Long-Term Incentive Cash Bonuses
On July 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved long-term incentive cash bonus awards to Robert DeMartini, Todd Vogensen, and Eric Haynor in the respective amounts of $1,500,000, $450,000, and $393,750 (together, the “LTI Cash Bonus Target Amounts”), pursuant to a Long-Term Incentive Cash Bonus Agreement between the Company and each NEO (together, the “LTI Cash Bonus Agreements”). Pursuant to the LTI Cash Bonus Agreements, the performance measures and targets that will determine the amount earned, if any, will be based on cumulative net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EBITDA margin for the period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027 (the “Performance Period”). In the event of a “Change in Control” of the Company (as defined in the LTI Cash Bonus Agreements), the Company shall pay each NEO a bonus equal to the greater of: (1) the amount payable as if the cumulative revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EBITDA margin performance measures for the Performance Period achieved threshold metrics (resulting in an amount payable equal to 50% of the LTI Cash Bonus Target Amounts); or (2) the amount payable, as determined by the Board of Directors, based on actual performance, measured pro-rata for a performance period ending on the Change in Control (as defined in the LTI Cash Bonus Agreements), as compared to budgeted performance measure targets for the same pro-rated performance period.
The foregoing summary of the LTI Cash Bonus Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the LTI Cash Bonus Agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.

Purple Innovation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company“), hereby grants to Participant identified below the right to earn a cash bonus payment equal to the Target Amount specified below, as adjusted based on actual performance, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Long-Term Incentive Agreement Cash Bonus Agreement (this “Agreement”).

| --- | --- |
| 4. | Performance Goals and % of Target Amount Earned: The performance measures and targets that will determine the amount earned<br>under this Agreement, if any, will be based on cumulative Net Revenue (defined below), Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), and EBITDA margin<br>for the Performance Period, in each case as set forth on the Performance Exhibit at the end of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement<br>and the Performance Exhibit, “net revenue” and “adjusted EBITDA” shall mean the amounts for such performance measures<br>reported by the Company on its Form 10-K for each year during the Performance Period; however, in determining whether “adjusted<br>EBITDA” has attained one or more of the targets (threshold, target, stretch and maximum) set forth on the Performance Exhibit, the<br>Board may in its sole discretion decide to impose additional or eliminate certain adjustments in the calculation adjusted EBITDA. |
| --- | --- |
| 5. | Administration: The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has the sole and exclusive authority to make<br>all determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation whether<br>and to the extent the performance measures and targets for the Performance Period have been attained and any amount, if any, payable to<br>the Participant under this Agreement. Any and all such determinations, interpretations and other decisions so made by the Board at any<br>time shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, its affiliates and<br>stockholders, the Participant and his or her spouse, beneficiaries, heirs and executors. |
| --- | --- |
| 6. | Payment. The Board shall determine, and the Company shall pay, any amount earned by the Participant under this Agreement in<br>the calendar year following the completion of the Performance Period as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period.<br>The Participant shall not have a right to a payment greater than the amount approved by the Board, if any. |
| --- | --- |
| 7. | Termination of Employment: Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, a Participant shall have no right<br>to receive a payment under this Agreement unless the Participant remains in the employ of the Company in good standing through and including<br>the payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, this employment requirement shall be deemed satisfied<br>if the Participant remains employed by the Company until the date the transaction constituting a Change in Control (as defined below)<br>is consummated. |
| --- | --- |
| 8. | Adjustments for Extraordinary Transactions or Events; Change in Control |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | In the event of an acquisition, strategic transaction or other unusual, extraordinary or nonrecurring transaction or event (including<br>but not limited to a Change in Control (as defined below)), the Board may in its sole discretion adjust one or more performance measures<br>and/or targets as set forth on the Performance Exhibit at the end of this Agreement in such a manner as the Board determines in good faith<br>to be equitable to reflect such transaction or event. Upon a Change in Control, if and to the extent the Board determines that the bonus<br>is not earned and payable (after application of this subjection (a) and subsection (b) below), the unearned bonus is terminated and cancelled. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | In addition to and notwithstanding subsection (a) above, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Company shall<br>pay a bonus equal to the greater of: |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | the amount payable as if the cumulative Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin performance measures for the Performance Period<br>achieved threshold metrics (resulting in an amount payable equal to 50% of the Target Amount); or |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | the amount payable, as determined by the Board, based on actual performance, measured pro-rata for a performance period ending on<br>the Change in Control, as compared to budgeted performance measure targets for the same pro-rated performance period. |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition by any person or “persons acting<br>as a group” (as defined below) of capital stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power of outstanding<br>capital stock of the Company; (ii) the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party;<br>or (iii) the consummation of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination involving the Company in which, immediately<br>after giving effect to such merger, less than a majority of the total voting power of outstanding stock of the surviving or resulting<br>entity is then “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)<br>in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company, as applicable, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or<br>business combination. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a transaction<br>constitute a “Change in Control” if (x) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation; or (y)<br>its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s<br>securities immediately before such transaction. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger,<br>consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock (or assets), or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a<br>group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership<br>interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of<br>the same corporation at the same time or as a result of the same public offering, or purchase assets of the same corporation at the same<br>time. |

| --- | --- |

| (c) | For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition by any person or “persons acting<br>as a group” (as defined below) of capital stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power of outstanding<br>capital stock of the Company; (ii) the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party;<br>or (iii) the consummation of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination involving the Company in which, immediately<br>after giving effect to such merger, less than a majority of the total voting power of outstanding stock of the surviving or resulting<br>entity is then “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)<br>in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company, as applicable, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization, or<br>business combination. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a transaction<br>constitute a “Change in Control” if (x) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation; or (y)<br>its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s<br>securities immediately before such transaction. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger,<br>consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock (or assets), or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a<br>group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership<br>interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of<br>the same corporation at the same time or as a result of the same public offering, or purchase assets of the same corporation at the same<br>time. |
