(also referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-K”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 25, 2022. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K/A”) solely for the purpose of including in Part III the information that was to be incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, because the Company’s definitive proxy statement will not be filed with the Commission within 120 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. This Form 10-K/A hereby amends and restates in their entirety Items 10 through 14 of Part III of the Original Form 10-K. Additionally, this Form 10-K/A hereby amends and restates the cover page of the Original Form 10-K to remove the statement that information is being incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Form 10-K/A also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended and restated in its entirety to include the currently dated certifications as exhibits, and to reference the consolidated financial statements previously filed with the Original Form 10-K. Because no consolidated financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S‑K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
No attempt has been made in this Form 10-K/A to modify or update the other disclosures presented in the Original Form 10‑K, including, without limitation, the consolidated financial statements. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosures in the Original Form 10-K, except as set forth in this Form 10-K/A, and should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the Commission. Terms used but not defined herein are as defined in our Original Form 10-K. As used throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”), unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Tivity Health,” or the “Company” refer collectively to Tivity Health, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

| • | Effective February 2021, the Committee approved base salary merit increases for each of Messrs. Holland and Wagers, and the CEO approved and informed the Committee of base salary merit increases for each of Messrs. Lewis and Bilbao, who were not executive officers of the Company at the time of such approval. |
| • | In February 2021, the Committee approved the short-term incentive program for 2021, which was based solely on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA. Based on actual adjusted EBITDA for 2021, each NEO earned a short-term incentive award equal to 115% of target. |
| • | In March 2021, the Committee approved annual LTI awards to be granted effective March 22, 2021. (Mr. Ashworth did not receive an annual LTI award in 2021 due to having received an equity award in June 2020 intended as compensation for fiscal years 2020 through 2022). The Committee designed the LTI program to be generally consistent with the 2020 LTI program, such that 50% of the grant date fair value of each eligible NEO’s LTI grant consisted of “premium priced” stock options having an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date and becoming exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 50% of the grant date fair value of each eligible NEO’s LTI grant consisted of RSUs that vest one-third per year on each anniversary of the grant date. |
| • | In September 2021, the Committee adopted a separation benefits program (the “Separation Benefits Program”) applicable to the Company’s Section 16 Officers, including the NEOs. |
The Committee is committed to designing and maintaining an executive compensation program that is performance-based, competitive, and clear in its design and objectives, and that aligns the interests of management with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Committee considers the results of the previous year’s “say-on-pay” advisory vote on executive compensation and other feedback the Company
13
receives from its stockholders in determining the Company’s executive compensation policies and decisions.
Summary of Compensation Practices
Below are the key features of our executive compensation program that we believe drive sustainable results, encourage executive retention, and align executive and stockholder interests. We also highlight certain practices we do not do because we believe they do not align with our stockholders’ long-term interests.
What We Do | | What We Don’t Do |
Reinforce our pay-for-performance philosophy by designing the majority of total target executive compensation to be variable, through linkage to our financial or market results Mitigate undue risk by having caps on incentive awards and a recoupment policy with respect to all performance-based compensation, including performance-based equity Maintain meaningful stock ownership and retention requirements Engage an independent compensation consultant who reports directly to the Committee and does not provide any other services to the Company Require double trigger change in control provisions for acceleration of equity awards in all equity awards for executive officers Balance incentives to reward the achievement of short-term operating goals and long-term stockholder value creation Periodically, and at least annually, seek stockholder feedback on our executive compensation | | No excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control for employment agreements No tax gross-ups on ongoing benefits (which do not include benefits associated with one-time events such as relocation) for current or future executive officers No granting of discounted stock options No repricing of stock options without stockholder approval No hedging or short sales of Company securities No pledging of Company securities |
Impact of Say-on-Pay Vote Results
At the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 76.8% of the shares that were actually voted on the proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s NEOs were in support of our executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement relating to that meeting. The Committee has considered the outcome of the vote on executive compensation and believes it affirms our stockholders’ support of our overall approach to executive compensation. Accordingly, we have endeavored, to the extent possible in light of the changes in our business and our senior leadership and evaluation of the Company’s strategy, to maintain that overall approach to executive compensation.

The Committee’s Processes and Analyses
Role of Compensation Committee
The Committee sets and administers the policies that govern compensation of our executive officers, including:
| • | Annually evaluating the performance of the CEO and other executive officers and determining the compensation level, including short- and long-term incentive compensation, for each such person based on this evaluation; |
| • | Reviewing and approving any changes in executive officer incentive compensation plans and equity-based compensation plans; and |
| • | Reviewing and approving all equity-based compensation plans of the Company and granting equity-based awards pursuant to such plans. |
Only independent directors serve on the Committee. Based on the Committee’s charter, the Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee as long as such subcommittee is solely composed of one or more members of the Committee. The Committee may also delegate to one or more executive officers the authority to make grants of equity-based awards to individuals who are not executive officers.
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
We seek to attract, retain, and motivate talented individuals who are committed to the Company’s mission and core values. The Committee is committed to designing and maintaining an executive compensation program that is performance-based, competitive, clear in its design and objectives, and aligns the interests of management with those of the Company’s stockholders by rewarding executive officers when the Company achieves financial success.
The Committee believes that performance-based pay is key to achieving our financial and strategic objectives and meeting stockholder expectations. The direct effect of this performance-based philosophy is that a majority of the total target compensation (excluding benefits and perquisites) that is set at the beginning of the year for an NEO is variable. We consider compensation to be variable if the ultimate value realized may differ from the intended target compensation. Variable compensation includes both our annual short-term incentive awards and long-term incentive awards.
The Committee strives to align executive compensation with the unique talent and business needs of the Company, without encouraging excessive or unnecessary risk-taking, through the following objectives:
| • | To attract, retain and motivate talented executives by providing overall compensation that is performance-based, fair to the executives and the stockholders, and takes into consideration both individual contribution and corporate performance; |
| • | To closely align the interests of executives with the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders through a significant portion of each executive’s total compensation opportunity based on long-term equity incentives tied to financial performance, stock price performance, and/or operational performance; and |
| • | To provide appropriate incentives for executives to work toward the achievement of our overall business goals with payouts tied directly to the successful achievement of such goals. |
15
The Committee strives to design total compensation opportunities for the Company’s executives that are competitive, but not excessive, as compared to market practice. Market practice is generally defined as median compensation levels found among companies of comparable size and business relative to the Company. Individual compensation targets may be above or below market based on the following factors:
| • | The individual skills and experience of the executive; |
| • | The difficulty of attracting or replacing the executive; and |
| • | The importance of the position to the Company’s success. |
In addition, actual compensation earned may be above or below market levels depending on the performance of the executive and the Company as a whole.
