardsincentives and long-term stock-based compensation. The annual cash incentive is primarily based on achieving near-term financial and operating goals, while equity awards focus on increases in stock price to align executives with growth in shareholder returns through both time vested and price-contingent equity awards.

Table of Contents

•The 20202021 annual cash incentive award program was primarily based on the attainment of corporate revenue and adjusted EBITDA financial performance goals, which are viewed as the primary drivers of our shareholder value. A portion of Mr. Yates'Norman's annual cash incentive was based on the financial performance of our EuropeAsia segment, instead of being solely dependent on our corporate financial performance, in order to provide a direct link between his segment's operating results and his compensation. All NEOs also have 10% of their annual cash incentive based on individual performance, which is subjectively evaluated.

•As a result of our financial and overall business performance against the pre-established goals, our NEO bonuses averaged 127%150% of target.

•Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grants to NEOs are generally made each year and generally consist of 50% performance-based units (PRSUs) and 50% time-based RSUs.

•2020 PRSU Grants. In 2020,2021, each NEO was granted an award of PRSUs similar to those granted to the NEOs in 2019,2020, but with variedhigher stock price goals compared tothan the 20192020 PRSU Grants. The 20202021 PRSUs vest upon achievement of each stock price goal over a period of 30-trading days. One-twelfth of the 20202021 PRSUs vests upon the achievement of each stock price goal and an additional one-twelfth vests on the date that is one-year following the achievement of such stock price goal subject to the NEOsNEO's continued employment.


COMPENSATION POLICY FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We have designed the various compensation elements to achieve the following objectives:

Compensation ElementPrimary Objective
Base SalaryTo recognize performance of job responsibilities and to attract and retain qualified executives with superior talent to help us with our goals.
Annual performance-based compensationTo promote our annual performance and reward individual accomplishments and contributions to our company.
Long-term equity incentive awardsTo emphasize our long-term performance and align each executive's interests with those of our shareholders.
Defined contribution plansTo provide opportunity for tax-efficient savings and long-term financial security.
Severance arrangementsTo encourage the continued focus and dedication of key individuals.
Other elements of compensation and perquisitesTo attract and retain talented executives in a cost-efficient manner by providing benefits with high perceived values at relatively low cost to us.


The Compensation Committee seeks to achieve these objectives by:

•Establishing a compensation structure that is market-competitive, internally fair and highly dependent on short-term and long-term performance;
29
Table of Contents

•Linking a substantial portion of compensation to our financial performance or stock price performance, with consideration given to individual contributions to that performance;

•Providing long-term equity-based incentives and encouraging direct share ownership by executive officers, as well as ownership guidelines that provide an incentive for officers to consider long-term value maintenance in addition to growth.
31

Table of Contents

For our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee utilizes
We utilize a combination of cash and equity incentive programs under which the compensation of the executive officers varies with our financial performance and the market price of our common stock. The general objective is to balance long-term equity compensation with short-term cash compensation, but there is no target compensation level that applies to all officers. The actual levels at which we may set compensation for a particular executive officer may vary based on our overall financial performance, a particular segment's performance, and an evaluation of each executive officer's individual performance level, experience and his or her potential contribution to our future growth. Also, actual compensation earned at the end of every performance period may be below target if performance is below our annual and multi-year performance goals.

The Compensation for our NEOs at the start of 2020 was generally set no higher than the middle of the availableCommittee did not review market data when setting 2021 compensation, though it periodically compares executive compensation to recognize the Company’s size and investmentsother similar companies. The most recent review of peer company compensation was in future growth and this intended position was found to be accurate considering the 2019 Executive Compensation Report provided by F.W. Cook.2019.

SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Primary compensation decisions for each year, including base salary adjustments, the determination of target annual cash incentive opportunities and the determination of long-term equity incentive awards, are generally made by the Compensation Committee during the first quarter of the current year or the last quarter of the previous year. The principal factors the Compensation Committee considers for ongoing annual decisions when setting the compensation levels for the NEOs are as follows:

•Comparison of our performance against certain operating and qualitative goals identified in our operating and strategic plans;

•Comparative market data (reviewed from time to time);

•Our Chief Executive Officer's recommendations for the other NEOs;

•Individual performance as assessed by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Chief Executive Officer as to the NEOs other than himself; and

•Tenure, scope of responsibilities, experience and qualifications, future potential and internal pay equity.

IMPACT OF 20202021 SAY-ON-PAY VOTE
The most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive officer compensation was held on May 6, 2020,5, 2021, after the Compensation Committee had approved the 20202021 compensation of the NEOs. Of the votes cast on such proposal, 94.799.4 percent were in favor of the compensation of the NEOs, as that compensation was disclosed in the Narrative Discussion of Compensation Discussion and AnalysisPolices and the various compensation tables and narrative that appeared in our proxy statementProxy Statement dated March 27, 2020.19, 2021. Based on that level of shareholder approval, the Compensation Committee decided not to make any material changes to our compensation philosophies, policies and practices for the remainder of 20202021 and has not made substantial changes in 2021.2022. However, the Compensation Committee will continue to take into account future shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation in order to determine whether any subsequent changes to our executive compensation programs and policies would be warranted to reflect any shareholder concerns reflected in those advisory votes.

ROLE OF EXTERNAL ADVISOR
In 2019,late 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of F.W. Cook to conduct an independent comprehensive benchmark study of our executive compensation practices against other comparable public companies in our industry. In August 2019,February 2022, F.W. Cook provided the 20192022 Executive Compensation Report.Report, which will be used to assist with 2022 compensation decisions.

MARKET BENCHMARKING
Compensation decisions in 2021 did not utilize market data, though F.W. Cook provided a study in 2019 and another in February 2022 to provide context for 2022 compensation decisions.

In 2019, F.W. Cook conducted a study with a peer group consisting of 15 publicly traded U.S. based specialty retail and personal product companies to perform new market comparisons of our executive compensation program and to prepare its 2019 Executive Compensation Report. The companies in the peer group were chosen in consultation with the Compensation Committee on the basis of objective industry classifications, annual revenue and market capitalization at the time of the 2019 Executive Compensation Report. The Compensation Committee believes that all of the companies in the peer group represented reasonable competitors for executive talent and shareholder investment at the time of the study.

ROLE OF MANAGEMENT
Our Chief Executive Officer presents his recommendations for base salaries, annual cash incentive and equity grants for the other NEOs to the Compensation Committee (other than for himself). These recommendations are generally based on an NEO's expected role in our strategic plan, our performance measured in terms of the sales revenue and adjusted EBITDA levels attained by the segment for which the executive was primarily responsible, where applicable, or by the Company as a whole, as well as the NEO's performance against individual performance objectives, and the comparative analysis of our compensation practice to market for each such officer. The Compensation Committee discusses these recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer and makes the final determination on the base salaries, annual cash incentive and equity grants.
The Compensation Committee recommends to our Board of Directors the base salary, annual cash incentive target and equity for our Chief Executive Officer. The Board considers such recommendations in setting the Chief Executive Officer's compensation.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have employment agreements in place with each of our NEOs. Among other things, these employment agreements set the initial annual base salaries for each NEO, establish that each NEO is eligible to participate in our executive annual cash incentive program and set forth certain termination benefits in the event his or her employment with the Company is terminated. The termination benefits to which our NEOs would be entitled in the event of termination are described below in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The employment agreements with our NEOs provide for a period during which he or she is subject to certain non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.

