On or about March 15, 2023, we began mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our shareholders. The Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Shareholders are available at http://www.edocumentview.com/HLF.

Record date and voting securities.    Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2022,February 28, 2023, or the Record Date, or duly authorized proxy holders of such shareholders of record, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. The Company has one series of common shares, or Common Shares, outstanding. Each owner of record on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each Common Share held by such shareholder. On March 1, 2022,February 28, 2023, there were 109,866,33898,733,602 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Voting.    Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Common Share held on the Record Date on all matters submitted for consideration at the Meeting. A quorum, representing the holders of not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting, must be present in person or by proxy at the Meeting for the transaction of business.

“Broker non-votes” are Common Shares held in “street name” through a broker or other nominee over which the broker or nominee lacks discretionary power to vote and for which the broker or nominee has not received specific voting instructions. Thus, if Common Shares you own are held through a broker or other nominee, and you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your Common Shares may not be voted on certain matters. Common Shares that reflect “broker non-votes” are treated as Common Shares that are present and entitled to vote for the purposes of establishing a quorum. However, for the purposes of determining the outcome of any matter as to which the broker or nominee has indicated on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote, which is the case with all proposals to be considered at the Meeting other than proposal 3,6, those Common Shares will be treated as not present and not entitled to vote with respect to that matter, even though those Common Shares are considered present and entitled to vote for the purposes of establishing a quorum and may be entitled to vote on other matters.

See “Meaning of shareholder of record” below for additional information regarding the different ways you may hold your Common Shares.

 Part 2

 

 

 

Corporate governance

 

Director independence

 

 

Under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, a majority of the members of the Board must satisfy the NYSE criteria for “independence”.“independence.” No director qualifies as independent under the NYSE listing standards unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).

The Board evaluates the independence of our directors annually and will review independence of individual directors on an interim basis as needed to consider changes in employment, relationships and other factors. Our Board has affirmatively determined that all of the directors, and director nominees, as well as each individual who served as a director at any time during 2021,2022, other than Dr. Agwunobi and Messrs. Johnson, Mendoza and Tartol, are independent in accordance with Section 303A.02 of the NYSE listing standards, or the NYSE Independence Standards. Under the NYSE Independence Standards, a director will not be considered independent in the following circumstances:

 

the director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the Company, or an immediate family member of the director is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of the Company;

 

the director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);

 

(i) the director is a current partner or employee of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor; (ii) the director has an immediate family member who is a current partner of such firm; (iii) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on the Company’s audit; or (iv) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time;
the director or an immediate family member is, or has been with the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee;Compensation Committee; and

 

the director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

In July 2021, the Board approved enhancements to the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance. Under the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance, an independent director must, in addition to satisfying the NYSE Independence Standards, be free of any existing or potential professional or personal interest, business, or relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company and all its shareholders.

The Board considered Dr. Carmona’s independence in view of the $25,000$75,000 in speaking fees he received from the Company in 2021,2022, as disclosed in the subsection “Compensation to directors”.directors.” The Company leverages Dr. Carmona’s professional experience as the 17th Surgeon General of the United States to provide training and education to Herbalife Nutrition Members at various Company-sponsored sales, events, such as Extravaganzas, which arepromotional, and training and promotional events for our independent distributors.events. After consideration of the foregoing and other relevant factors, the Board determined that the Company’s engagement of Dr. Carmona for these limited services did not present a conflict of interest nor compromise Dr. Carmona’s independence from the Company.

Messrs. Jonathan Christodoro, Hunter C. Gary, Nicholas Graziano, Jesse A. Lynn and James L. Nelson served on the Board until January 3, 2021. Each had been re-nominated to the Board in connection with the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance

with the now terminated Second Amended and Restated Support Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2016, or the Support Agreement, among the Company, Carl C. Icahn and certain affiliated entities of Mr. Icahn, or the Icahn Parties. The Board determined that the Support Agreement while in effect and the relationships each director nominated pursuant to the Support Agreement had with the Icahn Parties did not compromise their independence. The Support Agreement was terminated in its entirety on January 7, 2021, and Messrs. Christodoro, Gary, Graziano, Lynn and Nelson resigned from the Board effective January 3, 2021.

Dr. Agwunobi iswas not determined independent because he isof his role as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.Officer during his time on the Board. Mr. Johnson has

Board meetings and attendance

 

 

The Board of Directors held eighteleven meetings during fiscal year 2021.2022. The independent directors generally meet in executive session at each regularly scheduled meeting, without the presence of management and non-independent directors, to discuss various matters relating to the Board’s function and Company oversight, including the Company’s management. The independent lead director, or the Lead Director, presides over such executive sessions.

Each director is expected to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to allow for the diligent performance of his or her duties, including attending the Company’s annual general meeting of the shareholders and meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of which he or she is a member. All incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all Board and applicable committee meetings held during the period that he or she served as a director, as well asdirector. All members of the Board attended the Company’s 20212022 annual general meeting of shareholders.

 

 

Board leadership

 

 

The Company’s governance framework provides the Board with the flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. The current leadership structure is comprised of a combined Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, an independent Lead Director, Board committees led by independent directors and active engagement by all directors. The Board believes this structure best serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board believes the combined Chair and CEO role supports the Board’s effective oversight of the Company’s business and strategy, with the CEO serving as a key link between the Board and management, providing a deep understanding of the Company’s business and operations, bringing key business considerations to the Board’s attention and leading implementation of the Company’s strategic plans as reviewed and approved by the Board. The Lead Director in turn allows for strong, independent Board leadership, with authority to set the meeting agendas and to lead sessions outside the Chair’s presence. We believe this to be a critical aspect of effective corporate governance.

The Lead Director is an independent director elected for a two-year term by the independent directors. The

appointment is evaluated biannually. The Lead Director chairs the Board meetings during executive sessions and when the Chair is unable to participate in Board meetings, and ismeetings. The Lead Director also serves as a contact point for major shareholders and third parties who wish to contact the

Board independent of the Chair and CEO. The responsibilities of the Lead Director include:

 

setting the agenda for and leading the regularly-held independent director sessions, and briefing the Chair on any issues arising from those sessions;

 

coordinating the activities of the independent directors;

 

presiding at meetings of the Board at which the Chair is not present, including executive sessions of the non-management and independent directors;
presiding at meetings of the Board at which the Chair is not present, including executive sessions of the non-management and independent directors;

advising on the flow of information sent to the Board, and reviewing the agendas, materials and schedules for Board meetings;

 

being available for consultation and communication with major shareholders, as appropriate;

maintaining close contact with the chair of each committee; and

 

performing other duties that the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.

Mr. LeFevre was elected to serve as Lead Director by the independent directors effective July 1, 2021, to serve until

the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Prior to such date, Ms. Otero served as the Lead Director, commencing January 3, 2021, when Mr. Nelson, the then-current Lead Director, resigned from the Board. The Board periodically reviews the structure of the Board and Company leadership as part of the succession planning process.

Compensation risk assessment

 

 

The compensation committee,Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, its compensation advisor, regularly conducts a review of the Company’s material compensation policies and practices applicable to its employees, including its executive officers. Based on this review, the compensation committeeCompensation Committee concluded that these policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Key features of the executive compensation

program that support this

conclusion include: the balanced mix between fixed and variable compensation and short- and long-term incentives; the use of multiple performance measures within incentive plans; strong internal controls, including a code of conduct; compensation committeeCompensation Committee discretion over all final annual incentive awards and active involvement in setting performance targets; the use of share ownership guidelines; and the existence of an anti-hedging policy.

Health and safety

One of our top priorities is the health and safety of our employees, distributors and customers. With respect to our employees, in response to, and during various phases of, the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken several actions, including supporting our employees to work from home when possible, offering mental wellness programs, and implementing the following safety measures at our U.S. facilities: required temperature screening, required face coverings, instituted social distancing protocols, enhanced robust cleaning and sanitation measures, and increased the filtration efficiency of existing ventilation systems. Earlier during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also offered incremental compensation to certain of our employees. Over the course of the pandemic, our senior management team has relied on cross-functional teams to monitor, review, and assess the evolving situation, and to recommend risk mitigation actions for the health and safety of our employees and, in the U.S., protocols to align

with all federal, state, and local public health guidelines. We believe our proactive efforts have been successful in supporting our business growth despite the obstacles and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With respect to our distributors, our distributor training and promotion events, such as our Success Training Seminars and our Leadership Development Weekends, have shifted to include “virtual” online approaches, with in-person events reinstituted during the fourth quarter of 2021 and continuing on a case-by-case basis as conditions allow. Promotional activities aimed at our distributors continue, though prizes that have involved travel to events have shifted in some cases to cash and other awards. Certain modified practices by us and our distributors may prove to be lasting improvements, such as events and trainings that are offered virtuallypolicy, as well as in-person, and expanded use of social media channels.

Proposals to be voted on at the

meeting

 

Proposal 1: The election of directors

 

Generally

The Articles presently provide for not less than one nor more than 15 directors. The Board of Directors has, by resolution, presently fixed the number of directors at 9,10, and there is currently a full complement of 910 members of the Board. There are 10 Board nominees recommended for election at the Annual Meeting. The number of directors will be increased to 10 if the 10 director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting. Directors are elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders to hold office for one-year terms until the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

The Board has nominated each of JohnMichael O. Agwunobi,Johnson, Richard H. Carmona, Michael O. Johnson,Celine Del Genes, Stephan Paulo Gratziani, Kevin M. Jones, Sophie L’Hélias, Alan W. LeFevre, Juan Miguel Mendoza, Don Mulligan and Maria Otero and John Tartol for election as directors to serve one-year terms expiring at the 20232024 annual general meeting. Considering his prior service with the Company as chair and chief executive officer, Mr. JohnsonGratziani was identified and recruitedrecommended by management and certain members of the nominatingBoard for consideration by the Nominating and corporate governance committee.Corporate Governance Committee, which then recommended to the full Board to include Mr. Gratziani on the slate of nominees of directors for election at the Meeting. Directors are elected under a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections (i.e., an election where the number of persons nominated for election does not exceed the number of directors to be elected). The election of directors at the Meeting constitutes an uncontested director election. Under a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections, each vote is required to be counted “for” or “against” a director nominee’s election. In order to be elected, the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election must exceed the number of votes cast “against” such nominee’s election. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

The persons named as proxies on the accompanying proxy card intend to vote the Common Shares as to which they are granted authority to vote for the election of the nominees listed herein. The form of proxy card does not permit shareholders to vote for a greater number of nominees than 10. Although the Board does not know of any reason why any nominee will be unavailable for election, in the event any nominee should be unavailable

at the time of the Meeting, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the Board of Directors or just for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy. Alternatively, the Board may reduce the size of the Board.

Director qualifications

The Board believes that the Board, as a whole, should possess a combination of skills, professional experience and diversity of backgrounds necessary to oversee the Company’s business.business and strategy. In addition, the Board believes that there are certain attributes that every director should possess, as reflected in the Board’s membership criteria discussed hereunder. Accordingly, the Board and the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition, as well as the Company’s current and future needs.

The nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending Board membership criteria to the Board for approval. TheThese criteria which are discussed in the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance, which are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.herbalife.com/corporate-governance,and include business experience and skills, independence, judgment, integrity, the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board activities and the absence of potential conflicts with the Company’s interests. In addition, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee periodically evaluates the composition of the Board to assess the skills and experience that are currently represented on the Board, as well as the skills and experiences that the Board will find valuable in the future, given the Company’s current needs and strategic plans. The nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee seeks a variety of occupational, educational and personal backgrounds on the Board in order to obtain a range of viewpoints and perspectives and to enhance the diversity of the Board as a group in areas including professional experience, geography, race, gender, ethnicity and age. This periodic assessment of the Board’s composition enables the Board to update the skills and experience it seeks in the Board as a whole, and in individual directors, as the Company’s needs evolve and change over time and to assess the effectiveness of efforts at pursuing diversity.

 

16  Proposals to be voted on at the meeting


In identifying and recruiting director candidates through a combination of internal referrals, from both management and members of the Board, and third-party executive search firms, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee may establish specific skills and experiences that it believes the Company should seek in order to constitute a balanced and effective Board.

In evaluating director candidates, and considering incumbent directors for re-nomination to the Board, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee considers a variety of factors. These include each nominee’s independence, financial literacy, personal and professional accomplishments and experience, each in light of the composition of the Board as a whole and the needs of the Company in general, and for incumbent directors, past performance on the Board. We believeThe Board believes that our director nominees represent an effective mix of skills, experiences, diversity and perspectives, including gender and ethnic/racial diversity.

Additionally, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee believes it is important that the viewpoints of independent distributors of Herbalife Nutrition products are represented on the Board. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, two independent distributors of Herbalife Nutrition products sit on the Board: Messrs. Mendoza and Tartol.

The nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders under the same criteria and processes outlined above.

Proposal 2: Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers

 

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is seeking an advisory shareholder vote on the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure, in this Proxy Statement.

Our executive compensation program is designed to pay for performance and to attract and retain an accomplished executive team to lead the Company’s global success selling nutrition products that are regulated at varying levels in the 95 markets where we operate.growth and success. The executive compensation program places strong emphasis on actions that create long-term sustainable growth and enhanced value for our shareholders through an annual equity grant program that providesrewards executives with the ability to participate in our share price appreciation and to share equally in potential downside if key targets that drive shareholdershare value arecreation is not achieved. By encouraging long-term performance and enhanced shareholder value, our executives are encouragedincentivized to operate our business with integrity, focusing on fostering strategic growth while being mindful to mitigate against risk. In addition to emphasizing long-term growth, our compensation program attracts talented executives by offering a competitive base salary and annual cash incentives, which promote retention and encourage our executives to achieve short-termannual financial goals.