We use the following compensation vehicles to meet the above-described objectives:
| • | Short-term incentives, based upon achieving clearly-defined financial and/or operational targets; and |
| • | Long-term incentives based on the achievement of financial performance, stock price performance, and/or operational performance. To focus our executives on the Company’s sustained performance over the long term, a majority of our target executive compensation is weighted toward long-term incentives. |
The compensation vehicles may vary by executive based on role, responsibilities, and the executive’s ability to influence Company performance and the achievement of key short- and long-term objectives.
On an annual basis, or more frequently as needed, the Committee reviews:
| • | The Company’s compensation philosophy, ensuring proper alignment with the Company’s principal business objectives; |
| • | Our executive compensation policies in light of our financial performance, annual budget, long-term objectives, and competitive and best practices; and |
| • | The compensation of each individual executive in light of such executive’s contribution and performance, market practice for the executive’s role, and the Committee’s executive compensation policies for that year. |
The Committee believes that our executive compensation program and governance policies do not encourage our management or colleagues to take risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. This belief is based on the following factors: our balance of short- and long-term incentives; our use of different types of equity compensation awards that provide a balance of incentives; our cap on incentive awards; our recoupment policy (which permits the Committee, in its discretion, to recover incentive-based compensation from our executive officers in the event of a restatement of our financial results or non-compliance with our Code of Business Conduct to the material detriment of the Company); our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies; and our stock ownership guidelines.
The Committee also believes that our compensation strategies are aligned with our compensation philosophy, long-term performance, and Company culture, which places significant value on high-performing individuals, and that those strategies promote individual responsibility for collective long-term success of the Company.
16
As discussed in further detail throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the Committee believes that the 2021 executive compensation program was reasonable and appropriate.
Setting Compensation
In addition to its annual review of executive compensation, the Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to review the Company’s executive compensation practices. The Committee has engaged FW Cook since 2013 to provide independent executive compensation advisory services. The independent compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee and provides no other services to the Company. The Committee also employs several tools to set executive compensation targets that meet the Company’s objectives, including the following:
| • | Assessment of individual performance |
| o | At least once per year, the Committee meets with the CEO to review and approve performance objectives for the upcoming year for each NEO. After the end of the year, the CEO delivers to the Committee individual performance evaluations and compensation recommendations for each NEO, excluding himself (“other NEOs”). The Committee determines compensation adjustments for each other NEO based on a variety of factors, such as a competitive compensation analysis; the Committee’s assessment of each other NEO’s individual performance, taking into account the CEO’s input; the Company’s performance; and the Committee’s judgment based on such NEO’s interactions with the Board. |
| o | After the end of the year, the CEO also presents to the Committee a self-assessment of his performance for the year based on his established performance objectives. The Committee conducts a confidential review of the CEO’s performance for the previous year and discusses any compensation adjustment based on the competitive compensation analysis, its assessment of the CEO’s performance in light of the pre-approved performance objectives, the Company’s performance, and the level of CEO compensation relative to the other NEOs. |
| • | Assessment of Company performance |
| o | In addition to each NEO’s individual performance, the Committee also considers the Company’s overall performance in determining executive compensation. When evaluating the relationship between the CEO’s pay and Company performance, the Committee considers both reported pay (as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table) and realized pay for the CEO in recent years (as applicable). |
| • | Compensation market data |
| o | The Committee reviews NEO compensation against external references to help guide compensation decisions. The Committee does not use particular formulas or target specific market pay positions when determining compensation levels of a particular officer position but instead uses external comparisons to provide a point of reference. The external references may include peer group analysis (see below) and/or commercially available, broad-based, comparative market compensation survey reports developed by independent professional organizations (collectively, the “Survey Reports”). The Survey Reports cover a significant number of companies across a broad range of industries. To support the Committee’s review and evaluation, management, and if applicable, an independent compensation consultant, provides the Committee with information compiled from the Survey Reports. |
| o | The Committee recognizes that the Company competes locally and nationally for talent with companies much larger than those included in our compensation peer group. These larger companies aggressively recruit for the best qualified talent in particularly critical functions. As a result, to attract and retain talent, the Committee may from time to time |
17
| | determine that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide compensation packages that deviate from the external market references. |
Executive Compensation for 2021
Program Elements
The 2021 executive compensation program consisted of:
| • | Short-term cash incentive awards, based on achieving clearly-defined financial, operational, or financial reporting targets; and |
| • | LTI awards that are based on service and/or Company performance. To focus our executives on the Company’s sustained performance over the long term, a meaningful portion of our target executive compensation is weighted toward long-term incentives. |
2021 Peer Group
In late 2020, FW Cook conducted a review of our peer group in light of our business and size. FW Cook applied certain criteria in developing the 2021 Peer Group (as defined below) such as industry sectors, revenues, enterprise value, and our historical peers. With regard to revenue and enterprise value, FW Cook evaluated comparable companies with revenues ranging from approximately one-fourth to four times our pro-forma annual revenues and favored companies with 12-month average enterprise values ranging from approximately one-fourth to four times our enterprise value. Our 2021 peer group consists of the following companies (the “2021 Peer Group”), whose compensation levels were used as competitive comparisons when reviewing our NEO compensation for 2021.
| Addus HomeCare, Inc. | | CorVel Corporation | | Planet Fitness, Inc. | |
| | | | | | |
| Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. | | Evolent Health, Inc. | | Premier, Inc. | |
| | | | | | |
| Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. | | HMS Holdings Corp. | | Providence Service Corp. | |
| | | | | | |
| BioTelemetry, Inc. | | NextGen Healthcare, Inc. | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. | |
| | | | | | |
| Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. | | Omnicell, Inc. | | U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
The median revenue for the latest four quarters and the median 12-month average enterprise value as of September 30, 2020 for companies in our 2021 Peer Group were $0.6 million and $1.4 billion, respectively.
Compensation Decisions for 2021
Based on the positive say-on-pay support received from our stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders regarding our 2020 executive compensation program, input from our independent compensation consultant FW Cook, and competitive and best practices, the Committee maintained a performance-based compensation philosophy when designing the 2021 executive compensation program.
The Committee believes that the Company’s 2021 executive compensation program was instrumental in attracting, retaining, and providing appropriate incentives for our NEOs. The Committee remains committed to designing and maintaining an executive compensation program that is performance-based, competitive, and clear in its design and objectives, and that aligns the interests of management with those of the Company’s stockholders.
18
In general, and based on the methodology described under the heading “Compensation market data”, the Committee believes compensation levels for the NEOs were appropriate.
Base Salary
In establishing base salaries for 2021, the Committee considered each NEO's performance and responsibilities, recommendations of the CEO, internal pay equity, pay relative to the market, and the date of each NEO’s last salary increase.