Table of Contents

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES
Each of our NEOs and Board Members is subject to stock ownership guidelines. Under the stock ownershipthese guidelines, our Chief Executive Officereach NEO and Board Member is required to maintain ownership of capital stock or an equity position in the Company having an aggregate valueas expressed in the minimum amount of $1.0 million. The stock ownership guidelines require the other NEOs, other than the table below.

RoleMinimum Stock Ownership
Chief Executive Officer to maintain ownership3x annual base salary
Chief Financial Officer2x annual base salary
All other NEOs1x annual base salary
Board Members3x grant date value of annual equity grant

NEOs and Board Members may obtain or hold capital stock or an equity position above what is stated in the Company having an aggregate value equal to one-year base salary. Board Members must maintain ownership of capital stock or anguidelines. The minimum equity position having an aggregate value equalmust be achieved within four years of becoming subject to three times the value of their annual equity grant. Such equity positionguidelines. Compliance may be met by accumulating such equity through the vesting of future grantsvested shares of stock options and RSUs, in addition tooptions; vested shares of restricted stock units (“RSUs”); shares owned either directly or beneficially by the Company’s capital stock currently owned,NEO or Board Member; and shares held in trust for the vestingbenefit of existing grants of stock options and RSUs.the NEO or Board Member, or his or her
immediate family member. All NEOs currently satisfy the stock ownership guidelines.

HEDGING
Our policy prohibits executives, as well as our Board of Directors, from entering into hedging transactions (such as put and call options), that would operate to lock-in value of their equity compensation awards at specified levels. Executive officers are also prohibited from pledging their stock or holding such stock in margin accounts. Accordingly, similar to any other shareholder, the executive officers bear the full risk of economic loss with respect to their equity holdings.
31

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION
Each NEO's compensation package consists of three elements: (i) a base salary, (ii) annual cash incentive based upon overall Company or segment financial performance, and (iii) participation in long-term, stock-based incentive awards, in the form of RSUs and performance-contingent RSUs (PRSUs). In addition, the NEOs are provided with certain benefits and perquisites and are entitled to certain severance benefits in the event their employment terminates under certain specified circumstances, as more fully described below.

Each of the three primary elements comprising the compensation package for NEOs (salary, annual cash incentive and equity) is designed to achieve one or more of our overall objectives in fashioning a competitive level of compensation, tying compensation to individual and company performance and establishing a meaningful and substantial link between each NEO's compensation and our long-term financial success.
There is no pre-established policy for the allocation of compensation between cash and non-cash components or between short-term and long-term components, nor are there any pre-established ratios between the Chief Executive Officer's compensation and that of the other NEOs. Instead, the mix of compensation for each NEO is based on a review of available data and a subjective analysis of that individual's performance and contribution to our financial performance. Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reward results and motivate long-term performance through a combination of cash and equity incentive awards.

Base salary is intended to attract and retain qualified executives and to provide a level of security and stability from year to year. The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries for our NEOs in March of each year. Based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the 2019 Executive Compensation Report, the competitiveness of their current base salaries and our performance during 2019,2020, the base salaries for each NEO were set in March 20202021 as follows:

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE
The annual cash incentive program is designed to reward our NEOs for achieving or exceeding our annual goals.

For 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee adopted an annual cash incentive program for the NEOs based primarily on the attainment of corporate financial performance goals with a small percentage based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of performance against individual objectives set early in the year. The Compensation Committee tied a portion of the annual cash incentive for Mr. YatesNorman to the financial performance goals of our EuropeAsia segment instead of being solely dependent on our overall financial performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee retained the discretion to increase or decrease the annual cash incentive amount to be paid to any individual under the cash incentive plan by up to 10% of that person’s target, based on its subjective evaluation of general corporate and individual performance.

The 20202021 target annual cash incentive award (as a percentage of base salary) for each NEO was as follows:

NameTarget Cash Incentive

Terrence O. Moorehead100 %
Joseph W. Baty60 %

The portion of the annual cash incentive award based on corporate financial performance goals required attainment of minimum financial performance thresholds and could range from 50% to 175%200% of the targeted dollar amount of the annual cash incentive award attributable to these financial goals.

20202021 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE GOALS
For all NEOs, 10% of the annual cash incentive award potential was based on each NEO’s individual performance. In determining the cash incentive for each NEO, the Compensation Committee reviewed the NEO’s individual performance, as well as general corporate performance not otherwise captured in the financial performance goals. TheBased upon multiple quarters of record performance, increased profitability, and achievement of significant stock price milestones, the Compensation Committee determined that our overall business performance warranted full bonus payouts on the basis of individual performance objectives for our NEOs.

ADJUSTMENTS TO CORPORATE PERFORMANCE GOALS DUE TO COVID-19 IMPACT
The duration and extent of COVID-19's impact on our business has been difficult to assess or predict. The widespread pandemic has resulted in quarantines or government reactions that disrupted or halted our business. Due to these difficult circumstances, in March 2020 the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors set preliminary corporate performance goals but did not formally approve them until August 2020. During that period the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors examined the impact, especially in our Asia markets, that COVID-19 and associated restrictions had on our business. In many markets our sales and operations were halted entirely due to government restrictions. Our employee offices were closed, and many adjustments were made to the way we interact with our independent distributors. We faced issues related to shipping and enhanced enforcement on product claims. We implemented extensive safety measures to our manufacturing facility to keep our employees safe. As a result of these and other related circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, in August 2020 the corporate performance goals were formally approved and included a 4% downward adjustment to the Corporate Revenue goal with no adjustment to the Corporate EBITDA goal.

20202021 CORPORATE PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR MESSRS. MOOREHEAD AND BATY
For Messrs. Moorehead and Baty, 90% of their cash incentive award potential was based on corporate financial performance goals for 2020,2021, which consisted of our corporate revenue and adjusted EBITDA, but excluding foreign currency exchange impact because the foreign exchange rate is viewed as outside the control of the executive team and the goal of the cash incentive program is to reward controllable operating achievement. Revenue was chosen as a metric to reward growth that is necessary to drive the multi-year performance objectives, while adjusted EBITDA was included to reward both revenue and profit growth, including control of expenses incurred in driving that growth, among other factors. We define adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income/loss from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income/loss adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and certain unusual (noted) adjustments.

