NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Description of Business
FTD Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “FTD” or the “Company”), is a premier floral and gifting company with a vision to be the world’s floral innovator and leader, creating products, brands, and technology-driven services its customers love. The Company provides floral, specialty foods, gift and related products and services to consumers, retail florists, and other retail locations and companies in need of floral and gifting solutions. The business uses the highly recognized FTD ® and Interflora ® brands, both supported by the iconic Mercury Man ® logo. While the Company operates primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), it has worldwide presence as its Mercury Man logo is displayed in approximately 35,000 floral shops in over 125 countries. The Company’s diversified portfolio of brands also includes ProFlowers ® , ProPlants ® , Shari’s Berries ® , Personal Creations ® , RedEnvelope ® , Flying Flowers ® , Ink Cards , Postagram , Gifts.com , and BloomThat . While floral arrangements and plants are its primary offerings, the Company also markets and sells gift items, including gourmet-dipped berries and other sweets, personalized gifts, gift baskets, wine and champagne, and jewelry.
The principal operating subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. are Florists’ Transworld Delivery, Inc., FTD.COM Inc. (“FTD.com”), Interflora British Unit (“Interflora”), and Provide Commerce, Inc. (“Provide Commerce”). The operations of the Company include those of its subsidiary, Interflora, Inc., of which one-third is owned by a third party. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The Company also maintains offices in San Diego and San Francisco, California; Woodridge, Illinois; Centerbrook, Connecticut; Sleaford, England; Quebec, Canada; and Hyderabad, India; and distribution centers in various locations throughout the U.S.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make accounting policy elections, estimates and assumptions that affect a number of reported amounts and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Based on the Company’s 2018 year-to-date results of operations and outlook for 2018, as the Company works to implement its strategic plan announced in January 2018, the Company currently anticipates that its Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) and other sources of earnings or adjustments used to calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA under its credit agreement entered into in 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) will result in (1) the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeding the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio during 2018, and (2) the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, falling below the minimum requirement during 2018. In addition, the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents                         
FTD COMPANIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with its lenders, which includes an agreement by the lenders to forbear from exercising remedies available to them until May 31, 2018 with respect to defaults caused by (1) the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (2) potential breach of the consolidated net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. If the Company is unable to obtain waivers or amendments from its lenders beyond the forbearance period, the lenders could exercise remedies under the Credit Agreement and the debt owed under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated. The Company does not expect that it could repay all of its outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness was accelerated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company did not comply with the net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company entering into an amendment to its current financing which has revised covenants or obtaining financing to replace the current facility, as well as generating profitable operating results, continuing to meet its obligations, and continuing to repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company has evaluated its plans to alleviate this doubt, which will include obtaining amended terms from its current lenders to allow for sufficient flexibility in the financial covenants after giving consideration to the Company’s current operations and strategic plans, or refinancing its current debt. Negotiations with our lenders may require the Company to raise additional capital and/or pursue the sale of non-core assets to reduce existing debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans to refinance or to obtain alternative financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all. If such plans are not realized, the Company may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Accounting Policies
With the exception of the Company’s revenue recognition policy as noted below, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, as updated below for recently adopted accounting standards.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”),  Revenue from Contracts with Customers  effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. This method requires that the cumulative effect of the initial application is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018. However, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s revenue recognition. As such, the Company did not record an adjustment to its beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
The Company recognizes revenue from short-term contracts for the sale of various products and services to its customers, which include consumers, floral network members, and wholesale customers. Sales to consumers are generated via the Company’s websites, mobile sites, or over the telephone with payment made either at the time the order is placed or upon shipment. Product revenues from these short-term contracts are single performance obligations and are considered complete upon delivery to the recipient. Amounts collected from customers upon placement of an order are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized upon delivery of the product. Products revenues, less discounts and refunds, and the related cost of revenues are recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the recipient, which is generally upon delivery. Product sales are not refundable other than as related to customer service issues. Shipping and service fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the related products revenues are recognized and are included in products revenues. Shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues. Sales taxes are collected from customers and remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities and are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as revenues.
The Company generally recognizes revenues for sales to consumers on a gross basis because the Company controls the goods before they are transferred to the recipient as the Company (i) bears primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to the customer; (ii) bears inventory risk before and/or after the good or service is transferred to the customer; and (iii) has discretion in establishing the price for the sale of good or service to the customer.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


Services revenues related to orders sent through the floral network are variable based on either the number of orders or the value of orders and are recognized in the period in which the orders are delivered. Membership and other subscription-based fees are recognized monthly as earned, on a month-to-month basis. Each service offered by the Company is separate and distinct from other services and represents an individual performance obligation.
The Company also sells point-of-sale systems and related technology services to its floral network members and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. For hardware sales that include software, revenues are recognized when delivery, installation and customer acceptance have all occurred. The transaction price for point-of-sale systems is based on the equipment and the software modules ordered by the customer and include installation and training for the system. The sale of the system is considered a single performance obligation since the installation and training are a significant part of the sale in order for the floral network member to access the clearinghouse to send and receive floral orders. The Company recognizes revenues on hardware which is sold without software at the time of delivery.    
Probability of collection for both products and services revenue is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If it is determined that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenues are not recognized until collectability becomes reasonably assured.
The Company incurs contract costs that are incremental costs incurred for obtaining a contract. These contract costs are short-term (less than a year) and are expensed as incurred based on the practical expedient provided in ASC 606. As such, the Company does not capitalize costs incurred for obtaining a contract.    
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 , which provides guidance from the SEC allowing for the recognition of provisional amounts in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) that was signed into law in December 2017. The guidance allows for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date to finalize the accounting related to the TCJA. The Company has applied the guidance in this update in its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and will finalize and record any adjustments related to the TCJA within the one year measurement period.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, respectively (collectively, “Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. See Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition above. The disclosures required by ASC 606 have been included in Note 2—Segment Information.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, and includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.  
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update was issued to address the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . This update was issued to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to the modification of terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards would require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.  
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This update requires the recognition of certain lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU require the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients which may be elected by the Company. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . This update seeks to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments require an entity to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which guidance is effective, which is a modified-retrospective approach. The Company does not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . This update seeks to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, this ASU requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing of adoption and the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This update allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. This update also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports its business in three reportable segments: U.S. Consumer, Florist, and International. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company reported its business in four reportable segments. As a result of a change in the information provided to and utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker) to assess the performance of the business, the Company combined the previous Provide Commerce and Consumer segments into one reportable segment. There have been no changes to the Company's reporting units, which remain FTD.com (previously referred to as Consumer), Florist, International, ProFlowers/Gourmet Foods, and Personal Creations.
The Company follows the reporting requirements of ASC 280, Segment Reporting . Management measures and reviews the Company’s operating results by segment in accordance with the “management approach” defined in ASC 280. The reportable segments identified below were the segments of the Company for which separate financial information was available and for which segment results were regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about the allocation of resources and to assess performance. The CODM uses segment operating income to evaluate the performance of the business segments and make decisions about allocating resources among segments. Segment operating income is operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, litigation and dispute settlement charges or gains, transaction-related costs, restructuring and other exit costs, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Stock-based and incentive compensation and general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. Segment operating income is prior to intersegment eliminations and excludes other expense, net.

6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Credit Agreement
On September 19, 2014, FTD Companies, Inc. entered into its Credit Agreement with Interflora, certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and book managers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders. The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million , the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of outstanding revolving loans, and also provided for a $350 million revolving credit facility. On December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $120 million under the revolving credit facility to fund the cash portion of the acquisition purchase price of Provide Commerce.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of FTD Companies, Inc.’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (together with FTD Companies, Inc., the “U.S. Loan Parties”). In addition, the obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the U.S. Loan Parties, including a pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of certain direct subsidiaries of the U.S. Loan Parties (except with respect to foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries whose assets consist primarily of foreign subsidiary equity interests, in which case such pledge is limited to 66% of the outstanding capital stock).

FTD COMPANIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


Except as described below, the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement are based on either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% per annum to 2.50% per annum, or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.50% per annum, calculated according to the Company’s net leverage ratio. In addition, under the Credit Agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, that, among other things, require the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and impose restrictions and limitations on, among other things, investments, dividends, share repurchases, asset sales, and the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and additional liens.
Based on the Company’s 2018 year-to-date results of operations and outlook for 2018, as the Company works to implement its strategic plan announced in January 2018, the Company currently anticipates that its Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and other sources of earnings or adjustments used to calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA under the Credit Agreement will result in (1) the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeding the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio during 2018, and (2) the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, falling below the minimum requirement during 2018. In addition, the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement.
On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with its lenders, which includes an agreement by the lenders to forbear from exercising remedies available to them until May 31, 2018 with respect to defaults caused by (1) the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (2) potential breach of the consolidated net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. If the Company is unable to obtain waivers or amendments from its lenders beyond the forbearance period, the lenders could exercise remedies under the Credit Agreement and the debt owed under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company did not comply with the net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Under the Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, borrowings under the revolver are limited to $150 million . During the forbearance period, the interest rate margin applicable to Eurocurrency borrowings and letter of credit fees is increased to 4.25% per annum and the interest rate margin for base rate borrowings is increased to 3.25% . In addition, the Company paid a forbearance fee of 0.125% and will pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility during the forbearance period. The terms of the Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement also include restrictions on, among others, future indebtedness and investments during the forbearance period.
The stated interest rates (based on LIBOR ) as of March 31, 2018 under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 6.55% and 6.06% , respectively. The effective interest rates as of March 31, 2018 under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 7.87% and 8.08% , respectively. The effective interest rates include the amortization of both the debt issuance costs and the effective portion of the interest rate swap and commitment fees. The commitment fee rate as of March 31, 2018 was 0.50% .
At March 31, 2018 , the remaining borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, which was reduced by $1.8 million in outstanding letters of credit, was $86.2 million , based on the terms of the Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In March 2012, the Company purchased, for $1.9 million , forward starting interest rate cap instruments based on 3-month LIBOR, effective January 2015 through June 2018. The forward starting interest rate cap instruments have aggregated notional values totaling $130 million . The interest rate cap instruments are designated as cash flow hedges against expected future cash flows attributable to future 3-month LIBOR interest payments on a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The gains or losses on the instruments are reported in other comprehensive income/(loss) to the extent that they are effective and are reclassified into earnings when the cash flows attributable to 3-month LIBOR interest payments are recognized in earnings.
The estimated fair values and notional values of outstanding derivative instruments as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

Provide Commerce, Inc. has an executive deferred compensation plan for key management level employees under which such employees could elect to defer receipt of current compensation. This plan is intended to be an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. At the time of the acquisition of Provide Commerce, contributions to the plan were suspended except those relating to any compensation earned but not yet paid as of the same date. The plan assets, which consist primarily of life insurance contracts recorded at their cash surrender value, were $11.7 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , and are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, as a result of the triggering events in the third and fourth quarters, the Company also performed impairment tests of its intangible and other long-lived assets. Based on these tests, the Company determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets and fixed assets exceeded their fair values as determined using the income approach. As such, non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges of $103.6 million (excluding goodwill impairment charges of $196.7 million ) were recorded. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, impairment charges of $2.4 million were recorded related to capital additions for the ProFlowers/Gourmet Foods reporting unit as the fixed assets of that reporting unit were fully impaired in 2017 and its undiscounted cash flows continue to be less than the carrying amount of such assets. The determination of fair value is subjective in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, considered to be Level 3 inputs, including projected cash flows over the estimated projection period and the discount rate. See Note 5—“Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Other Long-Lived Assets” for additional information.
The Company estimated the fair value of its long-term debt using a discounted cash flow approach that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration and risk profile. In determining the market interest yield curve, the Company considered, among other factors, its estimated credit spread. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company estimated its credit spread as 1.3% and 1.9% for the term loan and revolving credit facility, respectively, resulting in yield-to-maturity estimates for the term loan and revolving credit facility of 3.5% and 4.1% , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company estimated its credit spread as 1.0% and 1.6% for the term loan and revolving credit facility, respectively, resulting in yield-to-maturity estimates for the term loan and revolving credit facility of 2.9% and 3.4% , respectively. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values for long-term debt (in thousands):

