Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, or for any future periods.

**Inventories**

Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method, and were comprised of finished goods at each of the balance sheet dates presented in this report.

**Accounting Pronouncement Issued and Not Adopted**

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,* which requires a public entity to disclose certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset

------

amortization on an annual and interim basis. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The provisions within the update may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*. This ASU is intended to improve the reportable segment disclosure primarily by requiring entities to provide more disaggregated expense information about their reportable segments. The new guidance also improves interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Since this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. ASU 2023-09 provides guidance to enhance transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This new guidance also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For public companies, the guidance in ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the anticipated impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 2 – PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK**

Our purchases of common stock during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 consisted of shares purchased on the open market and shares withheld for income taxes on stock-based compensation awards. Our stock-based compensation plans allow shares to be withheld to cover statutory income taxes if elected by the award recipient. These shares are valued at the market price on the date the shares are withheld. Our fiscal 2025 purchases of common stock through May 31, 2025, were comprised of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Shares | Cost |
| Shares withheld for taxes on stock- |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;based compensation awards | 146  | $5954  |
| Open market purchases | 623  | 17037  |
|  | 769  | $22991  |

---

On April 18, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new plan to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The previously existing common stock purchase plan was canceled, and the new common share purchase plan does not have an expiration date. The actual timing, number, and value of common shares purchased under the new plan will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of our common shares, and applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to purchase any common shares under the authorization, and the purchase plan may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time for any reason.

**NOTE 3 – REVENUE**

**Contract Balances**

Our deferred subscription revenue totaled $89.3 million at May 31, 2025, and $107.9 million at August 31, 2024, of which $5.9 million and $6.7 million were classified as components of other long-term liabilities at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively. During the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, we recognized $36.8 million and $108.8 million of previously deferred subscription revenue, respectively.

Deferred subscription revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue being recognized from subscription services. Deferred revenue is recognized in revenue as the applicable revenue recognition criteria are met. We generally invoice customers in annual installments upon execution of a contract. *The Leader in Me* membership

------

offering is bifurcated into a portal membership obligation and a coaching delivery obligation. We have determined that it is appropriate to recognize revenue related to the portal membership over the term of the underlying contract and to recognize revenue from coaching as those services are performed. The combined contract amount is recorded in deferred subscription revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Any additional coaching or training days which are contracted independent of *The Leader in Me* membership are recorded as revenue in accordance with our general policy for services and products as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

**Remaining Performance Obligations**

Whenever possible, we enter into multi-year non-cancellable contracts which are invoiced either upon execution of the contract or at the beginning of each annual contract period. Remaining transaction price represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, including unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price is influenced by factors such as inflation, the average length of the contract term, and the ability of the Company to continue to enter into multi-year non-cancellable contracts. At May 31, 2025, we had $151.4 million of remaining performance obligations, including our deferred subscription revenue. The remaining performance obligation does not include customer deposits, as these amounts are generally refundable at the client's request prior to the satisfaction of the obligation.

**Disaggregated Revenue Information**

Refer to Note 7, *Segment Information*, to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for our disaggregated revenue information.

**NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

Our stock-based compensation expense was comprised of the following for the periods presented (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Quarter Ended | Quarter Ended | Three Quarters Ended | Three Quarters Ended |
|  | May 31, | May 31, | May 31, | May 31, |
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Long-term incentive awards | $1741  | $2355  | $4270  | $5707  |
| Strive acquisition compensation | 160  | 165  | 525  | 550  |
| Unvested stock awards | 240  | 240  | 720  | 640  |
| Employee stock purchase plan | 76  | 68  | 215  | 195  |
|  | $2217  | $2828  | $5730  | $7092  |

---

During the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, we issued 20,841 shares and 426,114 shares, respectively, of our common stock under various stock-based compensation arrangements, including our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).

At each reporting date, we reevaluate the expected number of shares to vest under the terms of our performance-based long-term incentive plan awards and adjust the amount of stock-based compensation based on any revisions to the number of shares expected to vest. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, revisions to these estimates reduced our stock-based compensation by $1.0 million.

**Annual Long-Term Incentive Performance and Retention Plan**

We have a long-term equity incentive plan for client partners, managing directors, and certain other associates that we believe are critical to our long-term success. The number of shares granted to sales-related roles is generally based on the achievement of specified annual revenue goals while other awards are for an amount determined by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These time-based awards are granted after the completion of each fiscal year and vest over a three-year service period, with one-third of the shares vesting on August 31 of each year following the grant. We granted a total of 92,930 unvested share units in fiscal 2025 to participants under the terms of this long-term incentive plan. The compensation cost of these awards is included in the long-term incentive awards category in the preceding table.

------

**Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Unvested Share Award**

Our annual unvested stock award granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors is administered under the terms of our omnibus incentive plan, and is designed to provide our non-employee directors, who are not eligible to participate in our employee stock purchase plan, an opportunity to obtain an interest in the Company through the acquisition of shares of our common stock as part of their compensation. The annual award is normally granted in January of each year on the same day as our annual shareholders' meeting. For the fiscal 2025 award, each eligible director received a whole share grant equal to $120,000 with a one-year vesting period. Our Board of Directors unvested stock award activity during the three quarters ended May 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | Weighted-Average |
|  |  | Grant Date |
|  | Number of  | Fair Value |
|  | Shares | Per Share |
| Unvested stock awards at |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;August 31, 2024 | 23136  | $41.50  |
| Granted | 27336  | 35.12  |

| Vested | (23136) | 41.50  |
| Unvested stock awards at |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;May 31, 2025 | 27336  | $35.12  |

---

**Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

We have an ESPP that offers qualified employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85% of the average fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter. During the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, we sold 16,020 shares and 36,816 shares of our common stock to participants in the ESPP.