20202021 CORPORATE PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR MR. YATESNORMAN
For Mr. Yates,Norman, 90% of his cash incentive award potential was based on 30% corporate financial performance goals, and 60% on the financial performance goals related to our EuropeAsia segment, and were based on that segment's revenue and adjusted EBITDA, among other adjustments, but excluding foreign currency exchange impact because the foreign exchange rate is viewed as outside the control of the executive team and the goal of the cash incentive program is to reward controllable operating achievement.

The funding schedules for the portion of the annual cash incentive award based on our corporate financial performance and EuropeAsia financial performance (excluding foreign currency exchange impact) were as follows, with the actual payout calculations based on linear interpolations of the funding slopes between the points shown, rather than by the sample thresholds below:

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(M)
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code as in effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), generally disalloweddisallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation of more than $1.0 million paid in any taxable year to each “covered employee,” consisting of the CEO, CFO and the three other highest-paid executive officers employed atofficers. (Once a person becomes a “covered employee” the end of the year (other than the CFO). Performance-based compensation was exempt from this deduction limitation if the Company met specified requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. The TCJA retained the $1.0 million deduction limit, but repealed the performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limit and expanded the definition of “covered employees,” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. “Covered employees” now also include any person who served as CEO or CFO at any time during a taxable year, as well as any person who was ever identified asremains a covered employee in 2017under Section 162(m) with respect to payments made even after the person has ceased to be an officer or any subsequent year. Consequently,employee.) Accordingly, compensation paid in 2018 and later years to our NEOs in excess of $1.0 million to covered employees will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transitional relief applicable to certain binding, written performance-based compensation arrangements that were in place as of November 2, 2017.deductible. The compensation paid to our NEOs for 2020,2021 did not exceed the $1.0 million threshold per officer, except for Mr. Moorehead and Mr. Baty. While the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) when evaluating particular compensation programs in the context of the Compensation Committee's broader compensation objectives and overall compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee understands that particularly in light of the changes under the TCJA , it is possible that the compensation payable to our NEOs will exceed the $1.0 million limit under Section 162(m) in one or more future years. We believe that in establishing the cash and equity incentive compensation programs for our NEOs, the potential deductibility of the compensation payable under those programs should be only one of a number of relevant factors taken into consideration, and not the sole governing factor. For that reason, we may deem it appropriate to provide one or more NEOs with the opportunity to earn incentive compensation, whether through annual cash incentive programs tied to our financial performance or through equity awards, which together with base salary in the aggregate may be in excess of the amount deductible by reason of Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We believe it is important to maintain cash and equity incentive compensation at the levels needed to attract and retain the NEOs essential to our success, even if all or part of that compensation may not be deductible by reason of the Section 162(m) limitation.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Narrative Discussion of Compensation Policies disclosure with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Narrative Discussion of Compensation Policies be included in this Proxy Statement.

Submitted by:
Robert D. Straus, Committee Chair
J. Christopher Teets
Lily Zou


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
None of the directors who served on our Compensation Committee during 2020 was:
•A current or former officer or employee of our company;
•A participant during 2020 in a related-person transaction that is required to be disclosed; or
•An executive officer of another entity at which one of our executive officers served during 2020 on either the board of directors or the compensation committee, nor were any of our other directors an executive officer of another entity at which one of our executive officers served on the compensation committee.


COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT
Our compensation programs are designed to maintain an appropriate balance between incentives for long-term and short-term performances by utilizing a combination of compensation components, including base salary, annual cash incentive awards and long-term equity awards. Although not all employees in the organization have compensation comprised of all three of these components, our compensation programs are generally structured so that any cash incentive awards based on short-term performances are not likely to constitute the predominant element of an employee's total compensation package and that other components will serve to balance the package. For this reason, we do not believe that our use of any cash incentive awards based upon short-term performance is reasonably likely to encourage excessive risk-taking by the participants in those compensation programs.
In addition, we believe the stock ownership guidelines to which our NEOs, including our Chief Executive Officer, are subject, moderate the incentive to take excessive risk.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
The benefits and payments that our NEOs could receive under certain hypothetical termination scenarios are described in the narrative below and quantified in the table that follows.
VOLUNTARY TERMINATION AND TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
If any of our NEOs voluntarily resigns without good reason or if an NEO's employment is terminated by the Company for cause, then no additional payments or benefits will accrue or be paid to the NEO under his or her employment agreement, other than what has been accrued and vested in the benefit plans discussed above in this proxy statement. A voluntary termination or involuntary termination for cause will not trigger an acceleration of the vesting of any stock options or other long-term incentive awards, and any such awards that had not already vested would be forfeited.

TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON
Under our employment agreements with our NEOs, in the event that his or her employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or if the NEO resigns for “Good Reason,” as those terms are defined in the employment agreements, the NEO would be entitled to the following benefits and payments:
•Payment of all accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of such termination;

•Monthly severance payments equal to one-twelfth of the NEO’s base salary as of the date of termination for a period equal to 12 months, except in the case of our Chief Executive Officer who would receive such severance payments for a period of 18 months;

•Reimbursement for the cost the NEO incurs for continuation of his or her health insurance coverage under COBRA, and for his family members if he or she provided for their coverage during his or her employment, for a period of 12 months, except in the case of our Chief Executive Officer who would receive such reimbursement for a period of 18 months; and

•Payment of a pro-rata bonus, based on the percentage of the year in which the NEO remained employed, for the year in which such termination occurs, which bonus shall be paid at the same time as similar bonuses are paid to the Company’s executive employees for such year.

Except for Mr. Moorehead, a termination without cause will not trigger an acceleration of the vesting of any stock options or other long-term incentive awards, and any such awards that had not already vested would be forfeited. In the case of Mr. Moorehead, any unvested awards continue to vest for a period of 18 months after any termination without cause.

TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR INCAPACITY
If an NEO’s employment terminates due to death or incapacity, the employment agreements provide that such NEO would receive the same benefits and payments as if the employment had terminated without cause.
A termination due to death or incapacity triggers an acceleration of the vesting of any stock options or other long-term incentive awards.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
The Company’s employment agreements with its NEOs provide that if an NEO's employment is terminated in connection withfor any reason, except for Cause, within 18 months of a change in control event or in anticipation of a Change in Control Event or if an NEO terminates his employment within 18 months of a change in control event for Good Reason, the Company will pay a lump sum equal to one and one-half times the sum of the NEO's (i) annual target bonus and (ii) annual base salary at the time of termination. For all NEOs, if an NEO's employment is terminated in connection with a change in control event the Company will reimburse the cost the NEO incurs for continuation of his or her health insurance coverage under COBRA, and for his family members if he or she provided for their coverage during his or her employment, for a period of 18 months.

Except as noted in the following sentence, the equity awards held by the NEOs at the time of a qualifying change in control event will vest in full. Mr. Moorehead's new hire grant of PRSUs only vest upon a qualifying change in control event to the extent that the per share consideration paid for the common shares of the Company exceeds the share price milestone set forth in the equity award agreement.

