Fox Factory Holding Corp. (which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “FOX” or the “Company”) is furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (our “Board”) of proxies to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 4, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at our corporate headquarters, 915 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley, CA 95066, at 1 p.m., Pacific Time. We first sent or made available these proxy materials to our stockholders on or about March 23, 2017. A copy of this proxy statement, the proxy card and our 2016 Annual Report for fiscal year 2016 (collectively, the "Proxy Materials") can be found at the web address www.proxyvote.com.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the following matters:


•	Proposal I: To elect one director, described in this proxy statement, nominated for a term to expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.


•	Proposal II: To ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as independent public accountants for 2017.

•

Proposal III: To approve the First Amendment to the Fox Factory Holding Corp. 2013 Omnibus Plan (the "2013 Omnibus Plan") to (i) remove the limit on the aggregate number of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards available for issuance thereunder and (ii) remove the ability to recycle any shares underlying outstanding awards that are ultimately settled for cash (the "First Amendment").

The stockholders will also act on any other business that may properly come before the meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

How are the proxy materials being delivered?

The Securities and Exchange Commission, which we referred to as the SEC, has adopted a “Notice and Access” rule that allows companies to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which we refer to as the Notice, to stockholders in lieu of a paper copy of the Proxy Materials. The Notice provides instructions as to how shares can be voted. Shares must be voted either by telephone, online or by completing and returning a proxy card. Shares cannot be voted by marking, writing on and/or returning the Notice of Internet Availability. Any Notices that are returned will not be counted as votes. Instructions for requesting a paper copy of the Proxy Materials are set forth on the Notice.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON MAY 4, 2017:

The Proxy Materials are available at www.proxyvote.com. Enter the 12-digit control number located on the Notice or proxy card to access the Proxy Materials.

Who may attend the Annual Meeting?

Anyone who was a stockholder as of the close of business on March 6, 2017 may attend the Annual Meeting. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) has been selected as our inspector of election. As part of its responsibilities, Broadridge is required to independently verify that you are a FOX stockholder eligible to attend the Annual Meeting and to determine whether you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on March 6, 2017, the record date, are entitled to vote. There were 37,210,918 shares of common stock outstanding on March 6, 2017. Stockholders are entitled to cast one vote per share on all matters.

What documents am I required to bring in order to vote at the Annual Meeting if I am voting as a stockholder?

The documents you will need to provide to be admitted to the Annual Meeting depend on whether you are a stockholder of record or you represent a stockholder of record. If you are a stockholder of record holding shares in your own name, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a form of government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport). Trustees who are individuals and named as stockholders of record are in this category. If you attend on behalf of a stockholder of record, whether such stockholder is an individual, corporation, trust or partnership, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a form of government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport) and either a letter from that stockholder of record authorizing you to attend the Annual Meeting on their behalf or we must have received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, May 3, 2017 a duly executed proxy card from the stockholder of record appointing you as proxy.

What documents am I required to bring in order to vote at the Annual Meeting if I am voting as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are held in street name, your name does not appear on the share register of the Company. The documents you will need to provide to be admitted to the Annual Meeting depend on whether you are a beneficial owner or you represent a beneficial owner. If you are a beneficial owner, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a form of government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport) and either a legal proxy that you have obtained from your bank or broker or your most recent brokerage account statement or a recent letter from your bank or broker showing that you own shares of the Company. If you attend on behalf of a beneficial owner, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the beneficial owner authorizing you to represent such beneficial owner’s shares at the Annual Meeting and the identification and documentation specified above for individual beneficial owners.

How do I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders of record may vote their shares in person at the Annual Meeting by ballot. Each proposal has a separate ballot. You must properly complete, sign, date and return the ballots to the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting to vote in person. To receive ballots, you must bring with you the documents described above. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

Properly appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf by promptly submitting the proxy card, which is solicited by the Board. The persons named in the proxy card have been designated as proxies by our Board. The designated proxies are officers of the Company. They will vote as directed by the completed proxy card. Stockholders of record also have the opportunity to appoint another person to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on their behalf by inserting such other person’s name on the proxy card and returning the duly executed proxy card to us.

There are three ways to vote by proxy:


1.	By Mail -

Complete, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Vote Processing; c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.


2.	By Telephone - 1-800-690-6903

Use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time May 3, 2017. Have your proxy card in hand when you call and then follow the instructions.


3.	By the internet - www.proxyvote.com

Use the internet to transmit your voting instructions and for electronic delivery of information up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time May 3, 2017. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the web site and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form.

If you received a proxy card in the mail but choose to vote by telephone or internet, you do not need to return your proxy card.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other record holder, follow the voting instructions on the form that you receive from them. The availability of telephone or internet voting will depend on the bank’s, broker’s or other record holder’s voting process. Your bank, broker or other record holder may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion as to some of the matters to be acted upon. Therefore, please give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other record holder.

You may vote by phone or internet until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time May 3, 2017, or Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. must receive your paper proxy card by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 3, 2017.

How will my proxy be voted?

All properly completed, unrevoked proxies, which are received prior to the close of voting at the Annual Meeting, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made. If a properly executed, unrevoked written proxy card does not specifically direct the voting of shares covered, the proxy will be voted:


•	FOR the individual nominated as a director in Proposal I, described in this proxy statement, for a term to expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;


•	FOR Proposal II, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for 2017;


•	FOR Proposal III, the approval of the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan to (i) remove the limit on the aggregate number of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards available for issuance thereunder and (ii) remove the ability to recycle any shares underlying outstanding awards that are ultimately settled for cash; and


•	in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the proxy as to such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

The Board is not aware of any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. However, should any such matters come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy card to vote all proxies (unless otherwise directed by stockholders) in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

May I revoke or change my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is actually voted by giving written notice of revocation to our Secretary, by delivering a proxy bearing a later date or by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically make that request. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker or other record holder or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other record holder giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Will my vote be made public?

All proxies, ballots and voting materials that identify the votes of specific stockholders will generally be kept confidential, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements and to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote.

What constitutes a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date is considered a quorum for the transaction of business. If you submit a properly completed proxy or if you appear at the Annual Meeting to vote in person, your shares of common stock will be considered part of the quorum.

Shares represented by proxies that are marked “Abstain” or "Withhold" or will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares of stock entitled to vote that are represented by broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when the broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power to vote on that proposal without specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

How many votes are needed to approve a proposal?

Assuming the presence of a quorum, each director nominee receiving a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting (in person or by proxy) will be elected as a director. No stockholder shall be permitted to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Broker non-votes and withheld votes are not counted toward the election of directors or toward the election of the individual nominees specified on the proxy and therefore, withheld votes shall have no effect on Proposal I. The election of directors, is a non-discretionary item and brokers may not vote on Proposal I without specific voting instructions from beneficial owners, resulting in a broker non-vote.

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accountants for 2017. An abstention is not counted toward the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, and the effect of an abstention is the same as a vote “Against” the ratification. Ratification of auditor appointment is a discretionary item upon which your bank or broker has the authority to vote uninstructed shares. Should your broker not indicate their vote relating to the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2017, but otherwise appoint the proxies, your shares will be voted “For” the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2017.

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan. Broker non-votes and abstentions are not counted toward the approval of the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan, and the effect of a broker non-vote or an abstention is the same as a vote “Against” the approval. The approval of the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan, is a non-discretionary item and brokers may not vote on Proposal III without specific voting instructions from beneficial owners, resulting in a broker non-vote.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of election.

How can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will report the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

How does Fox’s status as an “emerging growth company” affect this proxy?

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is defined in Section 2(A) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We have taken advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that do not qualify as emerging growth companies, including, without limitation, reduced disclosure obligations relating to executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay,” “say-when-on-pay” and “golden parachute” executive compensation votes.

How is the solicitation being made?

