Exhibit

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of __________, 2019 (the “Grant Date”), is between Regis Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and Chad Kapadia (the “Participant”).

WHEREAS, the Participant is a valued and trusted employee of the Company and the Company desires to grant the Participant an award of Restricted Stock Units which afford the Participant an opportunity to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Regis Corporation 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

(a) “Good Reason” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Participant’s employment agreement with the Company; provided, however, that in order for the Termination of Employment to constitute a Termination of Employment for Good Reason, Participant must terminate employment no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of the applicable cure period, or (ii) if there is no such employment agreement with the Company, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence, without the express written consent of the Participant, of any of the following:

(B) any reduction by the Company in the Participant’s base salary then in effect or target bonus percentage (other than any reduction mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Participant), other than an across the board reduction of not more than 10% that applies to all other executives who report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or

(C) following a Change in Control, failure by the Company to continue in effect (without substitution of a substantially equivalent plan or a plan of substantially equivalent value) any compensation plan, bonus or incentive plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health plan, disability plan or other benefit plan or arrangement in which the Participant is then participating;

provided that the Participant notifies the Company of such condition set forth in clause (A), (B) or (C) within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and the Company fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice (the “Cure Period”) and the Participant delivers written notice of termination of employment to the Company’s General Counsel within thirty (30) days following the end of the Cure Period, designating an employment termination date no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of the Cure Period.

(b) “Qualifying Termination” means a Termination of Employment (A) without Cause (other than a result of death or Disability) or for Good Reason within 12 months following a Change in Control or (B) due to death or Disability.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant ( ) Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”), with no obligation to pay cash or other property for such RSUs. The RSUs will be credited to an account in the Participant’s name maintained by the Company. This account shall be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with each RSU representing an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to issue to the Participant one share of the Company’s Common Stock in settlement of a vested RSU.

(b) 100% of the RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to Participant’s continued employment with the Company through such anniversary and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2(b), if the Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination, then the Applicable Portion of the RSUs immediately shall vest as of the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the “Applicable Portion of the RSUs” has the meaning set forth below:

Applicable Portion of the RSUs

a number of RSUs equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number RSUs by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the Grant Date through the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the number of days between the Grant Date and the third anniversary of the Grant Date

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, if Participant’s RSUs are considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, a Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred only if on such date the Participant has also experienced a “separation from service” as defined in the regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, if Participant’s RSUs are considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of settling vested RSUs only if such event would also be deemed to constitute a change in ownership or effective control, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of the Company under Code Section 409A.

(f) In the event that Participant’s Termination of Employment would qualify Participant for accelerated vesting under more than one type of Qualifying Termination, the type of Qualifying Termination that provides for the vesting of the greatest number of RSUs shall apply.

Subject to any accelerated vesting under Sections 2(c), and any exercise of the Committee’s discretion under Section 8.3(4) of the Plan, if the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment, any unvested RSUs shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no further interest in, or right to receive shares of Common Stock in settlement of, such RSUs.

Subject to Section 21, after any RSUs vest pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days following the date on which the RSUs vest), cause to be issued and delivered to the Participant one share of Common Stock in payment and settlement of each vested RSU. Delivery of the shares shall be effected by the delivery of a stock certificate evidencing the shares, by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to the Participant, or by the electronic delivery of the shares to a brokerage account designated by the Participant, and shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 8 and compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including compliance with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested RSUs. Upon settlement of the RSUs, the Participant will obtain, with respect to the shares of Common Stock received in such settlement, full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

The RSUs subject to this Award do not entitle the Participant to any rights of a holder of the Company’s Common Stock. The Participant will not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company in connection with the grant of the RSUs unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in settlement of the RSUs as provided in Section 4.

If a cash dividend is declared and paid by the Company with respect to its Common Stock, the Participant will be credited as of the applicable dividend payment date with an additional number of RSUs (the “Dividend RSUs”) equal to (i) the total cash dividend the Participant would have received if the number of RSUs credited to the Participant under this Agreement as of the related dividend payment record date (including any previously credited Dividend RSUs) had been actual shares of Common Stock, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the applicable dividend payment date (with the quotient rounded down to the nearest whole number). Once credited to the Participant’s account, Dividend RSUs will be considered RSUs for all purposes of this Agreement.

Neither the Award evidenced by this Agreement nor the RSUs may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void.

Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any way for the tax consequences relating to the award of RSUs, their vesting and the settlement of vested RSUs in shares of Common Stock. The Participant agrees to determine and be responsible for any and all tax consequences to the Participant relating to the award, vesting and settlement of RSUs hereunder. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the provisions of Section 13.4 of the Plan regarding the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall apply (including any required payments by the Participant).

The Plan and this Award of RSUs are administered by the Committee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Actions and decisions made by the Committee in accordance with this authority shall be effectuated by the Company.

The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. The grant of RSUs is made pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, and of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement, and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan, shall be final and binding upon the Participant. The Company shall, upon written request therefore, send a copy of the Plan, in its then current form, to the Participant or any other person or entity then entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock to be issued in settlement of the RSUs.

The Company may recover any equity awarded to the Participant under this Agreement, or proceeds from the sale of such equity, to the extent required by any rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any listing standard of the New York Stock Exchange, including any rule or listing standard requiring recovery of incentive compensation in connection with an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, which recovery shall be subject to the terms of any policy of the Company implementing such rule or listing standard.

Neither this Agreement nor the Award evidenced hereby shall give the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, any Affiliate or any other entity, or create any inference as to the length of employment of the Participant, or affect the right of the Company (or any Affiliate or any other entity) to terminate the employment of the Participant (with or without Cause), or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company, any Affiliate or any other entity.

The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock in settlement of RSUs granted under this Agreement if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation of any provision of any applicable law or regulation of any governmental authority. The Company shall have no duty or obligation beyond those imposed by applicable securities laws generally to affirmatively disclose to the Participant or a Representative, and the Participant or Representative shall have no right to be advised of, any material non-public information regarding the Company or an Affiliate at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Participant’s RSU Award.

This Agreement, the awards of RSUs hereunder and the issuance of Common Stock in payment of RSUs shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Minnesota (other than its laws respecting choice of law).

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire obligation of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to this transaction.

The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time.

If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 4, if any amount shall be payable with respect to this Award as a result of the Participant’s “separation from service” at such time as the Participant is a “specified employee” (as those terms are defined in regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A) and such amount is subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, then no payment shall be made, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first day of the seventh calendar month beginning after the Participant’s separation from service (or the date of Participant’s earlier death), or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. Participant shall not have the right to designate the timing of settlement of the RSUs. If the thirty-day settlement period spans two different calendar years, settlement shall occur during the later calendar year.