At our 20212022 annual general meeting of shareholders, our shareholders expressed continued support of our executive compensation program, with approximately 85%87.8% of votes cast in favor of the advisory vote proposal.1 When designing our 20212022 executive compensation program, the compensation committeeCompensation Committee of the Board of Directors, or the Committee, considered, among other things, the Company’s overall financial performance and growth, profitparticular financial and non-financial

objectives, benchmarking against market

practices, the Company’s financial performance, incentives that reward shareholder value creation, and any shareholder feedback.

We believe that the Company’s financial performance is facilitated by the “pay for performance” design of our compensation program. Our program motivates our executives to deliver financial results, with the appropriate level of risk-taking, against performance metrics in a manner that ultimately aligns with the realized growth of shareholder equity value.

Additional information regarding the Company’s compensation program applicable to the named executive officers is described in Part 4 — “Compensation discussion and analysis” and the related tables and narrative disclosure. For the reasons discussed above, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K and described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure, in the proxy statement.”

While the shareholder vote on the resolution is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions that shareholders express in their votes and in any additional dialogue. ItThe Board will consider the outcome of the vote and those opinions when making future compensation decisions. The next shareholder advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation is expected to occur at the 20232024 annual general meeting of shareholders.

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION.

1 The support of our executive compensation program was approximately 76.4% if “abstention” votes are considered votes.

 

Proposals to be voted on at the meeting   2325 


Proposal 3: RatificationAdvise as to the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on compensation of the appointmentCompany’s named executive officers

In proposal 2 above, we are asking shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution on executive compensation. As part of independent registered public accounting firmthe Board of Director’s commitment to excellence and pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, in this proposal 3 the Company is asking shareholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation should occur every 1, 2 or 3 years.

After careful consideration, the Board has determined that continuing to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year is the most appropriate policy for the Company, and recommends that shareholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every year. While the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance, the Board recognizes that compensation disclosures are made annually. Continuing to hold an annual advisory vote on executive compensation would continue the established practice of shareholders providing the Company with more direct and immediate feedback on those compensation disclosures. However, shareholders should note that because the advisory vote on executive

compensation occurs well after the beginning of the compensation year, and because the different elements of our executive compensation programs are designed to operate in an integrated manner and to complement one another, in many cases it may not be appropriate or feasible to change our executive compensation by the time of the following year’s annual general meeting of shareholders.

Please mark on the proxy card your preference as to the frequency of holding “Say-on-Pay” shareholder advisory votes as either every 1 year, every 2 years, or every 3 years or mark “abstain.” You are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Directors’ recommendation on this item.

While the result of this advisory vote on the frequency of the vote on executive compensation is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions that shareholders express in their votes and in any additional dialogue. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and those opinions when deciding how frequently to conduct the vote on executive compensation.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR “1 YEAR” AS TO THE FREQUENCY OF SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Proposal 4: Approve, as a special resolution, the name change of the Company from “Herbalife Nutrition Ltd.” to “Herbalife Ltd.”

 

 

The auditCompany’s Board of Directors is recommending to shareholders to pass the following resolution:

“It is resolved, that, as a special resolution, the name of the Company is changed from “Herbalife Nutrition Ltd.” to “Herbalife Ltd.”

If this proposal is approved by the shareholders, the name change will be effective as of the date of the Meeting, or April 26, 2023. Subsequent to the name change, the Company will not change its trading symbol on the NYSE and the Common Shares will continue to trade on the NYSE.

The Board of Directors determined that, with the Company’s global reach and the growing field of health and wellness innovation, it would be in the Company’s best interest to change the Company’s name from “Herbalife Nutrition” to “Herbalife” to better align the name with the Company’s expanding business strategy and operation to reach beyond nutritional categories of weight management, targeted nutrition, and energy, sports and fitness products. The Board of Directors, together with management, believes that the proposed name change would allow the Company to better represent our business strategy to distributors, customers, business partners, and the investment community to

be the premier health and wellness company and community.

Under the Articles and Cayman Islands Law, the affirmative vote of not less than 66.67% of the Common Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, and which do vote, must approve a change to the Company’s name.

The change of name will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of share certificates outstanding at the time of the name change, our capital structure or the trading of the Common Shares on the NYSE.

Following the date of the Meeting, shareholders should continue to hold their existing share certificates regardless of whether the shareholders approve this proposal 4 to change the Company’s name. Shareholders should not destroy any share certificates and should not deliver any share certificates to the transfer agent or take any other action with respect to their Common Shares solely as a result of this proposal. If the name change is approved by shareholders at the Meeting, uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts and any new share certificates that are issued after the name change becomes effective will bear the name “HERBALIFE LTD.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY FROM “HERBALIFE NUTRITION LTD.” TO “HERBALIFE LTD.”

Proposals to be voted on at the meeting27


Proposal 5: Approve the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan

On February 7, 2023, the Board of Directors approved and recommended for submission to the shareholders for their adoption the Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2023 Plan. The majority of shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and which do vote is required for adoption.

The Board believes that the adoption of the 2023 Plan is desirable because it will promote and closely align the interests of employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its shareholders by providing the ability for the Company to award stock-based compensation and other performance-based compensation. The Board believes the 2023 Plan promotes the Company’s ability to drive performance, which the Board believes enhances long-term shareholder value; increases employee stock ownership; and enables the Company to attract and retain outstanding employees, directors and consultants.

If the 2023 Plan is approved by our shareholders, it will become effective on April 26, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), and no further awards will be granted under the Herbalife Ltd. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) after the Effective Date.

A maximum of 8,500,000 Common Shares plus (i) any Common Shares that remained available for issuance under the Company’s 2014 Plan as of the Effective Date and (ii) any Common Shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan as of the Effective Date that after such date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares), subject to adjustments as described below, will be available for grants of awards under the 2023 Plan. As of December 31, 2022, the number of Common Shares that remained available for issuance under the 2014 Plan was approximately 2.6 million and the number of Common Shares subject to outstanding awards was approximately 4.6 million. As of December 31, 2022, the maximum potential dilution from the approximately 11.1 million shares available under the 2023 Plan would not have

exceeded 10.6% of fully diluted Common Shares then outstanding. However, taking into account the fungible share counting formula described below, if all of the awards under the 2023 Plan were granted as full value awards (rather than options or SARs), the number of shares subject to such full value awards would only be approximately 6.0 million shares representing approximately 5.7% of fully diluted Common Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The Board believes that the number of Common Shares available under the 2023 Plan represents a reasonable amount of potential equity dilution in light of the purposes of the 2023 Plan as described above. Taking into account the Company’s historic and anticipated mix of equity awards, it is anticipated that the shares available under the 2023 Plan will meet the Company’s needs for up to two years, depending on the Company’s stock price performance over the period. Assuming the Company’s shareholders approve the 2023 Plan at the Meeting, the Company will file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the Common Shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The following summary of the 2023 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2023 Plan as set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. You should read the complete text of the 2023 Plan for more details regarding the operation of the 2023 Plan.

Information Regarding Grants Made under 2014 Plan

Common Share Price. As of February 24, 2023, the closing price of a Common Share on the NYSE was $19.48.

Information on Outstanding Equity Awards; Overhang. Overhang is equal to the number of equity awards outstanding plus the total number of Common Shares available for grant under the Company’s equity plan, divided by the sum of the total Common Shares outstanding, the number of equity awards outstanding and the total number of shares available for grant under the Company’s equity plan. Our overhang as of December 31, 2022 was 9.4%.

Information regarding awards outstanding as of December 31, 2022 under the 2014 Plan is summarized in the following table:

Key Features of the 2023 Plan

Limitation on shares requested. The maximum number of Common Shares available for grant under the 2023 Plan is 8,500,000 Common Shares, plus any Common Shares that remained available for issuance as of the Effective Date under, or were subject to, outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan as of the Effective Date, that after such date are canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under the 2014 Plan or settled in cash, in each case adjusted as described in the 2023 Plan.

Limitation on term of stock option and SAR grants. The term of each stock option or SAR will not exceed ten years.

Fungible share counting formula. Common Shares issued pursuant to stock options and SARs will count against the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan on a one-for-one basis, whereas each Common Share issued pursuant to all other awards will count against the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan as 1.85 shares. Accordingly, Common Shares issued pursuant to all awards (other than stock options or SARs) will lower the potential dilutive effect on the overall Common Shares available for grant under the 2023 Plan.

Limitation on share recycling. Common Shares surrendered for the payment of the exercise price of stock options or SARs, Common Shares subject to SARs not issued upon net settlement of such awards, Common Shares withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes related to awards, and Common Shares repurchased on the open market with the cash proceeds of an option exercise, may not again be made available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.

No repricing or grant of discounted stock options or SARs. Under the 2023 Plan, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization, the Company will not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a stock option or SAR and, at any time

when the exercise price of a stock option or SAR is above the fair market value of a Common Share, the Company will not, without shareholder approval (except in the case of a change in control), exchange such stock option or SAR for a new award or for cash. The 2023 Plan prohibits the granting of stock options or SARs with an exercise price less than the fair market value of a Common Share on the date of grant.

No evergreen provision. There is no “evergreen” feature that permits any increase in the number of Common Shares authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan without shareholder approval.

Minimum Vesting Requirement. All awards granted under the 2023 Plan are subject to a minimum vesting requirement such that no portion of any such award will be permitted to vest until at least one year after the date of grant thereof, except in the event of death or disability of the participant or in connection with a change in control; provided that up to 5% of the aggregate number of Common Shares authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan may be issued pursuant to awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions as our Compensation Committee deems appropriate, and awards to non-employee directors may vest in less than one year and not count against the 5% pool.

Non-Employee Director Limits. The aggregate number of Common Shares subject to awards granted under the 2023 Plan during any calendar year to any one non-employee director will not exceed that number of Common Shares having a fair market value on the date of grant of $375,000; provided, however, that in the calendar year in which a non-employee director first joins the Board of Directors or is first designated as Chairman of the Board or Lead Director, the maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted to such non-employee director may be up to two hundred percent (200%) of the number of Common Shares indicated by the foregoing limit.

Proposals to be voted on at the meeting29


Description of the 2023 Plan

The material features of the 2023 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed 2023 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. You should read the complete text of the proposed 2023 Plan for more details regarding its operation.

Eligibility. Our members of the Board, employees (including executive officers) and consultants, and the employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan. As of February 24, 2023, we had 9 non-employee directors, approximately 10,000 employees and 1 consultant that were eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan. As a matter of practice, we limit plan participation among our employees to those who are director-level and above, and dramatically limit the participation of consultants.

Administration. The 2023 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or such other committee as designated by the Board, or the Committee. The Committee may grant awards to eligible persons and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may delegate to (i) one or more subcommittees consisting of one or more directors and/or officers of the Company any of the authority of the Committee under the 2023 Plan or (ii) one or more officers, the right to grant awards in accordance with the terms of the 2023 Plan. The Committee may further designate or delegate to one or more additional officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary, and/or to one or more agents, authority to assist the Committee in any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the 2023 Plan and/or of the awards granted under the 2023 Plan. The Committee has broad authority, as stated in the 2023 Plan, to interpret and administer the 2023 Plan and related agreements and documents and to take various other actions with respect thereto.

Common shares available under the 2023 Plan

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2023 Plan, the number of Common Shares subject to grants under the 2023 Plan will not exceed in the aggregate:

8,500,000 Common Shares,

any Common Shares that remained available for issuance under the 2014 Plan as of the Effective Date, and

any Common Shares that were subject to outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan as of the Effective Date that are subsequently canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under the 2014 Plan or are settled in cash (such Common Shares to be added to the number of Common Shares issuable under the 2023 Plan as one Common Share if such Common Shares

were subject to stock options or SARs under the 2014 Plan and as 1.85 Common Shares if such Common Shares were subject to awards other than options or SARs under the 2014 Plan).

These share authorizations are affected by various provisions in the 2023 Plan, as discussed below under “Share counting” and “Other provisions — Adjustments.” The Common Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2023 Plan may be authorized and unissued Common Shares or Common Shares that were reacquired by the Company, including Common Shares purchased in the open market, or a combination of the foregoing.

Share counting

Under the 2023 Plan, each Common Share that is subject to a stock option or SAR counts against the aggregate Plan limit as one Common Share, and each Common Share that is subject to an award other than a stock option or SAR under the 2023 Plan counts against the aggregate 2023 Plan limit as 1.85 Common Shares. Accordingly, under the 2023 Plan, while stock options or SARs could potentially be granted with respect to approximately 11.1 million shares, only approximately 6.0 million shares could be subject to full value awards granted under the 2023 Plan as a result of this share counting formula. For each Common Share subject to an award that is cancelled, forfeited, expires or is settled for cash (in whole or in part) under the 2023 Plan, one Common Share will be added back to the aggregate 2023 Plan limit for such Common Shares subject to a stock option or SAR, and 1.85 Common Shares will be added back to the aggregate 2023 Plan limit for such Common Shares subject to an award other than a stock option or SAR. The number of Common Shares available for grant under the 2023 Plan will not be increased by the following:

any Common Shares tendered by a participant or withheld by the Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price of stock options or the full or partial satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation on any award under either the 2023 Plan or the 2014 Plan;

any Common Shares subject to a SAR granted under either the 2023 Plan or the 2014 Plan that is not issued when the SAR is exercised and settled in Common Shares; and

any Common Shares repurchased by the Company on the open market using cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options granted either under the 2023 Plan or the 2014 Plan.

