  21. Executive Compensation Program Objectives

    Executive Compensation Program Objectives We provide a competitive total compensation package to our executive management team through a combination of base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives and other compensation, as well as severance and change-in-control arrangements. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to: Attract, motivate and retain key employees with outstanding talent and ability; • Align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders; • Reward performance, with a meaningful portion of compensation tied to Company goals; • Promote the creation of long-term stockholder value; and • Structure executive compensation in a manner that promotes our strategic, financial and operating performance objectives, without encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Our compensation elements are designed to achieve the objectives set forth above as follows: • Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain executives by providing regular and continued payments that are appropriate for their position, experience and responsibilities; • Annual performance-based awards are designed to focus our executives on objectives each year that are generally operational and drive specific performance needed to achieve short-term targets that are part of our long-term growth and profitability goals; • Long-term incentives are designed to align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders and to motivate executives to generate value for our stockholders over the long term; and • Severance and change-in-control arrangements are designed to mitigate the distraction of our key executives when faced with a potential change in control or other possible termination situations and to facilitate our ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented individuals in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered.

  22. Target Annual Compensation Mix

    Target Annual Compensation Mix The following chart shows the mix of fixed and at risk target annual compensation for our NEOs, other than our interim CEO, who were employed at June 30, 2025 as a group (Messrs. Boyce, Goldenitsch and Marquardt and Ms. Meringolo). Fixed compensation represents annual base salaries in effect for fiscal year 2025. At risk compensation is comprised of target annual cash bonuses under our Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP“) and the annual target value of the NEOs’ awards under the 2025-2027 Long-Term Incentive Program. The compensation packages for each of our current interim CEO and our former CEO are described elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

  23. Benchmarking / Peer Group

    Benchmarking / Peer Group A key objective of our executive compensation program is to ensure that total direct compensation is competitive with the companies against which we compete for talent. The Compensation Committee uses compensation data from a peer group as general guidance and as one of many factors that inform its judgment of appropriate compensation parameters for target compensation levels. When using peer group data, the Compensation Committee references the 50th percentile, recognizing that the specific positioning for each NEO is determined on a case-by-case basis considering multiple factors. Each year, the Compensation Committee evaluates its previously-selected peer group and determines which companies best reflect the Company’s competitors for talent. In advance of fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of ClearBridge, evaluated the Company’s peer group to be used in connection with fiscal year 2025 compensation determinations. The Compensation Committee and ClearBridge evaluated existing peer group companies and potential new peer group companies with respect to enterprise value, revenue and industry. Specifically, they considered a revenue range of approximately 1/2x to 2x the Company’s revenue and an enterprise value range of approximately 1/5x to 5x the Company’s enterprise value, with flexibility applied on the end points to accommodate peers that are a good match from a business perspective and/or to ensure a sufficient number of peers. The Compensation Committee determined to remove Hostess Brands, Inc. and Sovos Brands, Inc. from the peer group for fiscal year 2025 based on this review and given their respective acquisitions in fiscal year 2024. Accordingly, our peer group for fiscal year 2025 was established as follows:

  24. Benchmarking / Peer Group

    | Fiscal Year 2025 Peer Group | | | • B&G Foods, Inc. | • The Marzetti Company (formerly known as Lancaster Colony Corporation) | | • BellRing Brands, Inc. | • Post Holdings, Inc. | | • Edgewell Personal Care Company | • The Simply Good Foods Company | | • Flowers Foods, Inc. | • TreeHouse Foods, Inc. | | • J&J Snack Foods Corp. | • Utz Brands, Inc. |

  25. Annual Incentive Plan

    Annual Incentive Plan A key executive compensation objective is to have a majority of each NEO’s compensation be tied to the Company’s performance. To this end, the Company’s AIP, administered by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Plan, is based on performance against key financial objectives designed to drive the specific performance needed to foster the Company’s growth and profitability. The Compensation Committee established the AIP for fiscal year 2025 (the “2025 AIP”) to provide the NEOs and other executives with the opportunity to earn a cash bonus based on the following calculation:

  26. Annual Incentive Plan

    | Target AIP Opportunity 120% of annual base salary for CEO* 60% to 80% of annual base salary for other NEOs | × | Company Payout Percentage 0% to 150% Based on Company performance against financial objectives in specified performance measures | × | Individual Modifier (for NEOs other than CEO) 0% to 150% Based on Compensation Committee review of individual performance Cannot increase payout above 200% of target |

  27. Annual Incentive Plan

  31. Company Payout Percentages and Performance Measures

    Company Payout Percentages and Performance Measures For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee determined to maintain the 2025 AIP with two objective financial metrics (adjusted EBITDA and organic net sales, defined as net sales adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories).

  32. Company Payout Percentages and Performance Measures

    | Performance Measure | Weighting | | Adjusted EBITDA | 50% | | Organic net sales | 50% |

  33. Company Payout Percentages and Performance Measures

    Based on the Company’s budget for fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee established a range of goals for adjusted EBITDA and organic net sales and the associated payout percentages with respect to the 2025 AIP. In developing the goals, the Compensation Committee carefully evaluated then-current and expected business conditions, including factors such as (1) increasing market competition for our products, (2) supply chain pressures, and (3) our evolving business strategy. The target goal for adjusted EBITDA was set at $164.6 million, 6.5% above fiscal year 2024 performance. After adjustments for items excluded from organic net sales during the year, the target goal for organic net sales was $1,637.7 million, 6.0% above fiscal year 2024 organic net sales performance. The Compensation Committee determined that the fiscal year 2025 target goals were rigorous and challenging in light of then-current business conditions. For adjusted EBITDA, threshold goals were established at 90% of target and maximum goals were established at 110% of target. For organic net sales, threshold goals were established at 95% of target and maximum goals were established at 105% of target. For each measure, potential payouts range from 0% for performance below the threshold goal, to 50% of target for achievement of the threshold goal, to 150% of target for achievement of the maximum goal. For Company performance between specifically enumerated goals, the payout percentage is interpolated on a straight-line basis. Adjusted EBITDA goals and performance reflect performance after taking into account 2025 AIP payouts, such that the AIP is self-funding. As such, if threshold payouts under the 2025 AIP would cause actual performance to fall below the threshold goal, then the threshold payout is not earned. For each measure, the goals and associated payout percentages for our NEOs are set forth below, along with the baseline fiscal year 2024 performance.

