Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business & Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 of Sleep Number Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries (Sleep Number or the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period. In addition, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, historic low consumer sentiment and other external factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, inflation, consumer sentiment, store restrictions mandated by federal, state or local authorities and global supply chain disruptions (especially disruptive supply and flow of semiconductor chips and other electronic components), the extent to which these external factors will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. In addition, during the current environment involving external factors such as COVID-19, historic low consumer sentiment and the war in Ukraine, predicting future events will be especially challenging for management. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods and could be material. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sleep Number Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Fair Value Measurements

At July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, we had $17 million and $19 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $17 million and $19 million at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, which are included in other non-current liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

5. Credit Agreement

As of July 2, 2022, our credit facility had a total commitment amount of $825 million. The credit facility is for general corporate purposes, to meet our seasonal working capital requirements and to repurchase our stock. The credit agreement includes an accordion feature which allows us to increase the amount of the credit facility from $825 million to $1.2 billion, subject to lenders’ approval. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio (4.5x) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0x). Under the terms of the credit agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement matures in December 2026. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of July 2, 2022.

6. Leases

We lease our retail, office and manufacturing space under operating leases which, in addition to the minimum lease payments, may require payment of a proportionate share of the real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses. While our local market development approach generally results in long-term participation in given markets, our retail store leases generally provide for an initial lease term of five to 10 years. Our office and manufacturing leases provide for an initial lease term of up to 15 years. In addition, our mall-based retail store leases may require payment of variable rent based on net sales in excess of certain thresholds. Certain leases may contain options to extend the term of the original lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Lease options are included in the lease term only if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. We also lease vehicles and certain equipment under operating leases with an initial lease term of three to five years.

Our operating lease costs include facility, vehicle and equipment lease costs, but exclude variable lease costs. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, after consideration of rent escalations and rent holidays. The lease term for purposes of the calculation begins on the earlier of the lease commencement date or the date we take possession of the property. During lease renewal negotiations that extend beyond the original lease term, we estimate straight-line rent expense based on current market conditions. Variable lease costs are recorded when it is probable the cost has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Future payments for real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses for which we are obligated are not included in operating lease costs.

At July 2, 2022, our finance right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were not significant.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If a material loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible material losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate, or the potential loss is not material. We currently do not expect the outcome of pending legal proceedings to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

Shareholder Class Action Complaints

On December 14, 2021, purported Sleep Number shareholder, Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds (Steamfitters), filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District of Minnesota) on behalf of all purchasers of Sleep Number common stock between February 18, 2021 and July 20, 2021, inclusive, against Sleep Number, Shelly Ibach and David Callen. Steamfitters alleges material misstatements and omissions in certain of Sleep Number’s public disclosures during the purported class period, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, reasonable costs and expenses and equitable/injunctive or other relief as deemed appropriate by the District of Minnesota.

On February 14, 2022, a second purported Sleep Number shareholder, Ricardo Dario Schammas, moved for appointment as lead plaintiff in the action. On March 24, 2022, the District of Minnesota heard argument on Schammas’s motion, and subsequently appointed Steamfitters and Schammas as Co-Lead Plaintiffs (together, Co-Lead Plaintiffs). On July 19, 2022, Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, which, like the predecessor complaint, asserts claims against Sleep Number, Shelly Ibach, and David Callen under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Co-Lead Plaintiffs purport to assert these claims on behalf of all purchasers of Sleep Number common stock between February 18, 2021 and July 20, 2021. Defendants have not yet responded to the consolidated amended complaint, but believe the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the matter.

Shareholder Derivative Complaint

On May 12, 2022, Gwendolyn Calla Moore, as the appointed representative of purported Sleep Number shareholder Matthew Gelb, filed a derivative action (the Derivative Action) in the District of Minnesota against Jean-Michel Valette, Shelly Ibach, Barbara Matas, Brenda Lauderback, Daniel Alegre, Deborah Kilpatrick, Julie Howard, Kathleen Nedorostek, Michael Harrison, Stephen Gulis, Jr., David Callen, and Kevin Brown. Moore purports to assert claims on behalf of Sleep Number for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act. Moore’s allegations generally mirror those asserted in the securities complaint described above. The Moore complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement, interest, and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Defendants have not yet responded to the complaint in the Derivative Action, but believe the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the matter.

Stockholder Demand

On March 25, 2022, Sleep Number received a stockholder litigation demand, requesting that the Board investigate the allegations in the securities class action complaint and pursue claims on Sleep Number’s behalf based on those allegations. On May 12, 2022, the Board established a special litigation committee to investigate the demand.


13. COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our 2021 and 2022 financial performance. In the first six months of 2021, even with the COVID-19 challenges, we generated strong demand and financial performance. In the first six months of 2022, our financial performance was impacted by: (i) the disruptive flow of semiconductor chips which affected our ability to deliver products to our customers; (ii) incremental costs from labor and material inflation, and expediting costs resulting from current-period global supply chain shortages; and (iii) record low consumer sentiment. The pandemic's future effects on our global supply chain and the potential for supply disruption (e.g., the lack or slowing of critical components caused by labor shortages or government-mandated work closures), effects on consumer demand and effects on our ongoing financial performance remains uncertain. See Part II, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our business.

COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact on our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our 2021 and 2022 financial performance. In the first six months of 2021, even with the COVID-19 challenges, we generated strong demand and financial performance. In the first six months of 2022, our financial performance was impacted by: (i) the disruptive flow of semiconductor chips which affected our ability to deliver products to our customers; (ii) incremental costs from labor and material inflation, and expediting costs resulting from current-period global supply chain shortages; and (iii) record low consumer sentiment. The pandemic's future effects on our global supply chain and the potential for supply disruption (e.g., the lack or slowing of critical components caused by labor shortages or government-mandated work closures), effects on consumer demand and effects on our ongoing financial performance remains uncertain. See Part II, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our business.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results

Quarterly and year-to-date operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, timing of investments in growth initiatives and infrastructure, timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, timing of new product introductions and related expenses, timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, disruptions in global supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, consumer sentiment and general economic conditions. In addition, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other external factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, inflation, consumer sentiment, store restrictions mandated by federal, state or local authorities and global supply chain disruptions, the extent to which these external factors will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months ended July 2, 2022 were as follows:

Net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2022 increased 13% to $549 million, compared with $484 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021. Demand was negatively impacted by a worsening macro environment with record low consumer sentiment. Net sales benefited from the delivery of high-revenue smart beds awaiting the arrival of a semiconductor chip for our Flexfit adjustable base.
The 13% net sales increase consisted of a 9% comparable sales increase in Total Retail in addition to sales from 38 net new stores opened in the past 12 months that added 4 percentage points (ppt.) of growth. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 16.
Sales per store (sales for stores open at least one year, Total Retail, including online, phone and chat) on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended July 2, 2022 totaled $3.5 million, consistent with the same period last year.
Operating income for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was $50 million, compared with $30 million in the prior-year period. The $20 million increase in operating income was driven by the 13% increase in net sales, a 4.2 ppt. decrease in our operating expenses rate, partially offset by a 1.3 ppt. decrease in our gross profit rate.
The 1.3 ppt. gross profit rate decrease was primarily due to the operating inefficiencies resulting from the uneven flow of electronics supply and incremental costs from labor and material inflation, partially offset by a favorable sales mix of our smart beds. See the Gross profit discussion on page 18 for additional details.
The 4.2 ppt. decrease in our operating expenses rate was mainly due to the leveraging impact of the 13% net sales increase. In addition, we continued to prioritize investments in near- and long-term growth drivers, including $16 million of R&D expenses during the three months ended July 2, 2022.
Net income for the three months ended July 2, 2022 increased to $35 million, compared with $22 million for the same period one year ago. Net income per diluted share was $1.54, compared with $0.88 last year.
We achieved a return on invested capital (ROIC) of 21.8% on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended July 2, 2022, compared with 33.3% for the comparable period one year ago.
Cash provided by operating activities was pressured by year-over-year changes in working capital and lower net income for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and decreased to $29 million, compared with $161 million for the same period one year ago.
As of July 2, 2022, we had $443 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and available net liquidity of $376 million.

Comparison of Three Months Ended July 2, 2022 with Three Months Ended July 3, 2021

Net sales

Net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2022 increased by $65 million, or 13%, to $549 million, compared with $484 million for the same period one year ago. Demand was negatively impacted by a worsening macro environment with record low consumer sentiment. Net sales benefited from the delivery of high-revenue smart beds awaiting the arrival of a semiconductor chip for our Flexfit adjustable base.

The 13% net sales increase consisted primarily of a 9% comparable sales increase in Total Retail in addition to sales from 38 net new stores opened in the past 12 months that added 4 percentage points (ppt.) of growth. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 16.

The $65 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $41 million increase in our Total Retail comparable net sales; and (ii) a $24 million increase from net store openings. Total Retail smart bed unit sales decreased 11% compared with the prior year due to disruptive electronics supply. Total Retail average revenue per smart bed unit increased by 27% to $6,485, compared with $5,094 in the prior-year period and was impacted favorably by the high mix of our most profitable smart beds that had been awaiting the arrival of semiconductor chips for our FlexFit® adjustable bases.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $325 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 increased by $32 million, or 11%, compared with $293 million for the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate declined to 59.2% of net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared with 60.5% for the prior-year comparable period.

The current-year gross profit rate decrease of 1.3 ppt. was mainly due to: (i) operating inefficiencies resulting from the uneven flow of electronics supply; (ii) incremental costs from labor and material inflation; partially offset by; (iii) pricing actions taken over the past twelve months; and (iv) a more favorable sales mix of our most profitable smart beds that had been awaiting the arrival of semiconductor chips for our FlexFit® adjustable bases. In addition, our gross profit rate will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including return and exchange costs, and changes in performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2022 were $220 million, or 40.2% of net sales, compared with $206 million, or 42.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The current-year sales and marketing expenses rate decrease of 2.3 ppt. was primarily due to: (i) the leveraging impact of the 13% net sales increase; offset by (ii) the additional costs associated with operating 38 net new stores; and (iii) higher fees associated with our customer credit-based promotional offers.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $39 million, or 7.1% of net sales, for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $41 million, or 8.5% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The $2.5 million decrease in G&A expenses consisted mainly of: (i) a $4.1 million decrease in employee compensation primarily resulting from a year-over-year reduction in Company-wide performance-based incentive compensation; offset by (ii) a $1.6 million increase in other miscellaneous expenses, including technology investments. The G&A expenses rate decreased by 1.4 ppt. in the current-year period, compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact of the 13% net sales increase, in addition to the items discussed above.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $16 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, consistent with the same period last year as we continued to prioritize our long-term life-changing sleep innovation initiatives.

Interest expense

Interest expense, net increased to $4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $2 million for the same period one year ago. The $2 million increase was mainly driven by a higher weighted-average interest rate compared with the same period one year ago, and a higher level of outstanding borrowings during the three months ended July 2, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense totaled $11.4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $5.9 million last year. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was 24.5%, compared with 20.9% for the comparable period last year. Discrete tax benefits were minimal for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $1.0 million in last year’s second quarter, primarily related to stock-based compensation excess tax benefits.

Comparison of Six Months Ended July 2, 2022 with Six Months Ended July 3, 2021

Net sales

Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2022 increased by $24 million, or 2%, to $1.08 billion, compared with $1.05 billion for the same period one year ago. Demand was negatively impacted by a worsening macro environment with record low consumer sentiment.

The 2% net sales increase consisted of 4 percentage points (ppt.) of sales growth from net new stores opened in the past 12 months partially offset by a 2% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 16.

The $24 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $42 million increase resulting from net store openings; partially offset by (ii) an $18 million decrease in our Total Retail comparable net sales. Total smart bed unit sales declined 8% compared with the prior year. Average revenue per smart bed unit in Total Retail increased by 11% to $5,601, compared with $5,059 in the prior-year period.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $627 million decreased by $22 million, or 3%, compared with $649 million for the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate decreased to 58.3% of net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with 61.6% for the prior-year comparable period.

