FORM OF RETENTION EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR THE MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. STOCK AND CASH INCENTIVE PLAN
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into on <<GRANT DATE>> (the “Grant Date”) by MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. (the “Company”) and <<PARTICIPANT NAME>> (“Employee”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Marriott International, Inc. Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”); and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to award to designated employees certain Other Share-Based Awards as provided in Article 10 of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, Employee has been approved by the Compensation Policy Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to receive an award of “Retention Executive Restricted Stock Units” (“RSUs”) under the Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. Employee Acknowledgment. Employee has been provided with, and hereby acknowledges receipt of, a Prospectus for the Plan, which contains, among other things, a detailed description of the Other Share-Based Awards provisions of the Plan. Employee further acknowledges that he has read the Prospectus, the Plan and this Agreement (including the Country-Specific Addendum), and that Employee understands the provisions thereof.
2. Incorporation of Plan and Interpretation. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and form an integral part of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. A copy of the Plan is available from the Compensation Department of the Company upon request. All decisions and interpretations made by the Committee or its delegate with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan shall be binding and conclusive.
3. Grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms of the Plan and Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement, this award (the “Award”) of <<QTY GRANTED>> RSUs is made as of the Grant Date.
4. RSUs and Common Share Rights. The RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall be recorded in a Company book-keeping account and shall represent Employee’s unsecured right to receive from the Company the transfer of title to shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (“Common Shares”) in accordance with the schedule of Vesting Dates set forth in paragraph 5 below, provided that Employee has satisfied the Conditions of Transfer set forth in paragraph 6 below and subject to the satisfaction of the provision on withholding taxes and other Tax-Related Items set forth in paragraph 9 below. On each such Vesting Date, if it occurs, or such later date(s) pursuant to procedures established by the Committee under Article 10 of the Plan, the Company shall reverse the book-keeping entry for all such related RSUs and transfer a corresponding number of Common Shares (which may be reduced by the number of shares withheld to satisfy withholding taxes as set forth in paragraph 9 below, if share reduction is the method utilized for satisfying the tax withholding obligation) to an individual brokerage account (the “Account”) established and maintained in Employee’s name. Employee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Common Shares transferred to the Account, including but not limited to the right to vote the Common Shares, to sell, transfer, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Common Shares, and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Common Shares from the time they are deposited in the Account. Employee shall have no voting, transfer, liquidation, dividend or other rights of a Common Share stockholder with respect to RSUs prior to such time that the corresponding Common Shares are transferred, if at all, to Employee’s Account.
5. Vesting in RSUs. Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions of Transfer in paragraph 6, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the following schedule:
Vesting Date | Number of RSUs Vesting | |
<MM/DD/YYYY> | <##> | |
<MM/DD/YYYY> | <##> | |
<MM/DD/YYYY> | <##> |
In the event that any such Vesting Date is a day on which stock of the Company is not traded on the NASDAQ or another national exchange, then the Vesting Date shall be the next following day on which the stock of the Company is traded on the NASDAQ or another national exchange.
6. Conditions of Transfer. With respect to any RSUs awarded to Employee, as a condition of Employee receiving a transfer of corresponding Common Shares in accordance with paragraph 4 above, Employee shall meet all of the following conditions during the entire period from the Grant Date hereof through the Vesting Date relating to such RSUs:
a. | Employee must continue to be an active employee of the Company (“Continuous Employment”); |
b. | Employee must refrain from Engaging in Competition (as defined in Section 2.25 of the Plan) without first having obtained the written consent thereto from the Company (“Non-competition”); and |
c. | Employee must refrain from committing any criminal offense or malicious tort relating to or against the Company or, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, engaging in willful acts or omissions or acts or omissions of gross negligence that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation (“No Improper Conduct”). The Committee’s determination as to whether or not particular conduct constitutes Improper Conduct shall be conclusive. |
If Employee fails to meet the requirements relating to (i) Continuous Employment, (ii) Non-competition, or (iii) No Improper Conduct, then Employee shall forfeit the right to vest in any RSUs that have not already vested as of the time such failure is determined, and Employee shall accordingly forfeit the right to receive the transfer of title to any corresponding Common Shares. As used in this paragraph 6, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries.
7. Non-Assignability. The RSUs shall not be assignable or transferable by Employee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During Employee’s lifetime, the RSUs may be exercised only by Employee or, in the event of incompetence, by Employee’s legally appointed guardian.
8. Effect of Termination of Employment for Death/Disability. In the event Employee’s Continuous Employment terminates prior to the relevant Vesting Date by reason of death or Employee incurs a Disability (as defined in Section 2.19 of the Plan) prior to the relevant Vesting Date, and if Employee had otherwise met the requirements of Continuous Employment, Non-competition and No Improper Conduct from the Grant Date through the date of such death or Disability, then Employee’s unvested RSUs shall immediately vest in full upon death or Disability (as the case may be) and the distribution of the RSUs will occur as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.
8A. Non-Solicitation. In consideration of good and valuable consideration in the form of the RSU Awards granted herein to which Employee is not otherwise entitled, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in recognition of the Company’s legitimate purpose of avoiding for limited times competition from persons whom the Company has trained and/or given experience, Employee agrees that during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending one year following his termination of employment with the Company, whether such termination of employment is voluntary or involuntary or with or without cause, he will not, on his own behalf or as a partner, officer, director, employee, agent, or consultant of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly contact, solicit or induce (or attempt to solicit or induce) any employee of the Company to leave their employment with the Company or consider employment with any other person or entity. Employee and the Company agree that any breach by Employee of the non-solicitation obligation under this paragraph will cause the Company immediate, material and irreparable injury and damage, and there is no adequate remedy at law for such breach. Accordingly, in the event of such breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled immediately to seek enforcement of this Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction by means of a decree of specific performance, an injunction without the posting of a bond or the requirement of any other guarantee, any other form of equitable relief, and/or liquidated damages in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fair Market Value of the Awards granted hereunder as of the Grant Date, and the Company is entitled to recover from Employee the costs and attorneys’ fees it incurs to recover under or enforce this Agreement. This provision is not a waiver of any other rights that the Company may have under this Agreement, including the right to receive money damages. As used in this paragraph 8A, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries.
9. Taxes. The transfer of Common Shares shall be subject to the further condition that the Company shall provide for the withholding of any taxes required by applicable federal, state, or local law by reducing the number of RSUs to be transferred to Employee’s Account or by such other manner as the Committee shall determine in its discretion. As a condition to the grant, vesting and settlement of this Award and as set forth in Section 18 of the Plan, Employee hereby agrees to make adequate provision for the satisfaction of (and will indemnify the Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate for) any applicable taxes or tax withholdings, social contributions, required deductions, or other payments, if any (“Tax-Related Items”), which arise upon the grant, vesting or settlement of this Award, ownership or disposition of Common Shares, receipt of dividends, if any, or otherwise in connection with this Award or the Common Shares, including, if applicable, hypothetical tax obligations imposed under any expatriate tax policy maintained by the Company. Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate takes with respect to any or all applicable Tax-Related Items, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed any amount actually withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that Employee is solely responsible for filing all relevant documentation that may be required in relation to this Award or any Tax-Related Items other than filings or documentation that is the specific obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate pursuant to applicable law, such as but not limited to personal income tax returns or reporting statements in relation to the grant, vesting or settlement of this Award, the holding of Common Shares or any bank or brokerage account, the subsequent sale of Common Shares, and the receipt of any dividends. Employee further acknowledges that the Company makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items and does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Employee also understands that applicable laws may require varying Common Share or Award valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or Tax-Related Items that may be required of Employee under applicable laws. Further, if Employee has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee acknowledges that the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
10. Consent. By executing this Agreement, Employee consents to the collection, maintenance and processing of Employee’s personal information (such as Employee’s name, home address, home telephone number and email address, social security number, assets and income information, birth date, hire date, termination date, other employment information, citizenship, marital status) by the Company and the Company’s service providers for the purposes of (i) administering the Plan (including ensuring that the conditions of transfer are satisfied from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date), (ii) providing Employee with services in connection with Employee’s participation in the Plan, and (iii) meeting legal and regulatory requirements (“Permitted Purposes”). Employee’s personal information will not be processed for longer than is necessary for such Permitted Purposes. Employee’s personal information is collected from the following sources:
a. | from this Agreement, investor questionnaires or other forms that Employee submits to the Company or contracts that Employee enters into with the Company; |
b. | from Employee’s transactions with the Company, the Company’s affiliates and service providers; |
c. | from Employee’s employment records with the Company; and |
d. | from meetings, telephone conversations and other communications with Employee. |
In addition, Employee further consents to the Company disclosing Employee’s personal information to the Company’s third party service providers and affiliates and other entities in connection with the services the Company provides related to Employee’s participation in the Plan, including:
a. | financial service providers, such as broker-dealers, custodians, banks and others used to finance or facilitate transactions by, or operations of, the Plan; |
b. | other service providers to the Plan, such as accounting, legal, or tax preparation services; |
c. | regulatory authorities; and |
d. | transfer agents, portfolio companies, brokerage firms and the like, in connection with distributions to Plan participants. |
Where Employee’s personal information is provided to such third parties the Company requires (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that such parties, agree to process Employee’s personal information in accordance with the Company’s instructions.
Employee’s personal information is maintained on the Company’s networks and the networks of the Company’s service providers, which may be in the United States or other countries other than the country in which this Award was granted.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the transfer of Employee’s personal information to the United States or other countries other than the country in which this Award was granted is necessary for the Permitted Purposes. To the extent (if any) that the provisions of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council) and/or applicable national legislation derived from such Directive apply, then by executing this Agreement Employee expressly consents to the transfer of Employee’s personal information outside of the European Economic Area. Employee may access Employee’s personal information to verify its accuracy, update Employee’s personal information and/or request a copy of Employee’s personal information by contacting Employee’s local Human Resources representative. Employee may obtain account transaction information online or by contacting the Plan record keeper as described in the Plan enrollment materials. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, Employee further agrees to the same terms with respect to other Awards Employee received in any prior year under the Plan.
11. No Additional Rights. Benefits under this Plan are not guaranteed. The grant of Awards is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right or claim to any future grants of Awards under the Plan, nor does a grant of Awards guarantee future participation in the Plan, even if other Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past. All decisions with respect to this Award or future grants of any Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee. The value of Employee’s Awards is an extraordinary item outside the scope of Employee’s employment contract, if any. Employee’s Awards are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits (except as otherwise provided by the terms of any U.S.-qualified retirement or pension plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), or similar payments. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, Employee further agrees to these same terms and conditions with respect to any other Awards Employee received in any prior year under the Plan.
12. Amendment of This Agreement. The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or the Award shall adversely affect the Award in any material way without written consent of Employee.
13. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Company, may be delivered personally to the Compensation Department or such other party as designated by the Company or mailed to its principal office at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, addressed to the attention of the Stock Option Administrator (Department 935.40), and if to Employee, may be delivered personally or mailed to Employee at his or her address on the records of the Company. The Company may also, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Employee’s current or future participation in the Plan, this Award, any Common Shares, or any other Company-related documents by electronic means. By accepting this Award, whether electronically or otherwise, Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, including but not limited to the use of electronic signatures or click-through electronic acceptance of terms and conditions. To the extent Employee has been provided with a copy of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other documents relating to this Award in a language other than English, the English language documents will prevail in case of any ambiguities or divergences as a result of translation.
14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Company and, to the extent provided in the Plan, to the personal representatives, legatees and heirs of Employee.
15. No Effect on Employment. This Agreement is not a contract of employment or otherwise a limitation on the right of the Company to terminate the employment of Employee or to increase or decrease Employee’s compensation from the rate of compensation in existence at the time this Agreement is executed, subject to applicable law.