**NOTE 5 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS**

Our fiscal 2025 restructuring costs were for the continued implementation of our new Enterprise Division go-to-market strategy, alignment of personnel and refinements to the new model, and to reduce operating expenses in certain areas of our operations. In fiscal 2024, we began restructuring our North America sales force to a more focused structure that is designed to drive additional sales growth in the future. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we expanded this restructuring effort to certain areas of our International Direct Office segment. Through May 31, 2025, the cost of these restructuring activities totaled $6.7 million and consisted of two restructuring events, one in each of the first and third quarters. The restructuring costs were primarily for severance and related personnel expenses.

During the quarter ended May 31, 2025, we expensed $4.7 million for severance to approximately 45 associates who were impacted by changes to our new go-to-market strategy and cost reduction initiatives. Approximately $3.8 million of the restructuring was attributable to the North America segment, $0.2 million for the International Direct Office segment, $0.1 million for the International Licensees segment, and $0.6 million for the Education Division. We expect to pay the majority of these severance benefits during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and had $4.7 million included in accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2025, for the third quarter restructuring event.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we expensed $2.0 million for severance to approximately 35 associates who were impacted by sales force restructuring activities. Approximately $1.6 million of this restructuring expense was attributable to the North America segment and $0.4 million was attributable to the International Direct Office segment. The severance benefits were paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and there were no remaining accrued restructuring liabilities from the first quarter restructuring event on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2025.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | (0.11) | 0.43  | (0.10) | 0.85  |

---

Since we incurred a net loss for the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the calculation of net loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The number of dilutive stock-based compensation awards as of May 31, 2025 would have been approximately 116,000 shares.

**NOTE 7 – SEGMENT INFORMATION**

**Segments**

Our sales are primarily comprised of training and consulting services and our internal reporting and operating structure is currently organized around two divisions: the Enterprise Division, which consists of our North America, International Direct Office, and International Licensee segments, and the Education Division, which is comprised of our Education practice. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our chief operating decision maker (CODM) began to manage our business, allocate resources, and evaluate performance based on changes that were made in the Company's management and reporting structure in connection with the restructuring activities discussed in Note 5 *Restructuring Costs*. As a result, we realigned our reportable segments to those shown below.

Our operations consist of five reportable segments as described below:

***North America –*** Our North America segment has a depth of expertise in helping organizations solve problems that require changes in human behavior, including leadership, productivity, execution, trust, and sales performance. We have a variety of principle-based offerings that help build winning and profitable cultures. This segment includes our sales personnel and operations that serve the United States and Canada.

***International Direct Offices*** – Our international direct offices provide the same offerings and content in countries outside of North America, which includes Australia, Austria, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

***International Licensees –*** Our independently owned international licensees provide our offerings and services in countries where we do not have a directly-owned office. These licensee partners allow us to expand the reach of our services to large multinational organizations as well as smaller organizations in their countries. This segment's sales are primarily comprised of royalty revenues received from the licensees.

------

***Education Practice –*** Centered around the principles found in *The Leader in Me*, the Education practice is dedicated to helping educational institutions build a culture that will produce great results. We believe these results are manifested by increases in student performance, improved school culture, decreased disciplinary issues, and increased teacher engagement and parental involvement. This segment includes our domestic and international Education practice operations, which are focused on sales to educational institutions such as elementary schools, high schools, and colleges and universities.

***Corporate and Other –*** Our corporate and other information includes leasing operations, shipping and handling revenues, royalty revenues from Franklin Planner Corp., and the cost of certain administrative functions.

We have determined that the Company's CODM continues to be the Chief Executive Officer, and the primary measurement tool used in business unit performance analysis is Adjusted EBITDA, which may not be calculated as similarly titled amounts disclosed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For reporting purposes, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated as net income or loss excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation expense, intangible asset amortization expense, stock-based compensation, and certain other charges such as restructuring and headquarters moving costs. We reference this non-GAAP financial measure in our decision making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates consistent internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and we believe it provides investors with greater transparency to evaluate operational activities and financial results.

------

We account for the following segment information on the same basis as the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands). The prior period segment information has been recast to conform with the new reporting segment presentation described above.

On December 20, 2024, we signed a new lease agreement (the Lease) for one floor of a five-story office building located in Draper, Utah to house our corporate headquarters. The Lease requires initial base rent of approximately $0.8 million per year with annual rent escalations. The initial lease term is for 130 months with a 10-month rent holiday. Based on the guidance found in Accounting Standards Codification 842 *Leases*, we determined that the lease commencement date occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2025 as the leased space was made available to us for making leasehold improvements prior to occupying the property. The Lease added $6.4 million of right of use assets, which are included in other long-term assets, and $6.3 million of lease liabilities, which are primarily included in other long-term liabilities, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2025.

The master lease on our current headquarters campus, which is accounted for as a financing obligation on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, expires in June 2025. At the conclusion of the master lease agreement, the long-term portion of the financing obligation, which totaled $1.3 million, will be written off against the corresponding carrying value of the land and the balances will be eliminated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (Management's Discussion and Analysis) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management's current expectations and are subject to various uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements are set forth below under the heading "Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

We suggest that the following discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2024.

**Non-GAAP Measures**

This Management's Discussion and Analysis includes the concept of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, intangible asset amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other items such as restructuring and headquarters moving costs. We reference this non-GAAP measure in our decision making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates consistent internal comparisons to the operating performance of prior periods and we believe it provides investors with greater transparency to evaluate our operational activities and financial results. For a reconciliation of our reporting segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), a related GAAP measure, refer to Note 7, *Segment Information,* to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

Our consolidated revenue for the third quarter ended May 31, 2025, was $67.1 million, compared with $73.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and reflected the impact of conditions previously described. Foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on our consolidated revenue during the third quarter. The Company's revenue performance during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 included the following key metrics:

oEnterprise Division revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 totaled $47.3 million compared with $51.9 million in fiscal 2024. Enterprise Division revenue performance was impacted by a $3.5 million decrease in North America segment revenues and a $1.0 million decrease in International Direct Office revenues, which were both affected by macroeconomic uncertainties and canceled government contracts. These challenging economic and business conditions adversely impacted new logo sales and expansion activity in the third quarter.

