ManpowerGroup Inc. EXECUTIVE OFFICER PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
This Performance Share Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed as of _________________ by and between ManpowerGroup Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Corporation”), and _________________ (the “Employee”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Corporation has established the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation; and
WHEREAS, the Employee has been granted Performance Share Units under the Plan subject to the terms provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Employee hereby agree as follows:
1.Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan empowers the Administrator to make interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder, and, in general, provides that determinations of the Administrator with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon the Employee. Unless otherwise provided herein, all capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. A copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Employee upon reasonable request.
2.Terms of Award and Performance Goal. The Employee has been granted a Target Grant of ______ Performance Share Units under the Plan. The actual number of Performance Share Units that may be earned by Employee will be determined as described below, based upon the actual results for the Performance Period compared to the Performance Goal. If the Conditions are not satisfied, then except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or the Plan (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), no Performance Share Units shall be vested. The Performance Goal and the number of Performance Share Units that may be earned based on actual results for the average OPMP for the Performance Period will be as follows:
a. Initial Calculation of Performance Share Units Earned
Average OPMP for the Performance Period | Initial Performance Share Units Earned |
Threshold OPMP (___%) 50% of Target Grant
Target OPMP (___%-___%) 100% of Target Grant
Outstanding OPMP (___%) 200% of Target Grant
If actual OPMP for the Performance Period is below Threshold OPMP specified above, no Performance Share Units will be earned, and if actual OPMP for the Performance Period exceeds Outstanding OPMP specified above, the number of Performance Share Units earned will equal the number earned for Outstanding OPMP. Actual OPMP for the Performance Period between Threshold OPMP and Target OPMP shall result in a number of Performance Share Units earned determined on a linear basis between ___% and ___% OPMP. Actual OPMP that falls within the Target OPMP range of ___% to ___% shall result in 100% of the Target Grant being earned. Actual OPMP for the Performance Period between Target OPMP and Outstanding OPMP shall result in a number of Performance Share Units earned determined on a linear basis between ___% and ___% OPMP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the OP Dollar Gate of $___________ is not achieved during the Performance Period, the maximum number of Performance Share Units that can be earned will not exceed the Target Grant.
b. Committee Adjustment of Performance Share Units Earned
The Committee may negatively or positively adjust the number of Performance Share Units calculated in accordance with Section 2(a), above, by up to _____ percent (____%) based on the Committee’s determination, in its sole discretion, of the Corporation’s achievement of certain Key Performance Indicators during the Performance Period attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “KPIs”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall (i) reduce the number of Performance Share Units earned below the number of Performance Share Units earned for achieving Threshold OPMP, (ii) increase the number of Performance Share Units earned in excess of the number of Performance Share Units earned in Section 2(a) above for achieving Outstanding OPMP, or (iii) increase the number of Performance Share Units earned above the number of Performance Share Units earned for achieving Target OPMP if the OP Dollar Gate of $___________ is not achieved during the Performance Period. The Committee shall analyze the level of achievement with respect to the KPIs periodically over the
Performance Period and determine, within its sole discretion, whether and to what extent any adjustment shall be made in accordance with this Section 2(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee retains the discretion to decrease the number of Performance Share Units earned under this Award by any amount.
3.Award Payment. The number of Performance Share Units earned shall be paid in Shares in February of the year after the Performance Period as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee has approved and certified the number of Performance Share Units that have been earned hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards of Performance Share Units that become earned and vested upon the Employee’s death, Disability or a Triggering Event as provided in Sections 4 or 5(b) below shall be paid in Shares as soon as administratively practicable after such death, Disability or Triggering Event. Further, to the extent that Performance Share Units granted hereunder become earned and vested in connection with the Employee’s Regular or Qualified Retirement, or upon an involuntary termination of employment (other than for Cause) or voluntary termination for Good Reason as provided in Section 5(a) below, such Award shall be paid to the Employee in Shares as soon as administratively practicable after the date the Committee has certified and approved the number of Performance Share Units that have been earned hereunder or, if required in order to avoid the imposition of a Section 409A penalty tax to the Employee, the payment of the Award shall be further delayed until the first business day after the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Employee’s “separation of service” as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code.
4.Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Employee must be an employee of the Corporation or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “ManpowerGroup”) continuously from the date of this Award until the last day of the Performance Period in order for Employee to receive any Shares with respect to any Performance Share units he or she may earn hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 10(d)(2) and (3) of the Plan, regarding the earning and accelerated vesting of Awards upon a death, Disability or Retirement, shall not apply to this Agreement. Instead, upon Employee’s death or Disability during the Performance Period, Employee will immediately earn and become vested in the number of Performance Share Units the Employee would have otherwise earned if 100% of the Target Performance Goal had been achieved at the end of the Performance Period, with no adjustment under Section 2(b) above. In the event of Employee’s Regular Retirement during the Performance Period, Employee shall earn and become vested in a prorated number of Performance Share Units. The number of Performance Share Units earned and vested in connection with a Regular Retirement shall be the number of Performance Share Units determined by multiplying the number of Performance Share Units that would have been earned, taking into account the achievement of the Annual OP Dollar Gate during the Performance Period, if Employee had remained an Employee until the last day of the Performance Period, determined in accordance with the actual OPMP achieved at the end of the Performance Period, taking into account any adjustment pursuant to Section 2(b), above, by the quotient of (x) the number of full months between the first day of the Performance Period and the last day of the month in which the Employee’s Regular Retirement occurs divided by (y) 36 months. Upon Employee’s Qualified Retirement, Employee shall earn and become vested in the same number of Performance Share Units as a Regular Retirement, except that no proration shall be applied.
5.Triggering Event. Section 10(e) of the Plan, regarding the earning and accelerated vesting of Awards after a Triggering Event or during a Protected Period, shall not apply to this Agreement. Instead,
a. | If a Triggering Event occurs during the Performance Period, upon the Employee’s termination of employment by the ManpowerGroup other than for Cause or upon the Employee’s voluntary termination of employment for Good Reason during the two-year period following the Triggering Event (but not later than the end of the Performance Period), Employee shall earn and/or become vested in the number of Performance Share Units that would have been earned if Employee had remained an Employee until the last day of the Performance Period (as determined by the Committee, taking into account (i) treatment of Participants with similar grants whose employment has continued beyond the Performance Period, (ii) revised Performance Goals, if any, as agreed to between the relevant parties to the Triggering Event, and (iii) the Corporation’s achievement toward the Performance Goals and the KPIs at the end of the Performance Period, if measurable after the Triggering Event. |
b. | If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the ManpowerGroup other than for Cause or if the Employee voluntarily terminated his or her employment for Good Reason during a Protected Period, upon a Triggering Event, Employee shall earn and become vested in the same number of Performance Share Units that would have been earned if Employee had remained employed until the date of the Triggering Event and was terminated immediately thereafter (i.e., in the manner covered under Section 5(a) above). |
6.Dividends and Voting Rights. The Employee shall not be entitled to receive any dividends for his or her Performance Share Units and shall not be entitled to voting rights with respect to such Performance Share Units.
7.Taxes. The Corporation may require payment or reimbursement of or may withhold any tax that it believes is required as a result of the grant or vesting of such Performance Share Units or payments of Shares in connection with the Performance Share Units, and the Corporation may defer making delivery of any Shares in respect of Performance Share Units until arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation have been made with regard to any such payment, reimbursement, or withholding obligation.
