Changes to 2025 Executive Compensation Program
In designing the 2025 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee and the Board implemented updated annual and long-term incentive programs to tie a substantial portion of the compensation of our executive officers with the achievement of key Company performance metrics and the creation of long-term stockholder value.
| • | Performance-Based Annual Bonus Program Tied to Key Metrics. In 2025, we adopted a performance-based bonus program for our executive officers which was designed to reward the executives for Company achievement relative to our key strategic objectives and the creation of stockholder value. In 2025, each of our executive officers, other than Mr. Lemonis, will be eligible for a performance bonus based upon four components, three pre-established corporate performance goals and objectives approved by our Board, and an individual performance modifier ranging from 0% to 125%. Adjusted EBITDA (three-month run rate), Adjusted Gross Margin, and Contribution Margin (each as defined below were selected as the corporate performance metrics for purposes of determining 2025 annual bonuses, and threshold, target and maximum payouts were established for |

each metric. These corporate performance goals were set at challenging levels such that the attainment of target annual cash incentive award opportunities tied to corporate performance was not assured at the time they were set and would require a high level of effort and execution on the part of the executive officers and others in order to achieve the goals. The Compensation Committee believes that each of these goals is strongly aligned with the creation of stockholder value.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin and Contribution Margin are non-GAAP measures. For a description of how each of these measures is calculated from the nearest GAAP counterpart, please see below.
| • | Performance Shares. In early 2025, one-half of the long-term incentive awards granted to our executive officers were in the form of performance shares. In early 2025, each of our executive officers was granted performance shares under our 2005 Plan, with the award tied to three pre-established performance metrics over a one-year performance period ending December 31, 2025. Each performance share is a unit that represents the right to receive one share of our common stock. The performance metrics are as follows: |
|---|
| • | Adjusted EBITDA Performance Metric. One-half of the performance share award will vest on achieving a negative $5 million Adjusted EBITDA three-month run rate (to earn 100% of target) or a $0 Adjusted EBITDA three-month run rate (to earn 120% of target) over any three calendar month period in 2025; in either instance, to be eligible to vest in any of the performance shares tied to Adjusted EBITDA, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA must be at least negative $44 million. |
|---|
| • | Adjusted Gross Margin Performance Metric. One-quarter of the performance share award is tied to Adjusted Gross Margin performance in 2025, and will vest based on achieving 23% Adjusted Gross Margin (to earn 50% of target), 25% Adjusted Gross Margin (to earn 100% of target), or 28% Adjusted Gross Margin (to earn 150% of target) for 2025; in any instance, to be eligible to vest in any of the performance shares tied to Adjusted Gross Margin, 2025 gross profit must reach $300 million. |
|---|
| • | Contribution Margin Performance Metric. One-quarter of the award is tied to the Contribution Margin performance metric in 2025, and will vest based on achieving 3% Contribution Margin (to earn 50% of target), 6% Contribution Margin (to earn 100% of target), or 9% Contribution Margin (to earn 150% of target). |
|---|
Performance achievement that falls between the threshold and target goals, and between the target and maximum goals, is subject to linear interpolation.
The table below illustrates the performance metrics, goals and payout ranges for the Performance Shares:
| Performance Metric (Weighting) | BelowThreshold | Threshold | Target | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA (Three-Month Run Rate)(50%)(1) | < -$5,000,000 | -$5,000,000 | -$5,000,000 | $0 |
| Earnout % of Target | 0% | 100% | 100% | 120% |
| Adjusted Gross Margin (25%)(2) | < 23.0% | 23.0% | 25.0% | 28.0% |
| Earnout % of Target | 0% | 50% | 100% | 150% |
| Contribution Margin (25%) | < 3.0% | 3.0% | 6.0% | 9.0% |
| Earnout % of Target | 0% | 50% | 100% | 150% |
| (1) | To be eligible to vest in any of the performance shares tied to Adjusted EBITDA, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA must be at least negative $44 million. |
| (2) | To be eligible to vest in any of the performance shares tied to Adjusted Gross Margin, 2025 gross profit must reach $300 million. |
If a performance metric is not achieved within the applicable time frame specified above, the portion of the award tied to such metric will be forfeited. Any earned performance shares are subject to service-based vesting and will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date.
Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as net income (net loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. Furthermore, for purposes of the 2025 performance shares, cash bonus and “CEO Wallet” expenses will be excluded.
Adjusted gross margin (“Adjusted Gross Margin”) is a non-GAAP measure calculated as the percentage of revenue kept after subtracting cost of goods sold, which includes product costs, advertising revenue and our marketing allowance program; and operational and fulfillment costs which include costs incurred to operate and staff our warehouses, including rent and depreciation expense associated with these facilities, costs to receive, inspect, pick, and prepare customer order for delivery, and direct and indirect labor costs including payroll, payroll-related benefits, and stock-based compensation.

| • | Time-Based RSUs. In early 2025, one-half of the long-term incentive awards granted to our executive officers were in RSUs. In early 2025, each of our executive officers was granted an award of RSUs under our 2005 Plan with multi-year vesting requirements, to provide appropriate incentives tied to the market price of the stock over a long period of time, without encouraging short-term or inappropriate management decisions. Each RSU is a unit that represents the right to receive one share of our common stock. |
