NAUTILUS, INC. PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT Nautilus, Inc. (the “Company”), through its Board of Directors or a Committee thereof (the “Plan Administrator”), has granted to the employee named on the notice of grant (“Grantee”) in the Grantee’s Company E*Trade account (the “Notice of Grant”), a Performance Unit Award pursuant to the Nautilus, Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in the Plan. The date of grant of this Performance Award is as specified in the Notice of Grant (the “Grant Date”). 1. Grant of Performance Unit Award. 1.1 Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Notice of Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Grantee a Performance Unit Award set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Award”). The Award consists of Performance Units representing the Grantee’s right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) calculated based on the level of achievement of the performance goals described on the performance summary sheet provided in your E*Trade account with your Notice of Grant (the “Performance Goals”) at March 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”). 1.2 The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. 1.3 The Plan Administrator shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon Grantee and his/her legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. 2. Achievement and Vesting. 2.1 As promptly as administratively practicable following completion of the Company’s audited financial statements for the last year of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall determine and certify the level at which the Company has achieved the specified Performance Goals. On the date of such certification (the “Vesting Date”), if the Performance Goals have been achieved, a number of Performance Units calculated based on the Achievement Matrix set forth in the performance summary sheet shall vest and an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock will become issuable. The number of Performance Units identified in the Notice of Grant as being granted hereunder is equal to 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable based on the achievement of all Performance Goals at the “Target” achievement level (the “Target Shares”). The percentage of the Target Shares that vest and become issuable under this Award will be determined based on the achievement of the Performance Goals at Threshold, Target and Maximum levels, as outlined in the Achievement Matrix of the performance summary sheet provided with the Notice of Grant. The minimum threshold is set at 30% of the Target Shares and the maximum is set at 200% of the Target Shares. The number of Performance Units vested and the number of shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Award will equal the applicable percentage identified in the Achievement Matrix of the Notice of Grant, multiplied by the Target Shares. If a Performance Goal is not achieved during the Performance Period, the Performance Award shall be forfeited. 2.2 Except as expressly provided in Section 2.3, in the event of the termination of Grantee's employment or service with the Company for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, Grantee shall forfeit all rights, title, and interest in and to the Performance Units. Neither Grantee nor any of Grantee's successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any rights or interests in any Performance Units that are so forfeited. Exhibit 10.1
2 2.3 If Grantee's employment or service with the Company is terminated as a result of Grantee's death or total disability prior to the last day of the Performance Period, then a prorated portion of the Performance Units shall immediately vest and the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock shall be issued. The number of Performance Units vesting under this Section 2.3 shall be equal to the product of (X) 100% of the Target Shares multiplied by (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Grantee’s completed months of service from the Grant Date through the date of such death or disability, and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). 2.4 A number of Performance Units equal to 100% of the Target Shares shall immediately vest and the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the sale, liquidation or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which, immediately following such merger or consolidation, the shareholders of the Company as a group hold less than a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the surviving corporation; or (iii) any person or entity, including any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), becomes the “beneficial owner”, as defined in the Exchange Act, of shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company. Provided that in no event will any portion of an Award become vested immediately prior to or upon a Change in Control, except that each Award will become fully vested if the Participant is terminated by the Company for a reason other than Cause (as defined in the Plan) upon or within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control. 3. Terms and Conditions of Award. The Performance Units shall be subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions: 3.1 The Performance Units are bookkeeping entries only. Until the Company has issued Common Stock to Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Performance Units granted pursuant to this Award shall not entitle the Grantee to any rights of a shareholder, including without limitation the right to receive dividends or to vote the shares underlying such Performance Units. 3.2 The Performance Units granted hereunder may not be transferred in any manner except as permitted by the Plan. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Grantee. 4. Delivery of Shares. As soon as administratively practicable after the Performance Units become vested hereunder the Company shall issue to Grantee or, at Grantee’s request, Grantee’s designated broker, one share of Common Stock in settlement of each vested Performance Unit. 5. Income Taxes. 5.1 The Grantee shall be liable for all applicable income and withholding taxes, including without limitation, any federal, state, local or other income taxes, or any FICA, state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (“Payroll Taxes”) with respect to any compensation income arising out of the vesting and issuance of the Performance Units hereunder and the issuance and the delivery of Common Stock in settlement thereof. 5.2 If the Company shall be required to withhold any Payroll Taxes in connection with the issuance and vesting of the Performance Units or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement thereof, it shall be a condition to such vesting or issuance that the Grantee pay the tax or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof. The Grantee shall satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Stock to be issued to the Grantee, and the shares of Common Stock so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Fair Market Value
3 per share of such Common Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Grantee will receive a cash refund for any fraction of a surrendered share not necessary for required Payroll Taxes. 5.3 If the Company cannot (under applicable legal, regulatory, listing or other requirements, or otherwise) satisfy any obligation to withhold Payroll Taxes in the manner described in Section 5.2, the Company may satisfy such withholding obligation by deducting such amount out of any other compensation otherwise payable to the Grantee. Grantee hereby consents to the Company withholding the full amount of the withholding obligation from any compensation or other amounts otherwise payable to Grantee, and Grantee agrees that the withholding and payment of any such amount by the Company to the relevant taxing authorities shall constitute full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to pay such compensation of other amounts to Grantee. 5.4 Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all obligations to withhold Payroll Taxes, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for Payroll Taxes legally due from Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility. 6.
