On April 19, 2023, The Beauty Health Company (the “Company”) promoted Brad

Prior to Mr. Hauser’s appointment as Chief Operating Officer, he served as Chief
Product Officer of the Company since January 2023, where he oversaw product
development, R&D, regulatory and technology, with a focus on continuing to
advance the Company’s HydraFacial delivery systems and pioneer innovation. Mr.
Hauser brings more than 20 years’ experience in aesthetic device development and
marketing. Prior to joining the Company, he served as President and Chief
Executive Officer of Soliton within Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company until
July 2022. Mr. Hauser served as President and CEO of Soliton, Inc. from November
2020 until it was acquired by Allergan Aesthetics in December 2021. Previously,
he served as the Vice President, R&D and General Manager for CoolSculpting at
Allergan Pharmaceuticals since ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. was acquired in April
2017. Mr. Hauser served as the Senior Vice President of Research and Development
at ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. from January 2017 to April 2017 and as its Vice
President of Research and Development from July 2015 to January 2017. Mr. Hauser
joined ZELTIQ in December 2013 as Vice President of Product and Clinical
Strategy. Prior to joining ZELTIQ, he held multiple roles in the aesthetic
industry, including Executive Vice President of Commercial Operations for
Cutera, Director of Research and Development at Medicis, and Managing Director
of Product and Clinical Marketing at Solta Medical. Mr. Hauser received his
Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology from Stanford University.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Hauser and any other
person pursuant to which Mr. Hauser was appointed to serve as the Chief
Operating Officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr.
Hauser and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Mr. Hauser has
no direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed
transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Mr. Hauser’s promotion to the position of Chief Operating
Officer, effective April 19, 2023, Mr. Hauser will: (i) receive an annual base
salary of $475,000; (ii) receive a one-time promotional grant of restricted
stock units with an aggregate grant date value of $1,050,000 (the “RSU Award”),
and performance-based stock units with an aggregate grant date value of $350,000
(the “PSU Award”); (iii) continue to be eligible to participate in and earn a
cash performance bonus under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”), where
his annualized at-target bonus will remain at 60% of his base salary, with the
actual amount of any award under the AIP to be determined based on achievement
of specific levels of performance goals set by the board of directors of the
Company (the “Board”); and (iv) remain eligible to receive long-term incentive
awards under The Beauty Health 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) for
each fiscal year that Mr. Hauser remains employed with the Company, with any
such awards to be determined by the compensation committee of the Board. The RSU
Award will vest in equal, one-third increments on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant date of April 19, 2023, in each case subject to
continued service through the vesting date and certain acceleration rights. The
PSU Award will vest at the conclusion of a three-year performance period based
upon the achievement of pre-determined performance metrics determined by the
Board or compensation committee (as applicable) on the grant date, subject to
continued service with the Company through the vesting date.

Mr. Hauser will also participate in The Beauty Health Company Executive
Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”), which provides that upon a
termination of his employment without “cause” or for “good reason” (each as
defined in the Executive Severance Plan) before or more than 12 months after a “change in control” by the Company (as defined in the 2021 Plan), he will be
entitled to: (1) continued payment of his base salary for 12 months following
termination, (2) a prorated target annual bonus for the year of termination, and
(3) reimbursement of the employer portion of COBRA premium payments, where
applicable, for 12 months following termination.

If, within 12 months following the consummation of a “change in control” of the
Company, Mr. Hauser’s employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good
reason,” he will be entitled to receive the same severance benefits outlined
above, along with a cash payment equal to 100% of his target annual bonus for
the year of termination.

Any future severance payments and benefits to Mr. Hauser under the Executive
Severance Plan will be subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor
of the Company. The Executive Severance Plan also includes a Section 280G “best
pay” provision, which provides that if any amount received by Mr. Hauser
pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan or otherwise that would be subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, Mr. Hauser will be entitled
to receive the full amount of the payments and benefits or an amount reduced so
that no portion would be subject to the excise tax, whichever would result in
the largest payment to Mr. Hauser on an after-tax basis.

AIP will be determined based on achievement of specified levels of performance
goals set by the Company’s Board of Directors. The AIP may be amended or changed

granted on April 19, 2023 and will be weighted 75% restricted stock units
($1,050,000) and 25% performance-based stock units ($350,000). This Award will
be subject to the terms and conditions of The Beauty Health Company 2021
Incentive Award plan, subject to and contingent upon the approval of the
Incentive Plan by the Board and the stockholders of the Company, or any
successor plan, and an Award agreement entered between you and the Company.

You will also remain eligible to receive one or more grants of long-term
incentive awards for each fiscal year of employment with the Company. The amount
(if any), type, and terms and conditions (including vesting conditions) of any
such Award shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole
discretion.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for your efforts and continued
dedication to the Company!

Sincerely,