This solicitation is being made by us and as such the cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. Solicitation may be made by our directors, officers, and employees, personally or by telephone, email or fax. The Notice and, if requested, the Proxy Materials, will be distributed to beneficial owners of stock through brokers, custodians, nominees and other like parties, and we expect to reimburse such parties for their charges and expenses.

Where can I find more information about Fox Factory Holding Corp.?

We file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may read and copy this information at the SEC’s public reference facilities. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about these facilities. This information is also available at our website at http://investor.ridefox.com/ and at the internet site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Proposal II)

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.

General

Our Audit Committee has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as independent public accountants to examine our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 29, 2017, and has determined that it would be desirable to request that the stockholders ratify the appointment.

The Board recommends and asks that you ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP to serve as independent auditor for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2017. You may vote “For” or “Against” this proposal, or you may “Abstain” from voting.

Grant Thornton LLP is a registered public accounting firm and audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014. Based on its past performance during these audits, the Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP as the independent auditor to perform the audit of our financial statements for fiscal year 2017. Information regarding Grant Thornton LLP can be found at www.grantthornton.com.

Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees

(2)

"Audit-Related Fees" are fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for professional service that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include consultations and audits related to mergers and acquisitions; and services related to offering of common stock and consents for registration statements.


(3)	“Tax fees” are fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for professional services rendered in connection with tax compliance, advice and corporate tax planning.

The Audit Committee has evaluated Grant Thornton LLP’s qualification, performance and independence and has determined that services provided by Grant Thornton LLP were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve any independent accountant’s engagement to render audit and or permissible non-audit services (including the fees charged and proposed to be charged by independent accountants) subject to the de minimus exceptions under Section10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as otherwise required by law. Non-audit services may include audit-related services, tax services, or other services. The Audit Committee annually reviews whether the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee pre-approved all "Audit-Related Fees" and "Tax Fees" in 2016 and 2015.

APPROVAL OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

FOX FACTORY HOLDING CORP.

2013 OMNIBUS PLAN

(Proposal III)

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.

General

In July 2013 and August 2013, our Board and stockholders, respectively, adopted the Fox Factory Holding Corp. 2013 Omnibus Plan (the “2013 Omnibus Plan”), which became effective on the closing our initial public offering and serves as the successor to our 2008 Plan and 2008 Non-Statutory Plan. In June 2014, our stockholders approved the 2013 Omnibus Plan. The 2013 Omnibus Plan is the sole plan under which we make equity-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants. The 2008 Plan and the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan, however, continue to govern the terms and conditions of awards originally granted under the 2008 Plan and the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan, respectively.

Description of the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan

The use of equity-based awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan has been a key component of our compensation program since its adoption. The equity-based awards granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan assist us in attracting and retaining capable, talented individuals to serve in the capacity of employees, officers and directors. The 2013 Omnibus Plan currently provides for 3,694,417 shares of our common stock to be used in connection with the grants of equity-based awards pursuant to the 2013 Omnibus Plan including 62,708 that became available due to forfeitures under other plans. As of March 2, 2017, 1,972,731 shares of our common stock were available for future awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan. However, of the shares originally reserved under the 2013 Omnibus Plan only 1,815,854 shares of our common stock can be used for the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards, and 1,717,041 shares of our common stock are the subject of restricted stock unit awards granted under the Plan, leaving only 98,813 shares available for future grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock. On March 15, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to the approval of our stockholders, the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan, which would (i) eliminate the 1,815,854 share limit on restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards and (ii) remove the ability to recycle any shares underlying outstanding awards that are ultimately settled for cash (the “First Amendment”). Accordingly, we are now requesting that our stockholders approve this First Amendment in order to (i) eliminate the 1,815,854 share limit on restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards and (ii) provide that to the extent that any outstanding award is settled in cash instead of shares, the allocable shares to such portion of the award may not again be subject to an award granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan.

Consequences of Failure to Approve the Proposal

Our stockholders are only voting on the First Amendment to the 2013 Omnibus Plan. The 2013 Omnibus Plan shall continue regardless of the outcome of our stockholders’ vote. Further, failure of our stockholders to approve this Proposal No. 3 will not affect the rights of existing award holders under the 2013 Omnibus Plan or under any previously granted awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan. However, if this Proposal No. 3 is not approved, as restricted stock unit awards have traditionally been a fundamental element of our compensation philosophy and we believe that such awards further our goal of providing a long-term incentive for our employees and directors by motivating them to increase our common stock’s value, we will be required to reevaluate our compensation program in general.

The 2013 Omnibus Plan

Summary of the 2013 Omnibus Plan

The following is a summary of the principal features of the 2013 Omnibus Plan, as amended by the First Amendment. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the 2013 Omnibus Plan, as amended by the First Amendment. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2013 Omnibus Plan, as amended by the First Amendment. A copy of the 2013 Omnibus Plan, as amended by the First Amendment is attached to this Proxy in Exhibit A and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Share reserve. There are 3,631,709 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2013 Omnibus Plan, plus an additional number of shares equal to any shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan and the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan and which either cease for any reason to be subject to such awards or are forfeited, canceled or repurchased at their original issue price. However, of the shares of common stock authorized, only 1,815,854 shares of our common stock can be used for the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock awards. Currently, there are 1,972,731 shares of common stock available for future awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan, and 98,813 shares available for future grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock. In addition, the following shares of our common stock may become available for grant or issuance under the 2013 Omnibus Plan:


•	shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan that are subsequently forfeited or canceled;


•	shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan that otherwise terminate without shares being issued; and


•	shares surrendered, canceled or exchanged for cash (but not shares surrendered to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes associated with the award).

Following the First Amendment, any shares surrendered, canceled or exchanged for cash may not again be subject to an award granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan.

Term. No awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan will be made more than 10 years from the date our Board approved the plan.

Eligibility. Only our and our affiliates’ employees, consultants and board members are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan, although awards may be made to employees and consultants to whom an offer of employment has been or is being extended. Our Compensation Committee determines who will receive awards, and all of their terms and conditions. There are currently a total of 98 active participants consisting of 95 employees and 3 board members who participate under the basis of continued service under the 2013 Omnibus Plan.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding grants of equity awards made under the 2013 Omnibus Plan during fiscal year 2016 for each of the following: (i) each of the named executive officers; (ii) all current executive officers of the Company as a group; (iii) all current directors who are not executive officers as a group; and (iv) all employees, including all current officers who are not executive officers, as a group:



Name and Position	Dollar Value of Restricted Stock Units		Total Number of Shares Underlying Restricted Stock Units
Larry L. Enterline, Director and Chief Executive Officer	$	—	—
William Katherman, Senior Vice President Global Operations	259,380		18,000
Thomas Wittenschlaeger, Vice President and General Manager, Powered Vehicles Group	360,250		25,000
Executive Group, including named executive officers	792,550		55,000
Non-Executive Director Group	160,000		9,212
Non-Executive Officer Employee Group	4,449,399		276,850
Total	$	5,401,949	$	341,062

Administration. The 2013 Omnibus Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee, all of the members of which are non-employee directors under applicable federal securities laws and outside directors as defined under applicable federal tax laws. Our Compensation Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the 2013 Omnibus Plan, grant awards and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the plan. Awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan may be made subject to performance goals based upon performance criteria and other terms in order to qualify as performance based compensation for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Award forms and limitations. The 2013 Omnibus Plan authorizes the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, performance-based compensation and other stock-based awards. For stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options, or ISOs, under Section 422 of the Code, the maximum number of shares subject to ISO awards is 3,631,709. The maximum will be 907,927 shares for each of the following award types granted to any one person within any fiscal year of ours: (i) the shares subject to ISOs, (ii) the shares subject to stock options and stock appreciation rights, (iii) the shares subject to performance-based compensation awards, (iv) restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock, and (v) all other stock-based awards. The 2013 Omnibus Plan currently contains a limit on the number of restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock that may be issued under the 2013 Omnibus Plan, however, the First Amendment eliminates such limit.