oEducation Division revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $18.6 million compared with $20.2 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced classroom materials sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we entered into a new state-wide initiative and other new district-wide initiatives that included large materials orders during the first year of the contracts. Materials orders from these contracts did not repeat at the same level in fiscal 2025. However, decreased materials revenue was partially offset by increased training and coaching revenue and membership subscription revenues. Delivery of training and coaching days remained strong in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and benefited from higher revenue per day than in same period of the prior year. Education deferred subscription revenue at May 31, 2025, increased 21% over the balance at May 31, 2024.

oConsolidated subscription and subscription services revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $57.7 million compared with $60.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. For the quarter ended May 31, 2025, subscription revenue invoiced was $31.7 million compared with $34.5 million in fiscal 2024.

oConsolidated deferred subscription revenue on May 31, 2025, increased 7% to $89.3 million compared with $83.8 million on May 31, 2024.

oAs of May 31, 2025, 58% of our AAP contracts are for at least two years, compared with 55% at May 31, 2024, and the percentage of contracted amounts represented by multi-year contracts was 62% compared with 60% as of May 31, 2024.

oUnbilled deferred subscription revenue on May 31, 2025, was $62.0 million compared with $69.4 million on May 31, 2024. Unbilled deferred revenue represents business that is contracted, but unbilled and therefore excluded from our balance sheet.

The following is a summary of other unaudited consolidated financial information from the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on May 31, 2025:

***Cost of Revenue/Gross Profit*** – For the quarter ended May 31, 2025, our cost of revenue totaled $15.8 million compared with $17.2 million in the prior year. Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $51.3 million compared with $56.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to decreased revenue as described above. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 remained strong and was 76.5% of revenue compared with 76.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

***Operating Expenses*** – Our operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 totaled $53.5 million and increased $5.7 million compared with the prior year, which was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in restructuring charges and a $1.6 million increase in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we continued to restructure our sales force in the Enterprise Division and to reduce costs in certain areas of our operations. We incurred $4.7 million of expenses for these restructuring activities primarily for severance and related costs. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to increased associate costs related to new personnel, including new sales and sales support personnel hired in connection with the implementation of our new go-to-market strategy and the restructuring of our North America sales force.

------

***Income Taxes*** – Our income tax benefit for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, was $0.7 million on a pre-tax loss of $(2.1) million, for an effective benefit rate of 33.8%. In the third quarter of the prior year, our income tax provision was $2.6 million on pre-tax income of $8.4 million, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 31.6%. The slightly higher benefit rate in the current quarter is primarily attributable to our expectation that withholding taxes on foreign-source income will remain consistent year-over-year, while pre-tax income is expected to be lower, thus increasing the impact on our effective rate.

***Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA*** – For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we realized a net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.11) per share, compared with net income of $5.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the third quarter of the prior year, reflecting the factors previously discussed. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, exceeded our previously announced expectations and totaled $7.3 million compared with $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Foreign exchange rates had a $0.5 million favorable impact on our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended May 31, 2025.

***Liquidity and Financial Position –*** Our liquidity and financial position remained strong throughout the third quarter of fiscal 2025. At May 31, 2025, we had over $95 million of available liquidity which consisted of $33.7 million of cash and our full undrawn $62.5 million line of credit even after purchasing $23.0 million of our common stock during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

Further details regarding our results for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, are provided throughout the following Management's Discussion and Analysis.

*Revenue.* For the quarter ended May 31, 2025, North America segment revenue was $37.1 million compared with $40.6 million in the prior year. North America segment revenues for the quarter were adversely impacted by the uncertain macroeconomic environment and by canceled or postponed government contracting. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, total Enterprise Division AAP subscription plus subscription services revenues were $39.9 million compared with $42.6 million in the prior year. Rolling four quarter AAP subscription and subscription service revenues were $160.2 million compared with $163.3 million for the corresponding period ended May 31, 2024. We remain optimistic about the expected results of our new North America go-to-market strategy and sales force restructuring as our new North America sales force structure is in place and began executing on their directives earlier in fiscal 2025. However, continued economic uncertainty, including threatened or enacted tariffs, may prevent us from achieving expected sales goals in the near term. Foreign exchange rates had an insignificant impact on North America revenues and operating results during the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit was impacted by lower revenue as described above. North America gross margin remained strong during the quarter ended May 31, 2025, and increased to 82.9% of revenue compared with 82.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

------

*SG&A Expense.* North America SG&A expenses increased primarily due to associate costs resulting from new sales and sales support personnel primarily related to our new go-to-market strategy and the restructuring of our North America sales force.

*<u>International Direct Offices</u>*

Our directly owned international offices serve clients in Australia, Austria, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The following comparative information is for our International Direct Office segment in the periods indicated (in thousands):

---

*Revenue*. International Direct Office revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, were adversely affected by ongoing economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions as previously discussed. Third quarter revenues decreased in Japan by 22%, in the United Kingdom by 21%, and in China by 15% and were reflective of the macroeconomic conditions and their impact on existing and potential clients. Decreases in these offices were partially offset by increased revenue recognized through our new France office. The fluctuation of foreign exchange rates had a $0.1 million favorable impact on our International Direct Office revenue and an insignificant impact on operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. We believe the resolution of multiple international trade issues and improving economic conditions will lead to improved sales performance in future periods. However, the successful resolution of these macroeconomic issues is not within our control and may not generate expected revenue growth at our International Direct Offices in future periods.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit in the International Direct Office segment decreased primarily due to reduced revenue as described above. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was 73.2% of sales compared with 77.6% in the prior year and decreased primarily due to a shift in the mix of services delivered and products sold during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 when compared with fiscal 2024.

*SG&A Expenses.* International Direct Office SG&A expenses decreased $0.2 million primarily due to cost reduction initiatives enacted to offset the impact of decreased revenue.

