ITEM 1 RECOMMENDATION: OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT  YOU VOTEFOR THE ELECTION OF ALL ELEVENTEN DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT

 

ITEM 2

  

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM (SAY ON PAY)

 

You are being asked to approve, on an advisory basis, our executive officer compensation program as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure, as provided starting on page 2122 of this proxy statement. We believe that our program incentivizes and rewards our leadership for increasing shareholder value and aligns the interests of our leadership with those of our shareholders on an annual and long-term basis.

In May 2018, the Company appointed Patricia A. Stitzel to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, and the shareholders elected her to our Board. The direct compensation package for Ms. Stitzel, as described in the “Elements of Officer Direct Compensation” section starting on page 28 below, increased her base salary from $550,000 to $850,000, her Annual Incentive Program (“AIP”) target bonus percentage from 80% to 105% (note that it was further increased to 115% in February 2019) and her 2018 stock grant fair value from $900,000 to $2,500,000. As part of this executive transition, E.V. (Rick) Goings retired as Chief Executive Officer and was appointed as the Company’s Executive Chairman. In recognition of his reduced involvement in the day-to-day activities of the business following the transition, the Board reduced Mr. Goings’ direct compensation package through decreases of his base salary from $1,000,000 to $500,000, his AIP target bonus from 115% to 100% and his stock grant fair value from $5,000,000 to $2,000,000.

With respect to 2019 compensation practices, the Company made several important changes, including the addition of a local currency sales growth measure to our Annual Incentive Award program, with a tripwire whereby no award will be paid based on sales performance unless at least threshold performance is met under the program’s income measure. In addition, changes were made to the November 2018 annual stock-based incentive program grants, from a previously weighted mix of 45% stock options and 55% performance shares to 25% stock options, 25% restricted stock units and 50% performance shares. Also, the Company decided to shift the timing of the grants of both elements of the 2019 – 2021 performance share awards (relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) and earnings per share (“EPS”)) to February 2019, and to shift the timing of all elements of annual equity grants going forward from November to February, beginning with February 2020.

 

ITEM 2 RECOMMENDATION: OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTEFOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

 

ITEM 3

APPROVE THE TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORPORATION 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN

We are seeking approval of the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2019 Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), to authorize 850,000 additional shares (which is 2.65 million fewer shares than approved by the shareholders in May 2016 under our existing 2016 Incentive Plan). After rolling over the shares outstanding under our existing 2016 Plan of approximately 1.73 million shares, this would bring the total authorized shares for use under the 2019 Plan to approximately 2.58 million shares. Based on a review of prevalent equity compensation practices, the Compensation & Management Development Committee of our Board decided to request a smaller quantity of shares and return to the shareholders more frequently, rather than requesting a larger quantity less frequently.

The 2019 Plan was largely based on the 2016 Incentive Plan, but with modifications to delete provisions specifically included to comply with the historical performance-based compensation exemption under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and other administrative changes such as (i) deleting the fungible share ratio for deducting shares subject to equity awards granted under the 2019 Plan from the authorized share pool, (ii) expanding the ability of the Compensation & Management Development Committee of our Board to provide for continued or accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with terminations of employment, and (iii) requiring that all dividends and dividend equivalents be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying equity awards.

ITEM 3 RECOMMENDATION: OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTEFOR THE APPROVAL OF THE TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORPORATION 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN.

ITEM 4  

RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 20192021

 

You are being asked to ratify our Audit Finance and Corporate ResponsibilityFinance Committee’s appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019.2021.

Voting at the Meeting

The Board has fixed the close of business on March 25, 20198, 2021 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the 20192021 annual meeting. On that date there were outstanding 48,733,51249,574,365 shares of the Company’s common stock, each of which is entitled to one vote. A majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the 20192021 annual meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In this regard, abstentions and “brokernon-votes” will be included in the number of shareholders present at the 20192021 annual meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Shares for which there is a properly executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated. If no instructions are indicated in a properly executed proxy, such shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by voting in person at the 20192021 annual meeting, or by giving written notice of revocation or a later-dated proxy to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the closing of the polls at the 20192021 annual meeting. The Company has appointed an officer of Equiniti Trust Company, transfer agent for the Company, as the independent inspector of election to act at the 20192021 annual meeting.

For all matters to be voted upon by shareholders at the 20192021 annual meeting, the Company’s Amended and RestatedBy-Laws (the“By-Laws”) require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 20192021 annual meeting. Other than with respect to Proposal 3 (the approval of the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2019 Incentive Plan),meeting, excluding abstentions, are not treated as votes cast andwhich will not have any impact on the outcome of any of the matters to be voted upon by shareholders at the 20192021 annual meeting. However, with respect to Proposal 3, per the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, abstentions will be treated as “votes cast” and an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “against” Proposal 3 for purposes of determining whether Proposal 3 has been approved.

Brokers who are registered shareholders owning shares on behalf of beneficial owners are required under stock exchange rules to obtain the instructions of beneficial owners before casting a vote on anon-routine matter. In the absence of such instructions, the broker may not vote the shares on such matters, and such a situation is referred to as a “brokernon-vote.” The voting items regarding the election of directors and the advisory vote regarding the Company’s executive compensation program and the approval of the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2019 Incentive Plan require a beneficial owner’s instructions to a broker. Brokernon-votes are not treated as votes cast for purposes of these items and will not have any impact on the outcome. The voting item to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is the only routine matter on which brokers who are registered shareholders owning shares on behalf of beneficial owners are permitted under stock exchange rules to cast a vote without instructions of beneficial owners.

incentive program design related to material risk-taking, recommendations on proper governance processes with respect to executive compensation and the provision of accurate and timely data for decision-making by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has engaged Meridian to provide similar services in 2019. 2021.

The total fees for such additional services in 2018 were approximately $105,000. The Compensationthe Nominating Committee considered SEC rules and New York Stock Exchange listing standards when assessing the independence of its consultants, and concluded that both were independent under such guidelines, and that the other work performed by Aon during 2018 did not affect its independence. Among the factors considered in the independence analysis for both compensation consultants were the scope of compensation and additional services provided to the Company, the total fees for related and unrelated services paid to the consultant as a percentage of its total annual revenue, the policies and procedures of the consultant related to preventing conflicts of interest, and the fact that no business or personal relationships exist between the consultants andBoard approved modifications to the Compensation Committee or managementcharter to move primary responsibility for ESG matters to the Nominating Committee, and that no stock of the Company is owned by the consultants performing work forto rename the Compensation Committee.

There were fivethirteen meetings of the full Board meetings held in 2018.2020. No incumbent director attended fewer than 9075 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which such director served that were held during the period that such director served as a director or committee member. The Company’s corporate governance principles provide that directors should be available to attend scheduled and special Board and committee meetings, as well as the annual meeting of shareholders, on a consistent basis and in person. All of the Board’s directors, who were directors at the time, attended the annual meeting of shareholders in 2018.2020.

Corporate Governance

The Board has established corporate governance principles, a code of conduct for its officers, employees and directors, a code of ethics for financial executives and charters for each of its three standing primary committees: Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee. These documents may be found on the Company’s website (www.tupperwarebrands.com) by clicking on “Investors,” selecting the “Corporate Governance” tab and then selecting “Governance Documents”. The code of conduct and code of ethics apply to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, among others. The Company will, to the extent required by law or regulation, disclose on its website waivers of, or amendments to, its code of conduct or code of ethics, if and when there are any.

In addition, the Company has implemented written, telephonic and electronic means for interested parties to communicate directly with the Company’s compliance officers (the heads of its Finance, Law, Human Resources and Internal Audit functions) or with thenon-employee members of the Company’s Board. Communications from interested parties tonon-employee directors are routed to the chairperson of the Audit Committee, who then determines whether such communication shall be distributed to allnon-employee directors, makes such distribution if so determined, and oversees the reaction to such communications by the Board, if appropriate. Instructions regarding the various means to communicate with the Company’s compliance officers and thenon-employee members of the

Company’s Board are located on the Company’s website (www.tupperwarebrands.com). The Board invites interested parties, including shareholders, to contact the Board or any of its individual members, including the Presiding Director,Chairman, on any topic of interest through the online form available on the Company’s website (www.tupperwarebrands.com) in the Investors section under the Board of Directors tab on the Corporate Governance page, or in writing to the Board, c/o Tupperware Brands Corporation, Post Office Box 2353, Orlando, Florida 32802, USA. These avenues of communication are important in facilitating direct engagement with investors and other interested parties, and may be confidential and, if desired, anonymous. Communication may also be made telephonically via a confidential toll free hotline at877-217-6220 in the United States and Canada or by calling collect to+1-770-582-5215 from all other locations. The hotline is staffed by multi-lingual professionals through an independent company.

Each regularly-scheduledin-person meeting (and certain telephonic meetings) of the Board includes an executive session ofnon-employee members of the Board. The Presiding Director,Non-Executive Chairman, Susan M. Cameron, acts as the chairperson of the executive sessions of thenon-employee members of the Board. See the heading “Board Leadership Structure” below for more information.

The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the followingnon-employee members of the Board who served during 20182020 and year to date in 20192021 (and each entity with which such person is affiliated) has no material relationship with the Company, taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances, including without limitation, commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, and that each such member is independent, in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing standards: Catherine A. Bertini, Susan M. Cameron, Kriss Cloninger III, Meg Crofton, Angel R. Martinez, Antonio Monteiro de Castro,Deborah G. Ellinger, James H. Fordyce, Aedhmar Hynes, Timothy Minges, Christopher D. O’Leary, David R. Parker, Richard T. Riley, Joyce M. RochéMauro Schnaidman and M. Anne Szostak. Mr. O’Leary was not independent while he served as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company from January to April 2020, and has recused himself from all deliberations of the Compensation Committee involving his executive compensation (including his 2020 AIP).