Common Shares issued as substitution awards (as defined in the 2023 Plan) in connection with any merger with or acquisition of a company will not decrease the number of Common Shares available for grant under the 2023 Plan, but Common Shares subject to substitution awards will not be available for further awards under the 2023 Plan if the substitution awards are forfeited, expire or settled in cash.

30Proposals to be voted on at the meeting


Repricing prohibited

Under the 2023 Plan, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization, the Company will not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a stock option or SAR and, at any time when the exercise price of a stock option or SAR is above the fair market value of a Common Share, the Company will not, without shareholder approval (except in the case of a change in control), exchange such stock option or SAR for a new award or for cash. However, the foregoing provision does not apply in connection with an adjustment involving a corporate transaction or event as provided in the 2023 Plan.

Types of awards authorized under the 2023 Plan

Stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Committee may award stock options, in the form of nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options, or SARs, each with a maximum term of ten years. The Committee will establish the vesting schedule for stock options and SARs and the method of payment for the exercise price, which may include cash, Common Shares, or other awards.

Restricted stock and stock units. The Committee may award restricted stock and restricted stock units and establish the applicable restrictions, including any limitation on voting rights or the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents. Generally, the Committee will establish the manner and timing under which restrictions may lapse. The Committee may decide to include dividends or dividend equivalents as part of an award of restricted stock or stock units and may accrue dividends or dividend equivalents, as applicable, with or without interest, until the award is paid. However, in no event will dividends or dividend equivalents be paid with respect to unvested or unearned restricted stock or stock unit awards.

Incentive bonuses. The Committee may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the amount payable under an incentive bonus. Payment of the amount due under an incentive bonus may be denominated in cash or shares as determined by the Committee. Performance criteria mean any measures, as determined by the Committee, which may be used to measure the level of performance of the Company or a participant during a performance period.

Performance criteria

The Committee may determine that awards under the 2023 Plan will be subject to performance-based vesting criteria. The performance criteria will be one or more of the following performance criteria, or derivations of such

performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total shareholder return, (vi) return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on assets or net assets, (viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) revenue (including adjusted revenue, Volume Points, net sales and analogous financial measures), (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income, (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii) cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue, (xx) customer service or (xxi) any other measures of performance as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee may provide that any evaluation of performance under a performance criteria shall include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during the applicable performance period: (a) the effects of charges for restructurings or discontinued operations, (b) items of gain, loss or expense determined to be infrequently occurring or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principle, (c) the cumulative effect of accounting change, (d) asset write-downs, (e) litigation, claims, judgments, settlements or loss contingencies, (f) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (g) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (h) accruals of any amounts for payment under the 2023 Plan or any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Company.

Other provisions

Limitations on transfer. Awards are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution unless determined otherwise by the Committee. Awards may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered.

Amendments. The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the 2023 Plan from time to time subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders if required by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the NYSE. The Committee may waive conditions or amend the term of awards, or otherwise amend or suspend awards already granted subject to certain conditions.

Proposals to be voted on at the meeting31


Adjustments. In the event of certain corporate transaction or events affecting the number or type of outstanding Common Shares, including, for example, a dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, shares or stock), recapitalization, stock or share split, reverse stock or share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares or issuance of warrants, the Committee will make adjustments as it deems appropriate. These adjustments include changing the number and type of shares to be issued under the 2023 Plan and outstanding awards; changing the per-participant limitations on awards and the grant, purchase or exercise price of outstanding awards; and changing the limitations on the total amount of restricted stock, stock units, performance awards or other share- or stock-based award that may be granted. The Committee may also make adjustments in the terms of awards in connection with certain acquisitions, and make adjustments in performance award criteria or in the terms and conditions of other awards in recognition of infrequently occurring events affecting the Company or its financial statements or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an award agreement or another contract, including an employment agreement, or under the terms of a transaction constituting a change in control, the following will occur upon a participant’s involuntary termination of employment within twenty-four months following a change in control, provided that such termination does not result from the participant’s termination for disability, cause or gross misconduct: (i) in the case of a stock option or SAR, the participant will have the ability to exercise such stock option or SAR, including any portion of the stock option or SAR not previously exercisable, and the stock option or SAR will remain exercisable for a period of three years following such termination, but in no event after the expiration of such stock option or SAR, (ii) in the case of an award subject to performance conditions in accordance with the 2023 Plan, the participant will have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee prior to the change in control (unless such performance cannot be determined, in which case the participant will have the right to receive a payment equal to the target amount payable), and (iii) in the case of outstanding restricted stock and/or stock units, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such award will immediately lapse.

In the event of a change in control in which the acquiring or surviving company in the transaction does not assume or continue outstanding awards upon the change in control, immediately prior to the change in control, all awards that are not assumed or continued will be treated as follows effective immediately prior to the change in

control: (i) in the case of a stock option or SAR, the participant will have the ability to exercise such stock option or SAR, including any portion of the stock option or SAR not previously exercisable (provided, that any stock option or SAR for which the exercise price is less than the consideration per Common Share payable to shareholders of the Company in such change in control may be cancelled upon the consummation of the change performance conditions in accordance with the 2023 Plan, the participant will have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee prior to the change in control (unless such performance cannot be determined, in which case the participant will have the right to receive a payment equal to the target amount payable), and (iii) in the case of outstanding restricted stock and/or stock units, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such award will immediately lapse.

Federal income tax consequences

This general discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of stock options and other awards that may be awarded under the 2023 Plan is intended for the information of shareholders considering how to vote with respect to this proposal and not as tax guidance to participants in the 2023 Plan. Different tax rules may apply to specific participants and transactions under the 2023 Plan, particularly in jurisdictions outside the United States. In addition, this discussion does not address other federal or state tax issues that may be implicated by awards that may be granted under the 2023 Plan.

SARs. No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of SARs. The participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the SAR is exercised, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying Common Shares on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR, and the participant will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant in connection with the exercise of the SAR.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant will have no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, except that the alternative minimum tax may apply. Unless there is a disqualifying disposition, as described below, the participant will recognize long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased Common Shares over (ii) the exercise price paid for the Common Shares. A disqualifying disposition occurs if the disposition is less than two years after the date of grant or less than one year after the exercise date. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the Common

32Proposals to be voted on at the meeting


Shares, then the excess of (a) the fair market value of those Common Shares on the exercise date or (if less) the amount realized upon such sale or disposition over (b) the exercise price paid for the Common Shares will be taxable as ordinary income to the participant. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon the disposition will be a capital gain or loss.

If the participant makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased Common Shares, then the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs equal to the amount or ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of the disposition. The Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction if the participant makes a qualifying disposition of the Common Shares.

Nonqualified Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by the participant upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option. Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, a participant generally must recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares acquired minus the exercise price. The Company generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to the exercised nonqualified stock option.

Restricted Stock. A participant who receives a restricted stock award will not recognize any taxable income at the time those Common Shares are issued but will recognize ordinary income as and when those Common Shares subsequently vest, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the Common Shares on the vesting date over (ii) the cash consideration (if any) paid for the Common Shares. The participant may, however, elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or

the Code, to include as ordinary income in the year the unvested Common Shares are issued an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of those Common Shares on the issue date over (b) the cash consideration (if any) paid for such Common Shares. If the Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional income as and when the shares subsequently vest. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to the restricted stock award at the time such ordinary income is recognized by the participant.

RSUs and Other Incentive Awards. No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of RSUs and other incentive awards. The participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the Common Shares subject to the award are actually issued or in the year in which the award is settled in cash. The amount of that income will be equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of issuance or the amount of cash paid in settlement of the award, and the participant will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to the income. The Company generally will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant at the time the Common Shares are issued or the cash amount is paid.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits the Company’s ability to obtain tax deductions for compensation (including under the 2023 Plan) in excess of $1.0 million in any taxable year paid to certain “covered employees.” Covered employees will generally include any executive officer whose compensation was required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual proxy statement for any fiscal year after 2016.

Proposals to be voted on at the meeting33


Proposal 6: Ratification, on an advisory basis, of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm

The Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.2023. Services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries by PwC in fiscal years 20212022 and 20202021 are described below under “Fees to independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal years 20212022 and 2020”.2021.” Additional information regarding the audit committeeAudit Committee is set forth in the “Audit committee report”.Committee Report.”

The Articles do not require that our shareholders ratify the selection of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, we are requesting ratification because we believe it is a matter of good corporate practice. If the Company’s shareholders do not ratify the selection, the audit committeeAudit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PwC, but may, nonetheless, retain PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committeeAudit Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time if it determines that the change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Representatives of PwC are expected to attend the Meeting where they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Compensation program that aligns pay and performance

Our executive compensation program is designed to pay for performance and to attract and retain an accomplished executive team to lead the Company’s global success selling nutrition products. The compensation program places strong emphasis on actions that create long-term sustainable growth and enhanced value for our shareholders through an annual equity grant program that rewards executives with the ability to participate in our share price appreciation and to share equally in potential downside if key targets that drive shareholder value arecreation is not achieved. By encouraging long-term performance and enhanced shareholder value, our executives are incentivized to operate our business with integrity, focusing on fostering strategic growth while being mindful to mitigate against risk. In addition to emphasizing long-term growth, our compensation program attracts talented executives by offering a competitive base salary and annual cash incentives, which encourage our executives to achieve annual financial goals. The Committee has the responsibility for establishing, developing and implementing these programs while ensuring against excessive level of risk-taking by the Company’s executives.

The direct compensation of our NEOs in 20212022 consisted of base salary, annual cash incentives, and grants of equity in

the form of performance share units, or PSUs, and time-vestingtime-

vesting restricted share units, or RSUs.RSUs, and, in the case of Mr. Johnson in December 2022, stock appreciation rights, or SARs. To create and reinforce a “pay for performance” philosophy and culture and increase alignment with the expectations of investors in the Company, the annual cash incentives and equity components of compensation comprise the vast majority of the total compensation of our NEOs. In setting target total compensation, the Committee annually reviews and assesses the total compensation opportunity for each NEO primarily against that of comparable executives within the list of comparator companies selected by the Committee to serve as a market benchmark, along with other comparative factors such as scope and responsibilities of a given executive role. Although there is no targeted mix of compensation elements, the proportion of compensation designed to be delivered in variable pay versus base salaryfixed pay increases with the ability of the executive to influence overall Company performance.

For 2021,2022, the percentage of targeted direct compensation provided in the form of annual and long-term incentives tied to the Company’s performance was between 64%79% to 85%100% for our NEOs who were executive officers as of December 31, 2021.2022. As reflected under the “2021“2022 summary compensation table”, actual compensation paid provided in the form of such incentives was between 66%77% to 86%100% of total compensation for NEOs who were executive officers as of December 31, 2021.2022.*

GrantsOther than Mr. Johnson, who became an executive officer in October 2022 and received separate equity grants as described below, annual grants made in February 2022 to our executive officersNEOs pursuant to our long-term incentive program generally consistconsisted of PSUs (~75% of equity value) and RSUs (~25% of equity value). With this allocation of equity awards, the Company’s executive compensation program retainsretained its most effective feature, its direct emphasis on multi-year performance. This aligns executive pay with the Company’s sustained performance over several years, while also aligning the interests of NEOs with our shareholders through share ownership.

The NEOs each received PSUs In addition to such annual grants, in consideration of executive retention, the Company granted additional RSUs to Messrs. Amezquita, Lamberti, Levy, Schissel and RSUsWang in February 2021 as partDecember 2022, which will vest 100% two years from grant date.

During periods of their long-term incentive award granted instable macroeconomic trends when the ordinary course. Mr. Amezquita received an additional equity grant of 25% RSUs and 75% PSUs in March 2021 as part of a subsequent adjustment following his transition to CFO in November 2020, and Mr. Schissel received an additional equity grant of 100% PSUs when he transitioned toCompany provides financial guidance, the Chief Operating Officer role and the executive team in August 2021.

28Executive compensation


The use of PSUs accomplishesfor the annual grants in 2022 accomplish the following goals:

 

increase alignment of equity compensation with shareholder value;

 

reward management for accelerating the Company’s growth;

align executives with long-term interests of all stakeholders through share ownership (provided the PSUs are earned);

 

broaden performance focus and accountability of our NEOs; and

 

require sustained operating performance for PSUs to be earned.

In October 2022, Mr. Johnson returned as the Company’s Chairman and interim Chief Executive Officer, and in December 2022, the “interim” designation was removed and Mr. Johnson became the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with completion of his employment agreement as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on December 22, 2022, Mr. Johnson received $1.00 in annual salary and an equity award having a grant date fair value equal to $10,000,000, of which 50% was granted in the form of RSUs and 50% was granted in the form of SARs.

