Compensation Arrangements with Executives
Employment Letters
In connection with the foregoing leadership changes, each of Ms. Holt, Mr. Nielsen, and Ms. Lee entered into an employment letter with Beyond setting forth the terms and conditions of their employment.  The employment letters set forth each executive's annual base salary and target annual bonus as follows:  Mr. Nielsen, $900,000 annual base salary and $900,000 annual target bonus; Ms. Holt, $900,000 annual base salary and $900,000 annual target bonus; and Ms. Lee, $600,000 annual base salary and $300,000 annual target bonus.

The foregoing description of the employment letters with each of Mr. Nielsen, Ms. Holt and Ms. Lee are qualified in their entirety by reference to the employment letters, each of which will be filed as exhibits to Beyond's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
2
Performance Share Awards
In addition, effective February 20, 2024, each of Mr. Nielsen, Ms. Holt and Ms. Lee was granted an award of performance shares under Beyond's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), with 75% of the award tied to achievement of specified stock price hurdles and 25% of the award tied to annual net revenue objectives over a three-year performance period.  Each performance share is a unit that represents the right to receive one share of Beyond's common stock.  Each of Mr. Nielsen and Ms. Holt were granted a total of 200,000 performance shares and Ms. Lee was granted a total of 120,000 performance shares.  Of these awards, 100,000 of the performance shares granted to Mr. Nielsen (consisting of the net revenue performance shares and the performance shares tied to the $60.00 stock price hurdle), and 20,000 of the net revenue performance shares granted to Ms. Lee (consisting of the portion of such award tied to 2025 and 2026 performance), are subject to stockholder approval of the 2005 Plan Amendment (as defined below) at Beyond's 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.  In the event such stockholder approval is not obtained, these portions of their performance share awards will be forfeited.
Stock Price Hurdle Performance Metrics.
The stock price hurdle performance shares will be eligible to vest upon the achievement of three separate stock price hurdles during the three-year period following the grant date as follows:
•
$40.00 Stock Price Hurdle: One-third of the performance shares subject to stock price performance will be earned if the average per-share closing price of Beyond's common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $40.00 per share.  The performance shares will vest on the later of (1) the first anniversary of the grant date or (2) the date the price hurdle is achieved during the three-year period following the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date.
•
$50.00 Stock Price Hurdle: One-third of the performance shares subject to stock price performance will be earned if the average per-share closing price of Beyond's common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $50.00 per share.  The performance shares will vest on the later of (1) the second anniversary of the grant date or (2) the date the price hurdle is achieved during the three-year period following the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date.
•
$60.00 Stock Price Hurdle: One-third of the performance shares subject to stock price performance will be earned if the average per-share closing price of Beyond's common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $60.00 per share.  The performance shares will vest on the later of (1) the third anniversary of the grant date or (2) the date the price hurdle is achieved, subject to continued service through the vesting date.
If a stock price hurdle is not achieved within the applicable time frame specified above, the portion of the award tied to such stock price hurdle will be forfeited.
Net Revenue Performance Metrics.
The net revenue performance shares will vest based on Beyond's GAAP net revenue over three years, with one-third of the performance shares eligible to vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service through the vesting date. The GAAP net revenue targets for purposes of the net revenue performance shares are $2 billion for 2024, $2.7 billion for 2025 and $3.4 billion for 2026. To be eligible to vest in any tranche of the performance shares, Beyond must meet the GAAP net revenue goal established by the Board for the applicable year.
For illustrative purposes only, if all the performance requirements of the performance shares granted to Ms. Holt, Mr. Nielsen and Ms. Lee are met together with the service-based vesting requirements and Beyond's common stock increases to $60.00 per share (and, with respect to Mr. Nielsen and Ms. Lee, the requisite stockholder approval is obtained), the shares underlying their performance shares would have an aggregate value of $12,000,000, $12,000,000 and $7,200,000. The foregoing description of the employment letters with each of Mr. Nielsen, Ms. Holt and Ms. Lee and performance share awards are qualified in their entirety by reference to the employment letters and form of performance share award agreement, each of which will be filed as exhibits to Beyond's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Amendment to Beyond, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan
On February 16, 2024, the Board approved an amendment to Beyond's 2005 Plan to increase the annual limit on the number of performance shares that may be issued to any eligible participant to 250,000 performance shares, subject to shareholder approval of such amendment at Beyond's 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2005 Plan Amendment"). For the avoidance of doubt, the 2005 Plan Amendment does not increase the overall share reserve under the 2005 Plan. The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to Beyond's proxy statement for the 2024 annual shareholder meeting.