The Board maintains a retirement policy that applies to all directors.Non-employee directors who first joined the Board after May 8, 2015 Directors shall retire from the Board upon the date of the annual meeting of shareholders following their attainment of ageseventy-two (72). (age seventy-five (75) in the case of Non-employeenon-employee directors who first joined the Board prior to such date shall retire fromMay 8, 2015) or, in the case of non-employee directors who first joined the Board upon the dateon or after May 22, 2019, after completing fifteen (15) years of the annual meeting of shareholders following their attainment of age seventy-five (75). Employee directors shall retire fromservice on the Board, upon the earlier of the date of their retirement or termination from employment with the Company, or at the end of the month in which their sixty-fifth birthday occurs.whichever comes first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Nominating CommitteeBoard may waive the retirement policy and recommend there-election or continuance in office of any director.its discretion. In addition, executive officers shall retire (from their office and from the Board) at the end of the month in which their sixty-fifth birthday occurs, unless the Board requests such executive officer remains in office beyond such date. In November 2018, the Nominating Committee waived the employee director retirement policy for Mr. Goings, permitting him to be nominated for election as a director for the May 2019 to 2020 term. Mr. Goings is retiring from his employment position on May 22, 2019, following the annual meeting of shareholders.

Diversity

The Board values diversity as a factor in selecting members to nominate to serve on the Board, and believes that the diversity that exists in its composition provides significant benefit to the Company. Although there is no specific policy on diversity, the Nominating Committee takes various considerations into account in its selection criteria for new directors. Such considerations may include gender, race, national origin, functional background, executive or professional experience and international experience, among others. For example, consistent with the value placed on gender diversity by the Board, nearly 50%over 40% of the Company’s current directors (and over 50%serving in 2020 and 40% of the current director nominees)nominees are women. See the “Summary Information about our Director Nominees” chart included in the Proxy Summary section above for more information.

Strategy and Risk Oversight

The Board participates actively in the development and approval of corporate and business strategy, both through regularly scheduled meetings, and throughout the year through ad hoc, direct and robust interaction with Company management. These discussions focus on the areas of greatest strategic importance to the Company, including but not limited to: global business model transformation planning, geographic expansion, new product introductions, brand enhancement, capital structure, and talent acquisition and management.

The Board also takes very seriously its involvement in risk oversight, which involves the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the full Board. The Audit Committee receives materials from management on a quarterly basis to address the identification and status of major risks to the Company, including steps to mitigate risk. Enterprise risk management is a standing agenda item at each of its meetings. The Audit Committee also reviews the

Company’s enterprise risk management process for the identification of and response to major risks. The Compensation Committee reviews compensation structures and programs to evaluate whether they encourage excessive risk taking for compensation purposes that could result in material adverse effects upon the Company. At eachin-person, regularly scheduled meeting of the full Board, the major risks are identified to Board members, and the Chairman of the Audit Committee reports on the activities of that committee, including regarding risks. In addition, on an annual basis, the full Board receives a presentation by management regarding the enterprise risk management process, currently identified risks and associated responses to those risks. This process addresses all categories of risks facing the Company, including but not limited to: capital allocation and liquidity, leadership succession, the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, business strategy, transformation and change management, talent management, reputational risks, financial reporting and controls, tax and treasury, legal, regulatory and compliance issues and operations issues including supply chain, product development and cybersecurity.

The Company’s stock trading policy prohibits members of the Board and all employees from entering into hedging transactions that are intended to offset, in whole or in part, the economic risks associated with the ownership of Company stock. Types of hedging transactions prohibited under the Company’s stock trading policy, include, but are not limited to, selling short in Company securities and trading in exchange traded derivative instruments, such as puts, calls, spreads, straddles, etc. related to the Company’s securities. The Company’s stock trading policy also prohibits members of the Board and all employees from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan without seeking pre-clearance from the Chief Legal Officer.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board annually evaluates its leadership structure, including whether the same individual should serve both as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. If the same individual serves as both Chairman and CEO, or if the Chairman is otherwise not independent, the Board will select an independent PresidingLead Director. In May 2018, Ms. Stitzel was elected

On March 11, 2020, the Board appointed Mr. Miguel Fernandez as President and CEO& Chief Executive Officer, effective April 6, 2020, and Mr. Goings retiredRichard Goudis as Executive Vice Chairman, effective March 12, 2020. Upon Mr. Fernandez commencing his role as President & Chief Executive Officer effective April 6, 2020, Mr. Christopher O’Leary stepped down from serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer, a position he held since November 2019, but continued to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. O’Leary, a recognized leader in the consumer packaged goods sector, first joined the Board in January 2019 as an independent director. Ms. Susan Cameron has served as Non-Executive Chairman since November 2019, after previously serving as Lead Director of the Company. Because the Non-Executive Chairman is independent, the Board presently does not have an independent Lead Director.

In November 2019, Ms. Patricia Stitzel, who served as CEO, but continued as Executive Chairman. TheChairman and a director of the Company, stepped down from her roles. At that time, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO atto enable Ms. Cameron and Mr. O’Leary to focus on their new roles, particularly during this period of transition. Previously, in May 2019, the Board combined the roles of CEO and Chairman when Ms. Stitzel, who then served as CEO of the Company, was appointed to the additional role of Chairman. At that time, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to combine the roles of CEO and Chairman in order to provide for continuityconsistency in leadership. From May 2018 to May 2019, the Company separated the roles of Board leadership during the transition,CEO and enableChairman, with Ms. Stitzel to focus on operatingserving as CEO and managingMr. E.V. (Rick) Goings serving as Executive Chairman.

The Board in its judgment has determined that the Companycurrent leadership structure is in her new role as President and CEO. As CEO, Ms. Stitzel reports to the Board and, as a director, she participates in all Board meetings.

As neither the Executive Chairman nor the CEO is independent, the Board has an independent Presiding Director, presently Susan M. Cameron, to provide effective leadership and representation for the independent directors. The dutiesbest interest of the Presiding Director include presiding at meetings of the independent directors, serving as liaison between the Board, the Executive ChairmanCompany’s shareholders and the CEO, approving schedules, agendasemployees to accelerate a successful turnaround and materials sent to the Board, oversight of the Board and CEO evaluation processes, and coordination of the director candidate interview process. She also advises the Executive Chairman and the CEO on the quality, quantity and timeliness of management information provided to the Board, and makes recommendations on Board committee membership, chairs and rotation. She has the authority to call meetings of the independent directors, including if requested by major shareholders of the Company, and may be available for consultation and direct communication with such shareholders.

This leadership structure, as evidenced by the feedback of directors, provides for a highly-conducive atmosphere for directors to exercise their responsibilities and fiduciary duties, and to enjoy adequate opportunities to thoroughly deliberate matters before the Board and to make informed and independent decisions.growth strategy. The Board will continue to evaluate its leadership structure and will determine whether continuing to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders based on circumstances existing at the time.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Tupperware Brands Corporation is committed to maintaining a transparent executive compensation program, especially during turbulent times.

The following message from the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board highlights key aspects of our executive compensation program. A detailed discussion follows in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A).

Message from the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board

Dear Shareholders,

Much better than expected is how we would summarize 2020. When the Board approved the annual targets in March 2020, the Company was in a period of significant change:

Top-line sales were in double digit decline for two consecutive quarters;

An Interim CEO had been in place since November 2019;

$77 million in cost savings had been identified;

Debt covenants were renegotiated in February to avoid being exceeded;

And this was all before the impact from COVID-19.

Miguel Fernandez and Rich Goudis joined our Company several weeks later. Our objective as a Board and Compensation Committee was to allow the new management team to onboard, deal with the immediate crisis of COVID-19, and begin the hard work of turning around the Company. We knew we would need to stand in support of management and to remain flexible. For example, the Board reduced its fees when senior leaders volunteered to reduce their salaries. We also eliminated the excess meeting fee provision for non-management directors, as it was “all hands-on deck”.

In the second and third quarters we observed that management was moving with decisiveness and lightning speed to not only deal with COVID-19 but also to drive its turnaround agenda. The growth strategies from the new three-year plan were starting to work, and management increased the annual cost savings target to $180 million.

By November, it was clear the Company was going to have a stronger than expected year and most importantly, that we had hired the right new leaders to take us forward. We adjusted the incentive program to better align with what was happening; the Company would return to both top-line and bottom-line growth, significantly improve its cost structure, re-finance its 2021 indebtedness, and accelerate the divestiture of non-core assets.

As you can see in the reported financials, the Company’s performance was much better than we expected at the beginning of the year. While we are still early in the turnaround and have more hard work to do, we feel particularly good about the Company’s new growth strategy and the management team.

The Company distributes its products into nearly 80 countries primarily through approximately 3.2 million independent sales force members around the world. Worldwide, the Company for growth and feedback from shareholders, the Committee has made changes to the 2019 executive compensation programs as described here andengages in the “Elementsmarketing, manufacture, and sale of Officer Direct Compensation” section below.

Beginning in 2019,design-centric preparation, storage, and serving solutions for the AIP design introducedkitchen and home through the Tupperware brand name and beauty products through the Fuller, NaturCare, Nutrimetics and Nuvobrands.

The Company primarily uses a direct selling business model to 25% of the potential award along with incomedistribute and cash flow measures accounting for 50% and 25%, respectively. The sales measure includes a tripwire, whereby no award will be paid based on sales performance unless at least threshold performance is met under the program’s income measure. The Committee believes that this choice of metrics and weightings mix best positions the Company for long-term success.

Following the Committee’s review, and in consultation with its executive compensation consultant, the November 2018 stock-based incentive program grants changed from a previously weighted mix of 45% stock options and 55%market products,

The Company’s most recent financial performance, highlighted below, reflects a significant turnaround in top line revenue growth and bottom-line profitability from the timingCompany’s performance trends in recent years:

Sales – $1.740 billion, a 3% decrease from 2019 (an increase of 3% after adjusting for foreign currency)

In May 2018,2020, for the fifthseventh year in a row, shareholders overwhelmingly approved the Company’snon-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, with approximately 97%90% of the votes cast in support of the proposal. Both the Committee and the Company’s senior leadership team appreciated the multi-year shareholder support of“say-on-pay” and viewed such support as an endorsement of the Company’s executive compensation program. While no changes were made in direct response to the 20182020 “say-on-pay” vote, the Committee has made several changes to the November 2018 stock grant and 2019Company’s executive compensation programs as summarized aboveprogram to further align the program with market practices and in response to the “ElementsCOVID-19 pandemic.

Specifically, the Committee modified the Company’s form of Officer Direct Compensation” section below, to better support business initiativeschange-in-control agreements effective for all executive officers on May 19, 2020, which, among other items, eliminated the continuation of perquisites post-termination under the terms of the agreements, and drive performance.any change-in-control related excise taxes.