Fair value approximates the carrying amount of financing receivables because such receivables are discounted at a rate comparable to market. Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchases
On March 8, 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the “2016 Repurchase Program”) that allowed FTD Companies, Inc. to repurchase up to $60 million of its common stock from time to time over a two -year period in both open market and privately negotiated transactions. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The 2016 Repurchase Program expired on March 8, 2018.
Upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or other equity compensation awards, the Company does not collect withholding taxes in cash from employees. Instead, the Company automatically withholds, from the awards that vest or stock options that are exercised, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock but are not counted against the limits under a repurchase program. The Company then pays the minimum statutory withholding taxes in cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , 0.2 million RSUs vested for which 0.1 million shares were withheld to cover the minimum statutory withholding taxes of $0.5 million .
10. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS
In June 2017, stockholders approved the FTD Companies, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (as so amended and restated, the “Amended Plan”), which amended and restated in its entirety the FTD Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan, as previously amended June 9, 2015. The Amended Plan provides for the granting of awards to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock based awards. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had 1.4 million shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company granted RSUs, performance stock units (“PSUs”), and stock options to certain employees totaling 0.7 million shares, 1.3 million shares, and 0.8 million shares, respectively. The RSUs and stock options granted will generally vest in four equal annual installments. The fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the RSUs and PSUs was $6.65 per share. The options were granted with an exercise price of $6.65 per share. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the stock options at the grant date:
Risk-free interest rate
2.5%
Expected term (in years)
4.75 to 6.25
Dividend yield
0.0%
Expected volatility
37.7%
Vesting of the PSUs is based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, as specified in the plan, at the end of a three -year performance period ending on December 31, 2020. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest is dependent upon the level of achievement of the performance conditions. If the minimum targets are not achieved, none of the shares will vest and any compensation expense previously recognized will be reversed. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to performance awards based upon the Company’s estimate of the likelihood of achievement of the performance targets at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2018, the Company expected 39.2% of the PSUs to vest. As such, $0.1 million of expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to these awards.
In addition to the equity awards noted above, eligible employees of the Company are able to participate in the FTD Companies, Inc. 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP Plan”) through which employees may purchase shares of FTD common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing market price per share of FTD common stock on the first day of the offering period or (ii) the closing market price per share of FTD common stock on the purchase date. Each offering period has a six-month duration and purchase interval. The purchase dates are January 1 and July 1. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had 0.3 million shares available for grant under the ESPP Plan.

11. INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.3 million on a pre-tax loss of $6.9 million , compared to a tax provision of $6.5 million on pre-tax income of $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Shortfalls related to vesting of equity awards increased tax expense by $2.3 million compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 .
12. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Certain of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs are considered participating securities because they contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether dividends are actually declared or paid or whether the awards ultimately vest. Accordingly, the Company computes earnings/(loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

14. CONTINGENCIES—LEGAL MATTERS
 Commencing on August 19, 2009, the first of a series of putative consumer class action lawsuits was brought against Provide Commerce, Inc. and co-defendant Regent Group, Inc. d/b/a Encore Marketing International (“EMI”). These cases were ultimately consolidated during the next three years into Case No. 09 CV 2094 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California under the title In re EasySaver Rewards Litigation . Plaintiffs’ claims arise from their online enrollment in subscription based membership programs known as EasySaver Rewards, RedEnvelope Rewards, and Preferred Buyers Pass (collectively, the “Membership Programs”). Plaintiffs claim that after they ordered items from certain of Provide Commerce’s websites, they were presented with an offer to enroll in one of the Membership Programs, each of which is offered and administered by EMI. Plaintiffs purport to represent a nationwide class of consumers allegedly damaged by Provide Commerce’s purported unauthorized or otherwise allegedly improper transferring of billing information to EMI, who then posted allegedly unauthorized charges to their credit or debit card accounts for membership fees for the Membership Programs. In the operative fourth amended complaint, plaintiffs asserted ten claims against Provide Commerce and EMI: (1) breach of contract (against Provide Commerce only); (2) breach of contract (against EMI only); (3) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) fraud; (5) violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act; (6) unjust enrichment; (7) violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (against EMI only); (8) invasion of privacy; (9) negligence; and (10) violations of the Unfair Competition Law. Plaintiffs seek damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. After motion practice regarding the claims asserted and numerous settlement conferences and mediations in an effort to informally resolve the matter, the parties reached an agreement on the high level terms of a settlement on April 9, 2012, conditioned on the parties negotiating and executing a complete written agreement. In the weeks following April 9, 2012, the parties negotiated a formal written settlement agreement (the “Settlement”), which the court preliminarily approved on June 13, 2012. After notice to the purported class and briefing by the parties, the court conducted a final approval hearing (also known as a fairness hearing) on January 28, 2013, but did not rule. On February 4, 2013, the court entered its final order approving the Settlement, granting plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees, costs, and incentive awards, and overruling objections filed by a single objector. The court entered judgment on the Settlement on February 21, 2013. The objector filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 4, 2013. After the completion of briefing, the Ninth Circuit set oral argument for February 2, 2015. But on January 29, 2015, the Ninth Circuit entered an order deferring argument and resolution of the appeal pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision in a matter captioned Frank v .   Netflix , No. 12 15705+. On March 19, 2015, the Ninth Circuit entered an order vacating the judgment in this matter and remanding it to the district court for further proceedings consistent with its opinion in Frank v.   Netflix issued on February 27, 2015. The district court ordered supplemental briefing on the issue of final Settlement approval May 21, 2015. After briefing, the district court conducted a hearing on July 27, 2016 and took the matter under submission. On August 9, 2016, the district court entered an order reapproving the Settlement without any changes, and accordingly entered judgment and dismissed the case with prejudice. On September 6, 2016, the objector filed a notice of appeal. On November 22, 2016, plaintiffs filed a motion for summary affirmance of the district court’s judgment, to which the objector responded and filed a cross-motion for sanctions. Plaintiffs’ motion for summary affirmance temporarily stayed briefing on the appeal. On March 2, 2017, the Ninth Circuit denied plaintiffs’ motion for summary affirmance and objector’s cross-motion for sanctions, and reset the briefing schedule. The Objector filed his opening brief on May 1, 2017. Thirteen state Attorneys General filed an amicus brief in support of the Objector on May 8, 2017. The parties filed their answering briefs on June 30, 2017. Various legal aid organizations filed an amicus brief in support of no party regarding cy pres relief also on June 30, 2017. The Objector’s optional reply brief was filed on August 14, 2017. The Ninth Circuit has calendared oral arguments for May 17, 2018.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


There are no assurances that other legal actions or governmental investigations will not be instituted in connection with the Company’s current or former business practices. The Company cannot predict the outcome of governmental investigations or other legal actions or their potential implications for its business.
The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the assessment of the probability of loss or the amount of liability and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements, (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved, and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. As of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had reserves totaling $2.5 million for estimated losses related to certain legal matters. With respect to other legal matters, the Company has determined, based on its current knowledge, that the amount of possible loss or range of loss, including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
FTD Companies, Inc.  (which together with its subsidiaries may be referred to herein as the “Company,” “FTD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a premier floral and gifting company with a vision to be the world’s floral innovator and leader, creating products, brands, and technology-driven services our customers love. We provide floral, specialty foods, gift, and related products and services to consumers, retail florists, and other retail locations and companies in need of floral and gifting solutions. Our business uses the highly recognized FTD ® and Interflora ® brands, both supported by the iconic Mercury Man ® logo. While we operate primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), we have worldwide presence as our Mercury Man logo is displayed in approximately 35,000 floral shops in over 125 countries. Our diversified portfolio of brands also includes ProFlowers ® , ProPlants ® , Shari’s Berries ® , Personal Creations ® , RedEnvelope ® , Flying Flowers ® , Ink Cards™, Postagram™, Gifts.com™, and BloomThat™. While floral arrangements and plants are our primary offerings, we also market and sell gift items, including gourmet-dipped berries and other sweets, personalized gifts, gift baskets, wine and champagne, and jewelry.
Reportable Segments
We report our business operations in three reportable segments: U.S. Consumer, Florist, and International. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company reported its business in four reportable segments. As a result of a change in the information provided to and utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker) to assess the performance of the business, the Company combined the previous Provide Commerce and Consumer segments into one reportable segment.
Through our U.S. Consumer segment, we are a leading direct marketer of floral and gift products for consumers, including food gifts, personalized gifts, and other gifting products, primarily in the U.S. Our U.S. Consumer segment operates primarily through our www.ftd.com, www.proflowers.com, www.berries.com , www.personalcreations.com, www.proplants.com, www.gifts.com, and www.bloomthat.com websites, associated mobile sites and applications, and the 1-800-SEND-FTD and various other telephone numbers. Through our Florist segment, we are a leading provider of products and services to our floral network members, including services that enable our floral network members to send, receive, and deliver floral orders. Floral network members include traditional retail florists, as well as other non-florist retail locations, primarily in the U.S. Our Florist segment also provides products and services to other companies in need of floral and gifting solutions. Our International segment consists of Interflora, which operates primarily in the U.K. Interflora is a leading direct marketer of floral and gift products, and operates primarily through the www.interflora.co.uk, www.flyingflowers.co.uk, and www.interflora.ie websites, associated mobile sites and applications, and various telephone numbers. Interflora also provides products and services to floral network members and to other companies in need of floral and gifting solutions.
KEY BUSINESS METRICS
We review a number of key business metrics to help us monitor our performance and trends affecting our segments, and to develop forecasts and budgets. These key metrics include the following:
Segment operating income.  Our Chief Operating Decision Maker uses segment operating income to evaluate the performance of our business segments and to make decisions about allocating resources among segments. Segment operating income is operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, litigation and dispute settlement charges and gains, transaction and integration costs, restructuring and other exit costs, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. In addition, stock-based and incentive compensation and general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. Segment operating income is prior to intersegment eliminations and excludes other income/(expense), net. See Note 2—“Segment Information” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated operating income and consolidated income before income taxes.
Consumer orders.  We monitor the number of consumer orders for floral, gift, and related products during a given period. Consumer orders are individual units delivered during the period that were originated through our consumer websites, associated mobile sites and applications, and various telephone numbers. The number of consumer orders is not adjusted for non-delivered orders that are refunded on or after the scheduled delivery date. Orders originating with a florist or other retail location for delivery to consumers are not included as part of this number.

26

Table of Contents         
                        

Average order value.  We monitor the average value for consumer orders delivered in a given period, which we refer to as the average order value. Average order value represents the average amount received for consumer orders delivered during a period. The average order value of consumer orders within our U.S. Consumer and International segments is tracked in their local currency, which is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) for the U.S. Consumer segment and the British Pound (“GBP”) for the International segment. The local currency amounts received for the International segment are then translated into USD at the average currency exchange rate for the period. Average order value includes merchandise revenues and shipping or service fees paid by the consumer, less discounts and refunds (net of refund-related fees charged to floral network members).
Average revenues per member.  We monitor average revenues per member for our floral network members in the Florist segment. Average revenues per member represents the average revenues earned from a member of our floral network during a period. Revenues include services revenues and products revenues, but exclude revenues from sales to non-members. Floral network members include our retail florists and other non-florist retail locations who offer floral and gifting solutions. Average revenues per member is calculated by dividing Florist segment revenues for the period, excluding sales to non-members, by the average number of floral network members for the period.
The table below sets forth, for the periods presented, our consolidated revenues, segment revenues, segment operating income, consumer orders, average order values, average revenues per member, and average currency exchange rates.

Consolidated General and Administrative
Consolidated general and administrative expenses decrease d $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in depreciation expense, a $1.8 million decrease in personnel-related costs, and $0.8 million decrease in transaction and integration costs. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in professional fees and $0.3 million in legal expenses.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense related to intangible assets decrease d $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 as certain intangible assets were impaired during the year ended December 31, 2017.
Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
The Company did not incur any restructuring and other exit costs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 during which $0.8 million of such costs were incurred.

Shortfalls related to the vesting of equity awards increased tax expense by $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

U.S. Consumer Segment Revenues
U.S. Consumer segment revenues decrease d $5.3 million , or 2% , for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 , driven by a 3% decrease in average order value partially offset by a 1% increase in order volume. The decrease in average order value was primarily due to planned reductions in service fees and an increase in refunds, in addition to an increase in orders through the FTD.com Gold Program, which is our consumer membership program that offers reduced service and shipping fees. The increase in order volume was primarily driven by the Easter holiday shift. Revenues decreased 12%, 2%, and 2% for the ProFlowers, Gourmet Foods, and FTD.com businesses, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Partially offsetting these decreases, was a 58% increase in revenues for the Personal Creations reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the 2017 period.
U.S. Consumer Segment Operating Income
U.S. Consumer segment operating income decrease d $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The gross margin for the U.S. Consumer segment decreased to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to the reduced pricing noted above and increased inventory write-offs from lower than anticipated Valentine’s Day orders. Sales and marketing expenses increase d $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to new media-based marketing and an increase in variable marketing spend. U.S. Consumer segment operating margin was (4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

Florist Segment Revenues
Florist segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decrease d $2.3 million , or 5% , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The decline is primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in products revenues related to a planned reduction in container offerings and related pricing, partially offset by an increase in fresh flower sales. Services revenue declined $0.9 million primarily due to declines in online services and support fees. Average revenues per member increased 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 , primarily due to a decline in floral network membership during the three months ended March 31, 2018 .
Florist Segment Operating Income
Florist segment operating income decrease d $1.7 million , or 12% , for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The gross margin for the Florist segment decreased to 64% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to unfavorable product and services mix. Sales and marketing expenses decrease d $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to fewer incentives paid to member florists. The Florist segment operating margin was 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

International segment operating income increase d $1.5 million , or 28% , ( $0.7 million , or 13% , in constant currency) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The gross margin for the International segment decreased to 29% for three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Sales and marketing expenses increase d $0.7 million (stable in constant currency) due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. General and administrative expenses decrease d $0.3 million ( $0.6 million in constant currency) primarily due to personnel-related costs partially offset by an increase in technology costs.

