Compensation Committee Charter

Members

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Regis Corporation (the “Company”) has established a Compensation Committee of at least three members, consisting entirely of independent directors as defined and designates one member as Chairperson. For purposes hereof, an “independent” director is a director who meets the definition of “independence,” as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). Additionally, members of the Compensation Committee must qualify as “non- employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Purposes, Duties, and Responsibilities

The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of the

Board relating to compensation of the Company’s executive officers and directors and to produce the annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement. The duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to:

  • (a)  Oversee the Company’s executive officers’ compensation structure, policies and programs, and assess whether the Company’s compensation structure establishes appropriate incentives for such officers.

  • (b)  Approve the Company’s incentive-compensation and equity-based compensation plans.

  • (c)  Review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), evaluate the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and the feedback received from the annual review of the CEO conducted by the Chairman of the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and set the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation. The CEO will not be present during voting or deliberations on his or her compensation.

  • (d)  Approve or make recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of all other executive officers.

  • (e)  Approve stock option and other stock incentive awards for employees.

  • (f)  Review annually the compensation of directors for service on the Board and its committees and recommend changes in compensation to the Board.

  • (g)  Annually evaluate the performance of the Compensation Committee and the adequacy of the Committee’s charter.

  • (h)  Perform such other duties and responsibilities as are consistent with the purpose of the Compensation Committee and as the Board or the committee deems appropriate.

Subcommittees

The Compensation Committee may delegate any of the foregoing duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee consisting of not less than two members of the Compensation Committee.

Outside Advisors

The Compensation Committee will have the authority to retain or to obtain the advice of such outside counsel, experts, and other advisors as it determines appropriate to assist it in the full performance of its functions, including any compensation consultant used to assist the Compensation Committee in the evaluation of director or executive compensation, and shall have sole authority to approve the advisor’s fees and other retention terms. Prior to any such engagement or retention, the Compensation Committee shall first take into consideration all factors relevant to the advisor’s independence from management, including those specified in the Nasdaq rules. The Compensation Committee will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the compensation advisors so retained, and shall be provided by the Company with appropriate funding, as determined by the Compensation Committee, for the payment of reasonable compensation to any such advisors.

 

Meetings

The Compensation Committee will meet as often as may be deemed necessary or appropriate, in its judgment, either in person or telephonically, and at such times and places as the Compensation Committee determines. The Compensation Committee will report regularly to the full Board with respect to its activities.