*<u>International Licensees Segment</u>*

In foreign locations where we do not have a directly owned office, our training and consulting services are delivered through independent licensees. The following comparative information is for our International Licensee operations in the periods indicated (in thousands):

| Adjusted EBITDA | $1349 | 49.7 | $1352 | 49.2 | $(3) |

---

*Revenue*. International licensee revenue is primarily comprised of royalties on sales of our content by the licensees. For the quarter ended May 31, 2025, our International Licensees' revenue was essentially flat when compared with the prior year at $2.7 million as licensee royalty revenues were relatively flat for the quarter. Our International Licensees' operations continue to be unfavorably impacted by difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as geopolitical trade tensions and economic uncertainty, which have negatively impacted the industries that some of our licensees serve. While we remain optimistic about future growth in our International Licensee operations, ongoing economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability may impair or reduce their growth compared with our expectations. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on International Licensee revenues and operating results for the quarter ended May 31, 2025.

*Gross Profit*. Despite consistent revenue performance when compared with the prior year, gross profit for the quarter ended May 31, 2025 decreased compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to changes in the mix of services and products sold.

------

These changes in product mix reduced International Licensee gross margin from 89.7% in fiscal 2024 to 87.6% in the current year.

*SG&A Expenses.* International licensee SG&A expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily due to cost-cutting initiatives implemented during fiscal 2025.

**Education Division**

Our Education Division is comprised of our domestic and international Education practice operations (focused on sales to educational institutions) and includes our widely acclaimed *The Leader in Me* program.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $2053  | 11.0  | $3142  | 15.5  | $(1089) |

---

*Revenue.* For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Education Division revenue was $18.6 million compared with $20.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in Education Division revenue during the quarter was primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in training materials revenue, which was partially offset by increased coaching and consulting revenue and increased membership subscription revenues resulting primarily from new schools which started *The Leader in Me* during fiscal 2024. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024 a new state-wide initiative began that included $1.4 million of classroom materials sales and we also recognized significant materials sales from other new district-wide initiatives. These contracts included large materials orders in the first year and did not repeat at the same level in fiscal 2025. The delivery of training and coaching services remained strong during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and benefited from higher revenue per day than the prior year. Training and coaching days are recognized as revenue when they are delivered. Education subscription and subscription services revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 2% compared with the same period of the prior year due to decreased materials revenue. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on Education Division revenue and operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

*Gross Profit.* Education Division gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased primarily due to revenue performance as previously described. Education Division gross margin remained strong and was consistent with the prior year at 65.6% of sales.

*SG&A Expenses.* Education SG&A expenses were relatively flat compared with the prior year and increased slightly due to the impact of new personnel, recognition of previously deferred commissions, and increased salaries compared with the prior year. These increases were mostly offset by decreased variable pay and marketing expenses.

**Other Operating Expense Items**

***Interest Expense*** – Our interest expense of $0.1 million decreased by $0.1 million compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to decreased term loan and financing obligation liabilities as payments have been made in the normal course of business.

**Income Taxes**

Our income tax benefit for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, was $0.7 million on a pre-tax loss of $(2.1) million, for an effective benefit rate of 33.8%. In the third quarter of the prior year, our income tax provision was $2.6 million on pre-tax income of $8.4 million, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 31.6%. The slightly higher benefit rate in the current quarter is primarily attributable to our expectation that withholding taxes on foreign-source income will remain consistent year-over-year, while pre-tax income is expected to be lower, thus increasing the impact on our effective rate.

*Revenue.* North America segment revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 totaled $111.7 million compared with $116.4 million in fiscal 2024. North America segment revenues were adversely impacted by continued business environment uncertainties and by canceled government contracts resulting from efficiency initiatives, which began in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Our results for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 were also somewhat lower than our expectations as we implemented a new go-to-market strategy and transitioned our sales force in North America to a more focused structure. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, total Enterprise AAP subscription plus subscription services revenues were $117.0 million compared with $121.6 million in fiscal 2024. While we remain optimistic about the expected results of our North America sales force restructuring and associated growth initiatives, other factors such as further reductions in government spending and continued uncertainty in the business environment in North America may delay or lower expected revenue growth from these initiatives. Foreign exchange rates had an insignificant impact on North America revenues and operating results for the three quarters ended May 31, 2025.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit decreased due to revenue performance as discussed above. North America gross margin remained strong during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and increased to 82.8% compared with 82.5% in fiscal 2024.

*SG&A Expense.* North America SG&A expenses increased primarily due to associate costs resulting from new sales and sales support personnel (primarily related to our new go-to-market strategy and the restructuring of our North America sales force), compensation increases, and benefit costs, as well as increased advertising and promotional costs from the launch of our refreshed *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People* offering in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

*Revenue*. International Direct Office revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 were adversely affected by ongoing economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions as previously discussed. Fiscal 2025 year-to-date revenues decreased in China by 22%, in Japan by 19%, in the United Kingdom by 15%, and in our Germany, Switzerland, and Austria operations by 3% compared with fiscal 2024. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales through our Australia office and by revenue from our new France office. The fluctuation of foreign exchange rates for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 had a $0.1 million impact on International Direct Office revenue and an insignificant impact on operating results.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit in the International Direct Office segment decreased primarily due to reduced revenue as previously described. Gross margin for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 remained strong and was 73.7% of sales

------

compared with 76.4% in fiscal 2024. The fluctuation in gross margin was primarily due to changes in the mix of services delivered and products sold compared with the prior year.

*SG&A Expenses.* International Direct Office SG&A expenses increased primarily due to increased bad debt expense and increased advertising and marketing expense related to the launch of the new *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People* offering, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

*Revenue*. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, our International Licensees' revenue decreased primarily due to decreases in services revenue and in our share of AAP revenue. Licensee royalty revenues were essentially flat compared with fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2025, our foreign licensees have encountered ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical instability in the regions where they operate, which have adversely impacted their operations. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on International Licensee revenues and operating results for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

*Gross Profit*. Gross profit decreased due to lower licensee revenue compared with the prior year. However, International Licensee gross margin remained strong and was 88.5% in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared with 88.7% in the first three quarters of the prior year.