Unallocated expenses include various corporate costs, such as executive management, corporate finance, and legal costs. In addition, unallocated expenses include stock-based and incentive compensation, restructuring and other exit costs, transaction and integration costs, and litigation and dispute settlement charges and gains.
Unallocated expenses decreased $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 . This decrease was primarily due to $2.6 million in personnel-related expenses and $0.8 million in transaction and integration costs. In addition, we did not incur restructuring costs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0.8 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . These decreases were partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in legal, audit, and consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 .
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Agreement
On September 19, 2014, FTD Companies, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Interflora British Unit, certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and book managers, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million , the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of outstanding revolving loans and also provided for a $350 million revolving credit facility. On December 31, 2014, we borrowed $120 million under the revolving credit facility to fund the cash portion of the Provide Commerce purchase price.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the U.S. Loan Parties. In addition, the obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the U.S. Loan Parties, including a pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of certain direct subsidiaries of the U.S. Loan Parties (except with respect to foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries whose assets consist primarily of foreign subsidiary equity interests, in which case such pledge is limited to 66% of the outstanding capital stock).
The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement are based on either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% per annum to 2.50% per annum, or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.50% per annum, calculated according to the Company’s net leverage ratio. In addition, under the Credit Agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, that, among other things, require the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and impose restrictions and limitations on, among other things, investments, dividends, share repurchases, asset sales, and the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and additional liens.
Based on our 2018 year-to-date results of operations and outlook for 2018, as we work to implement our strategic plan announced in January 2018, we currently anticipate that our Adjusted EBITDA and other sources of earnings or adjustments used to calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA under the Credit Agreement will result in (1) our consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeding the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio during 2018, and (2) our fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, falling below the minimum requirement during 2018. In addition, the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

33

Table of Contents         
                        

On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with our lenders that includes an agreement by the lenders to forbear from exercising remedies available to them until May 31, 2018 with respect to defaults caused by (1) the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (2) potential breach of the consolidated net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ending March 31, 2018. If the Company is unable to obtain waivers or amendments from its lenders beyond the forbearance period, the lenders could exercise remedies under the Credit Agreement and the debt owed under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated. We do not expect that we could repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness was accelerated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company did not comply with the net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Under the Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, borrowings under the revolver are limited to $150 million. During the forbearance period, the interest rate margin applicable to Eurocurrency borrowings and letter of credit fees is increased to 4.25% per annum and the interest rate margin for base rate borrowings is increased to 3.25%. In addition, the Company paid a forbearance fee of 0.125% and will pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility during the forbearance period.
The stated interest rates (based on LIBOR) as of March 31, 2018 under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 6.55% and 6.06% , respectively. The effective interest rates as of March 31, 2018 under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 7.87% and 8.08% , respectively. The effective interest rates include the amortization of both the debt issuance costs and the effective portion of the interest rate swap and commitment fees. The commitment fee rate as of March 31, 2018 was 0.50% .
The term loan is subject to amortization payments of $5 million per quarter and customary mandatory prepayments under certain conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company made scheduled payments of $5 million under the term loan. The Company had net borrowings of $10 million on the revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The outstanding balance of the term loan and all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due upon maturity in September 2019. As of March 31, 2018 , the remaining borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, which was reduced by $1.8 million in outstanding letters of credit, was $86.2 million , based on the terms of the forbearance agreement.
The degree to which our assets are leveraged and the terms of our debt could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital, as well as the terms at which such capital might be offered to us.
Going Concern
As described above, the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company entering into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, including revised covenants, or obtaining financing to replace the current facility, as well as generating profitable operating results, continuing to meet its obligations, and continuing to repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company has evaluated its plans to alleviate this doubt, which will include obtaining amended terms from its current lenders to allow for sufficient flexibility in the financial covenants after giving consideration to the Company’s current operations and strategic plans, or refinancing its current debt. Negotiations with our lenders may require the Company to raise additional capital and/or pursue the sale of non-core assets to reduce existing debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans to refinance, to obtain alternative financing on acceptable terms or to sell non-strategic assets, when required or if at all. If such plans are not realized, the Company may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could severely constrain or prevent us from, among other factors, developing new or enhancing existing services or products, acquiring other services, businesses, or technologies, or funding significant capital expenditures and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as impair our ability to service our debt obligations. If additional funds were raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage of stock owned by the then-current stockholders could be reduced. Furthermore, such equity or any debt securities that we issue might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to holders of our common stock. In addition, trends in the securities and credit markets may restrict our ability to raise any such additional funds, at least in the near term.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
Our total cash and cash equivalents balance decrease d by $3.9 million to $25.6 million as of March 31, 2018 , compared to $29.5 million as of December 31, 2017 . Our summary cash flows for the periods presented were as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to net income of $9.0 million for the comparable 2017 period and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $5.5 million . Changes in working capital can cause variations in our cash flows used for operating activities due to seasonality, timing, and other factors. In addition, non-cash items, which include but are not limited to depreciation and amortization, impairment of assets, stock-based compensation, deferred taxes, and provision for doubtful accounts receivable, decreased $4.1 million .
Net cash used for investing activities increase d $3.9 million due to increased purchases of property and equipment primarily related to strategic initiatives. Purchases of property and equipment totaled $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . We currently anticipate total capital expenditures for 2018 between $35 and $40 million. The actual amount of future capital expenditures may fluctuate due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, capital expenditures related to potential future acquisitions and new business initiatives, which are difficult to predict and which could change significantly over time. Additionally, we may choose to invest in technological advances in support of our business initiatives or make capital expenditures to develop or acquire new equipment or technology in order to replace aging or technologically obsolete equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $55.7 million primarily due to net proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement totaling $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the net repayment of $50.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . In addition, repurchases of common stock under share repurchase programs decreased by $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 .    
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a lease for office space in Chicago, Illinois for our new corporate headquarters. The lease expires in 2030 with future contractual obligations totaling $17.0 million over the term of the agreement. There have been no other material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, related to the Company’s contractual obligations or other commitments as disclosed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the " Agreement ") is made and entered into as of December 8, 2017, by and between FTD Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), with principal corporate offices at 3113 Woodcreek Drive, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, and Steven D. Barnhart, whose address is 3113 Woodcreek Drive, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515 (" Employee ").
WHEREAS , effective as of the date hereof, Employee and the Company desire to enter into an employment agreement.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term; Position.

(a) The term of this Agreement will commence on January 8, 2018 (the " Effective Date ") and continue until this Agreement is terminated as provided herein (the " Term ").

(b) Employee will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective as of the Effective Date and report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee agrees to devote Employee's full-time attention, skill and efforts to the performance of Employee's duties for the Company (it being understood that Employee may continue to serve as a member of the board of directors of USA Technologies, Inc. and as a member of the board of advisors of Advisory Research, Inc.).

2.
Salary and Benefits.

(a) Employee will be paid a salary at an annualized rate of $475,000, payable in successive bi-weekly or other installments in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices for salaried employees. Employee's rate of salary will be subject to such increases as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As used in this Agreement, the term " Board of Directors " shall refer to the Board of Directors of the Company or other governing body or committee to which the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to executive compensation matters has been delegated, including (without limitation) the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Employee will be eligible to participate in each of the Company's employee benefit plans that is made generally available either to the Company's employees or to the Company's senior executives and for which Employee satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements. Employee will be entitled to a minimum of four (4) weeks of paid vacation each year or such greater amount as determined in accordance with the Company's standard vacation policy.

(c) The Company will promptly reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary business expenses Employee incurs in connection with the business of the Company and the performance of Employee's duties hereunder upon Employee's submission of reasonable and timely documentation of those expenses. In no event shall any expense be reimbursed later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which that expense is incurred, and the amounts reimbursed in any one calendar year shall not affect the amounts reimbursable in any other calendar year. Employee's right to receive such reimbursements may not be exchanged or liquidated for any other benefit.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall grant to Employee (i) 25,000 restricted stock units relating to Company common




stock (the " RSUs ") , (ii) 40,000 performance stock units relating to Company common stock (with 20,000 units based upon Company Revenue and 20,000 units based upon Company Ebitda or similar targets) (the " PSUs ") and (ii) 125,000 options to purchase shares of Company common stock (the " Options ") . The RSUs and Options shall vest at the rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. The PSUs shall vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant (subject to achievement of the applicable target). Such equity grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s standard issuance agreements and the applicable stock incentive plan. The grant shall be made effective as of the third trading day after the Company announces its strategic plan to the public (currently contemplated for mid-January 2018).

3.
Bonus.
For each fiscal year of the Company during the Term of this Agreement, Employee will be eligible to participate in a bonus program with a target bonus set by the Board of Directors in an amount of 100% of Employee's annual rate of base salary. The performance criteria for purposes of determining Employee's actual bonus for each fiscal year will be established by the Board of Directors, and Employee's annual bonus for one or more of those fiscal years may be increased to include any additional amounts approved by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or set forth herein, Employee will not be entitled to a bonus payment for any fiscal year unless Employee is employed by, and in good standing with, the Company at the time such bonus payment is paid. Employee's bonus payment for each fiscal year shall in no event be paid later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company's fiscal year for which such bonus is earned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the bonus paid to Employee with respect to the Company’s 2018 fiscal year is less than 50% of Employee’s annual earned base salary for such fiscal year (prorated for the period of time employed during such year) then the Company shall make an additional payment to Employee with respect to such bonus so that the amount of the bonus paid to Employee equals 50% of Employee’s annual earned base salary for such fiscal year (prorated for the period of time employed during such year).

4.
Restricted Stock Units and Other Equity Awards.

(a) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company "without cause" or by Employee for "good reason" (as each term is defined below) during the Term, then upon Employee's satisfaction of the Release Condition set forth in Section 7(b) below, any and all equity awards Employee holds on the date of such termination (other than (i) any equity award that expressly provides for more favorable treatment and (ii) the PSUs which shall be subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the applicable PSU award agreement) will vest on an accelerated basis as to that number of additional shares in which Employee would have otherwise been vested at the time of such termination had Employee completed an additional twelve (12) months of employment with the Company and had each applicable equity award been structured so as to vest in successive equal monthly installments over the vesting schedule for that award. In no event will the number of additional shares which vest on such an accelerated basis with respect to any particular equity award exceed the number of shares unvested under that award immediately prior to the date of such termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the agreement evidencing a particular restricted stock unit or other equity award or to the extent another issuance date may be required to comply with any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code "), the shares of the common stock of the Company (" Common Stock ") underlying the equity awards that vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with this Section 4(a) will be issued to Employee within the sixty (60)-day period following the date of Employee's "separation from service" (as defined below) as a result of Employee's termination "without cause" (as defined below) or Employee's resignation for "good reason" (as defined below), provided the Release required of Employee pursuant to Section 7(b) has become effective and enforceable in accordance with its terms following the expiration of the applicable revocation period in effect for that Release. However, should such sixty (60)-day period span two taxable years, the issuance shall be effected during the portion of that period that occurs in the second taxable year.

