On November 10, 2021, at a Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) meeting of the Board of Directors of J & J Snack Foods Corp. (“Company”), the Committee authorized and approved an adjustment to the annual compensation of Dan Fachner, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 10, 2021. At that meeting, the Committee (i) increased Mr. Fachner’s base salary from $875,000 to $900,000 per year, (ii) provided for an associated increase in Mr. Fachner’s target annual incentive bonus, which is 100% of his new base salary, $900,000 per year, and (iii) increased Mr. Fachner’s long-term incentive target from 150% to 167% of his new annual base salary, which if achieved, would result in the grant of time vesting share and performance share units issued pursuant to that certain form of Performance Share Unit Agreement (“Performance Share Unit Agreement”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Mr. Fachner’s total potential compensation for the 2022 fiscal year, as approved by the Committee, represents a 7.7% increase in potential total compensation over the 2021 fiscal year.
