On December 11, 2019, Nautilus, Inc. (the
“Company”), announced the appointment of Aina Konold as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective
December 10, 2019 (the “Effective Date”).
Ms. Konold, 51, served as the Vice President
of Finance for Gap Inc., a worldwide clothing and accessories retailer, from May 2018 to December 2018. From March 2011 to May
2018, Ms. Konold served as the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Gap Inc.’s Chinese division. From 2007 to
2011, Ms. Konold served as Senior Director of Investor Relations for Gap Inc. Ms. Konold holds a B.A. from Stanford University.
The Company
entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Ms. Konold, effective as of December 10, 2019 (the “Agreement”).
Ms. Konold’s initial annual base salary under the Agreement is $350,000, and she will be eligible for an annual bonus with
a target amount of up to 60% of her annual base salary, payable based on achievement of corporate and/or personal performance
goals at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, with potential for a
bonus in excess of such target for superior performance. The Agreement also provides that Ms. Konold will receive an initial
inducement grant of 200,000 restricted stock units (the “Initial Inducement RSUs”). The Initial Inducement RSUs will
vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the Effective Date, subject to Ms. Konold’s
continued service until each vesting date. Furthermore, the Agreement provides that Ms. Konold will receive a second inducement
grant of 160,000 restricted stock units (the “Second Inducement RSUs” and together with the Initial Inducement RSUs,
the “Inducement RSUs”). The Second Inducement RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on the first three
anniversaries of May 2020, subject to Ms. Konold’s continued service until each vesting date. The vesting of the Inducement
RSUs will be accelerated in the event of a “change in control,” as defined in the Agreement, and the Inducement RSUs
will be granted outside of the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The Agreement
also entitles Ms. Konold to receive sign-on bonuses in the total amount of $200,000, with 50% of such amount payable upon Ms. Konold’s
employment with the Company, and 50% of such amount payable on the six-month anniversary of Ms. Konold’s first date of employment
with the Company, subject to Ms. Konold’s relocation to the Vancouver, Washington area. These bonuses are subject
to ratable claw-back should Ms. Konold resign from the Company prior to the first anniversary of her employment. Ms. Konold
is also eligible for certain relocation benefits, including reimbursement of moving and travel expenses associated with Ms. Konold
and her family’s relocation to the Vancouver, Washington area.
Either party
may terminate the Agreement at any time for any reason, provided, however, if the Company terminates Ms. Konold’s employment
without “cause” or Ms. Konold resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in the Agreement), then Ms. Konold
will be entitled to receive certain severance benefits, including cash severance equal to nine months of her then-current annual
base salary and continuation of the company-paid portion of medical and dental coverages during such nine-month period.
The foregoing summary of the material terms
of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement,
which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