The current-year gross profit rate decrease of 3.3 ppt. was mainly due to: (i) incremental costs from labor and material inflation; (ii) operating inefficiencies resulting from the uneven flow of electronics supply and constrained deliveries; partially offset by (iii) pricing actions taken over the past twelve months. Our gross profit rate will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including return and exchange costs, product mix and changes in performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2022 were $461 million, or 42.8% of net sales, compared with $430 million, or 40.8% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The current-year sales and marketing expenses rate increase of 2.0 ppt. was primarily due to: (i) the additional costs associated with operating 38 net new stores; (ii) higher fees associated with our customer credit-based promotional offers; (iii) a 6% increase in media expenses; partially offset by (iv) lower variable compensation due to the negatively impacted demand.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $80 million, or 7.4% of net sales, for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $84 million, or 8.0% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The $4 million decrease in G&A expenses consisted of: (i) an $11 million decrease in employee compensation primarily resulting from a year-over-year decrease in Company-wide performance-based incentive compensation; partially offset by (ii) a $7 million increase in other miscellaneous expenses, including technology investments and travel expenses. The G&A expenses rate
19 | 2Q 2022 FORM 10-Q
SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION


decreased by 0.6 ppt. in the current-year period, compared with the same period one year ago due to the net expense reductions discussed above and the leveraging impact of the 2% net sales increase.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by 10% to $32 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $29 million for the same period one year ago. The R&D expense rate for the six months ended July 2, 2022 increased to 3.0% of net sales, compared with 2.8% of net sales for the prior year. The spending level increase supports our continued prioritization in our long-term life-changing sleep innovation initiatives.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased to $6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $3 million for the same period one year ago. The $3 million increase was mainly driven by a higherlevel of outstanding borrowings during the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with the same period one year ago, and a higher weighted-average interest rate compared with the same period one year ago.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense totaled $12 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $15 million last year. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2022 increased to 23.8%, compared with 14.2% for the comparable period last year, reflecting lower stock-based compensation excess tax benefits in the current-year six-month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Managing our liquidity and capital resources is an important part of our commitment to deliver superior shareholder value over time. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities and cash available under our $825 million revolving credit facility. As of July 2, 2022, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing other than our $6 million in outstanding letters of credit. The cash generated from ongoing operations and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations, and fund anticipated expansion, strategic initiatives and contractual obligations such as lease payments and capital commitments for new retail stores for the foreseeable future.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended July 2, 2022 primarily consisted of $29 million of cash provided by operating activities and a $71 million net increase in short-term borrowings, offset by $37 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, and $64 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock (based on settlement, $55 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $9 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants).

The following table summarizes our cash flows (in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

Net cash used in investing activities to purchase property and equipment was $37 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with $32 million for the same period one year ago. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the timing of cash flows associated with investments in information technology.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $131 million for the same period last year. During the six months ended July 2, 2022, we repurchased $64 million of our stock (based on settlement dates, $55 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $9 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards), compared with $281 million during the same period one year ago. Short-term borrowings increased by $71 million during the current-year period due to a $61 million increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $443 million and a $10 million increase in book overdrafts which are included in the net change in short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings increased by $146 million during the prior-year period due to a $138 million increase in borrowings under our credit facility to $382 million and an $8 million increase in book overdrafts.
Under our Board-approved share repurchase program, we repurchased 1.0 million shares at a cost of $55 million (based on trade dates, an average of $57.46 per share) during the six months ended July 2, 2022. During the six months ended July 3, 2021, we repurchased 2.1 million shares at a cost of $267 million (based on trade dates, an average of $125.86 per share). There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. At July 2, 2022, there is $348 million remaining authorization under our Board-approved $600 million share repurchase program.

As of July 2, 2022, we had $443 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We also had $6 million in outstanding letters of credit. Net liquidity available under our credit facility was $376 million at July 2, 2022. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio (4.5x) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0x). Our leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement was 3.3x as of July 2, 2022. Under the terms of the credit agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement is for general corporate purposes, to meet our seasonal working capital requirements and to repurchase our stock. As of July 2, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility was 3.7% and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

We have an agreement with Synchrony Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance their purchases from us (Synchrony Agreement). The Synchrony Agreement contains financial covenants consistent with our credit facility, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of July 2, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

On July 15, 2022, we executed a fifth amendment to the Synchrony Agreement that extended the term from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2028, subject to earlier termination upon certain events. Under the terms of the Synchrony Agreement, Synchrony Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts. As the accounts are owned by Synchrony Bank, at no time are the accounts purchased or acquired from us. We are not liable to Synchrony Bank for our customers’ credit defaults.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
(dollars in thousands)

ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies.

(1)Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
(2)Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 5) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
(3)Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 23.9% and 24.0% for July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
(4)Long-term debt includes existing finance lease liabilities.
(5)A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.
(6)Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.
(7)ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of July 2, 2022, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our $6 million in outstanding letters of credit, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2021. See Note 5, Credit Agreement, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 for additional information regarding our other contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in 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 January 1, 2022. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to changes in market-based short-term interest rates that will impact our net interest expense. If overall interest rates were one percentage point higher than current rates, our annual net income would decrease by $3.3 million based on the $443 million of borrowings under our credit facility at July 2, 2022. We do not manage the interest-rate volatility risk of borrowings under our credit facility through the use of derivative instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

Definitions

2.5    Change in Control.
(A)    A "Change in Control" of the Company under this Plan means a “Change in Control” as defined under the Sleep Number Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
(B)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent there is a change in the amount or time of payment under this Plan upon a Change in Control, then to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code, the transaction or event considered a “Change in Control” under the Sleep Number Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan with respect to such amount (or portion thereof) shall only constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the payment timing of such amount under this Plan if such transaction also constitutes a “change in control event” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). Consistent with the terms of this Section 2.5 and solely for purposes of this Plan, the Administrator shall have full and final authority to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.
2.6    Change in Control Base Amount. The “Change in Control Base Amount” is the Severance Pay benefit described in Section 4.2.
2.7    Change in Control Protection Period. A “Change in Control Protection Period” means the period:
(A)    that begins on the later of (i) six months prior to the Change in Control event and (ii) the date on which the Company or any of its Affiliates began discussions with a third party about the transaction that resulted in the Change in Control and
(B)    that ends on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control event.

2.11    Company. The “Company” is Sleep Number Corporation or its successor.
2.12    Employee. An “Employee” is any individual who performs services for a Participating Employer and is classified by the Participating Employer as a common-law employee. No reclassification of an individual as a common-law employee of a Participating Employer will be given retroactive effect for any purpose under this Plan.
2.13    Excluded Employee. An “Excluded Employee” is an Employee who:
(A)    resides in the United States but is not a United States citizen, unless he or she is classified as a permanent resident of the United States;

(D)    is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not specifically provide for participation in this Plan.
2.14    Good Reason.
(A)    “Good Reason” under this Plan any refusal to accept:
3



