NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Farmer Bros. Co., a Delaware corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” or “Farmer Bros.”), is a leading coffee roaster, wholesaler, equipment servicer and distributor of coffee, tea and other allied products. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, from small independent restaurants and foodservice operators to large institutional buyers like restaurant, department and convenience store retailers, hotels, casinos, healthcare facilities, and gourmet coffee houses, as well as grocery chains with private brand and consumer-branded coffee and tea products, and foodservice distributors.
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed its sale of certain assets of the Company related to its direct ship and private label business, including the Company’s production facility and corporate office building in Northlake, Texas (the "Sale"). The Sale and the related direct ship and private label operations are reported in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations for more information related to the Sale and the discontinued operations. All other footnotes present results of the continuing operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and the Form 10-K/A filed on October 27, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts disclosed in 2022 have been reclassified to conform with the discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits), derivative instruments and trade receivables.
The Company does not have any credit-risk related contingent features that would require it to post additional collateral in support of its net derivative asset positions.

Farmer Bros. Co.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)








The Company estimates its credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The accounts receivable are generally short-term and all estimated credit losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for credit losses. There were no individual customers with balances over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides a brief description of the recent ASUs applicable to the Company:
StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is being discontinued between December 2021 and June 2023. The Company has not entered into any new contracts after December 31, 2021 subject to LIBOR. With the overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates being published through June 30, 2023, we will continue to leverage these for the existing contracts.
ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rate.
 Issuance date of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024.The Company does not anticipate any material impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

(the "Buyer"), as amended by that certain Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2023.
The accounting requirements for reporting the Sale as a discontinued operation were met when the Sale was completed as of June 30, 2023. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Sale as a discontinued operation.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments Held
Coffee-Related Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated with its price to be fixed green coffee purchase contracts, which are described further in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company utilizes forward and option contracts to manage exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows from forecasted purchases of green coffee attributable to commodity price risk. Certain of these coffee-related derivative instruments utilized for risk management purposes have been designated as cash flow hedges, while other coffee-related derivative instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting despite hedging the Company’s future cash flows on an economic basis.
The following table summarizes the notional volumes for the coffee-related derivative instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:
(In thousands)September 30, 2023June 30, 2023
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
  Long coffee pounds413 1,538 
Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges:
  Long coffee pounds563 6,713 
  Short coffee pounds(113)(4,388)
      Total863 3,863 
Coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 30, 2023 will expire within 1.25 years. At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 approximately 48% and 40%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding coffee-related derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Instruments
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement, which was effective March 20, 2019, the Company on March 27, 2019, entered into an interest rate swap transaction utilizing a notional amount of $80.0 million, with an effective date of April 11, 2019 and a maturity date of October 11, 2023 (the “Original Rate Swap”). In December 2019, the Company amended the notional amount to $65.0 million. The Rate Swap was intended to manage the Company’s interest rate risk on its floating-rate indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
The Company had designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge; however, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company de-designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instruments. On May 16, 2023, the Company settled the Original Rate Swap. The net settlement of the Original Rate Swap was a $13 thousand loss.

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold in the same period or periods in which the hedged forecasted purchases affect earnings, or when it is probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Based on recorded values at September 30, 2023, $1.3 million of net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next 12 months. These recorded values are based on market prices of the commodities as of September 30, 2023.

 Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company participates in one multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that is union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, called the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan ("WCTPP"). The Company makes contributions to this plan generally based on the number of hours worked by the participants in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The company also contributes to two defined contribution pension plans (All Other Plans) that are union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Multiemployer Plans Other Than Pension Plans
The Company participates in nine multiemployer defined contribution plans other than pension plans that provide medical, vision, dental and disability benefits for active, union-represented employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. The plans are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and provide that participating employers make monthly contributions to the plans in an amount as specified in the collective bargaining agreements. Also, the plans provide that participants make self-payments to the plans, the amounts of which are negotiated through the collective bargaining process. The Company’s participation in these plans is governed by collective bargaining agreements which expire on or before March 31, 2027.
401(k) Plan
Farmer Bros. Co. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is available to all eligible employees. The Company has a matching program that is available to all eligible employees who have worked more than 1,000 hours during a calendar year and were employed at the end of the calendar year. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may choose to contribute a percentage of their annual pay subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's matching contribution is discretionary, based on approval by the Company's Board of Directors.
Beginning in January 2022, the Company amended the 401(k) matching program, whereby the Company on a quarterly basis, will contribute, instead of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) with a value equal to 50% of any non-union employee's annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan, up to 6% of such employee's eligible income. The terms of the match are substantially the same as the safe-harbor non-elective contribution. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its match to 100% of the first 3% each eligible employee contributes plus 50% on the next 2% they contribute. The Company recorded matching contributions of $0.2 million and $0.5 million in operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company contributed a total of 154,046 and 257,052 of shares Common Stock with a value of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to eligible participants’ annual plan compensation.
Postretirement Benefits
Death Benefit
The Company provides a postretirement death benefit (the “Death Benefit” Plan) to certain employees and retirees, subject, in the case of current employees, to continued employment with the Company until retirement and certain other conditions related to the manner of employment termination and manner of death. In June 2021, the Company amended the Death Benefit Plan effective immediately, which triggered re-measurement of the plan. In conjunction with the amendment, the Company created a new Executive Death Benefit Plan (the “Executive Death Benefit Plan”) for a small group of participants in the Death Benefit Plan. Under the Executive Death Benefit Plan, the participants receive the same benefits they would have received under the Death Benefit Plan.