Stock options. The 2013 Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of ISOs only to our employees. All options other than ISOs may be granted to our employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors. The exercise price of each stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of ISOs granted to 10% or more stockholders must be at least equal to 110% of that value. Our Compensation Committee may provide for options to be exercised only as they vest or to be immediately exercisable with any shares issued on exercise being subject to our right of repurchase that lapses as the shares vest. In general, options will vest over a four-year period. The maximum term of options granted the 2013 Omnibus Plan is 10 years (five years in the case of ISOs granted to 10% or more stockholders).

Stock appreciation rights. Stock appreciation rights provide for a payment, or payments, in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price that must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may vest based on time or achievement of performance conditions.

Restricted stock. A restricted stock award is an offer by us to issue or to sell shares of our common stock subject to restrictions. The price (if any) of a restricted stock award is determined by our Compensation Committee. Unless otherwise determined by our Compensation Committee at the time of award, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to us and unvested shares will be forfeited to or repurchased by us.

Restricted stock units. A restricted stock unit is an award that covers a number of shares of our common stock that may be settled upon vesting in cash, by the issuance of the underlying shares or a combination of both. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain performance conditions.

Unrestricted stock. An unrestricted stock award is an award of shares of our common stock that is issued without forfeiture restrictions.

Other stock-based awards. Stock-based awards, such as dividend equivalent rights and other awards denominated or payable in shares of our common stock may be granted as additional compensation for services or performance.

Performance-based compensation. An award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) of performance-based compensation that is earned upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and settled (paid) in the form of cash or by issuance of shares. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment or failure to achieve the performance goals. We have the flexibility, but not the obligation, to structure these awards in a manner so as to exempt them from the deduction limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code.

Performance-based compensation criteria. The Compensation Committee may grant eligible plan participants shares of our common stock or cash in accordance with the achievement of performance goals during a performance period. Performance goals are established in writing by the Compensation Committee for the performance period, at least one year in duration, based upon performance criteria. The performance criteria for such performance goals applicable to any performance based-compensation that is intended to qualify for the performance-based exception from the tax deductibility limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code relating to our four covered employees shall be based on one or more of the following criteria (either individually, alternatively or in any combination):



return on net assets	cash flows	return on assets	return on capital
revenue	average revenue	stockholder returns	profit margin
earnings per share	net earnings	operating earnings	free cash flow
growth of business	enterprise value	capital expenses	cost targets
share price	sales or market share	operating expenses
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization	equity market capitalization	return on stockholder’s equity

With respect to performance-based compensation the Compensation Committee intends to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent required under 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee shall, within the first ninety (90) days of a performance period (or within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for such performance period.

The Compensation Committee is authorized at any time during the first ninety (90) days of a performance period, or at any time thereafter (but only to the extent the exercises of such authority after the first ninety (90) days of a performance period would not cause the performance-based compensation granted to any eligible participant for the performance period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code), in its sole discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a performance goal for such performance period to the extent permitted under 162(m) of the Code in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of the eligible participants, (1) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event, or development affecting the Company; or (b) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions. Achievement of performance goals may be measured by including or excluding items determined to be extraordinary, unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, related to the acquisition or disposition of a business, or related to a change in accounting principle, in each case based on Opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board, or other applicable accounting rules, or consistent with the Companies policies and practices for measuring the achievement of performance goals on the date on which the Compensation Committee establishes the performance goals.

Additional provisions. Awards granted under the 2013 Omnibus Plan may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or as determined by our Compensation Committee. Unless otherwise restricted by our Compensation Committee, awards that are non-ISOs or stock appreciation rights may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee, the optionee’s guardian or legal representative, or a family member of the optionee who has acquired the non-ISOs or stock appreciation rights by a permitted transfer. Awards that are ISOs may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee or the optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

If we experience a change of control transaction, and unless an award provides otherwise: outstanding awards, including any vesting provisions, may be assumed or substituted by the successor company, and outstanding awards that are not assumed or substituted will become fully vested and non-forfeitable, exercisable in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, and satisfied at target levels in the case of performance-based awards. Unless an award provides otherwise, if an award is assumed or substituted by the successor company in connection with a change of control transaction and the holder’s employment or service to us is terminated without cause or the holder terminates his or her employment or service to us for good reason, in each case within 24 months of such change of control transaction, all assumed or substituted awards held by such holder will become fully vested and non-forfeitable. All awards will be equitably adjusted in the case of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions.

New Plan Benefits

We cannot currently determine the number of shares subject to awards that maybe granted in the future to executive officers, directors and employees under the 2013 Omnibus Plan because awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan are determined by the plan administrator in its discretion. Information regarding individual awards to each of our named executive officers during fiscal 2016 is set forth under "Director Compensation" below. Additional information regarding our outstanding awards and available shares as of December 31, 2016 is set forth under "Equity Compensation Plan Information" below.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Non-employee Director Compensation for 2016

Any non-employee director who, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns 5% or more of outstanding securities or is employed by or represents a stockholder of us that, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding securities is not entitled to receive any cash compensation or equity-based compensation for his or her service on the Board. Such non-employee director is, however, entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses which he or she properly incurs in connection with attending Board meetings and performing duties as a director.

For 2016, our Non-employee Director Compensation Plan provided for an annual cash retainer of $40,000, payable quarterly for service as a director of Fox Factory Holding Corp. The chairpersons of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee are provided additional retainers of $15,000, $7,500 and $7,500 respectively. Our Lead Independent Director is paid an annual retainer of $10,000, plus the other retainers and compensation he may receive. Each non-employee director serving on a committee of the Board is paid an additional $1,000 for each meeting of the committee attended by such director telephonically or in person. Finally, each of the non-employee directors is entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses, which they properly incur in connection with attending Board meetings and their duties as a director.

Pursuant to our Non-employee Director Compensation Plan, non-employee directors are also granted annual equity-based compensation awards in the form of restricted share units pursuant to the 2013 Omnibus Plan. These awards vest on the day immediately prior to the next annual meeting, subject to accelerated vesting in the event of the director’s death or a change in control of the Company and are subject to such additional terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable award agreement and plan. Subject to applicable laws and our policies in place for equity-based awards, through 2016, the non-employee directors were entitled to receive an annual award of restricted stock units determined by dividing $40,000 (or such other amount as determined by the Board in its sole discretion), by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. In 2016, each non-employee director received an award of 2,303 restricted stock units on May 5, 2016. In recognition of Mr. Hagin's significant contributions to the Company and the Board, the Compensation Committee determined to accelerate the vesting of Mr. Hagin's 2016 award in connection with his resignation on January 12, 2017. All other awards will vest on the day immediately prior to the 2017 Annual Meeting, subject to accelerated vesting in the event of a director’s death or a change in control of the Company.

In 2016, the Compensation Committee engaged AON Hewett to undertake a study of the Non-employee Director Compensation Plan by developing a peer group for benchmarking and reviewing existing Non-director compensation programs and recommending changes, as appropriate. As a result, the Compensation Committee approved increases to the Non-employee Director Compensation Plan beginning in 2017, including increasing the annual cash retainer to $50,000 and increasing the annual award of restricted stock units to an amount determined by dividing $50,000 by the closing price of our common stock on the day of grant. The Compensation Committee believes that the 2017 compensation is in line with industry norms for the Company's peer group.

The following table sets forth information for the year ended December 30, 2016 regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to persons who served as our directors during 2016 who are not named executive officers. Mr. Sabo served on our Board on behalf of Compass and received no compensation for his services as a director in 2016. Mr. Fox, the founder of our Subsidiary, also received no compensation for his services as a director in 2016.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which currently consists of six members. The primary responsibilities of our Board are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and direction to our management.