In 2023, the Committee determined to eliminate PSUs entirely from the design of our long-term executive incentive program for 2023, in line with Mr. Johnson’s December 2022 equity grants. In 2023, grants to executives pursuant to our long-term incentive program are expected to consist of SARs (75%) and time-vesting RSUs (25%), each of which will vest in three equal annual tranches on the grant date anniversary. The Committee made this change in response to the rapidly shifting macroeconomic sentiment and backdrop, as well as increased volatility in the marketplace, including global inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors, which make it difficult to reasonably estimate future performance and set PSU performance targets. As a result, to align the executives’ incentives with the interests of shareholders, the performance will be measured through the appreciation of share price over multiple years through this equity mix.

 

Executive compensation39


Additionally, our executive compensation program includes the following practices and policies, which we believe reinforce our executive compensation philosophy and objectives that are aligned with the interests of our shareholders:

 

Things we do  Things we don’t do

Our executive compensation program is simple in design and follows guidelines that have repeatedly proven effective in creating a “pay for performance” culture and a keen focus on profitability, as well as retaining key executives. These guidelines include:

 

  linking a significant majority of the incentive opportunity available to our NEOs to long-term growth in stakeholder value;

 

  incorporating performance measures related to creating stakeholder value to trigger the vesting of annual PSU equity awards for all NEOs;

  designing annual incentive awards that only vest toare aligned with the extent key financial performance goals of profitable and efficient business growth are achieved;share value appreciation;

 

  imposing caps on awards payable to each NEO under our annual incentive plan;

 

  annually reviewing current public data regarding the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group when compensation decisions are made;

 

  adopting compensation “clawbacks” that apply to our Section 16 officers in the event of a financial misstatement per the Company’s clawback policy; and

 

  encouraging our NEOs to hold Common Shares with an aggregate value equal to five times base salary for our CEO, or two times base salary for our other NEOs, to align interests with the long-term interests of all stakeholders.

  

The Committee is committed to maintaining and adopting prevailing best practices with regard to executive compensation. As such, we DO NOT DO the following:

 

  we do not guarantee our executives any annual incentive award amounts — all annual bonuses require financial performance against annually established goals as established by the Committee;

 

  we do not re-price or back-date equity awards;

 

  we do not issue equity awards with below market exercise prices;

 

  we do not provide supplemental retirement benefits;

 

  we do not provide excise tax gross ups to our NEOs;

 

  we do not encourage excessive or imprudent risk-taking;

  we do not provide perquisites to executive officers that are not provided to other employees, other than the spousal travel reimbursement; and

 

  we do not permit employees to hedge, pledge, short sell or engage in derivative transactions of our Common Shares.

Say on pay

 

At our 20212022 annual general meeting of shareholders, excluding “abstention” votes, our shareholders demonstrated their continued support of our executive compensation program, with approximately 85%87.8% of votes cast in favor of the advisory “say on pay” vote proposal.1 We believe this vote reflects continued support for our executive compensation program structure, which focuses on optimizing (a) incentives and metrics that result in the greatest degree of alignment with all stakeholder interests, and (b) recruitment, engagement, motivation and retention of executives. Additionally,

through our meetings with shareholders, our

investors expressed continued support for our executive compensation program. Accordingly, no changes were made to our executive compensation program in response to the 2021 2022 say-on-pay vote. We continue to consider the results from our advisory votes on executive compensation, as well as feedback received throughout the year, and evaluate our program to find ways we can further align management incentives with the interests of our shareholders, our distributors and our employees, which we view to be essential to our long-term success.

Executive compensation program objectives

As a global nutrition business, we operate in an environment of challenging regulatory, economic and geopolitical uncertainty. We manufactured approximately 60%51% of our own inner nutrition products that were sold worldwide, and generated approximately 76%77% of our net sales outside the United States for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Our continued success depends on the leadership of a highly talented, adaptive and dedicated executive team. Our executive compensation program provides competitive rewards to our NEOs who contribute to our annual success in achieving growth in revenues and profitability, creating and growing a global network that provides customers with personalized nutrition solutions, as well as making strategic decisions that should lead to increasing returns to stakeholders over time.

The Committee believes that stakeholder interests are advanced when the Company assembles, motivates and rewards a high-performing management team. To promote this objective, the Committee developed its executive compensation program guided by a “pay for performance” organizing framework and the resulting underlying principles listed below:

 

Principle

 

Implication on HLF Program

 

Rationale

 

Alignment of Executives’ and Long-Term Shareholders’ Interests. Long-term incentives should be provided in Company equity, where allowed by local law, to encourage executives to plan and act with the perspective of shareholders and with the Company’s vision, mission and values in mind, and be rewarded for the successful implementation of our growth strategies.

 

 

•  In 2021,2022, annual grants of long-term incentive awards granted to NEOs in February consisted of 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs. The Company additionally granted RSUs other thanto certain executives in December 2022.

•  In late 2022, Mr. Schissel’s promotional grant,Johnson returned as described below.the Company’s Chairman and CEO and was granted 50% SARs and 50% RSUs in December 2022.

•  In 2023, long-term incentive awards to be granted to NEOs will consist of 75% SARs and 25% RSUs.

 

•  The Company has competitive share ownership guidelines.

 

•  Equity grants in the forms of PSUs, RSUs and RSUsSARs align executive rewards with the Company’s sustained long-term performance and shareholder value creation.creation as reflected by share price appreciation.

 

•  Encouraging equity ownership further aligns executives with sustained performance and shareholder value.

Pay for Superior Performance. Incentive compensation must provide superior pay for superior performance that meets or exceeds the expectations of our shareholders.

 

•  Superior performance expectations are built into performance targets and ranges of our incentive plans such that when incentive targets are met, the Company is exceeding peer financial performance and meeting shareholder expectations.

 

•  OurIn addition to occasional retention awards to recruit and retain high-performing and highly employable executives, our incentive plans are calibrated to deliver above-median compensation for meeting superior performance targets, and, in the case of PSUs, deriving value through increased shareholder value.achieving performance targets, while in the case of SARs, through share price appreciation.

 

 

•  The only way for our executives to earn above-target compensation is by exceeding financial goals and non-financial goals.share price appreciation.

Principle

Implication on HLF ProgramRationale

Balanced Incentives to Promote Sustainable Value-Creation. Incentive compensation should reflect a balanced time horizon between annual and long-term performance in order to promote sustainable growth in the value of the enterprise.

 

•  Annual incentive is paid in cash, based on achievement of annual financial performance targets.

 

•  PSUs awarded in 20212022 are earned based on achievement of the following two metrics over a performance period from January 1, 20212022 to December 31, 2023:2024: Local Currency Net Sales and Adjusted EBIT.

•  SARs demonstrate our pay for performance commitment by aligning executive incentives with long-term shareholder interest and share price appreciation and have a ten-year term and a vesting schedule over three years, which over that time derive value only from share price appreciation.

 

 

•  A mix of cash and equity compensation is a competitive practice.

 

•  Paying a mix of cash and equity based on a “portfolio” of equity vehicles and performance metrics also helps balance risk within the pay program.

•  75% of our typical annual long-term incentives awarded in 20212022 to our executives were performance-based and 25% were time-vesting equity.equity, other than special retention awards to certain NEOs and grants to Mr. Johnson in December 2022.

 

•  Value of PSUs and SARs align with sustained long-term shareholder value and vesting requires achievement of performance goals that support our business.

 

 

•  Annual and long-term incentive plans use growth, objectivesprofit, and profit objectives.share price performance as measures. These plans are forward-looking and backward-looking, to provide ensure a comprehensive set of metrics are used to consider overall performance of the Company and our executive team.

Attract and Retain Talented Executives. The program must attract and encourage a long-term commitment from talented executives necessary to lead our global nutrition business and advance stakeholders’ interests in a manner consistent with our company value of operating with integrity and transparency.

•  Strong emphasis on long-term incentives and shareholder value creation.

•  Performance considerations reflect the Company’s values and strategy and an appropriate balance of risk and reward reflective of stakeholder interests.

•  Focus on long-term performance and shareholder value helps mitigate risk and encourages growth.

•  Operating with integrity and transparency is a key corporate value that is central to how we conduct our business and is reflective of our focus on all stakeholders.

Competitive Pay Opportunities. Compensation opportunities must be competitive with the pay practices of companies that operate in global markets and enable us to attract and retain high-performing, highly employable executive talent with similar executive skills and capabilities.

 

•  Peer group reflects the market in which we reasonably compete for executive talent.

 

•  We reference both proxy-sourced market data from our peer group as well as general industry survey data from nationally recognized compensation surveys.

 

•  The Committee’s independent advisor provides the Committee with the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles of market data to understand the scope of the market, with target compensation for top executives positioned relative to market references based on a variety of factors, including individual performance, internal equity, succession planning and business strategy.

 

•  Overall, our executives are within a competitive range of market, with appropriate variance based on incumbent-specific characteristics.

 

•  The Company recruits high-performing executives with known track records in competitive, complex and global businesses.

 

•  To attract the talent the Company needs to lead its business, compensation opportunities must be attractive relative to similar opportunities at our peers.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation and benefits program for our NEOs generally consists of and is designed to achieve the following:

 

  Direct Compensation

 

Purpose

  Base salary 

Provide a competitive foundation for total compensation to each executive that reflects job scope and responsibilities, demonstrated sustained performance, capabilities and experience.

 

  Annual cash incentives 

Reward NEOs for the achievement of challenging annual financial targets that drive growth in shareholder value.

 

  Long-term equity-based incentives

  (PSUs and RSUs)

 

Provide incentives for NEOs to develop strategic plans, and make tactical decisions that will enhance stakeholder value, reward NEOs with participation in the creation of sustained long-term shareholder value and encourage successful NEOs to remain with the Company.

 

   Indirect Compensation (benefits)

 Purpose
  Retirement benefits 

Encourage NEOs to build retirement resources by providing a match on deferred compensation in the Company’s 401(k) plan and Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

  Life insurance benefits 

Provide a competitive benefit in the event of death of an executive.

 

  Severance benefits 

Enable each NEO to focus his full time and attention on meeting the financial and operating objectives set by the Committee without fear of the financial consequences of an unexpected termination of employment.

 

  Change in control benefits 

Enable NEOs to focus on shareholder interests when considering strategic alternatives.

 

Establishing CEO compensation

The Chair of the Committee, with input from the independent compensation advisor, recommends the CEO’s compensation to the Committee in an executive session not attended by the CEO. Once a recommendation has been established by the Committee, the CEO’s compensation is reviewed with, and approved by, the independent members of the Board in an executive session not attended by the CEO or any non-independent members of the Board.

Role of executive officers in executive compensation decisions

The CEO reviews compensation data gathered from a group of peer companies approved by the Committee and described on page 4153 under “Peer Group”, or the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group, and, along with general industry compensation surveys, considers each executive officer’s performance and scope of responsibility, and makes a recommendation to the Committee on changes to base salary, annual incentive awards and equity awards for each executive officer other than himself. The CEO participates in Committee meetings at the Committee’s request to provide relevant background information regarding the Company’s strategic objectives and to evaluate the performance of and compensation recommendations for the other executive officers. The Committee utilizes the information provided by the CEO along with input from its independent compensation advisor and the knowledge and experience of Committee members in making compensation decisions.

Base salaries

Base salaries for our NEOs are intended to reflect the scope of their responsibilities, performance, skills and experience as compared with relevant and comparable market talent. When establishing base salaries for NEOs, the Committee considers market data and positions target pay for the NEOs based on a number of factors, including experience and tenure of the executive, scope of responsibilities, business performance and individual performance.

The Committee generally reviews base salaries of our NEOs in February of each year. In its annual review of the base salaries for our NEOs in February 2021,2022, the Committee determined to have the base salaries of our NEOs listed below remain generally unchanged, other than Mr. Amezquita as describednoted below. Mr. SchisselLevy was not an executive officer and not subject to Committee review in February 2021, and received a merit increase as described below.2022.

Annual incentive awards & long-term incentive program

Annual incentive awards

Our annual cash incentive plan is designed to motivate and reward the achievement of annual financial targets that create value for our stakeholders. The Committee establishes financial performance targets and goals for our annual incentive plan each year, taking into consideration that such targets and goals align with and support the Company’s business strategy, recognize current business conditions, align with the current year financial budget align with Wall Street analysts and public investor expectations and require performance that is competitive with those of the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group.

Incentive bonus awards are subject to approval by the Committee, and continuous employment through the date such bonus award payment is made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole

and absolute discretion, may provide for payment of any incentive bonus award to a terminated employee, which award shall be paid at the time incentive bonus awards are paid to active employees.

The 2022 performance criteria used for 2021 consisted ofof: (1) targeted Volume Points, serving as a proxy for sales, and (2) targeted Operating Income, subject to adjustments as discussed below, which we believe incentivizes our executives to make decisions that improve our profitability.

Target incentivesincentive opportunities for our executives are set by the Committee depending on the employee’s position, scope of responsibilities, ability to influence Company results, and competitive pay practices among the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group.

Results below the 95% of volume points level would result in no payout, at the 95% level would result in a 50% payout as a percentage of applicable target, and at or above the maximum 108%105% level would result in a 200% payout as a percentage of applicable target. Results below the 90% of operating income level would result in no payout, at the 90% level would result in a 50% payout as a percentage of applicable target, and at or above the maximum 110% level would result in a 200% payout as a percentage of applicable target. Bonuses are calculated utilizing linear interpolation for performance outcomes between levels. This bonus scale is designed to encourage realistic target-setting and prudent risk-taking while simultaneously

creating consequences for not meeting target and capping the potential payout in order to avoid excessive incentive awards as compared to performance.