Revolver Facility
On April 26, 2021, the Company entered into a senior secured facility which included a Revolver Credit Facility Agreement (the "Revolver Credit Facility"). The Revolver Credit Facility had a commitment of up to $80.0 million and a maturity date of April 25, 2025. On August 8, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Increase Joinder and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”), with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “3rd Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group. The Fourth Amendment amends that certain Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, originally entered into by and among the parties on April 26, 2021. The Fourth Amendment includes a consent to the Sale by the administrative agent and the lenders and amends certain terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement by, among other things: (i) reflecting the payoff in full, with proceeds from the Sale, of the $47.0 million outstanding amount of the Term Loan, (ii) reflecting the paydown, with proceeds from the Sale, of the Revolver Credit Facility (and a reduction of the maximum commitment of the lenders under the Revolver Credit Facility to $75.0 million), (iii) releasing liens of the administrative agent securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement on assets sold pursuant to the Sale, and (iv) amending the Credit Agreement so that the Company's financial covenant (i.e., fixed charge coverage ratio) is only in effect during such times when the Company's liquidity falls below certain thresholds.
The following is a summary description of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement (the "Revolver Security Facility") key items.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, among other things include:
1.a commitment of up to $75.0 million (“Revolver”) calculated as the lesser of (a) $75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a) 80% of eligible raw material inventory, eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve;
2.sublimit on letters of credit of $10.0 million;
3.maturity date of April 26, 2027 and has no scheduled payback required on the principal prior to the maturity date;

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)








4.fully collateralized by all existing and future capital stock of the Borrowers (other than the Company) and all of the Borrowers' personal and real property;
5.interest under the Revolver is either  if the relevant Obligation is a SOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus the SOFR Margin (1.75%), and otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (the greater of the Federal Funds Rate + 0.5% or Term SOFR +1%) plus the Base Rate Margin (0.75%).; and
6.in the event that Borrowers’ availability to borrow under the Revolver falls below $9.375 million, the financial covenant requires the Company to meet or exceed a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 at all such times.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, repurchase its stock and prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of its business, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments.
There are no required principal payments on the Revolver debt obligation.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.6 million of the letters of credit sublimit. At September 30, 2023, we had $25.4 million available for borrowing under our Revolver Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement. Furthermore, the Company believes it will be in compliance with the related financial covenants under this agreement for the next 12 months.

Farmer Bros. Co.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)








CSRSUs vest in equal installments over a three-year period from the grant date, and are cash-settled upon vesting based on the closing share price of Common Stock on the vesting date.
The CSRSUs are accounted for as liability awards, and compensation expense is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period net of forfeitures. Compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in the closing share price of Common Stock.

The Company recognizes the effects of tax legislation in the period in which the law is enacted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are remeasured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the Company estimates the related temporary differences to reverse. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required. In making such assessment,

significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, such as recent operating results, and less consideration is given to less objective indicators such as future income projections.
Tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $132 thousand compared to tax expense of $43 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2022, which primarily relates to state income tax, the change in previously recorded valuation allowance and the change in our estimated deferred tax liability.
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities. With limited exceptions, as of September 30, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to 2020. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 17. Net Loss Per Common Share 
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing diluted net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect, if dilutive, of the exercise of in-the-money stock options, unvested performance-based restricted stock units, and shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), as converted, during the periods presented. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such option’s exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) and unvested performance-based restricted stock units because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

In fiscal year 2023, as a result of the settlement entered into with Boyd, the Company recorded a $1.9 million gain on settlement with Boyd, in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations, which included the cancellation of preferred shares and settlement of acquisition-related contingent liabilities.
Note 19. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are sales of coffee, tea and culinary products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer and in amounts that the Company expects to collect. The timing of revenue recognition takes into consideration the various shipping terms applicable to the Company’s sales.
The Company delivers products to customers through Direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) to the Company’s customers at their place of business and Direct ship from the Company’s warehouse to the customer’s warehouse, facility or address. Each delivery or shipment made to a third party customer is to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. The Company is entitled to collection of the sales price under normal credit terms in the regions in which it operates.
The Company disaggregates net sales from contracts with customers based on the characteristics of the products sold:

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our financial condition, our products, our business strategy, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. In addition, we, or others on our behalf, may make forward-looking statements in press releases or written statements, or in our communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words like “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “intends,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “assumes” and other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, estimates and observations of future events based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made and include any statements that do not relate to any historical or current fact. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and they involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements due in part to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on September 12, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC. The Company’s results of operations for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the discontinued operations related to the Sale.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, severe weather, levels of consumer confidence in national and local economic business conditions, the impact of labor shortages, the increase of costs due to inflation, an economic downturn caused by any pandemic, epidemic or other disease outbreak, comparable or similar to COVID-19, the success of our turnaround strategy, the impact of capital improvement projects, the adequacy and availability of capital resources to fund our existing and planned business operations and our capital expenditure requirements, our ability to meet financial covenant requirements in our Credit Facility, which could impact, among other things, our liquidity, the relative effectiveness of compensation-based employee incentives in causing improvements in our performance, the capacity to meet the demands of our large national account customers, the extent of execution of plans for the growth of our business and achievement of financial metrics related to those plans, our success in retaining and/or attracting qualified employees, our success in adapting to technology and new commerce channels, the effect of the capital markets as well as other external factors on stockholder value, fluctuations in availability and cost of green coffee, competition, organizational changes, the effectiveness of our hedging strategies in reducing price and interest rate risk, changes in consumer preferences, our ability to provide sustainability in ways that do not materially impair profitability, changes in the strength of the economy, including any effects from inflation, business conditions in the coffee industry and food industry in general, our continued success in attracting new customers, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rates, weather and special or unusual events, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net Sales
Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $2.1 million, or 2.6%, to $81.9 million from $79.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher pricing compared to the prior period.
The following table presents the effect of changes in unit sales, and unit pricing and product mix in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (in millions):
Three Months Ended
September 30,
2023 vs. 2022
Effect of change in unit sales$(5.6)
Effect of pricing and product mix changes7.7 
Total increase in net sales$2.1 
Unit sales decreased 6.5% and average unit price increased by 9.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in an increase in our net sales of 2.6%. Average unit price increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to a higher DSD product mix and price increases. There were no new product category introductions which had a material impact on our net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to $30.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Gross margin increased to 37.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 33.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved pricing and a decrease in underlying commodities pricing compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Operating Expenses
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, operating expenses increased $5.1 million to $32.9 million, or 40.1% of net sales, from $27.8 million, or 34.8% of net sales in the prior year period. This increase was due to $3.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, $0.4 million decrease in net gains from the sale of branch properties and other assets during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a $1.1 million increase in selling expenses. The increase in selling expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to additional spend on vehicles, fleet and
23