  34. Company Payout Percentages and Performance Measures

    | Adjusted EBITDA (50% Weight) | | | | Organic Net Sales (50% Weight) | | | | | Baseline Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year 2025 Goals | | | Baseline Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year 2025 Goals | | | | 2024 Performance ($) | Threshold Goal (50% Payout) ($) | Target Goal (100% Payout) ($) | Maximum Goal (150% Payout) ($) | 2024 Performance ($) | Threshold Goal (50% Payout) ($) | Target Goal (100% Payout) ($) | Maximum Goal (150% Payout) ($) | | 154.5 million | 148.1 million | 164.6 million | 181.1 million | 1,544.6 million | 1,555.8 million | 1,637.7 million | 1,719.6 million |

  35. Fiscal Year 2025 AIP Payout Determination

    Fiscal Year 2025 AIP Payout Determination On September 15, 2025, the Company reported fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $113.8 million and organic net sales of $1,443.6 million. This performance did not meet the threshold goal for either measure, and as a result, there were no payouts to NEOs under the 2025 AIP.

  36. Long-Term Incentive Program

    Long-Term Incentive Program We believe that equity grants serve our compensation objectives by linking the compensation of our key employees to our long-term strategic plan and further align such employees with our stockholders since the value of equity awards will increase or decrease with the changes in the value of our common stock. Grants are generally made under a performance-based long-term incentive program (“LTIP”). Participants in the LTIP include our executive officers and other key employees. Since fiscal year 2022, our LTIP has generally consisted of annual grants of one year’s worth of long-term incentive value, which aligns with typical market practices and provides an ongoing incentive and retention focus for our management team. The Compensation Committee seeks to use a mix of equity award types under the LTIP that provides an appropriate balance among the Company’s objectives of stockholder alignment, pay-for-performance and retention of executives.

  37. No Vesting of Performance Share Units Under 2022-2024 LTIP or 2023-2025 LTIP

    No Vesting of Performance Share Units Under 2022-2024 LTIP or 2023-2025 LTIP The performance period for the 2022-2024 LTIP ended on November 17, 2024, and the performance period for the 2023-2025 LTIP ended on September 6, 2025. Both programs consisted of a mix of (1) time-vested RSUs, (2) performance share units (“PSUs”) based on relative TSR versus the S&P Food & Beverage Select Industry Index over a three-year performance period, and (3) PSUs based on the Company’s absolute compound TSR over a three-year performance period. For both types of PSUs, payouts could range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs, with attainment of the threshold goal resulting in a payout of 50% of the target number of PSUs. Threshold and target goals for the PSUs based on relative TSR were 30thpercentile and 51st percentile, respectively. Threshold and target goals for the PSUs based on absolute TSR were 7.00% and 11.00%, respectively. Based on actual performance during the respective three-year performance periods, no PSUs vested under the 2022-2024 LTIP or the 2023-2025 LTIP.

  38. 2025-2027 LTIP

    2025-2027 LTIP Overview As with our 2024-2026 LTIP awards granted in fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee determined to again use a mix of time-vested RSUs and PSUs for the 2025-2027 LTIP. The use of RSUs ensures that the 2025-2027 LTIP provides some retention value to the NEOs and other key employees, as well as supports the Company’s stockholder alignment objectives. To ensure appropriate performance incentives, the Compensation Committee decided to grant three types of PSUs with a three-year performance period, using each of relative TSR, adjusted EBITDA margin and unlevered free cash flow as metrics. The addition of the latter two metrics was intended to provide a link between compensation and financial measures that were determined to be critical to the Company’s business strategy. It was determined that Ms. Davidson would receive 40% of her 2024-2026 LTIP value in RSUs and 60% of the value in PSUs. The other NEOs who received 2024-2026 LTIP awards would receive 50% of their 2025-2027 LTIP value in RSUs and 50% of the value in PSUs. Of the value received by each NEO in PSUs, 40% would be in PSUs based on relative TSR, 40% would be in PSUs based on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA margin and 20% would be in PSUs based on the Company’s unlevered free cash flow. Awards under the 2025-2027 LTIP were granted in October 2024. The four types of awards granted under the 2025-2027 LTIP consisted of: 1) Time-vested RSUs (the “2025 LTIP RSUs”); 2) PSUs based on the Company’s relative TSR versus the S&P Food & Beverage Select Industry Index over the 2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period, as defined below (the “2025 Relative TSR PSUs”); 3) PSUs based on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA margin over the 2025-2027 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSU Performance Period, as defined below (the “2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs”); and PSUs based on the Company’s unlevered free cash flow over the 2025-2027 Unlevered FCF PSU Performance Period, as defined below (the “2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs”). The performance period for the 2025 Relative TSR PSUs is from October 29, 2024 through October 28, 2027 (the “2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period”). The performance period for the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs is the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 (the “2025-2027 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSU Performance Period”). The performance period for the 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs is the Company’s fiscal years 2025, 2026 and 2027 (the “2025-2027 Unlevered FCF PSU Performance Period”). Terms of 2025-2027 LTIP Awards The terms of the RSU awards under the 2025-2027 LTIP are substantially similar to the terms of the same awards under the 2024-2026 LTIP. The maximum payout of PSU awards under the 2025-2027 LTIP was reduced to 150% from 200% in prior years. The 2025 LTIP RSUs vest one-third (1/3) per year over three years, with vesting dates of October 28, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The 2025 LTIP RSUs provide for accelerated vesting upon death, disability or a termination without cause that occurs within 12 months following a change in control (i.e., double trigger vesting). Payouts under the 2025 Relative TSR PSUs, the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs and the 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs can range from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs based on Company performance over the relevant performance periods, with attainment of the threshold goal resulting in a payout of 50% of the target number of PSUs. In establishing the performance goals, the Compensation Committee analyzed and considered historical market return levels and the Company’s three-year financial objectives in order to support pay-for-performance objectives. The performance goals and potential payouts for the 2025 Relative TSR PSUs, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs and the 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs are shown in the following table. Straight-line interpolation applies between performance levels and payouts.