Effective February 22, 2021, each of the NEOs except for Mr. Ashworth received a merit increase in his base salary. Base salaries for the NEOs were as follows:
Annualized Base Salary ($000s)
Name | | | 2021 Base Salary | | | | | 2020 Base Salary (at end of year) | | | | | Percentage Increase | | | | | Date of Previous Increase |
Richard Ashworth | | | $ | 900 | | | | | $ | 900 | | | | | 0.0% | | | | | n/a |
Adam Holland | | | $ | 424 | | | | | $ | 412 | | | | | 3.0% | | | | | 02/2020 |
Thomas Lewis | | | $ | 425 | | | | | $ | 380 | | | | | 11.8% | | | | | 12/2020 |
Ray Bilbao | | | $ | 309 | | | | | $ | 300 | | | | | 3.0% | | | | | 12/2020 |
Ryan Wagers | | | $ | 300 | | | | | $ | 283 | | | | | 5.9% | | | | | 02/2020 |
Short-term Cash Incentive Awards
We offer short-term cash incentive awards to NEOs to align their annual compensation with the Company’s financial and operational objectives for the current year. For fiscal year 2021, the performance factor for the short-term cash incentive award was Adjusted EBITDA (weighted 100%). Actual payouts were calculated using the following formula: (Base Salary * Bonus Target Percentage * Performance Factor Achievement). The maximum amount that each NEO could earn for the full year was 200% of target. Short-term cash incentive awards earned are described in further detail below and were paid in mid-March 2022.
Short-Term Cash Incentive Target Percentages
Short-term cash incentive targets (expressed as a percentage of base salary) were set based on target percentages that correspond with each NEO’s internal job grade and/or market comparisons. The Committee believes that the short-term cash incentive targets are market competitive and that they establish the appropriate level of at-risk annual cash incentive and drive the achievement of annual performance goals.
Short-term Cash Incentive Targets (as a percentage of base salary)
| | As of December 31, | |
Name | | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Richard Ashworth | | 100% | | | 100% | |
Adam Holland | | 50% | | | 50% | |
Thomas Lewis | | 50% | | | 50% | |
Raymond Bilbao | | 50% | | | 50% | |
Ryan Wagers | | 40% | | | 40% | |
19
Adjusted EBITDA (100% of Total Bonus Target)
Generally consistent with 2014 through 2020, the predominant performance metric for short-term cash incentive awards for 2021 was Adjusted EBITDA, which was used as a metric for both earning and funding short-term cash incentive awards (the “Adjusted EBITDA Bonus”). “Adjusted EBITDA” was defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization excluding certain pre-defined costs, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to loss on extinguishment and modification of debt, other income (loss) related to the Company’s investment in Sharecare, Inc., other income (loss) related to mark-to-market adjustments on certain interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and integration and CEO transition costs. The Committee believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a specific measure of operating and financial performance and aligns our executives with our short-term business goals for EBITDA growth. The Adjusted EBITDA Bonus comprised 100% of each NEO’s total bonus target for 2021.
Each NEO’s Adjusted EBITDA Bonus was based on the Company’s achievement of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. The short-term cash incentive pool for the NEOs (“NEO Bonus Pool”) began funding when Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations exceeded $156 million (the “Adjusted EBITDA Threshold”). The following table outlines the threshold and target Adjusted EBITDA goals, along with the Adjusted EBITDA achieved and the corresponding payout as a percent of target for each NEO.
| Threshold | | | Target | | | Actual | | | Payout (% of Target) | |
Adjusted EBITDA ($mil.) | $ | 156.0 | | | $ | 162.3 | | | $ | 166.1 | | | | 115.0 | % |
Based on actual Adjusted EBITDA (before accruing the Adjusted EBITDA Bonus described herein) of $166.1 million for 2021, each NEO earned an Adjusted EBITDA Bonus of 115% of the target applicable to such NEO.
Short-Term Cash Incentive Payouts for 2021 ($000s)
Name | | 2021 at Target | | | 2021 Actual Payout | |
Richard Ashworth | | $ | 900 | | | $ | 1,037 | |
Adam Holland | | $ | 211 | | | $ | 243 | |
Thomas Lewis | | $ | 209 | | | $ | 241 | |
Raymond Bilbao | | $ | 154 | | | $ | 177 | |
Ryan Wagers | | $ | 119 | | | $ | 137 | |
Long-Term Incentive Awards
The Committee believes that our LTI compensation is a key component of our retention strategy and is integral to our ability to achieve our performance goals. LTI awards are generally granted annually to eligible employees, including our NEOs. LTI awards are typically made during the first quarter or shortly thereafter once the Committee has had the opportunity to review the previous year’s full year results, expected performance for the current year, and the Company’s long-range business plan (to the extent a sufficient number of shares is available under the Company’s equity incentive plan). The Committee may also approve additional equity-based awards in certain special circumstances, such as upon an officer’s initial employment with the Company, the promotion of an officer to a new position or in recognition of special contributions made by an officer.
20
The table below summarizes the types of long-term incentives granted to the NEOs in recent years intended to incentivize performance and the objective for using each of the incentives in supporting the interests of the stockholders.
Incentive | Objective |
RSUs | Encourage executive retention and align management and stockholder interests |
MSUs | Align management and stockholder interests and reward achievement of certain total shareholder return goals |
PSUs | Align management and stockholder interests and reward achievement of the Company’s financial goals |
Stock options | Reward share price appreciation |
Annual Equity Awards
As described above, one of our key compensation objectives is to provide long-term incentive compensation to strengthen and align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. Each NEO’s target LTI value was set based on the NEO’s internal job grade and/or market comparisons. To meet this objective, the Committee designed the LTI program for 2021 such that 50% of the grant date fair value of each eligible NEO’s LTI grant consisted of “premium priced” stock options having an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date. The remaining 50% of the grant date fair value of each eligible NEO’s LTI grant consisted of RSUs. Effective March 22, 2021, each NEO except for Mr. Ashworth received an annual equity award. Mr. Ashworth was not eligible for an LTI grant in 2021 due to having received an equity award effective June 2020 granted as compensation for fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
Name | | | RSUs (1) | | | | Grant Date Fair Value of RSUs | | | | Premium Priced Stock Options (2) | | | | Grant Date Fair Value of Premium Priced Stock Options | |
Adam Holland | | | | 13,598 | | | | $ | 324,992 | | | | | 24,603 | | | | $ | 325,006 | |
Thomas Lewis | | | | 9,937 | | | | $ | 237,494 | | | | | 17,979 | | | | $ | 237,503 | |
Raymond Bilbao | | | | 5,126 | | | | $ | 122,511 | | | | | 9,273 | | | | $ | 122,496 | |
Ryan Wagers | | | | 3,661 | | | | $ | 87,498 | | | | | 6,624 | | | | $ | 87,503 | |
(1) | The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments over three years. |
(2) | Premium priced stock options become exercisable on March 22, 2024. |
Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines
Our stock ownership and retention guidelines require currently employed NEOs to maintain a minimum ownership in the Company’s stock calculated as a multiple of their base salary aligned with their job responsibility (for 2021, at least 3.75 times base salary for Mr. Ashworth, 2.0 times base salary for Messrs. Holland and Lewis, 1.8 times base salary for Mr. Bilbao, and 1.2 times base salary for Mr. Wagers). NEOs must retain 75% of the net number of shares acquired (after payment of exercise price, if any, and taxes) upon the exercise of all stock options and upon the vesting of all RSUs, PSUs, and MSUs granted until they achieve the required multiple of base salary. NEOs who do not comply with the guidelines may not be eligible for future equity awards. All of the NEOs are currently in compliance with the guidelines.