freight. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to severance-related costs of a $2.3 million. Further, the increase was impacted by the non-recurrence of a $1.9 million gain related to the settlement of the Boyd’s acquisition, offset slightly by an increase in contract services in the prior period.
Total Other Expense
Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $1.4 million to income of $0.6 million compared to $0.8 million of expense in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $0.1 million to $2.2 million from $2.1 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily related to higher interest rates compared to the prior year period.
Other, net in the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $1.6 million to $2.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily a result of higher mark-to-market net gains on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in the current period compared to the prior year period.
Income Taxes
In the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we recorded income tax benefit of $132 thousand and an income tax expense of $43 thousand, respectively. See Note 16, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
24


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to net loss determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating performance:
“EBITDA” is defined as net loss from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
income tax expense;
interest expense; and
depreciation and amortization expense.
“EBITDA Margin” is defined as EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net loss from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
income tax (benefit) expense;
interest expense;
depreciation and amortization expense;
401(k), ESOP and share-based compensation expense;
gain on settlement with Boyd’s sellers;
net (gains) losses from sales of assets; and
severance costs.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.
For purposes of calculating EBITDA and EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we have not adjusted for the impact of interest expense on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company’s operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, management utilizes these measures, in addition to GAAP measures, when evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating performance against internal financial forecasts and budgets.
We believe that EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present EBITDA and EBITDA Margin because (i) we believe that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe that investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use these measures internally as benchmarks to compare our performance to that of our competitors.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We do not intend for non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our Business
We are a leading coffee roaster, wholesaler, equipment servicer and distributor of coffee, tea and other allied products manufactured under our owned brands, as well as under private labels on behalf of certain customers. We were founded in 1912, incorporated in California in 1923, and reincorporated in Delaware in 2004. Our principal office is located in Northlake, Texas. We operate in one business segment.
We serve a wide variety of customers, from small independent restaurants and foodservice operators to large institutional buyers like restaurants, department and convenience store retailers, hotels, casinos, healthcare facilities, and gourmet coffee houses, as well as grocery chains with private brand and consumer-branded coffee and tea products, and foodservice distributors. Through our sustainability, stewardship, environmental efforts, and leadership we are not only committed to serving the finest products available, considering the cost needs of the customer, but also focus on their sustainable cultivation, manufacture and distribution whenever possible.
Our product categories consist of a robust line of roast and ground coffee, including organic, Direct Trade, Project D.I.R.E.C.T.®, Fair Trade Certified™ ® and other sustainably-produced offerings; frozen liquid coffee; flavored and unflavored iced and hot teas; including organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified™; culinary products including premium spices, pancake and biscuit mixes, gravy and sauce mixes, soup bases, dressings, syrups and sauces, and coffee-related products such as coffee filters, cups, sugar and creamers; and other beverages including cappuccino, cocoa, granitas, and other blender-based beverages and concentrated and ready-to-drink cold brew and iced coffee. We offer a comprehensive approach to our customers by providing not only a breadth of high-quality products, but also value added services such as market insight, beverage planning, and equipment placement and service.
We operate a production facility in Portland, Oregon. We distribute our products from our Portland, Oregon production facility, as well as separate distribution centers in Northlake, Texas; Portland, Oregon; Northlake, Illinois; Moonachie, New Jersey; and Rialto, California.

RevolverVarious4/26/2027N/A$23,300 6.99 %$23,021 6.66 %

The revolver under the Credit Facility has a commitment of up to $75.0 million and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Availability under the revolver is calculated as the lesser of (a) $75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a) 80% of eligible raw material inventory,
26


eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve. The Term Loan under the Term Credit Facility was fully paid down on June 30, 2023.
The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Credit Facility becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments. As of and through September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility provides us with increased flexibility to proactively manage our liquidity and working capital, while maintaining compliance with our debt financial covenants, and preserving financial liquidity to mitigate the impact of the uncertain business environment and continue to execute on key strategic initiatives.
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA”) effective March 20, 2019, the Company on March 27, 2019, entered into a swap transaction utilizing a notional amount of $80.0 million, with an effective date of April 11, 2019 and a maturity date of October 11, 2023 (the “Original Rate Swap”). On May 16, 2023, the Company settled the Original Rate Swap. The net settlement of the Original Rate Swap was a $13 thousand loss. There was no remaining balance frozen in AOCI as of June 30, 2023.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.6 million of the letters of credit sublimit.
Liquidity
We generally finance our operations through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility described above. In light of our financial position, operating performance and current economic conditions, including the state of the global capital markets, there can be no assurance as to whether or when we will be able to raise capital by issuing securities. We believe that the Credit Facility, to the extent available, in addition to our cash flows from operations, collectively, will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.
At September 30, 2023, we had $4.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $0.2 million in restricted cash. Further changes in commodity prices and the number of coffee-related derivative instruments held could have a significant impact on cash deposit requirements under our broker and counterparty agreements and may adversely affect our liquidity. At September 30, 2023, we had $25.4 million available on our Revolver Credit Facility.
Cash Flows

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $7.1 million as compared to $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase in cash used in operations of $0.9 million. The change was driven by an increase in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivables.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $5.7 million as compared to $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The net change in investing activities was primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million related to proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment offset by an increase of $0.7 million in fixed asset purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.2 million as compared to $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $4.9 million was due to net borrowing proceeds of $0.3 million under the Credit Facility this period compared to $5.4 million in the prior year period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates or judgments, however, are both subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of our 2023 Form 10-K. For a summary of our critical accounting estimates, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our 2023 Form 10-K.