2018 Compensation Highlights

The following table illustrates the basic elements of each of the NEO compensation arrangements for 2018 and 2017 and indicates the year-over-year percentage changes. The amounts reported for base salary and Annual Incentive Program (cash) compensation represent amounts earned by the NEOs with respect to the applicable year, while the amounts reported for long-term incentive value represent the grant date fair value of the awards granted during the applicable year. Annual Incentive Program payments reflect the Company’s performance against financial objectives for each of the NEO’s respective areas of responsibility. Annual andnon-recurring long-term incentive awards reflect Committee approved values awarded in each indicated fiscal year. Each of these elements of compensation, including the Committee’s reasoning for changes, is described further below under their respective headings, following “Elements of Officer Direct Compensation”. In general, many of the 2018 compensation adjustments were made in connection with or to support the CEO succession and other executive officer transitions described above.

Note that the table above provides a general description of compensation arrangements, and is not intended to replace or replicate the 2018 Summary Compensation Table that appears on page 39 below.

The Committee believes that actual compensation earned by the Company’s executive officers is appropriately aligned with Company performance and shareholder interests through the design of the Company’s target compensation program.

As illustrated in the graphs below under “Target Pay Mix for Executive Officers,” the performance-based portion of total target compensation for the CEO and other NEOs represented 80% and 66% on average, respectively. The Company’s 2018 Annual Incentive Program payments were based on the achievement againstone-year goals in (i) pretax or net income and/or segment profit, if applicable, measured in constant currency to accurately reflect achievement against objectives established at the beginning of the year, and (ii) free cash flow. As described below in greater detail, the Company calculates the financial results under the Annual Incentive Program and Performance Share Program based on the same foreign exchange rates upon which the goals were set. Given the Company’s extremely high proportion of revenue and segment profit generated outside the United States (over 90%), the Committee believes that this approach provides the best measurement of management’s success.

The Company’s annual equity awards are designed to align directly compensation with shareholder interests. Stock options and restricted stock units drive stock appreciation while the Performance Share Program (“PSP”) drives long-term, sustainable financial performance. The Committee sets the weighting of each of the respective elements of compensation to maintain what it believes to be an appropriate balance of short- and long-term incentives within the overall total compensation package.

During 2018, the Committee made annual long-term incentive awards to each NEO consisting of stock options and restricted stock units that vest over a three-year period and performance-based share awards that vest in 2020 based on achievement against three-year performance goals, as described below under “Long-Term Incentive Programs.” In November 2018, the Committee granted stock option and restricted stock units to NEOs, and approved the fair value of performance share units to be granted on the date of its February 2019 Committee meeting. The Committee does not intend to grant annual long-term equity awards in November 2019, but intends to shift the annual grant timing to a common date on the date of (or closely following) its February 2020 Committee meeting.

2018 – 2019 Shareholder Outreach

The Company, led by management and, as and when requested or prudent, the Chair of the Committee, regularly attempts to engage its larger shareholders in outreach meetings, typically targeting holders, in the aggregate, of greater than 50% of the Company’s common stock. The intent of these meetings is to (i) discuss investor philosophies on compensation programs in order to consider their perspectives when designing the Company’s executive compensation program, (ii) review any recent changes made to the Company’s executive compensation program, and (iii) answer questions or address concerns raised with respect to the Company’s executive compensation program and any other aspect of the Company’s business or governance. Shareholder outreach conducted so far in 2019 has resulted in meaningful dialogue with investors, and has generated feedback that is both positive on the whole with respect to executive compensation practices and governance, and consistent with the 2018 results from the Company’ssay-on-pay shareholder vote.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Attract, Retain and Motivate the Company’s Key Leadership

The Company’s executive compensation program focuses on attracting, retaining and motivating high-performing, successful leaders while incenting both short- and long-term Company performance through a balanced mix of compensation vehicles. The elements comprising the total pay package are designed considering practices of competitors and benchmarking against the pay levels within the compensation peer group (as discussed below under the headings “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers”). The Committee strives to provide incentive programs that align management compensation with long-term shareholder value creation, with consideration of risk created while implementing the Company’s business strategies.

In addition, the Company selectively grants stock-based awards for critical retention purposes, upon an employee’s initial hire or promotion to an executive officer role or to reward performance.

Target Pay Mix for Executive Officers

The Company’s executive compensation philosophy balances short- and long-term elements of pay by focusing management on key financial measures. The Committee believes this mix of pay elements provides the greatest incentive for shareholder value creation through the formulation and execution of the Company’s business strategies, with due consideration of risk and the Company’s short- and long-term objectives. The following charts illustrate thepay-mix elements of total target annual direct compensation, excludingnon-recurring awards, for Ms. Stitzel, President and CEO, and other NEOs excluding Mr. Hemus, who retired December 31, 2018 and whose position is not expected to be filled.

Role of the Committee in Compensation Decisions

The Committee is responsible for establishing, overseeing and determining all compensation arrangements for executive officers of the Company, including each of the NEOs.NEOs and Section 16 officers. As discussed above under “Board Committees,” the Committee also works closely with its independent compensation consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, to determinedevelop the market-based compensation arrangements for the Company’s officers.

The CEO’s compensation of the CEO and EVC is determined by recommendation of the Committee in consultation with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and is subject to approval by the independent directors of the full Board. Recommendations for compensation of executive officers other than the CEO and EVC are made to the Committee by management, including discussion on individual performance by the CEO, in consultation with the Committee’s compensation consultant. The Committee, in consideration of itsthe Company’s objectives, reviews recommendations as well as incentive programs for all executive officers. Based on this review, the Committee approves thebase salary, annual incentive opportunities and equity awards, and recommends for ratification by the approval of the full Board (or independent directors of the full Board, with respect to the CEO’s compensation) cash-based elements for all executive officers, including the NEOs.

All compensation recommendationsdecisions are influenced by both market-based factors, such as compensation peer group compensation practices, andnon-market-based factors, such as company and individual performance, NEO leadership, scope of role, tenure and experience, and retention concerns.retention. The Committee reviews a total compensation summary that provides a complete picture of each executive’s current target and realizable compensation relative to the market data. The Committee typically makes compensation recommendations in November for the upcoming fiscal year.

Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking

When determiningBeginning in 2020, generally the Company benchmarked each executive officer’s compensation directly against the Company’s peer group, as one factor used to determine appropriate compensation arrangementslevels and pay mix for the Company’s executive officers, the Committee considers both a comparator peer group of similar companies and information from Mercer, LLC’s and Willis Towers Watson’s compensation surveys.officers. Because of the differences in size among the comparatorpeer group companies, regression analysis iswas used for estimating market compensation levels and then, in using the regressed data, the Company establishesestablished a composite market pay level for each executive role. The Committee includes multiple data sources to mitigate year-over-year fluctuations from any single source and promote greater consistency in the compensation planning process.

The Company’s compensation peer group consists of public companies that were selected by the Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, based on similarities in operational focus, industry, and complexity (as measured by revenue, percentage of revenue outside the United States and, to a lesser extent, equity market capitalization). The Committee reviews compensation peer group companies annually for continued appropriateness.

The 2020 compensation peer group includes companies that:

 

market product lines in household durables and nondurables, personal products (including beauty) and consumer goods (including plastic products);

 

operate usingdirect–to-consumer and network marketing distribution methods; or

 

market globally branded products in the consumer packaging categories of food and beverage category.beverage.

In preparingFor the 2020 compensation peer group, used to evaluate 2018 compensation decisions, the only change made by the Committee fromadded Energizer Holdings, Inc. and Helen of Troy Limited, because these companies are similar to the 2017 peer group was to remove Newell Brands Inc. due its increased size following its merger with Jarden Corporation.Company in terms of brand focus and revenue size. The 20182020 compensation peer group consisted of the following companies, categorized by industry:

During its annual review of the peer group in preparation for 20192021 compensation decision-making, the Committee added Coty, Inc., Ralph Lauren Corporation, Revlon, Inc. and Columbia Sportswear Company, all companies the Committee considered to be similar to the Company in terms of brand focus and engagement in digital transformation. In addition, the Committee removed Spectrum Brands Holdings,Avon Products, Inc. due to its merger with HRG Group Inc. and Silgan Holdings, Inc. andSnap-On Incorporated due to being further outside the Company’s industry as compared to the 2019 peer group additions.Natura & Co.

Pay Positioning for Executive Officers

When making compensation decisions, the Committee considers market-based data described above on base salary, target annual incentive opportunity and long-term equity incentive program opportunity for each of the Company’s executive officer positions separately, as well as the individual performance of each executive officer. In general, the Committee compares the NEOs’ compensation to the 50th percentile of the market-based data. For all pay elements other than base salary, actual compensation is contingent upon either the successful completion of performance goals or the Company’s stock price, and can fluctuate above or below the 50thpercentile of market. Gains from past incentives are not factored into the establishment of target compensation nor are other remuneration programs, such as for retirement.

Elements of Officer Direct Compensation

In line with the Company’s philosophy to attract and retain talented individuals to further the interests of the Company and its shareholders, executive officers are compensated through various compensation elements that include a balance of short-,mid- and long-term focus. Target compensation for executive officers generally includes base salary, an Annual Incentive Program target cash awardannual incentive awards and long-term equity awards.awards, and the weighting of an executive officer’s total compensation on long-term equity increases the more senior they are in the organization.

Base Salary

The Committee believes that annual base salary is the keystoneimportant to attracting and retaining talented employees by providing a fixed level of income. EachIn general, each of the Company’s executive officer roles is benchmarked to market as discussed above under “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers.” When determining base salary levels, the Committee considers benchmark pay, the salary increase target for the Company overall, the executive officer’s performance in the previous year, scope and complexity of role, internal equity amongst leaders of similar responsibility within the Company, experience and tenure related to their respective responsibilities, and total direct compensation (base salary plus short- and long-term incentive targets described below).

and, in the case of new appointments, the compensation received by the NEO’s predecessor at the Company and from the NEO’s prior employer.

For 2018,At the beginning of 2020, the Committee reviewed executive officer base salaries and considered individual performance and competitive market-based base salary information (as described above under “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers”) and, with respect to Ms. Stitzel and Mr. Goings in particular, the market data with respect to their management transitions. As a result of the review, the Committee increaseddid not adjust the base salaries for any of the then-serving NEOs. However, in connection with expanded roles and, based on the factors described above, the Committee approved base salary increases for Ms. Stitzel (prior to herHarris and Mr. Wright. In particular, in connection with Ms. Harris’ promotion to PresidentCFO & Chief Executive Officer) by 10% to $550,000COO, the Committee considered, among other things, the increased responsibilities of performing two executive officer functions and then by 55% to $850,000 effective with her promotion to President & Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Poteshman by 3.1% to $526,000comparison against peer data for such positions. In addition, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Messrs. Fernandez, Goudis, Cuesta and Ms. Gupta by 4.0% to $464,332 (illustrated in U.S. dollars). Effective with his appointment to Executive ChairmanWright accepted a salary reduction of 20% for the second quarter of 2020.

