PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

April 26, 20172018

The Board of Directors of Unisys Corporation solicits your proxy for use at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 26, 20172018 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. At the annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to (1) elect directors, (2) ratify the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (3) approve, an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000; (4) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (5) vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency with which the Company should hold an advisory vote on executive compensation and (6)(4) transact any other business properly brought before the meeting.

The record date for the annual meeting is February 27, 2017.26, 2018. Only holders of record of Unisys common stock as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to vote at the meeting. On the record date, 50,397,10150,639,210 shares of common stock were outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of those shares will constitute a quorum at the meeting.

This proxy statement, the proxy/voting instruction card and the annual report of Unisys, including the financial statements for 2016,2017, are being made available to stockholders on or about March  17, 2017.16, 2018.

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials; Multiple Sets of Proxy Materials

Pursuant to the “notice and access” rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company has elected to provide stockholders access to its proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, the Company sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to most stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery of proxy materials). The Notice includes instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet, how to vote online and how to request a printed copy of these materials. In addition, by following the instructions in the Notice, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

If you hold shares of Unisys common stock in more than one account, you may receive more than one Notice or more than one set of proxy materials. Please be sure to vote all the shares that you own.

 

LOGOLOGO 1


Voting Procedures and Revocability of Proxies

Your vote is important. Shares may be voted at the annual meeting only if you are present in person or represented by proxy. You can vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by submitting a proxy by mail or by telephone by following the instructions provided on the proxy/voting instruction card. If you have previously elected to receive proxy materials over the Internet, you should have already received email instructions on how to vote electronically.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by writing to the Corporate Secretary of Unisys, by timely delivery of a properly executed later-dated proxy (including an Internet or telephone vote) or by voting in person at the meeting.

The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to vote at the meeting if you later decide to attend in person. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record if you wish to vote in person at the meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record and you properly complete, sign and return your proxy, and do not revoke it, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If your signed and returned proxy gives no instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares (1) FOR the election of directors, (2) FOR the ratification of the selection of independent registered public accounting firm, (3) FOR the proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, (4) FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, (5) for the approval, on an advisory basis, of an advisory vote on executive compensation EVERY YEAR and (6)(4) in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the annual meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not provide specific voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares, the organization will be prohibited under the current rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) from voting your shares on“non-routine” matters. This is commonly referred to as a “brokernon-vote”. The election of directors and the advisory resolution regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and the vote regarding the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation are considered“non-routine” matters and therefore may not be voted on by your bank or broker absent specific instructions from you. The ratification of the selection of independent registered public accounting firm and the proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation areis considered “routine” and therefore may be voted on by your bank or broker without instructions from you. Please instruct your bank or broker so your vote can be counted.

If you are a participant in the Unisys Savings Plan, the proxy/voting instruction card will serve as voting instructions to the plan trustee for shares of Unisys common stock credited to your account as of February 27, 2017.26, 2018. The trustee will vote those shares in accordance with your instructions if it receives your completed proxy by April 23, 2017.2018. If the proxy is not timely received, or if you give no instructions on a matter to be voted upon, the trustee will vote the shares credited to your account in the same proportion as it votes those shares for which it received timely instructions from other participants.

Required Vote

Each share of Unisys common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

LOGO 2


Election of Directors (Item 1). Directors will be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. This means that a nominee will be elected if the number of votes cast “FOR” his or her election exceeds 50% of the total number of votes cast with respect to that nominee’s election. Votes cast with respect to the election of directors do not include abstentions and brokernon-votes.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Item 2). The proposal to ratify the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter. Any shares not voted by abstention or otherwise will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal. There will be no brokernon-votes for the proposal to ratify the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since brokers will be entitled to vote on this “routine” proposal.

Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Item 3). The proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote. Any shares not voted by abstention or otherwise will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal. There will be no brokernon-votes for the proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation since brokers will be entitled to vote on this “routine” proposal.

Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation (Item 4)3). The advisory resolution to approve executive compensation will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter. Any shares not voted by abstention or otherwise will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal. Brokernon-votes will not be included in the vote totals and therefore will have no effect on the advisory vote on executive compensation.

Advisory Vote on Frequency of Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation (Item 5). Stockholders will have the option of selecting a frequency of every year, every two years or every three years for theThe advisory vote on executive compensation. The Company will consider the alternative receiving the greatest number of votes as the frequency the stockholders approve. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will therefore have no effect on the vote.

However, the Company will review and consider the results of thesethis advisory votesvote when making future executive compensation decisions and when making determinations as to when the Company will again submit the advisory vote on executive compensation to stockholders for approval.decisions.

Board Meetings; Attendance at Annual Meetings

The Board of Directors held eightfive meetings in 2016.2017. During 2016,2017, all directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and standing committees on which they served (held during the period when the director served).

It is the Company’s policy that all directors should attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the Company’s current directors who were directors at the time of the 20162017 annual meeting attended that meeting.

Independence of Directors

All of the Company’s directors and nominees for director other than Mr. Altabef meet the independence requirements prescribed by the NYSE and, in the case of members of the Audit and Finance Committee, also meet the audit committee independence requirements prescribed by the SEC. In assessing whether a director or nominee has a material relationship with Unisys (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Unisys), the Board uses the criteria outlined below in paragraph 2 of “Corporate Governance Guidelines”. Allnon-employee directors met these criteria in 2016.2017.

LOGO 12


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Members: Dr. Cohon, Ms. Davis, Ms. Kenne and Mr. Roberts (chair)

Number of Meetings: 6

Independence and Qualifications: The Board has determined that each of Dr. Cohon, Ms. Davis, Ms. Kenne and Mr. Roberts qualifies as independent under the listing standards of the NYSE.

Purpose: The Compensation Committee (1) oversees the compensation of the Company’s elected executive officer and other executives who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, (2) oversees the compensation-related policies and programs involving the Company’s executive management and the level of benefits of officers and key employees and (3) reviews the senior executive succession plan and the senior executive leadership development process as presented by the Chief Executive Officer. The committee regularly reviews and approves the Company’s executive compensation strategy and principles to ensure that they are aligned with the Company’s business strategy and objectives and with stockholder interests. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and makes recommendations to the independent members of the Board concerning the compensation level of the Chief Executive Officer. The committee also annually reviews and approves compensation levels of the other elected officers. In this regard, the committee solicits input from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of those executives who report directly to him. The Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board the adoption of director compensation programs. The Company’s guidelines regarding the compensation of directors are described more fully in paragraph 11 of “Corporate Governance Guidelines” below. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee also annually reviews management’s assessment of risk as it relates to the Company’s compensation arrangements. As is discussed more fully below in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, the Compensation Committee regularly receives reports and recommendations from management and from the committee’s outside compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. In 2016, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners (“Pearl Meyer”) as its outside compensation consultant. During 2016, Pearl Meyer and its affiliates did not provide any additional services to the Company or its affiliates, and the work of Pearl Meyer has not raised any conflict of interest. Under its charter, the committee also may consult with legal, accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, and may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.

LOGO 13


NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

Members:Mr. Davis, Ms. Fletcher (chair), Mr. Germond and Ms. Kenne

Number of Meetings: 4

Independence and Qualifications: The Board has determined that each of Mr. Davis, Ms. Fletcher, Mr. Germond and Ms. Kenne qualifies as independent under the listing standards of the NYSE.

Purpose: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and reviews candidates and recommends to the Board of Directors nominees for membership on the Board of Directors. The director nomination process and the factors considered by the committee when reviewing candidates are described below in “Director Nomination Process.” It also oversees the Company’s corporate governance. As a part of this responsibility, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the evaluation of the Board of Directors, including reviewing annually with the Board the independence of outside directors and annually facilitating the Board’s self-assessment of its performance.

Director Nomination Process

As part of the nomination process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of new Board members in the context of the currentmake-up of the Board and for identifying qualified candidates for Board membership. In so doing, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, with input from the Board, those factors it deems appropriate, such as independence, experience, expertise, strength of character, mature judgment, leadership ability, technical skills, diversity, age and the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board. The aim is to assemble a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and that consists of individuals who bring a variety of complementary attributes and who, taken together, have the appropriate skills and experience to oversee the Company’s business. In February 2017, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board elected, one new director, Mr. Martin. As part of the selection process, the Board considered his extensive executive management experience across the entire IT industry, his international experience and his deep life sciences and healthcare expertise.

As set forth above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity as one of a number of factors in identifying nominees for director. It does not, however, have a formal policy in this regard. The committee views diversity broadly to include diversity of experience, skills and viewpoint as well as traditional diversity concepts such as race and gender.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives suggestions for new directors from a number of sources, including Board members. It also may, in its discretion, employ a third-party search firm to assist in identifying candidates for director. The committee will also consider recommendations for Board membership received from stockholders and other qualified sources. Recommendations on director candidates must be in writing and addressed to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, 801 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422.

LOGO 14


The full Board is responsible for final approval of new director candidates, as well as the nomination of existing directors for reelection. With respect to existing directors, prior to making its recommendation to the full Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, reviews each director’s continuation on the Board as a regular part of the annual nominating process. Specific information on the qualifications of each of the Company’s directors is included above.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board of Directors or to thenon-employee directors as a group by writing to them c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, 801 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422. All communications directed to Board members will be delivered to them.

Board Leadership Structure

As set forth in paragraph 4 of “Corporate Governance Guidelines” below, the Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make the selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at any given point in time. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from thenon-employee directors or should be an employee. Over the last twelve years, the Company has had each of the following leadership structures, reflecting its circumstances at the time: separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with the Chairman being a member of the Company’s management (2005); combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (2008 to 2014); and separatenon-employee Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (2006 to 2008 and 2015 to present). Pursuant to the Company’s governance guidelines, whenever the Chairman is an employee of the Company, the Board elects a lead director from its independent directors.

Risk Oversight

In its oversight role, the Board of Directors annually reviews the Company’s strategic and operating plans, which address, among other things, the risks and opportunities facing the Company. The Board also has overall responsibility for executive officer succession planning and reviews succession plans each year. The Board has delegated certain risk management oversight responsibility to the Board committees. As part of its responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for discussing with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. In this regard, the Company’s chief audit executive prepares annually a corporate risk assessment report and provides that report to the Board of Directors each year. This report identifies the material business risks (including strategic, operational, financial reporting and compliance risks) for the Company and identifies the controls and management initiatives that respond to and mitigate those risks. The Company’s management regularly evaluates these controls, and the chief audit executive periodically reports to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding their design and effectiveness. The Audit and Finance Committee also receives annual reports from management on the Company’s ethics program and on environmental compliance, regularly

LOGO 15


reviews with management the Company’s financial arrangements, capital structure and the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, and oversees the allocation policies with respect to the Company’s pension assets, as well as the performance of pension plan investments. As part of its responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Compensation Committee annually reviews management’s assessment of risk as it relates to the Company’s compensation arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and their implementation. Each committee regularly reports to the full Board.

Compensation of Directors

The Company’snon-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $60,000. Mr. Weaver receives an additional $100,000 annual retainer for serving as Chairman of the Board. In February 2016, the Board eliminated the meeting fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance at certain additional Board and committee meetings, increased the annual committee chair retainers and added annual committee member retainers. Currently, the chair of the Audit and Finance Committee receives a $26,000 annual retainer, the chair of the Compensation Committee receives a $19,000 annual retainer and the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives a $16,250 annual retainer. Each other member of the Audit and Finance Committee receives a $12,000 annual retainer and each other member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives a $7,500 annual retainer. Prior to adopting these changes, the Board considered an assessment of ournon-employee director compensation provided by Pearl Meyer, which took into account the director compensation and practices of the peer group companies used as a frame of reference in assessing our executive compensation. The new fee amounts were aligned with the median amounts provided by our peer group companies at the time of assessment. On February 11, 2016, eachnon-employee director at the time of the Board meeting on that date received an annual grant of 15,000 restricted stock units having a value of $150,000 based on the fair market value of Unisys common stock on that date that vested immediately. On April 28, 2016, Mr. Germond received an annual grant of 18,964 restricted stock units having a value of $150,005 based on the fair market value of Unisys common stock on that date that vested immediately. Directors may defer receipt of these restricted stock units until termination of service, or until a specified date, under the Company’s deferred compensation plan for directors.