(1)    a material diminution in the Participant’s base compensation, which for purposes of this Plan will mean a reduction of 10% or more in the Participant’s salary plus target bonus;
(2)    discontinuation of eligibility to participate in a material long-term cash or equity award or equity-based grant program (or in a comparable substitute program) in which other Participants at a comparable level are generally eligible to participate;
(3)    any material diminution of authority, duties or responsibilities, including any change in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the Participant that is inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with the Participant’s then-current position(s), authority, duties and responsibilities with the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that “Good Reason” will not be deemed to exist pursuant to this clause (c) solely on account of the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity or solely on account of a change in the reporting relationship of the Participant; or
(4)    a material change in the geographic location at which the Company requires the Participant to be based as compared to the location where the Participant was based immediately prior to the change, which for purposes of this Plan will mean:
(a)    a relocation that results in an increase in the commuting distance from the Participant’s principal residence to his or her new job location of more than 50 miles, or
(b)    a relocation that requires the Participant to relocate his or her principal residence;
provided, the event or change constituting Good Reason under this Plan must constitute “good reason” as determined under Section 409A of the Code and consistent with the terms of this Section 2.14, and solely for purposes of this Plan, the Administrator shall have full and final authority to determine conclusively whether Good Reason has occurred under this Plan.
(B)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Qualified Employee will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless the Qualified Employee:
(1)    gives written notice to the Company of an event or change constituting Good Reason, and his or her intent to terminate employment with the Company on account of such Good Reason, within ninety (90) days after the date of the occurrence of any event or change that the Qualified Employee knows or should reasonably have known to constitute Good Reason and
(2)    actually has a Termination of Employment no later than six (6) months after the end of the thirty (30) day cure period referenced in paragraph (C) below.
(C)    If the Company remedies any event or change that constitutes Good Reason, within thirty (30) days of the notice from the Qualified Employee (pursuant to paragraph (B)(1) above), such event or change will not constitute Good Reason under this Plan.
(D)    Good Reason will not be deemed to exist as a result of any of the actions stated in clause 2.14(A) above to the extent that such actions are in connection with an across-the-board change or termination that equally affects at least ninety-five percent (95%) of all Participants.
(E)    The Qualified Employee’s continued employment (prior to the deadline stated in paragraph (B)(2) above) does not constitute consent to, or waiver of any rights arising in connection with, any circumstances constituting Good Reason.
(F)    The Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment for Good Reason as defined above will constitute Good Reason for all purposes of this Plan notwithstanding that the Qualified
4



Employee may also thereby be deemed to have retired under any applicable benefit plan, policy, or practice of the Company.
2.15    Incentive Plan Target. The Qualified Employee’s annual incentive target under the Sleep Number Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) expressed as a percent of eligible earnings, multiplied by the Qualified Employee’s annualized Base Pay, as that is determined immediately prior to:

whichever of the above that is the highest is the Incentive Plan Target.
2.16    Involuntary Termination of Employment. An “Involuntary Termination of Employment” means a Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment by (A) a Participating Employer for any reason other than “Cause” or (B) resignation by a Qualified Employee for “Good Reason.” Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment due to death, disability, or resignation other than for “Good Reason” is not considered “Involuntary Termination of Employment.”
2.17    Outplacement Services. “Outplacement Services” are the Severance Pay benefits described in Section 4.6
2.18    Participant. A “Participant” is a former Qualified Employee who is entitled to Severance Pay benefits under this Plan.
2.19    Participating Employer.

2.23    Qualified Employee. A “Qualified Employee” is an Employee who -
(A)    is paid under a U.S. domestic payroll of the Participating Employer;

(C)    is not an Excluded Employee.
2.24    Qualified Employee Category. A “Qualified Employee Category” is the employment classification of a Qualified Employee as determined by the Participating Employer in its sole discretion.
2.25    Regular Base Amount. The “Regular Base Amount” is the Severance Pay benefit described in Section 4.1.

The Release will waive all claims the Qualified Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (other than benefits payable following Termination of Employment), and such other statutes and rules of law as the Company may deem advisable.

In addition to compliance with all the other terms of this Plan, in order to be eligible to receive (and not required to repay) the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit, the Qualified Employee or Participant may not engage in any of the following “Restricted Activities” for a period of two (2) years after the Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment. The term “Restricted Activities” means the Qualified Employee will not, directly, or indirectly, alone or in any capacity with another person or entity:
(A)    engage in any commercial activity as described above that competes with the Company’s or any other Affiliate’s business as the Company or Affiliate has conducted it during the five years before the Qualified Employee's employment with the Participating Employer ends, within any state in the United States or within any country in which the Company or Affiliate directly or indirectly markets or services products or provides services;
(B)    interfere or attempt to interfere with the Company’s or any other Affiliate’s relationships with any of its current or prospective customers or vendors, by soliciting competing business from or having any competitive business-related contact with the customer or vendor or otherwise; or
(C)    employ, attempt to employ or otherwise contract for services with any person or entity who is then employed or engaged by the Company or any other Affiliate (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) on behalf of the Qualified Employee or any other person or entity, or take any action to induce any person or entity then employed or engaged by the Company or any other Affiliate (whether as an employee or independent contractor) to terminate their employment or engagement with the Company or any other Affiliate.
2.28    Severance Pay. “Severance Pay” means the benefits provided under the terms of this Plan. As described in Section 4, and subject to all the terms of this Plan, Severance Pay benefits may include the (a) Regular Base Amount, (b) Change in Control Base Amount, (c) COBRA Reimbursement and (d) Outplacement Services.
2.29    Termination of Employment. “Termination of Employment” means a termination of the Qualified Employee’s employment relationship (both as an employee and independent contractor) with the Company and all Affiliates or such other change in the Qualified Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and all Affiliates that would be considered a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. The Qualified Employee’s employment relationship will be treated as remaining intact while the Qualified Employee is on a military leave, a sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (pursuant to
6



which there is a reasonable expectation that the Qualified Employee will return to perform services for the Company or an Affiliate) but only if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the Qualified Employee retains a right to reemployment by the Company or an Affiliate under applicable statute or by contract, provided, however, where the Qualified Employee’s leave is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months and such impairment causes the Qualified Employee to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a twenty-nine (29) month period of absence may be substituted for such six (6) month period of absence. In all cases, the Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment must constitute a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and any “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code will be treated as a Termination of Employment.
ARTICLE 3