2



(b) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company "without cause" or by Employee for "good reason" (as each term is defined below) at any time during the Term and within the period commencing with the execution by the Company of a definitive agreement for a Change in Control (as defined below) and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of that agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the twelve (12) month period measured from the date such Change in Control occurs, then upon Employee's satisfaction of the Release Condition set forth in Section 7(b) below, any and all equity awards Employee holds on the date of such termination (other than the PSUs which shall be subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the applicable PSU award agreement) will fully vest on an accelerated basis with respect to all non-vested shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those awards. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the agreement evidencing a particular restricted stock unit or other equity award or to the extent another issuance date may be required in order to comply with any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the shares of Common Stock (or any replacement securities) underlying the equity awards that fully vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with this Section 4(b), or the proceeds of any cash retention program established in replacement of those shares pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, will be issued or distributed to Employee within the sixty (60)-day period following the date of Employee's "separation from service" (as defined below) as a result of Employee's termination "without cause" (as defined below) or Employee's resignation for "good reason" (as defined below), provided the Release required of Employee pursuant to Section 7(b) has become effective and enforceable in accordance with its terms following the expiration of the applicable revocation period in effect for that Release. However, should such sixty (60)-day period span two taxable years, the issuance shall be effected during the portion of that period that occurs in the second taxable year.

(c) Upon Employee's "separation from service" (as defined below) as a result of Employee's death or Disability (as defined below), any and all equity awards Employee holds on the date of such separation from service (other than the PSUs which shall be subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the applicable PSU award agreement) will vest on an accelerated basis as to that number of additional shares in which Employee would have otherwise been vested on the date of such separation from service had Employee completed an additional twelve (12) months of employment with the Company and had each applicable equity award been structured so as to vest in successive equal monthly installments over the vesting schedule for that award. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the agreement evidencing a particular restricted stock unit or other equity award or to the extent another issuance date may be required in order to comply with any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the shares of Common Stock underlying the equity awards that vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with this Section 4(c) will be issued on the date of such separation from service or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year in which such separation from service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such separation from service. For purposes of this Agreement, " Disability " means Employee's inability to engage in any substantial activity necessary to perform Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

(d) The vesting acceleration provisions of this Section 4 and Section 7 will apply to all outstanding equity awards held by Employee on the Effective Date, unless the agreements evidencing those awards provide for more favorable acceleration (other than the PSUs which shall be subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the applicable PSU award agreement), and those agreements (other than the PSU award agreements), to the extent they provide for a lesser amount of acceleration, are hereby amended to incorporate the acceleration provisions of Section 4 and Section 7 of this Agreement for the period this Agreement remains in effect, and such vesting acceleration provisions will also apply to equity awards made after the Effective Date of this Agreement unless the agreements evidencing these awards provide for more favorable acceleration (other than the PSUs which shall be subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the applicable PSU award agreement). The shares subject to each equity award that vests pursuant to the vesting acceleration provisions of this Section 4 shall be issued in accordance with the applicable

3



issuance date provisions of this Section 4, except to the extent the agreement evidencing such award provides otherwise or to the extent another issuance date may be required in order to comply with any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

5.
Policies; Procedures.

As an employee of the Company, Employee will be expected to abide by all of the Company's policies and procedures, including (without limitation) the terms of any Company handbook, insider trading policy and code of ethics in effect from time to time.

6.
At Will Employment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Employee's employment with the Company is "at will" and will not be for any specified term, meaning that either Employee or the Company will be entitled to terminate Employee's employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause or advance notice. Any contrary representations that may have been made to Employee are hereby superseded by the terms set forth in this Agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between Employee and the Company on this subject. Although Employee's job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company's personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the "at will" nature of Employee's employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by Employee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and approved by the Board of Directors.

7.
Separation from Service.

(a) Termination by Employee . If Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company for any reason other than as a result of his or her death or Disability or his or her resignation for "good reason" (as defined below), then all the obligations of the Company set forth in this Agreement will cease, other than the obligation to pay Employee, on his or her employment termination date, any earned but unpaid compensation for services rendered through that termination date, any accrued but unused vacation days as of that termination date, and any accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses pursuant to Section 2(c) (collectively, the " Accrued Obligations "). If Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company for "good reason" (as defined below) during the Term, then in addition to Employee's right to receive the Accrued Obligations, Employee will, upon Employee's satisfaction of the Release Condition set forth in Section 7(b) below, become entitled to the Separation Payment (as defined below) and the Additional Payments (as defined below), to the same extent as if Employee's employment had been terminated by the Company "without cause" (as defined below) during the Term, and Employee will also be entitled, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4 above, to the accelerated vesting of any equity awards Employee holds at the time of such termination. Following Employee's termination of his or her employment with the Company under this Section 7(a), Employee will continue to be obligated to comply with the terms of Section 9 below.

(b) Termination by the Company . If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company "without cause" (as defined below) during the Term, then in addition to Employee's right to receive the Accrued Obligations, Employee will, upon Employee's satisfaction of the Release Condition set forth below in this Section 7(b), become entitled to a cash separation payment (the " Separation Payment ") in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) Employee’s base salary at the annual rate in effect for Employee at the time and (ii) Employee’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which Employee’s employment is terminated. In addition, contingent upon Employee's satisfaction of the Release Condition, Employee will be eligible for the following additional separation payments (the " Additional Payments "):

(I) If the date of such involuntary termination occurs after the end of a fiscal year of the Company but prior to the date in the subsequent fiscal year on which Employee's bonus for that fiscal year would have otherwise become due and payable on the basis of the

4



applicable performance goals attained for that year had Employee continued in employment with the Company, then the Company will pay Employee an additional separation payment equal to the bonus that Employee would have received on the basis of the attained performance goals had Employee remained employed by, and in good standing with, the Company through the payment date for such bonus, with that amount to be paid in a lump sum (in the same form in which such bonus payment would have been paid had Employee remained in the Company's employ through the payment date) on the later of (i) the date on which the first monthly installment of the Separation Payment (or, in the case of a termination following a Qualifying Change in Control, the lump sum Separation Payment) is paid to Employee as set forth below in this Section 7(b) or (ii) the date such bonus would have been paid to Employee pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement had Employee continued in the Company's employ through such payment date.

(II) In no event shall any such Additional Payment described in (I) above be made later than the last day of the applicable period necessary to qualify such Additional Payment for the short-term deferral exception under Code Section 409A.

(III) For a period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination, if Employee elects COBRA health care continuation coverage, Employee shall be eligible to continue to receive the medical and dental coverage provided by the Company as of the date of termination (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable his spouse and dependents, as the same may be changed from time to time for employees of the Company generally; provided that in order to receive such continued coverage, Employee shall be required to pay to the Company the full amount of the monthly premium payments for such coverage, at the time such payments are due, and the Company shall, on the first payroll of the month following the payment of each such premium, reimburse Employee for an amount that, prior to withholding for applicable taxes, is equal to the amount of such monthly premium.
Payment of the Separation Payment and the Additional Payments (if any) and the accelerated vesting of Employee's equity awards under Section 4 will each be contingent upon the satisfaction of the following requirements (collectively the " Release Condition ") : (i) Employee must execute and deliver to the Company, within twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days to the extent such longer period is required under applicable law) after the effective date of Employee's termination of employment, a comprehensive agreement releasing the Company and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, representatives and other related parties from all claims that Employee may have with respect to such parties relating to Employee's employment with the Company and the termination of that employment relationship and containing such other and additional terms as the Company deems satisfactory (the " Release ") and (ii) such Release must become effective and enforceable after the expiration of any applicable revocation period under federal or state law.
Except as provided in the following paragraph, the Separation Payment to which Employee becomes entitled under this Section 7(b) or under Section 7(a) above will be payable in a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments, beginning on the first regular payday for the Company's salaried employees, within the sixty (60)-day period following the date of Employee's "separation from service" (as defined below) as a result of Employee's termination "without cause" (as defined below) or Employee's resignation for "good reason" (as defined below), on which Employee's executed Release is effective and enforceable in accordance with its terms following the expiration of the applicable revocation period in effect for that Release. However, should such sixty (60)-day period span two taxable years, the first such monthly installment shall be paid during the portion of that period that occurs in the second taxable year. The remaining monthly installments shall be paid on successive monthly anniversaries of the initial monthly installment hereunder. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, Employee's right to receive such Separation Payment shall be deemed a right to receive a series of separate individual payments and not a right to single payment.

5



If Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company “without cause” (as defined below) or if Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company for “good reason” (as defined below) during the Term and within the twelve (12) month period beginning on the effective date of a Qualifying Change in Control (as defined below), the Separation Payment to which Employee becomes entitled under this Section 7(b) or under Section 7(a) above upon Employee’s satisfaction of the Release Condition will be payable in a single lump-sum payment on the first regular payday for the Company’s salaried employees, within the sixty (60)-day period following the date of Employee’s “separation from service” (as defined below) as a result of Employee’s termination “without cause” (as defined below) or Employee’s resignation for “good reason” (as defined below), on which Employee’s executed Release is effective and enforceable in accordance with its terms following the expiration of the applicable revocation period in effect for that Release. However, should such sixty (60)-day period span two taxable years, then such payment shall be made during the portion of that period that occurs in the second taxable year. Any Separation Payment to which Employee becomes entitled hereunder in connection with a termination following a Change in Control other than a Qualifying Change in Control will be paid in installments as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 7(b). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control " shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Company's most recently-adopted equity compensation plan, and a " Qualifying Change in Control " shall mean the date on which there occurs a "Change in Control" (as defined above) that also qualifies as: (i) a change in the ownership of the Company, as determined in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) of the Treasury Regulations, (ii) a change in the effective control of the Company, as determined in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi) of the Treasury Regulations, or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii) of the Treasury Regulations.
If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company "without cause" (as defined below), the Company will have no further obligation to Employee pursuant to this Agreement other than the Accrued Obligations, the vesting of Employee's outstanding equity awards in accordance with the applicable vesting acceleration provisions of Section 4 above and the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 7(b).
If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company "with cause" (as defined below), the Company will have no further obligation to Employee under the terms of this Agreement, other than the Accrued Obligations.
Notwithstanding the termination of Employee's employment by the Company "with cause" or "without cause," or by Employee for "good reason" or without "good reason", Employee will continue to be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9, whether or not Employee becomes entitled to any severance or separation payments or benefits pursuant to Section 4 or Section 7 of this Agreement.

If any payment or benefit received or to be received by Employee (including any payment or benefit received pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) would be (in whole or part) subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, or any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the " Excise Tax "), then the cash payments provided to Employee under this Agreement shall first be reduced, with each such payment to be reduced pro-rata but without any change in the payment date and with the monthly installments of the Separation Payment (or the lump sum Separation Payment in the event of a Qualifying Change in Control) to be the first such cash payments so reduced, and then, if necessary, the accelerated vesting of Employee's equity awards pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be reduced in the reverse chronological order (i.e., the options that vest later in time would be subject to this provision prior to the options that vest earlier in time) as to which those awards would otherwise vest, but only to the extent necessary to assure that Employee receives only the greater of (i) the amount of those payments and benefits which would not constitute a parachute payment under Code Section 280G or (ii) the amount which yields Employee the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account any Excise Tax imposed on the payments and benefits provided Employee hereunder (or on any other payments or benefits to which Employee may become

6



entitled in connection with any change in control or ownership of the Company or the subsequent termination of Employee's employment with the Company).

(c) Termination by Death or Disability.

If Employee incurs a "separation from service" (as defined below) as a result of his or her death or Disability, the Company will be obligated to pay the Accrued Obligations to Employee, Employee's estate or beneficiaries (as the case may be) on the date of such separation from service or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such separation from service. In the event of such separation from service due to Employee's death or Disability, Employee or Employee's estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, will also be entitled to the accelerated vesting of Employee's equity awards as set forth in Section 4(c) above. The provisions of this Section 7(c) will not affect or change the rights or benefits to which Employee is otherwise entitled under the Company's employee benefit plans or otherwise.

(d) Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions will be in effect:
"good reason" means:

(i)
a material reduction in either Employee's base salary or annual bonus opportunity, in either case without Employee's prior written consent;

(ii)
a material reduction in Employee's position, duties and responsibilities without Employee's prior written consent; provided, however, that a material reduction as contemplated hereunder shall not be presumed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in organizational structure or reporting relationship(s);

(iii)
a material change in the geographic location at which Employee must perform services which is not within a 50-mile radius of the following locations, without Employee's prior written consent: 3113 Woodcreek Drive, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515 or any other location in Chicago, IL; or

(iv)
any material un-waived breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement;
provided however, that with respect to any of the clause (i) - (iv) events above, Employee will not be deemed to have resigned for good reason unless (A) Employee provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the good reason event within ninety (90) days after its initial occurrence, (B) the Company is provided with thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure such good reason event and (C) Employee effectively terminates Employee's employment within one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of the non-cured clause (i) - (iv) event.
" separation from servic e" means Employee's cessation of employee status with the Company by reason of Employee's death, resignation, dismissal or other termination event and shall be deemed to occur at such time as the level of bona fide services Employee is to render as such an employee (or as a non-employee consultant) permanently decreases to a level that is not more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services Employee rendered as an employee during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) months (or such shorter period of time in which Employee has actually been in employee status with the Company). Any such determination of Employee's separation from service shall, however, be made in accordance with the applicable standards of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code.