Targets and award determination

Annual financial performance targets are aligned to what we believe to be the expectations of our investors and what we believe is achievable at the time of the annual budget review process. The annual budget review for 20212022 occurred in February 2021.2022. Budget figures are built from the “bottom up” based on input from operating regions regarding trends in their respective markets, including the general economic environment, sale and consumption of our products, sales

leader activity and retention, and the degree of risk in achieving forecasted revenue and expense levels.

Executive compensation45


For purposes of our annual incentive plan, the performance measures are defined and calculated as follows:

 

Volume Points are point values assigned to each of our products for use by the Company to determine an independent member’s sales achievement level. We assign a Volume Point value to a product when it is first introduced into a market and that value is unaffected by subsequent exchange rate and price changes. The specific number of Volume Points assigned to a product, generally consistent across all markets, is based on a Volume Point to suggested retail price ratio for similar products in the market. Volume Points are used by management as a proxy for sales trends because in general, excluding the impact of price changes, an increase in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country indicates an increase in our local currency net sales while a decrease in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country typically indicates a decrease in our local currency net sales. Management evaluates each year our current approach to assigning and maintaining Volume Point value for

Management evaluates each year our current approach to assigning and maintaining Volume Point value for certain products or markets in order to better align qualification thresholds across markets. Any changes to this approach may have an impact on the use of Volume Points as a proxy for sales trends in future periods. Because we assign a Volume Point value to a product when it is first introduced into a market, which value is unaffected by subsequent exchange rate and price changes, we believe that Volume Points exhibit the most accurate available measure of organic growth or decline in the local demand for our products.

 

Operating Income is the Company’s net sales less expenses, including royalty payments, costs of sales and general operating expenses adjusted for certain items, including without limitation currency fluctuations, which the Committee believes are not reflective of management’s performance and which are typically made public on a quarterly basis.
Operating Income is the Company’s net sales less expenses, including royalty payments, costs of sales and general operating expenses adjusted for certain items, including without limitation currency fluctuations, which the Committee believes are not reflective of management’s performance and which are typically made public on a quarterly basis.

For 20212022 annual incentive plan performance purposes, our Operating Income was calculated consistent with our adjusted EPS presentations and earnings guidance provided to the investment community, adjusting for: expenses related to legal accruals as described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021; COVID-19 expenses that are not expected to recur once the effects have largely receded; non-income tax assessments, recoveries, and creditsexpenses related to tax contingencies for prior years;our transformation program; charges related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict; and expenses related to our transformationdigital technology program. Our Operating Income was further adjusted, consistent with prior years, to include the following for bonus purposes: impact of changes in

currency exchange rates; China grant income, and China growth program.rates.

COVID-19 Adjustments to Operating Income. Non-recurring COVID-19 expenses in 20212022 include temporary hazard pay to employees, personal protective equipment (PPE) provided to employees, penalties for non-performance of contracts, and lost deposits on event cancellations, the total of which adjustments to the 20212022 Operating Income were approximately $13.8$4.4 million. Certain additional COVID-19 expenses incurred during 20212022 were not excluded because the Company anticipates this will be a recurring expense, such as increased home delivery expenses.

Motivating Operating Income growth permits Volume Point growth to be achieved in a cost-effective manner so that cost efficiencies and productivity enhancements are pursued throughout the Company.

We believe that the Company’s financial performance is facilitated by the “pay for performance” design of our compensation program. Our program motivates our NEOs to deliver financial results, with the appropriate level of risk-taking, against performance metrics in a manner that ultimately aligns with the realized growth of shareholder equity value. Our NEOs have the opportunity to earn annual incentive awards provided that the Company achieves aggressive growth targets in Volume Points and Operating Income. The Committee reviews and discusses the performance metrics and applicable weightings in approving the annual incentive award program each year to ensure it is providing the appropriate incentives.

Long-term incentive awards

Long-term incentive awards are designed to provide a link to long-term shareholder value through equity awards for our executives. Each year, the Committee determines the form of equity grant. Consistent with prior years, the majority of these equity awards are performance-based. With the exception of Mr. Schissel, who received a PSU grant in August 2021 in connection with his promotion to COO, the equity awards to NEOs are comprised of 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs. All equity awards are subject to our share ownership guidelines. An update regarding our 2021 progress against these guidelines is included on page 12 under “Share ownership guidelines”.

Additional details of the 20212022 equity awards made to our NEOs can be found below and in the tabular disclosure below under “2021“2022 Grants of plan-based awards” on page 44.59.

Performance share units

In 2021,2022, the Committee utilized PSUs as part of the Company’s long-term incentive program. All such PSUs awarded in 20212022 will vest on December 31, 2023,2024, subject to the Company’s achievement of the performance targets set by the Committee as measured over the three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 20212022 and ending on December 31, 2023,2024, subject further to continued Company service. The number of PSUs that will become earned and vested will be determined based on the Company’s performance against the financial and operating performance targets.targets over the three-year performance period. These targets correspond to the Company’s long-range forecast and, in setting such targets, the Committee took into account the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and related impact on the Company’s business, anticipating such uncertainty to continue throughout 2021.during 2022. The minimum number of PSUs that may become earned is zero. The maximum number of PSUs that may become earned and vested is 200% of the target PSU award granted to the participant.

The number of PSUs that will become earned upon vesting is based on achievement of performance targets for Local Currency Net Sales and Adjusted EBIT. Each of these metrics makes up one-half of the PSU award granted to the NEOs, and are defined as follows:

 

Local Currency Net Sales is the Company’s total reported net sales, adjusted in the same manner that the Company adjusts for public presentations and annual bonus purposes, including but not limited to adjustments for changes attributable to mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures not assumed in the long-range forecast, adjusted for variances caused by changes in accounting guidelines during the period, and adjusted to reflect currency rates assumed in the long-range forecast.

Adjusted EBIT is the Company’s earnings before interest or tax, adjusted in the same manner that the Company makes adjustments for public presentations and annual bonus purposes, including but not limited to adjustments to eliminate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates; tax settlement cost or accruals (non-income tax) relating to tax contingencies for tax matters related to periods prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period; long-term asset impairment charges; inventory reserves related to defective raw materials and finished goods obtained from third parties; expenses related to attacks on the Company’s business model, regulatory inquiries and regulatory settlements; litigation costs and settlements not budgeted for in the long-range forecast; China grant income and associated China growth program expenses; impact from business acquisitions and dispositions; impact from new accounting pronouncements adopted;
 

Adjusted EBIT is the Company’s earnings before interest or tax, adjusted in the same manner that the Company makes adjustments for public presentations and annual bonus purposes, including but not limited to adjustments to eliminate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates; tax settlement cost or accruals (non-income tax) relating to tax contingencies for tax matters related to periods prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period; long-term asset impairment charges; inventory reserves related to defective raw materials and finished goods obtained from third parties; expenses related to attacks on the Company’s business model, regulatory inquiries and regulatory settlements; litigation costs and settlements not budgeted for in the long-range forecast; impact from business acquisitions and dispositions; impact from new accounting pronouncements adopted; and one-time costs related to internal restructuring transactions.

We believe that the grant of PSUs increases the alignment of equity compensation with shareholder value and reward our NEOs for accelerating the Company’s growth. Further, if PSUs are earned, the NEOs will be aligned with shareholders through share ownership. PSUs comprised 75% of the Company’s 2021 long-term incentive program for our NEOs, other than Mr. Schissel, as described above.

20192020 PSU Results. Each of the NEOs, other than Mr. Johnson and Mr. Amezquita, who was not an executive officer at the time, were granted PSUs in February 2019,2020, the vesting of which were subject to the Company’s achievement level for threetwo performance metrics set by the Committee as measured over a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 20192020 and ending December 31, 2021,2022, subject further to continued Company service. Each metric made up one-thirdone-half of the 20192020 PSU award granted to such NEOs, comprised of: Local Currency Net Sales (as defined above), and Adjusted EBIT (as defined above) and Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS, which was eliminated as a third metric for the Company’s PSU awards starting in 2020, is defined as the Company’s reported fully diluted earnings per share calculated according to U.S. GAAP, adjusted in the same manner that the Company makes adjustments for public presentations and annual bonus purposes including but not limited to adjustments to exclude certain items that the Committee believes are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing performance. These items include variations in currency exchange rates; tax settlement cost or accruals relating to tax contingencies for tax matters related to periods prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period; long-term asset impairment charges; inventory reserves related to defective raw materials and finished goods obtained from third parties; expenses related to attacks on the Company’s business model, regulatory inquiries and regulatory settlements; litigation costs and settlements not tied to our long-term strategic plan; China grant income and associated China growth program expenses; impact from business acquisitions and dispositions; impact from new accounting pronouncements adopted; one-time costs related to internal restructuring transactions; valuation allowances for income tax and prior period tax settlement cost or accruals relating to income tax; changes in debt costs, capital structure and share count from the long-term strategic plan; non-cash interest costs relating to the Company’s convertible notes and prepaid forward share repurchase contract; and excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation exercises.. Each metric is weighted equally to determine total payout and linear interpolation is used to determine the number of PSUs earned and vested for performance. In February 2022,2023, following completion of the

Restricted stock units

The Committee incorporates RSUs as a component of long-term equity compensation to the executive officers in order to align the Company’s compensation program with general market practices and align executives with shareholders through share ownership. RSUs awarded to our NEOs in fiscal year 2021February 2022 will vest, subject to continued employment, in three annual installments: 20% on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and 60% on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs comprised 25%awarded to our NEOs in December 2022, other than Mr. Johnson, will vest on the two-year anniversary of the Company’s 2021grant date. Mr. Johnson’s RSUs awarded in December 2022 will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date.

Stock appreciation rights

As described above, the Committee incorporated SARs as part of the compensation granted to Mr. Johnson in December 2022. SARs awarded to Mr. Johnson in December 2022 will vest 100% on the second anniversary of the grant date. SARs demonstrate our commitment to sustainable long-term incentive programgrowth and further enhance our pay for our NEOs (other than Mr. Schissel,performance commitment as described above)the executive only realizes value through stock price appreciation (i.e., shareholder alignment).

Equity award grant policy

It is the Company’s policy to make annual equity grants to all eligible employees during an “open trading window”, which typically begins the second trading day following our release of quarterly financial results. We also follow a quarterly grant approval process where awards are authorized for newly-hired employees and to newly promoted executives other than our executive officers. All annual equity awards made to our NEOs and other executives are made pursuant to this equity grant policy, which was approved by the Committee.

We encourage all Section 16 officers to utilize a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan when exercising or selling any of the Company’s equity.

Hedging

Because hedging transactions often result in the establishment of a short position in Company securities and limit or eliminate an employee’s ability to profit from an increase in value of a company’s securities, Company policy prohibits all employees, including Section 16 Officers, and all members of the Board from entering into hedging transactions with respect to the Company’s Common Shares.

Pledging

Company policy prohibits executives and directors from pledging their Common Shares as collateral for a loan or for any other purpose.

Clawback policy

The Board has adopted a policy that enables it to clawback both cash and equity incentive compensation earned by our Section 16 Officers, and such other executives as determined by the Board. Specifically, in the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial results, the Board may, among other things, recoup all or part of any compensation paid to an executive that was based upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently restated. The 2014 Stock Incentive Plan provides that all awards made thereunder are subject to the Company’s clawback policies. The Company intends to adopt a clawback policy compliant with Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 upon or prior to the effectiveness of final listing standards from NYSE implementing such rule.

Benefits and perquisites

The Company’s U.S.-based employees, including the NEOs, participate in a variety of savings, health and welfare and paid time-off benefits typically provided by competitors for the services of the Company’s employees. Health and welfare and paid time-off benefits help the Company maintain a healthy, productive and focused workforce.

In addition, in fiscal year 2021,2022, our NEOs were eligible to participate in the following executive benefits and perquisites:

 

Retirement Benefits — Our NEOs participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) Plan and our Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan described in more detail under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans” on page 48. We maintain these plans for the purposes of providing a competitive benefit, allowing NEOs an opportunity to defer compensation to encourage our NEOs to save for retirement. The 401(k) plan provides an employer match

38 Retirement Benefits — Our NEOs participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) Plan and our Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan described in more detail under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans” on page 64. We maintain these plans for the purposes of providing a competitive benefit, allowing NEOs an opportunity to defer compensation


to encourage our NEOs to save for retirement. The 401(k) plan provides an employer match on the first 3% of employee deferral at 100%. On the next 3% of employee deferral, the employer match is 50%. The annual maximum employee deferral is $19,500$20,500 plus an additional $6,500 if over the age of 50. Employer matching contributions vest 100% after two years of service.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan — Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our broad-based Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The ESPP generally allows all U.S.-based employees and officers to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their annual, eligible compensation up to a maximum of $25,000 per year. The price of Common Shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Common Shares on the specified purchase date. We maintain the ESPP for the purpose of providing eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s success by purchasing Common Shares through payroll deductions.

maintain the ESPP for the purpose of providing eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s success by purchasing Common Shares through payroll deductions.

 

Life Insurance — We provide basic life insurance coverage of 200% of base salary up to a maximum of $1,500,000$2,000,000 to our executives and up to $1,000,000 to all other eligible employees. This is a fully insured benefit. Employees are taxed on their imputed income from this benefit on coverage exceeding $50,000.