  40. 2025-2027 LTIP

    For the 2025 Relative TSR PSUs, “total shareholder return” means a company’s TSR during the 2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period, which is calculated as (i) the Company’s average closing share price over the final 20 trading days of the 2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period minus the Company’s closing share price on the day prior to the start of the 2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period, plus reinvested dividends, divided by (ii) the Company’s closing share price on the day prior to the start of the 2025-2027 Relative TSR PSU Performance Period. For the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs, “adjusted EBITDA margin” means the net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of non-GAAP adjustments and calculated as a percentage of net sales, each as reported by the Company for the 2025-2027 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSU Performance Period. For the 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs, “unlevered free cash flow” means the aggregate net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment, plus interest expense, net, plus cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, in each case as reported by the Company during the 2025-2027 Unlevered FCF PSU Performance Period. Vesting of the 2025 Relative TSR PSUs, the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs and the 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs may be accelerated upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, including certain terminations following a change in control, subject to the attainment of the performance goals measured through the date of the applicable acceleration event or earlier change in control. See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” which begins on page 46. Award Amounts The following table shows the details of the number of 2025 LTIP RSUs, 2025 Relative TSR PSUs, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs and 2025 Unlevered FCF PSUs received by the NEOs during fiscal year 2025 as part of the 2025-2027 LTIP, as well as the annual long-term incentive value and allocation among award types used to determine the number of awards received by each NEO.

  43. Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements

    Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements The Compensation Committee believes that severance and change-in-control benefits are important for attracting and retaining executive talent, helping to ensure that NEOs can remain focused during periods of uncertainty and neutralizing the potential conflict of our key executives when faced with a potential change in control. Our form of change-in-control agreement for all NEOs includes market-typical provisions. For a complete description of the severance and change-in-control benefits we have agreed to provide to the NEOs, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” which begins on page 46.

    Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information We do not grant stock options, SARs, or similar option-like instruments to our named executive officers or other employees or service providers. If in the future we anticipate granting stock options, SARs, or similar option-like instruments, we will establish a policy regarding how the Board determines when to grant such awards and how the Board or Compensation Committee will take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such awards. The Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

  52. Fiscal Year 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards

    * Ms. Lewis was appointed Interim President and Chief Executive Officer effective as of May 7, 2025. She was not eligible for an AIP award for fiscal year 2025 and did not receive a grant of equity awards under the 2025-2027 LTIP. For information regarding equity awards received by Ms. Lewis in her capacity as a non-employee director, see “Fiscal Year 2025 Director Compensation” on page 23. ** Ms. Davidson served as President and Chief Executive Officer through May 6, 2025. The treatment of Ms. Davidson’s awards listed in this table upon her departure as President and Chief Executive Officer is described in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” which begins on page 46. † Mr. Marquardt served as President, North America until August 1, 2025. The treatment of Mr. Marquardt’s awards listed in this table upon his departure as President, North America is described in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” which begins on page 46. 1. The grant date fair value of stock awards was calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used by the Company in calculating these amounts are included in Note 2 (under the heading “Stock-Based Compensation”) and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. 2. A one-time grant of RSUs to vest on May 7, 2026 generally subject to Ms. Lewis’ continued employment as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. The amounts shown for AIP awards reflect the threshold, target and maximum cash bonuses that could be earned by each individual under the 2025 AIP. Threshold amounts shown in the table assume achievement of the threshold performance goal for only one of the two metrics under the 2025 AIP. As discussed in the CD&A, the Company did not meet the threshold goal for either performance measure under the 2025 AIP, and as a result there were no payouts to the NEOs under the 2025 AIP. 2025 LTIP RSUs awarded as part of the 2025-2027 LTIP, which are scheduled to vest in three (3) equal annual installments on October 28, 2025, 2026 and 2027. 5. 2025 Relative TSR PSUs awarded as part of the 2025-2027 LTIP, the terms of which are described in the CD&A. 6. 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin PSUs awarded as part of the 2025-2027 LTIP, the terms of which are described in the CD&A. 2025 Unlevered FCF Margin PSUs awarded as part of the 2025-2027 LTIP, the terms of which are described in the CD&A.

  59. Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

    Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control We believe that severance and change-in-control benefits are important for attracting and retaining executive talent, helping to ensure that NEOs can remain focused during periods of uncertainty and neutralizing the potential conflict of our key executives when faced with a potential change in control. In this section, we describe (1) our severance and change-in-control arrangements with the NEOs who remain currently employed with the Company as executive officers and (2) the severance payments and benefits received or to be received by the NEOs who departed the Company in fiscal year 2025. For the NEOs who remain currently employed with the Company, the table below contains estimates of potential payments to the NEOs upon a hypothetical termination of employment or a change in control under current employment arrangements and equity award agreements, assuming the termination or change-in-control event occurred on June 30, 2025. Values of equity awards are included at $1.52 per share, the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2025, and the consideration paid or exchanged in a change-in-control transaction is assumed to be $1.52 per share. We have provided a brief description of the applicable employment arrangements and equity award provisions following the table, including in the footnotes. Definitions for the terms “Disability,” “Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Change in Control” are also summarized below under “Definitions of Applicable Termination Events and Change in Control.” The Company does not have any agreements or arrangements that provide the NEOs with payments or benefits upon a voluntary separation (including retirement) or a termination by the Company for Cause, except for payments and benefits that have accrued through the date of separation or termination.

  61. Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

    1. Cash severance is paid out over a period of time that depends on the amount of the severance obligation in relation to the individual’s annual compensation. Severance of one times the sum of annual base salary and an annual bonus amount is payable over one year and severance of two times the sum of annual base salary and an annual bonus amount is payable over two years. The cash severance amounts for Mr. Goldenitsch have been converted from euros to U.S. dollars using the closing euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2025, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, which was 1 euro equals 1.1789 U.S. dollars. No PSUs held by the NEOs would have vested upon any termination or change-in-control event that occurred on June 30, 2025. To the extent the applicable event could have triggered acceleration of vesting, the threshold goals had not been attained as of that date.

  62. Termination Arrangements

    Termination Arrangements Ms. Lewis’ employment agreement provides that if, prior to May 7, 2026, Ms. Lewis’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without cause, (ii) due to the appointment of a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer or (iii) by Ms. Lewis for Good Reason following a Change in Control (each as defined in her employment agreement), then subject to Ms. Lewis’s execution of a separation agreement and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, including an acknowledgement of the continued effectiveness of post-employment restrictive covenants and other obligations to the Company, a pro-rata portion of the RSUs granted pursuant to the Lewis RSU Award will vest based on the number of days Ms. Lewis is employed from May 7, 2025 to the date of termination. Each of Messrs. Boyce and Goldenitsch and Ms. Meringolo has an agreement or understanding providing them with the right to receive severance if the Company terminates his or her employment without Cause, in an amount equal to one times his or her base salary in effect at the time of termination and one times his or her target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, payable over 12 months following termination. Entitlement to the severance is subject to the execution of a separation agreement and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, including an acknowledgement of the continued effectiveness of post-employment restrictive covenants and other obligations to the Company.