7



" with cause " means Employee's termination of employment by the Company for any of the following reasons:

(i)
if Employee is convicted of, or enters a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or a misdemeanor involving any act of moral turpitude;

(ii)
if Employee commits an act of actual fraud, embezzlement, theft or similar dishonesty against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

(iii)
if Employee commits any willful misconduct or gross negligence resulting in material harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

(iv)
failure for any reason within five (5) days after receipt by Employee of written notice thereof from the Company, to correct, cease or otherwise alter any insubordination, failure to comply with instructions, inattention to or neglect of the duties to be performed by Employee or other act or omission to act that in the opinion of the Company does or may adversely affect the business or operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

(v)
breach of any material provision of this Agreement or any of the agreements referred to in Section 9 hereof; or

(vi)
any other act or omission that is determined to constitute “cause” in the good faith discretion of the Board of Directors.
" without cause " means any reason not within the scope of the definition of the term "with cause."

(e) Code Section 409A Deferral Period. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary (other than Section 7(f) below), no payment or distribution under this Agreement which constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of Employee's termination of employment with the Company will be made to Employee until Employee incurs a separation from service (as such term is defined above and determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code) in connection with such termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided Employee shall be treated as a separate identified payment or benefit for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, no payment or benefit which constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of Employee's separation from service will be made to Employee prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month measured from the date of such separation from service or (ii) the date of Employee's death, if Employee is deemed at the time of such separation from service to be a "specified employee" (as determined pursuant to Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 7(e) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or provided to Employee in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month after the date of Employee's separation from service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Employee's death. Any remaining payments or benefits due under this Agreement will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified herein.

(f) Provisions Applicable to "Specified Employee". Notwithstanding Section 7(e) above, the following provisions shall also be applicable to Employee if Employee is a "specified employee" at the time of Employee's separation of service:

8




(i) Any payments or benefits which become due and payable to Employee during the period beginning with the date of Employee's separation from service and ending on March 15 of the following calendar year and otherwise qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Code Section 409A shall not be subject to the holdback provisions of Section 7(e) and shall accordingly be paid as and when they become due and payable under this Agreement in accordance with such short-term deferral exception to Code Section 409A.

(ii) The remaining portion of the payments and benefits to which Employee becomes entitled under this Agreement, to the extent they do not in the aggregate exceed the dollar limit described below and are otherwise scheduled to be paid no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee's separation from service occurs, shall not be subject to the holdback provisions of Section 7(e) and shall be paid to Employee as they become due and payable under this Agreement. For purposes of this subparagraph (ii), the applicable dollar limitation will be equal to two times the lesser of (i) Employee's annualized compensation (based on Employee's annual rate of pay for the calendar year preceding the calendar year of Employee's separation from service, adjusted to reflect any increase during that calendar year which was expected to continue indefinitely had such separation from service not occurred) or (ii) the compensation limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code as in effect in the year of such separation from service. To the extent the portion of the severance payments and benefits to which Employee would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement during the deferral period under Section 7(e) exceeds the foregoing dollar limitation, such excess shall be paid in a lump sum upon the expiration of that deferral period, in accordance with the deferred payment provisions of Section 7(e), and the remaining severance payments and benefits (if any) shall be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

8.
Withholding Taxes.
All forms of compensation payable pursuant to the terms this Agreement, whether payable in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property, are subject to reduction to reflect the applicable withholding and payroll taxes.

9.
Restrictive Covenants.
Employee hereby agrees to enter into a Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement and an Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company on or prior to the Effective Date, which agreements shall be in substantially the forms attached hereto as Appendix A and B, respectively .

10.
Deferred Compensation Programs
Any compensation deferred by Employee pursuant to one or more non-qualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements of the Company subject to Section 409A of the Code and not otherwise expressly addressed by the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid at such time and in such form of payment as set forth in each applicable plan or arrangement governing the payment of any such deferred amounts.


9



11.
Clawback.
Any amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to this Agreement or the Company's equity or compensation plans shall be subject to recovery or clawback to the extent required by any applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards.

12.
Entire Agreement/Construction of Terms.

(a) This Agreement, together with any Company handbooks and policies in effect from time to time and the applicable stock plans and agreements evidencing the equity awards made to Employee from time to time during Employee's period of employment, contains all of the terms of Employee's employment with the Company and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements, whether oral or written, between Employee and the Company.

(b) If any provision of this Agreement is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to conflict with any federal, state or local law, or to be otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be construed or modified in a manner so as to maximize its enforceability while giving the greatest effect as possible to the intent of the parties. To the extent any provision cannot be construed or modified to be enforceable, such provision will be deemed to be eliminated from this Agreement and of no force or effect, and the remainder of this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and be construed as if such portion had not been included in this Agreement.

(c) This Agreement is not assignable by Employee. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to its subsidiaries or affiliates or to successors in interest to the Company or its lines of business.

(d) The severance payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended, where possible, to comply with the "short term deferral exception" and the "involuntary separation pay exception" to Code Section 409A. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Separation Payment and the accelerated vesting of Employee's equity awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder and the determination of Employee's separation from service due to termination of Employee's employment without cause or Employee's resignation for good reason shall be applied, construed and administered so that those payments and benefits qualify for one or both of those exceptions, to the maximum extent allowable. However, to the extent any payment or benefit to which Employee becomes entitled under this Agreement is deemed to constitute an item of deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to that payment or benefit shall be applied, construed and administered so that such payment or benefit is made or provided in compliance with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. In addition, should there arise any ambiguity as to whether any other provisions of this Agreement would contravene one or more applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, such provisions shall be interpreted, administered and applied in a manner that complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.


13.
Amendment and Governing Law.
This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an express written agreement signed by Employee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and approved by the Board of Directors. Employee agrees that any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.  Employee hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction (including without limitation in personam jurisdiction), process and venue of the courts of the State of Illinois and the Federal courts of the United States located in Chicago, Illinois, and hereby agrees that any action, suit or proceeding initiated by Illinois for the interpretation or enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement shall, and that any action, suit or

10



proceeding initiated by Company for the interpretation or enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement may, be heard and determined exclusively in a Federal court, or, if not permitted by applicable law, then in a State court, situated in Chicago, Illinois.    

14.
Surviving Provisions.
Following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sections 5, 6, 7(e), 7(f), 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 will survive, and, if Employee's employment with the Company continues thereafter, Employee's employment with the Company will continue to be "at will".

Appendix A

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT


CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the " Agreement ") is made and entered into as of the Effective Date (as defined below), between FTD Companies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) and Steven D. Barnhart (the “ Executive ”).
R E C I T A L S:
A.    The Company and the Executive have entered into that certain employment agreement dated as of December 8, 2017 (the “ Employment Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Executive will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commencing on January 8, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”); and
B.    In connection therewith, the Company and the Executive desire to provide for certain additional obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the offer to and acceptance by the Executive of employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto additionally agree as follows:
Section 1. Non‑Competition, Confidentiality, No Interference and Non-Solicitation .

(a) No Competing Employment . The Executive acknowledges that (i) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 1 are essential to protect the value of the Company’s business and assets and (ii) by virtue of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will obtain such knowledge, know‑how, training and experience of such a character that there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know‑how, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment. Therefore, the Executive agrees that, for the period (the “ Restricted Period ”) commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the date on which the Executive is no longer employed by the Company for any reason, the Executive shall not participate, operate, manage, consult, join, control or engage, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, whether as an employee, consultant, agent, officer, stockholder, member, investor, agent or otherwise, in any business activity if such activity constitutes the sale or provision of floral products or services or other gifts that are similar to, or competitive with, floral products or services or other gifts then being sold or provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, retail florists’ business services, floral order transmission and related network services, development and distribution of branded floral products or other gifts (including, without limitation, gourmet foods and personalized gifts), on the Internet or through retail, mass marketing, franchise, wholesale, catalog, supermarket, wholesale club and telemarketing channels (a “ Competitive Activity ”), in any of: the City of Downers Grove, Illinois, the County of DuPage, Illinois or any other city or county in the State of




Illinois; the District of Columbia or any other state, territory, district or commonwealth of the United States or any county, parish, city or similar political subdivision in any other state, territory, district or commonwealth of the United States; any other country or territory anywhere in the world or in any city, canton, county, district, parish, province or any other political subdivision in any such country or territory; or anywhere in the world (each city, canton, commonwealth, county, district, parish, province, state, country, territory or other political subdivision or other location in the world shall be referred to as a “ Non-competition Area ”). The parties to this Agreement intend that the covenant contained in the preceding sentence of this Section 1(a) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, canton, commonwealth, county, district, parish, state, province, country, territory, or other political subdivision or other area of the world specified. Except for geographic coverage, each separate covenant shall be considered identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding sentence. The parties further acknowledge the breadth of the covenants, but agree that such broad covenants are necessary and appropriate in the light of the global nature of the Competitive Activity. If, in any judicial or other proceeding, a court or other body declines to enforce any of the separate covenants included in this Section 1(a), the unenforceable covenant shall be considered eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may maintain or undertake purely passive investments on behalf of the Executive, the Executive’s immediate family or any trust on behalf of the Executive or the Executive’s immediate family in companies engaged in a Competitive Activity so long as the aggregate interest represented by such investments does not exceed 1% of any class of the outstanding publicly traded debt or equity securities of any company engaged in a Competitive Activity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1(a), the Executive may participate, operate, manage, consult, join, control or engage any person, partnership, corporation or other entity for which Competitive Activity does not account for more than twenty percent (20%) of its revenue; provided that this exception shall not apply to the companies listed on Schedule I hereto.

(b) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information . The Executive, except in connection with Executive’s employment hereunder, shall not disclose to any person or entity or use, either during the Executive’s employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, any information in any form relating to the Company, or any of its successors or their subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Company Group ”), including but not limited to trade secrets, technical information, systems, procedures, test data, price lists, financial or other data (including the revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Company’s products or services), business and product plans, code books, invoices and other financial statements, computer programs, discs and printouts, customer and supplier lists or names, personnel files, sales and advertising material, telephone numbers, names, addresses or any other compilation of information, written or unwritten, that is or was used in the business of the Company, any predecessor of the Company, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or successors (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is publicly known or available through lawful means; (ii) was rightfully in the Executive’s possession prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company as demonstrated by written documents currently in existence; (iii) is disclosed to the Executive without restriction by a third party who to the Executive’s knowledge rightfully possesses and discloses the information and to the Executive’s knowledge is not under a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) is reasonably known to people in the trade or industry; or (v) is independently developed by the Executive without access

2



to Confidential Information. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that all of such Confidential Information, in any form, and copies and extracts thereof are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or other Company Group entity, and upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall return to the Company the originals and all copies (and shall delete all such items in electronic format) of any such information provided to or acquired by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties for the Company, and shall return to the Company all files, correspondence, computer equipment and disks or other communications (including any such materials in electronic format) received, maintained or originated by the Executive during the course of the Executive’s employment.

(c) No Interference and Non-Solicitation of Employees . During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, whether for the Executive’s own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization, solicit, endeavor to entice away from the Company, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or otherwise knowingly interfere with the relationship of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with, any person who, to the knowledge of the Executive, is (or has at any time within the preceding three months been) employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any independent sales representatives or organizations).

(d) No Interference and Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers . During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, whether for the Executive’s own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization, knowingly (i) solicit, encourage or induce any Customer or Supplier to cease doing business with the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or (ii) interfere with, impair or damage the relationship between the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries and any Customer or Supplier; provided , however , that this Section 1(d) shall not prohibit the Executive from soliciting or employing, for the Executive’s own account, following a termination of the employment of the Executive, any person employed by a Customer or Supplier, if such solicitation or employment is not in connection with a Competitive Activity. “ Customer or Supplier ” shall mean any entity who, to the knowledge of the Executive, (A) is, or was within the then most recent 12‑month period, a customer or client of the Company, any predecessor of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries; (B) is a supplier or vendor of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries; or (C) is a potential Customer or Supplier with whom the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries was engaged in substantial negotiations during the Executive’s employment.

(e) Conflicting Employment . Executive agrees that, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company, he will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or is then involved during the term of Executive’s employment, nor will Executive engage in any other business activities that conflict with Executive’s obligations to the Company, except as otherwise specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the last sentence of Section 1(a) hereof) or the Employment Agreement.