The Company does not provide perquisites to executive officers that are not provided to other employees, other than the spousal or partner travel reimbursement, which we provide to support important business objectives. Buildingobjectives, and a private jet allowance for personal usage equal to $500,000 by Mr. Johnson in accordance with the terms of his 2022 employment agreement, as further described below. As it relates to the spousal or partner travel reimbursement, building strong relations with Herbalife Nutrition Members is critical to our business. We host worldwide Member events to continue to strengthen our relations with Herbalife Nutrition Members and encourage our senior executives to invite their spouses or partners, as the case may be, to attend certain international Member events to help foster and build relationships with Herbalife Nutrition Members and their spouses or partners. Beginning August 2018, we reimburse senior executives for authorized travel expenses of an accompanying spouse or partner to Member events, including any related tax impact, in support of the Company’s business. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, no in-person international Member events were held in 2021 and no reimbursements were made for fiscal year 2021.

Employment and severance agreements

OurOther than Mr. Johnson (who is not eligible under the terms of his employment agreement) and Dr. Agwunobi (who departed the Company in October 2022), our NEOs participate in the Herbalife International of America, Inc. Executive Officer Severance Plan, or the Severance Plan, which provides for certain benefits upon death, disability, resignation by the executive with good reason or termination by the Company without cause. For additional details regarding the Severance Plan, please see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 48.64.

Separation benefits include cash payments and other benefits in an amount the Company believes is appropriate, taking into account the time it is expected to take a separated executive to find another job. The Company requires a general release in connection with the individual separation agreements. We consider it likely that it will take more time for higher-level employees to find new employment commensurate with their prior experience, and therefore senior management generally are paid severance for a longer period. Additional payments may be approved by the Committee in some circumstances as a result of negotiation with executives,

especially where the Company desires particular non-disparagement, cooperation with litigation, non-competition and non-solicitation terms.

The Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan and equity compensation awards granted to the NEOs contain change in control and termination provisions. In general, these arrangements provide for benefits upon a termination of such executive’s employment in connection with a change in control. Accelerated vesting of equity-based awards is generally triggered when a change in control event occurs and either the acquiring or surviving entity fails to assume or continue the stock-based award or the executive is involuntarily terminated, other than for disability, cause or gross misconduct, within a certain period of time after the effective date of the change of control event. These arrangements are intended to preserve morale and productivity and encourage retention in the face of the disruptive impact of a change in control of the Company. Based on a competitive analysis of the severance and change in control arrangements maintained by the corporationscompanies in the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group, the Committee believes that these benefits are customary among the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group for executives in similar positions. Please refer to the discussion on page 4864 under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a more detailed discussion of our severance and change in control arrangements.

The Company has provided these benefits to the NEOs to allow them to focus on the value of strategic alternatives to shareholders without concern for the impact on their continued employment, as each of their offices is at heightened risk of turnover in the event of a change in control. We believe the severance and change of control benefits strike a balance between providing sufficient protections for the NEO while still providing post-termination compensation that we consider reasonable and in the interests of the Company and our shareholders.

Michael Johnson

In October 2022, Michael O. Johnson became the Company’s Chairman and interim Chief Executive Officer. In December 2022, the “interim” designation was removed and Mr. Johnson became the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Herbalife International America, Inc. (“HIAI”), entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Johnson as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective December 22, 2022 (the “CEO Employment Agreement”). The CEO Employment Agreement has a term through December 31, 2023. The payments and benefits to which Mr. Johnson is entitled under the CEO Employment Agreement include (i) annual base salary of $1, (ii) eligibility for an annual bonus targeted at $1,200,000 with a maximum opportunity of

Executive compensation51


$2,400,000, payable in the form of Common Shares, and (iii) an equity incentive award having a grant date fair value equal to $10,000,000, of which 50% was granted in the form of time-based restricted stock units and 50% was granted in the form of stock appreciation rights. Separate from his salary, Mr. Johnson also received a signing bonus of $250,000 in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with entry into the CEO Employment Agreement. Mr. Johnson is not entitled to separate compensation in respect of his service as a member of the Board while serving as the Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with the foregoing, on December 22, 2022 (the “Grant Date”), Mr. Johnson received 346,020 time-based stock units (the “CEO RSU Award”) and 783,699 stock appreciation rights (the “CEO SARs Award” and, together with the CEO RSU Award, the “CEO Equity Awards”) pursuant to the 2014 Plan. Half of the CEO RSU Award will vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and the remainder of the CEO RSU Award will vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. The CEO SARs Award has a ten-year term, a base price of $14.45, representing the closing price of a Common Share on the Grant Date, and will vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (i) Mr. Johnson voluntarily resigns as Chief Executive Officer without a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer having been appointed by the Board, the unvested CEO Equity Awards will be forfeited; (ii) prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson remains as a member of the Board, then the CEO RSU Award will continue to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting period and 50% of the CEO SARs Award will be forfeited and the remaining 50% of the CEO SARs Award will continue to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting period; (iii) on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson remains as a member of the Board, then all of Mr. Johnson’s unvested CEO Equity Awards will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting periods; (iv) a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson voluntarily ceases to serve as a member of the Board, then all of the unvested CEO Equity Awards will be forfeited; (v) Mr. Johnson is terminated as Chief Executive Officer or as a member of the Board without “cause” (as defined in the applicable award agreement), then, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, the CEO RSU Award shall immediately vest in full and a pro-rata portion of the CEO SARs Award will immediately vest based on the number of full months Mr. Johnson was employed and/or providing service as a member of the

Board during the vesting periods; or (v) Mr. Johnson is involuntarily terminated within twenty-four (24) months following a “change in control” (as defined in the 2014 Plan), the CEO Equity Awards will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 15(c) of the 2014 Plan. Mr. Johnson is not eligible to participate in the Severance Plan.

John Agwunobi

Effective October 27, 2022, the Board decided to change the leadership of the Company, resulting in Dr. John Agwunobi departing as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this transition, HIAI entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release with Dr. Agwunobi, dated October 31, 2022 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, Dr. Agwunobi: (i) will not solicit any of the Company’s employees, distributors or customers between October 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023; (ii) will not disparage, defame or make any negative

52Executive compensation


or derogatory statements about the Company or any of its affiliates, past or current officers, directors, employees or members; and (iii) will cooperate with the Company in connection with any internal or external investigations and legal matters. Additionally, the Separation Agreement includes a customary general release by Dr. Agwunobi of all waivable claims against the Company and its affiliates and reinforces Dr. Agwunobi’s obligation to not disclose any confidential information. The foregoing items are collectively referred to as the “Consideration Requirements.” In exchange for the foregoing, the Company paid Dr. Agwunobi remuneration in the amount of $2,261,538, which represents: (i) the portion of Dr. Agwunobi’s base salary that he would have earned if he had remained employed by the Company through December 31, 2022; and (ii) an amount equal to two years of Dr. Agwunobi’s base salary as of October 31, 2022. Dr. Agwunobi’s unvested PSUs granted in 2020 remained effective following October 31, 2022 and were settled in February 2023 on the dates and in the amounts that they would have been settled as if he had remained employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date. Breach of any of the Consideration Requirements will allow the Company to terminate any payment or consideration, and recoup any previously paid amounts, under the Separation Agreement.

Compensation advisor

The Committee is authorized by its charter to retain independent compensation consultants and other advisors. In 2021,2022, the Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners LLC to serve as its independent consultant and to assist in evaluating our executive compensation programs and in setting executive officer

compensation. Meridian reports directly to the Committee.

During its period of engagement in 2021,2022, Meridian regularly participated in Committee meetings and provided analyses and recommendations that inform the Committee’s decisions; identified peer group companies for competitive market comparisons; evaluated market pay data and competitive-position benchmarking; provided analyses and inputs on program structure, performance measures, and goals; provided updates on market trends and the regulatory environment as it relates to executive compensation; reviewed various management proposals presented to the Committee related to executive and board compensation; and worked with the Committee to validate and strengthen the pay-for-performance relationship.

The Committee assessed the independence of Meridian. In its assessment, the Committee considered the following factors specified in the NYSE listing standards: (i) the provision of other services by the consulting firm to the Company; (ii) the amount of fees paid as a percentage of the total revenue of the consulting firm; (iii) the policies and procedures of the consulting firm that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationship of the consultant with a member of the Committee; (v) any stock of the Company owned by the consultant; and (vi) any business or personal relationship of the consultant or consulting firm with an executive officer of the Company. Meridian provided the Committee with confirmation of its independent status. Based on this evaluation, the Committee has determined that Meridian met the criteria for independence and that its work with the Committee during fiscal year 20212022 did not raise any conflict of interest.

Peer group

Our level of compensation for our NEOs was compared to compensation paid by the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group. The criteria used to identify the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group were: (1) principal operations in the U.S. with an international presence — we operate in 95 markets around the world in a highly regulated business where approximately 76%77% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, were generated outside of the United States; (2) financial scope — our management talent should be similar to that of companies of a similar size in terms of revenues and market capitalization; (3) industry — we compete for talent with other companies in consumer product related industries; and (4) common “peer of peers” — we examined companies that are most frequently considered peers by Herbalife Nutrition’s peers. Annually, the Committee reviews the peer group and updates the group as appropriate.

Executive compensation53


With respect to pay decisions regarding 20212022 NEO compensation, the industry peer group was comprised of the fifteen (15) companies listed below. All of the peer companies were within the range of approximately 34%30% and 200% of Herbalife’s trailing twelve-month revenues at the time the peer group was established in July 2020.2021. The peer group median revenue of $5.2$5.0 billion and median market capitalization of $6.1$6.9 billion, in each case at the time the Herbalife Nutrition Peer Group was established, were comparable to those of Herbalife Nutrition.

Tax implications

Section 162(m) of the Code

The Committee takes into account the tax and accounting implications (including with respect to the expected lack of deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) when making compensation decisions, but reserves its right to continue to make compensation decisions based on other factors if it determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so. Further, interpretations of and changes in applicable tax laws and regulations, as well as other factors beyond the control of the Committee, may affect deductibility of compensation, and there can be no assurance that compensation paid to our executive officers who are covered by Section 162(m) will be deductible in the future.

TheRSUs, other than Mr. Johnson, whose 2022 equity grants consisted of RSUs and SARs. For the grants made in February 2022, the number of PSUs granted was calculated by dividing 75% of the total equity award value by the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, other than the grant to Mr. Schissel in August 2021 which was comprised solely of PSUs.grant. All equity awards shown in this table were granted under the 2014 Plan.

Such targets were established based on the Long-Range Forecast. The number of PSUs that will become earned and vested will be determined based on the Company’s performance against the performance targets. As such, the minimum number of PSUs that may become earned and vested is 0%. The maximum number of PSUs that may become earned and vested is 200% of the PSU award granted to the participant.

Executive compensation   4763 


Non-qualified deferred compensation plans.    We maintain the Senior Executive Plan, which covers all eligible employees at the rank of Senior Vice President and higher.

The Senior Executive Plan is unfunded and benefits are paid from the Company’s general assets, except that the Company has contributed amounts to a “rabbi trust” which assets will be used to pay benefits if we remain solvent, but can be reached by our creditors if we become insolvent. The Senior Executive Plan allows eligible employees, who are selected by the administrative committee that manages and administers the plan, or the Deferred Compensation Committee, to elect annually to defer up to 75% of their annual base salary and up to 100% of their annual bonus for each calendar year, or the Annual Deferral Amount. We make matching contributions on behalf of each participant in the Senior Executive Plan, which matching contributions are 100% vested at all times.

Effective January 1, 2013, the matching contribution under the Senior Executive Plan was changed to 3.5% of a participant’s annual base salary in excess of the qualified plan annual compensation limit and the amount by which deferrals reduce 401(k) eligible pay below the IRS limit.

Each participant in the Senior Executive Plan may determine how his or her Annual Deferral Amount and matching contributions, if any, will be deemed to be invested by choosing among several investment funds or indices designated by the Deferred Compensation Committee. The Senior Executive Plan, however, does not require us to actually acquire or hold any investment fund or other assets to fund the Senior Executive Plan. The entire interest of each participant in the Senior Executive Plan is always fully vested and non-forfeitable.

In connection with a participant’s election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, the participant may also elect to receive a “Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal” equal to the Annual Deferral Amount and the matching contributions, if any, attributable thereto plus earnings, and shall be payable two or more years after the end of the plan year in which the Annual Deferral Amount is actually deferred. As of January 2004, the Senior Executive Plan was amended to allow for deferral of the short-term payout date if the deferral is made within the time period specified therein. Subject to the short-term payout provision and specified exceptions for unforeseeable financial emergencies, a participant may not withdraw, without incurring a ten percent (10%) withdrawal penalty, all or any portion of his or her account under the Senior Executive Plan prior to the date that such participant either (1) is determined by the Deferred Compensation

Committee to have incurred permanent and total disability or (2) dies or otherwise terminates employment.

Potential payments upon termination or change in control

The information below describes certain compensation that would have become payable under existing plans and contractual arrangements assuming a termination of employment and/or change in control had occurred on December 31, 20212022 based upon the closing price of a Common Share on the NYSE on December 31, 202130, 2022 of $40.93,$14.88, given the NEOs’ compensation and service levels as of such date. In addition to the benefits described below, upon any termination of employment, each of the NEOs would also be entitled to the amount shown in the column labeled “Aggregate Balance at Last FYE” in the “2021 “2022 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” table.

