(e) On May 23, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Landec Corporation (the “Company”) approved the performance criteria and structure for cash bonuses that may be awarded to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, Apio, Inc. (“Apio”) and Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore”), for the 2012 fiscal year (the “Plan”).  Employees of the Company may earn cash bonuses based upon the achievement of revenue and controllable income targets for the Company for fiscal year 2012.  Employees of Apio may earn cash bonuses based upon the achievement of revenue and controllable income targets for Apio for fiscal year 2012.  Employees of Lifecore may earn cash bonuses based upon the achievement of revenue and controllable income targets for Lifecore for fiscal year 2012.  The aggregate cash bonus amount payable under the Plan is allocated among the participants based upon the base salary of each participant.  Bonuses are calculated by multiplying a percentage of each participant’s base salary by the percentage of the performance target that is achieved.  The percentage of base salary used to determine each participant’s maximum cash bonus payment ranges from 83% to 104% of base salary for executive officers and from 19% to 87% of base salary for other employees.  To receive a cash bonus under the Plan, participants must be employed by the Company, Apio or Lifecore at the end of fiscal year 2012.  Bonus payments, if any, will be made in single lump sum cash payments as soon as practicable after the end of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year.