The annual retainers described above are paid in monthly installments in cash. However, directors may choose, on an annual basis, to receive these fees in the form of common stock equivalent units. The value of each stock unit at any point in time is equal to the value of one share of Unisys common stock. Stock units are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each director. A director’s stock unit account is payable in Unisys common stock, either upon termination of service or on a date specified by the director, at the director’s option. Directors do not have the right to vote with respect to any stock units. Directors also may defer until termination of service, or until a specified date, all or a portion of their cash fees under the Company’s deferred compensation plan for directors. Under this plan, any deferred cash amounts, and earnings or losses thereon (calculated by reference to investment options available under the Unisys Savings Plan and selected by the director), are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each director. The right to receive future payments of deferred cash accounts is an unsecured claim against the Company’s general assets. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any cash, stock

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

The Unisys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applies to all employees, officers (including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer or controller) and directors. The code is posted on the Company’s web site at www.unisys.com/ethics and is also available in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board of Directors has adopted Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues. The full text of these guidelines is available on the Company’s web site at www.unisys.com/governance and is also available in print to any stockholder who requests it. Among other matters, the guidelines cover the following:

1. A majority of the Board of Directors shall qualify as independent under the listing standards of the NYSE. Members of the Audit and Finance, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must also meet the NYSE independence criteria, as well as any applicable independence criteria prescribed by the SEC.

2. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews annually with the Board the independence of outside directors. Following this review, only those directors who meet the independence qualifications prescribed by the NYSE and who the Board affirmatively determines have no material relationship with the Company will be considered independent. The Board has determined that the following commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair independence: (a) if a director is an executive officer or partner of, or owns more than a ten percent equity interest in, a company that does business with Unisys, and sales to or purchases from Unisys are less than one percent of the annual revenues of that company and (b) if a director is an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and Unisys contributions to that organization are less than one percent of its annual charitable receipts.

3. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of its currentmake-up, and will consider factors such as independence, experience, expertise, strength of character, mature judgment, leadership ability, technical skills, diversity and age in its assessment of the needs of the Board.

4. The Board is free to make the selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer any way that seems best to assure the success of the Company so as to provide appropriate leadership at a given point in time. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether or not the role of the Chief Executive and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from thenon-employee directors or be an employee. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of the Company, the Chairman should qualify as independent under the listing standards of the NYSE.

5. In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, no director shall stand forre-election at any annual stockholders’ meeting following attainment of age 72 and no person shall be elected a director (as a result of an increase in the number of directors, to fill a vacancy or otherwise) if such person has attained the age of 72.

6. Directors should volunteer to resign from the Board upon a change in primary job responsibility. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the appropriateness of continued Board membership under the circumstances and will recommend, and the Board will determine, whether or not to accept the director’s resignation. In addition, if the Company’s Chief Executive Officer resigns from that position, he is expected to offer his resignation from the Board at the same time.

LOGO 18


7.Non-employee directors are encouraged to limit the number of public company boards on which they serve to no more than four in addition to the Company’s and should advise the Chairman of the Board and the general counsel of the Company before accepting an invitation to serve on another board.

8. Thenon-employee directors will meet in executive session at all regularly scheduled Board meetings. They may also meet in executive session at any time upon request. If the Chairman of the Board is an employee of the Company, the Board will elect from the independent directors a lead director who will preside at executive sessions. If the Chairman is not an employee, the Chairman will preside at executive sessions.

9. Board members have complete access to Unisys management. Members of senior management who are not Board members regularly attend Board meetings, and the Board encourages senior management, from time to time, to bring into Board meetings other managers who can provide additional insights into the matters under discussion.

10. The Board and its committees have the right at any time to retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors.

11. It is appropriate for the Company’s staff to report once a year to the Compensation Committee on the status of Board compensation in relation to other large U.S. companies. Changes in Board compensation, if any, should come at the suggestion of the Compensation Committee, but with full discussion and concurrence by the Board. Particular attention will be paid to structuring Board compensation in a manner aligned with stockholder interests. In this regard, a meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided and held in stock options and/or stock units. Directors should not, except in rare circumstances approved by the Board, draw any consulting, legal or other fees from the Company. In no event shall any member of the Audit and Finance Committee receive any compensation from the Company other than directors’ fees.

12. The Company will provide an orientation program for new directors. The Company will also provide directors with presentations from time to time on topics designed by the Company or third-party experts to assist directors in carrying out their responsibilities. Directors may also attend appropriate continuing education programs at the Company’s expense.

13. The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. In addition, each committee will conduct an annual self-evaluation of its performance and will make a report annually to the Board.

14. Thenon-employee directors will evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer annually and will meet in executive session, led by the chairperson of the Compensation Committee, to review this performance. The evaluation is based on objective criteria, including performance of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic objectives and development of management. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee will recommend, and the members of the Board who meet the independence criteria of the NYSE will determine and approve, the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.

LOGO 19


15. To assist the Board in its planning for the succession to the position of Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer is expected to provide an annual report on succession planning to the Board.

16. Members of the Board should at all times act in accordance with the Company’s confidentiality policy for directors.

17. The Company’s stockholder rights plan expired on March 17, 2006, and it has no present intention to adopt a new one. Subject to its continuing fiduciary duties, which may dictate otherwise depending on the circumstances, the Board shall submit the adoption of any future stockholder rights plan to a vote of the stockholders. Any stockholder rights plan adopted or extended without stockholder approval shall be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board and shall be in response to specific, articulable circumstances that are deemed to warrant such action without the delay that might result from seeking prior stockholder approval. If the Board adopts or extends a rights plan without prior stockholder approval, the Board shall, within one year, either submit the plan to a vote of the stockholders or redeem the plan or cause it to expire.

Related Party Transactions

The Company is required to disclose any transactions since the beginning of 2016 (or any currently proposed transaction) in which the Company was a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a director or executive officer, any immediate family member of a director or executive officer or any person or group beneficially owning more than 5% of the Company’s common stock had a direct or indirect material interest. The Company does not have any such transactions to report.

Currently the Company has not adopted a policy specifically directed at the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions required to be disclosed.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC

ACCOUNTING FIRM

(Item 2)

The Audit and Finance Committee has engaged the firmNumber of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017. KPMG LLP has been the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2008. The Company expects that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions asked by stockholders. The Board of Directors considers KPMG LLP to be well qualified to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Unisys and recommends a vote for the proposal to ratify their selection.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2017.

AMENDMENT TO RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONMeetings: 5

(Item 3)

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved, declared advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and is submitting for stockholder approval an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000.

During 2016, the Company issued $213.5 million of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2021. In connection with this issuance, the Company reserved up to 27,415,305 shares of common stock for issuance upon the conversion of these notes. On February 28, 2017, there were 50,397,101 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. In addition, 7,828,639 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with the Company’s various employee benefit and compensation plans. This leaves 14,358,955 shares of common stock, or less than 15% of the number of shares of common stock currently authorized, available for future use.

The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently, there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The proposed amendment does not increase the number of shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue.

Form of the Amendment

If stockholders approve this proposal, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000. The par value of the common stock will remain at $.01 per share. The amendment would amend the first sentence of Article IV, Section 1 of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to read in its entirety as follows:

Section 1. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 190,000,000 shares, divided into two classes consisting of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and 40,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

LOGO 22


Independence and Qualifications:The remaining textBoard has determined that each of Article IV, Section 1Dr. Cohon, Ms. Davis, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Weaver qualifies as independent under the listing standards of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation will remain unchanged.

Purpose of the AmendmentNYSE.

The Board is recommending this increase in authorized shares of common stock primarily to give the Company appropriate flexibility to issue shares for future corporate needs. The shares may be issued by the Board in its discretion, subject to any further stockholder action required in the case of any particular issuance by applicable law, regulatory agency, or under the rules of the NYSE. Although there is no present agreement to issue any shares, the newly authorized shares of common stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, investment opportunities, capital raising transactions of equity or convertible debt securities, stock splits, stock dividends, issuance under current or future equity compensation plans, employee stock plans and savings plans or for other corporate purposes. There are no immediate plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings with respect to issuance of any of the additional shares of common stock that would be authorized by the proposed amendment. However, the Board believes that these additional shares will provide the Company with needed ability to issue shares in the future to take advantage of market conditions or favorable opportunities without the potential expense or delay incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Rights of Additional Authorized Shares

The additional authorized shares of common stock, if and when issued, would be part of the existing class of common stock and would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently outstanding. The Company’s stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to its common stock. Accordingly, should the Board of Directors elect to issue additional shares of common stock, existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase the shares.

Potential Adverse Effects of the Amendment

Future issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, book value per share, voting power and percentage interest of holdings of current stockholders. In addition, the availability of additional shares of common stock for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any takeover attempts, but nothing would prevent the Board from taking any appropriate actions not inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

Effectiveness of the Amendment and Vote Required

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the Company anticipates doing as soon as practicable following approval of this proposal. The adoption of this amendment requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock.

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(Item 4)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which was added under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on compensation of its named executive officers, as described below in this proxy statement in “Executive Compensation”, “SummaryPurpose: The Compensation Table” and the related compensation tables and narrative.

As described in detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 29, the Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain the executives who lead the Company’s business, to reward them for achieving financial and strategic company goals and to align their interests with the interests of stockholders. The Company believes that the compensation of its named executive officers is reasonable, competitive and strongly focused on pay for performance principles, with a significant portion of target compensation at risk and performance based. The Company emphasizes compensation opportunities that appropriately reward executives for delivering financial results that meet or exceedpre-established goals, and executive compensation varies depending upon the achievement of those goals. Through stock ownership requirements and equity incentives, the Company also aligns the interests of its executive officers with those of stockholders and the long-term interests of the Company. The Company believes that the policies and procedures articulated in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving the Company’s goals and that the executive compensation reported in this proxy statement was appropriate and aligned with 2016 results. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below, as well as the compensation tables and narrative that follow it, for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs and compensation of the named executive officers in 2016.

For the reasons set forth above, the Company is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the annual meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Unisys Corporation approve, on an advisory basis,Committee (1) oversees the compensation of the Company’s namedelected executive officers set forth inofficer and other executives who report directly to the Compensation DiscussionChief Executive Officer, (2) oversees the compensation-related policies and Analysis,programs involving the Summary Compensation TableCompany’s executive management and the related compensation tableslevel of benefits of officers and narrative inkey employees and (3) reviews the Proxy Statement forsenior executive succession plan and the senior executive leadership development process as presented by the Chief Executive Officer. The committee regularly reviews and approves the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This advisory resolution, commonly referredexecutive compensation strategy and principles to as a“say-on-pay” resolution, isnon-binding onensure that they are aligned with the Company’s Board of Directors. However, the Boardbusiness strategy and objectives and with stockholder interests. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee will reviewannually reviews and consider the vote when making future executive compensation decisions.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the advisory resolution approvingapproves goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives and makes recommendations to the independent members of the Board concerning the compensation level of the Chief Executive Officer. The committee also annually reviews and approves compensation levels of the other elected officers. In this regard, the committee solicits input from the Company’s named executive officersChief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of those executives who report directly to him. The Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board the adoption of director compensation programs. The Company’s guidelines regarding the compensation of directors are described more fully in paragraph 11 of “Corporate Governance Guidelines” below. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee also annually reviews management’s assessment of risk as describedit relates to the Company’s compensation arrangements. As is discussed more fully below in this proxy statement.“Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, the Compensation Committee regularly receives reports and recommendations from management and from the committee’s outside compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. In 2017, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners (“Pearl Meyer”) as its outside compensation consultant. During 2017, Pearl Meyer and its affiliates did not provide any additional services to the Company or its affiliates, and the work of Pearl Meyer has not raised any conflict of interest. Under its charter, the committee also may consult with legal, accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, and may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.

NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

Members:Dr. Cohon, Mr. Davis (chair), Mr. Germond and Ms. James

 

LOGO 24Number of Meetings: 7


ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF AN ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(Item 5)

In accordance with Section 14AIndependence and Qualifications: The Board has determined that each of Dr. Cohon, Mr. Davis, Mr. Germond and Ms. James qualifies as independent under the listing standards of the Exchange Act, the Company is asking stockholdersNYSE.

Purpose: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and reviews candidates and recommends to vote on whether they would prefer future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every year, every two years or every three years. After careful consideration of the frequency alternatives, the Board of Directors believes that conducting an advisory votenominees for membership on executive compensation every year is appropriate for the CompanyBoard of Directors. The director nomination process and its stockholders atthe factors considered by the committee when reviewing candidates are described below in “Director Nomination Process.” It also oversees the Company’s corporate governance. As a part of this time. The Company has conducted an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis since 2011.

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing oneresponsibility, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the evaluation of the following options — one year, two years, three years or abstain — onBoard of Directors, including reviewing annually with the proxy card when you vote in response toBoard the resolution set forth below:

RESOLVED, thatindependence of outside directors and annually facilitating the optionBoard’s self-assessment of once every one year, two years, or three yearsits performance.

Director Nomination Process

As part of the nomination process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of new Board members in the context of the currentmake-up of the Board and for identifying qualified candidates for Board membership. In so doing, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, with input from the Board, those factors it deems appropriate, such as independence, experience, expertise, strength of character, mature judgment, leadership ability, technical skills, diversity, age and the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board. The aim is to assemble a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and that consists of individuals who bring a variety of complementary attributes and who, taken together, have the appropriate skills and experience to oversee the Company’s business. Since the last annual meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board elected, two new directors, Ms. James in August 2017 and Ms. Paolillo in March 2018. As part of the selection process, the Board considered Ms. James’ unparalled senior homeland and national security experience in the federal government and private sector and Ms. Paolillo’s experience as a financial and operational leader with a broad understanding of the strategic priorities of technology and services organizations.

As set forth above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity as one of a number of factors in identifying nominees for director. It does not, however, have a formal policy in this regard. The committee views diversity broadly to include diversity of experience, skills and viewpoint as well as traditional diversity concepts such as race and gender.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives suggestions for new directors from a number of sources, including Board members. It also may, in its discretion, employ a third-party search firm to assist in identifying candidates for director. The committee will also consider recommendations for Board membership received from stockholders and other qualified sources. Recommendations on director candidates must be in writing and addressed to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, 801 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422.

LOGO 14


The full Board is responsible for final approval of new director candidates, as well as the nomination of existing directors for reelection. With respect to existing directors, prior to making its recommendation to the full Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, reviews each director’s continuation on the Board as a regular part of the annual nominating process. Specific information on the qualifications of each of the Company’s directors is included above.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board of Directors or to thenon-employee directors as a group by writing to them c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, 801 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422. All communications directed to Board members will be delivered to them.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make the selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at any given point in time. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether the same person should serve as both the CEO and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from thenon-employee directors or should be an employee. The Company’s corporate governance guidelines require the Board to elect a lead director from its independent directors whenever the Chairman is an employee of the Company.

When Mr. Altabef began as the Company’s CEO in January 2015, the Board determined to separate the positions of Chairman and CEO as Mr. Altabef transitioned into the role and appointed Mr. Weaver asnon-executive Chairman to provide the Board with independent leadership during the CEO transition and to enable Mr. Altabef, as incoming CEO, to concentrate on the Company’s business operations.

In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, the current Chairman of the Board, Mr. Weaver, will not stand for reelection at the annual meeting because he has reached age 72. In preparation for this transition, the Board conducted anin-depth review of its leadership structure and considered the individuals best-suited to lead the Board as the Company implements and executes its business strategy. As a part of this review, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee hired a third-party firm to conduct interviews of each director to assess the skill set and qualifications that each director believed was important for the Chairman to possess and to discuss with each director who would most effectively lead the Board. In making its recommendation to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also reviewed recommended best practices for corporate governance.

As a result of this process, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board determined that combining the positions of Chairman and CEO and electing Mr. Altabef to serve as the Chairman and Mr. Davis to serve as independent lead director upon Mr. Weaver’s retirement best positions the Board and management to implement the Company’s strategy and deliver value to the Company’s stockholders going forward. The Board believes that adopting this leadership structure will provide independent board leadership and oversight while benefiting the Company by

LOGO 15


having Mr. Altabef also serve as Chairman following his transition as incoming CEO, during which he demonstrated the strong leadership and vision necessary to drive the Company’s strategies and achieve its objectives.

Risk Oversight

In its oversight role, the Board of Directors annually reviews the Company’s strategic and operating plans, which address, among other things, the risks and opportunities facing the Company. The Board also has overall responsibility for executive officer succession planning and reviews succession plans each year. The Board has delegated certain risk management oversight responsibility to the Board committees. As part of its responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for discussing with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. In this regard, the Company’s chief audit executive prepares annually a corporate risk assessment report and provides that report to the Board of Directors each year. This report identifies the material business risks (including strategic, operational, financial reporting and compliance risks) for the Company and identifies the controls and management initiatives that respond to and mitigate those risks. The Company’s management regularly evaluates these controls, and the chief audit executive periodically reports to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding their design and effectiveness. The Audit and Finance Committee also receives annual reports from management on the Company’s ethics program and on environmental compliance, regularly reviews with management the Company’s financial arrangements, capital structure and the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, and oversees the allocation policies with respect to the Company’s pension assets, as well as the performance of pension plan investments. As part of its responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Compensation Committee annually reviews management’s assessment of risk as it relates to the Company’s compensation arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and their implementation. Each committee regularly reports to the full Board.

Compensation of Directors

The Company’snon-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $60,000. Mr. Weaver receives an additional $100,000 annual retainer for serving as Chairman of the Board. The chair of the Audit and Finance Committee receives a $26,000 annual retainer, the chair of the Compensation Committee receives a $19,000 annual retainer and the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives a $16,250 annual retainer. Each other member of the Audit and Finance Committee receives a $12,000 annual retainer and each other member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives a $7,500 annual retainer. On February 9, 2017, eachnon-employee director at the time of the Board meeting on that date received an annual grant of 10,639 restricted stock units having a value of $150,010 based on the fair market value of Unisys common stock on that date that vested immediately. On April 26, 2017, Mr. Martin received an annual grant of 12,500 restricted stock units having a value of $150,000 based on the fair market value of Unisys common stock on that date that vested immediately. On October 20, 2017, Ms. James received a grant of 8,427 restricted stock units having a value of $75,000 based on the fair market value of Unisys common stock on

LOGO 16


that date that vested immediately. Directors may defer receipt of these restricted stock units until termination of service, or until a specified date, under the Company’s deferred compensation plan for directors.

The annual retainers described above are paid in monthly installments in cash. However, directors may defer until termination of service, or until a specified date, all or a portion of their cash fees under the Company’s deferred compensation plan for directors. Under this plan, any deferred cash amounts, and earnings or losses thereon (calculated by reference to investment options available under the Unisys Savings Plan and selected by the director), are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each director. Formerly, directors could choose, on an annual basis, to receive their fees in the form of common stock equivalent units under the Unisys Corporation Director Stock Unit Plan. The value of each stock unit at any point in time is equal to the value of one share of Unisys common stock. Stock units are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each director. A director’s stock unit account is payable in Unisys common stock, either upon termination of service or on a date specified by the director, at the director’s option. Directors do not have the right to vote with respect to any stock units. This plan was terminated in 2004 and no shares (other then shares subject to outstanding awards previously received) are available for future issuance under this plan. The right to receive future payments of deferred cash accounts is an unsecured claim against the Company’s general assets. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any cash, stock units, stock options or restricted stock units for their services as directors. The following table provides a summary of the 2017 compensation of currentnon-employee directors who served during 2017.

Following this review, only those directors who meet the independence qualifications prescribed by the NYSE and who the Board affirmatively determines have no material relationship with the Company will be considered independent. The Board has determined that the following commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair independence: (a) if a director is an executive officer or partner of, or owns more than a ten percent equity interest in, a company that does business with Unisys, and sales to or purchases from Unisys are less than one percent of the annual revenues of that company and (b) if a director is an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and Unisys contributions to that organization are less than one percent of its annual charitable receipts.

3. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of its currentmake-up, and will consider factors such as independence, experience, expertise, strength of character, mature judgment, leadership ability, technical skills, diversity and age in its assessment of the needs of the Board.

4. The Board is free to make the selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer any way that seems best to assure the success of the Company so as to provide appropriate leadership at a given point in time. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether or not the role of the Chief Executive and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from thenon-employee directors or be an employee. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of the Company, the Chairman should qualify as independent under the listing standards of the NYSE.

5. In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, no director shall stand forre-election at any annual stockholders’ meeting following attainment of age 72 and no person shall be elected a director (as a result of an increase in the number of directors, to fill a vacancy or otherwise) if such person has attained the age of 72.

6. Directors should volunteer to resign from the Board upon a change in primary job responsibility. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the appropriateness of continued Board membership under the circumstances and will recommend, and the Board will determine, whether or not to accept the director’s resignation. In addition, if the Company’s Chief Executive Officer resigns from that position, he is expected to offer his resignation from the Board at the same time.

7.Non-employee directors are encouraged to limit the number of public company boards on which they serve to no more than four in addition to the Company’s and should advise the Chairman of the Board and the general counsel of the Company before accepting an invitation to serve on another board.

8. Thenon-employee directors will meet in executive session at all regularly scheduled Board meetings. They may also meet in executive session at any time upon request. If the Chairman of the Board is an employee of the Company, the Board will elect from the independent directors a lead director who will preside at executive sessions. If the Chairman is not an employee, the Chairman will preside at executive sessions.

9. Board members have complete access to Unisys management. Members of senior management who are not Board members regularly attend Board meetings, and the Board encourages senior management, from time to time, to bring into Board meetings other managers who can provide additional insights into the matters under discussion.

10. The Board and its committees have the right at any time to retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors.

11. It is appropriate for the Company’s staff to report once a year to the Compensation Committee on the status of Board compensation in relation to other large U.S. companies. Changes in Board compensation, if any, should come at the suggestion of the Compensation Committee, but with full discussion and concurrence by the Board. Particular attention will be paid to structuring Board compensation in a

LOGO 19


manner aligned with stockholder interests. In this regard, a meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided and held in stock options and/or stock units. Directors should not, except in rare circumstances approved by the Board, draw any consulting, legal or other fees from the Company. In no event shall any member of the Audit and Finance Committee receive any compensation from the Company other than directors’ fees.

12. The Company will provide an orientation program for new directors. The Company will also provide directors with presentations from time to time on topics designed by the Company or third-party experts to assist directors in carrying out their responsibilities. Directors may also attend appropriate continuing education programs at the Company’s expense.

13. The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. In addition, each committee will conduct an annual self-evaluation of its performance and will make a report annually to the Board.