The following table sets forth the annualized 2020 and related reduction in involvement in day-to-day business activities, Mr. Goings’ base salary decreased 50% to $500,000. The2019 base salaries for Messrs. Hemuseach NEO and Garcia Rangel did notthe percentage change during 2018.

For 2019, the Committee reviewed executive officer base salaries and considered individual performance and competitive market-based base salary information (as described above under “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers”). No increase in base salary, was approved for Ms. Stitzel. Also, noif applicable.

Annual Incentive Program

Program Design

The Annual Incentive Program (the “AIP”) is a broad-based program emphasizingpay-for-performance by rewarding approximately 250key-management participants, including each of the continuing NEOs, for achievement of short-term (annual) financial results.goals. Under the AIP, payout targets, calculatedeach NEO is assigned a line-of-sight target opportunity, expressed as a percentage ofyear-end base salary, are basedsalary. Based on jobthe level of achieved performance, payouts under the AIP may range from 0%, for achievement below threshold goals, up to a maximum of 200% of target opportunity for achievement of 110% of goals. The 2020 AIP rewarded our NEOs for the achievement of growth in local currency sales and are benchmarkedachievement of significant cost reduction and liquidity goals to improve financial flexibility.

Target goal achievement results in a payout equal to 100% of target opportunity, with straight-line interpolation calculated for achievement between threshold (50%), target (100%) and maximum results (200%).

The Mission Critical Bonus Program, approved by the Committee in February, was an additional cash incentive program designed to reward successful implementation of strategic goals, including revenue growth, cost reductions, and improved profitability in excess of the AIP goals. Participation was highly selective, identifying associates who were key drivers of the execution of the endorsed deliverables, including Mses. Harris and Sheehan and Messrs. Wright and Hewett. The program was cancelled in May, when goals were incorporated into the revised AIP metrics discussed below under “AIP Goals and Results.”

2020 Individual Targets

In setting each NEO’s target opportunity, the Committee considered each NEO’s role and responsibility and market benchmark data as described above under “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers”Officers.” The following table sets forth the 2020 and 2019 AIP target opportunities, expressed as a percentage of year-end base salary, for each NEO.

Mr. O’Leary’s payout was prorated to reflect the number of weeks he served as Interim CEO from November 12, 2019 to April 5, 2020, based on his employment agreement, and calculated based on results during the 2020 performance period.

(3)

The Committee approved an increase in AIP target percentage for Ms. Harris in connection with her promotion to CFO & COO in October 2020. Ms. Harris was eligible for a target bonus equal to 75% of year-end base salary for the period from January 1, 2020 through October 11, 2020 (through the date of her promotion to COO), and 85% of year-end base salary for the remainder of the 2020 year to reflect the adjustment to her target opportunity at the time she assumed the additional role of COO.

(4)

The Committee approved an increase in AIP target percentage for Mr. Wright in connection with his expansion of responsibilities in April 2020.

2020 AIP Goals & Results

The Committee established initial 2020 AIP goals in early March 2020 based upon the operating performance trends that the Company was experiencing in late 2019. Under this program, payouts were to be determined based on income before taxes, local currency sales and cash flows, weighted 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively, and with payouts ranging from 0% to 200% of target. Due to the uncertain impact of COVID-19 and other matters on business operations related to the Company’s Turnaround Plan, the Committee revised the initially approved 2020 AIP performance measures and goals during the fiscal year as shown in the below table.

In November 2020, the Committee determined that 2020 sales results would be adjusted following the conclusion of the year for the estimated impact of COVID-19, as further described below.

(2)

In connection with the revisions to the 2020 AIP in May 2020, the Committee reduced the potential payout curve from 50%, 100% and 200% for threshold, target and maximum performance to 25%, 50% and 100% for threshold (sales only), target and maximum performance, respectively. As the year progressed and based on the Company’s execution against the Turnaround Plan, in November 2020, the Committee reverted to the original payout formula established in March 2020 and also approved threshold and maximum performance goals that were -5% to +10% of the performance targets, respectively.

Consistent with its past practice, the Committee approved the initial performance measures and goals in early March 2020, prior to the onset, global impact, and uncertainty, of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee believed at the time that the financial objectives were set with realistic performance targets given the Company’s operating trends in the second half of 2019. The Committee believed the initial AIP targets were rigorous yet achievable and aligned with the Company’s operating plan for 2020. The performance goals established in March for the Company-wide measures represented a 24.6% local currency increase in consolidated income before taxes and a 3.7% decrease in local currency sales from 2019 for target achievement and funding at 100%. In 2018,May 2020, given the early onset of, and outlook for an adverse impact from the pandemic, management updated, and the Committee approved revised performance goals for 2020.    

Entering into the second quarter of 2020, the Company encountered an unprecedented number of events in the Company’s history, including the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges with respect to the Company’s liquidity, going concern disclosure related to the Company’s June 2021 debt obligations under its senior notes, along with the commencement of a 3-year Turnaround Plan encompassing an almost entirely new leadership team, and the priority of the Company’s new leadership on overall turnaround efforts. In light of these unprecedented events, management and the Committee continued to reassess the overall structure, goals and metrics for the 2020 AIP, with a view towards balancing the change in focus of management on liquidity and implementing the Turnaround Plan, while also taking into account the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and good corporate governance practices.

In May 2020, the Committee approved a revised consolidated net sales target reflecting a decline of 13% vs. 2019, but the Committee limited the bonus funding to just 50% of the executives’ target bonus percentage as they believed it would not be aligned with shareholder’s interests to pay full bonuses for a double digit decline in net sales, although such net sales goal was useddeemed at the time to reward growth inbe a challenging goal requiring the cross-functional efforts of our executive officers. Additionally, given an increasing issue with liquidity, management recommended, and the Committee approved, cost reductions and liquidity metrics, replacing consolidated pretax or net income before taxes, or unit segment profitincome

before taxes where applicable, and conversioncash flow, to reward improvements in liquidity for the Company. As a result of profit into cash flow. In all cases, consolidated pretax or net income and/or segment profitthe confluence of the foregoing events, in May 2020 the Committee replaced the initially approved performance measures with the following performance measures and goals:

Cost reductions accounted for 30%. Beginning in 2019, of the Committee determined it was appropriate to includetotal annual award

Liquidity accounted for 20% of the total annual reward (5% target payout opportunity per quarter)

For NEOs who held globally focused positions, 2020 AIP performance measures were based entirely on Company-wide measures of local currency net sales, cost reductions and liquidity. For NEOs who were group presidents, 2020 AIP performance measures were based on the applicable group’s local currency sales, growth ascost reductions and liquidity results. The quarterly liquidity measure included a measureunique incentive, to create a sense of urgency, whereby the business unit would be eligible for a quarterly payout based on achievement underof corporate liquidity goals if that business unit achieved its quarterly unit target goal for sales and/or cost reductions. If a business unit achieved the program and used that measure to accountquarterly sales goal but not the quarterly cost reduction goal or vice versa, the business unit would only be eligible for 25%50% of the potential award underliquidity quarterly payout. If a business unit did not achieve either quarterly goal, no liquidity payout would be earned in the program with the income and cash flow measures accounting for 50% and 25% of the potential award, respectively. The sales measure includes a tripwire, whereby no award will be paid based on sales performance unless at least threshold performance is met under the program’s profit measure. applicable quarter.

The Committee believes that focusing management on thesethe above financial metrics further positions the Company for long-term success.success and was an appropriate and thoughtful response to the unknown impact that COVID-19 would have on business operations and the rapidly changing business conditions reflecting the Company’s new Turnaround Plan.

Payments under the AIP program can range from 0% for below threshold achievement to 200% for achievement of maximum goals. Target goal achievementIn November, based upon improvements in operating results in the second and third quarters, management recommended, and the Committee approved, a revised slope of bonus funding to reward dramatically improved performance in an extremely challenging environment. Under the revised payout opportunity, 50% funding was achieved at 95% of target, 100% payout factor, with straight-line interpolation calculated for achievement between threshold,funding was achieved by meeting target and maximum results.

2018 AIP awardsfunding could be maximized at 200% by exceeding the financial targets by more than 10% for the NEOs who hold globally-focused positions were measured entirely on Company-wide measures of income and cash flow, while the award for group presidents was measured in part on consolidated results and in part on the group’s segment profit and cash flow results. The Committee believes that this program design facilitates focus on overall Company and Group results,all metrics, with varying payouts if achievement is between two adjacent goals as applicable. Upon Ms. Gupta’s appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, her 2018 AIP payout was prorated to reflect the number of weeks as Group President for Asia Pacific and the number of weeks as Executive Vice President, in each case, with performance calculated based on performance during the entire year (as shown below under “2018 AIP Payout Calculation”).

2018 Individual Targets

Individual AIP target payouts, expressed as a percentage ofyear-end base salary for certain NEOs (80% for Mr. Hemus, 72% for Mr. Poteshman and 60% for Ms. Gupta and Mr. Garcia Rangel) did not change in 2018. Ms. Stitzel’s target was set at 80% for 2018 to align with median market data for the President and Chief Operating Officer position and then increased, based on market data, to 105% upon her promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2018. (In February 2019, Ms. Stitzel’s target increased to 115%). Mr. Goings’ target decreased from 115% to 100% upon his appointment to Executive Chairman in May 2018, in recognition of his reduced day-to-day involvement in business activities.

2018 AIP Goals & Resultsdiscussed further below.

The Company measures its AIP achievement at the same currency exchange rates at which the goals are set. The Committee believes that this approach most appropriately measures the success of management in executing the Company’s strategies, as opposed to measuring performance at actual exchange rates that can mask the impact of actions taken under management’s control, which can be expected to be reflected in the Company’s stock price over time. The Committee believes that employing this approach in the AIP appropriately balances total compensation received by executive officers, given that the value realized by management under equity-based long-term incentive awards is impacted by actual exchange rates through the performance of the Company’s stock price. Further, the Committee believes that incenting performance using actual exchange rates could create an environment leading to risk taking not in the best interests of the Company.