21
401(k) Plan
The Committee believes that an important aspect of attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as NEOs involves providing a means to save for retirement. As part of the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is based on a calendar year, during 2021 the Company matched 50 cents of each dollar of a participant’s voluntary salary contributions (up to a maximum of 6% of base salary). The annual maximum participant voluntary salary contribution, which is established by the Internal Revenue Service, was $19,500 for 2021, plus a “catch-up” contribution limit for those over 50 years old of $6,500. With respect to the 2021 plan year, all of the Company’s matching contributions were in cash. Employees are credited with approximately 33% vesting in Company contributions each year during their first three years of service such that after three years of service, employees are fully vested in all prior and future Company matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. All of the NEOs were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan during 2021.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
The Committee believes that reasonable severance and change in control benefits are necessary in order to recruit and retain effective executives and compete for executive talent within our industry. In addition, the Committee also believes that a change in control arrangement provides an appropriate level of security to an executive that will likely reduce the reluctance of that executive to pursue a change in control transaction that could be in the best interests of our stockholders. Although the Committee independently reviews the potential severance and change in control payments in light of their reasonableness as part of negotiating employment agreements or offer letters with our executive officers, the Committee typically does not consider the value of potential severance and change in control payments when assessing annual compensation because severance payments as a result of a change in control are contingent in nature and have primary purposes unrelated to ordinary compensation. For a detailed discussion of potential severance and change in control benefits as well as an estimate of the amounts that would have been payable had they been triggered as of the end of 2021, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control of the Company”.
Perquisites and Other Benefits
NEOs are eligible for benefits generally available to and on the same terms as the Company’s employees who are categorized as exempt for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Those benefits include health, disability, dental and life insurance. These payments are discussed in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table.
Tax Deductibility of Compensation
Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 (the “Tax Act”), Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limited the Company’s ability to deduct on its tax return compensation over $1 million to the NEOs, other than the CFO, serving at the end of the year unless, in general, the compensation was paid pursuant to a plan that was performance-related, non-discretionary, and approved by the Company’s stockholders (“performance-based compensation”).
The Tax Act substantially modified Section 162(m) and, among other things, eliminated the performance-based compensation exception to the $1 million deduction limit with respect to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. Accordingly, effective beginning in fiscal 2018, compensation paid to our NEOs (including our CFO) will be subject to the limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) for any year in which compensation is paid to them (even years following their separation from service), and we will no longer be able to deduct “performance-based compensation” to such officers who receive annual compensation in excess of $1 million. However, the Tax Act
22
provides that awards that were made and subject to binding written contracts in effect on November 2, 2017 are “grandfathered” under prior law and can still qualify as deductible “performance-based compensation,” even if paid in future years. The Committee will continue to monitor these awards and Internal Revenue Service guidance to determine whether they are deductible if and when paid. The Committee has determined, however, that the Company will not necessarily seek to limit executive compensation to amounts deductible under Section 162(m) if the Committee believes such limitation is not in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. While considering the tax implications of its compensation decisions, the Committee believes its primary focus should be to attract, retain, and motivate executives, and align the executives’ interest with those of the Company’s stockholders.
Compensation Decisions for 2022
For 2022 and beyond, the Committee remains committed to designing and maintaining an executive compensation program that is performance-based, competitive, and clear in its design and objectives, and that aligns the interests of management with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Committee will continue to evaluate the executive compensation program each year in light of market competitiveness and new facts and circumstances to ensure that our executive compensation strategies are aligned with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and our business objectives.
2022 Peer Group
In September 2021, FW Cook conducted a review of our peer group. FW Cook applied certain criteria in developing the 2022 Peer Group (as defined below) such as industry sectors, revenues, enterprise value, and our historical peers. With regard to revenue and enterprise value, FW Cook evaluated comparable companies with revenues ranging from approximately one-fourth to four times our pro-forma annual revenues and favored companies with 12-month average enterprise values ranging from approximately one-fourth to four times our enterprise value. Our 2022 peer group consists of the following companies (the “2022 Peer Group”), whose compensation levels were used as competitive comparisons when reviewing our NEO compensation for 2022. The median revenue for the latest four quarters and the median enterprise value as of August 31, 2021 for companies in our 2022 Peer Group were $0.7 million and $2.2 billion, respectively.

Following is a summary of compensation decisions with respect to the NEOs for 2022:
Base Salaries
In establishing base salaries for 2022, the Committee considered each NEO’s performance and responsibilities, CEO recommendations, internal pay equity, pay relative to the market and the 2022 Peer Group, and date of the last salary increase. The Committee determined that the NEOs’ base salaries would be equal to the amounts set forth below effective February 21, 2022:

Ryan Wagers | | | $ | 311 | | | | $ | 300 | | | | 3.5% | | | | 02/2021 |
Short-Term Incentive Awards
For 2022, 80% of each NEO’s short-term incentive target is based on Company achievement of financial goals, specifically Adjusted EBITDA. The remaining 20% of each NEO’s short-term incentive target is based on Company achievement of an operational and strategic goal, specifically virtual visits. There were no changes to any of the NEOs’ individual short-term incentive targets from the levels established at the end of 2021. The NEOs’ potential award payouts are capped at 190% of the target award amount.
Short-Term Incentive Targets for 2022 (as a percentage of base salary)

Long-Term Incentive Awards
The Committee granted annual equity awards in March 2022. Similar to 2020 and 2021, the Committee designed the LTI program for 2021 such that 50% of the grant date fair value of each NEO’s LTI grant consisted of “premium priced” stock options having an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date. The stock options become exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 50% of the grant date fair value of each NEO’s LTI grant consisted of RSUs that are subject to vesting in three equal installments over three years. Mr. Ashworth was not eligible for an annual LTI grant in 2021 due to having received an equity award in June 2020 granted as compensation for fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
Special Incentive Bonus Award
On February 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Special Incentive Bonus Award Agreement (the “Special Incentive Bonus Award Agreement”) with Mr. Ashworth, pursuant to which Mr. Ashworth will be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of $5,000,000 on February 11, 2027 (the “Vesting Date”), as long as Mr. Ashworth is serving as an employee of the Company on the Vesting Date.