14. Thenon-employee directors will evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer annually and will meet in executive session, led by the chairperson of the Compensation Committee, to review this performance. The evaluation is based on objective criteria, including performance of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic objectives and development of management. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee will recommend, and the members of the Board who meet the independence criteria of the NYSE will determine and approve, the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.

15. To assist the Board in its planning for the succession to the position of Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer is expected to provide an annual report on succession planning to the Board.

16. Members of the Board should at all times act in accordance with the Company’s confidentiality policy for directors.

17. The Company’s stockholder rights plan expired on March 17, 2006, and it has no present intention to adopt a new one. Subject to its continuing fiduciary duties, which may dictate otherwise depending on the circumstances, the Board shall submit the adoption of any future stockholder rights plan to a vote of the stockholders. Any stockholder rights plan adopted or extended without stockholder approval shall be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board and shall be in response to specific, articulable circumstances that are deemed to warrant such action without the delay that might result from seeking prior stockholder approval. If the Board adopts or extends a rights plan without prior stockholder approval, the Board shall, within one year, either submit the plan to a vote of the stockholders or redeem the plan or cause it to expire.

Related Party Transactions

The Company is required to disclose any transactions since the beginning of 2017 (or any currently proposed transaction) in which the Company was a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a director or executive officer, any immediate family member of a director or executive officer or any person or group beneficially owning more than 5% of the Company’s common stock had a direct or indirect material interest. The Company does not have any such transactions to report.

LOGO 20


Currently the Company has not adopted a policy specifically directed at the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions required to be disclosed. However, under the Unisys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, all employees, officers and directors are required to avoid conflicts of interest. Employees (including officers) must review with, and obtain the approval of, their immediate supervisor and the Company’s Corporate Ethics Office, any situation (without regard to dollar amount) that may involve a conflict of interest. Directors should raise possible conflicts of interest with the Chief Executive Officer or the general counsel. The code of ethics defines a conflict of interest as any relationship, arrangement, investment or situation in which loyalties are divided between Unisys interests and personal interests and specifically notes involvement (either personally or through a family member) in a business that is a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company as a particularly sensitive area that requires careful review.

Audit and Finance Committee Report

In performing its oversight responsibilities as defined in its charter, the Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements and reporting process for 2017, including internal controls over financial reporting, with management and with KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees. In addition, the committee has received from KPMG LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG LLP their independence. The committee has also considered the compatibility of audit-related services, tax services and othernon-audit services with KPMG LLP’s independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for filing with the SEC.

ACCOUNTING FIRM

(Item 2)

The Audit and Finance Committee has engaged the firm of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018. KPMG LLP has been the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2008. The Company expects that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions asked by stockholders. The Board of Directors considers KPMG LLP to be well qualified to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Unisys and recommends a vote for the proposal to ratify their selection.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2018.

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(Item 3)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which was added under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on compensation of its named executive officers, as described below in this proxy statement in “Executive Compensation”, “Summary Compensation Table” and the related compensation tables and narrative.

As described in detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 27, the Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain the executives who lead the Company’s business, to reward them for achieving financial and strategic company goals and to align their interests with the interests of stockholders. The Company believes that the compensation of its named executive officers is reasonable, competitive and strongly focused on pay for performance principles, with a significant portion of target compensation at risk and performance based. The Company

LOGO 22


emphasizes compensation opportunities that appropriately reward executives for delivering financial results that meet or exceedpre-established goals, and executive compensation varies depending upon the achievement of those goals. Through stock ownership requirements and equity incentives, the Company also aligns the interests of its executive officers with those of stockholders and the long-term interests of the Company. The Company believes that the policies and procedures articulated in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving the Company’s goals and that the executive compensation reported in this proxy statement was appropriate and aligned with 2017 results. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below, as well as the compensation tables and narrative that follow it, for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs and compensation of the named executive officers in 2017.

For the reasons set forth above, the Company is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the annual meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Unisys Corporation approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers set forth in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a“say-on-pay” resolution, isnon-binding on the Company’s Board of Directors. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the vote when making future executive compensation decisions.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the advisory resolution approving the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described in this proxy statement.

Executive Summary

Our Business

Unisys is a global information technology company that builds high-performance, security-centric solutions for clients across the government, financial services and commercial markets. The Company’s offerings include security software and services; digital transformation and workplace services; industry applications and services; and innovative software operating environments for high-intensity enterprise computing.

The Company has gone through significant changes since the beginning of 2015. We have transformed the company structure to support an industrygo-to-market effort to differentiate ourselves. We have streamlined our cost structure and increased liquidity. In 2017, the Company made substantial progress towards strengthening ourgo-to-market approach and deliverednon-GAAP operating profit margin and adjusted free cash flow that exceeded our full year guidance range while achieving the high end of our revenue guidance for the full year. While more work remains to be done with ouron-going strategicre-positioning, we believe we are on the right path to further improving our Services margins, growing revenue, strengthening our balance sheet and managing our pension obligations.

Our Transformation

We continue to execute against our business strategy and improve our financial performance as depicted below.

 

(5)Sole dispositive and sole voting power have been reported for all shares.

LOGO

Since 2015, we have continued to improve the rate of revenue decline and believe we are making progress on driving to our revenue inflection point to grow our company. We believe that continued focus on increasing our services productivity and efficiency will drive a leaner competitive cost structure and improve our operating margin.

In 2017, we exceeded or achieved full-year guidance on all guidance metrics as shown below. Our 2017 results represent the second consecutive year of exceeding or achieving full-year guidance since were-established the process of issuing guidance two years ago.

 

LOGO

LOGO 28


As of the end of 2017, the pension deficit improved by $390 million compared to the end of the prior year. This decline of 18% represented the largest percentage decline since 2013. The estimated required cash contributions over the next five years also declined by $300 million compared to the estimates as of the end of the prior year. We are proactively addressing our pension obligation to strengthen our balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2018, the company approved an amendment to reorganize its U.S. defined benefit pension plan from one plan into two distinct plans. Participants were divided between plans to maximize administrative efficiencies in compliance with all regulations. The company estimates administrative costs, including Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums, and the resulting contributions to fund such costs, will be reduced by approximately $10 million per year through 2021. Benefits offered to participants in the plans are unchanged. This amendment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position for the year ended and as of December 31, 2017. In August 2017, a new Treasurer joined the Company who is focusing on funding and risk management for the corporate pension plans to continue strengthening the balance sheet.

Stockholder Feedback

The Company has undertaken a comprehensive approach to improving the results of the stockholder advisory vote on our executive compensation(“say-on-pay”), which includes:

Continuing our dialogue and engagement with stockholders regarding executive compensation

Continuing to incorporate stockholder feedback in developing the design and goal-setting process for 2018

Enhancing our proxy to continually improve transparency and presentation

The Compensation Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant, regularly evaluates its compensation programs and considers the results of its most recent stockholdersay-on-pay vote as well as feedback received directly from stockholders through our ongoing engagement. In 2017, a comprehensive effort was made to engage with many of our largest stockholders to discuss how our executive compensation program supports our strategy and oursay-on-pay vote. At the April 2017 annual meeting, we receivedsay-on-pay support from holders of approximately 68% of our shares of common stock present at the meeting. Following that meeting, we reached out to holders of over 85% of outstanding shares of our common stock to request a call to discuss corporate governance and executive compensation matters. Holders of over 60% of our shares responded to our request and either accepted our invitation for engagement or declined our invitation saying they had no concerns with our compensation program. During these calls, senior executives and directors of the Company provided information regarding our executive compensation programs, responded to questions and discussed investor feedback. This process resulted in valuable insight regarding stockholder views. Feedback received directly from stockholders, as well as from proxy advisory firms, is summarized below.

What We HeardWhat We Have Done and Are Doing

Performance should be measured over3-year cycles rather than 31-year cycles

Performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance-Based RSUs”) were historically (from 2010 through 2014) earned based on performance in the year of grant. The current design was selected to transition to a longer performance measurement period given the uncertainty of the current business context and based on the outlook at the time.

Performance is measured separately for each of the three years in the performance period with progressively higher goals set each year. This was intended to motivate and focus executives over the entire three-year period.

The Company is undergoing a transformation to improve its capability to respond to changing client expectations:

Industry Changes

Client-Focused Company Strategic Objectives

Consultative selling approach: Rather than relying only on the RFP process, clients are seeking a partnership with their provider which involves working with them over time to understand their needs and develop more tailored solutions

Domain Expertise: Clients expect solutions targeted to their specific industry; companies are focusing on domain expertise within targeted verticals to provide value-added services based on experience within certain targeted verticals, which over time has improved profitability for those companies compared to providing broader but less differentiated offerings

Investing in developing the consultative selling skillset needed to address changing client demands with the objective of improving revenue over time

Implementing a verticalgo-to-market strategy focused on key industries where the company has deep expertise and organizing the business internally to support that approach

¡     Intended to improve revenue and profitability over time by moving from low margin/commoditized offerings innon-core areas to premium services

Our Performance

After joining the Company on January 1, 2015, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Peter A. Altabef, introduced a plan to refocus our strategy by deepening our software and integrated solutions, realigning our organization, and addressing our cost base. This work began in 2015 and continued in 2016. We established goals of increasing profitability and cash flow while stabilizing revenue and building a foundation for revenue improvement.

Highlights of our 2016 performance include:

Delivered on guidance for revenue andnon-GAAP operating profit margin

Exceeded our guidance for adjusted free cash flow and were free cash flow positive for the year

Achieved total shareholder return of 35% for 2016, exceeding the median for our industry and the Russell 3000

Successfully executed against the verticalgo-to-market strategy developed in 2015 includingbuild-out of the leadership team in targeted sectors and industries

Launched several new offerings aligned with our security focus and verticalgo-to-market strategy

Increased revenue for targeted industries 2.6% on a constant currency basis; 42% of revenue is from focused industries

Increased Total Contract Value (TCV) by 13% compared to 2015; TCV (estimated total contractual revenue related to signed contracts including option years and without regard for cancellation) is a key leading indicator of future revenue; new business TCV (new customers or scope expansions) increased 17% compared to 2015

Executed on our cost-reduction plan with $205 million of annualized savings compared to our goal of $200 million exiting 2016

LOGO 31


Continued our transition to a more asset-lite business model, thereby reducing capital expenditure needs

Managed our capital structure, including through raisinglonger performance measurement period by using a convertible debt offeringmulti-year (including1-year,2-year cumulative and repaying early $115 million of our Senior Notes due in 2017

In order to improve the transparency of our financial reporting3-year cumulative goals) performance period for both performance cash and enhance visibility on our performance, in January 2016 we provided annual financial guidance to track our progress on our strategic objectives. Our revenue guidance reflected negative impacts from currency (over half of our revenue is from sales outside the United States) as well as lower anticipated revenue in both the Technology and Services segments. This was expected as part of our planned strategic transition, including migration from broader, more commoditized offerings to premium solutions customized for targeted industry verticals.

As summarized below, we achieved full year guidance on revenue andnon-GAAP operating profit margin and exceeded guidance on adjusted free cash flow. We achieved $205 million of annualizedrun-rate savings exiting 2016, compared to our goal of $200 million.Non-GAAP operating profit and adjusted free cash flow exclude the impact of defined benefit pension expense and cost reduction charges.Performance-Based RSUs.

 

Performance assessments should include consideration of relative performance

LOGOIn 2018, the metric for Performance-Based RSUs will be changed fromNon-GAAP Operating Profit toTotal Shareholder Return (TSR) assessment relative to a broad stock index. Caps and a minimum absolute TSR threshold will prevent excessive payments.

We will continue this dialogue with our stockholders and consider their perspectives regarding compensation and governance matters.

