The Company adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2014 Incentive Plan") which became effective on January 1, 2014, and reserves for issuance up to 1,700,000 shares of Malibu Boats, Inc. Class A Common Stock for the Company’s employees, consultants, members of its board of directors and other independent contractors at the discretion of the compensation committee. Incentive stock awards authorized under the 2014 Incentive Plan include unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent awards and performance awards. As of December 31, 2024, no further shares were to be issued from the 2014 Incentive Plan. The number of any shares subject to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan that were outstanding as of October 23, 2024 and that are expired, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or otherwise reacquired after such date without having become vested will transfer to the 2024 Plan (defined below).

On April 14, 2023, Wayne Wilson notified the Company of his resignation from his position as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and from all other positions held with the Company and each of its subsidiaries. Mr. Wilson’s resignation as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary was effective April 19, 2023, and Mr. Wilson served in an advisory role through May 12, 2023. In connection with Mr. Wilson’s resignation, he forfeited 57,866 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock underlying unvested restricted stock awards and performance awards previously granted to Mr. Wilson.

On February 7, 2025, Mr. Ritchie Anderson retired from his position as President of the Company and from all other positions held with the Company and each of its subsidiaries.

On November 3, 2021, under the 2014 Incentive Plan, the Company granted approximately 32,000 restricted service-based stock units and 23,000 restricted service-based stock awards to key employees under the 2014 Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value of these awards was $4,149 based on a stock price of $74.25 per share on the date of grant. Approximately 58% of the awards vest ratably over three years and approximately 42% of the awards vest ratably over four years. Stock-based compensation expense attributable to the service-based units and awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
On November 3, 2021, under the 2014 Incentive Plan, the Company granted to key employees a target amount of approximately 18,000 restricted stock awards with a performance condition. The number of shares that would have ultimately been issued, if any, was to be based on the attainment of a specified amount of earnings during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. All of the shares were forfeited as either the shares failed to vest due to resignation of the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, or the performance condition was not met. The original grant date fair value of the awards was estimated to be $1,305, based on a stock price of $74.25. Compensation costs associated with the performance awards are recognized over the requisite service period based on probability of achievement in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.
On November 3, 2021, under the 2014 Incentive Plan, the Company granted to key employees a target amount of approximately 18,000 stock awards with a market condition. The number of shares that would have ultimately been issued, if any, was to be based on a total shareholder return ("TSR") computation that involves comparing the movement in the Company's stock price to movement in a market index from the grant date through November 3, 2024. The maximum number of shares that could be issued if the elevated TSR target was met, approximately 29,000, adjusted to reflect the forfeiture of
shares in connection with the resignation of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer. The remaining shares failed to vest as the market condition was not met. The original grant date fair value of the awards was estimated to be $1,688, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculates the fair market value for the stock award. Compensation costs are recognized over the requisite service period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.
On May 6, 2022, under the 2014 Incentive Plan, the Company granted approximately 27,000 restricted service-based stock units to key employees under the 2014 Incentive Plan.

These shares failed to vest due to fiscal year 2025 financial performance. The original grant date fair value of the awards was estimated to be $1,380, based on a stock price of $52.25.

The Company's non-employee directors receive an annual retainer for their services as directors consisting of both a cash retainer and equity awards in the form of Class A Common Stock or restricted stock units. Directors may elect that their cash annual retainer be converted into either fully vested shares of Class A Common Stock or restricted stock units paid on a deferral basis.