The following table demonstrates the impact of interest rate changes on our annual interest expense on outstanding borrowings subject to interest rate variability under these Credit Facility based on the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2023:

Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to commodity price risk arising from changes in the market price of green coffee. We value green coffee inventory on the FIFO basis. In the normal course of business we hold a large green coffee inventory and enter into forward commodity purchase agreements with suppliers. We are subject to price risk resulting from the volatility of green coffee prices. Due to competition and market conditions, volatile price increases cannot always be passed on to our customers. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussions of our derivative instruments.
The following table summarizes the potential impact as of September 30, 2023 to net loss and AOCI from a hypothetical 10% change in coffee commodity prices. The information provided below relates only to the coffee-related derivative instruments and does not include, when applicable, the corresponding changes in the underlying hedged items:

ELECTRONIC Acceptance of Award:

By clicking on the “ACCEPT” box on the “Accept Grant” page, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. You acknowledge that you have reviewed and fully understand all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, and have had the opportunity to obtain advice of counsel prior to accepting the grant of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.1
Article I.
AWARD; VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

1.1    RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until such time (if ever) as the RSUs have vested and been earned hereunder.
(b)    The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent right that shall, to the extent that any dividend becomes payable on Common Stock while such Dividend Equivalent right remains outstanding, and subject to the terms set forth below, entitle Participant to a cash payment in the amount of any such dividend paid by the Company in respect of a share of Common Stock. The Dividend Equivalent right shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date through the earlier to occur of (i) the termination or forfeiture for any reason of the RSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds, or (ii) the delivery to the Participant of the share of Common Stock in respect of the RSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds (in any case, the “RSU Termination Date”). For clarity, each Dividend Equivalent right will entitle Participant to a cash payment in the amount of any dividend(s) paid by the Company in respect of a share of Common Stock to the extent that such dividend(s) are declared and have ex dividend date(s), in each case, that occur on or after the applicable Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable RSU Termination Date, payable upon the settlement date in respect of the RSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds as provided in Section 1.4 of this Agreement; provided, that with respect to any dividends meeting such criteria that are paid after the RSU Termination Date, the applicable Dividend Equivalent payment will be paid if and when the Company pays the underlying dividend (but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the applicable ex dividend date occurs). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if an RSU does not ultimately vest hereunder, no Dividend Equivalent payments shall be made with respect to such unvested RSU, and (y) in no event shall a Dividend Equivalent payment be made that would result in Participant receiving both the Dividend Equivalent payment (in respect of a dividend) and the actual dividend with respect to the same RSU and corresponding share of Common Stock. Dividend Equivalent rights and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the RSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A.
1.2    Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, the RSU will become vested and nonforfeitable (“Vested RSUs”) according to the vesting schedule set forth above.
1.3 Termination of Service; Change in Control.
(a)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Participant will immediately and automatically forfeit to the Company any shares of Restricted Stock that are not Vested Shares (the “Unvested Shares”) at the time of Participant’s Termination of Service, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement. Upon forfeiture of Unvested Shares, the Company will become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unvested Shares and all related interests and Participant will have no further rights with respect to the Unvested Shares.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Participant’s death or Disability, in each case, prior to the Vesting Date, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s (or Participant’s guardian or estate as applicable) timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, a pro-rata portion of the shares of Restricted Stock equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed between the Grant


EXHIBIT 10.1
Date and the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-six (366) days (rounded up to the next whole Share), shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the date of such Termination of Service and any remaining Unvested Shares shall immediately and automatically be forfeited effective as of such Termination of Service.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    In the event that the Award is not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in a Change in Control, in any case, as determined by the Administrator, any then-Unvested Shares shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of immediately prior to such Change in Control. The Administrator may condition such accelerated vesting upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release and/or other transaction-related documents in a form or forms prescribed by the Company.
(ii)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, in either case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, any then-Unvested Shares shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the date of such Termination of Service. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions without Participant’s consent: (i) a material diminution of Participant’s base salary, (ii) a material diminution in Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (iii) the requirement by the Company that Participant’s principal place of employment be based more than fifty (50) miles from Participant’s primary office location; provided, further, that, a termination for Good Reason will not have occurred unless Participant gives written notice to the Company of Participant’s intention to terminate employment within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason, specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and the Company has failed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and Participant terminates employment within sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period.
1.4    Settlement.
(a)    All of Participant’s RSUs which are then vested pursuant to Sections 1.2 will be paid in Shares, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will be paid in cash, in each case, during the thirty (30)-day period beginning with the earliest to occur of the following events:
(i)    the Vesting Date; or
(ii)    subject to Section 1.4(b), Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or by Participant for Good Reason, in either case, following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, no RSUs or Dividend Equivalents shall be distributed to Participant pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) during the six-month period following Participant’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that distributing such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the distribution of any of Participant’s RSUs and Dividend Equivalents is


EXHIBIT 10.1
delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant during the thirty (30)-day period beginning on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents can be distributed under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Participant’s death).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.4(a), in the event that the vesting of the RSUs accelerates pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii), Shares shall be distributed to Participant in settlement of such RSUs, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant, in each case, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.
ARTICLE II.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
2.1    Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, employment tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs or any related Dividend Equivalents, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon vesting, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to cooperate with the Company in satisfying any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Company or its agents, at their discretion, may satisfy, or allow Participant to satisfy, the withholding obligation with regard to all Tax-Related Items by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
(i)    By delivery of cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds by Participant to the Company; provided that the Administrator may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;
(ii)    Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of a notice to the Company that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Administrator with respect to Shares then issuable and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding by cash, check or wire


EXHIBIT 10.1
transfer of immediately available funds; provided, that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator; or provided
(iii)    To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery to the Company of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares then issuable in settlement of the RSUs, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery (or such other date determined by the Administrator).
(c)    The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment of any tax withholding with regard to all Tax-Related Items as Participant's election to satisfy all or a portion of the tax withholding pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) above.
(d)    Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash through the Company’s normal payroll processes and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent.
(e)    Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting of the RSUs and/or refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of the Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
ARTICLE III.
OTHER PROVISIONS
3.1    Nature of Grant. In accepting the RSUs, Participant understands, acknowledges, and agrees that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time in accordance with its terms;
(b)    the grant of the RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future RSU or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Administrator;
(d)    the RSU grant and participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or service or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company or any other Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or any other Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate Participant's employment or service relationship (if any) at any time with or without cause;
(e)    Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f)    the RSUs and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation (if any);