Entitlement to Severance Pay
3.1    Eligible Terminations. Severance Pay will be paid, subject to the other provisions of this Plan, only to a Qualified Employee subject to an Involuntary Termination of Employment by a Participating Employer.
3.2    Terminations Not Covered. No Severance Pay will be paid to any person upon commencement of a leave of absence, including military service leave, or to any person whose employment is terminated by:
(A)    his or her resignation (other than Involuntary Termination of Employment for Good Reason), retirement or death;
(B)    discharge for Cause;
(C)    failure to be reinstated following a leave of absence; or
(D)    refusal to accept a new job position with a Participating Employer, a transfer to a new work location or a reduction in wages or salary, other than such events that would constitute Good Reason under this Plan.
3.3    Release Required.
(A)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, as a condition to becoming a Participant in this Plan who is entitled to receive Severance Pay, the Qualified Employee must timely execute and deliver to the Administrator, and not subsequently revoke, a Release of claims in the form provided by the Company within fifty (50) days of the date of the Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment. The Qualified Employee will forfeit any right to Severance Pay if the Qualified Employee fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence or is in violation of the Employee Inventions, Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Mutual Arbitration Agreement or any other employment, non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement with the Company or any Affiliate. If the aggregate period during which the Qualified Employee is entitled to consider and/or revoke the Release spans two (2) calendar years, no Severance Pay will be paid prior to the beginning of the second such calendar year, and any payments otherwise payable prior thereto (if any) will instead be paid on the first regularly scheduled Company payroll date occurring in such second calendar year.
(B)    The requirement that the Qualified Employee not engage in any Restricted Activities in order to receive (and not be required to repay) the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit (if any) does not prevent the Qualified Employee from seeking employment during such two-year period so long as such employment commences after the expiration of such two-year period and does not require, induce or result in the disclosure of any trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any other Affiliate. In order to receive the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit (if any is owed), in the Release the Qualified Employee must acknowledge and agree that complying with the Restricted Activities restrictions will not prevent the Qualified Employee from earning a living after his or her Termination of Employment.
3.4    Restricted Activities. As a condition to being a Participant entitled to receive Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefits under this Plan, a Qualified Employee must not engage in any Restricted Activities or otherwise fail to comply with the provisions of this Plan including, but not limited to, Section 4.7. Pursuant to Section 4.7, a Participant who has received Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefits under this Plan may be required to repay the Company or other Affiliate for such amounts if the Administrator determines that the Participant has engaged in Restricted Activities or the Participant otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of Section 4.7.
3.5    Return of Property. No Severance Pay will be paid to a Participant prior to the date on which the Participant returns to his or her employer all property of the Company and any Affiliate he or she has in
8



his or her possession or control including, but not limited to, employee identification cards, credit cards, phone cards, vehicles, equipment, documents and electronic storage media.

4.3    COBRA Reimbursement. Subject to the other provisions of this Plan, if the Participant timely elects continued coverage (which may include coverage for the Participant, Participant’s spouse and/or Participant’s other eligible dependents) under the Participating Employer’s group medical plan and/or group dental plan pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), in accordance with ordinary plan practices and provides appropriate documentation of such payment as requested by the Administrator, the Participating Employer will reimburse the Participant each month during the Premium Reimbursement Period an amount equal to the difference between the amount the Participant pays for such COBRA continuation coverage each such month and the amount paid by a full-time active employee of the Participating Employer each such month for the same level of coverage elected by the Participant. Any such reimbursement or payment will be made on or before the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which any COBRA continuation coverage payment was incurred. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Premium Reimbursement Period is the period that begins on the date of Termination of Employment and ends on the earlier of:
(A)    the last date of the Premium Reimbursement Period that applies to the Participant based on his or her Qualified Employee Category in the table below;
(B)    the date on which the Participant’s eligibility for COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group medical or group dental plan ends or the Participant chooses to stop their COBRA continuation coverage; or
(C)    the date on which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in another group medical plan (that provides “major medical” coverage) or group dental plan, as the case may be, because of reemployment or otherwise, whether or not the Participant elects to participate in such plan.
Other than the Premium Reimbursement Period payments described in this Section 4.3, the Participant’s coverage under any Participating Employer employee benefit plan is subject to the terms of such employee benefit plan and applicable law.

(or a similar law of any state) within the two year period following such previous Termination of Employment.
4.5    Period of Payment.
(A)        
(1)    With respect to a Qualified Employee who is classified by the Participating Employer as Tier I or II, the Regular Base Amount Severance Pay benefit pursuant to Section 4.1 and, if applicable, the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit pursuant to Section 4.2, will be paid in a single lump sum within a reasonable time following the Participant’s Termination of Employment (subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 relating to execution and delivery of a Release within the required time period) and in no event later than March 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year during which such Termination of Employment occurs; provided, if the Participant’s Termination of Employment is within a Change in Control Protection Period but before the Closing of the Change in Control, payment of the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit pursuant to Section 4.2 will be paid within thirty (30) days after the Closing of the Change in Control.
(2)    With respect to a Qualified Employee who is classified by the Participating Employer as a Tier III, the Regular Base Amount Severance Pay benefit pursuant to Section 4.1 will be paid in substantially equal installments at regular payroll intervals beginning no later than forty-five (45) days after the Participant’s Termination of Employment (subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 relating to execution and delivery of a Release within the required time period); provided, that any portion of the Severance Pay benefit pursuant to Section 4.1 would exceed the limitations of the separation pay exception to Code Section 409A (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)) will be paid in a single lump sum within a reasonable time following the Participant’s Termination of Employment (subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 relating to execution and delivery of a Release within the required time period) and in no event
12



later than March 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year during which such Termination of Employment occurs.
(B)    Payments of amounts under this Plan are intended to comply with one or more exemptions or exclusions under Section 409A of the Code and any final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), and to the extent Section 409A is applicable to any payments or benefits under this Plan, this Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A. This Plan shall be construed and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions.
(C)    It is intended that the Severance Pay amounts under this Plan are excluded from Section 409A of the Code either as short-term deferrals under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or as payments under a separation pay plan as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9).
(D)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan if, at the time of the Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment, the Qualified Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and the Company determines that paying any Severance Pay at the time or times indicated in this Plan would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code then, in addition to the conditions specified herein, no payment under this Plan will be made until the first day after the end of the six (6) month period following the date of the Qualified Employee’s Termination of Employment or, if earlier, upon the Qualified Employee’s death. If any such suspended payment is not made within ten (10) days of the end of such six (6) month period, the Company will pay the Qualified Employee interest, equal to the Applicable Federal Rate (“AFR”) determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code in effect for each month, from the date of Termination of Employment through the date of payment.
4.6    Outplacement Services. A Participant will be eligible to receive outplacement services through a provider selected by the Company and at the expense of the Company, subject to the limits set forth below and subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Plan. A Participant in Tier III will be eligible to receive up to nine (9) months of outplacement services at a cost to the Company of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000); a Participant in Tier II will be eligible to receive up to twelve (12) months of outplacement services at a cost to the Company of up to twelve thousand and five hundred dollars ($12,500); and a Participant in Tier I will be eligible to receive outplacement services until obtaining a new role at a cost to the Company of up to eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000). Eligibility for outplacement services under this Section 4.6 will terminate immediately upon the acceptance by the Participant of employment with another employer at a level of compensation and benefits reasonably comparable to the compensation and benefits that the Participant was entitled to immediately prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment with the Company or any other Affiliate.
4.7    Termination or Repayment of Severance Pay Benefits. A Participant’s right to receive Severance Pay benefits terminates upon the occurrence of any of the following events.
(A)    The Participant becomes re-employed by the Company or any other Affiliate. Upon the date of reemployment no further payments of Severance Pay (Regular Base Amount, Change in Control Base Amount, COBRA Reimbursement and/or Outplacement Services) will be owed to the Participant.
(B)    The Participant’s Release is declared invalid or the Participant revokes (or attempts to revoke) the Release or commences or is part of a legal or administrative action against the Company, any of its Affiliates, or the directors, officers, or employees of any of them that is based on any claim waived under the Release. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Participant shall, upon demand of the Administrator, repay to the Participating Employer the full amount of all Severance Pay benefits (Regular Base Amount, Change in Control Base Amount, COBRA Reimbursement and/or Outplacement Services) he or she received, to the extent such amount would not have been payable under this Plan if the Participant had not executed the Release.
(C)    The Chief Legal Risk Officer (or the office of the Company’s general counsel) informs the Administrator that the Participant is in violation of the Employee Inventions, Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Mutual Arbitration Agreement or any other employment, non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality, compensation, stock option or equity agreement with the Company or any other
13