Sales and income focused AIP goals, established during the Committee’s February meeting, are set in consideration of a wide range of factors, including but not limited to compensation peer group performance, Company trends, analysts’ expectations, and the external environment. For 2018, “threshold” goals were set at levels consistent with past performance; “target” goals were set to require increases over past results, and “maximum” goals were stretch objectives, set to require outstanding performance for full payout. Each of the target and maximum performance goals are determined for, and measured on, an individual unit, area, group or global basis. Cash flow goals are also established during the Committee’s February meeting, and are set to require conversion of the profit goals into cash considering differences from profit that would be expected for specifically identified factors.

The 2018 AIP target and maximum goals for total Company pretax income required a 9% local currency increase and a 15% increase, respectively, as compared with 2017 results using constant foreign currency exchange rates. The goals excluded for both 2017 and 2018 the Company’s results in Venezuela, and included benefits from the Company’sre-engineering program announced in July 2017 that were worth 5.4 percentage points on the comparison. The 2018 AIP target and maximum goals for total Company cash flow represented, in constant currency, a 30.8% and 38.9% increase, respectively, as compared with the adjusted 2017 results. Given the inflationary environment and exchange controls in Venezuela, the Committee determined that measurement of global achievement should exclude results for that unit. The following table illustratestables illustrate each of the final measures used for NEO AIP awards in 2018,2020, indicating the previous year’s performance, the 20182020 threshold, target and maximum goals in absolute dollars, where applicable, and in growth over 2017 results, the actual 20182020 achievement and the measure’s payout factor. TheFor sales and cost reductions measures, the payout factor is calculated using straight-line interpolation of the actual result between the two adjacent goals. AIPAs discussed above, for liquidity, a business unit would be eligible for payout based on achievement of corporate liquidity goals were set and achievement was measured excluding certain items as outlined inif that business unit achieved its quarterly unit target goal for sales and/or cost reductions. If a business unit achieved the reconciliations on page 32:quarterly sales goal but not the quarterly cost reduction goal or vice versa, the business unit would only be eligible for 50% of the liquidity performance payout. If a business unit did not achieve either quarterly goal, no liquidity payout would be earned.

20182020 AIP Payout CalculationPayouts

The following table illustrates the formula and respective 20182020 AIP payout calculations for each of the Company’s NEOs. These amounts were calculated based on the achievement of the annual and quarterly goals discussed above. Award amounts indicated are included under theNon-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the 20182020 Summary Compensation Table below. Included in the amounts below are “true up” payments approved by the Committee in March 2021 for the first quarter through the third quarter based on page 39 below.the revised payout opportunity established in November 2020. In addition, in March 2021 and in accordance with the terms of the AIP modified in November 2020, the Committee approved a COVID-19 sales adjustment to the formulaic payout results to adjust for the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s sales. This adjustment did not impact the AIP payouts for NEOs who were subject to the Company-wide measures, and increased the AIP payout for Mr. Hewett, who was subject to the Asia Pacific Group, China, Australia & New Zealand measures, by 20.4%. Because Mr. O’Leary served as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a portion of 2020, he recused himself from all deliberations of the Compensation Committee involving his executive compensation (including his 2020 AIP).

AIP financial measurements exclude the costs, expenses or charges and related cash flow arising out of changes in accounting standards and unusual items such asre-engineering and exit costs; dispositions of property, plant and equipment outside of the normal course of business; pension settlements; income from significant insurance recoveries; amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and costs to modify the Company’s capital structure, if any. In addition, for 2018, as was the case since 2014, the Committee concluded that due to the unpredictability of the impact of the external situation in Venezuela, including the exchange rate to be used in translating bolivar results to U.S. dollars, that the impact of Venezuela would be excluded in setting the goals and measuring the annual incentive performance of the Company. This resulted in lower performance for incentive purposes than if Venezuela’s results had been included. As discussed above in greater detail, the goals and achievement under the AIP are measured at constant foreign currency exchange rates. Other than as it relates to the exclusion of Venezuela’s operational results, the adjustments to U.S. GAAP results set forth below for both pretax income and cash flow are generally for the same items for which the Company presented its results “excluding items” in its earnings release on January 30, 2019.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Programs

A primary objective of the Company’s compensation program is to align executive interests with long-term shareholder value creation. The Committee believes that emphasizing long-term compensation fosters this alignment. The Company provides such compensation opportunities to NEOs in the form of annual equity incentives with the objective of supporting development and execution of long-term operational and strategic plans. In addition, in certain circumstances, such as the critical retention or promotion of an employee to an executive officer role, the Committee may also grant special“off-cycle” awards of equity, including to NEOs.

Stock-Based Incentive Programs

Prior to 2018, theThe Committee approved target grant values in November, with the stock option award representing 45% of the target award value and granted at the time of Committee approval in November, and the remaining 55% of the target grant level granted in the form of performance share units in the following January and February, after the Committee approved performance goals. With the assistance of its executive compensation consultant, the Committee reviewed the elements, weighting and timing of the effectiveness of the Company’s stock-based incentive grants considering market practices, accounting expense, potential benefit to participants and the tax consequences of the various awards. Based on such review, the Committee adjusted the stock-based incentive program beginning in November 2018 and added restricted stock units to the mix ofannual stock-based incentive awards to NEOs and granted stock options and time-based restricted stock unit awards,selected key members of management, including each representing 25% of the target annual equity award value. The restricted stock units granted in November 2018 are eligible for enhanced retirement treatment(pro-rata vesting based on number of full months worked) upon a participant having attained a minimum of age 55 and provided 10 or more years of service, having given due notice as determined by the Committee (participants at the levels of Vice President and above require a minimum of at least 6 months’ notice) and the participant entering into a restrictive covenants agreement. At its February 2019 meeting, the Committee granted relative total shareholder return and earnings per share achievement performance share units, weighted 12.5% and 37.5% of total value of annual equity awards, respectively. Market research supported adding restricted stock unitsNEOs, to the grant mix, as time-based restricted stock units are designed to provide greater stability in awarded value and support the retentive objectivesfurther align their interests with those of the Company’s executive compensation program. In approving the revised stock-based incentive program, the Committee retained stock options to provide incentive and leverage particularly when working to achieve stock price recovery. By providing awards in the form of time-based restricted stock units, stock options and performance share units, the Committee believes that the balance of value and opportunity is in line with market practices.shareholders. The Committee considers these particular equity award typescompensation to be an effective way to incentivizeincent shareholder value creation over the long-term. In certain circumstances, such as the critical retention or promotion of an associate to an executive officer role, the Committee may also grant special “off-cycle” awards of equity, including to NEOs.

Based on the effective dateThe target value of the various awards, the 2018 Summary Compensation Table on page 39 includes as 2018 compensation the grant date fair value of performance share units awarded in 2018 that were approved in November 2017, and the grant date fair value of restricted stock units and stock options that were awarded in November 2018, with the annual award. Beginning in February 2020 the Committee intends to start making all annual equity award grants on the date of (or closely following) its February meetings, as the prior grant practice of awarding a portion of the total award in November and the remaining portions in January and February resulted in the equity grants being reported in different years for SEC disclosure purposes, as noted above. This shift in timing will mean there will be no annual grants in November 2019.

The sizing of the annual equity awards iswas determined by the Committee for each of the then-serving NEOs in consideration of thebased on benchmark data and competitive practices, described above under “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers”. At its November 2018 meeting, the Committee approved annual long-term incentive awards for each of the NEOS after careful consideration of their respective benchmark data, as described above under “Peer Group and Compensation Benchmarking” and “Pay Positioning for Executive Officers,” individual performance during the fiscal year and their tenure and experience within each officer’s respective roles. The Committee approved awards for Messrs. Goings, Poteshman and Garcia Rangel, and Mses. Stitzel and Gupta, in the total values of $2,000,000, $825,000, $500,000, $2,500,000 and $500,000, respectively, as allocated according to the described mix of annual awards.

Due to the 2020 management transition, Messrs. Goudis and Cuesta did not participate in the Company’s 2020 PSP awards.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock unit awards represent a right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified vesting period. The Committee believes that the use of restricted stock units supports its compensation philosophy as they are considered a valuable tool in the attraction and retention of critical talent. During 2018, restricted stock unit awards were made to each of the NEOs in the November annual grant cycle, as described above under the heading “Stock-Based Incentive Programs.” In connection with her promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer on May 9, 2018, Ms. Stitzel received promotional restricted stock unit grants with an aggregate grant date fair value of $500,000, which will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. In connection with his promotion to executive officer status on January 1, 2018, Mr. Garcia Rangel received a promotional restricted stock unit grant with a grant date fair value of $200,000, which will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Stock Options

The Company’s executive officers and selected other members of management are eligible to receive stock options. Except in the case of premium priced options, stock options are granted with an exercise price that is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As a result, stock options require an increase in price in the underlying common stock for the award to have value. The Company’s annual stock option grants, including those made to the NEOs, vest in three equal annual installments and include aten-year life before expiring, if unexercised.

During 2018, stock option awards were made to each of the NEOs in the November annual grant cycle with an exercise price equal to the grant date closing market price, as described above under the heading “Stock-Based Incentive Programs.” As the Committee determines to be necessary or desirable, options may be granted as part of a critical retention, promotion or new hire award. In connection with her promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer on May 9, 2018, Ms. Stitzel received a premium-priced stock option grant with a grant date fair value of $500,000, and an exercise price set 10% above the grant date closing price, to further align Ms. Stitzel’s interests with stockholders. This award will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.Interim CEO employment agreement.

Performance Share Program

The Company’s executive officers and selected other management employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s PSP, a three-year stock-based performance program with annual overlapping award cycles. PSP awards represent performance share units, which result in the delivery of shares of Company common stock to participants on the achievement of key Company performance measures. Cumulative three-year goals are established, defining each measure’s achievement at a threshold, target and maximum performance level. Awards are expressed as a number of shares to be delivered for target level performance, based on achievement of these metrics. In addition, participants are eligible to receive dividends on performance share units if and when performance has ultimately been achieved and shares are earned. No shares, including related dividends, vest if achievement is less than threshold, while 150% of the

target shares and the related dividends vest if achievement is equal to or above the maximum goal. It is currently the intent of the Company to not pay dividends on the shares of Company common stock. The actual number of shares that vest is calculated using straight-line interpolation of results between threshold, target and maximum goals.