Proposal Three:
Approval of Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan
AMEND AND RESTATE THE 2012 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE, EXTEND THE TERM, AND MAKE OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES

Our Board of Directors is requesting that shareholders approve an Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. The proposed amended and restated plan would extend the term of the plan for five years, to 2027, increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance by 2,000,000 shares, and update certain other provisions. As of December 31, 2020, 682,972 shares remained available for issuance of new grants under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2012 Stock Incentive Plan is the only plan from which the Company can issue new grants, and no new issuances may be made from the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2009 and 2012 Stock Incentive Plan that expire or otherwise terminate prior to the issuance of the shares subject to those awards will be available for subsequent issuance under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to certain limitations. However, from and after the effective date of the Plan, to the extent that any shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company or are otherwise not delivered due to termination or cancellation of the award, such shares of Common Stock are added to the share reserve available for award and issuance under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, up to a maximum of 400,000 share.

Our incentive compensation programs play a pivotal role in our efforts to attract and retain key personnel essential to our long-term growth and financial success. For that reason, we are proposing the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to extend the term and increase the number of authorized shares to permit additional grants. We have structured the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to provide us with flexibility in designing equity incentive programs in an environment where a number of companies have moved from traditional option grants to other stock or stock-based awards such as restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. Accordingly, with the proposed Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, we will have a broad array of equity incentives to utilize for purposes of attracting and retaining the services of key individuals.

If our shareholders do not approve the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, then the terms, conditions and current share reserve of the current 2012 Stock Incentive Plan will continue in effect, but we will not have a sufficient number of shares available for future grants.


DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

If approved, the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan will be amended primarily as described below and also to include other administrative, clarifying and conforming changes:

•Share Reserve. As of December 31, 2020, 682,972 shares remained available for issuance of new grants. The proposed share authorization reflects an incremental increase of 2,000,000 shares (resulting in a total available reserve of 5,000,000 shares for new awards as of the effective date of the Plan), will help us to have a sufficient number of shares under the Plan that may be issued as new grants in order to allow us to provide equity incentives to our executive officers and employees at a competitive level.
48
Table of Contents

•Term Extension. The termination date will be extended to the fifth anniversary from the adoption of the Amended and Restated Plan by the Board of Directors, or March 3, 2026.

•Removal/Revision of Provisions Based on Section 162(m) of the Code. Because the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repealed the exception to the Section 162(m) deduction limit for performance-based compensation, the Plan will remove language that was intended to enable awards to qualify for that exception.

•New Individual Annual Award Limits. No participant who is an employee, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor may be granted any award or awards for more than 400,000 shares in the aggregate in any calendar year.

The Amended and Restated Plan now also provides that, for a non-employee director participant, the sum of the grant date fair value of equity-based awards (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) and the amount of any cash-based compensation granted during any calendar year shall not exceed $500,000, with limited exception for the non-executive chair.

•No Liberal Share “Recycling.” Any shares surrendered to pay the exercise price of an option or shares withheld by the Company or tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to any award will not be added back (“recycled”) to the Amended and Restated Plan.

•No Dividend Equivalents Paid on Unvested Awards. Under the Amended and Restated Plan, dividend and dividend equivalent amounts with respect to any share underlying an award may be accrued but shall not be paid until all conditions or restrictions relating to such share have been satisfied, waived or lapsed. In addition, the Amended and Restated Plan prohibits the granting of dividend equivalents on stock options and stock appreciation rights.

•New Clawback or Recoupment Provision. The Amended and Restated Plan provides that all awards under it are subject to any Company clawback policy, as well as any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule.

•Clarification of Change in Control Treatment of Awards. The Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan clarifies that while an award agreement may set forth the terms of treatment due to a Change in Control event, no award agreement may accelerate the exercisability, or lapse the restrictions of an award in connection with a Change in Control unless such occurs upon the consummation of the Change in Control event.

•Other Administrative Changes. Due to the age of the original Plan, the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan contains other administrative changes meant to bring the Plan up to date with current norms, regulations, and best practices.


SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The following is a summary of the principal features of the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. All references to the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, the Plan, or Amended and Restated Plan in this Section refer to the proposed Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. This description is intended to be a summary of the material provisions of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. It does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, which is contained in Appendix A in this Proxy Statement.

ADMINISTRATION
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors administers the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. The term “plan administrator,” as used in this summary, means the Compensation Committee. The plan administrator has discretion to determine which eligible individuals are to receive awards, the types of awards to be granted to each participant, the number of shares to be covered by (or the method by which payments or other rights to be calculated in connection with) each award, and the terms and conditions of any award, including the vesting provisions of an award. The plan administrator may grant awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the plan administrator or required by applicable law. Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other award granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or any other of our plans or the plans of an affiliate in the plan administrator’s discretion. Awards granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan may be settled in such form or forms as the plan administrator determines appropriate, including cash, shares of our common stock, promissory notes, other securities or awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, other property, or a combination of the foregoing methods, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis as determined by the plan administrator.

ELIGIBILITY
Employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and non-employee members of our Board of Directors in our employ or service or in the employ or service of our affiliates (whether now existing or hereafter established) are eligible to participate in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 800 persons (including 7 executive officers, 800 employees, 7 non-employee members of the Board, and 0 consultants/advisors) were eligible to participate in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.

SECURITIES SUBJECT TO THE 2012 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Pursuant to the proposed Amended and Restated Plan, 2,000,000 additional shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance over the proposed extended term of the Plan, for a total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock subject to any award under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan that, since the effective date of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company or are otherwise not delivered due to termination or cancellation of such award, have been and will be added to the total number of shares of Common Stock available under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, up to a maximum of 400,000 shares.

As of December 31, 2020, 226,357 shares were subject to outstanding options under the 2009 and 2012 Stock Incentive Plans, 1,179,350 shares were subject to unvested restricted stock units under the 2009 and 2012 Stock Incentive Plans and 682,972 shares remained available for future awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan is not available for future awards). See the below “Annual Equity Usage” table for more detail.

We manage our long-term shareholder dilution, in part, by controlling the number of equity incentive awards granted annually. The Compensation Committee carefully monitors our annual net burn rate, total dilution, and equity expense in order to maximize shareholder value by granting what it believes are an appropriate number of equity incentive awards to attract, reward, and retain employees. Burn rate is a measure of the speed at which companies use shares available for grant under their equity compensation plans and is an important factor for investors concerned about shareholder dilution. The burn rate is defined as, in a given fiscal year, the number of equity shares granted subject to time-based awards plus performance-based equity awards that were earned and vested, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. In recommending to our shareholders the increase in the number of shares to be authorized under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee considered our burn rate for the past three fiscal years as shown below:

Awards made under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan are subject to the following award and per-participant limitations:

•The number of shares available for granting restricted stock and restricted stock units shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares.