Affiliate. Upon the occurrence of any such violation, the Participant shall, upon demand of the Administrator, repay to the Participating Employer the full amount of all Severance Pay benefits (Regular Base Amount, Change in Control Base Amount, COBRA Reimbursement and/or Outplacement Services) he or she received pursuant to this Plan.
(D)    With respect only to the Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefit, the Chief Legal Risk Officer (or the office of the Company’s general counsel) informs the Administrator that the Participant has engaged in any Restricted Activities. Upon the occurrence of any such violation, the Participant shall, upon demand of the Administrator, repay to the Participating Employer the full amount of Change in Control Base Amount Severance Pay benefits he or she received (if any) pursuant to this Plan.
4.8    Death of Participant. If a Participant dies prior to receiving all of the Severance Pay benefits to which he or she is entitled, any remaining payments will be made to the Participant’s estate. If the Participant dies during the COBRA reimbursement period pursuant to Section 4.3, COBRA premium reimbursement payments still owed (if any) will continue to be paid to the Participant’s estate.
4.9    Limitation on Change in Control Payments.
(A)    If all or any portion of the Severance Pay benefits described herein are determined to be “payments” contingent upon a Change of Control within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, together with any other “payments” that the Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation that is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, then the “payments” to such Participant from all such sources will be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, that such reduction will be made only if the aggregate amount of the payments after such reduction exceeds the difference between (1) the amount of such payments absent such reduction minus (ii) the aggregate amount of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code attributable to any such excess parachute payments. It is presumed that the payments will first be reduced in the order described in Section 17.5 of the Sleep Number Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and that Severance Pay benefits under this Plan will only be reduced as described herein to the extent that all “incentive payments” under the Sleep Number Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan have first been reduced; provided, that any Participant for whom any excess payment reduction is required shall have the right to elect to first waive all or part of the Severance Pay benefits otherwise owed to the Participant under this Plan before application of the ordering rules set forth under the Sleep Number Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
(B)    This paragraph applies only with respect to a Participant who is classified by the Participating Employer as a Tier I Qualified Employee (“Tier I Participant”). The determination of whether and the extent to which any payments must be reduced pursuant to paragraph (A) above, will be made by a national accounting firm selected (and paid for) by the Company. If the Tier I Participant disagrees with the Section 280G calculation performed by such national accounting firm, the Tier I Participant may submit a written request to the Company’s Board of Directors that a second calculation be completed by another national accounting firm selected by such Tier I Participant and the Company will pay for such second Section 280G calculation. The determination of such second national accounting firm shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Tier I Participant and the Company.
(C)    This paragraph applies with respect to any Participant who is classified by the Participating Employer as a Tier III or Tier II Qualified Employee. The determination of whether and the extent to which any payments must be reduced pursuant to paragraph (A) above, will be made by a national accounting firm selected (and paid for) by the Company. If any such Participant disagrees with the Section 280G calculation performed by such national accounting firm, the Participant may submit a written request to the Company’s Board of Directors that a second calculation be completed by another national accounting firm mutually agreed upon by such Participant and the Company and the Company will pay for such second Section 280G calculation; provided, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may grant or deny the Participant’s request for a second Section 280G calculation. The determination of
14



such second national accounting firm (if any) shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Participants and the Company.

Administration
5.1    Administrator. The Committee will be the Administrator of the Plan and will have overall responsibility for administration of the Plan. The Committee may delegate to the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company or any other person to perform administrative duties on behalf of the Company and may revoke any such delegation at any time. Any delegation to a person who is not an Employee of an Affiliate will be in writing, and any delegation to an Employee of an Affiliate will terminate upon the termination of his or her employment. If the name of position of Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company changes or the duties of such position are transferred to another position, such other position will be substituted for the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company in this provision.
5.2    Administrator’s Discretion. The Administrator will have the discretionary power and authority to establish, modify or terminate Plan policies, rules, or procedures, to interpret, construe, apply and enforce the terms of the Plan or any such Plan rules, polices or procedures whenever he or she deems necessary in its administration. Such discretion will include, without limitation, the discretionary power and authority to (A) determine whether an individual is a Qualified Employee and their Qualified Employee Category, the amount of a Qualified Employee’s benefit and whether a Qualified Employee has satisfied applicable conditions or is subject to limitations and (B) remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies, omissions, and erroneous benefit calculations. All acts and decisions of the Administrator made in good faith are binding on all interested persons.

