Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 24, 2023, Mark H. Lawrence notified Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The resignation will be effective as of March 31, 2023. Mr. Lawrence will remain with the Company as a senior advisor through April 2023 to support a smooth transition following the conclusion of his service as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

On March 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed James D. Thomas, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, as Interim CFO, effective upon Mr. Lawrence’s departure as CFO. Mr. Thomas is expected to serve until the Company completes a search and appoints a permanent CFO. It is expected that the search will include both internal and external candidates.

Mr. Thomas, age 44, joined the Company in 2010 and has served as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer since 2019. He previously served as Vice President of Finance and Accounting from 2017 until his promotion to Chief Accounting Officer. He also has served as Corporate Controller and as an Internal Auditor at the Company. Before joining the Company, he worked as an Assistant Controller of another publicly reporting company and served in the assurance practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Mr. Thomas holds B.S. and Master of Accounting degrees from Utah State University.

As Interim CFO, Mr. Thomas will earn an annual salary of $400,000, and his target incentive bonus will be 50% of his annual salary. He also will be granted restricted stock units having a value of approximately $250,000, which will vest in two equal annual installments in February 2024 and 2025. It is expected that Mr. Thomas will enter into an indemnification agreement with the Company that is substantially identical to the form of indemnification agreement that the Company has entered into with its other executive officers and directors.
 
Mr. Thomas does not have a family relationship with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers, and the Company does not have any reportable related-person transactions involving Mr. Thomas. Other than as described herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Thomas and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Thomas was selected as Interim CFO.
