On June 9, 2015, Margaret E. Sheetz, President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Medifast, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a 10b5-1 stock trading plan. The plan provides for the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) held by Ms. Sheetz. Under the plan, beginning June 10, 2015, a brokerage firm will be authorized to sell a certain number of shares of Common Stock periodically provided the price per share is above certain levels. The plan expires on May 31, 2016. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold over the duration of the plan is 100,000 shares.
The foregoing trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. Rule 10b5-1 allows individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time a stock trading plan is adopted to establish prearranged written plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of a company’s stock. The foregoing trading plan contains certain pre-determined minimum price conditions in order for trading to occur. The Plan provides for sales spread out over a set period of time with the goal of gradually diversifying the individual’s investment portfolio, while limiting market impact from such stock sales.
Transactions under the foregoing trading plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 and Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the extent required by law.