*SG&A Expense.* International Licensee SG&A expenses for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 decreased primarily due to cost cutting efforts implemented during fiscal 2025 in response to decreased revenue.

*Revenue.* Education Division revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 increased 1%, or $0.4 million, compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2025 revenue growth was primarily attributable to increased coaching and consulting revenue and increased membership subscription revenue, which were partially offset by decreased sales of classroom and training materials, primarily due to a new state-wide initiative and district contracts that included large training materials orders in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. These materials orders did not repeat at the same levels in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Delivery of training and coaching days remained strong during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 as the Education Division delivered approximately 70 more training and coaching days than in fiscal 2024. Education subscription and subscription services revenues in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 increased 4% compared with the prior year and Education deferred subscription revenue at May 31, 2025, increased 21% over the balance at May 31, 2024. Education Division growth during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was partially offset by changes in foreign exchange rates, which adversely impacted revenue by $0.2 million and operating results by $0.4 million. We continue to be pleased with the strength and momentum of our Education Division, which added 728 new *The Leader in Me* schools during fiscal 2024. We believe the momentum generated in fiscal 2024 and over the first three quarters of

------

fiscal 2025 will continue through the remainder of fiscal 2025 as we continue to add new schools. At May 31, 2025, nearly 8,000 schools around the world were using *The Leader in Me* program.

*Gross Profit.* Education Division gross profit increased primarily due to revenue growth as previously discussed. Education Division gross margin remained strong and increased to 63.7% compared with 63.1% in the same period of the prior year.

*SG&A Expenses.* Education SG&A expenses increased primarily due to new personnel and increased commissions on higher sales when compared with the prior year.

**Other Operating Expense Items**

***Depreciation*** – Through May 31, 2025, our depreciation expense was consistent with the prior year at $3.0 million in each period. We currently expect depreciation expense to total approximately $4 million in fiscal 2025.

***Amortization*** – Amortization expense for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was $3.3 million compared with $3.2 million in the prior year. The slight increase was primarily due to the reacquisition of license rights for our France operations, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. We currently expect definite-lived intangible asset amortization expense will total approximately $4.5 million during fiscal 2025.

***Interest Expense*** – Our interest expense of $0.5 million decreased by $0.4 million compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreased term loan and financing obligation liabilities as payments have been made in the normal course of business.

**Income Taxes**

For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, we recognized an income tax benefit of $0.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $(1.9) million, resulting in an effective tax benefit rate of 30.9%. For the corresponding period of the prior year, we recognized income tax expense of $3.6 million on pre-tax income of $15.1 million for an effective tax rate of 24.0%.

The year-to-date effective tax rate reflects the impact of permanent differences, including non-deductible expenses and foreign withholding taxes not eligible for U.S. foreign tax credits. We currently expect our annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 to be approximately 39%, which exceeds the combined U.S. federal and average state statutory rate, primarily due to non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 we paid $7.1 million of cash for income taxes, most of which related to our fiscal 2024 income tax liability. Over the long term, we expect annual cash tax payments to approximate our annual income tax provision.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

**Introduction**

At May 31, 2025 we had over $95 million of available liquidity, which consisted of $33.7 million in cash combined with our undrawn $62.5 million revolving credit facility. Of our $33.7 million of cash on May 31, 2025, $13.4 million was held outside the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries. We routinely repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries and consider cash generated from foreign activities a key component of our overall liquidity position. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from the sale of services and products in the normal course of business and available proceeds from our credit facility. Our primary uses of liquidity include payments for operating activities, opportunistic purchases of our common stock, working capital expansion, capital expenditures (including curriculum development), and debt and lease payments.

In fiscal 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (the 2023 Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association leading a group of financial institutions. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides up to $70.0 million in total credit, of which $7.5 million was used to replace the outstanding term loan balance from the previous credit agreement. The remaining

------

$62.5 million is available as a revolving line of credit or for future term loans. The 2023 Credit Agreement matures on March 27, 2028.

As defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement, we are (i) required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than 1.15 to 1.00; and (ii) we are restricted from making certain distributions to stockholders, including repurchases of common stock. However, we are permitted to make distributions, including through purchases of outstanding common stock, provided that we are in compliance with the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants before and after such distribution. At May 31, 2025, we believe that we were in compliance with the terms and covenants contained in the 2023 Credit Agreement.

The following discussion is a description of the primary factors affecting our cash flows and their effects upon our liquidity and capital resources during the three quarters ended May 31, 2025.

**Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities**

Our primary source of cash from operating activities was the sale of services to our customers in the normal course of business. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities were payments for SG&A expenses, direct costs necessary to conduct training programs, to fund working capital changes, and to suppliers for materials used in training manuals sold. Our cash provided by operating activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was $19.0 million compared with $38.4 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily attributable to lower operating income in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 as previously discussed, and an $8.3 million decrease in taxes payable as we no longer benefit from the utilization of our net operating loss position compared with the prior year. While we expect our cash flows from operating activities to improve in future periods, certain conditions are beyond our control or influence such as general macroeconomic conditions, further reductions in government spending, and business conditions in international locations which impact our financial results at our international direct offices and international licensees.

**Cash Flows Used For Investing Activities and Capital Expenditures**

Through May 31, 2025, our cash used for investing activities totaled $8.5 million. Our primary uses of cash for investing activities consisted of additional investments in the development of our offerings and purchases of property and equipment in the normal course of business.

In the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, we spent $4.1 million on the development of our various offerings and related content. During the first half of fiscal 2025, we launched a significantly refurbished *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People* offering and expect to release additional/refurbished content in the remainder of fiscal 2025 and in future years. We believe continued investment in our offerings and content is key to future growth and the development of our business. We currently expect that our capital spending for curriculum development will total between approximately $7 million and $9 million in fiscal 2025.

