Exhibit 10.2
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Unless otherwise defined herein, each term used in this Global Time-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including the general terms and conditions for all non-U.S. Participants and the additional terms and conditions for certain countries, all as set forth in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix” and, together with the Global Time-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the “Award Agreement”) and defined in the Amkor Technology, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will have the same meaning as is given to such term in the Plan.
Participant Name:
You have been granted the right to receive an Award of Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, as follows:
| Grant Number | |||||
| Date of Grant | |||||
| Vesting Commencement Date | |||||
| Number of Restricted Stock Units Granted | |||||
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (“Participant”) under the Plan as a separate incentive and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for Participant’s services, an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
2.Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in this Award Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the vesting provisions set forth in this Award Agreement, Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant has been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting is scheduled to occur. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise set forth in Section 4 of this Award Agreement, employment or other service during only a portion of the vesting period until the respective vesting date shall not entitle Participant to vest in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on such date.
[Insert Vesting Schedule]
3.Settlement.
(a)Subject to Section 7 hereof, promptly following each applicable vesting date (including any accelerated vesting date under Section 4), and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, either (i) pay to Participant an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares represented by the RSUs that vested as of the most recent vesting date or (ii) (a) issue and deliver to the Participant the number of Shares equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units and (b) enter Participant’s name on the books of the Company as the stockholder of record with respect to the Shares delivered to Participant.
4.Termination of Status as a Service Provider.
(a)Termination Due to Death or Disability. If Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated due to death or Disability before this Award is vested in full, this Award shall automatically and immediately vest in full.
(b)Termination Due to Retirement. If Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated due to Retirement (as defined herein) before this Award is vested in full, Participant shall become vested at the time of Retirement, with respect to that number of Restricted Stock Units that would next become vested under the Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the last vesting date and the denominator of which is 365. Any portion of this Award that is not vested following application of the preceding sentence shall terminate and automatically be cancelled as the date of Participant’s Retirement. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean Participant’s resignation from the Company (or the Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) on or after the date on which the sum of (i) Participant’s age (rounded down to the nearest whole month) plus (ii) the number of years (rounded down to the nearest whole month) that Participant has been a Service Provider, equals or is greater than seventy-five (75).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the Award when Participant’s status as a Service Provider terminates as a result of Participant’s Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of this Section 4(b) regarding the treatment of the Award when Participant’s status as a Service Provider terminates as a result of Participant’s Retirement will not be applicable to Participant and the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement will govern.
(c)Termination Following Change in Control. If Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated by the Company (or the Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) other than for Cause, or by Participant for Good Reason, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, this Award shall automatically and immediately vest in full. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) a material reduction in Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction in Participant’s base salary or bonus opportunity (other than a general reduction in base salary that affects all similarly situated executives in substantially the same proportions); or (iii) any material breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement.
5.Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, but subject to the vesting provisions set forth in this Award Agreement and Section 4 above, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested at the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason will be forfeited (with no consideration due to Participant) and Participant will have no further rights thereunder.
6.Death of Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate, Participant’s legal heirs or, provided such
2
designation has been permitted by the Company and/or is valid under Applicable Laws, Participant’s designated beneficiary. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
7.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a) Participant acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary to which Participant is providing services (the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Participant’s salary, wages or other compensation payable to Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iii) withholding Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units; or (iv) any method determined by the Administrator to be in compliance with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items becomes due, the Administrator will satisfy any applicable withholding obligation by directing the Company to withhold Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units.
(c) The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have received the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d) Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting of the Award, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8.Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested and are settled by the issuance of Shares in accordance with Section 3, the Share issuance is recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and certificates representing such Shares have been issued (if the Shares are certificated or evidence of book entry if the Shares are not certificated) and delivered to Participant. After such vesting, settlement, issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares for which such conditions are met, including voting and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. Participant shall not be entitled to any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock Units to reflect any dividends payable on Shares.
9.No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THESE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING AND SETTLEMENT SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR THE SERVICE RECIPIENT, AS APPLICABLE. TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
10.Appendix. For Participants outside the United States, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the general terms and conditions for all non-U.S. Participants and the additional terms and conditions for certain countries set forth in the Appendix attached hereto. Moreover, if Participant relocates from the U.S. to one of the countries included in the Appendix or if Participant relocates between countries included in the Appendix during the vesting period of the Restricted Stock Units, the general terms and conditions for non-U.S. Participants and the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

13.Waivers. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other participants.

APPENDIX TO
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Global Time-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes general terms and conditions for all non-U.S. Participants and additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units if Participant works and/or resides in one of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if Participant transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Restricted Stock Units are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to Participant.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2021. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out-of-date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or Participant sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s individual situation.
If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if Participant transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Restricted Stock Units are granted, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to Participant in the same manner.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
1.Data Privacy Information and Consent.
(a)Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards granted under the Plan or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Participant’s consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“E*TRADE”), an independent service provider which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with E*TRADE and such other service providers, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and E*TRADE are based in the U.S., which means that it will be necessary for Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the U.S. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the U.S. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data, where required, is Participant’s consent.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.

When the Company and/or the Service Recipient no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes to the fullest extent practicable.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s salary from or employment or service with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to Participant under the Plan or administer or maintain such awards.

To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant can contact his or her local human resources representative.
(g)Other Legal Basis and Additional Consent. Participant understands that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the collection, processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request Participant to provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, upon request of the Company or the Service Recipient, Participant will provide a separate executed data privacy agreement (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain from Participant for the purpose of
2
administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Participant’s country, either now or in the future.

(g)the future value of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
(j)neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units.