3



(f) Sufficient Consideration . The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit the Executive's ability to earn a livelihood in a business engaged in a Competitive Activity, but the Executive nevertheless believes that the Executive has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company to clearly justify restrictions that, in any event, given Executive’s education, skills and ability, the Executive does not believe would prevent the Executive from earning a living.

Section 2.     Irreparable Injury . It is further expressly agreed that the Company will or would suffer irreparable injury if the Executive were to compete with the Company, its successors or any of its or their subsidiaries in violation of this Agreement or the Executive were to otherwise breach this Agreement. Any such violation or breach will cause the Company irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Consequently, the Company shall have the right to apply to a court of appropriate jurisdiction for, and the Executive consents and stipulates to the entry of, an order of injunctive relief in prohibiting the Executive from competing with the Company, its successors or any of its or their subsidiaries in violation of this Agreement, an order restraining any other breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, and any other relief the Company and such court deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available to the Company in law or equity. The parties hereby agree that the attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in any such proceeding or action shall be paid by the non-prevailing party.
Section 3.     Representation and Warranties of the Executive . The Executive represents and warrants that the execution of this Agreement and subsequent employment with the Company does not and will not conflict with any obligations that the Executive has to any former employers or any other entity. The Executive further represents and warrants that the Executive has not brought to the Company, and will not at any time bring to the Company, any materials, documents or other property of any nature of a former employer.
Section 4.     Miscellaneous .
(a) Jurisdiction, Choice of Law and Venue . The validity and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, excluding the conflicts-of-laws principles thereof. Each party hereto consents to the jurisdiction of, and venue in, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in Chicago, Illinois.

(b) Entire Agreement . This Agreement and any other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement, state the entire agreement and understanding of the parties on the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all previous agreements, arrangements, communications and understandings relating to that subject matter.

(c) Counterparts . This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same effect as if all signatures were on the same document.
(d) Amendment; Waiver; etc . This Agreement, and each other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement, may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms thereof may be waived, only by a written document signed by

4



each party to this Agreement or, in the case of waiver, by the party or parties waiving compliance. The delay or failure of any party at any time or times to exercise any right or require the performance of any duty under this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of that party at a later time to exercise that right or enforce that duty or any other right or duty. No waiver by any party of any condition or of any breach of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed or construed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or of the breach of any other term of this Agreement. A single or partial exercise of any right shall not preclude any other or further exercise of the same right or of any other right. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(e) Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement, if any, is partially or completely invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of its invalidity or unenforceability, but the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, all of which shall be construed and enforced as if that invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted, nor shall the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision in one jurisdiction affect its validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction. The Company and the Executive agree that the period of time and the geographical area described in Section 1 are reasonable in view of the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged and proposes to be engaged, and the Executive's understanding of her prospective future employment opportunities. However, if the time period or the geographical area, or both, described in Section 1 should be judged unreasonable in any judicial proceeding, then the period of time shall be reduced by that number of months and the geographical area shall be reduced by elimination of that portion, or both, as are deemed unreasonable, so that the restriction covenant of Section 1 may be enforced during the longest period of time and in the fullest geographical area as is adjudged to be reasonable.

(f) Employment “At-Will” . Both the Executive and the Company acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement creates a contract for employment for any specific duration. The Executive's employment shall be "at-will", meaning both the Company and the Executive can terminate the relationship at any time, with or without reason or notice.

(g) Survival of Obligations . The obligations of the Executive set forth in this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company and the termination of this Agreement.

(h) Assignment . This Agreement may be freely assigned by the Company, but may not be assigned by the Executive without the prior written consent of the Company which may be withheld at the Company’s sole discretion.

(i)     Binding Effect . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, personal representatives and any permitted assigns.

Appendix B

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by FTD Companies, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (my “Employer”), the compensation I receive, and any other consideration I have been provided that was conditioned on my execution of this Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“the Agreement”), I agree as follows:
1.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.

(a) Parties. I understand and agree that this Agreement is intended to benefit Employer and all of its subsidiaries and parent companies including, but not limited to, all of its current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries and parent companies and their respective successors (all of the foregoing being referred to, individually and collectively, as the “Company”).

(b) Confidential Restrictions. I understand that, during the course of my work as an employee of Employer, I have had and will have access to Proprietary Information (as defined below) concerning the Company and parties with which the Company has a business relationship. I acknowledge that the Company has developed, compiled, and otherwise obtained, at great expense, such Proprietary Information. I agree to hold in strict confidence all Proprietary Information and will not disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside of the Company and will not use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from Company premises Proprietary Information, except during my employment in connection with carrying out my responsibilities as an employee of Employer. I further agree that the publication of any Proprietary Information through literature or speeches must be approved in advance in accordance with the Company’s applicable policies and procedures. I understand that my employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between me and Employer with respect to Proprietary Information, and I voluntarily accept this trust and confidence.

(c) Proprietary Information Defined. I understand that the term “Proprietary Information” in this Agreement means all information and any idea, in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by me, pertaining in any manner to the current or proposed business of the Company unless the information: (i) is publicly known or available through lawful means; (ii) was rightfully in my possession prior to my employment with the Company as demonstrated by written documents currently in existence; (iii) is disclosed to me without restriction by a third party who to my knowledge rightfully possesses and discloses the information and to my knowledge is not under a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) is reasonably known to people in the trade or industry; or (v) is independently developed by me without access to Proprietary Information. Without limiting the scope of the definition, I understand that the Company considers the following to be included in the definition of Proprietary Information: (i) all client/




customer lists and all lists or other compilations containing client, customer or vendor information; (ii) information about products, proposed products, research, product development, techniques, processes, costs, profits, product pricing, markets, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, sales and commissions; (iii) plans for the future development and new product concepts; (iv) all information regarding the Company’s subscribers and all information regarding the Company’s subscribers compiled by or derived from the Company’s database; (v) the compensation and terms of employment of other employees; (vi) all other information that has been or will be given to me in confidence by the Company; and (vii) software in various stages of development, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, algorithms, object code, documentation, diagrams, flow charts, computer programs, databases, and other data of any kind and description, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means. Proprietary Information also includes any information described above which the Company obtains from another party and which the Company treats as proprietary or designates as Proprietary Information whether or not owned or developed by the Company or the other party.

(d) Company Materials. I understand that I will be entrusted with “Company Materials” (as defined below) which are important to the Company’s business or the business of Company customers or clients. I agree that during my employment, I will not deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as I am required to do in connection with performing my duties for Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Materials” are documents, electronic files or any other tangible or electronic items that contain information concerning the business, operations or plans of the Company or its customers, whether the documents have been prepared by me or others. Company Materials include, but are not limited to, computers, computer disk drives, computer files, computer disks, documents, code, flowcharts, schematics, designs, graphics, customer lists, drawings, photographs, customer information, etc.

(e) Information Use Return and Acknowledgement. I agree that I will not retain and I will return all Proprietary Information and all copies of it in whatever form, as well as all Company Materials, apparatus, equipment and other Company property along with all reproductions, to Employer after my employment terminates. The only exceptions are: (i) my personal copies of records of my compensation, benefits or other terms of my employment with the Company; (ii) any agreements between me and the Company that I have signed; and (iii) my copy of this Agreement. I agree to execute reasonable documentation if requested by Employer upon the termination of my employment reflecting such return and acknowledging my obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Prior Actions and Knowledge. I represent and warrant that from the time of my first contact or communication with the Company, I have held in strict confidence all Proprietary Information and have not disclosed any Proprietary Information to anyone outside of the Company other than my counsel and other advisors, or used, copied, published, or summarized any Proprietary Information except to the

2



extent necessary to carry out my responsibilities as an employee of Employer or to evaluate my potential employment with the Company.

(g) Former Employer Information; Consents. I agree that I will not, during my employment, improperly use or disclose any confidential information, proprietary information or trade secrets of my former or any concurrent employers. I agree that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any document or any property belonging to my former or any concurrent employers unless consented to in writing by them. I represent and warrant that I have returned all confidential or proprietary property and confidential information belonging to all prior employers to the extent required under any agreement I have with them. I also represent and warrant that my performance of services for Employer will not require any authorization, consent, exemption or other action by any other party and will not conflict with, violate or breach any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which I am subject.

(h) Permitted Communications . Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement (or any other agreement entered into with the Company) shall be construed to prohibit me from providing truthful information to any government agency in connection with an investigation by such agency into a suspected violation of law. I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if I file a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the trade secret to my attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if I (x) file any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

2.
INVENTIONS.

(a) Defined. I understand that during the term of my employment, there will be certain restrictions on my development of technology, ideas, and inventions, referred to in this Agreement as “Invention Ideas.” The term Invention Ideas means all ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, inventions, technology, computer programs, original works of authorship, designs, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, relating to any existing or planned service or product of the Company and all improvements, rights, and claims related to the foregoing that are conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me alone or with others, except to the extent that applicable state law prohibits the assignment of these rights. I agree that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) as a member of the Company’s (or any of its subsidiary’s) Board of Directors or within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as the term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA, Section 101).


3



(b) Notice Regarding State Invention Assignment Laws. The laws of some states prohibit the assignment of certain invention rights ( e.g ., Delaware Code Title 19 § 805; Illinois 765 ILCS 1060/1-3; Kansas Stat. Ann. § 44-130; Minnesota Stat. 13A, § 181.78; North Carolina Gen. Stat. Art. 10A, § 66-57.1; Utah Stat. § 34-39-1 through 34-39-3; Washington RCW 49.44.140). This Agreement shall be construed so that it complies with all such applicable laws. To that end, to the extent applicable state law requires it, you are notified as follows:

NOTICE: This Agreement does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, unless (a) the invention relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice (i) to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer.
If the state law that applies provides greater invention rights to you than are described in the above notice, those greater rights will apply to you.
(c) Disclosure. I agree to maintain adequate and current written records on the development of all Invention Ideas and to disclose promptly to Employer all Invention Ideas and relevant records, which records will remain the sole property of Employer. I further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer program, original work of authorship, design formula, discovery, patent, or copyright that might reasonably be construed to be an Invention Idea, but is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me (alone or with others) during my employment or during the one year period following termination of my employment, shall be promptly disclosed to Employer. If I inform Employer before making a specific disclosure pursuant to this paragraph that I contend the subject matter being disclosed is not subject to this Agreement, then the disclosure will be received by Employer in confidence so that Employer may examine such information to determine if in fact it constitutes Invention Ideas subject to this Agreement.

(d) Assignment. I agree to assign and hereby do assign to Employer, without further consideration, all right, title, and interest that I may presently have or may acquire in the future (throughout the United States and in all foreign countries), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, in and to each Invention Idea, which shall be the sole property of Employer, whether or not patentable. The rights I have assigned, and will assign, include all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights and any rights of publicity or personality, vested and contingent, and include extensions and renewals thereof and the right to license and assign. I will waive and hereby do waive any moral rights I have or may have in any Invention Idea. In the event any Invention Idea shall be deemed by Employer to be patentable or otherwise registrable, I will assist Employer or the Company, as Employer may reasonably direct (at its expense) in obtaining letters patent

4



or other applicable registrations, and I will execute all documents and do all other things (including testifying at Employer’s expense) necessary or proper, as reasonably requested by Employer, to obtain letters patent or other applicable registrations and to vest Employer or the Company, as Employer may direct, with full title to them. My obligation to assist Employer in obtaining and enforcing patents, registrations or other rights for such inventions in any and all countries, shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but Employer or the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for the time actually spent by me at Employer’s reasonable request for such assistance. Should Employer be unable to secure my signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Invention Idea, whether due to my mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, I irrevocably designate and appoint Employer and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on my behalf, to execute and file any such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights of protections with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by me.

(e) License . In the case of any invention or work of authorship that I own or in which I have an interest that is not owned by Employer pursuant to the other terms in this Agreement, the following shall apply. If I use the invention or work of authorship, or allow it to be used, in the course of the Company’s business, or incorporate the invention or work of authorship, or allow it to be incorporated, into any product or process owned or developed in whole or in part by the Company, I will grant, and I hereby do grant to Employer and/or one or more subsidiaries of the Company, as Employer may reasonably direct, and their assigns a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license of all of my interests in the invention or work of authorship, including all rights to make, use, sell, reproduce, modify, distribute, perform publicly, display publicly and transmit the invention or work of authorship, without restriction. At Employer’s reasonable direction and expense I will execute all documents and take all actions necessary or convenient for Employer and the Company to document, obtain, maintain or assign their license rights hereunder of my interest in any such invention or work of authorship.

(f) Exclusions. Except as disclosed in Exhibit A, there are no ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, inventions, technology, computer programs, original works of authorship, designs, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, or improvements to the foregoing that I wish to exclude from this Agreement. If nothing is listed on Exhibit A, I represent that I have no such inventions or improvements at the time of signing this Agreement. I am not aware of any existing contract in conflict with this Agreement.

