On May 9, 2017 Medifast, Inc. (the “Company”) determined to reduce the proposed increase in the number of shares subject to issuance under the Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) from 1,000,000 to 600,000, which will result in a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock being reserved for issuance under the Plan and 696,023 available for issuance under the Plan. The proposed share increase will reduce the potential dilutive impact of the Plan on other stockholders as compared to the originally proposed 1,000,000 share increase. The Plan was also amended to expressly prohibit the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested awards. The Plan, as so amended, remains subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders described below.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, as amended and restated, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