Severance Plan

On October 31, 2016, the Committee approved the Severance Plan. As of December 31, 2021,2022, each of our NEOs were participants in the Severance Plan.Plan, other than Mr. Johnson (who is not eligible under the terms of his employment agreement) and Dr. Agwunobi (who departed the Company in October 2022). Our other executive officers are eligible to participate in the Severance Plan, subject to being designated to participate by the Committee. The participation in the Severance Plan is described in more detail below. In addition, the Company has also entered into award agreements governing the equity-based compensation awards (including RSUs and PSUs) granted to each of the NEOs.

Under the Severance Plan, in the event an NEO’s respective employment is terminated by Herbalife International of America, Inc. without “Cause” (as defined in the Severance Plan), other than in connection with their death or disability, or by such NEO for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Severance Plan), Dr. Agwunobi would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to 2.0x his annualized base salary, and the other NEOs (other than the CEO) would each be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to 1.0x their annualized base salary. Such lump sum amount as of December 31, 20212022 would be equal to (i) $2,000,000$550,000 for Dr. Agwunobi,Mr. Amezquita, $530,000 for Mr. Schissel, $550,000 for Mr. Wang, $566,500 for Mr. Lamberti, $348,000 for Mr. DeSimone and $566,500 for Mr. Levy. If the CEO were a participant, such individual would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to 2.0x annualized base salary, reduced to 1.5x after five years of participation in the Severance Plan, and (ii) $695,000 for Mr. DeSimone, $500,000 for Mr. Amezquita, $637,570 for Mr. Hoffman, $530,000 for Mr. Schissel, $282,500 for Mr. Pezzullo, in each case reduced to 0.5x after five5 years of participation in the Severance Plan. Mr. Johnson is not a participant in the Severance Plan, pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, as described above. Additionally, such NEOparticipants would be entitled in such case to a payment of a pro-rata annual cash bonus payment for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs (based on the actual performance of Herbalife International of America, Inc. over the entire year and the number of days worked by the NEO in such year), payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to executives generally for such year. Payment of the severance

64Executive compensation


payment is subject to and conditioned upon the execution of a general release in

48Executive compensation


favor of the Company and additional requirements set forth in the Severance Plan.

Mr. Johnson’s Employment Agreement

As discussed, Mr. Johnson is not eligible to participate in the Severance Plan pursuant to the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement (as described on page 51 under “Employment and severance agreements”). In connection with the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Johnson received the CEO Equity Awards. Pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, if: (i) Mr. Johnson voluntarily resigns as Chief Executive Officer without a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer having been appointed by the Board, the unvested CEO Equity Awards will be forfeited; (ii) prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson remains as a member of the Board, then the CEO RSU Award will continue to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting period and 50% of the CEO SARs Award will be forfeited and the remaining 50% of the CEO SARs Award will continue to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting period; (iii) on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson remains as a member of the Board, then all of Mr. Johnson’s unvested CEO Equity Awards will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to his continuous service as a member of the Board through the remainder of the vesting periods; (iv) a new non-interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed by the Board and Mr. Johnson voluntarily ceases to serve as a member of the Board, then all of the unvested CEO Equity Awards will be forfeited; (v) Mr. Johnson is terminated as Chief Executive Officer or as a member of the Board without “cause” (as defined in the applicable award agreement), then, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, the CEO RSU Award shall immediately vest in full and a pro-rata portion of the CEO SARs Award will immediately vest based on the number of full months Mr. Johnson was employed and/or providing service as a member of the Board during the vesting periods; or (v) Mr. Johnson is involuntarily terminated within twenty-four (24) months following a “change in control” (as defined in the 2014 Plan), the CEO Equity Awards will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 15(c) of the 2014 Plan.

Outstanding Equity Awards

Pursuant to each of the NEO’s RSU award agreements granted prior to 2022, the Committee has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of RSUs upon a Change in Control, as defined in the 2014 Plan.

Pursuant to each of the NEO’s RSU award agreements granted in 2022 (other than the May 2022 annual director equity grant to Mr. Johnson), and each of the NEO’s PSU award agreements, as applicable, in the event of their respective involuntary termination of employment within twenty-four months following a Change in Control, as defined in the 2014 Plan, or if the acquiring entity fails to assume or continue the stock-based award,award: (i) in the case of the RSUs, such unvested RSUs will immediately vest, and (ii) in the case of the PSUs, each will have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control, unless such performance cannot be determined, in which case each will have the right to receive a payment equal to the target amount payable.

Pursuant to Mr. Johnson’s RSU award agreement granted in May 2022 in connection with his Board service, (i) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, such award will be accelerated and become vested as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, and (ii) upon any termination of Mr. Johnson’s service as a member of the Board by reason of Participant’s death or disability, all unvested RSUs shall vest as of the date of such termination of service.

John Agwunobi’s Separation Agreement

Effective October 27, 2022, the Board decided to change the leadership of the Company, resulting in Dr. John Agwunobi departing as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this transition, HIAI entered into the Separation Agreement with Dr. Agwunobi (as described on page 51 under “Employment and severance agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, Dr. Agwunobi: (i) will not solicit any of the Company’s employees, distributors or customers between October 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023; (ii) will not disparage, defame or make any negative or derogatory statements about the Company or any of its affiliates, past or current officers, directors, employees or members; and (iii) will cooperate with the Company in connection with any internal or external investigations and legal matters. Additionally, the Separation Agreement includes a customary general release by Dr. Agwunobi of all waivable claims against the Company and its affiliates and reinforces Dr. Agwunobi’s obligation to not disclose any confidential information. The foregoing items are collectively referred to as the “Consideration Requirements.” In exchange for the foregoing, the Company paid Dr. Agwunobi remuneration in the amount of $2,261,538, which represents: (i) the portion of Dr. Agwunobi’s base salary that he would have earned if he had remained employed by the Company through December 31, 2022; and (ii) an amount equal to two years of Dr. Agwunobi’s base salary as of October 31, 2022. Dr. Agwunobi’s unvested PSUs granted in 2020 remained effective following October 31, 2022 and were

Executive compensation65


settled in February 2023 on the dates and in the amounts that they would have been settled as if he had remained employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date. Breach of any of the Consideration Requirements will allow the Company to terminate any payment or consideration, and recoup any previously paid amounts, under the Separation Agreement.

Definitions

A “Change in Control” for purposes of the summary of the 2014 Plan means the occurrence of any one of the following (i) an acquisition (other than directly from the Company after advance approval by a majority of the directors comprising the Board of Directors as of the effective date of the 2014 Plan, or the incumbent board) of Common Shares or other voting securities of the Company by any person (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or any person in connection with a transaction described in clause (iii) of this definition, immediately after which such person has beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) members of the incumbent board cease for any reason during any 24-month period to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board, such new director shall, for purposes of the 2014 Plan, be considered as a member of the incumbent board; or (iii) the consummation of: (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company, unless the voting securities of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such merger or consolidation or reorganization in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities

immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (B) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (C) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person (other than a transfer to a subsidiary of the Company).

For the purposes of the award agreements governing the NEOs’ PSUs and RSUs, a “Change in Control” has the same meaning as set forth in the paragraph immediately stated above.

For the purposes of the Severance Plan, the following terms have the following definitions:

 

The Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the executive in the event of any of the following acts or circumstances: (i) failure to perform substantially all of his or her duties, (ii) commission of, or indictment for a felony or any crime involving fraud or embezzlement or dishonesty or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to a misdemeanor (other than a traffic violation) punishable by imprisonment under federal, state or local law; (iii) engagement in an act of fraud or of willful dishonesty towards the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) willful misconduct or negligence resulting in a material economic harm to the Company or any of its affiliates; (v) violation of a federal or state securities law or regulation; (vi) dishonesty detrimental to the best interests of the Company or any of its affiliates; (vii) conduct involving any immoral acts which is reasonably likely to impair the reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates; (viii) willful disloyalty to the Company or any of its affiliates; (ix) violation, as determined by the Board based on opinion of its counsel, of any securities or employment laws or regulations; (x) use of a controlled substance without a prescription or the use of alcohol which impairs his or her ability to carry out his or her duties and responsibilities; or (xi) material violation of the Company’s policies and procedures or any breach of any agreement between the Company and him or her.

 

The executive will be deemed to have a “Good Reason” to terminate his employment in the event of (i) a material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary unless such reduction is part of an across-the-board reduction in executive officer base salaries approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; (ii) a material diminution in the executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities from those either previously in effect or, if applicable, as defined in an employment agreement between the executive and the Company (serving in a similar functional role (e.g., financial, legal) following a corporate transaction shall not in and of itself be deemed a material diminution); or (iii) the relocation of the executive’s primary office location of more than 50 miles that places the primary office farther from the executive’s residence than it was before; provided,

Pay ratio disclosure

 

 

In August 2015, pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SEC adopted a rule requiring annual disclosure of the ratio of the median employee’s annual total compensation to the total annual compensation of the principal executive officer.

For purposes of determining the required ratio, in order to better reflect our employee compensation practices, annual total compensation for our median employee and for our CEO includes the dollar value of non-discriminatory medical, dental and vision benefits, group life insurance and employer contributions for disability insurance coverage and our employee assistance program, which are not required to be reported as compensation for our CEO in the 20212022 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement. Our median employee’s annual total compensation for 20212022 was $37,222.$39,782.

Dr. Agwunobi, who was the Company’s Chairman and CEO until October 27, 2022, had aan annualized total compensation in 20212022 of $7,007,360.$6,096,620. As a result, we estimate that Dr. Agwunobi’s 20212022 compensation is approximately 188153 times that of our median employee.

The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

The reported pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. For these purposes, we identified the median compensated employee using base salary and bonus paid from October 1, 20202021 through September 30, 2021,2022, which we annualized for any employee who did not work for the entire year. We identified our employee population as of October 1, 20212022 based on our Human Resources records.

Pay v. Performance
As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above, the Committee has implemented an executive compensation program designed to link a substantial part of each executive’s realized compensation to the achievement of the Company’s financial and operating objectives as well as to align executives’ pay with changes in the value of long-term stakeholder value. As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
we are providing the following information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers and the Company’s performance.

for fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
(7)For 2022, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Committee determined that Operating Income, as used under the Company’s 2022 annual incentive plan, continues to be viewed as a core driver of the Company’s performance and shareholder value creation and, accordingly, the Committee selected it as the Company-Selected Measure. Operating Income is presented as adjusted for bonus purposes, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis relating to our annual incentive plan performance.
(8)Includes $2,261,538 paid pursuant to the Separation Agreement and General Release entered into between the Company’s subsidiary, Herbalife International of America, Inc. and Dr. Agwunobi, dated October 31, 2022.
Relationship Between Pay and Performance
We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above and over the three-year cumulative period are reflective of the Committee’s emphasis on
“pay-for-performance”
as the “Compensation Actually Paid” fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our share performance and our varying levels of achievement against
pre-established
performance goals under our annual incentive plan and our PSUs, including our Operating Income performance. As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Mr. Johnson’s 2022 compensation is largely in the form of an equity grant in December 2022 with a grant value of $10,000,000, 50% in RSUs and 50% in SARs, and, given the proximity to fiscal year end, retained a similar
year-end
value. Mr. Johnson received no compensation in 2021, as he was not an employee of the Company or a member of the Board in 2021.
The table below shows the relationship between compensation actually paid to Dr. Agwunobi and Mr. Johnson and the average of the compensation actually paid to our other NEOs and our cumulative total shareholder return over the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2022:

The following is a list of financial performance and other measures, which in the Company’s assessment represent the most important financial and other performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Named Executive Officers for 2022, as further described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis:

Indemnification of directors and officers

The Articles provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands Law, every director, agent or officer of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out his functions other than such liability (if any) that he may incur by his own willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands Law, such director, agent or officer shall not be liable to the Company for any loss or damage in carrying out his functions unless the liability arises through the willful misconduct of such director, agent or officer.

The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability. As such, it is governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands with respect to the indemnification provisions. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Articles provide for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except in the case of (a) any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer, (b) such

director’s or officer’s conscious, intentional or willful breach of his or her obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or (c) any claims or rights of action to recover any gain, personal profit or other advantage to which the director or officer is not legally entitled.

The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and certain of its officers to supplement the indemnification protection available under the Articles. These indemnity agreements generally provide that the Company will indemnify the parties thereto to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In addition to the indemnification provisions set forth above, the Company maintains insurance policies covering our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, including those arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to managers, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address,

householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and

would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your Common Shares are held in a brokerage account or the Company if you hold Common Shares directly. You can notify the Company by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Herbalife International of America, Inc., 800 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 406, Los Angeles, California 90015, or by email to corpsec@herbalife.com.

Any shares of Common Stock issued under Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against the number of shares issuable under the Plan on a one-for-one basis and any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as 1.85 shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Common Stock subject to such Award. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date (such awards the “Prior Plan Awards”) that, after the Effective Date, are canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under a Prior Plan Award) or settled in cash shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan as one (1) share of Common Stock if such shares were subject to options or stock appreciation rights granted under a Prior Plan, and as 1.85 shares of Common Stock if such shares were subject to awards other than options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Prior Plan.

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 5,000,000, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 15 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.

