Exhibit 10.1
LifeVantage Corporation
(the Company)
(the Company)
Annual Incentive Plan
I. Purpose
The LifeVantage Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the Plan) has been established to
attract, motivate and retain executives, senior officers and key employees by rewarding both
corporate and individual performance. Cash-based and/or equity-based annual performance awards
(each, an Award) will be granted and earned pursuant to the Plan.
II. Administration
The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of
Directors (the Committee). The Committee has discretionary authority, subject only to the
express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards;
determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; prescribe forms, rules and
procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon Participants (defined in
Section III below), the Company, and all other interested parties.
The Committee may delegate to (i) one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and
responsibilities as it may determine; and (ii) such employees of the Company or its Affiliates
(defined in Section III below) or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as the
Committee deems appropriate.
III. Eligibility
The Companys chief executive officer, and those executive and senior officers of the Company
and full time employees of the Company employed by the company for at least six consecutive months
prior to the end of the fiscal year are eligible to participate in the Plan. Those individuals
eligible to participate in the Plan but who were not employed for the entire fiscal year will have
each Award prorated.
IV. Weighting of Performance Components, Establishment of Performance Measures and Participants Target Awards
All Awards under the Plan shall be comprised of a corporate component and an individual
component. The relative weight assigned to the corporate and individual components is 60% and 40%,
respectively.
A Performance Year under the plan shall be tied directly to the fiscal year and is the
period from July1 through June 30. For each Performance Year, the Committee shall specify a
Participants target Award expressed as either a dollar amount or as a percentage of the
Participants annualized base salary in effect on the date the Award is granted. The Committee
shall also specify the performance goals that must be met during such Performance Year in order for
the Participant to earn payment with respect to the corporate component of an Award (Performance
Measures) and, if applicable, the levels of performance and payout opportunities associated with
the Performance Measures.
Performance Measures shall be expressed in terms of one or more criteria such as the following
(measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices and determined either on a
consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business,
project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales or revenues; assets; expenses;
earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, or
amortization, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; one or
more operating ratios; stock price; total shareholder return; implementation of key projects,
processes or other business objectives; and/or any other goals or objectives the Committee deems
relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.
The Performance Measures and relative weightings of these measures established by the
Committee may be different each Performance Year and different measures may be applicable to
different Participants. Unless otherwise specified in a written resolution adopted by the
Committee, (i) the Performance Measures for the corporate component will be comprised of revenue;
ordinary income; earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock
compensation expenses; and key business objectives designated by the Committee, and (ii) the
Performance Measures for the personal component will be based on specific, personal goals set by
employees and supervisors.
For each Performance Year, the targets associated with the Performance Measures and the
performance levels/ranges and payout opportunities approved by the Committee shall be set forth in
a summary that will be maintained with a copy of this Plan.
V. Conditions to Earning Awards and Payment of
Final Earned Awards
After the completion of a Performance Year and no later than October 15 of the year following
the end of the Performance Year, the Committee will determine any amounts potentially earned under
Awards that had been granted to Participants for such Performance Year. The corporate component
and personal component of an Award shall be potentially earned only if the Performance Measures for
the Performance Year are achieved at the threshold level of performance set by the Committee.
Where applicable, the attainment of the Performance Measures shall be determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or, with respect to non-GAAP measures, in
accordance with how the Company reports such non-GAAP measures to investors. Except as the
Committee may otherwise provide at the time of granting an Award, objectively determinable
adjustments shall be made to any Performance Measure for one or more items of gain, loss, profit or
expense (A) determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, (B)
related to the disposal of a business segment, (C) related to a change in accounting principle
under GAAP, (D) related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business
under GAAP, or (E) attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company
during the fiscal year. Such adjustments shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, where
applicable, or if such adjustments relate to a non-GAAP measure, in accordance with how the Company
reports non-GAAP measures to investors.
Determination of whether the individual component has been potentially earned will be made in
the Committees sole discretion based on its review of the Participants performance during the
Performance Year.
Except as provided in Section VI, actual earning of a potentially earned Award shall not occur
unless a Participant remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates through the date that actual
earned Awards are paid. Actual earned Awards will be paid in cash as soon as practicable after the
amount potentially earned and payable under the Award, if any, is determined, but in no event later
than October 15th of the year following the end of the Performance Year.
VI. Change in Employee Status
A. Retirement or Death
If a Participant terminates employment with the Company or its Affiliates by reason of
Retirement or death before payment of an Award is made, the Participants Award shall be pro-rated
on the basis of the ratio of (x) the number of completed months (rounded to the nearest whole
number) of participation during the applicable Performance Year to (y) to twelve months. Payment
of such pro-rated Award shall occur only if the Committee determines that the applicable
Performance Measure(s) are achieved at the threshold level of performance set by the Committee and
shall occur on the date that all other Participants receive payment of their respective earned
Awards. For purposes of the Plan, Retirement means a Participants termination of employment with
the Company or an Affiliate for any reason except Cause after attaining 60 years of age and five
years of combined service with the Company or any Affiliate. For purposes of the Plan, Cause
shall mean (A) the willful and continued failure by a Participant to substantially perform his or
her duties with the Company or any Affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from his or her
incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Participant by the Company or Affiliate, which demand specifically identifies the
manner in which the Company or Affiliate believes that he or she has not substantially performed
his or her duties, or (B) the willful engaging by the Participant in conduct which is demonstrably
and materially injurious to the Company or its Affiliates, monetarily or otherwise. No act, or
failure to act, on the Participants part shall be deemed willful unless done, or omitted to be
done, by him or her not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or
omission was in the best interest of the Company or its Affiliates.
B. Other Changes in Status
For any other changes in employment status (e.g., new hire; termination for any reason other
than Retirement or death; demotion; change in hours; or leave of absence), the Committee in its
sole discretion will make determinations for the application of the Plan to Participants or
eligible persons who have such a change in employee status.
VII. Section 409A
Each Award is intended to qualify for the short-term deferral exemption from Section 409A
and shall be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Committee
nor the Company or its Affiliates, nor any person acting on behalf of any of them, shall be liable to a Participant by reason of any
acceleration of income, or any tax or additional tax, asserted by reason of any failure of an Award
or any portion thereof to satisfy the requirements for exemption from, or compliance with, Section
409A of the Code.
VIII. Amendment and Termination
The Committee may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any purpose
that may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to future
grants of Awards; provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the
Committee may not, without a Participants consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to affect
adversely the Participants rights under the Award, unless the Committee expressly reserved the
right to do so when the Award was granted.
IX. Miscellaneous
(a) Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan
will be construed as giving any person the right to continued employment or employment for a
specific period of time with the Company or its Affiliates. In no event shall the Plan, or any
Award made under the Plan, form a part of an employees contract of employment, if any. The loss
of existing or potential profit in any Award will not constitute an element of damages in the event
of termination of employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an
obligation of the Company or Affiliate to the Participant.
(b) Other Compensation Arrangements. The
existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the Companys right to
provide any employee bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards granted under the Plan.
(c) Withholding Taxes. Any taxes required
to be withheld by federal, state or local governments will be deducted from all payments of earned
Awards under the Plan.
(d) Unfunded Status of Awards. All earned
Awards will be paid from the Companys general assets. Nothing contained in this Plan will require
the Company to set aside or hold in trust any funds for the benefit of any Participant.
(e) Effective Date. The Plan is effective
as of July 1, 2010.