  63. Change-in-Control Agreements

    Change-in-Control Agreements The Company has also entered into Change in Control Agreements with each of Messrs. Boyce and Goldenitsch and Ms. Meringolo. Under the agreements, each individual will be entitled to severance if his or her employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 12 months following a Change in Control. The amount of severance will be two times the sum of his or her base salary and target annual bonus, payable over two years following termination. Entitlement to the severance is subject to (1) the execution of a release in a form provided by the Company releasing the Company from claims with respect to the individual’s employment or termination, (2) the individual’s compliance with the release, including any return of property, non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions, and (3) the individual’s continued compliance with his or her obligations under any continuing provisions in any agreement with the Company relating to confidentiality, assignment of inventions, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-interference or non-disparagement.

  64. PSUs

    PSUs Each of Messrs. Boyce and Goldenitsch and Ms. Meringolo holds PSUs under the LTIP that may be subject to accelerated vesting if, during the applicable three-year performance period, any such NEO’s employment (1) terminates by reason of death or Disability or (2) is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the individual for Good Reason upon or after a Change in Control. In that event, a determination is made as to whether any performance goals under the PSUs were attained, measured through the date of the termination or any earlier Change in Control. If the threshold performance goal was not attained, then no PSUs will vest. If any performance goals were attained, (A) in the event of a termination by reason of death or Disability, the number of units that would have vested based on performance is determined, and that figure is prorated such that the number of units that will vest will be based on the number of days the NEO spent on the active payroll during the applicable three-year performance period, divided by the number of days in the full three-year performance period, and (B) in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause or by the individual for Good Reason upon or after a Change in Control, 100% of the units earned based on performance will vest.

  65. RSUs

    RSUs Each of Messrs. Boyce and Goldenitsch and Ms. Meringolo holds RSUs under the LTIP that provide for accelerated vesting upon death or Disability as well as “double trigger” accelerated vesting upon a termination without Cause that occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control.

  66. Definitions of Applicable Termination Events and Change in Control

    Definitions of Applicable Termination Events and Change in Control The terms “Disability,” “Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Change in Control” have the following meanings for purposes of the agreements and arrangements described above. • Disability – Disability generally means an individual’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. • Cause – For purposes of Ms. Lewis’ employment agreement, the Change in Control Agreements referenced above and the PSU and RSU award agreements referenced above, Cause generally means (a) conviction of a felony, (b) failure to substantially perform reasonably assigned duties for 30 days after written notice, (c) theft or embezzlement of Company assets, (d) conduct materially harmful to the public reputation of the Company, (e) any act of dishonesty, fraud, or immoral or disreputable conduct, (f) willful misconduct in the performance of duties or (g) the material breach of any covenant or condition of the individual’s employment agreement, offer letter or other agreement with the Company, or a breach of the individual’s fiduciary duty to the Company or any subsidiary.

  67. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio As required by SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the annual total compensation of our CEO and the annual total compensation of our median employee (our “CEO pay ratio”). Our CEO pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules.

  68. Fiscal Year 2025 CEO Pay Ratio Determination

    Fiscal Year 2025 CEO Pay Ratio Determination In determining our CEO pay ratio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we concluded there were no changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact our CEO pay ratio disclosure. Accordingly, as permitted under the SEC’s disclosure rules, we are using the same median employee with respect to our fiscal year 2025 CEO pay ratio calculation as we used for purposes of our fiscal year 2023 pay ratio calculation. Our median employee is a full-time employee located in Europe with annual total compensation of $75,651 for fiscal year 2025, using the closing euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2025, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, which was 1 euro equals 1.1789 U.S. dollars. For purposes of calculating our CEO pay ratio, our CEO’s annual total compensation for fiscal year 2025 was $2,100,757, which represents an annualized amount in light of the CEO transition in fiscal year 2025. As permitted by SEC rules, we elected to annualize the compensation of Ms. Lewis, who was serving as interim CEO on June 30, 2025, the date we selected to determine to identity the median employee. We did not include compensation paid to Ms. Lewis in connection with her service as a non-employee director prior to her appointment as our interim CEO. To annualize Ms. Lewis’ compensation:

  69. Fiscal Year 2025 CEO Pay Ratio Determination

    | • | we annualized her base salary to $1,200,000 (from the $175,385 reported in the Summary Compensation Table); and | | • | we annualized her employee benefit for life and other insurance premiums to $757 (from the $112 reported in the Summary Compensation Table). |

  70. Fiscal Year 2025 CEO Pay Ratio Determination

    Based on this information, the ratio of CEO annual total compensation to the median employee compensation for fiscal year 2025 was estimated to be 28 to 1.

  71. Pay Versus Performance

    Pay Versus Performance As required by SEC rules, we are providing the following “pay versus performance” disclosure centered around a measure of pay referred to as “compensation actually paid” or “CAP” that is calculated in accordance with SEC rules. For our purposes, the primary difference between CAP and “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table relates to compensation from equity awards. Whereas the Summary Compensation Table reports the grant date fair value of equity awards granted during the applicable fiscal year, CAP includes the year-over-year change in the fair value of equity awards that are unvested as of the end of the applicable fiscal year or that vested or were forfeited during the applicable fiscal year. As further detailed below, the below pay versus performance disclosure includes: • A pay versus performance table and footnoted detail that includes the “Total” compensation of our NEOs as presented in the Summary Compensation Table, CAP for our NEOs, Company TSR, TSR of a peer group, net income (loss) and our Company-selected financial performance measure, adjusted EBITDA, in each case for fiscal years 2021 through 2025; • Graphs that show the relationships between certain of the information included in the pay versus performance table; and • A list of the most important performance measures used to link CAP for the NEOs to Company performance during fiscal year 2025. This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with SEC rules and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by our NEOs or how our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions. Please see the CD&A for a discussion of our executive compensation program objectives and the ways in which we align our executives’ compensation with the Company’s performance.

  72. Pay Versus Performance Table

    Pay Versus Performance Table The following table shows, for fiscal years 2021 through 2025, the “Total” compensation of our current and former CEOs and the average “Total” compensation for our other NEOs, as presented in the Summary Compensation Table, CAP for our current and former CEOs and the average CAP for other NEOs, Company TSR, TSR of the S&P Food & Beverage Select Industry Index, net income (loss) and our Company selected financial performance measure, adjusted EBITDA.

