THE NEW

Rewarding balanced, sustainable business

FoundersAchievermentAward

Since our founding in 1959, Amway has been committed to enabling success for our ABOs. Our founders, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, started Amway as a way to help people everywhere start their own business and achieve their full potential.

The business was built on four Founders Fundamentals:

FREEDOM FAMILY HOPE REWARD

We believe that good work deserves appropriate recognition and financial reward. This change to FAA will better reward ABOs for building balanced, sustainable businesses and developing their downline leaders. This fundamental shift in FAA is taking place as a part of a global change to better align with the Core Plan. Amway is preserving full investment in the New FAA Bonus Program, and with this change, bonus payments will be redeployed to leaders with strong and balanced structures.

THE NEW PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED WITH SIX KEY PRINCIPLES IN MIND:

ALIGN WITH CORE PLAN

REWARD LEADERS FOR BUSINESS BUILDING EFFORTS

BONUS/REBATE CALCULATION New FAA Bonus Payment = Average Monthly Core Plan Bonus x

Multiplier (based on width and depth)

Average Monthly Core Plan Bonus/Rebate Calculation

The average monthly Core Plan Bonus/Rebate calculation is based on the twelve month distributor year. As an uncapped opportunity there is unlimited potential for financial success and stability.

All monthly Core Plan income is included in the average monthly Core Plan bonus/rebate calculation (including #1 and #2 businesses).

Monthly Core Plan bonuses are:

2% LB/Foster enhancement will also be included.

The following are not included in the average monthly Core Plan bonus/rebate calculation:

• GIP and Annual Core Plan bonuses

• ISD businesses do not count for income

If you have multiple businesses, they do not have to be qualified F. Platinum for bonus to count toward the calculation total.

Note: Bonus from #2 businesses will be converted into home market currency each month for the purpose of calculation

Super Legs CalculationA Super Leg is defined as a F. Platinum leg that contributes 30 points toward their FAA point total. If a business has qualified for the maximum multiplier, they are also eligible to receive a Super Leg bonus.

The bonus calculation is based on the number of Super Legs an ABO has built. There is no bonus paid for one Super Leg, but beginning with two Super Legs, each is worth $20,000 USD. Beginning with the 6th Super Leg, the bonus increases per leg to $40,000 USD - and there is no cap on earning potential.

Note: The Super Leg bonus is not PI adjusted and is worth the same amount no matter where the Super Leg exists.

Multiplier Calculation

The multiplier calculation is determined based on F. Platinum legs and points. F. Platinum legs and New FAA points are counted in total across all multiple businesses (#1 and #2). Both requirements must be satisfied to advance up the multiplier schedule. The maximum multiplier that can be achieved is 750% and is reached when a business has a minimum of 12 F. Platinum legs and a minimum of 150 points.

Note: In addition to multiple businesses, ISDs, Marketing Advisors and BSCs can contribute toward both F. Platinum legs and New FAA points.

FOUNDERS PLATINUM LEGSIn order for a leg to be counted as a F. Platinum leg, there must be a F. Platinum qualifier in the leg. Multiple business qualification does not contribute toward F. Platinum leg total, only downline F. Platinum legs of multiple businesses contribute. The following are also not included in the multiplier calculation:

• Q12 legs without a F. Platinum qualifier• Internationally sponsored F. Platinum

legs

Note: Volume equivalence F. Platinum qualification is counted equally as F. Platinum qualification.

POINTSPoints are calculated based on the number of leaders within each qualified F. Platinum leg. To earn any new FAA points down a F. Platinum leg, the #1/#2 business must be a F. Platinum. Points are additive within each F. Platinum leg, which have maximum contributions. A maximum of 6 points can be contributed by F. Platinum qualifiers within a F. Platinum leg. A maximum of 30 points can be contributed by a single F. Platinum leg.

Points are awarded based on the following values per qualifier:

• 1.0 for F. Platinum• 1.5 for EBR• 3.0 for DBR

Note: EBR and DBR must also be F. Platinum to count

There is no maximum to the number of points that EBRs or DBRs can contribute within a F. Platinum leg, up to the 30 allowed points. In order for a F. Platinum leg to contribute more than 1 point, the multiple business must be EBR in the local market. If not, the F. Platinum leg is capped at 1 point regardless of the number of qualifiers in the leg.