16. Additional (Non-U.S.) Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this Award, Employee acknowledges that applicable law (including but not limited to rules or regulations governing securities, foreign ownership, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters of any jurisdiction in which Employee may be residing or working at the time of grant of or while holding this Award or any RSUs) may prevent or restrict the issuance of Common Shares under this Award or any RSUs, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate assumes any liability in relation to this Award or any RSUs or Common Shares in such case. Moreover, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements, including additional terms and conditions, on Employee’s participation in the Plan, this Award, the RSUs and corresponding Common Shares, and any other award or Common Shares acquired under the Plan, or take any other action (including forfeiture of Awards or Common Shares or the forced sale thereof) without liability, if the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Employee agrees to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that the Company requires to accomplish the foregoing. Employee also acknowledges that applicable law may subject Employee to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Employee is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. Employee further understands and agrees that, unless otherwise permitted by the
Company, any cross-border transfer proceeds received upon the sale of Common Shares must be made through a locally authorized financial institution or registered foreign exchange agency and may require Employee to provide to such entity certain information regarding the transaction. Moreover, Employee understands and agrees that the future value of the underlying Common Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and may decrease in value. Employee understands that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate is responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuation between local currency and the United States Dollar or the selection by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign currency exchange rate that may affect the value of the Award (or the calculation of income or Tax-Related Items thereunder). Any additional requirements, restrictions, or terms and conditions as described in this paragraph 16 or other applicable disclosures may be set forth in, but are not limited to, the Company’s Policies for Global Compliance of Equity Compensation Awards or any other agreement or addendum that may be provided to Employee. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that the applicable laws of the country in which Employee is residing or working at the time of grant, vesting and settlement of the Award or the sale of Common Shares received pursuant to the Award (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject Employee to procedural or regulatory requirements. Employee agrees that Employee will be solely responsible for compliance with such requirements and will hold the Company and any of its affiliates harmless for any non-compliance with such requirements. Such requirements may be outlined in but are not limited to the Country-Specific Addendum (the “Addendum”) attached hereto, which forms part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein, Employee’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any applicable special terms and conditions or disclosures as set forth in the Addendum. Employee hereby agrees not to bring any claims against the Company or any of its affiliates for any penalties or other adverse consequences to Employee as a result of non-compliance with these laws/rules. Employee also understands that if Employee works, resides, moves to, or otherwise is or becomes subject to applicable law or Company policies of another jurisdiction at any time, certain country-specific notices, disclaimers, and/or terms and conditions may apply to Employee from the Grant Date, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
17. Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by U.S. Federal law, this Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from this Agreement, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Maryland and agree that any such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Maryland or the federal courts of the United States located in Maryland and no other courts.
18. Adjustments. Employee acknowledges that the RSUs and the Common Shares are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and in the Plan.
19. Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

Country-Specific Addendum
This Addendum includes additional country-specific notices, disclaimers, and/or terms and conditions that apply to individuals who work or reside in the countries listed below and that may be material to Employee’s participation in the Plan. Such notices, disclaimers, and/or terms and conditions may also apply, from the Grant Date, if Employee moves to or otherwise is or becomes subject to the applicable laws or company policies of the country listed. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that the applicable laws of the country in which Employee is residing or working at the time of grant, vesting and settlement of the Award or the sale of Common Shares received pursuant to the Award (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject Employee to procedural or regulatory requirements. Employee agrees that Employee will be solely responsible for compliance with such requirements and will hold the Company and any of its affiliates harmless for any non-compliance with such requirements. Employee hereby agrees not to bring any claims against the Company or any of its affiliates for any penalties or other adverse consequences to Employee as a result of non-compliance with these laws/rules. In addition, because foreign exchange regulations and other local laws are subject to frequent change, Employee is advised to seek advice from his own personal legal and tax advisor prior to accepting or settling an Award or holding or selling Common Shares acquired under the Plan. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Employee’s acceptance of the Award or participation in the Plan. Unless otherwise noted below, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning assigned to them under the Plan or the Agreement. This Addendum forms part of the Agreement and should be read in conjunction with the Agreement and the Plan.
Securities Law Notice: Unless otherwise noted, neither the Company nor the Common Shares are registered with any local stock exchange or under the control of any local securities regulator outside the United States. The Agreement (of which this Addendum is a part), the Plan, and any other communications or materials that you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities outside the United States, and the issuance of securities described in any Plan-related documents is not intended for public offering or circulation in your jurisdiction.