If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than termination for cause, or is terminated by Mr. Ashworth for good reason, then, subject to Mr. Ashworth’s execution of the release of claims in favor of the Company, any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date of termination of Mr. Ashworth’s employment will immediately vest. If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or disability, then any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date of termination of Mr. Ashworth’s employment will immediately vest. If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated for cause or Mr. Ashworth is terminated for any other reason not already described above, then any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date on which Mr. Ashworth’s employment is terminated will immediately be forfeited and Mr. Ashworth shall have no further rights with respect to such Special Incentive Bonus Award. In the event of a change in control, the Special Incentive Bonus Award will vest as follows: (a) 50% of the Special Incentive Bonus Award will immediately vest on the date of the change in control, and (b) 50% of the Special Incentive Bonus Award will vest on the first anniversary of the date of the change in control.

(1) | Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the respective period calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, consistent with our estimate of the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized for performance-based and market-based stock awards assuming 100% of target shares are earned. For additional detail regarding the assumptions used in the calculation of these fair value amounts, see Note 7 to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Form 10-K filed with the Commission on February 25, 2022. |
In 2020, stock awards for Mr. Ashworth included an inducement award consisting of 500,000 RSUs vesting 50%, 25%, and 25% on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, respectively, to replace compensation forfeited from Mr. Ashworth’s former employer and to induce Mr. Ashworth to join the Company (“CEO Inducement Award”). The CEO Inducement Award had a grant date fair value of $5,550,000. In addition, in 2020 Mr. Ashworth was granted 150,000 RSUs (“CEO RSU Award”) and 150,000 MSUs (at target performance) (“CEO MSU Award”), each of which were intended as compensation for fiscal years 2020 through 2022, and which had an aggregate grant date fair value of $4,491,000. With respect to the MSUs, the table above includes the aggregate compensation cost ($2,826,000) to be recognized for the MSU award based on the Monte Carlo valuation of the award. Assuming the highest level of performance conditions will be achieved, the value of the award at the grant date (i.e., the maximum potential shares multiplied by the fair value per share of $11.10 on the grant date) is $4,995,000.
In 2019, stock awards for Mr. Holland include $687,501 aggregate compensation costs to be recognized for PSU awards assuming 100% would be earned at the end of the two-year performance period. Based on actual performance as measured following the end of the performance period, the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized for PSU awards granted to Mr. Holland in 2019 is $443,493.
In 2019, stock awards for Mr. Wagers include $231,249 aggregate compensation costs to be recognized for PSU awards assuming 100% would be earned at the end of the two-year performance period. Based on actual performance as measured following the end of the performance period, the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized for PSU awards granted to Mr. Wagers in 2019 is $163,915.

Employment Agreements for NEOs
Messrs. Ashworth and Holland are currently employed pursuant to written employment agreements with the Company effective on the following dates:
| • | Mr. Ashworth – May 20, 2020 |
| • | Mr. Holland – May 22, 2017 |
Collectively, the employment agreements with Messrs. Ashworth and Holland are referred to as the “NEO Employment Agreements”. The employments of each of Messrs. Lewis, Bilbao, and Wagers were subject to offer of employment letters executed on the following dates (the “NEO Offer Letters”), which do not contain a stated term, constituting at-will employment:
| • | Mr. Lewis – October 4, 2018 (and subsequent amendments dated April 1, 2019 and October 30, 2020) (collectively, the “Lewis Offer Letter”) |
| • | Mr. Bilbao – October 30, 2020 (the “Bilbao Offer Letter) |
| • | Mr. Wagers – September 14, 2018 (the “Wagers Offer Letter”) |
Mr. Ashworth’s employment agreement expires on June 1, 2023 and renews for successive one-year periods thereafter, unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intention not to renew the agreement at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. A non-renewal of the CEO’s employment agreement by the Company will be treated as a termination without “cause”, and a non-renewal of the employment agreement by Mr. Ashworth will be treated as a termination without “good reason.”
Mr. Holland’s employment agreement provides for an initial term of one year (which expired on June 14, 2018) and thereafter renews for continuous periods of one year each.
Each NEO Employment Agreement and NEO Offer Letter provides for an annual base salary as well as participation in all applicable benefit plans maintained by the Company. Base salary payable under each
32
NEO Employment Agreement is subject to annual review and may be increased by the Board, or a committee thereof, as it may deem advisable. The NEO Employment Agreements and NEO Offer Letters generally provide for the participation of each NEO in short-term and long-term incentive awards, if any, as determined by the Board, or a committee thereof comprised solely of independent directors.
The NEO Employment Agreements and NEO Offer Letters provide for certain potential severance and change in control benefits. In addition, in September 2021, the Compensation Committee adopted a separation benefits program (the “Separation Benefits Program”) that provides for severance and change in control benefits and is applicable to the Company’s NEOs. The NEOs are not entitled to participate in the Separation Benefits Program to the extent they are entitled to any severance payments or benefits from another program or agreement with the Company (for example, an employment agreement or offer of employment letter) that provides greater severance payments or more favorable terms than the Separation Benefits Program. As such, Mr. Bilbao is the only NEO entitled to participate in the Separation Benefits Program. The potential severance and change in control benefits to which the NEOs are entitled under the NEO Employment Agreements, the NEO Offer Letters, or the Separation Benefits Program, as applicable, are discussed in detail under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control of the Company.”
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control of the Company
Potential payments for each of the NEOs upon termination or a change in control of the Company are discussed below.