EXHIBIT 10.1
resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or other similar payments (if any);
(h)    the future value of the Shares underlying the RSUs is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(i)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from Participant's Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of Applicable Laws or the terms of Participant's employment or service agreement, if any);
(j)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares underlying the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any services Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and
(k)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Administrator, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock.
3.2    No Advice Regarding Grant. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is any such party making recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or Participant's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with Participant's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to his or her Awards under the Plan.
3.3    Transferability. The RSUs are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as permitted by the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Any permitted transfer of an Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law.
3.4    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
3.5    Defined Terms; Titles. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

3.7    Successors and Assigns; Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the transfer provisions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Each Subsidiary is an intended third-party beneficiary of any rights or entitlements conferred on any such party hereunder, and shall be entitled to enforce such rights and entitlements hereunder as if such entity was a signatory to this Agreement.
3.8    Entire Agreement and Imposition of Other Terms. The Plan and this Agreement (including all exhibits and appendices hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company (or between any other


EXHIBIT 10.1
Subsidiary) and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Nonetheless, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
3.9    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
3.10    Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other person.
3.11    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates a contractual arrangement between the Company and Participant only (except as expressly provided above with respect to third-party rights of Subsidiaries) and shall not be construed as creating a trust for the benefit of Participant. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares or cash as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, as and when settled pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.12    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
3.13    Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.
3.14    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.


EXHIBIT 10.1
3.15    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant acknowledges that Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan during such times when Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by Applicable Laws). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
3.16    Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment that Participant may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment.
3.17    Clawback Provisions. In consideration of the grant of this Award, Participant agrees that this Award (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying this Award) will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws or any policy of the Company providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation (including any policy adopted after the Grant Date).
3.18    Governing Law. This Agreement and the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding the choice-of-law principles of the State of Delaware and any other state requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

In addition, the RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited (including any portion that is then vested) upon Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause prior to the Determination Date. Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will vest or be forfeited, as applicable, upon the vesting or forfeiture of the RSU with respect to which the Dividend Equivalent (including the Dividend Equivalent Account) relates.
1.3    Termination of Service; Change in Control
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.2, if Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of death or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s (or Participant’s guardian or estate, as applicable) timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, the RSUs shall remain outstanding following Participant’s Termination of Service and Participant shall be eligible to earn the number of RSUs that would have been earned based on actual performance through the end of the Performance Period, as determined and certified by the Committee on the Determination Date, had no Termination of Service occurred, with such number of earned RSUs (if any) pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed in the Performance Period through the Termination of Service over the total number of days in the Performance Period.
(b)    Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or by Participant for Good Reason, in either


EXHIBIT 10.2
case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, the Target Number of RSUs Granted, as indicated above, shall become fully vested and shall be deemed earned as of the date of such Termination of Service. All RSUs granted hereunder in excess of the Target Number of RSUs Granted shall be forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Participant’s employment, services or similar agreement with the Company, and if no such agreement exists or such agreement does not contain a definition of “Good Reason”, then “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions without Participant’s consent: (i) a material diminution of Participant’s base salary, (ii) a material diminution in Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (iii) the requirement by the Company that Participant’s principal place of employment be based more than fifty (50) miles from Participant’s primary office location; provided, further, that, a termination for Good Reason will not have occurred unless Participant gives written notice to the Company of Participant’s intention to terminate employment within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason, specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and the Company has failed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and Participant terminates employment within sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period.
(ii) In the event that the RSUs are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in a Change in Control, a number of RSUs shall vest and shall be deemed earned immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control equal to the Target Number of RSUs Granted, as indicated above, pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed in the Performance Period through the Change in Control over the total number of days in the Performance Period, and all RSUs granted hereunder in excess of such number of RSUs shall be forfeited. The Administrator may condition such accelerated vesting upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release and/or other transaction-related documents in a form or forms reasonably prescribed by the Company.
1.4    Settlement.
(a)    All of Participant’s RSUs which are then vested pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 will be paid in Shares, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will be paid in cash, in each case, during the thirty (30)-day period beginning with the earliest to occur of the following events:
(i)    the Determination Date; or
(ii)    subject to Section 1.4(b), Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or by Participant for Good Reason, in either case, following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, no RSUs or Dividend Equivalents shall be distributed to Participant pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) during the six-month period following Participant’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that distributing such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the distribution of any of Participant’s RSUs and Dividend Equivalents is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents


EXHIBIT 10.2
(including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant during the thirty (30)-day period beginning on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents can be distributed under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Participant’s death).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.4(a), in the event that the vesting of the RSUs accelerates pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii), Shares shall be distributed to Participant in settlement of such RSUs, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant, in each case, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.

ARTICLE II.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
2.1    Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, employment tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs or any related Dividend Equivalents, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon vesting, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to cooperate with the Company in satisfying any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Company or its agents, at their discretion, may satisfy, or allow Participant to satisfy, the withholding obligation with regard to all Tax-Related Items by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
(i)    By delivery of cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds by Participant to the Company; provided that the Administrator may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;
(ii)    Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of a notice to the Company that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Administrator with respect to Shares then issuable and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding by cash, check or wire


EXHIBIT 10.2
transfer of immediately available funds; provided, that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator; or
(iii)    To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery to the Company of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares then issuable in settlement of the RSUs, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery (or such other date determined by the Administrator).
(c)    The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment of any tax withholding with regard to all Tax-Related Items as Participant's election to satisfy all or a portion of the tax withholding pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) above.
(d)    Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash through the Company’s normal payroll processes and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent.
(e)    Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting of the RSUs and/or refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of the Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
ARTICLE III.