•No employee, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor who is a participant in the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan may be granted any Award or Awards for more than 400,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Plan), in the aggregate in any calendar year.

•With respect to a non-employee director who is a participant in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, the sum of the grant date fair value of equity-based awards (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) and the amount of any cash-based compensation granted to a non-employee director during any calendar year shall not exceed $500,000. The independent members of the Board may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, provided that the non-employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

The shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan may be drawn from shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, treasury shares or from shares of Common Stock that we acquire, including shares purchased on the open market.

Shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2009 and 2012 Stock Incentive Plans that expire or otherwise terminate prior to the issuance of the shares subject to those awards will be available for subsequent issuance under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to certain limitations. Except as provided below, if any shares covered by an Award or to which an award relates are not purchased or are forfeited or are reacquired by the Company, or if an award otherwise terminates or is cancelled without delivery of any shares, then the number of shares counted against the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan with respect to such award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, reacquisition by the Company, termination or cancellation, shall again be available for granting awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares will not again become available for issuance under the Plan: (A) any shares which would have been issued upon any exercise of an option but for the fact that the exercise price was paid by a “net exercise” or any shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option; (B) any shares withheld by the Company or shares tendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award ; (C) shares covered by a stock-settled stock appreciation right issued under the Plan that are not issued in connection with settlement in shares upon exercise; or (D) shares that are repurchased by the Company using option exercise proceeds.

VALUATION
The fair market value per share of our Common Stock on any relevant date under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan will be the closing sale price of our Common Stock on the consolidated transaction reporting system on such date or, if such exchange is not open for trading on such date, on the most recent preceding date that such exchange is open for trading. On December 31, 2020, the fair market value determined on such basis was $14.95.

AWARDS
The 2012 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the following types of awards: incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards, stock awards and other stock-based awards.

STOCK OPTIONS
Eligible persons may be granted stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Each granted option will have an exercise price per share determined by the plan administrator, but the exercise price will not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date, provided that the plan administrator may designate an exercise price below fair market value on the grant date if the option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with us or an affiliate. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years. Payment of the exercise price of a stock option may be made in cash, shares of Common Stock, delivery of a promissory note (if allowed for participants other than officers) or a combination of the foregoing methods in the plan administrator’s discretion. Alternatively, the plan administrator may permit a participant to exercise a stock option pursuant to a broker-assisted cashless exercise procedure or, with respect to the exercise of a non-statutory option, pursuant to a net exercise procedure.

Table of Contents

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
A stock appreciation right granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan allows the holder to exercise that right as to a specific number of shares of Common Stock and receive upon such exercise the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock as to which that right is exercised over (ii) the aggregate grant price in effect for those shares. The grant price per share will not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date, provided that the plan administrator may designate a grant price below fair market value on the grant date if the stock appreciation right is granted in substitution for a stock appreciation right previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with us or an affiliate. No granted stock appreciation right will have a term in excess of ten years. The plan administrator will determine the remaining terms and conditions of a stock appreciation right granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan in its discretion, including the methods of exercise, dates of exercise and methods of settlement.

REPRICING PROHIBITION
The Amended and Restated Plan prohibits the repricing of stock options and stock appreciation rights (including a prohibition on the repurchase of “underwater” stock options or stock appreciation rights for cash or other securities), except for adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, as described in further detail below).

RESTRICTED STOCK
Shares of restricted stock may be awarded under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan administrator will determine at the time of grant the restrictions to which shares of restricted stock will be subject, including the vesting conditions (which may be service-based, performance-based or any combination thereof), any limitation on the right to vote the shares of restricted stock or the right to receive dividends or other property with respect to the shares of restricted stock. Dividend equivalent amounts, however, may be accrued but will not be paid until all conditions or restrictions relating to such shares have been satisfied, waived or lapsed. Shares of restricted stock will be issued when the awards are granted and will be evidenced in the manner determined by the plan administrator, including by book entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Restricted stock units granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan entitle the holder to receive shares of Common Stock underlying those units upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions specified by the plan administrator at the time the restricted stock units are granted. The plan administrator will determine at the time of grant the restrictions to which restricted stock units will be subject, including the vesting conditions (which may be service-based, performance-based or any combination thereof). Dividend equivalent amounts, however, may be accrued but will not be paid until all conditions or restrictions relating to such shares have been satisfied, waived or lapsed.

PERFORMANCE AWARDS
Performance awards granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units), other securities, other Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective Performance Goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Performance Goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. Such goals may be established by the Committee which shall be satisfied or met during the applicable performance period as a condition to a participant’s receipt of all or a part of a Performance Award under the Plan, including but not limited to, one or more of the following performance goals, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied on a corporate, subsidiary, division, business unit or line of business basis: sales, revenue, costs, expenses, earnings (including one or more of net profit after tax, gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net earnings), earnings per share, earnings per share from continuing operations, operating income, pre-tax income, operating income margin, net income, margins (including one or more of gross, operating and net income margins), returns (including one or more of return on actual or proforma assets, net assets, equity, investment, capital and net capital employed), stockholder return (including total stockholder return relative to an index or peer group), stock price, economic value added, cash generation, cash flow, unit volume, working capital, market share, cost reductions, number of customers, workforce satisfaction and diversity goals, environmental health and safety goals, employee retention, customer satisfaction, completion of key projects and strategic plan development and implementation and key metrics, or such other goals as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Each such performance goal may be based (i) solely by reference to absolute results of individual performance or organizational performance at various levels (e.g., the Company's performance or the performance of a subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit of the Company) or (ii) upon organizational performance relative to the comparable performance of other companies selected by the Committee. The Committee may also exclude charges related to an event or occurrence which the Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including but not limited to (X) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (Y) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company's management, or (Z) the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or other accounting principles which may then be in effect).

Table of Contents

DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
Dividend equivalents may be issued under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and entitle the holder to receive payments (in cash, shares of our common stock, other securities, other awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or other property as determined in the discretion of the plan administrator) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid to the holders of our Common Stock with respect to a specified number of shares determined by the plan administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the plan administrator may not grant dividend equivalents in connection with grants of options, stock appreciation rights or other awards the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of the shares after the grant of such award, and (ii) dividend and dividend equivalent amounts with respect to any share underlying any other award may be accrued but not paid until all conditions or restrictions relating to such share have been satisfied, waived or lapsed.

STOCK AWARDS
Shares of our Common Stock containing no restrictions may be granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan as determined by the plan administrator to be consistent with the purpose of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement governing the stock award, such stock awards may have the terms and conditions determined by the plan administrator in its discretion.