  76. Pay Versus Performance Table

    a. The following components of the calculation of “compensation actually paid” under SEC rules were not applicable: adjustments for defined benefit and actuarial pension plans; additions for equity awards that were both granted and vested during the same fiscal year; and additions for the value of dividends or other earnings paid on equity awards during the fiscal year and not otherwise included in the total compensation for the fiscal year. b. For all equity awards, our methodology for calculating the fair value remained consistent between the grant date fair value measurement and the subsequent fair value measurements, provided that certain changes to assumptions are reflected in subsequent fair value measurements of certain PSU awards. Fair values for PSU awards that are based on relative TSR are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, as described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. For both the Company and constituents of the peer group used for PSU awards based on relative TSR, actual performance through the measurement date is taken into account. Additionally, the Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of certain assumptions, which include assumptions relating to expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and correlation coefficients, which factors inherently change over time. For PSU awards based on adjusted EBITDA margin and unlevered free cash flow, fair value is determined based on the target number of PSUs and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date without adjustment for the probability of achieving the applicable performance targets. 5. The amounts shown in this column reflect, for each applicable fiscal year, the average of the amounts reported in the Total column of the Summary Compensation Table for the Company’s named executive officers other than the CEO. The named executive officers included for this purpose for each applicable year are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2025, Lee A. Boyce, Wolfgang Goldenitsch, Kristy M. Meringolo and Chad D. Marquardt (former); (ii) for fiscal year 2024, Lee A. Boyce, Wolfgang Goldenitsch, Steven R. Golliher, Kristy M. Meringolo and Christopher J. Bellairs (former); (iii) for fiscal year 2023, Wolfgang Goldenitsch, Kristy M. Meringolo, Christopher J. Bellairs (former) and David J. Karch (former); (iv) for fiscal year 2022, Christopher J.

The amounts shown in this column reflect, for each applicable fiscal year, the average amount of “compensation actually paid” as calculated under SEC rules to the Company’s named executive officers other than the CEO. The named executive officers included for this purpose for fiscal year 2025 are Lee A. Boyce, Wolfgang Goldenitsch, Kristy M. Meringolo and Chad D. Marquardt (former). The following table shows the calculation for fiscal year 2025.

    a. The following components of the calculation of “compensation actually paid” under SEC rules were not applicable: adjustments for defined benefit and actuarial pension plans; additions for equity awards that were both granted and vested during the same fiscal year; and additions for the value of dividends or other earnings paid on equity awards during the fiscal year and not otherwise included in the total compensation for the fiscal year. For all equity awards, our methodology for calculating the fair value remained consistent between the grant date fair value measurement and the subsequent fair value measurements, provided that certain changes to assumptions are reflected in subsequent fair value measurements of certain PSU awards. Fair values for PSU awards that are based on relative TSR are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, as described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. For both the Company and constituents of the peer group used for PSU awards based on relative TSR, actual performance through the measurement date is taken into account. Additionally, the Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of certain assumptions, which include assumptions relating to expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and correlation coefficients, which factors inherently change over time. For PSU awards based on adjusted EBITDA margin and unlevered free cash flow, fair value is determined based on the target number of PSUs and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date without adjustment for the probability of achieving the applicable performance targets. The amounts shown in the column reflect the cumulative TSR on our common stock during the period from June 30, 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming an investment of $100 in our common stock as of the market close on June 30, 2020. 8. The amounts shown in the column reflect the cumulative TSR of the S&P Food & Beverage Select Industry Index, the published industry index used in the performance graph included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, during the period from June 30, 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming an investment of $100 as of the market close on June 30, 2020. 9. Represents the amount of net income (loss) reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for each applicable fiscal year. Represents the amount of adjusted EBITDA reported by the Company for each applicable fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA is the measure selected by the Company under SEC rules as the most important performance measure used to link CAP for the NEOs to Company performance during fiscal year 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A to this proxy statement for additional information on adjusted EBITDA.

  81. Factors Considered by the Board in Determining the Proposed Additional Share Pool

    Factors Considered by the Board in Determining the Proposed Additional Share Pool We are committed to using equity incentive awards prudently, within reasonable limits, and subject to performance and service-based vesting requirements. In determining the proposed Additional Share Pool, the Board considered several factors, including the potential dilutive effect of equity awards already outstanding under the Company’s equity compensation plans, the Company’s historical equity usage and the expected dilution of the Additional Share Pool, to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate dilutive impact of the overall Plan including the proposed Additional Share Pool.

  83. Overview

    Overview The Amended Plan provides for the grant to eligible employees, directors, consultants and other service providers of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance share units and other Share-based awards (the “Awards”). Each Share subject to an Award (other than a stock option or a SAR) granted under the Amended Plan is counted as 2.00 Shares against the Amended Plan Share reserve. Awards may be granted alone or in tandem with any other Award.

  84. Stock Options

    Stock Options A stock option is the right to acquire Shares at a fixed exercise price for a fixed period of time. Under the Amended Plan, the Committee may grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (which entitle employees to more favorable tax treatment) and/or nonqualified stock options. All of the Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Amended Plan may be granted as ISOs. The Committee is authorized to set the terms relating to a stock option, including exercise price, which will not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant, the time and method of exercise, the form of payment of the exercise price and the method of delivery of the Shares. The term of an Option will not exceed ten years from the date of grant. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Once granted, the exercise price of a stock option may not be repriced without stockholder approval. Further, once granted, a stock option may not be exchanged (except in the case of a corporate transaction or event that is subject to the anti-dilution provisions of the Amended Plan), as such an exchange would be considered to be a repricing and would therefore require stockholder approval.

  85. Restricted Stock and Restricted Share Units

    Restricted Stock and Restricted Share Units An Award of restricted stock entitles the holder thereof to Shares, subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose. Such restrictions will lapse under circumstances as the Committee may determine, including upon the achievement of performance criteria referred to below. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, holders of restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote restricted stock and, upon or following vesting of the restricted stock, to receive dividends thereon, and unvested restricted stock will be forfeited upon termination of service during the applicable restriction period. An RSU entitles the holder thereof to receive Shares or cash at the end of a specified deferral period. RSUs are also subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose. Such restrictions will lapse under circumstances as the Committee may determine, including upon the achievement of performance criteria referred to below. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, RSUs subject to deferral or restriction (and any dividend equivalents thereon) will be forfeited upon termination of employment during any applicable deferral or restriction period.