(j)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares underlying the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any services Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and

3.2    No Advice Regarding Grant. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is any such party making recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to his or her Awards under the Plan.
3.3    Transferability. The RSUs are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as permitted by the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Any permitted transfer of an Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law.
3.4    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

3.8    Entire Agreement and Imposition of Other Terms. The Plan and this Agreement (including all exhibits and appendices hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company (or between any other Subsidiary) and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Nonetheless, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares


EXHIBIT 10.2
acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
3.9    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
3.10    Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other person.
3.11    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates a contractual arrangement between the Company and Participant only (except as expressly provided above with respect to third-party rights of Subsidiaries) and shall not be construed as creating a trust for the benefit of Participant. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares or cash as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, as and when settled pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.12    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means (including without limitation the Plan, Awards, Award Agreements, prospectuses required by applicable securities law) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements). Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.
3.14    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
3.15    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant acknowledges that Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect


EXHIBIT 10.2
Participant’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan during such times when Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by Applicable Laws). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
3.16    Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment that Participant may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment. To the extent Participant must enter into a release as noted in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, the payment with respect to the RSU is not exempt from Section 409A, and the date of the Change in Control or Termination of Service occurs in a different calendar year than the date the release will become effective, then settlement of the RSU may not occur before January 1 of the second year.
3.17    Clawback Provisions. In consideration of the grant of this Award, Participant agrees that this Award and related Dividend Equivalents (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award, the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying this Award or any other amounts or benefits as required by Applicable Law) will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws or any policy of the Company providing for the reimbursement of compensation (including any policy adopted after the Grant Date).
3.18    Governing Law. This Agreement and the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding the choice-of-law principles of the State of Delaware and any other state requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

EXHIBIT 10.3
Article I.
AWARD; VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
1.1    CRSUs and Dividend Equivalents
(a)    Each CRSU represents the right to receive the cash value of one Share on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any cash payment until such time (if ever) as the CRSUs have vested hereunder. Participant has no right to receive any Shares under the terms of this CRSU.
(b)    The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each CRSU, a Dividend Equivalent right that shall, to the extent that any dividend becomes payable on Common Stock while such Dividend Equivalent right remains outstanding, and subject to the terms set forth below, entitle Participant to a cash payment in the amount of any such dividend paid by the Company in respect of a share of Common Stock. The Dividend Equivalent right shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date through the earlier to occur of (i) the termination or forfeiture for any reason of the CRSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds, or (ii) the delivery to the Participant of the cash value of the share of Common Stock in respect of the CRSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds (in any case, the “CRSU Termination Date”). For clarity, each Dividend Equivalent right will entitle Participant to a cash payment in the amount of any dividend(s) paid by the Company in respect of a share of Common Stock to the extent that such dividend(s) are declared and have ex dividend date(s), in each case, that occur on or after the applicable Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable CRSU Termination Date, payable upon the settlement date in respect of the CRSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds as provided in Section 1.4 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if a CRSU does not ultimately vest hereunder, no Dividend Equivalent payments shall be made with respect to such unvested CRSU, and (y) in no event shall a Dividend Equivalent payment be made that would result in Participant receiving both the Dividend Equivalent payment (in respect of a dividend) and the actual dividend with respect to the same CRSU and corresponding share of Common Stock. Dividend Equivalent rights and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the CRSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A.
1.2    Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, the CRSUs will become vested and nonforfeitable (“Vested CRSUs”) according to the vesting schedule set forth above.
1.3    Termination of Service; Change in Control
(a)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Participant will immediately and automatically forfeit the right to receive any cash payment with respect to the Share equivalent units underlying the CRSUs that are not Vested CRSUs (the “Unvested CRSUs”) at the time of Participant’s Termination of Service, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement. Upon forfeiture of Unvested CRSUs, the Participant will have no further rights with respect to the Unvested CRSUs.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Participant’s death or Disability, in each case, prior to the Vesting Date, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s (or Participant’s guardian or estate as applicable) timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, a pro-rata portion of the shares of Restricted Stock equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed between the Grant Date and the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and the denominator of which is three


EXHIBIT 10.3
hundred sixty-six (366) days (rounded up to the next whole Share), shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the date of such Termination of Service and any remaining Unvested CRSUs shall immediately and automatically be forfeited effective as of such Termination of Service.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    In the event that the Award is not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in a Change in Control, in any case, as determined by the Administrator, any then-Unvested CRSUs shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of immediately prior to such Change in Control. The Administrator may condition such accelerated vesting upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release and/or other transaction-related documents in a form or forms prescribed by the Company.
(ii)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, in either case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s timely execution of an effective release in a form prescribed by the Administrator, any then-Unvested CRSUs shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the date of such Termination of Service. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions without Participant’s consent: (i) a material diminution of Participant’s base salary, (ii) a material diminution in Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (iii) the requirement by the Company that Participant’s principal place of employment be based more than fifty (50) miles from Participant’s primary office location; provided, further, that, a termination for Good Reason will not have occurred unless Participant gives written notice to the Company of Participant’s intention to terminate employment within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason, specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and the Company has failed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure the circumstances constituting Good Reason, and Participant terminates employment within sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period.
1.4    Settlement. All of Participant’s CRSUs which are then vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth above, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will be paid solely in cash less required or elected withholdings, in each case, during the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which CRSUs first become vested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, no CRSUs or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid to Participant pursuant to this Section 1.4 during the six-month period following Participant’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that distributing such CRSUs and Dividend Equivalents at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the distribution of any of Participant’s CRSUs and Dividend Equivalents is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then such CRSUs and Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant during the thirty (30)-day period beginning on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such CRSUs and Dividend Equivalents can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Participant’s death).