The Board of Directors

Governance Guidelines

Our Board has adopted a set of governance guidelines (the "Governance Guidelines") to assist our Board and its committees in performing their duties and serving the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. The Governance Guidelines cover topics including, but not limited to, director selection and qualification, director responsibilities and operation of our Board, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, succession planning, recoupment of performance-based compensation and the annual evaluations of our Board.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors involved in the oversight of our day-to-day operations, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior officers. The code of business conduct and ethics is posted on our website. The code of business conduct and ethics can only be amended by the approval of a majority of our Board, including a majority of our independent directors. Any waiver to the code of business conduct and ethics for an executive officer or director may only be granted by our Board and must be timely disclosed as required by applicable law. Any amendments to the code of business conduct and ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

Leadership Structure

Our Board has been set to be seven members, although it is currently comprised of six members, three of whom are independent and one of whom is an officer of our Company. The Board believes its current leadership structure best serves the interest of the stockholders. The Board does not have a policy as to whether the Chairman should be an independent director, but when the Chairman is not an independent director the independent directors appoint a “Lead Independent Director.” Mr. Sabo is our Chairman and leads our Board. He presides at all meetings of stockholders and the Board. Mr. Enterline, as Chief Executive Officer, has general charge and management of the affairs, property and business of the corporation, under the oversight, and subject to the review and direction, of the Board. The separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on leading the day to day operations of the Company while the Chairman can focus on leading the Board in its consideration of strategic issues and monitoring corporate governance, community relations and stockholder issues. We also have a Lead Independent Director, Mr. Mendenhall. Mr. Mendenhall, in his role as a Lead Independent Director, chairs executive sessions of the independent directors, and, if appropriate, is available for consultation with stockholders.

Our Board has three standing committees, comprised solely of independent directors, the Audit Committee, chaired by Mr. Mendenhall, the Compensation Committee, chaired by Mr. Waitman, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, chaired by Mr. Nichols. The responsibilities and authority of each committee are described below.

Risk Oversight

The Board believes risk management is an important aspect of our business. While the Board as a whole ultimately has the responsibility for overseeing risk management, the Board has delegated certain duties with respect to risk oversight to our Audit Committee. In furtherance of such purpose, the Audit Committee Charter specifically requires the Audit Committee to discuss with management, the internal auditor or internal audit service provider, as the case may be, and the independent accountant the Company’s major risk exposures (whether financial, operations or both) and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposure, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. The Audit Committee reports back to the Board with its findings.

Board Meetings

During 2016, the Board held four meetings. All of our directors who served in 2016 attended or participated in 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which such person has been a director) and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such person served (during the periods that such person served).

Attendance of Directors at 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Pursuant to our governance guidelines, our directors are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Two of our directors attended our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Our Board has adopted a written related person transaction policy, which sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, and employment by us of a related person. As provided by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving in advance any related party transaction.

Contractual Arrangements with Related Parties

In addition to the director and executive officer compensation arrangements discussed under “Director Compensation” and “Executive Compensation,” the following is a summary of material provisions of transactions occurring since January 1, 2016, of which we have been a party and in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or entities affiliated with them, have had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Compass. Compass was a selling stockholder in various offerings of common stock, which closed March 13, 2017, November 22, 2016, August 12, 2016, March 16, 2016, and July 16, 2014. Compass is managed by CGM. In addition, one of our directors, Elias Sabo, owns a portion and is the sole manager of CGM.

In September 2014, we entered into an agreement with Compass for the provision of services to FOX and assistance in complying the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Services Agreement”). The Services Agreement terminated on March 31, 2016. A statement of work was agreed to in connection with the Service Agreement, which provided that the Compass’ internal audit team would assist us with various tasks, including, but not limited to, the development of internal control policies and procedures, risk and control matrices and the evaluation of internal controls. Services provided in accordance with the Services Agreement were billed on a time and materials basis. Fees paid for services provided for compliance associated with our fiscal 2015 financial statements were approximately $135,000, including $72,000 expensed in the twelve months ended December 30, 2016.

On March 9, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with Compass (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, on March 16, 2016, the Company closed on the repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 held by Compass in a private transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $7,947,500 or $15.895 per share. The Company funded the private repurchase transaction with cash on hand and borrowings from its revolving credit agreement. The repurchased shares are being held as treasury stock of the Company.

Registration Rights Agreement. We entered into a registration rights agreement with Compass and certain other stockholders, which was most recently amended and restated in May 2013. The registration rights agreement provides our stockholders and their permitted transferees with certain demand registration rights in respect of the shares of our common stock held by them. In addition, in the event that we register additional shares of our common stock for sale to the public, we will be required to give notice of such registration to Compass and the other stockholders party to the agreement of our intention to effect such a registration, and, subject to certain limitations, Compass and such holders will have piggyback registration rights providing them with the right to require us to include shares of our common stock held by them in such registration. We will be required to bear the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, associated with any registration of shares described above. Compass and Robert C. Fox, Jr. have exercised their rights under the registration rights agreement at various times. Both Compass and Robert C. Fox, Jr. have had certain of their shares of our common stock owned by them registered, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, on our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed in connection with our initial public offering in 2013 (File No. 333-189841), on our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed in connection with our follow-on public offering in 2014 (File No. 333-196945) and most recently on our Form S-3 Registration Statement (File No. 333-203146) initially filed in March, 2015 and supplemented by our prospectus supplements dated March 7, 2017, November 16, 2016, August 8, 2016, and March 11, 2016 to the base prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We estimate that we will spend approximately $4 million in the aggregate on registering our common stock under the Registration Statements mentioned above, such estimate includes the estimate of expenses relating to the most recent registration in March, 2017 and is inclusive of expenses incurred with respect to the registration of our common stock by us and by Compass and Robert C. Fox, Jr.

Real Property Leases. Under a triple net lease dated July 1, 2003, we rent our Watsonville, California manufacturing and office facilities from Robert C. Fox, Jr., the founder of our Subsidiary and a minority stockholder of our Company. Under this lease we paid Mr. Fox $0.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2016 and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The lease ends on June 30, 2020, and is subject to annual adjustments for cost-of-living based upon the Consumer Price Index. Under a sublease dated January 1, 2012 and sublease Addendum dated June 28, 2013, we subleased approximately 3,665 square feet of space on the first floor of the building of our headquarters, 915 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley, California, to Mr. Fox. These premises are permitted to be used for research and development and office space. Under this sublease, Mr. Fox paid rent in the amount of $5,000 per month through June 30, 2015, at which time the sublease was canceled.

Related Party Employment. A family member of Mr. Fox, the founder of our Subsidiary and a minority stockholder of our Company, is employed by our Subsidiary as Director of Bike Operations. During the year ended December 30, 2016, the Director of Bike Operations earned salary of approximately $132,000 as well as incentive compensation of approximately $23,000. In February 2016, the Director of Bike Operations was awarded 1,600 restricted stock units with an aggregate market value of $23,056. The restricted stock units vest in four annual installments beginning in February 2017.

Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement. In connection with our IPO, we entered into an Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement (the "Information Agreement") with Compass Diversified Holdings, on behalf of itself and Compass. Under the Information Agreement, the parties agreed to share certain information with each other, refrain from changing their respective fiscal year without the consent of the other party, refrain from making or adopting certain changes to their accounting estimates or accounting policies and principles and consult and cooperate with each other as to the timing of certain SEC filings, earnings releases, press releases and other public disclosures. Subject to its terms, under the Information Agreement we also agreed to select the same registered public accounting firm as Compass; maintain appropriate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting; and prepare and deliver to Compass certain financial information and reports, including reports to be filed with the SEC. The majority of our obligations in the Information Agreement terminate at such time as Compass is no longer required to consolidate our results of operations and financial position while our remaining obligations terminate at such time as Compass is no longer required to account for its investment in us under the equity method of accounting. As a result of Compass no longer being required to account for its investment in us under the equity method of accounting, the Information Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms.