  86. Performance Shares and Performance Share Units

    Performance Shares and Performance Share Units Performance shares and performance share units provide for future issuance of Shares, payment of cash or a combination thereof, to the recipient upon the attainment of corporate performance goals established by the Committee over specified performance periods. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, performance shares and performance share units will be forfeited upon termination of service during any applicable performance period. Prior to payment of performance shares or performance share units, the Committee must certify in writing that the performance objectives were satisfied. Performance objectives may vary from person to person and will be based upon one or more of the following performance criteria as the Committee may deem appropriate: TSR; TSR relative to an industry or other index; Share price; earnings per Share; return to shareholders (including dividends); return on equity; revenues; sales; sales by category, brand, territory or geography; unit growth; customer growth (including new customers and increased sales to existing customers); EBITDA or EBIT; operating income or operating profit; net income; gross margin; operating margin; return on capital or return on invested capital; economic value added; economic profit; cash flows; cash flow from operations; market share; inventory levels; inventory days outstanding; consumption; size of line in total or by category or type; consumer and strategic investments; strategic plan implementation or other strategic measures; advertising, brand and product innovation; research and development; costs; managing commodity costs; capital expenditures; working capital; net fixed assets; accounts receivable; days sales outstanding; period overhead; expenses; productivity; market capitalization; customer satisfaction; pro forma net income; return on designated assets; expenses; free cash flow; cash flow return on investment; net profit margin; cash conversion cycle; service levels; and sustainability measures. The performance objectives may be determined by reference to the performance of the Company, or of a subsidiary or affiliate, or of a division or unit of any of the foregoing. Performance periods may overlap. The Committee may revise performance objectives if significant events occur during the performance period which the Committee expects to have a substantial effect on such objectives. Performance shares or performance share units may be paid in Shares, cash or a combination of Shares and cash either as a lump sum payment or in installments, as determined by the Committee.

  87. Change in Control

    Change in Control The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise that, in the event of a change in control, as defined in the Amended Plan, all outstanding Awards will become fully exercisable or vested or that all restrictions will lapse. The Committee may also (x) cancel such Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee), (y) provide for substitute awards that will substantially preserve the terms of any affected Awards to be issued or (z) provide that for a period of at least 15 days prior to the change in control, any Options or SARs will be fully exercisable and will terminate upon the occurrence of the change in control.

  88. Stock Options

    Stock Options In general, the grant of a stock option will not be a taxable event to the recipient and it will not result in a deduction to us. The tax consequences associated with the exercise of a stock option and the subsequent disposition of Shares acquired on the exercise of such option depend on whether the stock option is a nonqualified stock option or an ISO. Upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary taxable income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares at the date of exercise over the exercise price. We will generally be entitled to a deduction in an equivalent amount. Any gain or loss upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the Shares will be capital gain or loss, long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period for the Shares. Generally, a participant will not recognize ordinary taxable income at the time of exercise of an ISO and no deduction will be available to us, provided the option is exercised while the participant is an employee or within three months following termination of employment (longer, in the case of disability or death). If an ISO granted under the Amended Plan is exercised after these periods, the exercise will be treated for federal income tax purposes as the exercise of a nonqualified stock option. If Shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO are sold or exchanged more than one year after the date of exercise and more than two years after the date of grant of the option, any gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss. If Shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO are disposed of prior to the expiration of these one-year or two-year holding periods (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of disposition, and we will generally be able to claim a deduction, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares at the date of exercise over the exercise price. Any additional gain to the participant will be treated as capital gain, long-term or short-term, depending on how long the Shares have been held. Where Shares are sold or exchanged in a Disqualifying Disposition (other than certain related party transactions) for an amount less than their fair market value at the date of exercise, any ordinary income recognized in connection with the Disqualifying Disposition will be limited to the amount of gain, if any, recognized in the sale or exchange, and any loss will be a long-term or short-term capital loss, depending on how long the Shares have been held. If an option is exercised through the use of Shares previously owned by the participant, such exercise generally will not be considered a taxable disposition of the previously owned Shares and, thus, no gain or loss will be recognized with respect to such previously owned Shares upon such exercise. The amount of any built-in gain on the previously owned Shares generally will not be recognized until the new Shares acquired on the option exercise are disposed of in a sale or other taxable transaction. Although the exercise of an ISO as described above would not produce ordinary taxable income to the participant, it would result in an increase in the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability. As of June 30, 2025, no options have been granted under the 2022 Plan.

  89. Restricted Stock

    Restricted Stock A participant who receives restricted stock will generally recognize ordinary income at the time that they “vest” (i.e., either when they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or when they are freely transferable). The amount of ordinary income so recognized will generally be the fair market value of the common stock at the time the restricted stock vests, less the amount, if any, paid for the stock. This amount is generally deductible for federal income tax purposes by us. Dividends paid with respect to unvested restricted stock will be ordinary compensation income to the participant at the time of payment (and generally deductible by us). Any gain or loss upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the Shares, measured by the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the restricted stock vests, will be capital gain or loss, long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period for the Shares. The holding period for this purpose will begin on the date following the date the restricted stock vests. In lieu of the treatment described above, a participant may elect immediate recognition of income under Section 83(b) of the Code. In such event, the participant will recognize as income the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time of grant (determined without regard to any restrictions other than restrictions which by their terms will never lapse), and we will generally be entitled to a corresponding deduction. Dividends paid with respect to shares as to which a proper Section 83(b) election has been made will not be deductible to us. If a Section 83(b) election is made and the restricted stock is subsequently forfeited, the participant will not be entitled to any offsetting tax deduction. Any gain or loss upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the Shares, measured by the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the shares were granted, will be capital gain or loss, long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period for the Shares. The holding period for this purpose will begin on the date the restricted stock was granted to the participant.

  90. SARs and Other Awards

    SARs and Other Awards With respect to SARs, RSUs, performance shares, performance share units and other Awards under the Amended Plan not described above, generally, when a participant receives payment with respect to any such Award granted to him or her under the Amended Plan, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any other property received will be ordinary income to such participant and will be allowed as a deduction for federal income tax purposes to us.

  91. Recommendation of the Board

    Recommendation of the Board The Board believes that approval of the Amendment is in our best interest, as well as the best interest of our stockholders and employees, because the granting of equity awards promotes the convergence of long-term interests between our key employees and our stockholders, as the value of such awards granted will increase or decrease with the value of our common stock. In addition, the ability to grant Awards will assist us in continuing to attract and retain the services of outstanding management and will enable us to use this type of long-term incentive compensation at levels commensurate with our peers while conserving our cash resources. The Board approved the adoption of the Amendment. In the event the stockholders fail to approve the Amendment as proposed, the 2022 Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms, with no change to the applicable number of Shares authorized for issuance.