Our purchases of property and equipment during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 totaled $4.1 million and consisted primarily of computer software, hardware, and leasehold improvements at our new headquarters office. We are currently in the process of moving our corporate offices to a new location and will continue to use cash for leasehold improvements to build out and furnish the new office space through the remainder of fiscal 2025. Including the spending for these leasehold improvements, we currently anticipate that our purchases of property and equipment will total between approximately $10 million and $12 million in fiscal 2025.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we reacquired the license rights to sell our content in France for $0.3 million in cash and $0.2 million of forgiven receivables from the former licensee. The operations of the newly opened direct office in France are included in the International Direct Office segment. We look forward to expanding our business and operations in France over the coming years.

**Cash Flows Used For Financing Activities**

For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, our net cash used for financing activities totaled $25.6 million. Our primary uses of financing cash were $23.0 million used to purchase shares of our common stock, which consisted of shares

------

purchased on the open market and shares withheld for income taxes on stock-based compensation awards (Note 2), and $3.7 million used for principal payments on our financing obligation and notes payable. Partially offsetting these uses of cash for financing activities were $1.1 million of proceeds received from our ESPP participants to purchase shares of common stock during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

On April 18, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a plan to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The previously existing common stock purchase plan was canceled, and the new common share purchase plan does not have an expiration date. At May 31, 2025, we had $27.9 million remaining on the current common share purchase authorization.

Our uses of financing cash during the remainder of fiscal 2025 are expected to include required payments on our financing obligation and may include purchases of our common stock. However, the timing and amount of common stock purchases is dependent on a number of factors, including available resources, and we are not obligated to make purchases of our common stock during any future period.

**Sources of Liquidity**

We expect to pay the liabilities from our leases, financing obligation, and notes payable; pay for projected capital expenditures; and meet other obligations in fiscal 2025 and beyond from current cash balances and future cash flows from operating activities. Going forward, we will continue to incur costs necessary for the day-to-day operation of the business and may use additional credit and other financing alternatives, if necessary, for these expenditures. During fiscal 2023, we entered into the 2023 Credit Agreement which we expect to renew and amend on a regular basis to maintain the long-term borrowing capacity of this credit facility. Additional potential sources of liquidity available to us include factoring receivables, issuance of additional equity, or issuance of debt to public or private sources. If necessary, we will evaluate all of these options and select one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the associated cost of capital.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operating activities, and the availability of external funds as described above, will be sufficient for us to maintain our operations for at least the upcoming 12 months. However, our ability to maintain adequate capital for our operations in the future is dependent upon a number of factors, including sales trends, macroeconomic activity, our ability to contain costs, levels of capital expenditures, collection of accounts receivable, and other factors. Some of the factors that influence our operations are not within our control, such as general economic conditions, business conditions in international locations, geopolitical tensions in various locations, and the introduction of new offerings or technology by our competitors. We will continue to monitor our liquidity position and may pursue additional financing alternatives, as described above, to maintain sufficient resources for future growth and capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance such financing alternatives will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

**Material Uses of Cash and Contractual Obligations**

We do not operate any manufacturing, mining, or other capital-intensive facilities, and we have not structured any special purpose entities, or participated in any commodity trading activities, which would expose us to potential undisclosed liabilities or create adverse consequences to our liquidity. However, we have normal ongoing cash expenditures and are subject to various contractual obligations that are required to run our business. Our material cash requirements include the following:

Associate and Consultant Compensation

Information Technology Expenditures

Content Development Costs

Income Taxes

Other Contractual Obligations

These material cash requirements are discussed in more detail in Part II, Item 7, *Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations* in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on November 12, 2024 (our Annual Report). During the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our expected uses of cash and contractual

------

obligations from those discussed in our Annual Report except for the addition of a leasing arrangement on our new corporate headquarters location as discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements contained herein. However, current economic conditions and other forecasts may change and could alter our expected material uses of cash in future periods. For further information on our material uses of cash and contractual obligations, refer to the information included in our Annual Report.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. For information on our critical accounting policies, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" in the *Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations* included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report. Refer to those disclosures for further information regarding our uses of estimates and critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our previously disclosed estimates or critical accounting policies.

**Estimates**

Some of the accounting guidance we use requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions and base those estimates and assumptions on historical experience, factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and requirements under GAAP. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, including changes in economic conditions and other circumstances that are not within our control, but which may have an impact on these estimates and our actual financial results.

**NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

Refer to Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of new accounting pronouncements that may impact us.

**SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995**

Certain statements made by the Company in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and may contain words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," or words or phrases of similar meaning. In our reports and filings we may make forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our expectations about future revenue levels and financial results, our financial performance during fiscal 2025, our expectations regarding a new go-to-market strategy and sales force restructuring, future training and consulting revenue, expected increases in add-on subscription services revenue and delivered training and coaching days, anticipated renewals of subscription offerings, our ability to hire sales professionals, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, anticipated expenses, including SG&A expenses, depreciation, and amortization, future gross margins, the release of new services or products, the adequacy of existing capital resources, our ability to renew or extend our line of credit facility, expected effective income tax rates, the amount of cash expected to be paid for income taxes, our ability to maintain adequate capital for our operations for at least the upcoming 12 months, the expected impact of the resolution of significant macroeconomic issues and geopolitical tensions, the seasonality of future revenues, future compliance with the terms and conditions of our line of credit, the ability to borrow on our line of credit, expected collection of accounts receivable, estimated capital expenditures, and cash flow estimates used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. These, and other forward-looking statements, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are disclosed from time to time in reports filed by us with the SEC, including reports on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, entitled "Risk Factors." In addition, such risks and uncertainties may include unanticipated developments in any one or more of the following areas: cybersecurity risks; inflation and other macroeconomic risks; litigation; unanticipated costs or capital expenditures; delays or unanticipated outcomes relating to our strategic plans; dependence on existing products or services; the rate and consumer acceptance of new product introductions, including the All Access Pass; competition; the impact of foreign exchange rates; the number and nature of customers and their product orders, including changes in the timing or mix of product or training orders; pricing of our

