PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
TELEFLEX INCORPORATED 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
THIS PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 22, 2018 (the “Grant Date”) between Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) and ___________________ (referred to herein as “Participant”). Terms used in this Agreement with initial capital letters without definition are defined in the Teleflex Incorporated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and have the same meaning in this Agreement.
1.Performance Stock Unit Award. On the Grant Date, pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Participant a Stock Award with a target number of _____ Stock Units (the “Target Award”). Each Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, a copy of which has been delivered or made available to Participant and is incorporated herein by reference.
The number of Stock Units that the Participant actually earns (up to a maximum of _____ Stock Units (the “Maximum Award”)) shall be determined by the level of achievement of the performance criteria set forth in Section 2 below over the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 (the “Performance Period”). The Stock Award is hereinafter referred to as the “Performance Stock Unit Award” or “PSU Award.”
2.Performance Goals. In connection with determining the amount of the PSU Award, the Plan Administrator has selected and established in writing certain performance criteria as set forth in the 2018-2020 Statement of Performance Goals (the “Performance Goals”) attached hereto. The Participant may earn all or a portion of the Target Award up to the Maximum Award based upon achievement of the Performance Goals. The number of Stock Units earned by the Participant for the Performance Period will be determined at the end of the Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals. All determinations of whether Performance Goals have been achieved, the number of Stock Units earned by the Participant, and all other matters related to this Section 2 shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
Within thirty (30) days after completion of the Company’s financial statements for the final year of the Performance Period, the Administrator will review and determine (a) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved, and (b) the number of Stock Units that the Participant shall earn, if any, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 3 and 4. Such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Participant and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
3.Vesting. The Stock Units are subject to forfeiture until they vest. The PSU Award, determined in accordance with Section 2, shall vest on February 27, 2021 (the “Vesting Date”), unless the Participant has a Termination of Employment prior to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control prior to both the Vesting Date and Participant’s Termination of Employment, the PSU Award shall vest in full as if all Performance Goals necessary to obtain the Target Award were satisfied, without any proration based on the portion of the Performance Period that has expired as of the date of such Change of Control.
4.Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan or this Agreement:
(a)In General. If Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs prior to the Vesting Date for a reason other than Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement: (i) the PSU Award will automatically be canceled and forfeited on the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment and Participant shall not be entitled to any further rights in respect thereof and (ii) the Company’s obligation with respect to the PSU Award shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(b)Death or Disability. If Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs due to Participant’s death or Disability before the Vesting Date set forth under Section 3, the PSU Award shall become vested in full effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment. The PSU Award that vests under this subsection (b) will equal the amount of the Target Award and will settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted under this subsection (b) shall not apply with respect to any Termination of Employment that becomes effective prior to June 30, 2019.
(c)Retirement. If Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs due to Participant’s Retirement before the Vesting Date set forth under Section 3, the PSU Award will vest on a pro-rata basis as of the Participant’s Termination of Employment as follows: the total number of Stock Units to which the Participant will be entitled will equal the number of Stock Units determined in accordance with the level of attainment of the Performance Goals, based upon actual performance as of the end of the Performance Period multiplied by the following fraction: (i) the numerator shall be the number of full months that the Participant was employed during the Performance Period and (ii) the denominator shall be the total number of months in the Performance Period. Any Shares represented by the pro-rated Stock Units that vest under this Section will settle on the Settlement Date that would have applied under the original schedule set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted under this subsection (c) shall not apply with respect to any Termination of Employment that becomes effective prior to June 30, 2019.
5.No Shareholder Rights. The PSU Award is a contractual obligation of the Company to issue shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Plan and this Agreement. As a result and notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in the Plan to the contrary, Participant (and Participant’s designated beneficiary) shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares until the date on which such Shares are issued to the Participant in settlement of the PSU Award. Therefore, among other things, the Participant (or beneficiary) shall not be entitled to receive any cash dividends paid on the Shares or to any voting rights in respect of the Shares until the date on which such Shares are issued to the Participant (or beneficiary) in settlement of the PSU Award.
6.Issuance of Shares. As soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date (or such other vesting date in the event of a Change in Control or the Participant’s death or Disability), Participant (or Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of Participant’s death) shall be issued Shares equal to the number of vested Stock Units as determined under this Agreement. The Company may elect to have such Shares issued pursuant to an electronic transfer to Participant’s (or Participant’s beneficiary) brokerage account or pursuant to a stock certificate or certificates registered in Participant’s (or Participant’s beneficiary) name representing such Shares. The date of such delivery of Shares is hereinafter referred to as the “Settlement Date”).
7.Non-Transferability. The PSU Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by beneficiary designation, will or by the laws of descent or distribution, including, but not limited to, any attempted assignment or transfer in connection with the settlement of marital property or other rights incident to a divorce or dissolution, and any such attempted sale, assignment or transfer shall be of no effect prior to the date the PSU Award is vested and settled in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties agree that there is no right to be heard or to appear before the Administrator or its designee and that any decision of the Administrator or its designee relating to this Agreement shall be final and binding unless such decision is arbitrary and capricious.