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS
The plan administrator is hereby authorized to grant to other awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into shares), as are deemed by the plan administrator to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. The plan administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such awards, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable award agreement. No award issued under this section shall contain a purchase right or an option like exercise feature.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
TRANSFERABILITY
Generally, awards granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (other than stock awards containing no restrictions) may not be transferred, pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. However, the plan administrator may allow a participant to designate a beneficiary to receive the vested portion of an award in the event of the participant’s death, and the plan administrator has the authority to allow the transfer of an award to a family member of the grantee in accordance with federal securities registration requirements, provided that such transfer may not be for value.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
The plan administrator will have the discretion, at the time an award is granted, to determine the treatment of awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan in the event we should experience a change in control. Such treatment must be set out in the applicable award agreement. However, no award agreement may accelerate the exercisability of any award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any award in connection with a change in control or similar change-in-control event, unless such acceleration occurs upon the consummation of (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of, provided that the consummation subsequently occurs) such change in control or change-in-control event.

CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of our common stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of our Common Stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock or other securities or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting the shares of our common stock such that an adjustment is necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, then the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock that may thereafter be made the subject of awards under the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan’s share reserve (including the number and type of shares of Common Stock available for granting restricted stock and restricted stock units), (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or other property) subject to awards under the 2009 and 2012 Stock Incentive Plans that are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company or are otherwise not delivered due to termination or cancellation of the award that may be added to the share reserve under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, (iii) the number and type of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, (iv) the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any award under the Plan, and (v) the individual annual share limitations applicable to participants under the Plan. Such adjustments will be made in such manner as the plan administrator deems appropriate in order to preclude any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or the outstanding awards thereunder and will be final, binding and conclusive.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
Except with respect to shares of restricted stock and stock awards granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, a participant will not have any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying any award until the shares subject to that award have been issued.

SPECIAL TAX ELECTION
The plan administrator may provide one or more holders of awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan with the right to have us withhold a portion of the shares otherwise issuable to such individuals in satisfaction of the withholding taxes to which they become subject in connection with the issuance, exercise or settlement of those awards. Alternatively, the plan administrator may allow such individuals to deliver previously acquired shares of our Common Stock in payment of such withholding tax liability.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The original 2012 Stock Incentive Plan has a term of ten years expiring March 2022, unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors. The Proposed Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan extends that term for five additional years from the approval of the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to March 3, 2026. Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan at any time; provided, however, that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment which: (i) requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company; (ii) increases the number of shares authorized under the Plan; (iii) increases the share or dollar value limitations on awards; (iv) permits repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, which is currently prohibited as described in the “Repricing Prohibition” section above; (v) increases the maximum term permitted for Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; or (vi) permits the award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Grant of Options and SARs. The grant of a stock option or SAR is not expected to result in any taxable income to the recipient.

Exercise of Options and SARs. Upon exercising a non-qualified stock option, the optionee must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. The holder of an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and we will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon exercising a SAR, the amount of any cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of our common stock received are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income and generally are deductible by us.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options and SARs. The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option or SAR will depend on how long the shares have been held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an ISO or by exercising a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to us in connection with the disposition of shares acquired under an option or SAR, except that we may be entitled to an income tax deduction in the case of the disposition of shares acquired under an ISO, if the disposition occurs before the applicable ISO holding periods set forth in the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied.

Restricted Stock. Recipients of grants of restricted stock generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time it is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. However, an award holder who makes an 83(b) election within 30 days of the date of grant of the restricted stock will incur taxable ordinary income on the date of grant equal to the fair market value of such shares of restricted stock (determined without regard to forfeiture restrictions). With respect to the sale of shares after the forfeiture restrictions have expired, the holding period to determine whether the award recipient has long-term or short-term capital gain or loss generally begins when the restrictions expire, and the tax basis for such shares will generally be based on the fair market value of the shares on that date. However, if the award holder made an 83(b) election as described above, the holding period commences on the date of such election, and the tax basis will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the election (determined without regard to the forfeiture restrictions on the shares). If the award permits dividends to be accrued while the restricted stock is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, such amounts will generally be taxed as ordinary income when paid, and we generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to amounts the award holder includes in ordinary income at the time of such income inclusion.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. Recipients of grants of restricted stock units (including performance share units) will not incur any federal income tax liability at the time the awards are granted. Award holders will recognize ordinary income equal to (a) the amount of cash received under the terms of the award or, as applicable, (b) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date of receipt) under the terms of the award. If the award permits dividend equivalent amounts to be accrues while the award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, such amounts will be taxed as ordinary income when paid. Cash or shares to be received pursuant to any other stock-based award generally become payable when applicable forfeiture restrictions lapse; provided, however, that, if the terms of the award so provide, payment may be delayed until a later date to the extent permitted under applicable tax laws. We generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction for any amounts included by the award holder as ordinary income. For awards that are payable in shares, participant’s tax basis is equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time the shares become payable. Upon the sale of the shares, appreciation (or depreciation) after the shares are paid is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

Limitations on Company’s Income Tax Deduction. Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including our obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, we generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from awards made under the Plan. However, Section 162(m) of the Code prohibits publicly held corporations from deducting more than $1 million per year in compensation paid to certain named executive officers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which was signed into law at the end of 2017, made significant changes to the deduction limit under Section 162(m), which became effective for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2018. The Act eliminated the exception to the deduction limit for qualified performance-based compensation and broadens the application of the deduction limit to certain current and former executive officers who previously were exempt from such limit. Therefore, compensation paid to a covered executive under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan in excess of $1 million generally will not be deductible, unless grandfathered from application of the Act.

Special Rules for Executive Officers Subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In particular, unless a special election is made pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, shares received through the exercise or settlement of an award may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of exercise. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized, and the amount of our income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period.

Proposal Four:

Our Audit Committee has retained Deloitte & Touche LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022.

A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. He or she will have an opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such directors, officers and 10 percent shareholders also are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished or available to the Company, the Company believes that its directors, officers and 10 percent shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, except that late reports were filed for each of Robert Mercer, Heidi Wissmiller;Tariq Hassan; Shirley Wu; and Joseph Baty; and Terrence MooreheadBaty with respect to: one report triggered by the cashless exercise of stock options by Mr. Mercer; one report triggered by an initial Form 3 filing and stock grant to Mr. Hassan and Ms. WissmillerWu upon hertheir appointment to the Board of Directors; two reportsand one report triggered by the withholding of shares to pay the tax liability associated with the vesting of a prior grant of shares to Mr. Baty; and two reports triggered by the withholding of shares to pay the tax liability associated with the vesting of a prior grant of shares to Mr. Moorehead.Baty.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The Board’s Audit Committee is responsible for review, approval, or ratification of “related-party transactions” as defined under applicable SEC rules that involve the Company or its subsidiaries. We have adopted written policies and procedures that apply to any transaction or series of transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds the lesser of (i) $120,000, or (ii) 1% of the average of the Company's total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years (the "Threshold"), and a related party has a direct or indirect material interest. If the Audit Committee determines a related party has a material interest in a transaction, the Audit Committee may approve, ratify, rescind, or take other action with respect to the transaction in its discretion.