(g) Post-Termination Period. I acknowledge that because of the difficulty of establishing when any idea, process, invention, etc., is first conceived or developed by me, or whether it results from access to Proprietary Information or the Company’s equipment, facilities, and data, I agree that any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer program, original work of authorship,

5



design, formula, discovery, patent, copyright, or any improvement, rights, or claims related to the foregoing shall be presumed to be an Invention Idea if it relates to any existing or planned service or product of the Company, and if it is conceived, developed, used, sold, exploited, or reduced to practice by me or with my aid within six months after my termination of employment (voluntarily or involuntarily) with Employer, or any other subsidiary of the Company, or the Company. I can rebut the above presumption if I prove that the invention, idea, process, etc., is not an Invention Idea as defined in paragraph 2(a).

(h) State Law Regarding Invention Rights. I understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand the scope of protection regarding invention rights that is provided to me by applicable state law.

3. CONTRACTS.

I understand that the Company has or may enter into contracts with the government or other companies under which certain intellectual property rights will be required to be protected, assigned, licensed, or otherwise transferred and I hereby agree to execute such other documents and agreements as are necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations under those contracts.
4.
REMEDIES.

I recognize that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any remedy of the Company under applicable state law protecting confidential information or trade secrets or any other relevant state or federal law. In addition, I recognize that my violation of this Agreement could cause the Company irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, I agree that the Company shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and for any other relief the Company deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available to the Company in law or equity.
5.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Assignment/Successors and Assigns . I agree that Employer may assign to another person or entity any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon me and my heirs, personal representatives, and successors, and shall inure to the benefit of the Employer’s successors and assigns.

(b) Jurisdiction, Choice of Law and Venue . The validity, interpretation, enforceability and performance of this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding the conflicts-of-laws principles thereof. Each party hereto consents to the jurisdiction of, and venue in, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Chicago in the State of Illinois.

6



(c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or application thereof to any person, place, or circumstances, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to the maximum extent possible to give effect to the intent of the language while still remaining enforceable under applicable law. The remainder of this Agreement and application thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) No Guarantee of Employment . I understand this Agreement is not a guarantee of continued employment. My employment is terminable at any time by Employer or me, with or without cause or prior notice, except as may be otherwise provided in an express written employment agreement properly authorized by Employer.

(e) Entire Agreement. The terms of this Agreement are the final expression of my agreement with respect to these subjects and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. This Agreement shall replace and supersede any similar agreement that currently is in effect between me and Employer or the Company, provided that Employer shall retain all rights that have arisen under that prior agreement up to the time I sign this new Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding involving this Agreement. This Agreement can only be modified in writing signed by Employer’s General Counsel.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I HAVE COMPLETELY NOTED ON EXHIBIT A TO THIS AGREEMENT ANY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, IDEAS, PROCESSES, TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS, INVENTIONS, TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, ORIGINAL WORKS OF AUTHORSHIP, DESIGNS, FORMULAS, DISCOVERIES, PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, OR IMPROVEMENTS, OR RIGHTS THAT I DESIRE TO EXCLUDE FROM THIS AGREEMENT.

FTD COMPANIES, INC.
2018 MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN


I.
PURPOSES OF THE PLAN

1.01 The FTD Companies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) 2018 Management Bonus Plan (the “ Plan ”) is hereby established under the Incentive Bonus Program and the Stock Issuance Program of the Company’s stockholder-approved FTD Companies, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (as last amended and restated as of June 6, 2017, the “ 2013 ICP ”) and is intended to promote the interests of the Company by creating an incentive program, which will pay out in cash, stock or both, to (i) attract and retain employees who will strive for excellence and (ii) motivate those individuals to achieve above-average results by providing them with rewards for contributions to the financial performance of one or more business segments or business units of the Company.

1.02 For purposes of the Plan, the financial performance for the 2018 fiscal year of the Company shall be measured to determine the bonus amounts (if any) payable for such fiscal year to the participants in the Plan.

II.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

2.01 The Plan is hereby adopted by the Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Committee ”) to govern “Cash Awards” (sometimes referred to in this Plan as bonuses) under the Incentive Bonus Program of the 2013 ICP and shall be administered by the Committee pursuant to the administrative authority provided to the Committee under the 2013 ICP and the Incentive Bonus Program thereunder. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine the portion of the bonus awards to be paid in cash and the portion to be paid in common stock of the Company, which common stock, if applicable, will be issued directly as vested shares under the Stock Issuance Program of the 2013 ICP. Awards under this Plan are not intended to be, and will not be, “Qualified Performance-Based Awards” as such term is defined in the 2013 ICP.

2.02 The bonuses that may be earned under the Plan shall be tied to the financial performance of the Company for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 (the “ 2018 Fiscal Year” ). The Committee shall establish the applicable performance goals for the Company in writing not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the 2018 Fiscal Year, provided that the outcome of the applicable goals must be substantially uncertain at the time of their establishment (the “ Performance Goals Schedule ”). The Performance Goals Schedule shall be attached to the minutes of the meeting or the consent resolutions at or by which such performance goals were established.

2.03 The interpretation and construction of the Plan and the adoption of rules and regulations for administering the Plan shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

1



Decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

III.
DETERMINATION OF PARTICIPANTS

3.01 The following individuals (each, a “ Participant ”) will participate in the Plan on the following basis:

(i) The bonus potential for John C. Walden shall be allocated two-thirds (2/3) to the consolidated financial results of the Company and one-third (1/3) to the achievement of other performance criteria for the 2018 Fiscal Year established by the Board of Directors. Such performance criteria shall be based on achievement of specific corporate objectives relating to Company initiatives regarding holiday performance, supply chain efficiency, the FTD florist network and shareholder engagement, each with a specified weighting.

(ii) The bonus potential for the individuals set forth on Schedule I attached hereto shall be allocated to (a) the financial results of the Company, (b) achievement of Company key operating metrics approved by the Board of Directors and (c) achievement of such person’s approved individual goals for the 2018 Fiscal Year as set forth on such Schedule I next to the name of each person. The Company’s CEO shall approve all individual goals.
        
3.02 Except as provided below and except as otherwise provided in any employment agreement or severance agreement between the Company (or a subsidiary thereof) and a Participant, if a Participant does not continue in the employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries through the last business day of the 2018 Fiscal Year (the “ Bonus Qualification Date ”), then such Participant will not be eligible to receive a bonus under the Plan. However, the following special partial payment provisions shall be in effect:

(i) Should the Participant’s employment terminate prior to the Bonus Qualification Date as a result of death or permanent disability (as defined below), then that individual or such individual’s estate shall be entitled to a pro-rated portion of the bonus such individual would have earned, based on the Company’s actual performance for the 2018 Fiscal Year, had such individual continued in the Company’s employ through the Bonus Qualification Date, and such amount will be paid entirely in cash.

(ii) A Participant who is on a leave of absence or whose employment terminates after the start of the 2018 Fiscal Year but whose leave of absence ends or whose employment recommences prior to the Bonus Qualification Date may remain eligible at the discretion of the Committee, and the Committee may provide that individual with a pro-rated portion (based on period or periods of active employment during such year) of the bonus such individual would have earned, based on the Company’s actual performance for the 2018 Fiscal Year, had such individual remained continuously in the Company’s employ through the Bonus Qualification Date.




2



3.03 For purposes of the Plan:

A. A Participant shall be considered an employee for so long as such individual remains employed by the Company or one or more corporations that are subsidiary corporations of the Company at all times during the 2018 Fiscal Year.

B. Each corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of
corporations beginning with the Company shall be considered to be a subsidiary of the Company, provided each such corporation (other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain) owns, at the time of determination, stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

C. Unless defined otherwise in any employment or severance agreement entitling the Participant to a full or pro-rated bonus upon a disability termination, permanent disability shall mean the Participant’s inability to engage in any substantial activity necessary to
perform the duties and responsibilities of his position with the Company (or any subsidiary thereof) by reason of any medically-determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in such individual’s death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

D. In no event shall there be any duplication of bonus payments under this Plan and any employment agreement or severance agreement between the Company (or any subsidiary thereof) and a Participant that provides such individual with a stated bonus or bonus formula for a particular year or includes an annual bonus payment as part of a severance pay formula thereunder. Accordingly, in order to avoid any such potential duplication, such Participant - in a situation implicating duplicative payments - shall only be entitled to receive the annual bonus amount to which he may otherwise be entitled under his employment or severance agreement based on the terms and conditions set forth therein and shall not be entitled to any duplicative bonus payment under the Plan. However, the accelerated vesting of any outstanding equity awards held by the Participant under any of the Company’s stock plans, including any outstanding stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards, performance stock unit awards, or the extension of any exercise periods for such stock options, shall not be deemed to constitute a bonus payment for purposes of this Section 3.03D.

IV.
BONUS AWARDS

4.01 The following provisions shall govern the calculation and payment of the individual bonus awards that become payable under the Plan.

(a) The individual bonus award payable under the Plan to each
Participant for the 2018 Fiscal Year shall be payable in cash and/or direct issuances of common stock of the Company on the Bonus Payment Date (as defined in Section 5.01), with the bonus amount to be determined on the basis of the performance of the Company and the achievement of the performance criteria or divisional or departmental goals, as applicable, to which the bonus potential for that Participant has been allocated in accordance with Section 3.01.


3



(b) The performance of the Company shall be measured in terms of (i) the revenue for the Company and (ii) the net income before depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation, interest and taxes, and certain other expenses and subject to certain adjustments, all as specified in Section 4.02 (“ Adjusted EBITDA ”), for the Company. Accordingly, fifty percent (50%) of the portion of the bonus potential allocated to the financial performance of the Company shall be based upon the achievement of the revenue target (“ Revenue Targets ”) specified for the Company in the Performance Goals Schedule, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the bonus potential allocated to the financial performance of the Company shall be based upon the achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA target (“ Adjusted EBITDA Targets ”) specified for the Company in the Performance Goals Schedule.

4.02 The following provisions shall govern the calculation of the levels at which the Revenue Targets and Adjusted EBITDA Targets are attained for the 2018 Fiscal Year and the determination of the bonus amounts based on those calculations:

(a) The actual level at which revenue for the Company has been attained for the 2018 Fiscal Year will be determined on the basis of the revenues to be reported in the Company’s Financial Statements (as defined in Section 4.03) for such fiscal year and will be calculated, for purposes of the Plan, in a manner consistent with the methodology utilized by the Committee in establishing the Company Revenue Targets.

(b) In determining the actual level at which Adjusted EBITDA for the
Company has been attained, Adjusted EBITDA will be determined consistent with the Company’s methodology for calculating Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting purposes. For financial reporting purposes, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/loss before net interest expense, provision for/benefit from income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, litigation and dispute settlement charges and gains (including, without limitation, damages and settlement costs related to litigation, arbitration, investigations, disputes or similar matters), transaction related costs (including, without limitation, expenses resulting from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, and financing transactions, and including compensation expense and expense for advisors and representatives related to such transactions such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and accounting firms), restructuring and other exit costs (including, without limitation, severance expenses, facility closure expenses, and other restructuring charges) and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. In addition, to the extent the following are not otherwise taken into account in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting purposes, Adjusted EBITDA shall be calculated before, and expenses for the purpose of calculating Adjusted EBITDA shall exclude: (1) any bonus amounts which accrue under this Plan; (2) any adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to a change in accounting principles that occurs after the start of the 2018 Fiscal Year (such that the actual Adjusted EBITDA is calculated consistently with the Adjusted EBITDA Target as it relates to accounting principles); (3) all items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring (it being understood and agreed that Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 shall not constitute a limitation on any such determination); (4) losses, fees, charges or expenses with respect to litigation, investigations or other legal matters; and (5) all items of gain, loss or expense related to the sale or divestiture of a business; provided, however, that in determining

4



the actual level at which the Company Adjusted EBITDA has been attained, the associated amount under clause (1), clause (3) or clause (4) shall be excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA only to the extent the actual aggregate amount under clause (1), clause (3) or clause (4) exceeds the aggregate budgeted amount therefor that was included in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA Targets set forth in the Performance Goals Schedule.