Each of the NEO Employment Agreements contain restrictive provisions relating to the use of confidential information, competing against the Company and soliciting any customers or employees of the Company during the term of employment and for a period up to 24 months thereafter (in the case of Mr. Ashworth) or 12 months thereafter (in the case of Mr. Holland). The NEO Employment Agreements provide that employment may be terminated at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Company and the NEO. The employment of the NEOs also could have been terminated as of December 31, 2021 under the following circumstances:
| 1) | Involuntary without Cause – the Company may terminate each NEO’s employment without cause at any time by delivery of a written notice of termination to the executive. |
| 2) | Voluntary for Good Reason – the NEO may resign by delivery of a written notice of resignation to the Company within 60 days (or, in the case of Mr. Bilbao, 30 days) of the occurrence of any of the following events: |
| a. | Reduction in base salary - (i) in the case of Mr. Ashworth, a reduction in his base salary unless such reduction is part of an across the board reduction affecting all senior officers of the Company; (ii) in the case of Messrs. Holland, Lewis and Wagers, a material reduction in the NEO’s base salary unless such reduction is part of an across the board reduction affecting all Company executives with a comparable role or title; or (iii), in the case of Mr. Bilbao, a material reduction in his base salary unless all Section 16 officers of the Company are required to take a salary reduction that is equal to or less than 25% of their base salary; |
| b. | Relocation - (i) in the case of Messrs. Ashworth and Holland, a requirement by the Company to relocate the NEO to a location that is more than 25 miles from the location of the NEO’s current office (except for relocation to the Nashville, Tennessee metropolitan area in the case of Mr. Ashworth); (ii) in the case of Messrs. Lewis and Wagers, a requirement by the Company to relocate his residence, unless such relocation is mutually agreed upon by him |
33
| | and the Company; or (iii) in the case of Mr. Bilbao, a requirement by the Company to move more than 50 miles from his home address as of September 22, 2021; |
| c. | Change in control - in connection with a change in control (as defined below), the failure by the successor or the Company’s Board to honor the NEO’s employment agreement or offer such NEO an employment agreement containing substantially similar or otherwise satisfactory terms, in the case of Messrs. Ashworth and Holland; or |
| d. | Change in status or responsibilities - in the case of Mr. Ashworth, a material reduction in his title, or a material and adverse change in his status and responsibilities, or the assignment to him of duties or responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with his title and responsibilities, including following a change in control, if Mr. Ashworth no longer serves as the CEO of the acquiring or successor company reporting to the board of directors (or other governing body) of such entity. |
Upon receipt of an NEO’s written notice that one or more of the above-identified events has occurred, the Company shall have a 60-day period (30 days in the case of Mr. Bilbao) to cure the good reason event. If such event is cured, the NEO shall no longer have the right to resign for Good Reason.
| a. | the Company may, at any time, terminate the employment of Mr. Ashworth by delivery of a written notice of termination to Mr. Ashworth specifying the event(s) relied upon for such termination upon the occurrence of any of the following: |
| i. | continued failure by Mr. Ashworth to substantially perform his duties after written notice and failure to cure within 60 days; |
| ii. | conviction of a felony or engaging in misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or to its reputation or otherwise, or that would damage Mr. Ashworth’s ability to effectively perform his duties; or |
| iii. | willful violation of Company policies and procedures after written notice and failure to cure within 30 days. |
| b. | the Company may, at any time, terminate the employment of Messrs. Holland, Lewis, Bilbao or Wagers by delivery of a written notice of termination to the executive specifying the event(s) relied upon for such termination upon the occurrence of any of the following: |
| i. | continued failure by the NEO to substantially perform his duties after written notice and failure to cure within 60 days; |
| ii. | conviction of a felony (or arrest relating to a felony, in the case of Messrs. Lewis and Wagers) or engaging in misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or to its reputation or otherwise, or that would damage the NEO’s ability to effectively perform his duties; |
| iii. | theft or dishonesty by the NEO; |
| iv. | intoxication while on duty; or |
| v. | willful violation of Company policies and procedures after written notice and failure to cure within 30 days. |
| 4) | Voluntary without Good Reason – each NEO may terminate his employment at any time by delivery of a written notice of resignation to the Company no less than 60 days and no more than 90 days prior to the effective date of such executive’s resignation, except that such advance notice provision does not apply with respect to Messrs. Lewis, Bilbao, and Wagers. |
34
| 5) | Change in Control – “Change in control” is defined in each of the NEO Employment Agreements as any of the following events: |
| (i) | when any person or entity, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than the Company or a wholly owned subsidiary thereof or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner of the Company’s securities having 35% (or 50%, in the case of the CEO Agreement) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company in the ordinary course of business); or |
| (ii) | as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sales of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company or any successor corporation or entity entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors of the Company or such other corporation or entity after such transaction is held in the aggregate by the holders of the Company’s securities entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors of the Company immediately prior to such transaction. |
| 6) | Involuntary Without Cause or Voluntary for Good Reason On or Within 12 Months Following a Change in Control – each NEO Employment Agreement entitles the NEO to severance benefits in connection with a termination of his employment within 12 months following a change in control for good reason or in the event the Company terminates such NEO’s employment within 12 months following a change in control without cause, except that in the case of Mr. Ashworth, the preceding provisions apply if the termination of his employment occurs upon or within 12 months following a change in control. |
| 7) | Disability – the NEO Employment Agreements may be terminated by either the NEO or the Company upon written notice to the other party when: |
| a. | the NEO suffers a physical or mental disability entitling the NEO to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan, if any, or |
| b. | in the absence of a Company long-term disability plan, the NEO is unable, as reasonably determined by the Board, or any designated Committee of the Board (or, in the case of Mr. Holland’s agreement, as determined by the Company) to perform the essential functions of the NEO’s regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for a period of six consecutive months. |
| 8) | Death – the NEO Employment Agreements terminate upon death. |
| 9) | Retirement – under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, “normal retirement” occurs upon the retirement from active employment of the NEO on or after the date upon which the NEO reaches the age of 65. |
Under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, “early retirement” occurs where (i) the sum of the NEO’s age plus years of employment at the Company as of the proposed retirement date is equal to or greater than 70, (ii) the NEO has given written notice to the Company at least one year prior to the proposed early retirement date of his intent to retire and (iii) the CEO has approved in writing such early retirement request prior to the proposed early retirement date, provided that in the event the CEO does not approve the request for early retirement or the CEO is the NEO giving notice of his intent to retire, then in both cases, the Compensation Committee shall make the determination of whether to approve or disapprove such request.
35
None of the NEOs were eligible for normal or early retirement at December 31, 2021 based on the terms of the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan or the award agreements. Consequently, no information is provided with respect to any of the NEOs for amounts payable in connection with a normal or early retirement.
Following is the treatment of outstanding equity awards upon certain events:
| • | Death or Disability - Generally, all outstanding equity awards granted to NEOs fully vest in the event of death or disability; provided, however, that (i) in the case of unvested RSUs awarded in connection with the CEO RSU Award, the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on the nearest future vesting date will be accelerated to vest, and all RSUs that have not vested following such acceleration will be forfeited; and (ii) in the case of the CEO MSU Award, a number of MSUs will vest equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months during the performance period that the CEO was employed by the Company, and the denominator of which is 36, multiplied by (y) the number of MSUs that would vest pursuant to the award agreement if the performance goals set forth in the award agreement that had been achieved as of the vesting date were in fact achieved on the end date of the performance period (i.e., based on actual performance). |
| • | Change in Control - All outstanding, unvested equity awards granted to NEOs will not vest upon the occurrence of a change in control unless the acquirer does not assume the outstanding equity awards (or, in the case of stock options granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, substitute an equivalent award). In the event the acquirer does not assume the awards: |
| o | RSUs granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan will vest in full; |
| o | MSUs will vest based on the actual number of MSUs that would vest pursuant to the award agreement if the performance goals set forth in the award agreement that had been achieved as of the vesting date (i.e., the date of the change in control) were in fact achieved on the end date of the performance period; and |
| o | at the discretion of the Committee, stock options granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan may be accelerated, purchased for cash, or otherwise adjusted as the Committee deems appropriate. |
In the event the acquirer assumes the equity awards, these equity awards will only be entitled to accelerated vesting if:
| o | the NEO is involuntarily terminated, other than for cause, within 12 months following the occurrence of the change in control; |
| o | the NEO terminates for good reason within 12 months following the change in control (provided the NEO is party to an employment agreement or offer of employment letter with the Company that provides rights to the NEO upon a termination for good reason); or |
| o | in the case of RSUs and stock options granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, the NEO’s employment has previously terminated by reason of retirement as of the date of the change in control. |
Following the occurrence of any of these triggering events, (i) RSUs and stock options will become fully vested (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement or equity award agreement, if applicable), and (ii) the number of MSUs that will vest (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement or MSU award agreement, if applicable) will be equal to the actual number of MSUs that would vest pursuant to the award agreement if the performance
36
goals set forth in the award agreement that had been achieved as of the vesting date (i.e., the date of the change in control) were in fact achieved on the end date of the performance period.