  96. Non-GAAP Measures Under the 2025 AIP

    Non-GAAP Measures Under the 2025 AIP For purposes of the 2025 AIP, performance measurement neutralizes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations by using the same exchange rates used for the Company’s fiscal year 2025 budget. Accordingly, both adjusted EBITDA and organic net sales as calculated under the 2025 AIP are non-GAAP financial measures and are different than reported figures. Additional information regarding organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA is provided below, as we have provided additional disclosures in this proxy statement regarding those measures.

  100. Appendix B-2 – The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan

    (a) Subject to the counting mechanics and adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) and 4(e) hereof, the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan shall be 9,200,000, less one Share for each Share subject to an award granted under the Prior Plan or the Company’s 2019 Equity Inducement Award Program with a grant date after September 30, 2022. No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to which such Award relates, when added to the number of Shares previously issued under the Plan, exceeds the number of Shares reserved under the preceding sentence. Subject to the counting mechanics and adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) and 4(e) hereof, if (i) any Awards granted under this Plan, (ii) any Prior Plan Awards or (iii) any awards granted under the Company’s 2019 Equity Inducement Award Program are forfeited, canceled or terminated, in each case, without a distribution of the entire number of Shares underlying such award or payment of other consideration to the Participant, then any Shares previously underlying such award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation or termination, again be (or become, as applicable) available for Awards under the Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards, such related Awards shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised. (b) Each Share subject to an Award (other than an Option or SAR) shall count as 2.00 Shares for the purposes of the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan described in Section 4(a) above. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (i) shares tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of an Option shall not be added back to the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan described in Section 4(a) above; (ii) shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation shall not be added back to the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan described in Section 4(a) above; (iii) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of an Option shall not be added to the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan described in Section 4(a) above; and (iv) all shares covered by a SAR, to the extent that it is exercised and whether or not the Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. (d) The maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted during a fiscal year to any Director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such Director during the fiscal year, shall not exceed $700,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes and excluding, for this purpose, the value of any dividend equivalent payments paid pursuant to any Award granted in a previous fiscal year). (e) In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend in Shares, recapitalization, Share split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems appropriate and, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares which may thereafter be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares, other securities or other consideration issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, however, in each case that, with respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(a) of the Code, unless the Committee determines otherwise. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria and performance objectives, if any, included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. (f) Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares including Shares acquired by purchase in the open market or in private transactions. 5. Specific Terms of Awards. (a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 8(d)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture of Awards or continued exercisability of Awards in the event of termination of service by the Participant. (b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options, which may be NQSOs or ISOs, to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date such Option is granted. (ii) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be a maximum of ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Option. (iii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including, without limitation, upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid (including, without limitation, broker-assisted exercise arrangements), the form of such payment (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, or other property), and the methods by which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. (iv) ISOs. All of the Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under Section 4(a) of the Plan may be granted as ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, including but not limited to the requirement that the ISO shall be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date of adoption or stockholder approval of the Plan. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or a Subsidiary. (c) SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs (Share Appreciation Rights) to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: (i) Right to Payment. A SAR shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive with respect to each Share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right, the Fair Market Value of one Share at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over (2) the exercise price per Share of the SAR on the date of grant of the SAR, which shall not be less than Fair Market Value (which in the case of a SAR granted in tandem with an Option, shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option). (ii) SAR Term. The term of each SAR shall be a maximum of ten (10) years from the date of grant of the SAR.

  101. Appendix B-2 – The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan

    (iii) Other Terms. The Committee shall determine, at the time of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a SAR (1) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter and (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time of grant of the related ISO. (d) Restricted Shares. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: (i) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including, without limitation, upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee), in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Shares, an Eligible Person granted Restricted Shares shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Shares, but subject to Section 6(a) with respect to dividends. If the lapse of restrictions is conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria, the Committee shall select the criterion or criteria from the list of criteria set forth in Section 5(f)(i). (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, at the date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Shares and any accrued but unpaid dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Shares will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Shares. (iii) Certificates for Shares. Restricted Shares granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine, including in book entry form. If certificates representing Restricted Shares are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, and the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate. (e) RSUs. The Committee is authorized to grant RSUs to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Shares or cash, as the case may be, will occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for RSUs by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). In addition, RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, if any (including, without limitation, the achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee), at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier or later specified times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. If the lapse of restrictions is conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria, the Committee shall select the criterion or criteria from the list of criteria set forth in Section 5(f)(i). (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply (as provided in the Award Agreement evidencing the RSUs), or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Shares or cash to which such RSUs relate, all RSUs that are at that time subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to RSUs will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of RSUs. (f) Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares or Performance Share Units or both to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: (i) Performance Period. The Committee shall determine a performance period (the “Performance Period”) in its discretion and shall determine the performance objectives for grants of Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. Performance objectives may vary from Participant to Participant and shall be based upon one or more of the following performance criteria as the Committee may deem appropriate: total shareholder return; total shareholder return relative to an industry or other index; share price; earnings per share; return to shareholders (including dividends); return on equity; revenues; sales; sales by category, brand, territory or geography; unit growth; customer growth (including new customers and increased sales to existing customers); EBITDA or EBIT; operating income or operating profit; net income; gross margin; operating margin; return on capital or return on invested capital; economic value added; economic profit; cash flows; cash flow from operations; market share; inventory levels; inventory days outstanding; consumption; size of line in total or by category or type; consumer and strategic investments; strategic plan implementation or other strategic measures; advertising, brand and product innovation; research and development; costs; managing commodity costs; capital expenditures; working capital; net fixed assets; accounts receivable; days sales outstanding; period overhead; expenses; productivity; market capitalization; customer satisfaction; pro forma net income; return on designated assets; expenses; free cash flow; cash flow return on investment; net profit margin; cash conversion cycle; service levels; and environmental, social and governance (ESG) measures. The performance objectives may be determined by reference to the performance of the Company, or of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of a division or unit of any of the foregoing. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Share Units for which different Performance Periods are prescribed. (ii) Award Value. With respect to any Performance Period, the Committee shall determine for each Participant or group of Participants with respect to that Performance Period the range of number of Shares or dollar values, which may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance or other criteria specified by the Committee and which shall be paid to a Participant if the relevant measure of Company performance for the Performance Period is met. (iii) Significant Events. If during the course of a Performance Period there shall occur significant events as determined by the Committee which the Committee expects to have a substantial effect on a performance objective during such period, the Committee may revise such objective.