------

products and services and those of competitors; adverse publicity; and other factors which may adversely affect our business.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors may emerge and it is not possible for our management to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any single factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

The market price of our common stock has been and may remain volatile. In addition, stock markets in general have experienced significant volatility. Factors such as quarter-to-quarter variations in revenues and earnings or losses and our failure to meet expectations could have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the price of our common stock can change for reasons unrelated to our performance, such as government actions on spending and trade. Due to our low market capitalization, the price of our common stock may also be affected by conditions such as a lack of analyst coverage, and fewer potential investors.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations as of the date made, and we do not undertake any responsibility to update any of these statements in the future except as required by law. Actual future performance and results will differ and may differ materially from that contained in or suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in our filings with the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

**Interest Rate Sensitivity**

At May 31, 2025, our long-term obligations primarily consisted of a long-term lease agreement (financing obligation) on our corporate headquarters facility, a fixed rate note payable from the purchase of Strive Talent, Inc., and deferred payments and potential contingent consideration resulting from previous business acquisitions. Since our long-term obligations have fixed interest rates, our overall interest rate sensitivity is currently influenced by any amount borrowed on our 2023 Credit Agreement, and the prevailing interest rate on this credit facility. The effective interest rate on the 2023 Credit Agreement is variable and was 6.0% on May 31, 2025, and our financing obligation has a payment structure equivalent to a long-term leasing arrangement with a fixed interest rate of 7.7%.

There have been no other material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report. We did not utilize any foreign currency or interest rate derivative instruments during the quarter or three quarters ended May 31, 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

------

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Franklin Saltlake LLC, the landlord (the Landlord) for leased premises which housed the Company's corporate offices previously located at 2200 West Parkway Blvd, Salt Lake City, UT, filed suit on December 20, 2024, in Third District Court, Salt Lake County, Utah, alleging that we have breached the lease by failing to make certain repairs and replacements to equipment on the premises. The Landlord originally sought approximately $2.3 million in damages and a right to enter the premises to make the alleged repairs. The Landlord filed an amended complaint on February 11, 2025, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss on February 25, 2025, which was subsequently denied by the court. In April 2025, the Landlord increased its damage claim to approximately $3.8 million. The Company vacated the premises on June 30, 2025; however, the Landlord now contends that the Company is in holdover. The Company denies all material allegations; contends that the premises and associated equipment remain in sound operating condition and use, and that no such repairs are warranted or needed. The Company intends to vigorously defend; however, given the early stages of litigation, any outcome remains uncertain.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Refer to Part I, Item 1A, *Risk Factors*, of our Annual Report for a detailed description of our significant risk factors. Other than the risk factor disclosed in this Item 1A below, there have been no significant changes to these risk factors during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

***The loss of governmental funding and contributions from charitable organizations could harm our Education Division's ability to grow and expand into new schools in the future.***

Schools in the United States benefit from governmental funding initiatives, such as the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) program, which provide additional funding for schools to pursue improvement programs such as *The Leader in Me* offering. In addition, we partner with charitable organizations to fund *The Leader in Me* programs in many schools across the country. Supported by numerous studies and endorsements, we believe *The Leader in Me* program provides meaningful and measurable improvement to the academic environment of schools, which enable the educational institutions to utilize governmental funding and attract additional support from charitable organizations to implement *The Leader in Me* offering. If governmental funding for school improvement expires or is reduced, or charitable organizations decide not to continue to support *The Leader in Me* schools, our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position may be adversely impacted.

***Our work with governmental clients exposes us to additional risks that are inherent in the government contracting process.***

Our clients include national, state, provincial, and local governmental entities, and our work with these governmental entities has various risks inherent in the governmental contracting process. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Governmental entities typically fund projects through appropriated monies. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects, the governmental entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of, or terminate, these projects for lack of approved funding, budgetary changes, and other discretionary reasons. Changes in governmental priorities or other political developments, including disruptions in governmental operations, could result in reductions in the scope of, or in termination of, our existing contracts.

Governmental entities often reserve the right to audit our contract costs, including allocated indirect costs, and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to our government contracts. Findings from an audit may result in our being required to prospectively adjust previously agreed-upon rates for our work, which may adversely affect our future margins.

If a governmental client discovers improper activities in the course of audits or investigations, we may become subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions, or debarment from doing business with other agencies of that government.

------

The occurrences or conditions described above could affect not only our business with the particular governmental agency involved, but also our business with other agencies of the same or other governmental entities. Additionally, because of their visibility and political nature, governmental contracts may present a heightened risk to our reputation. Any of these factors could have an adverse effect on our business or our results of operations.

***Adverse resolution of litigation may harm our operating results or financial condition.***

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business domestically and internationally. Any litigation can be costly, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of lawsuits could materially harm our business, operating results, or financial condition.

On December 20, 2024, our office Landlord filed a lawsuit alleging breach of lease for failure to perform certain equipment repairs and replacements. While we believe that the premises and associated equipment remain in sound operating condition, and that no such repair is warranted or needed and we intend to respond to all claims vigorously, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of current or future legal proceedings. The outcome of legal proceedings, whether or not meritorious, is inherently uncertain. Defending against claims requires significant management attention and financial resources. We may incur costs through defense expenses, settlements, or adverse judgments. These proceedings could materially harm our business operations, financial results and condition, management focus and resources, and reputation and brand value. The costs and distractions of litigation, particularly if claims increase in scope or number, could materially impact our business success and shareholder value.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following table summarizes the purchases of our common stock during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025:

---

| Total Common Shares | 372627 | $22.36 | 372627 | $27873 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> On April 18, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a plan to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The previously existing common stock purchase plan was canceled, and the new common share purchase plan does not have an expiration date. The actual timing, number, and value of common shares purchased under our plan will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of our common shares, and applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to purchase any common shares under the authorization, and the

------

purchase plan may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time for any reason. The purchase price of the shares shown in table above includes the applicable 1% required excise tax.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

**Indemnification Agreements**

On July 7, 2025, we entered into indemnification agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with our directors and executive officers, including our named executive officers. The Indemnification Agreements require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers, including our named executive officers, to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to the Company, and to advance certain expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against such director or officer as to which they could be indemnified.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**<u>Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements</u>**

During the quarter ended May 31, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (as each item is defined Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**INDEMNITY AGREEMENT**

This Indemnity Agreement, effective as of ____________, is made by and between

Franklin Covey Co., a Utah corporation with executive offices located at 13907 South Minuteman Drive, Suite 500, Draper, Utah 84020 (the "Company"), and _____________, [Title] of the Company (the "Indemnitee").