| • | Normal or Early Retirement - Following a termination in connection with normal or early retirement, unvested equity awards (other than the CEO Inducement Award, CEO RSU Award, and CEO MSU Award) generally will not be forfeited but will continue vesting in accordance with the applicable award agreements; provided, however, that upon a change in control, some equity awards will become fully vested if the executive has retired as of the date of a change in control event (as discussed above). |
| • | Without Cause or for Good Reason - In the event the NEO’s employment is terminated without cause or if the NEO resigns for good reason (as defined in his/her employment agreement): |
| o | For unvested RSUs granted in April 2019, a portion will vest on the date of termination equal to the number of shares that were scheduled to vest on the next soonest vesting date (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement or award agreement, if applicable). |
| o | For the CEO Inducement Award granted in June 2020, unvested RSU awards will vest in full (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement). |
| o | For the CEO RSU Award granted in June 2020, a portion of the unvested RSUs will vest on the date of termination equal to the number of shares that were scheduled to vest on the next soonest vesting date (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement). |
| o | For the CEO MSU Award granted in June 2020, unvested MSU awards will vest on a pro rata basis (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement) based on the number of whole months that the NEO was employed during the performance period multiplied by the actual number of MSUs that would vest pursuant to the award agreement if the performance goals set forth in the award agreement that had been achieved as of the vesting date were in fact achieved on the end date of the performance period. |
| o | For unvested RSU and stock option awards granted in November 2020 and March 2021, a pro rata portion of the RSUs or stock options will vest (subject to the NEO’s execution of any release of claims as set forth in such NEO’s employment agreement or award agreement, if applicable) based on the number of days that the NEO was employed during the vesting period (less any RSUs or stock options from the same award that have previously vested). |
The following tables reflect the potential payments to be made by the Company to each of the NEOs upon termination or a change in control of the Company. These benefits are in excess of those usually provided to salaried employees. The payment amounts assume an effective change in control date or termination date of December 31, 2021. These amounts include earnings through the effective change in control date or termination date and are estimates of compensation that would be paid to the NEOs at the time of change in control or termination. The exact amounts of compensation can only be determined on the actual date that each NEO separates from the Company or that there is a change in control of the Company.
In addition to the Company compensation outlined in the tables below, third party insurance companies will provide life insurance and disability benefits if the NEOs separate for reasons of death or disability. If any of the NEO’s employment had terminated as of December 31, 2021 due to death as a result of natural causes, the beneficiaries of Messrs. Ashworth, Holland, Lewis, Bilbao, and Wagers would have received a lump sum payout from a third-party insurance provider of $750,000, $1,750,000, $750,000,
37
$1,236,000, and $600,000, respectively. In the event of an accidental death, the beneficiaries for Messrs. Ashworth, Holland, Lewis, Bilbao, and Wagers would have received an additional $1,750,000, $1,750,000, $750,000, $1,618,000, and $600,000, respectively, in a lump sum payout from a third-party insurance provider. If the NEOs’ employment had terminated as of December 31, 2021 due to disability, each of the NEOs would have been entitled to receive a monthly benefit of $12,000 until approximately age 67 from a third-party insurance provider. This benefit could be offset by other sources of income, such as Social Security or other disability benefits.
Richard Ashworth, Chief Executive Officer
The following table shows the potential payments upon termination or a change in control of the Company for Mr. Ashworth if his employment had terminated on December 31, 2021. The amounts in the table below assume execution of full release of claims in favor of the Company.

(1) | Represents 24 months of NEO’s base salary to be paid periodically at the regular payroll dates commencing as of the date of termination. |
(2) | Represents 30 months of NEO’s base salary to be paid in a lump sum following the NEO’s termination. Following a change in control, the payments would be paid in a lump sum no later than 30 days following the date of termination. |
(3) | Represents 24 months of the Company’s portion of premiums for group medical benefits to be paid in a lump sum no later than 30 days following the date of termination. |
38
(4) | Following a termination (a) without cause, (b) for good reason, or (c) because of disability, the NEO was entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of any short-term incentive to which the NEO is otherwise entitled as of the date of termination. Following a termination because of death, the NEO was entitled to any earned, but unpaid, short-term incentive as of the date of termination. Following a termination without cause or for good reason on or within 12 months following a change in control, the NEO was entitled to receive (i) a pro-rata portion of any short-term incentive to which the NEO is otherwise entitled as of the date of termination, measured at the greater of target or actual Company performance, plus (ii) an amount equal to the greater of actual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs or actual bonus for the year prior to the occurrence of the change in control. The short-term incentive award program for 2021 provided that all eligible individuals were required to be employed through December 31, 2021 in order to receive the award. Therefore, if the NEO’s employment had terminated for any reason other than cause on December 31, 2021, he would have been entitled to a short-term incentive award payment. No additional bonus amounts would be paid during the severance period. |
(5) | Following a change in control or a termination (a) without cause, (b) for good reason, (c) without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, or (d) because of disability or death, outstanding stock options, RSUs, MSUs, and other unvested equity incentives would be treated solely in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements. The table above assumes that such awards are not assumed by the acquiring corporation or other successor to the Company in a change in control. The values in the table are based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2021 of $26.44 per share. |
(6) | Although not reflected in this table, this amount would be reduced by any disability insurance payments paid by the insurance company to the NEO as a result of the NEO’s disability. In the event of disability, the NEO would receive $12,000 per each month of disability from the insurance company until reaching age 67. |

(1) | Represents 12 months of NEO’s base salary to be paid at regular payroll dates commencing within 60 days following the date of termination. Following a change in control, the payments would be paid in a lump sum no later than 60 days following the date of termination. |
(2) | For termination by the NEO without good reason, the NEO is entitled to base salary and benefits through the next payroll date following termination. |
(3) | Represents the Company’s portion of premiums for group medical benefits to be paid for 12 months following the NEO’s termination. |
(4) | Following a termination (a) without cause, (b) for good reason, (c) without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, or (d) because of disability or death, the NEO is entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of any short-term incentive to which the NEO is otherwise entitled as of the date of termination. The short-term incentive award program for 2021 provided that all eligible individuals were required to be employed through December 31, 2021 in order to receive the award. Therefore, if the NEO’s employment had terminated for any reason other than cause on December 31, 2021, he would have been entitled to a short-term incentive award payment. No additional bonus amounts would be paid during the severance period. |
(5) | Following a change in control (to the extent the awards are not assumed by the acquiring corporation or other successor to the Company) or a termination (a) without cause, (b) for good reason, (c) without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, or (d) because of disability or death, outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs will be treated solely in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements. The table above assumes that such awards are not assumed by the acquiring corporation or other successor to the Company in a change in control and, in the case of stock options, the Committee exercises its discretion to accelerate the vesting of such stock options. For stock options, the values in the table are based upon the difference between the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2021 of $26.44 per share and the exercise price of the awards, including only those awards whose exercise price was below the market price on December 31, 2021. For RSUs, the values in the table are based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2021 of $26.44 per share. |

CEO to Median Employee Pay Ratio
Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we are required to calculate and disclose the total compensation paid to our median employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee compared to the total compensation paid to the CEO. The following provides details on the methodology used to identify the median employee for 2021, as well as the results of the analysis.