(d) Substitute Awards. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were employees or directors of such acquired or combined company before such acquisition or combination.

(e) Non-Employee Director Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one non-employee director shall not exceed that number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of grant of $375,000; provided, however, that in the calendar year in which a non-employee director first joins the Board or is first designated as Chairman of the Board or Lead Director, the maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted to such non-employee director may be up to two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock indicated by the foregoing limit.

6. Administration of the Plan

(a) Administrator of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Board shall fill vacancies on, and from time to time may remove or add members to, the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a majority vote or unanimous written consent.

To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the Compensation Committee of the Board (or any successor) may by resolution delegate any or all of its authority to one or more subcommittees composed of one or more directors and/or officers, and any such subcommittee shall be treated as the Committee for all purposes under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (or any successor) delegates to a subcommittee comprised of one or more officers of the Company (who are not also directors) the authority to grant Awards, the resolution so authorizing such subcommittee shall specify the total number of shares of Common Stock such subcommittee may award pursuant to such delegated authority, and no such subcommittee shall designate any officer serving thereon or any executive officer of the Company as a recipient of any Awards granted under such delegated authority. The Committee hereby delegates to and designates the senior human resources officer of the Company (or such other officer with similar authority), and to his or her delegates or designees, the authority to assist the Committee in the day-to-day administration of the Plan and of Awards granted under the Plan, including without limitation those powers set forth in Section 6(b)(4) through (9) and to execute agreements evidencing Awards made under this Plan or other documents entered into under this Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company. The Committee may further designate and delegate to one or more additional officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary, and/or one or more agents, authority to assist the Committee in any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan and/or of Awards granted under the Plan.

(1)

to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein;

(2)

to determine which persons are Eligible Persons, to which of such Eligible Persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards;

(3)

to prescribe and amend the terms of the Award Agreements, to grant Awards and determine the terms and conditions thereof;

(4)

to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting, exercisability or settlement of any Award;

(5)

to prescribe and amend the terms of or form of any document or notice required to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this Plan;

(8)

to approve corrections in the documentation or administration of any Award; and

(9)

to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that is “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall exercise its discretion in a manner that causes such Awards to be compliant with or exempt from the requirements of such Code section. Without limiting the foregoing, unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Participant holding such Award, the Committee shall not take any action with respect to any Award which constitutes (i) a modification of a stock right within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new stock right, (ii) an extension of a stock right, including the addition of a feature for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(C), or (iii) an impermissible acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral of a stock right subject to Section 409A of the Code within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E).

The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan but subject to the limitations otherwise set forth in Section 19, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or service to the Company or an Affiliate. The Committee or any member thereof may, in its sole and absolute discretion and, except as otherwise provided in Section 19, waive, settle or adjust any of the terms of any Award so as to avoid unanticipated consequences or address unanticipated events (including any temporary closure of an applicable stock exchange, disruption of communications or natural catastrophe).

Further, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan may not become exercisable, vest or be settled, in whole or in part, prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, except that the Committee may provide that such Awards become exercisable, vest or settle prior to such date in the event of the Participant’s death or disability or in the event of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan (as described in Section 5(a)) may be issued pursuant to Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the Committee determines appropriate, and (ii) Awards to non-employee directors may vest in less than one year and not count against the 5% pool described in clause (i) so long as such Awards vest based upon service as a member of the Board from the date of the annual grant to directors through at least April 15 of the next following calendar year.

(c) Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. Members of the Board and members of the Committee acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties.

A-6


(d) Subsidiary Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing any subject shares of Common Stock to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine.

7. Plan Awards

(a) Terms Set Forth in Award Agreement. Awards may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Eligible Persons as determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Agreement may contain such terms and conditions as specified from time to time by the Committee, provided such terms and conditions do not conflict with the Plan. The Award Agreement for any Award (other than Restricted Stock awards) shall include the time or times at or within which and the consideration, if any, for which any shares of Common Stock may be acquired from the Company. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Agreements may vary.

(b) Separation from Service. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall specify before, at, or after the time of grant of an Award the provisions governing the effect(s) upon an Award of a Participant’s Separation from Service.

(c) Rights of a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock.

8. Options

(a) Grant, Term and Price.

The term of an Option shall in no event be greater than ten years; provided, however, the term of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) shall be automatically extended if, at the time of its scheduled expiration, the Participant holding such Option is prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy from exercising the Option, which extension shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date such prohibition no longer applies. The Committee will establish the price at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option, which, in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price per share of Common Stock with respect to an Option that is granted as a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted if such exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition that satisfies the requirements of (i) Section 409A of the Code, if such options held by such optionees are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) Section 424(a) of the Code, if such options held by such optionees are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in cash or such other method as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the Shares issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock or withholding of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise.

(b) No Repricing without Shareholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 15), the Committee shall not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of such Option and, at any time when the exercise price of an Option is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, shall not, without shareholder approval (except in the case of a Change in Control), exchange such Option for a new Award or for cash.

(c) Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of

A-7


the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Shareholder”), the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that either (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, or (b) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months (or such other period of time provided in Section 422 of the Code) of separation of service (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder).

(d) No Shareholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Option or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

9. Stock Appreciation Rights

(a) General Terms. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Stock Appreciation Right shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of Options granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”). Upon exercise of a tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by such exercise. Conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related tandem SAR, if any, shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Option exercise. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option, provided that the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of the SAR’s grant is not greater than the exercise price of the related Option. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 8 and all tandem SARs shall have the same exercise price as the Option to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common Stock, cash, Restricted Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) No Repricing without Shareholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 15), the Committee shall not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right and, at any time when the exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, shall not, without shareholder approval (except in the case of a Change in Control), exchange such Stock Appreciation Right for a new Award or for cash.

(c) No Shareholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

10. Restricted Stock and Stock Unit Awards

(a) Vesting and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Award shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and /or satisfaction of performance conditions in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan. In addition, the Committee shall have the right to grant Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Awards as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other shareholder-approved compensation plans or arrangements of the Company.

(b) Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares of Common Stock, unless determined otherwise by the

A-8


Committee. The Committee will determine whether any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Restricted Stock and/or subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be paid in cash. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, during the period prior to shares being issued in the name of a Participant under any Stock Unit, the Company shall pay or accrue Dividend Equivalents on each date dividends on Common Stock are paid, subject to such conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate. The time and form of any such payment of Dividend Equivalents shall be specified in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will dividends or Dividend Equivalents be paid with respect to unvested Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents accrued on such shares shall become payable no earlier than the date the vesting criteria have been achieved and the underlying shares or Stock Units have become vested.

11. Incentive Bonuses

(a) Performance Criteria. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the amount payable under an Incentive Bonus, which may include a target, threshold and/or maximum amount payable and any formula for determining such, and which criteria may be based on performance conditions in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan.

(b) Timing and Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine the timing of payment of any Incentive Bonus. Payment of the amount due under an Incentive Bonus may be made in cash or in Common Stock, as determined by the Committee.

12. Performance-Based Compensation

The Committee may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an Award, which criteria may be based on Performance Criteria or other standards of financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations.

(b) Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, or derivations of such performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total shareholder return, (vi) return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on assets or net assets, (viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) revenue (including adjusted revenue, Volume Points, net sales and analogous financial measures), (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income, (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii) cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue, (xx) customer service, or (xxi) any other measures of performance as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee may provide, at the time an Award is granted or at any time thereafter, that any evaluation of performance under a Performance Criteria shall include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during the applicable performance period: (A) the effects of charges for restructurings or discontinued operations, (B) items of gain, loss or expense determined to be infrequently occurring or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principle, (C) the cumulative effect of accounting change, (D) asset write-downs, (E) litigation, claims, judgments, settlements or loss contingencies, (F) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (G) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (H) accruals of any amounts for payment under this Plan or any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Company.

13. Deferral of Payment

The Committee may, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Common Stock or cash upon settlement, vesting or other events with respect to Stock Units, or in payment or satisfaction of an Incentive Bonus. If a Participant has elected to defer payment or settlement of an Award, then the Award will (provided that all vesting and other conditions have been satisfied) be paid in accordance with the Participant’s deferral consistent with the terms of the applicable deferred compensation plan maintained by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any election to defer the delivery of Common Stock or any other payment with respect to any Award be

A-9


allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. No Award shall provide for deferral of compensation that does not comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Company, the Board and the Committee shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board or the Committee.

14. Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards

The Committee may provide that the Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Common Stock issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Common Stock already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and (iv) provisions requiring Common Stock be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

15. Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock

(a) The number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan (including under any Awards then outstanding), and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to the limits set forth in Section 5 of this Plan, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend or distribution of securities, property or cash (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects the number or kind of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 424 of the Code or may be designed to treat the shares of Common Stock available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all outstanding on the record date for such event or transaction or to increase the number of such shares of Common Stock to reflect a deemed reinvestment in shares of Common Stock of the amount distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The terms of any outstanding Award shall also be equitably adjusted by the Committee as to price, number or kind of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award, vesting, and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which adjustments need not be uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to such an adjustment.

(b) In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a Change in Control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee shall determine the appropriate and equitable adjustment to be effected, which adjustments need not be uniform between different Awards or different types of Awards. In addition, in the event of such change described in this paragraph, the Committee may accelerate the time or times at which any Award may be exercised, consistent with and as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code, and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(c) Unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Award Agreement or another contract, including an employment agreement, or under the terms of a transaction constituting a Change in Control, the following shall occur upon a Participant’s involuntary termination of employment within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, provided that such termination does not result from the Participant’s termination for disability, cause or gross misconduct: (i) in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall have the ability to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, including any portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right not previously exercisable, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for a period of three (3) years following such termination, but in no event after the expiration of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) in the case of an Award subject to performance conditions in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan, the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control (unless such performance cannot be determined, in which case the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment equal to the

A-10


target amount payable), and (iii) in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or Stock Units, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control in which the acquiring or surviving company in the transaction does not assume or continue outstanding Awards upon the Change in Control, immediately prior to the Change in Control, all Awards that are not assumed or continued shall be treated as follows effective immediately prior to the Change in Control: (A) in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall have the ability to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, including any portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right not previously exercisable (provided, that any Option or Stock Appreciation Right for which the exercise price is less than the consideration per Share payable to shareholders of the Company in such Change in Control may be cancelled upon the consummation of the Change in Control without payment of any additional consideration), (B) in the case of an Award subject to performance conditions in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan, the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control (unless such performance cannot be determined, in which case the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment equal to the target amount payable), and (C) in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or Stock Units, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse. In no event shall any action be taken pursuant to this Section 15(c) that would change the payment or settlement date of an Award in a manner that would result in the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(d) The Company shall notify Participants holding Awards subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 15 of such adjustment, but (whether or not notice is given) such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, an adjustment to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right under this Section 15 shall be made in a manner that will not result in the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right under Section 409A of the Code.

16. Transferability

Each Award may not be sold, transferred for value, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime. Notwithstanding the foregoing, outstanding Options may be exercised following the Participant’s death by the Participant’s beneficiaries or as permitted by the Committee.

17. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

This Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver shares of Common Stock under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver Common Stock prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such shares of Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Common Stock shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Common Stock underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary.

In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country.

A-11


18. Withholding

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any minimum statutory withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Award, or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not be required to recognize any Participant rights under an Award, to issue shares of Common Stock or to recognize the disposition of such shares of Common Stock until such obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or shall be satisfied by the Company withholding cash from any compensation otherwise payable to or for the benefit of a Participant, the Company withholding a portion of the shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or any other award held by the Participant or by the Participant tendering to the Company cash or shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may only withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock to satisfy any minimum statutory withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Award, or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock.

19. Amendment of the Plan or Awards

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan and the Committee may amend, or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 15, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company:

(a)

increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;

(b)

reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a);

(c)

reprice outstanding Options or SARs as described in 8(b) and 9(b);

(d)

extend the term of this Plan;

(e)

change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; or

(f)

otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring shareholder approval by law or the rules of any stock exchange or market or quotation system on which the Common Stock is traded, listed or quoted.

No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement shall be made which would impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the date of any Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated.

20. No Liability of Company

The Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence, the Board and the Committee shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted hereunder.

21. Non-Exclusivity of Plan

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights or stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

22. Governing Law

This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

A-12


23. No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service

Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service for the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall this Plan or an Award itself confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates. Subject to Sections 4 and 19, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.

24. Forfeiture Upon Termination of Employment

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, Awards may be forfeited if the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate for any reason.

25. Specified Employee Delay

To the extent any payment under this Plan is considered deferred compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, such payment may not be made to a specified employee (as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) upon Separation from Service before the date that is six months after the specified employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month plus one day following the specified employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death).

26. No Liability of Committee Members

No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

27. Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

28. Unfunded Plan

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Awards. If the Committee or the Company chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

29. Recoupment Policy

As applicable, all Awards, including any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, are subject to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company from time to time and, in accordance

A-13


with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that such Awards, including any shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards, be repaid to the Company after they have been paid. To the extent any policy adopted by the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed) pursuant to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the repayment of incentive-based compensation received by a Participant, whether paid pursuant to an Award granted under this Plan or any other plan of incentive-based compensation maintained in the past or adopted in the future by the Company, by accepting an Award under this Plan, the Participant agrees to the repayment of such amounts to the extent required by such policy and applicable law.