(c) In the event the actual foreign currency exchange rate (determined as set forth below) for the GBP: U.S. Dollar for the 2018 Fiscal Year is lower than 1:1.32 (the “ GBP Floor ”), the final revenue and/or Adjusted EBITDA calculations for the Company will be adjusted using the GBP Floor. For the purpose of clarity, the GBP Floor will not be used to adjust the final revenues and Adjusted EBITDA calculations in the event the actual foreign currency exchange rates for the GBP: U.S. Dollar for such financial measures for the 2018 Fiscal Year are higher than the GBP Floor. For the purposes of this paragraph, an “actual foreign currency exchange rate” will be determined for each of year-end revenues and Adjusted EBITDA and calculated by (i) translating into U.S. Dollars the year-end revenues and Adjusted EBITDA amounts for the applicable non-U.S. subsidiaries in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical methodology for financial reporting purposes and (ii) dividing each such U.S. Dollars amount by its pre-translation (GBP) year-end revenues or Adjusted EBITDA amount, as applicable.

(d) In the event the Company acquires other companies or businesses during the 2018 Fiscal Year, the financial performance of those acquired entities shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Revenue Targets or Adjusted EBITDA Targets for the Company for the 2018 Fiscal Year have been achieved.

(e) Should the Company sell, divest or spin off a business during the
2018 Fiscal Year and the financial performance of such business was taken into account in
establishing the Revenue Targets and Adjusted EBITDA Targets set forth in the Performance Goals Schedule, then for the purpose of determining whether the Revenue Targets or Adjusted EBITDA Targets for the Company for the 2018 Fiscal Year have been attained, the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA calculations for the Company shall be made (1) by taking into account the actual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA performance of the divested business during the portion of the 2018 Fiscal Year preceding the closing of such sale, divestiture or spin off and (2) for the post-closing portion of the 2018 Fiscal Year, by assuming that the sold, divested or spun business attained the level of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA performance that was projected for that period by the Committee for purposes of establishing the “Target” bonus payout levels (i.e., payout level 6) for the Revenue Targets and Adjusted EBITDA Targets for the Company.

4.03 The Committee shall, within seventy-five (75) days following the close of the 2018 Fiscal Year, determine and certify on the basis of the Company’s financial statements for such fiscal year as publicly reported by the Company in connection with its earnings release related to the 2018 Fiscal Year (the “ Financial Statements ”), the actual level of attainment for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the 2018 Fiscal Year. Such certification shall be included as part of the formal minutes of the meeting at which such determinations are made. On the basis of such certification, the Committee shall determine the actual bonus award for each Participant. However, the Committee, in making such determination, shall not award a bonus in excess of the

5



dollar amount determined for the Participant on the basis of the bonus potential established for the particular levels at which revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the 2018 Fiscal Year are in fact attained unless the Committee determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. In the event that revenue or Adjusted EBITDA falls between two specified levels set forth in the schedule approved by the Committee, the resulting bonus amount shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis between those two points. In no event shall the bonus awarded to any Participant exceed the maximum dollar limitation of Section 4.05.

4.04 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02, no Participant shall earn or accrue any right to any portion of a bonus award hereunder until the Bonus Qualification Date.

4.05 In no event shall the actual bonus amount payable under this Plan to any individual Participant for the 2018 Fiscal Year exceed the dollar amount of Two Million dollars ($2,000,000).

V.
PAYMENT OF BONUS AWARDS

5.01 The actual bonus to which each Participant becomes entitled based on the certified level at which the Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Targets are actually attained for the 2018 Fiscal Year shall be paid in cash and/or direct issuances of common stock of the Company, subject to the Company’s collection of all applicable federal, state and local income, employment and payroll withholding taxes and the terms of the 2013 ICP. Schedule II attached hereto sets forth the bonus amounts payable to each Participant based on the level at which such Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Targets are attained. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02, the bonus payments shall be made in the 2019 calendar year but not later than March 15, 2019, with the actual payment date to constitute the Bonus Payment Date .

VI.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.01 The Committee may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, provided such action is effected by written resolution. Moreover, the Committee reserves the right to amend this Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).

6.02 No amounts awarded or accrued under this Plan shall actually be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Plan participants shall have the status of general creditors and shall look solely to the general assets of the Company for the payment of their bonus awards.

6.03 No Participant shall have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber his/her interest in this Plan or any bonus payable hereunder, and such interest shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the employee's creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law.


6



6.04 Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed so as to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries for any period of specific duration. Rather, each employee will be employed “at-will,” which means that either such employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause, subject in each case to any applicable benefits that may become payable under any employment agreement between such person and the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

6.05 The Plan shall be administered, operated and construed in compliance with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of the Plan would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code applicable to such short-term deferral exception, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that apply to such exception.

6.06 This is the full and complete agreement between the Participants and the
Company with respect to their incentive bonus compensation for the 2018 Fiscal Year and the related service period through the Bonus Qualification Date. This Plan does not supersede, but is supplemental to, any provisions of any employment agreement to which any of the Participants in this Plan may be a party.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Amendment ) is made and entered into effective as of April 23, 2018 (the Amendment Effective Date ), by and between John C. Walden (the Employee ) and FTD Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company ).
WHEREAS , the Company and the Employee entered into that certain Employment Agreement (the Agreement ) dated as of February 1, 2017; and
WHEREAS , the parties desire to amend the Agreement in the manner reflected herein.
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and conditions herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.
Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Sections 4(e) through (h) immediately following Section 4(d) thereof:

“(e)     Certain Other Specific Equity Awards . The awards described in Sections 4(e), 4(f), 4(g) and 4(h) of this Agreement will at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (or its successor(s)), as in effect from time to time (collectively, the Equity Plan ) as well as the award agreements for such awards.

(f)      2019 and 2020 Service-Based RSU Grants . On each of January 22, 2019 and January 22, 2020 (or in each case as soon thereafter as practical), provided that (unless otherwise described in this Section 4(f)) Employee remains employed by the Company at such time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee ) shall then take action to grant Employee certain service-based restricted stock units (or substantially similar award, the RSU Grant ). The number of restricted stock units ( RSUs ) subject to each RSU Grant will be equal to the quotient of (i) $1,250,000 divided by (ii) the greater of (A) $6.65 and (B) the average closing price of a share of Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of grant on the principal stock exchange on which such Common Stock then trades (such quotient rounded to the nearest whole RSU), and each RSU Grant will generally vest in substantially equal 25% amounts per year over four years from the date of grant. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(f), each RSU Grant will be substantially on such other terms and conditions (and subject in substance to such Award Agreement (as defined in the Equity Plan, “Award Agreement”)) as apply to the grant of RSUs made to Employee in January 2018 (subject to any differences as required or desirable under Section 409A of the Code); provided, however, that: (x) the terms and conditions of each RSU Grant will provide that the RSUs subject to such RSU Grant will be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined before or at the time of such settlement by the Committee; and (y) if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company “without cause” or by Employee for “good reason” (as each term is defined in this Agreement) during the Term (and Section 4(b) of this Agreement does not apply), then upon Employee’s satisfaction of the Release Condition set forth in Section 7(b) of this Agreement, the RSU Grants Employee holds on the date of such termination will fully vest on an accelerated basis. If any RSU Grant is not made to Employee due to Employee’s employment being terminated by the Company “without cause” or by Employee for “good reason” (as each term is defined in this Agreement), the Company shall provide Employee with additional cash severance equal in value to $1,250,000 for such RSU Grant that is not made to Employee, subject to the satisfaction of the Release Condition. Such additional cash severance shall be paid to Employee at the same time as set forth under this Agreement (including Sections 4(a) and 4(b) of this Agreement, as applicable) for the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a similar termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a) and 4(d) of this Agreement to the contrary, the acceleration provisions for the RSU Grants as described in this Section 4(f) shall also apply to the grant of RSUs made to Employee in January 2018 (subject to any differences as required or desirable under Section 409A of the Code); otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply. The RSU Grants shall not be

1



considered “excess Awards” pursuant to Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan.

(g)      2019 and 2020 Service-Based Stock Option and Tandem Rights Grants . On each of January 22, 2019 and January 22, 2020 (or in each case as soon thereafter as practical), provided that Employee remains employed by the Company at such time, the Committee shall then take action to grant Employee service-based stock options (or substantially similar award, the Option Grant ) and, at the option of the Committee, tandem stock appreciation rights (or substantially similar award, the Tandem Rights Grant ) with respect to 100,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price therefore shall be the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to the terms of this Section 4(g), each Option Grant and Tandem Rights Grant will generally vest in substantially equal 25% amounts per year over four years from the date of grant. Each Option Grant will be substantially on such other terms and conditions (and subject in substance to such Award Agreement as apply to the grant of Options made to Employee in January 2018 (subject to any differences as required or desirable under Section 409A of the Code). Each Tandem Rights Grant will be substantially on such other terms and conditions (and subject in substance to such Award Agreement) as approved by the Committee to operate in tandem with the related Option Grant as described in this Section 4(g), and will be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined before or at the time of such settlement by the Committee. If any Option Grant is made at a time when it constitutes an “excess Award” pursuant to Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(g), should such Option Grant terminate and cease to be outstanding under the terms of the last sentence of Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan, the Tandem Rights Grant made to Employee on the same date of grant as such Option Grant shall survive substantially as a stand-alone stock appreciation rights grant; but should such Option Grant not so terminate and cease to be outstanding solely as a result of the operation of the last sentence of Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan, then only such Option Grant (and not the Tandem Rights Grant made to Employee on the same date of grant as such Option Grant) shall be exercisable pursuant to its terms (there shall be no duplication of benefits under any Option Grant and its related Tandem Rights Grant). The Tandem Rights Grants shall not be considered “excess Awards” pursuant to Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan.

(h)      2019 and 2020 Performance-Based RSU Grants . On each of January 22, 2019 and January 22, 2020 (or in each case as soon thereafter as practical), provided that Employee remains employed by the Company at such time, the Committee shall then take action to grant Employee a target number of performance-based restricted stock units (or substantially similar award, the PSU Grant ), with each performance-based restricted stock unit ( PSU ) representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock after the PSU has vested or been earned. Under each PSU Grant, Employee may earn from 0% to 200% of the target PSUs based on performance with respect to the applicable performance metrics and goals involving Company adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ( AEBITDA ) and revenue. The number of target PSUs subject to each PSU Grant will be equal to the quotient of (i) $1,250,000 divided by (ii) the greater of (A) $6.65 and (B) the average closing price of a share of Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of grant on the principal stock exchange on which such Common Stock then trades (such quotient rounded to the nearest whole PSU), with the target PSUs split as evenly as possible between PSUs tied to AEBITDA performance and PSUs tied to revenue performance. Each PSU Grant will generally vest, if at all, based on performance for the applicable three-year performance period (covering the 2019-2021 performance period and the 2020-2022 performance period, respectively). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(h), each PSU Grant will be substantially on such other terms and conditions (and subject in substance to such Award Agreement) as apply to the grant of PSUs made to Employee in January 2018 (subject to any differences as required or desirable under Section 409A of the Code); provided, however, that the terms and conditions of each PSU Grant will provide that such PSU Grant will be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined before or at the time of such settlement by the Committee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) of this Agreement to the contrary, the acceleration provisions for the PSU Grants as described in their applicable

2



Award Agreements shall apply thereto. The PSU Grants shall not be considered “excess Awards” pursuant to Article V, Section V(D) (or a comparable section) of the Equity Plan.”

2.
Section 7(f)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby stricken in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(ii)    The remaining portion of the payments and benefits to which Employee becomes entitled under this Agreement, to the extent they otherwise qualify for the involuntary separation pay exception to Code Section 409A and they do not in the aggregate exceed the dollar limit described below and are otherwise scheduled to be paid no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee's separation from service occurs, shall not be subject to the holdback provisions of Section 7(e) and shall be paid to Employee as they become due and payable under this Agreement. For purposes of this subparagraph (ii), the applicable dollar limitation will be equal to two times the lesser of (i) Employee's annualized compensation (based on Employee's annual rate of pay for the calendar year preceding the calendar year of Employee's separation from service, adjusted to reflect any increase during that calendar year which was expected to continue indefinitely had such separation from service not occurred) or (ii) the compensation limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code as in effect in the year of such separation from service. To the extent the portion of the severance payments and benefits to which Employee would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement during the deferral period under Section 7(e) exceeds the foregoing dollar limitation, such excess shall be paid in a lump sum upon the expiration of that deferral period, in accordance with the deferred payment provisions of Section 7(e), and the remaining severance payments and benefits (if any) shall be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.”

3.
Section 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 12(f) immediately following Section 12(e) thereof:

“(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (or any ancillary agreement) to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement (or any ancillary agreement) prevents Employee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Employee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.”

4.
Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

5.
Except to the extent amended hereby, all terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and shall continue in full force and effect and the Agreement shall remain enforceable and binding in accordance with its terms.

6.
This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties consent to jurisdiction and venue in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Chicago.

7.
This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile signature pages), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single instrument.
