2022 Incentive Plan

In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2022 Incentive Plan”), which became effective May 25, 2022, upon approval by the Company’s stockholders. The 2022 Incentive Plan provides team members of the Company, certain consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company, and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors with the opportunity to receive grants of equity awards, including stock options, RSUs, PSAs, and other stock-based awards. The 2022 Incentive Plan replaced the 2013 Incentive Plan (as described below).

Upon adoption of the 2022 Incentive Plan on May 25, 2022, no further awards will be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding under the 2013 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan.
