Dear Todd:

It is a pleasure to offer you the position of Vice President of Finance for Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. (the “Company”) with a planned start date of Monday, July 10, 2017. You will report directly to Shaun Mara, Chief Administrative and Chief Financial Officer. In this role, you will lead our Financial Planning & Analysis organization. We believe your skills and experiences will be invaluable to Atkins Nutritionals as our organization grows and evolves over the next few years.

Summary offer terms:

Your starting salary will be $350,000.00 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices and procedures.

Your annual bonus target opportunity will be 50% of your annualized base salary and will be subject to the terms of the applicable Company bonus plans for the year at issue. Bonuses are paid out at the discretion of management and you must be an active employee of the Company on the payment date in order to receive any bonus. Your bonus opportunity will be prorated for fiscal 2017 based upon your starting employment date with the Company.

You will be eligible to participate in the Simply Goods Foods Company 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan once approved by our Board of Directors. Initial equity grant to be defined at a later date.

Our Paid Time Off Program (“PTO”) combines all accrued time off benefits into a single bank. It includes an employee’s accrued vacation, personal, and sick days. During the first year of employment you will accrue paid time off at a rate of 2.25 days for every month of service. Under current policy, this equals a maximum of twenty-seven (27) days for a full calendar year.

All of these amounts are taxable income to you and will appear on your W-2 for the year the payment was disbursed to you or made on your behalf. These payments are considered taxable income and are subject to tax withholding in compliance with IRS regulations, therefore, you will receive a “net” check as reimbursement in the amounts listed herein. To help minimize your tax burden and to assist with the additional tax liability that results from reimbursed moving expenses, the Company will perform a tax assistance “gross-up” to you at year end.

You will be eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan effective immediately. Although the Company may revise its policies at any time, currently the Company will match 50% of your 401(k) contribution up to 6% of your salary.