The Company is offering you a special retention award in recognition of your importance to the future of the Company. I am pleased to offer you a special one-time retention bonus of $50,000 (the “Retention Bonus”). In return for your commitment to remain with the Company, the Retention Bonus will be paid to you, subject to the terms set forth on the following pages.
Please return a signed copy of this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) to Amber Jefferson, Chief Human Resources Officer, no later than Friday, September 22, 2023.
Brad we truly appreciate your previous, current and future dedicated service to Farmer Brothers.
Sincerely,

John Moore
Interim Chief Executive Officer















Ex 10.4

2. Eligibility. You must be actively employed by the Company on each of the Payment Date(s) to be eligible to receive payment. If you voluntarily resign from the Company for any reason or you are terminated by the Company for Cause prior to each of the Payment Date(s), you are not entitled to the Retention Bonus.
“Cause” means (a) the willful and continued failure of Executive to perform Executive’s material job duties with the Company Group (other than any such failure resulting from becoming Disabled), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties and Executive has had an opportunity for thirty (30) days to cure such failure after receipt of such written demand; (b) engaging in an act (whether by act or omission) of willful misconduct, fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation or theft which results in damage to the Company Group; (c) conviction of Executive of, or Executive pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony (other than a violation of a motor vehicle or moving violation law) or a misdemeanor if such misdemeanor (A) is reasonably expected to or actually causes material damage to the Company Group; or (B) involves the commission of a criminal act against the Company Group; or (d) the breach by Executive of any material provision of, or inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation made by Executive in, the Company’s policies or any agreement to which the Executive is party with the Company or its affiliates, that is not cured within 30 days of written notice from the Company setting forth with reasonable particularity such breach or inaccuracy, provided that, if such breach or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured within 30 days after receipt of such notice, Executive shall not be entitled to such cure period.
3. Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from the Retention Bonus such federal, state and local taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

5. Employment at Will. The payment of the Retention Bonus (and your acceptance thereof) does not change the at-will nature of your employment relationship, which means that both you and the Company have the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without advance notice and with or without cause. It also means that your job duties, title, responsibilities, reporting level, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may be changed with or without notice at any time at the sole discretion of the Company.
6. Miscellaneous. You agree that you will use your best efforts to perform your duties and responsibilities to the Company. You also agree that you will keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, and will not, except as required by law, disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person other than your spouse or professional advisors (who must also keep the terms of this Agreement confidential). You further agree that you will comply with all other confidentiality and other restrictive covenants that you may be subject to under any other agreement with, or policy of, the Company or any of its affiliates. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Note 1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Farmer Bros. Co., a Delaware corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” or “Farmer Bros.”), is a leading coffee roaster, wholesaler, equipment servicer and distributor of coffee, tea and other allied products. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, from small independent restaurants and foodservice operators to large institutional buyers like restaurant, department and convenience store retailers, hotels, casinos, healthcare facilities, and gourmet coffee houses, as well as grocery chains with private brand and consumer-branded coffee and tea products, and foodservice distributors.
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed its sale of certain assets of the Company related to its direct ship and private label business, including the Company’s production facility and corporate office building in Northlake, Texas (the "Sale"). The Sale and the related direct ship and private label operations are reported in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations for more information related to the Sale and the discontinued operations. All other footnotes present results of the continuing operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and the Form 10-K/A filed on October 27, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts disclosed in 2022 have been reclassified to conform with the discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from those estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits), derivative instruments and trade receivables.
The Company does not have any credit-risk related contingent features that would require it to post additional collateral in support of its net derivative asset positions.
The Company estimates its credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The accounts receivable are generally short-term and all estimated credit losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for credit losses. There were no individual customers with balances over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides a brief description of the recent ASUs applicable to the Company:
StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is being discontinued between December 2021 and June 2023. The Company has not entered into any new contracts after December 31, 2021 subject to LIBOR. With the overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates being published through June 30, 2023, we will continue to leverage these for the existing contracts.
ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rate.
 Issuance date of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024.The Company does not anticipate any material impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments Held
Coffee-Related Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated with its price to be fixed green coffee purchase contracts, which are described further in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company utilizes forward and option contracts to manage exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows from forecasted purchases of green coffee attributable to commodity price risk. Certain of these coffee-related derivative instruments utilized for risk management purposes have been designated as cash flow hedges, while other coffee-related derivative instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting despite hedging the Company’s future cash flows on an economic basis.
The following table summarizes the notional volumes for the coffee-related derivative instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:
(In thousands)September 30, 2023June 30, 2023
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:

Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges:
  Long coffee pounds563 6,713 
  Short coffee pounds(113)(4,388)
      Total863 3,863 
Coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 30, 2023 will expire within 1.25 years. At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 approximately 48% and 40%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding coffee-related derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Instruments
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement, which was effective March 20, 2019, the Company on March 27, 2019, entered into an interest rate swap transaction utilizing a notional amount of $80.0 million, with an effective date of April 11, 2019 and a maturity date of October 11, 2023 (the “Original Rate Swap”). In December 2019, the Company amended the notional amount to $65.0 million. The Rate Swap was intended to manage the Company’s interest rate risk on its floating-rate indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
The Company had designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge; however, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company de-designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instruments. On May 16, 2023, the Company settled the Original Rate Swap. The net settlement of the Original Rate Swap was a $13 thousand loss.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The Company has agreements in place that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and liabilities at settlement or in the event of default under the agreements. Additionally, under certain coffee derivative agreements, the Company maintains accounts with its counterparties to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities.
The following table presents the Company’s net exposure from its offsetting derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral on deposit with its counterparties as of the reporting dates indicated:

Cash Flow Hedges
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold in the same period or periods in which the hedged forecasted purchases affect earnings, or when it is probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Based on recorded values at September 30, 2023, $1.3 million of net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next 12 months. These recorded values are based on market prices of the commodities as of September 30, 2023.

 Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company participates in one multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that is union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, called the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan ("WCTPP"). The Company makes contributions to this plan generally based on the number of hours worked by the participants in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The company also contributes to two defined contribution pension plans (All Other Plans) that are union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements.
Contributions made by the Company to the multiemployer pension plans were as follows:

Multiemployer Plans Other Than Pension Plans
The Company participates in nine multiemployer defined contribution plans other than pension plans that provide medical, vision, dental and disability benefits for active, union-represented employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. The plans are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and provide that participating employers make monthly contributions to the plans in an amount as specified in the collective bargaining agreements. Also, the plans provide that participants make self-payments to the plans, the amounts of which are negotiated through the collective bargaining process. The Company’s participation in these plans is governed by collective bargaining agreements which expire on or before March 31, 2027.
401(k) Plan
Farmer Bros. Co. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is available to all eligible employees. The Company has a matching program that is available to all eligible employees who have worked more than 1,000 hours during a calendar year and were employed at the end of the calendar year. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may choose to contribute a percentage of their annual pay subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's matching contribution is discretionary, based on approval by the Company's Board of Directors.
Beginning in January 2022, the Company amended the 401(k) matching program, whereby the Company on a quarterly basis, will contribute, instead of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) with a value equal to 50% of any non-union employee's annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan, up to 6% of such employee's eligible income. The terms of the match are substantially the same as the safe-harbor non-elective contribution. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its match to 100% of the first 3% each eligible employee contributes plus 50% on the next 2% they contribute. The Company recorded matching contributions of $0.2 million and $0.5 million in operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company contributed a total of 154,046 and 257,052 of shares Common Stock with a value of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to eligible participants’ annual plan compensation.
Postretirement Benefits
Death Benefit
The Company provides a postretirement death benefit (the “Death Benefit” Plan) to certain employees and retirees, subject, in the case of current employees, to continued employment with the Company until retirement and certain other conditions related to the manner of employment termination and manner of death. In June 2021, the Company amended the Death Benefit Plan effective immediately, which triggered re-measurement of the plan. In conjunction with the amendment, the Company created a new Executive Death Benefit Plan (the “Executive Death Benefit Plan”) for a small group of participants in the Death Benefit Plan. Under the Executive Death Benefit Plan, the participants receive the same benefits they would have received under the Death Benefit Plan.
The following table shows the components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the Death Benefit Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Revolver Facility
On April 26, 2021, the Company entered into a senior secured facility which included a Revolver Credit Facility Agreement (the "Revolver Credit Facility"). The Revolver Credit Facility had a commitment of up to $80.0 million and a maturity date of April 25, 2025. On August 8, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Increase Joinder and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”), with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “3rd Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group. The Fourth Amendment amends that certain Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, originally entered into by and among the parties on April 26, 2021. The Fourth Amendment includes a consent to the Sale by the administrative agent and the lenders and amends certain terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement by, among other things: (i) reflecting the payoff in full, with proceeds from the Sale, of the $47.0 million outstanding amount of the Term Loan, (ii) reflecting the paydown, with proceeds from the Sale, of the Revolver Credit Facility (and a reduction of the maximum commitment of the lenders under the Revolver Credit Facility to $75.0 million), (iii) releasing liens of the administrative agent securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement on assets sold pursuant to the Sale, and (iv) amending the Credit Agreement so that the Company's financial covenant (i.e., fixed charge coverage ratio) is only in effect during such times when the Company's liquidity falls below certain thresholds.
The following is a summary description of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement (the "Revolver Security Facility") key items.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, among other things include:
1.a commitment of up to $75.0 million (“Revolver”) calculated as the lesser of (a) $75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a) 80% of eligible raw material inventory, eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve;
2.sublimit on letters of credit of $10.0 million;
3.maturity date of April 26, 2027 and has no scheduled payback required on the principal prior to the maturity date;
4.fully collateralized by all existing and future capital stock of the Borrowers (other than the Company) and all of the Borrowers' personal and real property;
5.interest under the Revolver is either  if the relevant Obligation is a SOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus the SOFR Margin (1.75%), and otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (the greater of the Federal Funds Rate + 0.5% or Term SOFR +1%) plus the Base Rate Margin (0.75%).; and
6.in the event that Borrowers’ availability to borrow under the Revolver falls below $9.375 million, the financial covenant requires the Company to meet or exceed a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 at all such times.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, repurchase its stock and prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of its business, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments.
There are no required principal payments on the Revolver debt obligation.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.6 million of the letters of credit sublimit. At September 30, 2023, we had $25.4 million available for borrowing under our Revolver Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement. Furthermore, the Company believes it will be in compliance with the related financial covenants under this agreement for the next 12 months.

The Company’s interim tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events that may occur during the quarter. The Company recognizes the effects of tax legislation in the period in which the law is enacted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are remeasured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the Company estimates the related temporary differences to reverse. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required. In making such assessment,
significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, such as recent operating results, and less consideration is given to less objective indicators such as future income projections.
Tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $132 thousand compared to tax expense of $43 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2022, which primarily relates to state income tax, the change in previously recorded valuation allowance and the change in our estimated deferred tax liability.
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities. With limited exceptions, as of September 30, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to 2020. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss Per Common Share
Note 17. Net Loss Per Common Share 
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing diluted net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect, if dilutive, of the exercise of in-the-money stock options, unvested performance-based restricted stock units, and shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), as converted, during the periods presented. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such option’s exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) and unvested performance-based restricted stock units because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 19. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are sales of coffee, tea and culinary products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer and in amounts that the Company expects to collect. The timing of revenue recognition takes into consideration the various shipping terms applicable to the Company’s sales.
The Company delivers products to customers through Direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) to the Company’s customers at their place of business and Direct ship from the Company’s warehouse to the customer’s warehouse, facility or address. Each delivery or shipment made to a third party customer is to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. The Company is entitled to collection of the sales price under normal credit terms in the regions in which it operates.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and the Form 10-K/A filed on October 27, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts disclosed in 2022 have been reclassified to conform with the discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits), derivative instruments and trade receivables.
The Company does not have any credit-risk related contingent features that would require it to post additional collateral in support of its net derivative asset positions.
The Company estimates its credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The accounts receivable are generally short-term and all estimated credit losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for credit losses. There were no individual customers with balances over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.