Algeria | Exchange Control Information Algerian residents must obtain prior authorization from the Bank of Algeria before acquiring assets abroad, including shares of a foreign company. |
Argentina | Foreign Exchange Restrictions US dollar transactions must be conducted through a financial intermediary authorized by the Argentine Central Bank. US dollar proceeds from the sale of stock by Employee, when remitted to Argentina, are subject to conversion to Argentine pesos at applicable exchange rates, as well as relevant regulations of the Central Bank. Depending on the amount, Employee may also be required to file certain documentation of the sale with the local bank or otherwise place the funds in a non-interest-bearing US dollar-denominated mandatory deposit account for a holding period of 365 days. As the restrictions may change, it is Employee’s responsibility to confirm the foreign exchange requirements with his/her local bank before any transfer of funds into or out of Argentina. |
Aruba | Repatriation Requirement You understand that you must repatriate any proceeds from the sale of Common Shares acquired under the Plan to Aruba if such proceeds exceed 300,000 Aruban Florins. |
Australia | Securities Law Notice This disclosure has been prepared in connection with offers to employees in Australia under the Plan (a copy of which is available upon request and free of charge, within a reasonable period following your request, from the Human Resources Manager at the hotel property or office where you work) and the Agreement (a copy of which is available at xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (login required)). It has been prepared to ensure that this grant and any other grant under the Plan (the “Offer”) satisfies the conditions for exemptions granted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) under ASIC Class order 14/1000. Any advice given to Employee in connection with the Offer is general advice only. It does not take into account the objectives, financial situation and needs of any particular person. No financial product advice is provided in the documentation relating to the Plan and nothing in the documentation should be taken to constitute a recommendation or statement of opinion that is intended to influence Employee in making a decision to participate in the Plan. This means that Employee should consider obtaining his own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by the ASIC to give such advice. Marriott International, Inc. will arrange for the Human Resources Manager at the hotel property or office at which Employee works to provide to you in writing, on the next business day following Employee’s request, the Australian dollar equivalent of the current market price of the underlying Common Shares subject to his or her Award (being the price published by NASDAQ as the final price of the Common Shares on the trading day prior to the date of Employee’s request). Issue of Award The Award will be issued for no consideration. Risks of Participation in the Plan Participation in the Plan and acquiring Common Shares in Marriott International, Inc. carries inherent risks. Employee should carefully consider these risks in light of his or her investment objectives and personal circumstances. Settlement Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, settlement of the Award shall be in Common Shares and not, in whole or in part, in the form of cash. |
Austria | Foreign Ownership Reporting Austrian nationals owning foreign securities (which are not being kept by an Austrian financial institution) are required to file an annual notification with the Austrian National Bank if the value exceeds €5 million at year-end. |
Belgium | Foreign Ownership Reporting If Employee is a resident of Belgium, Employee will be required to submit an annual form declaring Employee’s income or assets (including shares acquired under an employee share plan) held outside of Belgium to the National Bank of Belgium. The reporting should be completed prior to filing Employee’s annual Belgian income tax return. |
Brazil | Foreign Ownership Reporting If Employee is a resident of Brazil, Employee will be required to submit an annual declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”) if the aggregate value of such assets and rights (including any capital gain, dividend or profit attributable to such assets) is equal to or greater than US $100,000. The reporting should be completed at the beginning of the year. |
Canada | Securities Law Notice The security represented by the Award was issued pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation in Canada. Employee acknowledges that as long as the Company is not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction in Canada, the Awards and the underlying Common Shares will be subject to an indefinite hold period in Canada and subject to restrictions on their transfer in Canada. Subject to applicable securities laws, Employee is permitted to sell Common Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, assuming the sale of such Common Shares takes place outside Canada via the stock exchange on which the Shares are traded. Settlement in Shares Only Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, settlement of the Award shall only be made in Common Shares issued by the Company from treasury shares and not, in whole or in part, in the form of cash or other consideration. Employee Tax Treatment For Canadian federal income tax purposes, the Award is intended to be treated as an agreement by the Company to sell or issue shares to Employee and, as such, is intended to be subject to the rules in section 7 of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Under those rules, Employee will be considered to have received an employment benefit at the time of settlement of the vested Awards equal to the full value of the Common Shares received, which amount will be taxed as employment income and will be subject to withholding at source. Foreign Ownership Reporting If Employee is a Canadian resident, Employee’s ownership of certain foreign property (including shares of foreign corporations) in excess of CAD 100,000 may be subject to ongoing annual reporting obligations. Please refer to CRA Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) and consult your tax advisor for further details. Quebec: Consent to Receive Information in English The following applies if Employee is a resident of Quebec: The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that this Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English. Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la redaction en anglais de cette convention, ainsi que de tous documents exécutés, xxxx xxxxxx et procedures judiciaries intentées, directement ou indirectement, relativement à la présente convention. |
Chile | Securities Law Information Neither the Company nor the Common Shares are registered with the Chilean Registry of Securities or under the control of the Chilean Superintendency of Securities. Pursuant to General Rule 336, no public offering of securities is being made, and the Company is under no obligation to provide any disclosure or other information in Chile. Exchange Control Information It is Employee’s responsibility to make sure that Employee complies with exchange control requirements in Chile that may be applicable if the value of his or her stock transaction is in excess of US $10,000. According to the International Exchange Transaction Regulations (“IETR”) issued by the Central Bank of Chile, it is arguable whether the acquisition of Common Shares for which Employee does not remit funds abroad represents an “investment operation”. In case the acquisition qualifies as an investment operation under the IETR and the aggregate value of any Common Shares exceeds US $10,000, Employee must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within ten days of the settlement of the Award. If Employee’s aggregate investments held outside Chile exceeds US $5,000,000 (including the investments made under the Plan), Employee must report the investments annually to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report. Annual Tax Reporting Information The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad, which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments. These annual reporting obligations must be complied with by submitting a sworn statement setting forth this information before March 15 of each year. The forms to be used to submit the sworn statement are Tax Form 1853 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad” and Tax Form 1851 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Investments Held Abroad.” If Employee is not a Chilean citizen and has been a resident in Chile for less than three years, Employee is exempt from the requirement to file Tax Form 1853. These statements must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website: xxx.xxx.xx. |
China | Foreign Exchange Control Requirements Upon vesting of your Award, Common Shares will be issued to you and deposited in your account at the broker designated by the Company. Subject to the Agreement and any applicable trading restrictions, you may immediately sell such shares or hold the shares in the account to sell at a later date. However, you will not be permitted to move your shares out of the designated account other than upon the sale of such shares. You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you may be required to immediately repatriate to China any cash proceeds from the Common Shares or the sale thereof. You further understand that, under local law, such repatriation of your cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special-purpose foreign exchange account established by the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate, or your employer, and you hereby consent and agree that any proceeds from the sale of any Common Shares issued under the Plan may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. Further, if directed by the Company in its sole discretion, sale proceeds may be distributed to you in your individual USD account; you solely will be responsible for ensuring that you can receive USD deposits in your personal bank account. If the USD proceeds from the sale of your Common Shares are converted to local currency (RMB) prior to distribution to you, you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular foreign exchange conversion rate, and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to applicable restrictions in China. You agree to bear the risk of any conversion rate fluctuation between the date the Award vests and the date of conversion of the proceeds to local currency. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control or other requirements in China, including any tax payment or reimbursement obligations. To comply with its tax withholding obligations, the Company may condition distribution of sale proceeds on your payment (either through payroll withholding or through direct reimbursement to your employer) of any tax amounts due in relation to your Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, in the event of termination of employment for any reason, you are required to sell any Common Shares received under your Award within 90 days following termination of employment. If you fail to sell your Common Shares within 90 days after termination of employment, you hereby authorize the Company and its designated broker to sell any of the Common Shares on your behalf pursuant to this authorization. Common Shares will be sold on the market upon or shortly after 90 days after termination of your employment. Neither the Company nor the broker makes any representations or warranties regarding the sale price of such Common Shares.