The Company’s results and the overall business environment, including the Company’s cost reduction program, were considered when determining compensation paid for 2016, as discussed below. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for a more detailed description of the Company’s financial results.

Overview of Our Compensation Programs

This section describes 20162017 compensation and benefit programs for the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 5952 and referred to as “Named Officers”.

Peter Altabef joined the Company in January 2015 to reposition our company by establishing our strategy with a focus on higher growth markets, building a management team that would have the full confidence of the Board to achieve our strategic priorities and, ultimately, creating the stockholder value that is expected from our investors. As our industry evolves and our opportunities for competitive business advantages change over time, we must likewise evolve in order to create value. Our compensation programs are tailored to our strategic priorities and our current outlook, while also motivating and retaining our management team.

Highlights of our compensation program include:

 

Strong emphasis on performance-based pay with the majority of target compensation (85%(86% in the case of Mr. Altabef and 69%76% on average for the other Current Named Officers)at-risk.at-risk

   Goals aligned with Company’s operating plan and financial guidance at the time of the grant

Base salaries and target short-term cash incentive awards for 2016 were generally at or competitive with (i.e. within 15%) the market median. In consideration of the Compensation Committee’s desire to achieve an appropriate balance between the goals of its long-term incentive program, its compensation expense and dilution to its stockholders, the grant date value of LTI awards to the Named Officers, as shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 59, in the aggregate, was below the median compared to the market reference data. Therefore, total target compensation for 2016 is at or below median for the Named Officers.

Pay-Performance Alignment

The chart below shows 2016 target and realized compensation for Mr. Altabef. Target total direct compensation represents Mr. Altabef’s 2016 target pay opportunity. Realized compensation shows Mr. Altabef’s salary, actual EVC payout, and the value of Mr. Altabef’s Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs which vested in 2016. Based on the Unisys common stock price at vesting, realized long-term incentives were approximately $372,200, significantly less than the fair value of Mr. Altabef’s long-term incentives at the time of grant, which was approximately $4.3 million. The chart shows that while Mr. Altabef’s target total direct compensation is approximately $6.5 million, his realized pay is approximately $2.9 million.

Below we show alignment of realizable pay and total shareholder return (TSR) for Unisys compared to the 2016 Peer Group (defined under “Market References” below). Realizable pay incorporates realized pay plus the value of unvested equity and unearned long-term performance cash attributable to awards made in the past 3 years (2014 through 2016 for Unisys, and generally 2013 through 2015 for the 2016 Peer Group given the timing of compensation disclosures) assuming target performance and stock price as of December 31. Differences in realized, realizable and Summary Compensation Table reported pay reflect

LOGO 34


timing of incentive payouts (long-term incentives vest over multiple years), changes in stock price since the time of grant, and the degree to which actual payouts of EVC and Performance-Based RSUs that actually vested align with the target amounts.

LOGO

LOGO 35


For the Company, realizable pay is evaluated for 2014 through 2016 and the Chief Executive Officer comparison uses Mr. Altabef’s pay for 2015 and 2016 and the pay of our former Chief Executive Officer, J. Edward Coleman, for 2014. For the 2016 Peer Group, realizable pay is based on the last three years disclosed in the most recent proxy. TSR, which encompasses stock price appreciation and assumes dividends (where applicable) are reinvested, is calculated for January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016.

CEO Pay for Performance

LOGO

Although total shareholder return trails our peers, this analysis shows realizable pay aligns with our total shareholder return performance over the last three years. We believe this is a comprehensive depiction ofpay-performance alignment for the following reasons:

It takes into account stock price movement after the grant date (as opposed to grant date fair value reported in the Summary Compensation Table)

For performance-based equity such as our Performance-Based RSUs, the number of shares or units actually vesting is used for time periods where the performance period has been completed.

For multi-year cash vehicles such as our Long-Term Performance Cash, it includes target value where the performance period has not yet been completed. Only Long-Term cash earned in 2016 is shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

It excludes Other Compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table which includes items that are not part of total direct compensation. For the Company, Other Compensation is typically a small portion (i.e.1-3%) of Summary Compensation Table pay for executives with the Company for the entire year. However, items related to executive turnover such as severance payments and vacation payouts to former

LOGO 36


executives and relocation payments are reported as Other Compensation; these items can be significant and can skew pay levels.

 

The analysis is based on the 2016 Peer Group, which the Company considers most relevant.LOGO 31

Shareholder Feedback

The Compensation Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant, regularly evaluates its compensation programs and considers the results of its most recent stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation(‘say-on-pay”) as well as feedback received directly from shareholders through our ongoing engagement. The Company proactively contacted many of our major shareholders in the spring of 2016 prior to the annual meeting to discuss oursay-on-pay vote and the proposal to approve the 2016 Plan. During these calls, senior executives of the Company provided information regarding our executive compensation programs, responded to questions, and discussed investor feedback. Over 70% of our top 30 shareholders were contacted, representing over half of the shares outstanding. This process resulted in valuable insight regarding shareholder views. Feedback received directly from shareholders, as well as from proxy advisory firms, is summarized below.

At the April 2016 annual meeting, we receivedsay-on-pay support of approximately 82%. While this indicates support for our programs, oursay-on-pay approval has historically been higher (averaging approximately 94% from 2013 to 2015) and we are carefully considering the valuable feedback received during this process. The Company has undertaken a comprehensive approach to maintaining and improvingsay-on-pay support which includes:


Re-vamping our proxy to improve transparency and presentation

Increasing our dialogue and engagement with shareholders regarding executive compensation

Continuing to incorporate shareholder feedback in developing the design andgoal-setting process for 2017

What We HeardWhat We Have Done or Are Doing

2015 performance goals were set below the prior year’s goals and payout opportunity was not lowered

Explained to stockholders our goal-setting process and the rigor of the 2015 metrics in the context of the Company’s transformation.

In 2016, we added disclosure regarding our goal-setting process.Non-GAAPpre-tax profit and adjusted free cash flow goals in EVC and thenon-GAAP operating profit used to determine LTI payouts increased incrementally from 2015. The 2016 revenue target for EVC reflected our internal business plans and financial guidance based on the strategic change described above from broader, less differentiated offerings to value-added solutions customized to targeted industry verticals, which is expected to lead to greater profitability and growth going forward.

LOGO 37


What We HeardWhat We Have Done or Are Doing
A greater proportion of LTI should be performance-based

Proportion of performance-based LTI in 2016 increased to approximately 67% of the target LTI value (compared to 45% in 2015).

Performance should be measured over3-year cycles rather than 31-year cycles

Performance-Based RSUs were historically (from 2010 through 2014) earned based on performance in the year of grant. The current design was selected to transition to a longer performance measurement period given the uncertainty of the current business context and based on the outlook at the time.

In 2016, performance is measured separately for each of the three years in the performance period with progressively higher goals set each year. This was intended to motivate and focus executives over the entire three-year period. We will continue tore-evaluate this design as we progress in our turnaround.

Concern regarding legacy change in control agreements

As described beginning on page 70, the Company revised its change in control agreements beginning in 2010 to reduce benefit levels, eliminate taxgross-ups, and eliminate a provision allowing the executive to resign in the 13th month following a change in control.

None of the Current Named Officers have an excise taxgross-up or a provision under which they can receive benefits in the event of a voluntary resignation in the 13th month following a change in control.

Our ongoing discussions with investors also include exchange of information regarding our executive compensation programs. Going forward, we plan to continue to dialogue with our shareholders and consider their perspectives regarding compensation and governance matters.

Good Governance Practices

The Compensation Committee continually evaluates the Company’s compensation policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with good governance principles. The Committee receives regular updates on governance matters from its independent consultant. Below are highlights of our governance practices:

What We Do

Our Compensation Strategy

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

 

  

Attract, motivate, and retain the leadership talent necessary to drive our business

 

LOGO 39


  

Hold key leaders accountable for achieving financial and strategic Company goals

 

  

Align interests of leaders with those of our stockholders

A significant portion of target compensation for Named Officers isat-risk and performance-based. In order to maximize our ability to compete effectively, in an environment of downward pressure on IT spending, we maintain a strongpay-for-performance bias as described in the Executive Summary section. This focus is intended to 1) offer target total compensation opportunities which are competitive to attract and retain executive talent and 2) through incentives, focus executives on successful execution of the operating plan and actions which over time, are expected to lead to enhanced profitability and growth.

Total target compensation for Mr. Altabef and the average total target compensation for the other Current Named Officers on average, with further detail for Mr. Altabef, isare shown below.

While actual compensation reflects companythe performance of the Company, the Compensation Committee’s goal is for total target compensation, as well as each element of total target compensation, to be at or around the median target compensation for executives with similar positions in the market as described beginning on page 44.38. The Committee incorporates flexibility into its compensation programs and into the assessment process to respond to changing business needs, to emphasize specific compensation objectives and to take into consideration individual performance, as well as the relative complexity and strategic importance of specific roles.

Given the Company’s ongoing transformation, our executive compensation programs are designed to both hold executives accountable for meeting short-term objectives expected to result in long-term value creation and align realizable pay with long-term performance. The Company maintainsWe maintain a strong bias towardspay-for-performance principles and alignment of interests of executives and stockholders.

LOGO 42LOGO 35


The Committee regularly assesses ourthe Company’s incentive plan measures in light of the current business plan, relevance to shareholders,stockholders, and alignment with peer company practices. Measures used in the EVC Plan are important to our business and widely used in our industry. When the current LTI plan design was adopted in 2015, several measures were considered. Operating profit was selected as preferable to the alternatives, including Earnings per Share and Total Shareholder Return.

Based on thesethis process and factors considered, a range of performance scenarios is developed. Goals are then set at the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels with the target goals aligning with the Company’sour operating plan and the financial guidance provided externally described on page 32.we provide externally. The Committee considers probability of achievement of different levels of performance. Based on rules of thumbmarket practice described by the Committee’s consultant that we

believe to be consistent with practices at other companies with size and complexity similar to our own, the targettargeted probability of meeting or exceeding each level is shown below:

Threshold

Due to the volatility and transition of our business, the Company setswe set a relatively wide range of performance between threshold and target and target and maximum, specifically regarding profitability and free cash flow measures. This is because a significant portion of profit and cash are generated by our Technology business, which is less than 20% of our total revenue. A single technology deal can generate significant revenue, in excess of 10% of profit or free cash flow in a given year. It is challenging to predict the timing of technology deal closures, and a delay or loss can significantly swing profitability. For example, a delay in closing a technology deal worth 1% of total revenue could reducepre-tax profit by 10%. A 5% decline in revenue from technology deals could cause a 50% reduction in profitability. Additional detail regarding specific performance ranges for 20162017 as well as our performance against the targets is discussed beginning on page 49.42.

Role of Compensation Consultants and Management

The Compensation Committee retains and regularly consults with an independent compensation consultant, which in 20162017 was Pearl Meyer & Partners (“Pearl Meyer”). To ensure the Committee receives independent and unbiased advice and analysis, the consultant is prohibited from providing services of any nature to the Company’s officers and directors personally, and is prohibited from providing advice to the Company related to executive and director compensation, employee compensation, and employee benefits, other than the advice provided in service to the Committee. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate outside compensation consultants, including authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. The Committee annually reviews the independence of the consultant’s work under rules adopted by the SEC and NYSE and found no conflicts.

The independent compensation consultant performed duties requested by the Committee including:

 

Providing recommendations on the composition of the peer group described under Market References below

 

Analyzing executive and director compensation in comparison to the market references described below

 

Updating the Compensation Committee on executive compensation and governance market trends

 

Advising the Committee on the 20162017 short-term and long-term incentive designs

Providing input on the provisions of the 2016 Plan

The consultant spoke with the chair of the Compensation Committee, as well as with management, in preparing for committee meetings, regularly attended committee meetings and met from time to time in executive session with the Compensation Committee without the presence of management.