**RECITALS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A.The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B.The Company has determined that attracting and retaining such persons is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders and that it is reasonable, prudent, and necessary for the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C.Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its subsidiaries, it is necessary for the Company to contractually indemnify its officers and directors and the officers and directors of its subsidiaries, and to assume for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such officers and directors in connection with their service to the Company and its subsidiaries, and has further concluded that the failure to provide such contractual indemnification could result in great harm to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company's stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D.Utah Code Ann. § 16-10a-901 (the "Code"), et seq. empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; E.The Company believes that the interest of the Company's stockholders would best be served by the indemnification by the Company of the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; F.The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, provided that he or she is furnished the indemnity provided for herein.

**AGREEMENT**

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

**1. Definitions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) *Agent*. For the purposes of this Agreement, "agent" of the Company means any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of or to represent the interest of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise at the request of, for the convenience of or to represent the interests of such predecessor corporation.

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Expenses.* For purposes of this Agreement, "Expenses" includes all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) *Proceeding.* For the purposes of this Agreement, "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other type whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) *Subsidiary.* For purposes of this Agreement, "subsidiary" means any corporation of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and one or more other subsidiaries, or by one or more other subsidiaries.

**2. Agreement to Serve**. The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an agent of the Company, at its will (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of the Company, so long as he or she is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or until such time as he or she tenders his resignation in writing or he or she is removed from such position, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create any right to continued employment by the Indemnitee.

**3.** **Maintenance of Liability Insurance.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Indemnitee shall continue to serve as an agent of the Company and thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was an agent of the Company, the Company, subject to Section 3(b), shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors' and officers' liability insurance ("D&O Insurance") in reasonable amounts from established and reputable insurers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) So long as the Company or any Subsidiary maintains liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or agents of any such person, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered by such insurance in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' then current directors and officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) If at any date (i) such insurance ceases to cover acts and omissions occurring during all or any part of the period of Indemnitee's employment or term of service; or (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any such insurance, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered, with respect to acts and omissions prior to such date, for at least six years from such date, by other directors and officers liability insurance, in amounts and on terms (including the portion of the period of Indemnitee's Corporate Status covered) no less favorable to Indemnitee than the amounts and terms of the liability insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof.

**4. Mandatory Indemnification.** The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) *Third Party Actions*. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, against any and all Expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such Proceeding provided that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; and

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Derivative Actions.* If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, against any amounts paid in settlement of any such Proceeding and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such Proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company after the time for an appeal has expired by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of his or her duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which such court shall deem proper; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) *Actions Where Indemnitee is Deceased.* If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, against any and all Expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such Proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and prior to, during the pendency or after completion of such Proceeding the Indemnitee is deceased, except that in a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company no indemnification shall be due under the provisions of this subsection in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company after the time for an appeal has expired, by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) *Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance.* Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee under D&O Insurance.

5. **Partial Indemnification.** If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by him or her in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a Proceeding but not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled.

6. **Mandatory Advancement of Expenses.** Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the Company.

**Exhibit 10.1**

7. **Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) In the event the Company shall be obligated to pay the expenses of any proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee, upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee's expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

8. **Determination of Right to Indemnification.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) of this Agreement or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) In the event that the Indemnity is not successful in defending the Proceeding on the merits, the Company shall also indemnify the Indemnitee unless, and only to the extent that, the Company obtains an order from a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or Proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee and against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other Proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such Proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.

(d). The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee's sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement does not impose any remedy on Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Indemnitee will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, which may be provided or withheld in the Company's sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

against Indemnitee if such settlement includes any non-monetary remedy binding or purporting to bind the Company.

9. **Limitation of Actions and Release of Claims.** No Proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary against the Indemnitee, his or her spouse, heirs, estate, executors or administrators after the expiration of one year from the act or omission of the Indemnitee upon which such Proceeding is based; however, in a case where the Indemnitee fraudulently conceals the facts underlying such cause of action, no Proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted after the expiration of one year from the earlier of (i) the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company discovers such facts, or (ii) the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company could have discovered such facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any claim or cause of action of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including claims predicated upon the negligent act or omission of the Indemnitee, shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by filing of a legal action within such period. This Section 9 shall not apply to any cause of action which has accrued on the date hereof and of which the Indemnitee is aware on the date hereof, but as to which the Company has no actual knowledge apart from the Indemnitee's knowledge.

10. **Exceptions.** Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) *Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.* Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or pay any Expenses of the Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under the Code, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) *Lack of Good Faith.* Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or pay any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by the Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such Proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) *Unauthorized Settlements.* Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding unless the Company consents to such settlement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) *Claims by the Company for Willful Misconduct.* Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding or claim brought by the Company against the Indemnitee for willful misconduct, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of such claims was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) *Section 16(b)*. Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for any claims arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) *Willful Misconduct.* Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee on account of the Indemnitee's conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct; or

Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for the payment of amounts required to be reimbursed to the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

11. **Nonexclusivity.** The provisions for indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company's stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, or otherwise, both as to actions in his or her official capacity and to actions in another capacity while occupying his or her position as an agent of the Company, and the Indemnitee's rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

14. **Modification and Waiver.** No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.