Since the beginning of fiscal 2019,2020, there have been no transactions, and there currently are no proposed transactions, in excess of the Threshold, between the Company (or one of our subsidiaries) and a related person in which the related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.


HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our shareholders will be “householding” the proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, you may (i) notify your broker, (ii) direct your written request to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 2901 West Bluegrass Blvd., Suite 100, Lehi, Utah 84043, or (3) contact Nature’s Sunshine directly at (801) 341-7900. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, we will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request at the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these materials was delivered.

Section 3. Administration
a.Power and Authority of the Committee.
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and to applicable law, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant under the Plan; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by (or the method by which payments or other rights are to be calculated in connection with) each Award; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement; (v) amend the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement, provided, however, that, except as otherwise permitted in connection with an event as provided under Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee shall not reprice, adjust or amend the exercise price of Options or the grant price of Stock Appreciation Rights previously awarded to any Participant, whether through amendment, cancellation or any other means prohibited under Section 6(g); (vi) accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of any restrictions relating to any Award, (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be exercised in cash, Shares, promissory notes (provided, however, that the par value of any Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise shall be paid in the form of cash, services rendered, personal property, real property or a combination thereof and the acceptance of such promissory notes does not conflict with Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended; (viii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement, including an Award Agreement, relating to the Plan; (ix) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (x) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or the Committee, subject to the requirements of Section 409A (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; and (xii) adopt such modifications, rules, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or an Affiliate may operate, including, without limitation, establishing any special rules for Affiliates, Eligible Persons or Participants located in any particular country, in order to meet the objectives of the Plan and to ensure the viability of the intended benefits of Awards granted to Participants located in such non-United States jurisdictions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award or Award Agreement, and any employee of the Company or any Affiliate.

b.Power and Authority of the Board.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan, unless the exercise of such powers and duties by the Board would cause the Plan not to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3.

Section 4. Shares Available for Awards
a.Shares Available.
a.“Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be the sum of: (i) Five Million (5,000,000) and (ii) any Shares subject to any award under the 2009 Plan that, after the effective date of this Plan, are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company, or otherwise not delivered due to termination or cancellation of such award, up to a maximum of 400,000 shares. Shares to be issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, treasury shares or Shares acquired in the open market or otherwise. Except as provided below, if any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not purchased or are forfeited or are reacquired by the Company, or if an Award otherwise terminates or is cancelled without delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, reacquisition by the Company, termination or cancellation, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Shares will not again become available for issuance under the Plan: (A) any Shares which would have been issued upon any exercise of an Option but for the fact that the exercise price was paid by a “net exercise” or any Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (B) any Shares withheld by the Company or Shares tendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award; (C) Shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right issued under the Plan that are not issued in connection with settlement in Shares upon exercise; or (D) Shares that are repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds.
b.
b.Accounting for Awards.
For purposes of this Section 4, except as provided below, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. Awards that do not entitle the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares and Awards that are settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. Shares issued under Awards granted in substitution for awards previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

Table of Contents

c.Adjustments.
In the event that any dividend (other than a regular cash dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards under Section 4(a), (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to awards under the 2009 Plan and this Plan that may be added to the share reserve under the Plan, (iii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, (iv) the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any Award and (v) the share limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be a whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee or the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

d.Award Limitations Under the Plan.

i.Individual Annual Limitation on Eligible Persons Other Than Non-Employee Directors. No Eligible Person who is an employee, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor may be granted any Award or Awards for more than 400,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 4(c) of the Plan), in the aggregate in any calendar year.
ii.Individual Annual Limitation for Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the sum of the grant date fair value of equity-based Awards (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) and the amount of any cash-based compensation granted to a non-employee Director during any calendar year shall not exceed $500,000. The independent members of the Board may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, provided that the non-employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

Section 5. Eligibility
Any Eligible Person shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. In determining which Eligible Persons shall receive an Award and the terms of any Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective Eligible Persons, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to full-time or part-time employees (which term as used herein includes, without limitation, officers and directors who are also employees), and an Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to an employee of an Affiliate unless such Affiliate is also a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code or any successor provision.

Section 6. Awards
a.Options.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Eligible Persons with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

i.Exercise Price. The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a purchase price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate.
ii.Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time but shall not be longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

A-5
Table of Contents

iii.Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, promissory notes (provided, however, that the par value of any Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise shall be paid in the form of cash, services rendered, personal property, real property or a combination thereof and the acceptance of such promissory notes does not conflict with Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the applicable exercise price) in which, payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit an Option to be exercised through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Participant shall concurrently provide instructions to (a) a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Company for purposes of administering such procedure in compliance with the Company's pre-clearance/pre-notification policies) to effect the immediate sale of all or a portion of the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise and (b) the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in order to complete the sale. Alternatively, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit an Option to be exercised by delivering to the Participant a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) equal to the excess, if positive, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option being exercised, on the date of exercise, over the exercise price of the Option for such Shares.
iv.Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following additional provisions shall apply to the grant of stock options which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, provided, however, that in the event the Plan fails to be approved by the stockholders of the Company within one year of its adoption by the Board as required in Section 10, such Incentive Stock Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options issued under the Plan:
A.The Committee will not grant Incentive Stock Options in which the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates) shall exceed $100,000.
B.All Incentive Stock Options must be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date on which this Plan was adopted by the Board or the date this Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company.
C.Unless sooner exercised, all Incentive Stock Options shall expire and no longer be exercisable no later than 10 years after the date of grant; provided, however, that in the case of a grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Affiliate, such Incentive Stock Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable no later than 5 years from the date of grant.
D.The purchase price per Share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that, in the case of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Affiliate, the purchase price per Share purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option.
E.Any Incentive Stock Option authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable but shall in all events be consistent with and contain all provisions required in order to qualify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option.
b.Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a grant price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Stock Appreciation Right is granted in substitution for a stock appreciation right previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee (except that the term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the same limitation in Section 6(a)(ii) applicable to Options). The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.
A-6
Table of Contents

c.Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant an Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

i.Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. For purposes of clarity and without limiting the Committee’s general authority under Section 3(a), vesting of such Awards may, at the Committee’s discretion, be conditioned upon the Participant’s completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate, or upon the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Committee, or upon any combination of service based and performance-based conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights to dividend or Dividend Equivalent payments shall be subject to the limitations described in Section 6(e).
ii.Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units.
d.Performance Awards.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Awards to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units), other securities, other Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective Performance Goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Performance Goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.

e.Dividend Equivalents.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons under which the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons in connection with grants of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the grant of such Award, and (ii) dividend and Dividend Equivalent amounts with respect to any Share underlying any other Award may be accrued but not paid to a Participant until all conditions or restrictions relating to such Share have been satisfied, waived or lapsed.

f.Stock Awards.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons Shares without restrictions thereon, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Stock Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

g.Other Stock-Based Awards.
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan (including Section 6(f)) and any applicable Award Agreement. No Award issued under this section shall contain a purchase right or an option like exercise feature.

Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted, “underwater” Option or Stock Appreciation Right by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower the exercise price; (ii) canceling the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation Right and granting either (A) replacement Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having a lower exercise price; or (B) Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Award or Other Stock-Based Award in exchange; or (iii) cancelling or repurchasing the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation Right for cash or other securities. An Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award is less than the exercise price of the Award.
iv.Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of Awards; provided, however, that such transfers shall be in accordance with the rules of Form S-8 (e.g., limited to immediate family members of Participants, trusts and partnerships established for the primary benefit of such family members or to charitable organizations); and provided, further, that such transfers shall not be made for consideration to the Participant. The Committee may also establish procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a person or persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award in the event of the Participant’s death.
v.Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing. All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made with respect to, or legends to be placed on the certificates for, such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other securities covered by an Award unless and until the requirements of any federal or state securities or other laws, rules or regulations (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.
vi.Section 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that constitutes "deferred compensation" to a Participant under Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to a Participant under the Plan or any Award Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant's disability or "separation from service" (as such term is defined under Section 409A), such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable proposed or final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. Any payment or distribution that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a Specified Employee (as determined by the Committee in good faith) on account of separation from service may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Specified Employee's separation from service (or if earlier, upon the Specified Employee's death) unless the payment or distribution is exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short term deferral exemption or otherwise.
vii.Change in Control. The Committee shall have the discretion, at the time an Award is granted, to determine the treatment of the Award in the event of a Change in Control. Such treatment shall be set forth in terms of the applicable award agreement evidencing the Award; provided, however, that no Award Agreement shall accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any Award in connection with a Change in Control or similar change-in-control event, unless such acceleration occurs upon the consummation of (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of, provided that the consummation subsequently occurs) such Change in Control or change-in-control event.

Section 7. Amendment and Termination; Corrections
a.Amendments to the Plan.
The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, prior approval of the stockholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that:

i.requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company;
ii.increases the number of shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan;
iii.increases the share or dollar value limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the Plan; permit repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, which is currently prohibited by Section 6(g) of the Plan;
iv.increase the maximum term permitted for Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as specified in Section 6(a) and Section 6(b); or
v.permits the award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of Section 6(a)(i) and Section 6(b)(ii) of the Plan.
b.Amendments to Awards.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such action may adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award without the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Company intends that Awards under the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder, and the Committee shall administer and interpret the Plan and all Award Agreements in a manner consistent with that intent. If any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A or other applicable tax law, the Committee may amend that provision (or take any other action reasonably necessary) to avoid any adverse tax results and no action taken to comply with Section 409A or other applicable tax law shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof.

c.Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.
The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of the Plan.

Section 8. Income Tax Withholding
In order to comply with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant. In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the applicable taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (a) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes (subject to any applicable limitations under ASC Topic 718 to avoid adverse accounting treatment) or (b) delivering to the Company Shares other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The election, if any, must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

Section 9. General Provisions
a.  No Rights to Awards.
No Eligible Person, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.

b.Award Agreements.
No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through an electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company.

c.Plan Provisions Control.
In the event that any provision of an Award Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan as set forth herein or subsequently amended, the terms of the Plan shall control.

d.No Rights of Stockholders.
Except with respect to Restricted Stock and Stock Awards, neither a Participant nor the Participant's legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in whole or in part, unless and until such Shares have been issued.

e.No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

f.No Right to Employment.
The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to be retained as a director, nor will it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate a Participant's employment at any time, with or without cause, or remove a director in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, or remove a director who is a Participant, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or any Award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. By participating in the Plan, each Participant shall be deemed to have accepted all the conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of any rules and regulations adopted by the Committee and shall be fully bound thereby.

g.Governing Law.
The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Utah shall govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award.

h.Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

i.No Trust or Fund Created.
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

j.Other Benefits.
No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant's compensation or benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, disability, severance, termination pay, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company, unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

k.No Fractional Shares.
No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

l.Headings.
Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

m.Consultation With Professional Tax and Investment Advisors.
The holder of any Award granted hereunder acknowledges that the grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect to such an Award, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, may have tax consequences pursuant to the Code or under local, state or international tax laws. Such a holder further acknowledges that such holder is relying solely and exclusively on the holder's own professional tax and investment advisors with respect to any and all such matters (and is not relying, in any manner, on the Company or any of its employees or representatives). Finally, such a holder understands and agrees that any and all tax consequences resulting from the Award and its grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect thereto, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, is solely and exclusively the responsibility of such holder without any expectation or understanding that the Company or any of its employees, representatives or Affiliates will pay or reimburse such holder for such taxes or other items.

n.Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations.
The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States, who are United States citizens or resident aliens on global assignments in foreign nations, who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

o.Clawback or Recoupment.
All Awards under this Plan shall be subject to recovery or other penalties pursuant to (i) any Company clawback policy, as may be adopted or amended from time to time, or (ii) any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any applicable stock exchange listing rule adopted pursuant thereto.

p.Blackout Periods.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award to the contrary, the Company shall have the authority to establish any "blackout" period that the Company deems necessary or advisable with respect to any or all Awards. All rights granted by the Plan or any Award Agreement, or any transactions encompassed by the Plan or any Award Agreement, are subject to the Company's Insider Trading Policy. Nothing in this Plan is intended to circumvent or authorize the circumvention of the Company's Insider Trading Policy.

Section 10. Effective Date of the Plan
The Plan, as amended and restated as set forth herein, shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the next meeting of stockholders held following the Board’s adoption of the amended and restated Plan and, if approved, shall become effective on the date of such stockholder approval. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the amendment and restatement of the Plan, as set forth herein, then the Plan shall continue to operate in accordance with its terms as in effect prior to such amendment and restatement. Each award granted under the Plan or subject to a written binding contract on or before November 2, 2017 and not materially modified after such date (each such award, a (“Grandfathered Award”) shall be subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect as of the date on which such award was granted, and it is intended that each such Grandfathered Award continue to be subject to Section 162(m) as in effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

From and after the original effective date of the Plan, any Shares subject to any award under the 2009 Plan that are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company, or otherwise not delivered due to termination or cancellation of such award, shall be available for issuance under Section 4(a) of this Plan, not the 2009 Plan, up to a maximum of 400,000 shares.

Section 11. Term of the Plan
No Award shall be granted under the Plan more than five years from the earlier of the adoption of the amended and restated Plan by the Board or the date of stockholder approval of the amended and restated Plan or any earlier date of discontinuation or termination established pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such dates, and the authority of the Committee provided for hereunder with respect to the Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of the Plan.