LOGO 37


The Compensation Committee also receives reports and recommendations from management. In particular, throughout 20162017 the committee solicited input from Mr. Altabef regarding the compensation of those executives who reported directly to him. In addition, Mr. Altabef provided recommendations, based on the Company’s operating and strategic plans, to the Compensation Committee related to the performance measures used in the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive plans, as well as the recommended threshold, target and maximum performance levels.

The Compensation Committee met from time to time in executive session without the presence of Mr. Altabef or any other members of management to consider the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation package and discuss other matters. The Committee uses data, analysis and advice provided by the independent compensation consultant in reviewing Mr. Altabef’s compensation, which is then recommended to and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors.

Market References

The executive compensation program takes into account the compensation practices of companies with which the Company competes or could compete for executive talent. In its review of 20162017 executive compensation, the Compensation Committee compared the

LOGO 44


Company’s overall compensation structure (mix of pay) and levels for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and business unit leaders (total annual compensation, as well as each component of their total compensation) with the peer group companies.

The list of peer group companies was developed with input from the Committee’s consultant using a rules-based selection process as follows:

 

 1.Identify the universe of potential publicly-traded peer companies in the broader information technology sector including companies identified as self-reported peers of current peers, companies that name Unisysthe Company as a peer, companies considered key product/service offering competitors, and companies identified by major proxy advisory firms as peers

 

 2.Target companies within specific ranges, described in graphic belowthat are generally similar to us with regard to revenue, employee population and enterprise value

 

 3.Select companies that are generally similar to us in terms of services, technology offerings and end markets served having generally similar business models:models of IT infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, application services, business process outsourcing, and/orhigh-end server technology

IT infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, application services, business process outsourcing, and/orhigh-end server technology

Preference for companies serving multiple geographies and multiple end markets (commercial and government)

These filters are not applied in a formulaic manner and may be relaxed for strong business competitors. The demographics of the peer companies as a group are compared to the Company (e.g. by reviewing the number of peers focused mainly on U.S. Federal Government business compared to the Company’s business mix, and the percentage of sales originating outside of the U.S.). The criteria considered are shown in the graphic below.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices

An annual internalOur Compensation Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition, our Compensation Committee asked Pearl Meyer to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive compensation program. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to the Company of its employee compensation policies and practices, including those relating to its employees who are not executive officers. The Company inventoried its compensation plans, with particular emphasishave a material adverse effect on incentive compensation plans, and assessed the risks, including financial and operational risks, of those plans.our business.

The CompanyWe evaluated the plansprogram to assess if features in the planprogram design mitigated risk including:

 

compensation mix that balancesat-risk pay opportunity with fixed pay sufficient to promote basic financial security and discourage excessive risk-taking;

 

performance metrics which align with the Company’sour business strategy and long-term stockholder value creation;

 

performance ranges, including appropriate caps and thresholds, to motivate desired behavior and ensure payouts are fiscally prudent;

 

performance and vesting periods to encourage a long-term view and promote retention; and

 

the existence of other risk mitigating factors such as stock ownership guidelines.

The Committee’s independent consultant also reviews the assessment and provides input. As a result of the assessment both management and the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Since 1998, the Company has had stock ownership guidelines in place for elected officers in order to more closely link their interests with those of stockholders. Under revised guidelines put into effect in February 2011, electedElected officers are expected to own Unisys stock or stock units (including the “in the money” portion of vested stock options, unvested Time-Based RSUs and earned Performance-Based RSUs that have not yet vested) having a value equal to or greater than a multiple of their annual base salary, as follows: Chief Executive Officer – 3 times; Chief Financial Officer and senior vice presidents with responsibility for a business unit – 1.5 times; other senior vice presidents – 1 times; vice presidents – 0.5 times.

Unvested stock options, vested “under water” stock options and Performance-Based RSUs that have not yet met the performance criteria do not count toward fulfillment of the ownership guidelines. Officers are expected to meet the ownership guidelines within five years of election. The Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy of and compliance with the guidelines on an annual basis. The number of shares owned by each of the Named Officers is set forth in the stock ownership table on page 28.26.

Clawback Policy

The Company maintains a clawback policy, which applies to all the Named Officers and other executive officers of the Company. Under the clawback policy, the Company will seek

to recover incentive-based compensation (including cash and equity) if the Company’s financial statements are required to be restated as a result of the Company’s materialnon-compliance with the financial reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws and if the executive officer engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that caused or otherwise contributed to the need for the restatement.

Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging, and Anti-Pledging Policy

The Company maintains an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all the employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The policy prohibits trading in securities of the Company while aware of materialnon-public information. Individuals identified as “key persons”, including Named Officers, are subject to further restrictions, which among other things, limits them to trading during quarterly trading windows withpre-clearance and prohibits derivatives trading, short sales, margin transactions and pledges relating to Unisys securities.securities at any time.

LOGO 48LOGO 41


Base Salary

Elected officers’ base salaries are determined by evaluating factors such as the responsibilities and complexity of the position, the experience and performance of the individual, market data for similar roles, overall companyCompany performance, and internal equity within the Company. In its annual review at the FebruaryDecember 2016 meeting, the Committee considered the relationship of executive compensation at the Company to the market compensation data and determined that salaries that had been in effect for 20152016 for the Named Officers remainedwere generally consistentat or competitive with the median for the market with the exception of Mr. Hutto. When Mr. Hutto was promoted to be an officer of the Company in September 2015 with a substantial increase in responsibility, his pay level reflected his newness to the role. Subsequently in 2016, his base salary was increased to better align with(i.e., within 15%) the market median. The Committee alsoModest merit increases reflecting the considerations outlined above were approved an increasefor most of our Named Officers. Further increases were given to Mr. Singh and Mr. Hutto in Mr. Singh’s base salary in connection with his promotionJuly 2017 to Chief Financial Officer.reflect increased levels of responsibility and complexity of their positions during our transformation. Base salaries for each named officer are shown below:

Short-term Incentive Compensation

During 2016,2017, the Company’s elected officers were eligible to receive an annual cash incentive through the EVC Plan. Compensation under the EVC Plan is“at-risk” compensation intended to motivate and hold executives accountable for the attainment of short-term performance goals. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the criteria applicable to incentive payments and the amounts of such payouts. For 2016,2017, the amount of incentive compensation awards paid to the Named Officers under the plan depended upon (a) the officer’s target annual bonus amount and (b) the degree to which CompanyCompany’s performance goals were met.

The EVC Plan design for 20162017 remained unchanged from 20152016 and performance measures arewere as follows:

In order to promote profitable growth, the Company introduced a funding gate in 2015 based onnon-GAAPpre-tax profit, which requires meeting apre-defined level of performance onnon-GAAPpre-tax profit must be met before paying any portion of the award on any metric. The Committee set threshold, target, and maximum performance levels for each measure as shown below.

Target annual bonus amounts for elected officers are approved by the Committee and are intended to be competitive in the market in which the Company competes for talent and reflect the level of responsibility of the role. They are therefore set at or around the median for comparable positions in the market. For 2016,2017, increases in target bonus amounts, which are stated as a percentage of base salary,incentives were as follows:given to certain Named Officers based on the following considerations:

Based on the outlook at the time the goals were set and with input from the independent compensation consultant, the Committee concluded these performance goals struck an appropriate balance in providing both a reasonable probability of attainment and sufficient rigor and motivation offor superior performance. As discussed earlier, the Company’s operating plan and external guidance projected a decline in revenue due to its strategic transition from less differentiated solutions to a more targeted vertical industry focus.

Following the announcement of our earnings release results and the payout of bonuses under the EVC Plan and the distribution of LTI awards, small adjustments were made to the results in our annual report onForm 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2018, as a result of which revenue was decreased by less than $2 million and non-GAAP operating profit was decreased by less than $1 million. If the results reported in our annual report onForm 10-K had been used, the aggregate percentage of target bonus paid would have been approximately 137.7%, or a difference of 0.5%. The Company expects to deduct this difference from any payments to be made to impacted individuals under the EVC Plan as a result of the Company’s performance in 2018.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

Long-term incentives (LTI)(“LTI”) are intended to provide executives with a continuing stake in theour long-term success of the Company and to align their interests with those of our stockholders. LTI are also used to attract, retain and motivate executives responsible for the Company’sour long-term success.

LOGO 45


The Committee evaluates the LTI program annually relative to its objectives as well as practices within the peer group. In 2016, changes were made to better reflect the Company’s strategic direction and context.priorities, including consideration of share availability and potential dilution, current stock price, and information provided by the Committee’s consultant on market practice and current trends. The Company stopped granting options and strengthened the emphasis on performance-based LTI with approximately 2/3 of the LTI target value linked to achievement ofnon-GAAP operating incomeprofit performance objectives. The 2016 program included performance-based LTI, with stock and performance cash components, and Time-Based RSUs. The 2016 program was designed to reduce potential shareholderstockholder dilution while increasing emphasis on achievement relative to our operating profit performance goals. Considerations in making this change included share availability and potential dilution, current stock price, and information provided by the Committee’s consultant on market practice and current trends. The Compensation Committee believes that using different types of awards provides balance to the Company’s LTI program and mitigates risk.

Performance-based LTI vests over 3 years, with distinct goals for each fiscal year within the vesting period, in order to measure performance over the entire three-year period while creating a strong focus on execution in 2016.execution. Due to the challenges of setting three-year performance goals in the current environment of transformation, goals were set separately for each year in the performance period. This is common practice within our industry as over half of the 2016 Peer Group measure performance in their long-term incentive plans in part in annual ortwo-year increments. The design is intended to foster a sense of urgency to meet near term goals and reward consistent profitable performance over time, which is expected to drive long-term value creation. CompanyThe Company’s operating profit is the performance measure on which the current LTI plan is based. OperatingThe Committee considered operating profit was considered preferable to theother alternatives (including Earnings per Share and Total Shareholder Return) because it offers a strongline-of-sight for plan participants; it is not influenced by pension expense, which is largely driven by interest rate fluctuations; and it reflects bothtop-line growth as well as bottom line profitability.

Time-Based RSUs, which vest over a3-year period, serve as a retention vehicle and align the recipients’ interests with those of stockholders because the value of the RSUs, once earned,after grant, varies directly based on the Company’s stock price. Time-Based RSUs comprised approximately 1/3 of the target LTI grant date value.

Goals are aligned with the Company’s operating plan and financial guidance at the time of the grant. The Committee also considered the probability of achieving different performance levels at the time of grant as well as the uncertainty in the Company’s near-term performance.

Performance-based LTI is earned for each year in the three-year performance cycle at a rate ranging from 50% of the target number of shares or cash units (forfor performance at threshold level)level to 200% of the target number of shares or cash units (forfor performance at or above maximum level).level. If the Company’s performance for a given year is below the threshold level, no shares or cash units will be earned for that year, and the related RSUs or cash units will be cancelled. Based on 20162017non-GAAP operating profit of $216.7$233 million as reported in the Company’s earnings release results, the first thirdtranche of the 2017 grant was earned at 130.9%, the second tranche of the 2016 grant werewas earned at 95.9%86.8%, and the second third tranche of the 2015 grant werewas earned at 123.4%91.2%. If the results reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K had been used, the first tranche of the 2017 grant would have been earned at 129.6% (or a difference of 1.3%), the second tranche of the 2016 grant would have been earned at 86.6% (or a difference of 0.2%), and the third tranche of the 2015 grant would have been earned at 90.9% (or a difference of 0.3%). The Company expects to deduct an amount equal to the value of these differences from any payments to be made to impacted

individuals under the EVC Plan as a result of the Company’s performance in 2018. The table below summarizes the threshold, target and maximum performance levels, actualearnings release results, for the performance, and awards earned for 20162017 performance. The 2016Non-GAAP operating plan goal differs for the 2015 and 2016 grant years. Goals for the 2015 grant were set early in 2015 at a time of significant uncertainty regarding the Company’s near term performance. A more aggressivenon-GAAP operating profit goal was set at the time of the 2016 grant which was above the goal set in early 2015 and the actual performance in 2015.