16



ARTICLE 6
Amendment and Termination of Plan
6.1    Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. Subject to Section 6.2, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time by a written instrument approved in advance by the Committee and signed by the Chief Legal Risk Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company. If the name of position of Chief Legal Risk Officer and/or Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company changes or the duties of such position are transferred to another position, such other position will be substituted for the Chief Legal Risk Officer or Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company in this provision. Subject to Section 6.2, the amendment or termination of the Plan shall be effective as of the date specified in such instrument and may apply to any Qualified Employee or Participant, except that no amendment will be effective to reduce the total amount of Severance Pay payable to a Participant whose employment with all Affiliates terminated before the date the amendment is adopted. Any Employee whose employment terminates on or after the effective date of the termination of the Plan will be ineligible for Severance Pay.
6.2    Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 6.1:
(A)    the Company (or on or following a Change in Control, the Company, or any successor) may not amend or terminate this Plan during a Change in Control Protection Period in any way that would adversely affect the rights of any Qualified Employee under the Plan without the written consent of such affected Qualified Employee and
(B)    any Severance Pay payable to any individual who is a Qualified Employee in this Plan as of the day immediately prior to the first day of the Change in Control Protection Period and whose employment with all Affiliates terminates at any time during the Change in Control Protection Period, will be no less than the Severance Pay such Qualified Employee would have been entitled to receive under this Plan if he or she had become entitled to Severance Pay upon an Involuntary Termination of Employment with the Company on the date of the Change in Control.
ARTICLE 7
17




Miscellaneous Provisions
7.1    Participation by Affiliate. An Affiliate may, when authorized by its board of directors, adopt this Plan for the benefit of its Employees, subject to the approval of the Administrator. Upon adoption of this Plan, the Participating Employer is subject to the terms of this Plan, as amended by the Company. Subject to Section 6.2, any Participating Employer may terminate this Plan with respect to its Employees at any time when authorized by its board of directors.
7.2    No Benefit Accrues. No Employee of any Affiliate will accrue any right to benefits under this Plan before satisfying all of the requirements for Plan benefits in effect at the termination of his or her employment. No Participant will accrue any right to continued benefits under this Plan unless he or she satisfies the conditions for eligibility as of the date each benefit installment becomes payable.
7.3    Indemnification. Each Affiliate will indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each of its directors, officers and employees against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees) of every kind and nature that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such person at any time by reason of such individual’s services at the request of the Affiliate in connection with the Plan, but only if such individual did not act dishonestly or in bad faith or in willful violation of the law, regulation or Company by-law under which such liability, loss, cost or expense arises. An Affiliate has the right, but not the obligation, to select counsel and control the defense and settlement of any action for which an individual may be entitled to indemnification under this provision.
7.4    Specialist’s Assistance. The Administrator may retain such actuarial, accounting, legal, clerical, and other services as may reasonably be required in the administration of the Plan, and may pay reasonable compensation for such services. All costs of administering the Plan will be paid by the Company.
7.5    Benefits Claim Procedure. The claim and appeal review procedures set forth below will apply to this Plan.
(A)    The Participant (“Claimant”), or the Participating Employer on the Participant’s behalf, must make a claim for benefits under the Plan with the Administrator. A claim for benefits must be made no later than 60 days following the Termination of Employment.
(1)    Within 30 days after receipt of a claim for benefits, the Administrator will render a written decision on the claim to the Claimant.
(2)    If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Administrator will send notification of the denial to the Claimant. Such notification will comply with the requirements set forth in Department of Labor regulation 2560.503-1(g).
(B)    Appeals of denied claims will be subject to the following procedures.
(1)    To appeal the denial, the Claimant or his or her representative must file a written request for review with the Administrator not later than 60 days after the Claimant receives the Administrator’s written decision on the claim.
(2)    The Claimant or his or her representative may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits to the Administrator for consideration by the Administrator without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial review determination.
(3)    The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits.
18



(4)    The Administrator will make a decision on review within 60 days of the receipt of the request for review and will provide the decision on review in writing to the Claimant.
(5)    If the denial is upheld in whole or part, the Administrator will notify the Claimant. The notification will include the reasons for the denial, the reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based and the Plan’s response to any additional information provided by the Claimant following the initial review determination.
(C)    The 30- and 60-day periods during which the Administrator must respond to the Claimant, may be extended by up to an additional 30- or 60- days, respectively, if circumstances beyond the Administrator’s control so require and if notice of such extension is given to the Claimant. If the time for rendering a written decision on a claim is extended due to the Claimant’s failure to provide information necessary to decide the claim, the time period for making the determination will be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.
(D)    Any individual who fails to follow the claim and appeal procedure will be barred from asserting his or her claim in any judicial or administrative proceeding.
7.6    Disputes. The United States District Court for the District of Minnesota is the exclusive proper venue for any action involving a dispute between any individual and any Affiliate, the Administrator or any other person relating to or arising from the Plan, and such court will have personal jurisdiction over any Qualified Employee named in the action. The law as stated and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit or the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota will apply to and control all actions relating to the Plan brought against the Plan. No action relating to or arising from the Plan may be commenced against the Plan, the Plan Administrator or the Company more than six months following termination of the involved individual’s employment with an Affiliate or, if later, 90 days after the issuance of the Administrator’s final decision on the request for review of a denied claim under the Plan’s benefit claim procedure.
7.7    Company Action. The Company’s decisions and actions pursuant to the Plan (other than those decisions which the Plan requires to be made by the Administrator when the Company is acting in that capacity) will be made or taken in the Company’s own interest, and the Company is not required to consider the interest of any Qualified Employee or other individual, it being intended that any such decision or action will be made or taken by the Company in its settlor capacity rather than in a fiduciary capacity.
7.8    Status of Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan is to be construed as providing for assets to be held for the benefit of any Qualified Employee or any other person to whom benefits are to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Plan, the Qualified Employee’s or other person’s only interest under the Plan being the right to receive the benefits specified in this instrument. To the extent the Qualified Employee or any other person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Plan, such right is no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
7.9    No Assignment of Benefits. The benefits payable under the Plan and the right to receive future benefits under the Plan may not be anticipated, alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or subjected to any charge or legal process.
7.10    Withholding, Clawback, and Offsets. The Company retains the right to withhold from any benefit payment pursuant to the Plan any and all income, employment, excise and other taxes as the Company deems necessary, and the Company may offset against amounts otherwise then distributable to any person under the Plan any amounts such person then owes the Company but only if and to the extent allowed under Section 409A of the Code. Any amounts payable or paid under this Plan are subject to any policy (whether in existence as of the Effective Date or later adopted), including, but not limited to, the Sleep Number Clawback and Forfeiture Policy, established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to the Qualified Employee. The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with any applicable law or regulation.
19



7.11    Other Benefits. No amounts paid pursuant to the Plan constitute salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any other benefit plan, practice, policy, or procedure of the Company that does not expressly provide otherwise.
7.12    No Employment Rights Created. Neither the maintenance of nor participation in the Plan gives any employee a right to continued employment or limits the right of the Company to discharge, transfer, demote or modify the terms and conditions of employment or otherwise deal with any employee without regard to the effect such action might have on him or her with respect to the Plan. The Plan does not alter the status of each Participant as an at-will employee of the Company.
7.13    Successors. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all obligations of the Company under the Plan are binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its authorized officers on the date written below.

