As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2014 (the “September 22nd 8-K”), Twinlab Corporation, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Employment Agreement with each of (i) Mark Jaggi, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; (ii) Richard Neuwirth, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer; and (iii) Kathleen C. Pastor, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Retail Sales (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”). The Prior Agreements were disclosed and described under the caption “Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets- EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION-Summary Compensation Table” in the September 22nd 8-K which disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

The Prior Agreements provided that at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), a new employment agreement with the Company may be signed with each of Messrs.

Accordingly, on and effective January 30, 2015, the Company executed the New Agreements which New Agreements supersede the Prior Agreements in their entirety.

Mr. Jaggi’s target annual bonus under such program is fifty percent (50%) of his base salary for the year to which the given bonus relates. The actual amount of the bonus for a given year will be determined by the Company pursuant to the applicable program and the attainment of applicable Company (including, if and as applicable, affiliates’) and/or individual performance metrics and may be between 0% and 100% of Mr. Jaggi’s base salary for the given year to which the bonus relates. The metrics upon which any performance-based bonus and bonus program are based (which may include qualitative and/or quantitative Company and/or individual performance metrics) and corresponding bonus levels will be reviewed and may be modified and set annually by the Company in its sole discretion and subject to and commensurate with the Board’s approval of the annual operations budget for the Company.

 

Mr. Jaggi is eligible to participate in the Company’s equity incentive or similar plan(s) or program(s) as and when implemented by the Company (or the Company’s subsidiary, Twinlab Consolidation Corporation (“TCC”), under which employees of the Company are eligible to participate); and is eligible to receive from time-to-time long-term equity incentive grants, including stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards, as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board and subject to any applicable performance metrics and/or budgetary or other business considerations, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan(s).