    (iv) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, at the date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service during the applicable Performance Period, Performance Shares and Performance Share Units for which the Performance Period was prescribed shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in an individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Performance Shares and Performance Share Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. (v) Payment. Each Performance Share or Performance Share Unit may be paid in whole Shares, or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash either as a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee shall determine, at the time of grant of the Performance Share or Performance Share Unit or otherwise, commencing as soon as practicable after the end of the relevant Performance Period. (g) Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, unrestricted shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, purchase rights for Shares, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at date of grant or thereafter. Shares delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 5(g) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, shall also be authorized pursuant to this Section 5(g). 6. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. (a) Dividends / Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to pay or grant dividends or Dividend Equivalents to Participants in connection with Awards, payable in cash, Shares, or other property; provided, however, that any such dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid only to the extent the underlying Award is vested or otherwise not subject to restrictions, regardless of whether or not such vesting or restrictions are contingent upon continued employment, the achievement of performance goals, or both. For the avoidance of doubt, the accrual of dividends or Dividend Equivalent amounts that become payable upon vesting is permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents may not be granted in connection with, or related to, an Option or a SAR. The Committee may provide that dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed upon vesting of or the lapse of all restrictions under the applicable Award or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or entitle the Participant to additional Awards, as the Committee may specify; provided, however, that dividends and Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to all vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to the underlying Awards. (b) Stand-Alone, Additional, and Tandem. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted to Eligible Persons either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan or agreement of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate. (c) Substitute Awards in Transactions. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Committee to grant Awards under the Plan in connection with the acquisition, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or other transaction, of the business or assets of any corporation or other entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may grant Awards under the Plan to an employee or director of another corporation or other entity who becomes an Eligible Person by reason of any such transaction in substitution for awards previously granted by such corporation or entity to such employee or director. The terms and conditions of the substitute Awards may vary from the terms and conditions that would otherwise be required by the Plan solely to the extent the Committee deems necessary for such purpose. (d) Term of Awards. The term of each Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any Option or a SAR exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or such shorter period as may be applicable under Section 422 of the Code). (e) Repricing Prohibited. Subject to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in Section 4(d) hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, neither the Committee nor the Board shall cause the amendment of an Option or SAR that would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or SAR previously granted under the Plan, the cancellation or exchange of an Option or SAR for cash, other awards, or an Option or SAR with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option or SAR or otherwise approve any modification to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a “repricing” of such Option or SAR under any then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements. (f) Form of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments, subject to applicable law. (g) Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable by a Participant except (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution (except pursuant to a Beneficiary designation) or (ii) with respect to NQSOs, by gift (for no consideration) to a family member of the Participant to the extent permitted in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative unless it has been transferred by gift to a family member of the Participant, in which case it shall be exercisable only by such transferee. For the purpose of this provision, a “family member” shall have the meaning set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A Participant’s rights under the Plan may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to claims of the Participant’s creditors.

  103. Appendix B-2 – The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan

    (h) Repayment. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an accounting error included in a report on Form 10-Q or 10-K caused by the misconduct of a Participant, the Participant shall return to the Company, or forfeit if not paid, any Award arising out of the misconduct for or during such restated period. Additionally, any Awards granted under the Plan may be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent required by applicable law or listed company rules or to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement at the time of grant or pursuant to the Company’s clawback or recoupment policy as in effect from time to time. (i) Noncompetition and Other Restrictive Covenants. The Committee may, by way of the Award Agreements or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any Award, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan, including, without limitation, the requirement that the Participant not engage in competition with the Company and the requirement that the Participant comply with certain other restrictive covenants. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, (A) if determined by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any outstanding Awards then held by Participants which are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions may automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to such Change in Control and (B) the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, (x) cancel such Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) which, in the case of Options and SARs, may equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Options or SARs (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options or SARs) over the aggregate Option Price of such Options or the aggregate exercise price of such SARs, as the case may be, or (y) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or (z) provide that for a period of at least 15 days prior to the Change in Control, any Options or SARs shall be exercisable as to all Shares subject thereto and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. 8. General Provisions. (a) Compliance with Legal and Trading Requirements. The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards thereunder, and the other obligations of the Company under the Plan and any Award Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award until completion of such stock exchange or market system listing or registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. No provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to obligate the Company to register any Shares under federal, state or foreign law. The Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to such other restrictions on transfer as determined by the Committee. (b) No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any employee, consultant, or director the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate any employee’s, consultant’s or director’s employment or service at any time. (c) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations or to facilitate for such payment through a “sell to cover” instruction with respect to Shares otherwise deliverable to a Participant; provided, however, that the amount of tax withholding to be satisfied by withholding Shares shall be limited to the minimum amount of taxes (or such higher rates of up to maximum applicable withholding rates as may be permitted by the Committee), including employment taxes, required to be withheld under applicable Federal, state and local law. (d) Amendment. The Board may at any time and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan. The Board may seek the approval of any amendment or modification by the Company’s stockholders to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its discretion for purposes of compliance with Section 422 of the Code, the listing requirements of the applicable exchange or securities market or for any other purpose. Except as may be required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, no amendment or modification of the Plan or any Award shall adversely affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of the Award. (e) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Eligible Person or employee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants and employees. No Award shall confer on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are duly issued or transferred to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award. (f) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property pursuant to any Award, which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant.

  104. Appendix B-2 – The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan

    (g) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of options and other awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases. (h) Not Compensation for Benefit Plans. No Award payable under this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company for the benefit of its employees, consultants or directors unless the Company shall determine otherwise. (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated. (j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of New York without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws thereof. (k) Effective Date; Plan Termination. The Plan will become effective on November 17, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), conditioned upon the approval of the stockholders of the Company on such date. The Plan shall terminate as to future awards on the date which is ten (10) years after the Effective Date. (l) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only. In the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. (m) Section 409A. It is intended that the Plan and Awards issued thereunder will comply with Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder) to the extent the Awards are subject thereto, and the Plan and such Awards shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. The Plan and any Award Agreements issued thereunder may be amended in any respect deemed by the Board or the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