WHEREAS, Bank and Retailer desire to amend the Agreement to extend the Term, adjust exclusivity, adjust certain economic provisions, and consolidate the Prior Amendments, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

I.    AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT

1.1    Consolidation of the Prior Amendments. The Prior Amendments are hereby replaced and restated by this Fifth Amendment. As of August 1, 2022, the Agreement will be deemed amended by this Fifth Amendment only.

1.2    Discount Refund. As stated in the Second Amendment, the parties agree to delete Section 6(h) of the Agreement in its entirety and replace it with the following:

Accordingly, Section 5(b) and Section 19(b)(iii), both dealing with the Credit Review Point, are deleted in their entirety, and each marked as “Intentionally Omitted.”

1.5    Addition of New Section 2(f). The following Section 2(f) is hereby added to the Agreement:

(f)    Use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to strengthen Bank’s information technology infrastructure.



Exhibit 10.2
1.6    Amendment to Section 5(d). Section 5(d) added in the Third Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


(d)     Expanded Underwriting. Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to increase approval rates above and beyond the underwriting criteria Bank has used historically for the Program (as updated from time to time to reflect improved forecasted and changing economic conditions) by [***]; provided that this commitment is conditioned on opened Accounts in any calendar quarter having a distribution of [***] (as measured on a credit line basis) having an applicant Vantage credit score (or Vantage equivalent score) of [***]. Retailer acknowledges that Bank may need to adjust underwriting based on economic conditions or Applicable Law, but, subject to the preceding sentence, Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to target an approval rate that is [***] than the strategy Bank would otherwise apply to the Program except in extreme circumstances where Bank reasonably forecasts excessive loss rates and is applying similar credit action(s) to similarly situated furniture programs on Bank’s Home and Auto platform.

1.7    Amendment to Section 6(a). Effective as of August 1, 2022, Section 6(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a)    Bank initially will make available under the Program those credit-based promotions and corresponding Retailer Fee Percentages described on the attached Schedule 6(a). The version of this Section 6(a) that was in effect through July 31, 2022 contained special pricing with a repayment obligation if Retailer exceeded [***] using the specials in any calendar year. Bank agrees that it will waive its right to collect up to [***] for amounts owed under the prior version of Section 6(a) because Retailer’s use of specials exceeded [***] for the period [***].

1.8    Amendment to Section 6(c). Section 6(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(c)    At the end of each calendar year, Bank and Retailer will review and evaluate the effectiveness of the Program generally (including the credit-based promotion sales mix, the overall level of sales charged to Accounts, and Account fraud and credit losses during such period), as well as the performance of each credit-based promotion during such period. Based on such review, Bank may, after consultation with and notice to Retailer, [***]. In addition, Retailer acknowledges that Bank may modify, terminate, or replace one or more credit-based promotions due to changes in applicable law (including Regulation Z) or regulatory guidance.

1.9    Amendment to Section 6(e). Effective as of December 30, 2022, Section 6(e) and all other references are hereby amended by replacing references to “Twelve Month LIBOR” and “Base Twelve Month LIBOR” with “Cost of Funds Index” and “Base Cost of Funds Index,” respectively.

1.10    Amendments to Section 6(i). The following amendments to Section 6(i) are effective as of December 30, 2022.

(a)    The definition of “Base Twelve Month LIBOR” in Appendix A is hereby deleted and replaced with the following definition for “Base Cost of Funds Index”:
Base Cost of Funds Index” means [***].
(b)    The definition of “Twelve Month LIBOR” in Appendix A is hereby deleted and replaced with the following definition for “Cost of Funds Index”:
Cost of Funds Index” means, for any date, the U.S. Treasury Securities at 1-Year Constant Maturity (“1-Year Treasuries”) that are in effect as of the date, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (US) at: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/ (or if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (US) ceases to publish the rates on its website in a reliable manner, at another website or publication as Bank may reasonably designate). If during the Term the 1-Year Treasuries (or any replacement Cost of Funds Index) ceases to be reported, or Bank reasonably determines that the 1-Year Treasuries (or any replacement Cost of Funds Index) is no longer, or will no longer be, a reliable benchmark, then Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may designate an industry-accepted replacement rate (and the medium for the publishing of the replacement rate) and an appropriate base to replace the Base Cost of Funds Index, each as adjusted as necessary to align the replacement index and base to the greatest degree practicable with the index and base being replaced, in each case as reasonably acceptable to Retailer.



1.11    Addition of New Section 6(j). Effective January 1, 2023, the following new Section 6(j) is hereby added to the Agreement:

(j)    Marketing Fund. Within 30 days after the beginning of each calendar year, Bank will allocate to the Marketing Fund an amount equal to [***] of the immediately prior calendar year’s Net Program Sales.

Except for the right to require Bank to make payments from such fund from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, Retailer shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Marketing Fund or in or to any amounts which have been allocated thereto. Any amounts previously allocated to the Marketing Fund but not used as of (x) [***], or (y) the date of any notice of termination or non-renewal of the Agreement, may be withdrawn and retained by Bank for its own account without obligation to account therefor to Retailer.

1.12    Addition of New Section 6(k). Effective July 1, 2022, the following new Section 6(k) is hereby added to the Agreement:

For clarity, for calendar year 2022, Bank will allocate [***] within 30 days after the Fifth Amendment is fully executed and Retailer will have twelve months from that date to use the funds.

    “Innovation Fund” means a record maintained by Bank that is used to fund the mutually agreed upon costs and expenses of implementing the mutually agreed upon innovation plans (such as funding dedicated resources and enhancements to the Retailer Website, mobile applications and technology platforms used in connection with the promotion of the Program) for the Program, including agreed upon costs incurred by Bank and Retailer. Except for the right to require Bank to make payments from such fund from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, Retailer shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Innovation Fund or in or to any amounts which have been allocated thereto. Any amounts previously allocated to the Innovation Fund but not used as of (x) [***], or (y) the date of any notice of termination or non-renewal of the Agreement, may be withdrawn and retained by Bank for its own account without obligation to account therefor to Retailer.

1.13    Amendment to Section 12(b). Section 12(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

With respect to any of the foregoing, if Retailer seeks Bank’s consent to finance such products under the Program, Retailer agrees to review with Bank its offering of and procedures concerning the sale and fulfillment of such products. Retailer will not finance on Accounts any extended warranties or services contracts unless (i) Retailer notifies Bank in advance of its intent to finance any of those products, and (ii) the performance of the extended warranty or service contract, as applicable, is insured by a third-party insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of B+ or higher or Bank otherwise consents to the financing of the products. Even where approved by Bank, Retailer shall be responsible for ensuring that any extended warranties, service contracts, gift certificates, cash cards or stored value cards fully comply with all applicable laws.