2020-2022 PSP Grants

All then-serving executive officers, including each of the then-serving NEOs, were granted awards in February 2020 under the 2018-2020 PSP, according to the above description under the heading “Stock-Based Incentive Programs”—“Previous Annual Stock Award Chart”.2020-2022 PSP. For the 2018-20202020-2022 PSP, performance will be measured based on achievement against EPS and relative total shareholder return (rTSR) performance goals, pertaining to 75% and 25% of the target performance share units, respectively. The Committee chose EPS and rTSR because these goals, along with the goals used under the AIP, were viewed as striking an appropriate balance with respect to incentivizing top-line growth, profitability, liquidity and stockholder returns over both the short-term and long-term horizons. The threshold, target and maximum goals under the 2018-20202020-2022 PSP for EPS were established by the Committee during the first quarter of 2018.2020. Because these targets were set in the first quarter of 2020, these targets were set prior to the time when the Company could have known the impact of the impending COVID-19 pandemic. The 2018-20202020-2022 EPS target goals were deemed to be reasonably achievable with strong management performance. rTSR for the 2018-20202020-2022 PSP will be measured as achievement versus a group of companies comprised of the S&P 400 MidCap Consumer Discretionary company index plus the companies identified as the 20182020 Compensation Peer Group that remain in the peer group at the end of the performance period. For Company performance at the 35th35th percentile, threshold shares (50% of target share units) will be earned, at the 50th50th percentile 100% of target share units will be earned, and at the 75th75th percentile or greater, maximum shares (150% of target share units) will be earned.

2018-2020 PSP Grant Payout

Consistent with the 2018-20202020-2022 PSP design, performance under the 2016-20182018-2020 PSP was measured by achievement against EPS and rTSR performance goals, pertaining to 75% and 25% of the target units, respectively. The threshold, target and maximum goals under the 2016-20182018-2020 PSP for EPS were established by the Committee during the first quarter of 2016,2018, based on the Company’s AIP target net income goal plus amounts 7%9% higher for each of 2017in 2019 and 2018,6% higher in 2020, after adjusting for expected share repurchases. In determining the EPS goals, the Committee assumed a number of diluted shares, which included assumptions for share repurchases during the performance period. To the extent actual diluted shares during the performance period vary from the number of diluted shares used in setting the EPS goals, the 2018-2020 PSP design limits the impact of the share variation to +/- 10 percentage points on the achievement percentage under the program. rTSR was measured as described above for the 2018-20202020-2022 PSP design, based on achievement versus the S&P 400 MidCap Consumer Discretionary company index plus the companies identified as the 20162018 Compensation Peer Group, using the companies in the group both at the beginning and at the end of the performance period.

The following table illustrates the 2016-20182018-2020 PSP program’s EPS threshold, target and maximum goals, and the actual Company results as certified by the Committee at its meeting in February 2019.March 2021.

In addition to achievement under the EPS goals, the Committee determined that the Company had performed at the 9th percentile of the described peer group, which resulted in none of the performance share units associated with the rTSR performance goal being earned by participating NEOs.

New Hire and Retention Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock unit awards represent a right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified vesting period based on continued service. The Committee believes that the use of restricted stock units is a valuable tool to attract and retain critical talent. In connection with his commencement of employment in April 2020, the Committee approved the grant of restricted stock units to Mr. Cuesta. The restricted stock unit award had a grant date fair value of $400,002, which will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to his continued service. The Committee determined the size of this new hire award after considering market data and the input of the Committee’s independent compensation consultant. In addition, in May 2020, the Committee approved special, one-time retention performance stock unit awards for Mses. Harris and Sheehan with an aggregate grant date fair value of $500,000 and $180,001, respectively, which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, conditioned upon the Company common stock achieving a market price above $3 per share for thirty consecutive trading days during the vesting period and the executive’s continued service. At the time of grant, the closing market price of a share of Company common stock was $2.73. The market price vesting trigger was achieved during 2020 and these awards remain subject to the service-based vesting requirements. In June 2020, the Committee also approved a special, one-time retention restricted stock unit award for Mr. Wright with an aggregate grant date fair value of $190,001, which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. These 2020 retention awards were made in recognition of the critical role these executive officers serve at the Company and as an additional retentive device.

Management Transition Compensation Arrangements

As noted above, during 2020, the Company experienced several changes in key management positions. Compensation decisions made in connection with such management transitions were determined based on market data, input from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, compensation received at prior employers or predecessors within the Company in the case of new hires and the negotiations of the parties.

Retirement and Savings Plans

Retirement plans for NEOs based in the United States include a qualified base retirement (defined benefit) plan that was frozen in 2005, a qualified retirement savings (401(k)) plan and a supplemental retirement plan (defined benefit portion frozen in 2005). Pursuant to the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, certain executives, including NEOs based in the United States, may defer compensation. In addition, Mr. Hemus participated in a SelectThe Executive Deferred Compensation Plan described on page 46 below, that was created by the Company in June 2008 in orderfrozen with respect to provide a continued deferred compensation opportunity tofuture deferrals, effective January 1, 2021. Mr. Hemus as a result of the termination of a similar arrangement with his former employer, Sara Lee Corporation, a division of which was acquired by the Company in 2005. Ms. GuptaHewett also participatesparticipated in the Global Benefits Plan, described on page 4650 below, that provides retirement benefits for designated employees thatwho cannot fully participate in other benefit plans due to the nature of their career assignments or job status.

The Executive Chairman participates in a supplemental executive retirement program (“SERP”), which was implemented in 2003. An important retention element of the Executive Chairman’s total compensation in years past, the SERP program reached its maximum service limit when Mr. Goings surpassed 20 years of service during 2012. The SERP was designed and is intended to provide a total retirement value for the Executive Chairman, and he will not receive duplicative retirement payments. The Board amended the terms of the SERP, effective February 21, 2018, to allow for continued deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This amendment effectively “froze” the SERP as of December 31, 2017 and, as a result, Mr. Goings’ payments pursuant to the SERP will only take into account compensation earned, and periods of employment which occurred, on or prior to such date. In 2018 the present value of the SERP benefit was reduced by age and service according to the program’s design. The net result of 2018 changes to the present value of the program was a decrease in the present value of Mr. Goings’ benefit by $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the present value of the CEO’s accumulated net benefit under the SERP was $7,168,568, after reducing the gross benefit by $10,369,716 in offsets from other Company retirement plans, and is calculated as if the Executive Chairman had retired on the December 31, 2018 valuation date using a 4.36 percent effective long-term lump sum conversion interest rate. The Executive Chairman is the only participant in the SERP, and the Company does not intend to add additional participants in the future.

These plans are discussed in detail in the “Pension Benefits” and “2018“2020 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” sections below.

The Executive Severance Plan is applicable to all officers, as defined under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Exchange Act rules, all executive vice presidents, and all senior vice presidents (the “Eligible Officers”). The Executive Severance Plan reflects the Committee’s desired changes in severance pay practices for executive officers and other executives, including by:

Synthesizing severance pay practices (instead of an ad hoc approach to severance on a case-by-case basis); and

Harmonizing the Company’s severance pay practices with market practice by (1) limiting cash severance to 2x base salary for the CEO (versus both the CEO and the Executive Vice Chairman under the Company’s prior practices) and (2) limiting cash to 1x base salary for all executives other than the CEO (versus 1x-2x base salary for all other executives, determined on a case-by-case basis, under the Company’s prior practices).

The following are the key terms of the Executive Severance Plan:

Eligibility: In order to be eligible to receive severance payments pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan, the Eligible Officer must have been terminated without cause.

Level of Cash Severance: For the Chief Executive Officer, 2x base salary, and for all other Eligible Officers, 1x base salary, paid in the form of salary continuance (and not in a lump sum).

Pro-Rated Bonus: Eligible to receive a pro-rated annual bonus for any completed or partial bonus plan year worked up to date of termination, based on the actual achievement of performance metrics, with the bonus to be paid at the normal payment date or dates.

Waiver and Release: Amounts payable under the Executive Severance Plan are subject to the Eligible Officer’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates.

The required ownership multiple for the President & Chief Executive Officer and the Executive ChairmanCEO is six times her/his annual salary, and the multiple for the other NEOs is two or three times annual salary. If an NEO does not hold shares with a value at least equal to their required multiple of salary, at least 50% of theafter-tax value of future received shares, net of the amount of any strike price, is required to be held until the requisite ownership level requirement is satisfied. The

intention of the holding requirement is to provide a process for officers to reach their holding requirement when newly hired, newly promoted, or when fluctuations in the stock price or salary cause the value of their holdings to go below the required level, not due to an action he or she has taken. Provided an officer is complying with such holding requirement, he or she will not be considered to be out of compliance even if not at their full ownership level.

Shares held for the purpose of measuring ownership include those that would be awarded under runningexisting performance share programs if forecast performance is achieved, as well as shares associated with unvested RSUs. As of December 29, 2018,26, 2020, all continuing NEOs were in compliance with the Company’s stock ownership requirements.

The following table illustrates the equity program shares used to measure stock ownership requirements:

NEOs (and other employees who routinely become aware of materialAnti-Hedging and Pledging Policies

non-public information) may not hedge the economic risks involved in the ownership of Company stock through the use of derivative instruments. The Company’s stock trading policy prohibits executive officers from entering into hedging transactions that are intended to offset, in whole or in part, the economic risks associated with the ownership of Company stock. Types of hedging transactions prohibited under the Company’s stock trading policy, include, but are not limited to, selling short in Company securities and trading in exchange-based derivativesexchange traded derivative instruments, such as puts, calls, spreads, straddles, etc. related to the Company’s securities. The Company’s stock trading policy also prohibits executive officers from holding Company securities including any publicly-traded debtin a margin account or pledging Company securities and it prohibits short selling and pledging of Company stock.as collateral for a loan without seeking pre-clearance from the Chief Legal Officer.

Recapture of Awards and Payments

The Company has a “clawback” policy that permits the Company to recover previous cash payments, deferrals of cash payments, or deliveries of common stock of the Company that were made pursuant to any incentive compensation award, including any discretionary award, in the event it is determined that the Company’s previously reported financial results have been misstated due to the error, omission, fraud or other misconduct of an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including a misstatement that leads to a restatement of previously issued financial statements. Whether the misstatement is significant enough to trigger a recovery is in the sole discretion of the Committee, using good faith. The Company may recover all or any portion of any award made to any participant with respect to a fiscal year of the Company when employee actions resulted in misstated financial information that formed the basis for the award. The maximum amount subject to recovery from a participant shall be the amount by which the affected award exceeded the amount that would have been payable had the financial information been initially prepared as adjusted to correct for the employee actions, or any lesser amount that the Committee may determine; provided, however, that in the case of a discretionary award, the Committee may make such determination as to the amount of any repayment it deems to have been based upon financial results that would have been adjusted to correct such employee actions, up to the total amount of the discretionary award. All “clawback” recoveries shall be in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements as may be promulgated from time to time. In 2018,2020, no such triggering event or recovery occurred with respect to any of the NEOs.

