The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated October 1, 2015, by and between Natural Alternatives International, Inc. and Mark A. LeDoux, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as most recently amended by the Second Amendment dated July 1, 2021, was amended effective May 1, 2026, (the "NAI Amendment"). The NAI Amendment reflects a decrease in base salary from $475,000 per year to $255,000 per year, and certain other reductions of Company benefits otherwise paid to all Officers. The NAI Amendment was made in connection with the CEO entering into an Employment Agreement to concurrently serve as the Managing Director of the registrant's wholly owned subsidiary Natural Alternatives International, Inc. Europe, a Swiss corporation, (the "NAIE Employment Agreement"). The NAIE Employment Agreement is also effective May 1, 2026, with a base salary of 170,000 CFH per year. The NAI Amendment was entered into with the intention the base salary and total compensation of the CEO pursuant to the NAI Amendment plus the base salary and total compensation of Mr. LeDoux pursuant to the NAIE Employment Agreement would be approximately the same subject only to variations in currency values between U.S. Dollars and Swiss Francs.
 
Mr. LeDoux, while continuing current duties as CEO of NAI, has agreed to serve as the Managing Director of the Swiss subsidiary in an effort to expand the combined companies worldwide revenue and provide the Company's customers with more opportunities to expand their offerings inside and outside of the U.S by increasing the capability of the registrant's Swiss operations. In connection with the NAIE Employment Agreement the CEO has committed to spend at least half his time in Switzerland. Mr. LeDoux will continue to serve as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of both corporations.