Under the relevant rules, we were required to identify the median employee by use of a “consistently applied compensation measure.” The consistently applied compensation measure we used to identify the median employee was gross cash compensation paid to employees for the year ended December 31, 2021, which included base salary, incentive awards (including bonuses, short-term incentive awards, and sales incentives), and other miscellaneous cash awards or payments. We included all active employees (whether full-time, part-time, or seasonal) as of December 31, 2021. We did not make adjustments to the compensation paid to part-time employees to calculate what they would have been paid on a full-time basis. In addition, for any full-time employees who were hired during 2021, we used their annual salaries when calculating their gross cash compensation. We believe the use of total cash compensation (rather than total compensation, which would include equity awards) for all employees is a consistently applied compensation measure because we do not widely distribute annual equity awards to employees. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 16% of our employees were eligible to receive regular annual equity awards.
After identifying the median employee based on total cash compensation and the methodology described above, we calculated annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology we use for our NEOs as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The 2021 total compensation for Mr. Ashworth and for our median employee were $1,947,673 and $103,398, respectively, resulting in a ratio of 19:1.
This information is being provided for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Neither the Committee nor management of the Company used the pay ratio measure in making compensation decisions. Additionally, as a result of the flexibility permitted when identifying the median employee and the Company’s specific pay practices and workforce composition, the Company’s pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios of other companies.

Director Compensation
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCG Committee”) reviews on an annual basis director compensation in relation to other comparable companies and in light of other factors that the NCG Committee deems appropriate and discusses director compensation with the Board.
From January 1, 2021 until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-employee director (excluding the Chairman) earned an annual cash retainer of $75,000; the annual cash retainer for the Chairman was $200,000. In addition, the annual committee retainers were as follows:
Jan. 1, 2021 until 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders | | Annual Retainer | |
Committee | | Member | | Chair | |
Audit | | | $ | 15,000 | | | | | $ | 30,000 | |
Compensation | | | $ | 10,000 | | | | | $ | 20,000 | |
Nominating and Corporate Governance | | | $ | 10,000 | | | | | $ | 20,000 | |
Effective beginning on the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the NCG Committee approved the following revisions to non-employee director compensation:
| • | The annual cash retainer for each non-employee director (excluding the Chairman) decreased from $75,000 to $60,000; |
| • | The annual cash retainer for the Chairman decreased from $200,000 to $135,000; |
| • | The annual committee retainers were as follows: |
2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders through Dec. 31, 2021 | | Annual Retainer | |
Committee | | Member | | Chair | |
Audit | | | $ | 15,000 | | | | | $ | 35,000 | |
Compensation | | | $ | 10,000 | | | | | $ | 25,000 | |
Nominating and Corporate Governance | | | $ | 10,000 | | | | | $ | 25,000 | |
In addition, on the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, non-employee directors received an annual grant of RSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $125,000. Equity awards to non-employee directors during 2021 were made pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan”). Directors who are also our employees (e.g., Mr. Ashworth) receive no additional compensation for their Board service.
Director Deferred Compensation Plan
In December 2020, the Board approved a deferred compensation program for non-employee directors, which took effect January 1, 2021. Non-employee directors can defer all or a portion of the retainer and fee payments that would otherwise be paid or granted to them in cash or equity and may elect to convert any cash payments into RSUs or unrestricted shares based on the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the cash payments would otherwise have been made. For RSUs, dividend equivalents are credited to non-employee directors as if the RSUs are outstanding shares of Common Stock. Such dividend equivalents are deemed invested in additional RSUs. Alternatively, non-employee directors may elect to defer their cash compensation into a cash account that will earn interest at the long term “applicable federal rate” established by the IRS from time to time.
At such distribution date as specified in the election form, the director will receive a distribution of the deferred compensation then credited to him or her under the program. If the director elected to defer
45
RSUs (either the RSUs issued in lieu of cash pursuant to the election under the program or RSUs granted as an equity retainer), then shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs (including those issued as dividend equivalents) will be distributed to the director per his or her deferral election. Shares of Common Stock issued for RSUs are issued under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Plan. Upon a change in control of the Company, the period of deferral for any of such deferred amounts shall end, and payments shall be made to the director in accordance with the director’s election and the program.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
Since the beginning of the last fiscal year, we are not aware of any related party transactions between us and our directors, executive officers, 5% stockholders or their family members that require disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act (“Item 404”).
Pursuant to its written charter, the Audit Committee reviews and either approves or disapproves all transactions between the Company and any related person that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404.
In determining whether to approve any material related party transaction, the Audit Committee considers the relevant information and facts available to it regarding the transaction and takes into account factors such as the related party’s relationship to the Company and interest (direct or indirect) in the transaction, the terms of the transaction, and the benefits to the Company of the transaction. No director participates in the approval of an interested transaction for which he or she is a related party or otherwise has a direct or indirect interest.

Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Service Provided by Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm to one or more of its members, but the Audit Committee may not delegate its pre-approval authority to management.
Under these policies, the Audit Committee pre-approves the use of audit and audit-related services following approval of our independent registered public accounting firm’s engagement. Tax and other non-audit services that are not prohibited services, provided that those services are routine and recurring services and would not impair the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, may also be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm if those services are pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm will be established periodically by the Audit Committee. Our independent registered public accounting firm must provide detailed back-up documentation to the Audit Committee for each proposed service. The Audit Committee has pre-approved all audit and audit-related services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.