Includes amounts held in the Retirement Savings Plan that were deferred pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code, and amounts deferred under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as well as Code Section 125 contributions to the Flexible Benefits Plan.

 

(2)

Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards made during the fiscal year computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718”). The awards included in this column for 20182020 include: (a) PSP shares subject to performance conditions, which are reported based on probable achievement of the underlying performance conditions at the time of grant, (b) restrictedperformance stock units granted to Mr. Fernandez in November 2018April 2020 as part of a one-time Inducement award with a grant date fair value of $174,000, which will cliff vest on the annual equitythird anniversary of the grant date, conditioned upon the Company common stock achieving a market price above $4.00 per share for thirty consecutive trading days during the vesting period and the executive’s continued service, (c) performance stock units granted to NEOs, (c)Mses. Harris and Sheehan in May 2020 as part of a one-time retention award with a grant date fair value of $500,000 and $180,001, respectively, which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, conditioned upon the Company common stock achieving a market price above $3 per share for thirty consecutive trading days during the vesting period and the executive’s continued service, (d) performance stock units granted to Mr. Goudis in March 2020 as part of a one-time Inducement award with a grant date fair value of $1,118,400, which will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, conditioned upon the Company common stock achieving specified stock price hurdles described under “Management Transition Compensation Arrangements” of the CD&A, (e) restricted stock units granted to Ms. StitzelMr. Cuesta upon her electionhis appointment to President, and Chief Executive Officer,Commercial, which had a grant date fair value of $500,067,$400,002, and (d)(f) restricted stock units granted to Mr. Garcia Rangel upon his electionWright as an executive officer, which hadpart of a one-time retention award with a grant date fair value of $200,040.$190,001. Mr. O’Leary did not receive equity awards in 2020 during his service as Interim CEO. Assuming that the highest level of performance conditions were to be achieved, for fiscal year 2018,2020, the grant date fair value for each NEO’s PSP award would be as follows: Mr. Goings, $4,125,116;Fernandez: $1,350,001; Ms. Harris: $540,012; Ms. Sheehan: $450,008; Mr. Hemus, $1,320,054; Ms. Stitzel, $742,628; Mr. Poteshman, $680,663; Ms. Gupta, $412,643;Wright: $270,012; and Mr. Garcia Rangel, $330,080.Hewett: $360,016. Messrs. Goudis and Cuesta were hired after the 2020-2022 PSP award grant date and, accordingly, did not receive grants under the 2020-2022 PSP. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the stock price vesting condition for the performance stock units granted to Mr. Fernandez, Ms. Harris, Mr. Goudis and Ms. Sheehan is considered a market condition and not a performance condition. Accordingly, there is no grant date fair value below or in excess of the amount reflected in the table above for the stock price performance stock units that could be calculated and disclosed based on achievement of the underlying market condition. The assumptions used in the valuations may be found in Note 142 of the Company’s 20182020 Annual Report on Form10-K.

 

(3)

Amounts representMr. Goudis received an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock, with a per share exercise price equal to 115% of the closing stock price of Company common stock on March 12, 2020 and a 10-year term, that will vest March 12, 2023 subject to continued service (including service as a member of the Board) through the vesting date, with the aggregate grant date fair value of option awards made during the fiscal year computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The grant date fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation applied to the number of shares granted under an option. The assumptionsassumption used in the Black-Scholes valuationsvaluation and the resulting values per share may be found in Note 142 of the Company’s 20182020 Annual Report on Form10-K.

 

(4)

For 2018,2020, the amounts reported in thisthe column represent actual payouts under the Company’s AIP relating to 20182020 performance. With the exception of Messrs. O’Leary and Hewett, quarterly liquidity payouts were made in August 2020 for quarters one and two and November 2020 for quarter three. Quarter four liquidity payouts, true-up payments for quarters one through three to reflect the revised 2020 payout opportunity,

as discussed in the “Annual Incentive Program” section of the CD&A, and annual sales and cost reductions measure payouts were made in March 2021. Mr. O’Leary’s quarter one payout was made in August 2020, and quarter two, true-up, and annual sales and cost reductions measure payouts were made in March 2021. Mr. Hewett’s quarters one and two liquidity, true-up, and annual sales and cost reductions measure payouts were made in March 2021.

 

(5)

Amounts represent the actuarial change in the present value of the NEO’s benefit under the Company’s pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in determining the amounts in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s U.S. plan was frozen in 2005. Mr. Hemus wasMessrs. Fernandez, O’Leary, Goudis and Cuesta and Mses. Harris and Sheehan were hired after the plan freeze date and therefore are not eligible to participate in the Company’s pension plans. Ms. Gupta isMr. Hewett was not a participant in the U.S. plans; instead, she ishe was a participant in the Global Benefits Plan. Mr. Garcia Rangel transferred to the U.S. after the plan freeze date and therefore not eligible to participate in the Company’s pension plans.

The increases reported above for Mr. Goings, as applicable, are a result of the actuarial increases related to late retirement and assumption changes (lower effective long-term conversion rate and updated mortality tables) while the decrease to the SERP was a result of changes in actuarial assumptions, and Company contributions and earnings in the defined contribution and frozen defined benefit programs. The SERP also decreased due to late retirement. The present value of accumulated pension benefits for Ms. Stitzel and Mr. Poteshman decreased due to assumption changes (higherpre-retirement discount rate and effective long-term lump sum conversion interest rate and updated mortality tables) and the underlying increase in their present value of benefit that occurs related to age (i.e., being one year closer to retirement). References to “n/a” mean not applicable.

Tupperware Brands Corporation Base Retirement Plan9187,7630
 Tupperware Brands Corporation Supplemental Plan (DB portion)9    1,6020

 

(1)

Mr. Goings is currently eligible for retirement. Mr. Hemus wasMessrs. Fernandez, O’Leary, Goudis and Cuesta and Mses. Harris and Sheehan were hired after the plan freeze date and Mr. Garcia Rangel transferred into the U.S. after the plan freeze date therefore neither is eligible to participate in these plans, and Ms. Gupta doesHewett did not participate in a pension program.

 

(2) 

Under the Tupperware Brands Corporation Base Retirement Plan and the Tupperware Brands Corporation Supplemental Plan (DB portion), the number of years of credited service is less than actual years of service because the plans were frozen in 2005. Similarly, Mr. Goings reached the maximum service allowable under the design of his SERP during 2012.

 

(3)

The assumptions used to determine the present values of accumulated benefits are consistent with those used in the Company’s financial statements. See Note 1319 in the Company’s 20182020 Annual Report on Form10-K. Since the Executive Chairman is over the normal retirement age under the plan of 65, thepre-retirement discount rate does not apply to his benefits.

Base Retirement Plan

The Company’s Base Retirement Plan (“BRP”) is a defined benefit plan with an annual normal retirement (age 65) benefit defined as 1 percent of qualified earnings (base salary plus incentive bonus) plus prior plan participation benefits. The BRP was frozen as of June 30, 2005, and does not provide any benefit accruals after that date. Early retirement eligibility is defined as achieving at least age 55 with 10 or more years of service upon separation from the Company. There is an early retirement reduction factor for an active employee entering retirement that is 0.2 percent per month from age 62 to 65 and 0.4 percent per month prior to age 62. Upon retirement, participants

may elect to receive the benefit in the form of a (1) single sum payment; (2) single life annuity; (3) ten year certain and continuous option; or (4) joint and survivor annuity option with the survivor level at 50 percent, 66 2/3 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent. Participants may receive a lump sum payment if they leave the Companypre-retirement. As of December 31, 2020, Mr. Wright was eligible for early retirement benefits.

Supplemental Plan (Defined Benefit Portion)

The defined benefit portion of the Tupperware Brands Corporation Supplemental Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) accounts for benefits that would have been earned under the BRP were it not for limits imposed under Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code. Accruals under the defined benefit portion of the Supplemental Plan were also frozen as of June 30, 2005. Payout from this account may be by installments or in a lump sum, as elected in the enrollment materials completed by the participant. A lump sum payout may be taken if a participant leaves the Companypre-retirement.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Executive Chairman also participates in a SERP, which, based on his greater than 20 years of service, provides for a benefit of 60 percent of final average SERP pay. Final average SERP pay means the average of the three highest annual cash compensation amounts, taking into account salary plusnon-equity incentive plan compensation, during the last five years of service. The described benefit under this SERP was implemented under the condition that the Executive Chairman would not receive duplicative retirement payments. The ultimate SERP benefit will be reduced by benefits under the BRP and the Supplemental Plan (defined benefit portion) and the lump sum actuarial value of Company contributions and the investment returns on those contributions under the Retirement Savings Plan and the Supplemental Plan (defined contribution portion) and will be paid out upon the Executive Chairman’s retirement, in a lump sum. As of December 31, 2018, the present value of the Executive Chairman’s accumulated net benefit under the SERP was $7,168,568, after reducing the gross benefit by $10,369,716 in offsets from other Company retirement plans, and is calculated as if the Executive Chairman had retired on the December 29, 2018 valuation date using a 4.36 percent effective long-term lump sum conversion interest rate. The Board amended the terms of the SERP, effective February 21, 2018, to ensure continued deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This amendment effectively “froze” the final average SERP pay as of December 31, 2017 and, as a result, Mr. Goings’ payments pursuant to the SERP will take into account only compensation earned, and periods of employment which occurred, on or prior to such date. The Company has not implemented a SERP for any other executive and it does not intend to add additional participants in the future.

In the case of retirement or termination, an executive will be paid no earlier than six months following the executive’s retirement or termination date.