Director Independence

The rules and listing standards of NASDAQ, or the Nasdaq Listing Rules, generally require a majority of the members of our Board satisfy the Nasdaq Listing Rules criteria for “independence.” Due to the resignation of Mr. Joseph Hagin in January 2017 we are currently not in compliance with such requirement. No director qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules unless our Board affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship with us that would impair independence (directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). Mr. Hagin was determined by the Board to be independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Mendenhall, Nichols and Waitman are independent directors as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Enterline, Mr. Sabo and Mr. Fox have been determined to not be independent by our Board. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions and Director Independence-Compass” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions and Director Independence-Real Property Leases” above for additional information.

Nominations of Directors and Diversity

Consideration of Director Nominees

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually assesses the size and composition of the Board in light of our operating requirements and has determined that seven (7) is the appropriate number of directors to have on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also identifies and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to candidates for election as directors by stockholders at our annual meetings. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews candidates with certain criteria in mind, including, but not limited to: (a) qualities of intelligence, honesty, perceptiveness and responsibility; (b) a general interest in FOX and a recognition that, as a member of the Board, each director is accountable to the stockholders of FOX; (c) having a background that demonstrates an understanding of business and financial affairs of other organizations of comparable or large purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar or greater legal restrictions and oversight; (d) being able to contribute to the effective management of the Company, taking into account the needs of the Company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate; (e) having no conflict of interest or legal impediment that would interfere with the duty of loyalty owed to the Company and its stockholders; (f) having no relationships that might impair his or her independence, including, but not limited to, business, financial or family relationships with the Company’s management; (g) possessing skills necessary for service on any Board committee; (h) being compatible and able to work well with other directors and executives in a team effort with a view to a long-term relationship with the Company as a director; and (i) possessing skills necessary for service on any Board committee. These criteria are set forth in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is in the process of identifying an appropriate candidate to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Hagin's resignation as a Class I director, but at this time no such candidate has been identified.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders provided the procedures set forth below are followed by stockholders in submitting recommendations, as provided for in the Policy Regarding Stockholder Recommendations of Director Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates a candidate for nomination to the Board based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board at an annual meeting of the stockholders must do so by delivering no later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee c/o Fox Factory Holding Corp., 915 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley, CA 95066, Attn: General Counsel and must meet the deadlines and other requirements set for in our Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Fox Factory Holding Corp. Policy Regarding Security Holder Recommendations of Director Nominees and the rules and regulations of the SEC. If a proposed director candidate is recommended by a stockholder in accordance with the procedural requirements discussed above, the General Counsel will provide the stockholder recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate the proposed director’s candidacy and recommend whether the Board should nominate the proposed director candidate for election by our stockholders.

Diversity

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a formal Diversity Policy, within the Nominating and Corporate Governance Charter. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that differences in experiences, knowledge, skills and viewpoints enhance the Board’s overall performance. Thus, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers such diversity in selecting, evaluating and recommending proposed director candidates.

Communications with the Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with the Board or an individual director may send a written communication to the Board or such director, c/o Fox Factory Holding Corp., 915 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley, CA 95066, Attn: General Counsel. Communications may also be sent to the General Counsel by email at dhaugen@ridefox.com.

Each communication must be in the form described in the Fox Factory Holding Corp. Process for Security Holder Communications with the Board of Directors, posted on our website, www.ridefox.com. Communications determined by our General Counsel to be appropriate for presentation to the Board or such director will be submitted to the Board or such director on a periodic basis. Any communications that concern questionable accounting or auditing matters involving us will be handled in accordance with the terms or our Code of Ethics.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. No member of our Compensation Committee was an employee or officer of FOX during 2016, or was formerly an employee of FOX. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of a board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Clawback Policy. In July 2013, our Board adopted the “Policy Regarding Recoupment of Incentive Compensation upon Restatement or Misstatement of Financial Results, or as Required By Law.” According to the Clawback Policy, if, in the opinion of the independent directors of the Board, the Company's financial results are materially misstated due in whole or in part to intentional fraud or misconduct by one or more of the Company's executive officers, the independent directors have the discretion to use their best efforts to remedy the fraud or misconduct and prevent its recurrence. The independent directors may, for up to five (5) years following such misstatement and subject to the limitations herein, direct that the Company recover all or a portion of any bonus or incentive compensation paid, or cancel the stock-based awards granted, to the executive officer(s), as well as seek to recoup any gains realized with respect to equity-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units. However, these “clawbacks” can only ensue if the following conditions have been met: (1) the bonus or incentive compensation to be recouped was calculated based upon the financial results that were restated, (2) one or more executive officers engaged in the intentional misconduct, and (3) the bonus or incentive compensation calculated under the restated financial results is less than the amount actually paid or awarded.

Health and welfare benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, group life and disability insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as other employees.

401(k) plan

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan, our 401(k) plan, which provides all regular employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under our 401(k) plan, participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis and have it contributed to the plan subject to applicable annual limits set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in select investment alternatives according to the participants’ directions. Our 401(k) plan allows for matching contributions to be made by us. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to our 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed and all contributions are deductible by us when made.

We reimburse our named executive officers for reasonable travel and lodging expenses incurred in connection with their employment.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements

General Terms of Employment Agreements

In July 2013, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Enterline in connection with the closing of our IPO. An employment agreement was entered into with Mr. Katherman in February 2014 upon his promotion to Senior Vice President, Global Operations. In January 2015 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Wittenschlaeger in connection with his hiring. These employment agreements were amended on May 2, 2016 and Mr. Katherman's was further amended on October 19, 2016. The aforementioned employment agreements provide for base salaries, incentive compensation benefits, and, in certain circumstances, severance benefits.

Compensation Terms of Employment Agreements, as Amended

The employment agreements with each of Messrs. Enterline, Katherman and Wittenschlaeger provide for an initial base salary of $750,000, $250,000, and $250,000, respectively. Messrs. Enterline, Katherman and Wittenschlaeger are also eligible to receive a bonus (the “Performance Bonus”) based on three levels: minimum, target and maximum. Pursuant to such agreements, the Compensation Committee may from time to time at its discretion increase the salaries of Messrs. Enterline, Katherman and Wittenschlaeger. In 2015 and 2016 the Compensation Committee approved increases to Mr. Katherman's base salary. In 2016, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to Mr. Wittenschlaeger's salary.

Mr. Enterline’s possible Performance Bonus is only comprised of a bonus (an “EBITDA Bonus”) based on our achievement of a percentage of target EBITDA of the Company (“Target EBITDA”). Mr. Enterline is eligible to receive an EBITDA Bonus ranging from $250,000 to $750,000 based on our achievement of 90%, the minimum level, and over 110%, the maximum level, of the Target EBITDA respectively. Mr. Enterline will not receive an EBITDA Bonus, and therefore will not receive a Performance Bonus, if we are unable to meet the minimum level, 90%, of the Target EBITDA for the fiscal year.

Mr. Katherman's possible Performance Bonus is only comprised of an EBITDA Bonus ranging from 25% to 75% of his most current annual salary based on our achievement of 90%, the minimum level, and over 110%, the maximum level, of the Target EBITDA respectively. Mr. Katherman will not receive any portion of his Performance Bonus if we are unable to meet the minimum level, 90%, of the Target EBITDA for the fiscal year.