Long-term incentive awards granted to each Named Officer in 20162017 are set forth in “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 60.53. In 2016,2017, the grant date value of the awards to each Named Officer was generally below the market median.

Long-Term Incentive Granting Practices

Most awards are granted at the time of the annual grant in the first quarter of the year, although awards may be granted as part of the hiring process or in connection with a change in responsibility. Annual grants are approved at a specified, regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee approves the type and number of awards to be granted and the performance criteria for performance-based awards. For grants in the United States, the grant date is no earlier than the date of the meeting. The dates of regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings are generally determined many months in advance as part of the normal Board calendaring process.

LTI awards granted during the year have a grant date no earlier than the date of approval. Grants that require the approval of the Compensation Committee are typically reviewed and approved at a regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting or by written consent in advance of the individual’s employment commencement or promotion date. For these awards, typically the grant date is the date of the meeting if the individual receiving the grant has already commenced employment. If the individual has not yet commenced employment, the date of grant is the business day following the individual’s first day of employment.

LOGO 49


The Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant a limited number of RSU awards as part of the annual grant process and during the year to eligible individuals (other than the Chief Executive Officer, his direct reports and employees subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Committee’s delegation of authority specifies that for these RSUs the grant date will be either (a) the first business day of the month following the date of the Chief Executive Officer’s approval, if the individual has commenced employment at Unisys,the Company, or (b) if the individual has not yet commenced employment, the first business day of the month following the individual’s date of hire. Grants made as part of the annual grant process are made at the same time as the Committee approves grants to the Named Officers. The Chief Executive Officer has no discretion with respect to choosing the grant date, and in all cases, the date of grant occurs after the date the grantee commences employment with Unisys.the Company.

Other Bonuses

The Company has a strong bias towards incentives based onpre-established goals and limits use of discretionary bonuses. In limited cases, the Company has provided modestsign-on bonuses to executives due to compensate for value forgone at a prior employer or in order to attract a new executive to join the Company.Sign-on bonuses are often paid in installments to mitigate risk if the executive leaves the Company. In 2016, Mr. Singh was provided aone-timesign-on bonus in order to recruit him to join the Company and compete with other opportunities. The first half of the bonus was paid in 2016 and is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 59; the second half was paid in February 2017.

Other Benefits

Elected officers participate in the retirement programs discussed below under “Defined Contribution Plans” and“Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” on page 68. Ms. Haugen also participates in the plans described under “Pension Benefits”.57. In addition, subject to

LOGO 56


underwriting approvals and applicable corporate governance requirements, officers elected prior to February 2015 are eligible for supplemental death benefits under the Unisys Corporation Executive Death Benefit Only Program, which provides a death benefit equal to four times an elected officer’s base salary plus target bonus during active employment and a death benefit equal to two andone-half times an elected officer’s base salary immediately prior to retirement for retired elected officers who remain eligible for the benefit. The Company increases the benefit payable to the elected officer’s beneficiary to cover any income and employment taxes due. This benefit was eliminated and is no longer available to newly elected officers. Of the current Named Officers, only Mr. Altabef and Mr. Renzi participate in this program.

Perquisites available to executive officers are limited toprimarily consist of financial counseling/tax preparation services and an annual physical examination. These benefits are designed to promote executive wellness and financial security. See the Summary Compensation Table on page 5952 for additional detail.

In order to attract and retain key executives, the Company has entered into severance and change in control agreements with the Named Officers. The severance agreements were put in place in December 2014 with input from the Committee’s independent consultant. The agreements are intended to support management continuity and retention and align with market practice. The change in control agreements are intended to provide retention and management continuity in the event of an actual or threatened change in control. More detail is provided under “Termination Arrangements” beginning on page 69.57.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m)The Compensation Committee annually reviews and considers the deductibility of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a $1,000,000 annual limit on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the Company with respectpaid to our executive officers, which includes each Named Officer employed as of the last day of the applicable year. The limitation does not apply to compensation based on the attainment of objective performance goals.

The 2016 Plan permits the Compensation Committee to design compensation awards to Named Officers, that will meet the requirements ofunder Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may grant awards underPursuant to Section 162(m), compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million generally is not deductible. However, before the 2016 Plan that meet the requirements of Section 162(m)effective date of the Internal Revenue Code at such times2017 tax reform legislation, amounts in excess of $1 million were deductible if they qualify as the Committee believes that such awards are in the best interests of the Company.“performance-based compensation.” The Committee has considered the impact of the deduction limitation and the Company’s current financial context and has determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders to base compensation solely on objective performance criteria. Rather, the Committee believes that it should retain the flexibility to base compensation on its subjective evaluation of performance as well as on the attainment of objective goals.

The exemption for qualifying performance-based compensation was repealed by recent tax legislation effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, compensation paid to our executive officers in future years in excess of $1 million may not be deductible unless it qualifies for certain transition relief (with the scope of such transition relief being uncertain at this time). While the Company will monitor guidance and developments in this area, the Compensation Committee believes that its primary responsibility is to provide a compensation program that attracts, retains and rewards the executive talent necessary for our success. Consequently, the Compensation Committee may pay or provide, and has paid or provided, compensation that is not tax deductible or is otherwise limited as to tax deductibility.

Pension Benefits

Certain of the Company’s officers participate in the following three pension plans sponsored by Unisys in the United States. Effective December 31, 2006, each of these plans was frozen and benefits thereunder ceased to accrue. No new participants are now allowed.

Unisys Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) — a qualified defined benefit pension plan available to all U.S. employees who met eligibility requirements by December 31, 2006.

Unisys Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) — anon-qualified excess defined benefit plan available to all U.S. employees who met eligibility requirements by December 31, 2006 and whose qualified plan benefits are limited by the Internal Revenue Code or limited because they have deferred compensation undernon-qualified plans. The plan is designed to make up for the benefit shortfall created by the Internal Revenue Code limits and thenon-qualified deferrals of compensation.

Unisys Corporation Elected Officer Pension Plan (the “Officer Plan”) – anon-qualified defined benefit plan available to all elected officers who met eligibility requirements by December 31, 2006. The plan is designed to provide a minimum target of retirement income for executives.

The table below presents pension plan information as of December 31, 2016 for Ms. Haugen. Mr. Altabef, Mr. Singh, Mr. Renzi, Mr. Hutto and Mr. Stafford are not participants in any of the three pension plans because they were not employed by the Company prior to when the plans were frozen.

  Supplemental Plan   10.667   255,243    
  Officer Plan   10.667   1,999,637    

The present value of the accumulated benefit has been determined assuming benefits commence as of the earliest date at which Ms. Haugen is entitled to unreduced benefits. This is generally the later of age 62 and achievement of vesting requirements. The calculations use the same actuarial assumptions used for financial disclosure requirements for the pension plans, except that the calculations assume that Ms. Haugen has terminated employment and therefore do not apply any decrements in respect of termination, mortality before age 62, disability and the like. Assumptions as to life expectancy post age 62 are based on theMRP-2007 base table (sex distinct) projected with ScaleMMP-2007. The discount rate used is 4.38% per annum. Where benefits are payable as a 50% contingent annuity without actuarial reduction, which is the case for Ms. Haugen, who is an Officer Plan participant who is married, benefits have been valued using actual spouse information. Post-2004non-qualified benefits for terminated executives have been valued assuming benefit commencement at the later of age 55 or termination of employment with a 6 month delay reflected for key employees and the form of payment required under plan provisions.

LOGO 65


The following summarizes the benefits under the specific plans:

Unisys Pension Plan

On or before December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were eligible to participate in the Pension Plan on the January 1 or July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and one year of service with Unisys.

The Pension Plan provides benefits under two benefit formulas:

1. For service beginning on or after January 1, 2003, benefits accrue each year under a cash balance formula under which a participant’s bookkeeping account is credited with an amount equal to 4% of plan compensation. In addition, the account balance is credited with interest on a monthly basis using the annual interest rates on5-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Notes, plus 0.25%. Generally, participants vest in the benefit after completion of three years of service with Unisys. The vested cash balance benefit is available for payment following termination of employment, and the normal form of payment is a life annuity for single participants (the participant receives the periodic amount during his or her lifetime, with no survivor benefit payable after his or her death), or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity for married participants (the participant receives a reduced periodic benefit during his or her lifetime to reflect the survivor payments, and the participant’s surviving beneficiary receives 50% of the periodic amount the participant received). Other annuity forms are also available on an actuarially equivalent basis. The benefit is also available in the form of a lump sum distribution. Ms. Haugen is eligible for the cash balance benefit.

2. For employees hired prior to January 1, 2003, benefits are also based on a career pay formula. Each year, the annual accrued benefit payable to a participant at normal retirement date (age 65) is increased by 1% of plan compensation, plus 0.35% of plan compensation in excess ofone-half of the average Social Security taxable wage base for the five preceding years. Participants ultimately are eligible for the larger of: (a) the career pay formula through the date of termination of employment; or (b) the career pay formula accrued through December 31, 2002 plus the cash balance benefit described above. Generally, participants vest in the benefit after completion of three years of service with Unisys. The vested benefit is available for payment following termination of employment and attainment of early retirement eligibility (age 55). The benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the benefit commences prior to age 65. Should the employee terminate employment after attainment of both age 55 and 20 years of service with Unisys, the benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the benefit commences prior to age 62. The normal form of payment of the vested career pay benefit is a life annuity for single participants, or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity for married participants. Other annuity forms are also available on an actuarially equivalent basis. Ms. Haugen is eligible for the career pay benefit.

For both formulas, plan compensation is salary, commissions, overtime pay, paid bonus and paid accrued and unused vacation. Compensation includes amounts deferred on abefore-tax basis under the Unisys Savings Plan. Excluded from compensation are severance payments, supplements, compensation deferred under anon-qualified plan and other forms of extraordinary compensation. Plan compensation is limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

LOGO 66


As of December 31, 2016, Ms. Haugen, whose employment with the Company terminated as of November 1, 2016, was vested in her Pension Plan benefit and is eligible to immediately receive the cash balance portion of her benefit. She is also eligible to receive an early retirement benefit under the career pay formula.

Although benefits ceased to accrue under the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2006, the cash balance bookkeeping accounts continue to grow with interest credits until paid.

Unisys Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan

On or before December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were eligible to participate in the Supplemental Plan on the January 1 or July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and one year of service with Unisys.

The Supplemental Plan provides benefits under the same provisions as the Pension Plan except as follows:

Plan compensation includes compensation deferred undernon-qualified plans and is not limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17).

The benefit payable under the Pension Plan is applied as an offset to the benefits available under the Supplemental Plan.

Benefits accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005 are payable at the same time and form as the Pension Plan benefit. Benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 are payable following the later of (a) termination of employment (or six months thereafter if the individual is among the top 50 most highly compensated officers, as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) or (b) attainment of age 55. Such benefit is payable in the form of a life annuity for single participants, or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity for married participants. No optional forms of benefit are currently available for benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 under the Supplemental Plan.

As of December 31, 2016, Ms. Haugen, whose employment with the Company terminated as of November 1, 2016, was vested in her Supplemental Plan benefit. Ms. Haugen was vested as of December 31, 2004 and is eligible to immediately receive thepre-2005 cash balance portion of her benefit. Ms. Haugen is also eligible to receive an early retirement benefit. Ms. Haugen is required to commence the post-2004 portion of her benefit at termination with a 6 month delay, specifically on May 1, 2017.

