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

On December 31, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Nutrisystem, Inc. (the "Company") granted a special equity award to Dawn Zier, President and Chief Executive Officer, to further promote her retention and alignment with stockholders over the next several years.

The special equity award consisted of (a) 61,649 stock options, with an exercise price of $21.64 (equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2015), and (b) 51,987 performance-based restricted stock units. The stock options have a seven-year term and, subject generally to Ms. Zier's continued employment with the Company, vest in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock units will also vest, subject generally to Ms. Zier's continued employment with the Company, in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, but only if the Company's 2016 adjusted EBITDA exceeds a specified performance goal established by the Compensation Committee.

The descriptions of the stock option and performance-based restricted stock unit agreements for this special grant are qualified in their entirety by their respective award agreements, attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