Mr. Wittenschlaeger is eligible to receive a Performance Bonus comprised of an EBITDA Bonus, a discretionary bonus based on the achievement of individual performance ratings (the "Rating Bonus"), and a bonus (the “Division EBITDA Bonus”) based on the power sports division of the Company (the “Power Sports Division”) achieving a certain EBITDA (“Target Division EBITDA”). Mr. Wittenschlaeger is eligible to receive an EBITDA Bonus ranging from 12.5% to 37.5% of his most current annual salary based on our achievement of 90%, the minimum level, and over 110%, the maximum level, of the Target EBITDA respectively. In addition to the EBITDA Bonus, Mr. Wittenschlaeger is eligible to receive a Rating Bonus ranging from 5% to 15% of his most current annual salary, determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion based on their determination of individual performance rating criteria. Finally, Mr. Wittenschlaeger is eligible to receive a Division EBITDA Bonus ranging from 5% to 15% of his most current annual salary based on the Power Sports Division’s achievement of 90%, the minimum level, and over 110%, the maximum level, of the Target Division EBITDA, respectively. Mr. Wittenschlaeger will not receive any portion of his EBITDA Bonus or Rating Bonus if we are unable to meet the minimum level, 90%, of the Target EBITDA for the fiscal year, Mr. Wittenschlaeger will also not receive any portion of his Division EBITDA Bonus if the Power Sports Division is unable to meet the minimum level, 90%, of the Target Division EBITDA for the fiscal year.

The amount listed under the column “Non-equity incentive plan compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table for 2016 represents the cash bonus amount awarded to each respective individual based on the achievement of such targets. In addition to base salary and performance bonuses, the employment agreements provide for paid time off and the ability to participate in our employee benefit plans on the same terms as other similarly situated executive officers.

Termination Terms of Employment Agreements, as Amended

As described below, the employment agreements also provide the named executive officers with certain payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment. Under the employment agreements, in order to receive certain severance benefits, each named executive officer is required to execute a general release in favor of our Company. Furthermore, the employment agreements prohibit the named executive officers from soliciting our employees for two years following their cessation of employment.

Under the terms of the employment agreements, in the event that a named executive officer resigns without “Good Reason” (as defined below), or his employment terminates due to mutual agreement, death, disability (as defined in the new employment agreements), or for “Cause” (as defined below), such executive is entitled to receive the following payments and compensation: (i) accrued and unpaid annual base salary for services rendered prior to the date of termination or resignation and (ii) reimbursement of any un-reimbursed business expenses as of the date of termination or resignation. In addition, in the event of an executive’s cessation of employment due to his death or disability, such executive is also entitled to receive a pro rata lump sum cash payment of the executive’s performance bonus (which the executive would have earned under his new employment agreement if employed for the entire fiscal year in which such termination occurs, and payable during the year the applicable audited financial statements become available).

In the event a named executive officer’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability, or for “Cause,” or if a named executive officer resigns for “Good Reason,” such executive officer is entitled, provided he executes a release in our favor, to receive the following payments and compensation: (i) accrued and unpaid annual base salary for services rendered prior to the date of termination or resignation; (ii) reimbursement of any un-reimbursed business expenses as of the date of termination or resignation; (iii) (a) severance in an amount equal to the named executive’s annual base salary as of the date of termination, unless the executive’s base salary was reduced in such a way as to trigger a “Good Reason” resignation, in which case the severance amount will be equal to the executive’s annual base salary prior to such reduction, provided that such severance amount is greater than the executive’s base salary at termination, payable in 12 substantially equal payments following execution of a release, or, for Mr. Enterline only, (b) if we terminate Mr. Enterline without Cause within 24 months after a change of control, or he resigns for Good Reason within 24 months after a change of control, severance in an amount equal to two times his annual base salary, payable in 24 equal monthly payments following execution of a release; (iv) a pro rata payment of the executive’s performance bonus (which the executive would have earned under his new employment agreement if employed for the entire fiscal year in which termination occurs, payable during the year the applicable audited financial statements become available); and (v) continued company sharing in the cost of health care insurance during the period executive receives severance.

For purposes of the new employment agreements, termination for “Cause” means with respect to a named executive, one or more of the following: (i) willful or grossly negligent violation of any law which causes material injury to the business of our Company (or any subsidiary) or entry of a plea of nobo contendere (or similar plea) to a charge of such an offense; (ii) conduct causing us or any of our subsidiaries significant public disgrace or disrepute; (iii) any act or omission aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier, or customer of ours or any of our subsidiaries to the material disadvantage or detriment of us and our subsidiaries; (iv) the executive’s willful violation of fiduciary duties to our Company or any subsidiary, including the duty of loyalty and the corporate opportunity doctrine; (v) commission of, or the act of fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or embezzlement, or the executive’s commission of any felony offense; (vi) material breach of the executive’s representations, warranties, or covenants under his new employment agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereto that, if curable and unrelated to a breach of his confidentiality obligations, remains uncured for 15 days following written notice thereof from us to executive; and (vii) refusal to comply with our reasonable orders or directives (including refusal to perform, other than as a result of death or disability, material assigned duties or responsibilities that are consistent with normal business practices and his new employment agreement) or our (or our subsidiaries’) material and reasonable rules, regulations, policies, procedures or practices that are not inconsistent with the terms of his new employment agreement or applicable law, which continues uncured for 15 days following written notice thereof from us to the executive.

A resignation by a named executive officer will be deemed a resignation for “Good Reason” if the executive provides written notice to the company of the specific circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason within 90 days after any one or more of the following events: (i) a reduction in executive’s base salary below the amount as of the date of his new employment agreement (other than a substantially similar reduction applicable to all executives); (ii) for Mr. Katherman and Mr. Wittenschlaeger only, our requiring, without the executive’s consent, that the executive relocate the executive’s principal place of business outside a 30-mile radius from the location where the executive is employed as of the effective date of his employment agreement or such other location as consented to by the executive; (iii) material breach by us of his new employment agreement; or (iv) without the executive’s consent, a material reduction in the executive’s duties or responsibilities. Where curable, we will have 30 days to cure such circumstances upon the receipt of notice from the executive.

RSU Modifications

On September 2, 2014, our Compensation Committee authorized us: (1) to amend the existing Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements (“Original Agreements”) of Messrs. Enterline and Katherman (collectively, the “Officers”) to cancel prior awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that were scheduled to vest after August 13, 2014 (or with respect to Mr. Katherman, RSUs that are scheduled to vest after April 10, 2015) based on time-vesting and (2) to grant new RSUs pursuant to restricted stock unit award agreements (the “Replacement Agreements”) under which each Officer was granted the same number of RSUs as provided in the Original Agreements but, with vesting of RSUs under the Replacement Agreements based on performance-vesting via performance goals, defined in the 2013 Omnibus Plan, so as to ensure the deductibility of performance-vesting RSU payouts as 162(m) performance-based compensation. The Replacement Agreements are substantially similar to the Original Agreements, other than the inclusion of performance-vesting criteria. Each Replacement Agreement provides for three year graded vesting of the new RSUs (i.e., 33 1/3%; 33 1/3%; and 33 1/3%) based both upon the Officer’s service with the Company (as provided in the Original Agreements) and the Company’s achievement of the new performance goals, whereas the Original Agreements did not include performance goals. The new performance goals included in the Replacement Agreements are based on the achievement of certain EBITDA, measured for the twelve month performance period ending on each June 30 prior to the particular vesting date. The Original Agreements were amended on September 2, 2014, such amendments being approved by each applicable Officer, and the Replacement Agreements by and between the Company and the applicable Officer were entered into on September 2, 2014. The grant date for the new RSUs issued under the Replacement Agreements was September 2, 2014. There was no change to the probable amount of RSUs issued as a result of the cancellation, amendment, and regrant, the only change being the addition of the performance-based vesting conditions.

