Previously, Mr. Nuzzo was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for GNC Holdings, Inc., a multinational health and nutrition retailer.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Nuzzo and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as Chief Executive Officer and director.

A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Nuzzo’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Employment Agreement and Indemnification Agreement with New Chief Executive Officer

On July 30, 2025, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Nuzzo in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer (the “Nuzzo Employment Agreement”), to be effective as of August 7, 2025.

Pursuant to the Nuzzo Employment Agreement, Mr. Nuzzo’s annual base salary will be $800,000 and will be subject to increase by our Board of Directors based on Mr. Nuzzo’s performance. Mr. Nuzzo will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual cash bonus program with an annual cash bonus opportunity of up to 100% of base salary based on the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Board. For 2025, Mr. Nuzzo will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus based on the achievement of one or more performance goals agreed between Mr. Nuzzo and the Board, which the parties will endeavor to determine within 45 days of August 7, 2025.

In addition, pursuant to the Nuzzo Employment Agreement and subject to the terms of the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a customary grant agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) entered into by the Company and Mr. Nuzzo, on August 21, 2025, Mr. Nuzzo will be entitled to receive restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an initial value of $3.5 million based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten trading days commencing on August 7, 2025. Fifty percent of such RSUs will vest in four substantially equal installments on each of the 12-, 24-, 30-, and 36-month anniversaries of August 7, 2025, based on and subject to Mr. Nuzzo’s continued service with the Company. The remaining fifty percent of the RSUs will vest in incremental one-third tranches if, during the 36-month period following August 7, 2025, the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, equals or exceeds $16.00, $25.00, and $30.00, respectively, for 20 consecutive trading days.

Pursuant to the Nuzzo Employment Agreement, if Mr. Nuzzo’s employment is terminated (i) by us without “cause” (as defined in the Nuzzo Employment Agreement), (ii) by Mr. Nuzzo for “good reason” (as defined in the Nuzzo Employment Agreement), or (iii) as a result of Mr. Nuzzo’s disability resulting from an injury or death incurred in the course and scope of his employment, and Mr. Nuzzo executes a release of all claims in substance and form

satisfactory to the Company, Mr. Nuzzo will be entitled to severance payments of 12 months’ continued base salary, payable in periodic installments according to the Company’s regular payroll practices. In addition, Mr. Nuzzo will be entitled to (i) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA coverage for 12 months or until Mr. Nuzzo becomes eligible for coverage under different health insurance, whichever is earlier, (ii) a prorated bonus based on actual performance for the full calendar year (which, if earned, will be paid when other Company executives are paid annual bonus for the applicable year), and (iii) prorated vesting of each then-outstanding equity award held by Mr. Nuzzo based on the time elapsed from the commencement of vesting of such award through the date of termination, and, if applicable, actual performance through the date of termination. If the qualifying termination of Mr. Nuzzo’s employment occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), then the COBRA benefits described above will be provided for 18 months, and, in lieu of the prorated vesting benefits described above, all unvested time-based vesting equity awards then held by Mr. Nuzzo will immediately vest, with any performance-vesting awards to vest based on actual performance through the date of termination.

Mr. Nuzzo has agreed to certain restrictive covenants during the term of his employment and for specified periods following termination, including but not limited to, a 12-month post-termination non-solicit of employees, a mutual and perpetual non-disparagement obligation, a perpetual confidentiality obligation, and invention assignment provisions.

Mr. Nuzzo has also entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company in the form executed with other executives of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Nuzzo Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Nuzzo Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