Although benefits ceased to accrue under the Supplemental Plan effective December 31, 2006, the cash balance bookkeeping accounts continue to grow with interest credits until paid.

The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the Supplemental Plan. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the Company is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the present value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.

Unisys Corporation Elected Officer Pension Plan

Only elected officers of Unisys are eligible to participate in the Officer Plan. The Officer Plan was closed to entrants as of December 31, 2006. As a result, Ms. Haugen is the only Named Officer who is eligible for the plan.

LOGO 67


The Officer Plan provides a gross annual accrued benefit equal to 4% of final average compensation for each of the first 10 years of credited service, plus 1% of final average compensation for each year of credited service in excess of 10 (but not in excess of 30), minus 50% of the participant’s Social Security benefit. This benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the benefit commences prior to age 62. The gross benefit is offset by the benefits payable under both the Pension Plan and the Supplemental Plan.

Final average compensation is the average of the highest consecutive 60 months of plan compensation out of the last 120 months of employment, but no compensation after December 31, 2006 is included. Plan compensation is identical to that used for the Supplemental Plan.

Benefits accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005 are payable at the same time and form as the Pension Plan benefit. Benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 are payable following the later of (a) termination of employment (or six months thereafter if the individual is among the top 50 most highly compensated officers, as defined under Section 409A) or (b) attainment of age 55. Such benefit is payable in the form of a life annuity for single participants, or a 50% contingent annuity, which is not actuarially reduced, for married participants. No optional forms of benefit are currently available for benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 under the Officer Plan.

Generally, benefits under the Officer Plan vest upon the earliest to occur of (a) attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service with Unisys, (b) for executives who were participants on or after January 1, 1997 and before July 19, 2001, attainment of age 50 and five years of service with Unisys or (c) a change in control of Unisys. As of December 31, 2016, Ms. Haugen, whose employment terminated as of November 1, 2016, was vested in her Officer Plan benefits. Ms. Haugen is currently eligible to receive an early retirement benefit. Ms. Haugen is required to commence the post-2004 portion of her benefit at termination with a 6 month delay, specifically on May 1, 2017.

The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the Officer Plan. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the Company is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the present value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Named Officers based in the U.S. are eligible to participate in the Unisys Savings Plan, which is atax-qualified defined contribution plan with a matching contributions feature. In 2016,2017, the Company made matching contributions under the plan of 50% of each 1% of eligible pay contributed by a participant on abefore-tax basis, up to the first 6% of eligible pay contributed.

Mr. Stafford is eligible to participate in the U.K. Unisys Defined Contribution Plan, which is a U.K.tax-qualified defined contribution plan with a matching contribution feature. In 2016, the Company made matching contributions under the plan of 150% of each 1% of eligible pay contributed by a participant on abefore-tax basis, up to the first 4% of eligible pay contributed.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

The table below shows unaudited information with respect to compensation of the Named Officers that has been deferred under a plan that is nottax-qualified. Under the

LOGO 68


Company’snon-qualified deferred compensation plans, eligible employees may defer until a future date payment of all or any portion of their annual salary or bonus, as well as any vested share unit award under one of the Company’s long-term incentive plans. Amounts deferred are recorded in a memorandum account for each participant and are credited or debited with earnings or losses as if such amounts had been invested in one or more of the professionally managed investment options available under the Unisys Savings Plan, as selected by the participant. Participants may change their investment options at any time. Account balances will be paid either in a single lump sum or in annual installments, as elected by the participant. The memorandum accounts are not funded, and the right to receive future payments of amounts recorded in these accounts is an unsecured claim against the Company’s general assets. However, the Company has established a grantor trust relating to itspre-2005non-qualified deferred compensation plan. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the Company is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the aggregate account balances under that plan.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Under the agreements and plans discussed below, the Current Named Officers would be entitled to the following payments and benefits upon termination of employment and/or a change in control of the Company.

Termination Arrangements

Mr. Altabef’s Letter Agreement

Under the letter agreement covering the terms and conditions of Mr. Altabef’s employment as President and Chief Executive Officer, if Mr. Altabef’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Altabef for good reason (defined generally as a reduction in aggregate compensation target, a material reduction in duties or authority or removal as Chief Executive Officer) prior to a change of control of the Company, Mr. Altabef will be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times the sum of (1) his base salary (at its then current rate) plus (2) his target bonus amount (as in effect on the date of termination), and monthly payments for up to 24 months equal to the difference between the monthly COBRA rate and the monthly active employee contribution rate applicable to Mr. Altabef, subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company. The letter agreement includesnon-compete,non-solicitation andnon-disparagement provisions effective for 12 months from the date of termination of employment for any reason. If

LOGO 69


Mr. Altabef materially breaches any of these provisions, the Company has the right to terminate any payments described above that have not yet been made and to seek the recoupment of any such payments that were previously made.

LOGO 57


Executive Officer Severance Agreements

The Company has entered into letter agreements with certain of its executive officers, including the Current Named Officers other than Mr. Altabef, providing that if any such executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by such executive officer for good reason (defined generally as a reduction in duties or authority, a reduction in annual base salary or a requirement that an executive relocate from their principal residence or perform their principal duties in a new location), that executive officer will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the sum of his or her annual base salary plus his or her annual target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments during the twelve month period following the date of termination. Each such executive officer will also be entitled to continued medical, dental and vision coverage for up to one year at the same costs applicable to active employees. In addition, if such executive officer is a participant under the Unisys Corporation Executive Death Benefit Only Program at the time of termination, the executive officer will be deemed to have met the age and service requirements for retirement as set forth in the program and, upon the executive officer’s death, his or her beneficiary shall be entitled to the post-retirement death benefits provided under the program.

The amount of the termination payments to which the Current Named Officers would be entitled if their employment had terminated on the last business day of 20162017 under circumstances entitling them to the payments above are set forth below, along with the total amounts that would have been payable to them in respect of medical, dental and vision coverage under the terms of their respective agreements.

The Current Named Officers are also each party to a change in control agreement with the Company, as described below. They are not entitled to receive duplicate payments under their change in control agreement and the above-described agreements. In the event of a conflict, they will be entitled to the benefits under their change in control agreement.

Change in Control Agreements

The Company has entered into change in control employment agreements with its executive officers, including the Current Named Officers. The agreements are intended to retain the services of these executives and provide for continuity of management in the event

LOGO 70


of any actual or threatened change in control. Mr. Altabef’s change in control employment agreement is substantially similar to the other executive officer’s change in control employment agreements except that the lump sum payment relating to annual salary and bonus will be equal to two and a half times the sum of his annual base salary plus the higher of his target bonus prior to the change of control, the highest annual bonus paid in the three years prior to the change of control or the annual bonus paid after the change of control. Mr. Stafford’s change in control employment agreement is also substantially similar to the other executive officers’ change in control employment agreements except that his has been modified to reflect that he is employed by and receives benefits from a subsidiary of the Company in the U.K. with terms relating to the continuation of health and benefits customary in that country. The material terms of each of the change in control employment agreements with the Current Named Officers are summarized below.

LOGO 58


A change in control is generally defined as (1) the acquisition of 20% or more of Unisys common stock, (2) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors unless approved by the incumbent directors (other than as a result of a contested election) and (3) certain reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions. Each agreement has a term ending on the third anniversary of the date of the change in control and provides that in the event of a change in control each executive will have specific rights and receive certain benefits. Those benefits include the right to continue in the Company’s employ during the term, performing comparable duties to those being performed immediately prior to the change in control and at compensation and benefit levels that are at least equal to the compensation and benefit levels in effect immediately prior to the change in control. For purposes of determining compensation levels, base salary must be at least equal to the highest salary paid or payable to the executive during the 12 months preceding the change in control, and bonus must be at least equal to the highest bonus paid or payable to the executive under the EVC Plan (or any comparable bonus or retention amount under any predecessor or successor plan or retention agreement) for the three fiscal years preceding the change in control (the “Recent Annual Bonus”).

If, following a change in control, the Company terminates the executive without cause or the executive terminates employment for good reason (generally defined as a reduction in the executive’s compensation or responsibilities or a change in the executive’s job location), the terminated executive will be entitled to receive special termination benefits. These benefits are as follows: (1) apro-rated bonus for the year in which the termination occurs (based on the higher of (a) the Recent Annual Bonus and (b) the annual bonus paid or payable for the most recent fiscal year during the term of the agreement (such higher amount, the “Highest Annual Bonus”)), (2) a lump sum payment equal to two years of salary and bonus (based on the highest salary paid or payable during the term of the agreement and the Highest Annual Bonus) (or, in the case of Mr. Altabef, as described above), (3) a lump sum payment equal to the amount of premiums the Company would have paid to continue the executive in the Company’s welfare (other than health) plans for thetwo-year period, (4) for two years following the termination of employment, continued eligibility for coverage under the Company’s health plans at the same premium rates applicable to active employees and (6)(5) outplacement services. To receive health coverage, the executive will be required to pay the full premium charged for the coverage. The Company will then reimburse the executive the amount of the premium that exceeds the amount the executive would have paid as an employee. Except as described below, if any payment or distribution by the Company to the executive is determined to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment or distribution will be reduced to

LOGO 71


avoid the imposition of the excise tax if doing so would result in greaterafter-tax benefits to the executive. The executive is under no obligation to mitigate amounts payable under these agreements.

(1)The agreements provide for reasonable outplacement services directly related to the termination of the executive’s employment. The executive may select the provider of outplacement services, and therefore, the costs actually incurred will vary by individual. The Company believes that the amounts shown in this column are a reasonable estimate of the potential costs of outplacement services.

 

(2)Amounts shown in this column do not include the value of the vested awards shown in the tables below under “Long-Term Incentive Plans”.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, if a change in control occurs and a participant’s employment terminates for “good reason” or other than for cause within 24 months of the change in control, all stock options and Time-Based RSUs will become fully vested, apro-rata portion (based on the completed portion of the related performance cycle) of the target amount of Performance-Based RSUs granted under the Unisys Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan, and the full amount of the target amount of Performance-Based RSUs granted under the Unisys Corporation 2010 Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan and the 2016 Plan will vest. If a change in control and a termination of employment had occurred on the last business day of 2016,2017, the Current Named Officers would have become vested in the following number of RSUs, having the following values, and would have become entitled to receive the following amount of long-term performance cash:

A discussionCEO Pay Ratio

Pursuant to Item 402(u) of amounts payableRegulationS-K, the Company is required to provide the following information with respect to the Named Officers underyear ended December 31, 2017:

The median of the pension plans sponsored byannual total compensation of all employees of the Company begins(other than Mr. Altabef, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) was $30,381.

The annual total compensation of Mr. Altabef, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, was $7,530,080.

Based on page 65.this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is 248 to 1.

To identify the median paid employee and determine such employee’s annual total compensation, the Company assessed its employee population as of December 31, 2017 and determined employee compensation using the12-month period ending December 31, 2017. On this date, the Company’s employee population consisted of 20,593 individuals. Approximately 75% of the Company’s employees are based in countries in which the average pay is less than the average pay of the Company’s associates in the United States. The Company also calculated the Chief Executive Officer pay ratio using its U.S. population. The median of the annual total compensation of the Company’s U.S. employees (other than Mr. Altabef) was $85,201 as of December 31, 2017. Based on this information, the ratio of total annual compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of the Company’s U.S. employees is 88 to 1.

The Company determined its median employee by: (i) calculating total target cash compensation as the sum of salary and target variable compensation, including target sales bonus, for each of the Company’s employees, (ii) ranking the total target cash compensation of all employees except for the Chief Executive Officer from lowest to highest, and (iii) picking the employee who was in the middle of the list.