Equity-based incentive plans

2008 Stock Option Plan

Our Board adopted our 2008 Stock Option Plan, or the 2008 Plan, on January 4, 2008, and the 2008 Plan was approved by our stockholders in January 2008. The 2008 Plan was terminated upon the effective date of the 2013 Omnibus Plan. The 2008 Plan is currently administered by our Compensation Committee. Prior to the establishment of our Compensation Committee in July 2013, the 2008 Plan was administered by our Board based on recommendations of the Compensation Committee of our Subsidiary.

Stock subject to the 2008 Plan. As of December 30, 2016, 4,303,138 shares of our common stock had been issued under the 2008 Plan and options to purchase an additional 1,195,988 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2008 Plan.

Stock options. The exercise price of all stock options granted under the 2008 Plan must equal at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (except for greater than 10% owners, as provided below). Incentive stock options granted under the 2008 Plan must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant, and the period for exercising any non-statutory stock options is set by our Compensation Committee; provided, however, that an incentive stock option held by a participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or of the stock of our parents or subsidiaries, may not have a term in excess of five years and must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The option price is payable only in cash, except if our Company undergoes a change of control, in which case the option price may be satisfied through shares obtained through exercise of the option in connection with the change of control. Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, our Compensation Committee determines the remaining terms of the options (e.g., vesting and the period following a participant’s termination of service during which the participant may exercise his or her option, provided that in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term).

Plan termination. Upon the completion our IPO, the 2008 Plan was terminated and no shares of our common stock remain available for future issuance under the 2008 Plan. However, the 2008 Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of awards originally granted under the 2008 Plan. Shares which were subject to outstanding options under the 2008 Plan on August 13, 2013 that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised have again become available for awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan.

2008 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan

Our Board adopted our 2008 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, or the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan, on May 6, 2008. The 2008 Non-Statutory Plan was terminated upon the effective date of the 2013 Omnibus Plan, August 13, 2013. The 2008 Non-Statutory Plan is currently administered by our Compensation Committee. Prior to the establishment of our Compensation Committee in July 2013, the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan was administered by our Board based on recommendations of the Compensation Committee of our Subsidiary.

Stock subject to the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan. As of December 30, 2016, 463,236 shares of our common stock had been issued under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan and options to purchase an additional 254,600 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan.

Stock options. The period for exercising any options granted under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan is set by our Compensation Committee. The option price is payable only in cash, except if our Company undergoes a change of control, in which case the option price may be satisfied through shares obtained through exercise of the option in connection with the change of control. Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan, our Compensation Committee determines the remaining terms of the options (e.g., vesting and the period following a participant’s termination of service during which the participant may exercise his or her option, provided that in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term).

Plan termination. The 2008 Non-Statutory Plan was terminated at the consummation of our IPO and no shares of our common stock remain available for future issuance under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan. However, the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of awards originally granted under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan. Shares subject to outstanding options under the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan on August 13, 2013 that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised have again become available for awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Audit Committee is comprised of three independent directors, Messrs. Mendenhall, Waitman, and Nichols, all of whom are financially literate. In addition, the Board has designated Mr. Mendenhall as an “audit committee financial expert” under the applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which reflects the requirements regarding audit committees under the NASDAQ Rules and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Audit Committee’s primary role is to assist the Board in (1) retaining an independent accountant; (2) overseeing the independent accountant; (3) reviewing financial statements and disclosure matters; (4) compliance oversight; and (5) oversight of the Company’s internal audit function.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2016 with management and with Grant Thornton LLP. These audited financial statements are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2016 ( the "Annual Report").

The Audit Committee has also discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16.

The Audit Committee also has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Grant Thornton LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Grant Thornton LLP its independence from us.

Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report for filing with the SEC.

If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate set of these proxy materials, or if you wish to receive separate copies of future notices, annual reports and proxy statements, please call 1-800-542-1061 or write to: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

Any stockholders of record who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of proxy materials who wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the future may contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at the address or telephone number listed above. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, please contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to request information about householding.

Exhibit A

FOX FACTORY HOLDING CORP.

2013 Omnibus Plan

(as amended by the First Amendment, approved by stockholders on May 4, 2017)

Section 1. Purpose. The purposes of this Fox Factory Holding Corp. 2013 Omnibus Plan are to promote the interests of Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its stockholders by (i) attracting and retaining employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its Affiliates, as defined below; (ii) motivating such individuals by means of performance-related incentives to achieve longer-range performance goals; and (iii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.

(ii)Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan shall not be counted unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant and, therefore, the total number of Shares available under the Plan as of a given date shall not be reduced by Shares relating to prior Awards that have expired or have been forfeited or cancelled, and upon payment in cash of the benefit provided by any Award, any Shares that were covered by such Award will be available for issue hereunder.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (A) if Shares are tendered or otherwise used in payment of the exercise price of an Option, the total number of Shares covered by the Option being exercised shall reduce the aggregate limit described in Section 4(a)(i); (B) Shares withheld by the Company to satisfy a tax withholding obligation shall count against the aggregate limit described in Section 4(a)(i); and (C) the number of Shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that it is exercised and settled in Shares, and whether or not Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. To the extent that any outstanding Award is settled in cash in lieu of Shares, the Shares allocable to such portion of the Award may not again be subject to an Award granted under the Plan.

(b)Adjustments. In the event that the Committee determines in its reasonable discretion that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event affects the Shares, such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall equitably adjust any or all of (i) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award, which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall equal the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Share subject to each such Option or Stock Appreciation Right over the per Share exercise price or grant price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

A-5

(c)Substitute Awards. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or its Affiliates or a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”).

In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code, as from time to time amended, and any regulations implementing such statute. All Options when granted under the Plan are intended to be Nonqualified Stock Options, unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. If an Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if for any reason such Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan; provided that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to Nonqualified Stock Options. No Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that in the case of a Ten Percent Shareholder, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable later than the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the date of its grant. No Option shall include any feature for the deferral of income other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of the exercise or disposition of the Option.

The Committee shall determine and establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which exercise price shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and which shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; provided, however, if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise price of the Option must not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant of the Option.

(c)Exercise. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Options, including without limitation, any relating to the application of federal or state securities laws, as it may deem necessary or advisable.

(d)Payment. (i) Subject to Section 6(d)(ii), no Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the aggregate exercise price therefore is received by the Company. Such payment may be made in cash, or its equivalent, or (x) by exchanging Shares owned by the optionee (which are not the subject of any pledge or other security interest and acquired other than through an Incentive Stock Option), or (y) subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price or by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so tendered to the Company as of the date of such tender is at least equal to such aggregate exercise price and the taxes, if any, required to be withheld.

A-6

(ii) Wherever in this Plan or any Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such exercise price, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

(e) If there is a blackout period under the Company’s insider trading policy or applicable law (or a Committee- imposed blackout period) that prohibits the buying or selling of Shares during any part of the ten day period before the expiration of any Option based on the termination of a Participant’s employment or services for the Company, the period for exercising the Options shall be extended until ten days beyond when such blackout period ends. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or within an Award Agreement, no Option shall ever be exercisable after the expiration date of its original term as set forth in the Award Agreement.

Section 7. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority to determine the Participants to whom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Stock Appreciation Right Award, the grant price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise thereof. Stock Appreciation Rights with a grant price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per Share as of the date of grant are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. In the sole discretion of the Committee, Stock Appreciation Rights may, but need not, be intended to qualify as performance-based compensation in accordance with Section 11 hereof. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with another Award, in addition to another Award, or freestanding and unrelated to another Award. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with an Award will be granted at the same time as the Award. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant.

(b)Exercise and Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the grant price thereof (which shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant). The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether a Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled in cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares.

(c)Other Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine, at the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the term, methods of exercise, methods and form of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate; provided that the Stock Appreciation Right shall not include any feature for the deferral of income other than the deferral of income until the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

Section 8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; Unrestricted Stock.