Unless Participant elects to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by an alternative means that is then permitted by the Company, Participant’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company to withhold on Participant’s behalf the number of Shares from those Shares issuable to Participant under this PSU Award as the Company determines to be sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation as and when any such Tax Withholding Obligation becomes due. In the case of any amounts withheld for taxes pursuant to this provision in the form of Shares, the amount withheld shall not exceed the minimum required by applicable law and regulations.

21.Headings. Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for the convenience of reference only. Section and subsection headings shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and they shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.
22.Acceptance. Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the PSU Award subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that there may
be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting or settlement of the PSU Award or disposition of the underlying Shares and that Participant has been advised to consult a tax advisor prior to such vesting, settlement or disposition.

The Participant understands that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, Shares held in the Company or any Subsidiary, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (the “Data”).

In addition, by accepting the PSU Award under this Agreement and the Plan, each Participant agrees and acknowledges (i) that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, manage, and administer the Plan; (ii) that the Participant may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data, or refuse or withdraw consent to the use and transfer of the Data, without cost, by delivering such revocation or withdrawal of consent in writing to a designated human resources representative; and (iii) that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan thereafter.

6. | Additional Adjustments |
Pro Forma Adjustments for Acquisitions and Divestitures
• | Except as set forth below with respect to distributor go-direct transactions, in the event the Company acquires any third party or all or substantially all of the assets of any third party (an “Acquired Business”) during the Performance Period, CCRG and EPSG for the year in which such acquisition occurs shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to include the actual results of the Acquired Business, and interest expense related to the purchase price for the Acquired Business, within the Company’s financial results for (a) any interim period prior to the acquisition date for the year in which the acquisition occurs and (b) the year preceding the year in which the acquisition occurs. In the event contingent consideration payments (a “Contingent Consideration Payment”) are made during the Performance Period with respect to an Acquired Business that is acquired during the Performance Period, EPSG for the year in which such Contingent Consideration Payment is made shall be calculated on a pro forma |
basis to include interest expense related to such Contingent Consideration Payment for both the current and preceding year.
• | In the event the Company divests any of its businesses (a “Divested Business”) during the Performance Period, CCRG and EPSG for the year in which such divestiture occurs shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to exclude the actual results of the Divested Business from the Company’s financial results, and include interest savings related to the proceeds from the Divested Business, for (a) any interim period prior to the divestiture date for the year in which the divestiture occurs and (b) the year preceding the year in which the divestiture occurs. In the event a Contingent Consideration Payment is received during the Performance Period with respect to a Divested Business that is divested during the Performance Period, EPSG for the year in which such Contingent Consideration Payment is received shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to include interest savings related to such Contingent Consideration Payment for both the current and preceding years. |

Changes in Accounting Rules and Applicable Laws
• | Actual CCRG and EPSG results shall be adjusted to eliminate the impact of any changes in accounting rules or the application thereof and changes in applicable laws, to the extent not contemplated as part of the Company’s longer-term business plan. |
7. | Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR) Performance Goal |
For purposes of this Statement and the Agreement, the following definitions apply:
Relative Total Shareholder Return or RTSR means the percentile rank of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to (but not included in) the Total Shareholder Returns of all members.
Total Shareholder Return means, with respect to each of the Company’s common stock and the common stock of each of the members of the Peer Group (set forth in Item 7 below), a rate of return reflecting stock price appreciation from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of calculating Total Shareholder Return for each of the Company and the members of the Peer Group, the beginning stock price will be based on the average of the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Period on the principal stock exchange on which the stock then traded and the ending stock price will be based on the average of the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the last day of the Performance Period on the principal stock exchange on which the stock then trades.
Determination and Application of RTSR Modifier. The total number of Stock Units that become earned pursuant to Section 4 and Section 5 of this Statement (i.e., the sum of the CCRG Stock Units and the EPSG Stock Units) shall be adjusted, either upwards or downwards, in accordance with the tables below based on the Company’s RTSR Percentile Ranking for the Performance Period as follows:
