(e) (i) On May 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of Landec Corporation (the “Registrant”) approved the performance criteria and structure for cash bonuses that may be awarded to employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries, Apio, Inc. (“Apio”) and Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore”), for the 2018 fiscal year. Employees of the Registrant, Apio and Lifecore are eligible to receive cash bonuses in target amounts that range from 40% to 100% of base salary for executive officers and from 6% to 40% of base salary for other employees. 20% of each employee’s bonus target is based on the Registrant, Apio or Lifecore, as the case may be, achieving a specific “all or nothing” strategic goal for that entity. 80% of each employee’s bonus target (the “80% Bonus”) is based on the Registrant, Apio or Lifecore, as the case may be, achieving 100% of that entity’s target revenue and operating income for the 2018 fiscal year. The 80% Bonus payments are calculated on a sliding scale based on actual revenue and operating income for the fiscal year in proportion to the performance targets, provided that no bonus is payable if revenue or operating income is less than 80% of the target amount. To receive any bonus, a participant must be employed by the Registrant, Apio or Lifecore at the end of the 2018 fiscal year. Bonus payments, if any, will be made in single lump sum cash payments as soon as practicable after the end of the Registrant’s 2018 fiscal year.
(ii) On May 24, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an increase in Molly Hemmeter’s salary from $475,000 to $525,000.