(a)Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority to determine, when granting Award Agreements: (i) the Participants to whom Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, (ii) the number of Shares of Restricted Stock and/or the number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each Participant, (iii) the duration of the period during which, and the conditions, if any, under which, performance based Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited to the Company, and (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Awards. In addition, the Committee may grant Awards hereunder in the form of Unrestricted Stock which shall vest in full upon the grant date or such other date as the Committee may determine.

(b)Transfer Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered, except, in the case of Restricted Stock, as provided in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreements. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i) certificates issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and deposited by such Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company, or (ii) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held at the Company’s transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such Shares of Restricted Stock. Upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable to such Shares of Restricted Stock, the Company shall, as applicable, either deliver such certificates to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, or the transfer agent shall remove the restrictions relating to the transfer of such Shares.

(c)Payment. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities or other property, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. Dividends paid on any Shares of Restricted Stock shall be paid directly to the Participant, withheld by the Company subject to vesting of the Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, or may be reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock, as determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement on the date of grant. Dividends may be credited on Restricted Stock Units as additional Restricted Stock Units, if so determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement on the date of grant.

The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 6 through 10 of the Plan (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights), to designate such Award, in the applicable Award Agreement, as a Performance Compensation Award in order to qualify such Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b)Eligibility. The Committee will, in its sole discretion, designate within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, if longer, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) which Participants will be eligible to receive Performance Compensation Awards in respect of such Performance Period. Designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award shall be decided solely in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11. Moreover, designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one person as a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder shall not require designation of any other person as a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder in such period or in any other period.

(c)Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goal(s) is/are to apply to the Company, and the Performance Formula. Within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, if longer, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 11(c) and record the same in writing.

(d)Payment of Performance Compensation Awards. (i) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

(ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that: (1) the Performance Goals for such period are achieved; and (2) the Performance Formula as applied against such Performance Goals determines that all or some portion of such Participant’s Performance Award has been earned for the Performance Period.

(iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, to calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion, if and when it deems appropriate.

(iv) Negative Discretion. In determining the actual size of an individual Performance Compensation Award, designated as such in the applicable Award Agreement, for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce orbeliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

(v) Timing of Award Payments. The Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively possible following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11; provided that in no event shall any Award granted for a Performance Period be paid later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the Award becomes vests (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement.

A-9

(vi) Maximum Award Payable. As provided in Section 4(a)(i) hereof, the maximum Performance Compensation Award payable to any one Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period is 907,927 Shares or, in the event the Performance Compensation Award is paid in cash, the equivalent cash value thereof on the last day of the Performance Period to which such Award relates. Furthermore, any Performance Compensation Award that has been deferred shall not (between the date as of which the Award is deferred and the payment date) increase (i) with respect to the Performance Compensation Award that is payable in cash, by a measuring factor for each fiscal year greater than a reasonable rate of interest set by the Committee prior to the applicable fiscal year; or (ii) with respect to a Performance Compensation Award that is payable in Shares, by an amount greater than the appreciation of a Share from the date such Award is deferred to the payment date.

Section 12. Amendment and Termination.

(a)Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that if an amendment to the Plan that (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan; (ii) would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan; (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan; or (iv) must otherwise be approved by the stockholders of the Company in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or, if the Shares are not traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Shares are traded or quoted; such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained; and provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award previously granted shall not be effective without the written consent of the affected Participant, holder, or beneficiary.

(b)Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award previously granted shall not be effective without the written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(c)Adjustment of Awards upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee is hereby authorized to make equitable adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, all outstanding Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(b) hereof) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines, after consultation with its advisors, that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

(d)Repricing. Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 4(b) hereof, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of Options or the grant price of Stock Appreciation Rights, or cancel Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price or grant price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or grant price of the original Stock Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without stockholder approval.

Section 13. Change of Control.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or by the Committee in a written resolution at the date of grant, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are not assumed, converted, or replaced by the resulting entity in the event of a Change of Control, all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards shall lapse and such Awards shall become vested and non-forfeitable, and any specified Performance Goals with respect to outstanding Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at target, provided that payment of restricted and Performance Awards or Performance Compensation Awards shall be made in accordance with Section 13(d).

A-10

(b)Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or by the Committee in a written resolution at the date of grant or thereafter, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted, or replaced by the resulting entity in the event of a Change of Control, (i) any outstanding Awards that are subject to Performance Goals shall be converted by the resulting entity as if target performance had been achieved as of the date of the Change of Control; (ii) each Performance Award or Performance Compensation Award with service requirements shall continue to vest with respect to such requirements during the remaining period set forth in the Award Agreement; and (iii) all other Awards shall continue to vest (and/or the restrictions thereon shall continue to lapse) during the remaining periods set forth in the Award Agreement.

(c)Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or by the Committee in a written resolution at the date of grant or thereafter, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are either assumed, converted, or replaced by the resulting entity in the event of a Change of Control, if a Participant’s employment or service is terminated without Cause by the Company or an Affiliate or a Participant terminates his or her employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for Good Reason (if applicable), in either case, during the twenty four (24) month period following a Change of Control, all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement would cause a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to be made upon the occurrence of (i) a Change of Control, then such payment shall not be made unless such Change of Control also constitutes a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control,” or “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) a termination of employment or service, then such payment shall not be made unless such termination of employment or service also constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payment that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule that would have applied in the absence of a Change of Control or termination of employment or service, but disregarding any performance requirements and substituting the passage of time for any future service requirements and any Performance Periods. If a Change of Control constitutes a “change of control” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any required payment shall be made in a lump sum within ten business days of the Change of Control unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise. If a termination following a Change of Control qualifies as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, distribution will be made in a lump sum within sixty (60) days of the separation from service date unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise.

Section 14. General Provisions.

(a)Nontransferability.

(i)Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative.

(ii)No Award may be sold, assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance.

(b)No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

(c)Share Certificates. Shares or other securities of the Company delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

A-11

(d)Withholding. (i) A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due, or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment, or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, a Participant may satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by delivery of Shares owned by the Participant (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

(e)Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder shall he evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall he delivered to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including but not limited to the effect on such Award of the death, disability, or termination of employment or service of a Participant and the effect, if any, of such other events as may he determined by the Committee.

(f)No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of options, restricted stock, shares and other types of awards provided for hereunder (subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(g)No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, or as a director on the Board or board of directors, as applicable, of, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in any applicable employment contract or agreement.

(h)No Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until he or she has become the holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the applicable Award shall specify if and to what extent the Participant shall not be entitled to the rights of a stockholder in respect of such Restricted Stock.

(i)Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

(j)Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall he stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(k)Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder, or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder, or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws.

A-12

(l)No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

(m)No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall he canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

(n)Deferrals. In the event the Committee permits a Participant to defer any Award payable in the form of cash, all such elective deferrals shall be accomplished by the delivery of a written, irrevocable election by the Participant on a form provided by the Company. All deferrals shall be made in accordance with administrative guidelines established by the Committee to ensure that such deferrals comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(o)Disqualifying Dispositions. A Participant shall be obligated to give the Company or any Affiliate for which the Participant works notice of any disposition of any Incentive Stock Option prior to the applicable holding periods.

(p)Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

Section 15. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(a)To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent.

(b)Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c)If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six- (6-) month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, with interest, on the earlier of the first business day of the seventh month following the separation from service date or within 60 days following the date of death.

(d)Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company may unilaterally in its sole discretion amend this Plan and grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant shall he solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may he imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (.including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

A-13

Section 16. Term of the Plan.

(a)Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Effective Date”), subject to prior approval of the Plan by both the Board and the stockholders of the Company.

(b)Expiration Date. No grant will be made under this Plan more than ten (10) years after the date of its approval by the Board (or by the stockholders of the Company, if earlier), but all grants made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan.