Supplemental Plan (Defined Contribution Plan Portion)

The defined contribution portion of the Company’s Supplemental Plan serves as a spill-over plan for participants with compensation that results in deferrals that exceed the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. The participant may not continue to defer his or her own earnings, but receives credit for all employer contributions. The defined contribution portion of the Supplemental Plan also provides anage-graded allocation (2 to 12 percent of earnings in excess of $120,000;$125,000; subject toage-graded maximums) to a closed group of employees who as of June 30, 2005 were in a position of Director level or above (excluding the Executive Chairman) whose annual rate of base pay on June 30, 2005 exceeded $120,000,$125,000, and who are actively employed as of each fiscal year end. The interest credited to participants’ accounts in 20182020 equals the 3.09%1.5098% average 20182020 rate of return on30-year U.S. treasury bonds.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION ORCHANGE-IN-CONTROL

Severance Payments

On November 11, 2020, the Company adopted the Executive Severance Plan. The Executive Severance Plan is applicable to all officers, as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act rules, all executive vice presidents, and all senior vice presidents (the “Eligible Officers”). The following are the key terms of the Executive Severance Plan:

Eligibility: In order to be eligible to receive severance payments pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan, the Eligible Officer must have been terminated without cause.

Level of Cash Severance: For the Chief Executive Officer, 2x base salary, and for all other Eligible Officers, 1x base salary, paid in the form of salary continuance (and not in a lump sum).

Pro-Rated Bonus: Eligible to receive a pro-rated annual bonus for any completed or partial bonus plan year worked up to date of termination, based on the actual achievement of performance metrics, with the bonus to be paid at the normal payment date or dates.

Waiver and Release: Amounts payable under the Executive Severance Plan are subject to the Eligible Officer’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates.

Change-in-Control Payments

Each NEO, with the exception of Mr. O’Leary, is (or was prior to retirement)separation from employment) a party to achange-in-control agreement with the Company under which, in certain circumstances, payments, including perquisites and health and welfare benefits, would be paid by the Company in the event of achange-in-control and a termination of the NEO’s employment within atwo-year period after thechange-in-control. A termination would only trigger payments if made by the Company other than for “cause” or “disability,” or by the executive upon “good cause,” which would involve a

substantial diminution of job duties, a material reduction in compensation or benefits, a change in reporting relationship, a relocation, or increased business travel, a failure of a successor company to assume the agreement or a breach of the agreement by the Company or a successor company.

Achange-in-control is generally defined to mean an acquisition by one investor of over 35 percent of the Company’s capital stock, the replacement of a majority of the Company’s incumbent directors, shareholder approval of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. In May 2017, the Company increased the shareholder ownership threshold triggering a“change-in-control” in futurechange-in-control agreements and under the 2016 Incentive Plan from 20% to 35%. Mses. Gupta and Stitzel’s thresholds in their agreements remain at 20%, andThe agreement for Mr. Garcia Rangel’s threshold is 35%. The agreements for Messrs. Goings, Hemus and PoteshmanHewitt terminated on May 9, 2018, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively,April 2, 2020 based on their retirements as CEO, COO and CFO (even though Mr. Goings remained as Executive Chairman thereafter).his separation from the Company.

The payments to aan NEO under thesechange-in-control employment agreements would be made in a lump sum and would include apro-rata amount of any outstanding AIP or long-term cash incentive program at target level, other than any Gainsharing Program, as those do not generate achange-in-control payment, as well as an amount equal to a multiple of the sum of the NEO’s annual base salary plus AIP at target levelAIP for the year of termination. (This multiple is three timesIn 2020, the Company adopted a new form of change-in-control agreement effective for Mses. Guptaall executive officers, other than the CEO and Stitzel and Mr. Garcia Rangel, and was three times for Messrs. Goings, Hemus and Poteshman prior to their retirements). The NEOs would also receiveExecutive Vice Chairman, as of May 20, 2020, which, among other administrative changes, modified the health and welfare benefitscontinuation from 36-months to 24-months, and eliminated the 12-months of executive perquisite continuation for a three-year period; car allowance, financial planning,those executive physical, and club membership, if applicable, for aone-year period; and aone-time payment for outplacement services of up to $50,000.officers who were not previously grandfathered.

Thechange-in-control agreements also include (except as noted below) a modifiedgross-up provision, pursuant to which the Company will“gross-up” a NEO for the amount of any excise tax (and the amount of any income tax that is owed on suchgross-up payment) that becomes due under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code as a result of payments under thechange-in-control agreements. The agreements provide that a NEO will be entitled to such agross-up if the total amount of the payments owed under thechange-in-control agreement is equal to at least 120% of the highest amount that the executive would be entitled to receive without becoming subject to the excise tax. If, however, the amount that the executive would receive under thechange-in-control agreement is less than 120% of the highest amount that the executive would be entitled to receive under thechange-in-control agreement without becoming subject to the excise tax, the amount that would be paid to the NEO under thechange-in-control agreement would be reduced to the amount at which no excise tax would apply. The Company has adopted a policy that, subsequent to January 1, 2009, any newchange-in-control agreement, or achange-in-control agreement that is substantially amended, shall not include any taxgross-up provisions. Consequently, the agreements for Mr. Garcia Rangel and Mses. Stitzel and Gupta do not provide forgross-up of taxes.

Under the terms of the Company’s shareholder-approved incentive plan, if there were achange-in-control and the executive’s employment were terminated, there would be the following payments or benefits in addition to those in thechange-in-control agreements: (i) long-term performance-based equity incentive plans would be deemed earned and paid in a lump sum on apro-rata basis at target level for the period of such plan to and including the date of thechange-in-control (without any duplication for any payment under thechange-in-control employment agreements described above); (ii) long-term special performance-based equity awards (with a market condition) would be immediately and fully vested, subject to satisfaction of applicable stock price hurdles prior to participant’s termination; (iii) all outstanding stock options would be immediately vested and exercisable; and (iii)(iv) restrictions upon all outstanding restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards would be eliminated and such shares would be distributed to the NEOs. The amounts of the benefits that the NEOs would receive as described above under thechange-in-control employment agreements were established using competitive information about the market at the time the agreements were established.

Severance Agreement withManagement Transitions

As of April 5, 2020, Mr. O’Leary resigned as Interim CEO. For 2020, Mr. O’Leary earned a quarterly liquidity payment for the first and second quarters of 2020, and a pro-rated annual target bonus for the number of weeks of his service period from his November 2019 start date to his resignation as CEO effective as of April 5, 2020 ($923,770).

In connection with his retirementdeparture, Mr. Hewett entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which he is entitled to the following benefits: (i) a payment equal to four weeks of pay in lieu of service a four week notice period ($36,759); (ii) a payment equal to forty-eight weeks of pay ($404,346); (iii) a payment equal to eleven months of car allowance ($16,645);(iv) the opportunity to earn a bonus under the 2020 Annual Incentive Plan ($120,989); (v) twelve months of executive outplacement services ($8,500); (vi) reimbursement for up to $5,500 of financial planning services for the tax year 2020; (vii) reimbursement for any lease breakage expenses, capped at two months of lease payments; (viii) certain stock option vesting and exercisability rights in accordance with the terms (with respect to a total of 28,399 shares, but with no estimated value as CEO, Mr. Goings’of December 31, 2020 as the per share closing price as of December 31, 2020 exceed the exercise price per share); (ix) repatriation back to South Africa ($57,000); (x) payment of medical insurance premiums for 12 months ($35,170); and (xi) tax preparation support for 2020 (estimated cost of $1,500). The Separation Agreement contains provisions concerning change-in-controlnon-competition, confidentiality and severance agreements terminated, effective May 9, 2018. Ms. Stitzel, who becamecovenants not to solicit or disparage, and to cooperate with the CEO on May 9, 2018, does not have a severance agreement.Company.

Other Termination Provisions

The Company’s incentive plans also provide for payments to NEOs in the event of termination under certain circumstances not related tochange-in-control, such as death, disability, retirement, and job elimination.

The following table quantifies the potential contractual and/or plan termination andchange-in-control payment amounts assuming hypothetical triggering events had occurred as of December 29, 2018.26, 2020 for each NEO other than Mr. O’Leary and Mr. Hewett. The price per share of the Company’s stock as of the fiscalyear-end used in calculating the value of outstanding stock was $31.18.$35.37.

20182020 CEO TO MEDIAN EMPLOYEE PAY RATIO

The Company’s 20182020 CEO to median employee pay ratio is estimated to be 198:159:1, downup from 357:124:1 for 2017. For 2018, the Company maintained the median employee as was disclosed for 2017.2019. The Company identified its median employee for 20172020 by collecting the full employee population’s 20172020 salary, wages, bonus and incentive payroll data as of December 1, 2017,November 4, 2020, as compiled from the Company’s payroll records.

Because Mr. Fernandez was serving as CEO on the median employee identification date, the Company calculated the CEO pay ratio using Mr. Fernandez’s compensation. The CEO compensation used to calculate the CEO to Median Employee Pay Ratiopay ratio reflects the annualized pay package for Ms. StitzelMr. Fernandez consisting of $850,000$900,000 base salary, $2,500,000 in annual fair market value performance share, restricted stock units and stock option grantsannualized AIP and other annualized benefit values related to perquisites and retirement benefits outlined in this proxy, plus $1,000,000 fair market valueproxy. Because Mr. Fernandez’s equity awards were not pro-rated to reflect his mid-year start date, we did not annualize such equity awards for purposes of restricted stock and premium priced stock options related to Ms. Stitzel’s election as President and Chief Executive Officer granted in May 2018.this calculation.

The following table reflects the CEO and median employee summary compensation table amounts used to calculate the ratio:

The Company believes this ratio is appropriate for the Company, as it reflects the Company’s global reach with lower cost of employment related to international manufacturing facilities. As a global organization, approximately 96%95% of the Company’s employees are outside the United States and approximately 82% of the entire workforce is in emerging economy countries.States. In addition, the analysis method used by the Company includes sales employees employed by the Company’s beauty business in Mexico, who are compensated predominantly through commission.

There has been no other change in employee population or employee compensation arrangements that the Company believes would significantly affect the pay ratio disclosure.

Director Compensation Philosophy, Design and Stock Ownership

Each May, up to and including May 2020, the Nominating and Governance Committee, working in conjunction with management and Meridian (the Board’s external compensation consultant), reviewsreviewed the Company’snon-employee director compensation program value and designdesigned and approvesapproved a plan for the coming year. This review comparescompared the Company’s plan against trends and best practices in the external marketplace. For the purpose of determining market compensation, the Nominating and Governance Committee usesused the same compensation peer group developed for executive compensation benchmarking noted above under the heading “Peer Group & Compensation Benchmarking”. Beginning in May 2021, director compensation will become the responsibility of the Compensation Committee, following the same philosophy and methodology.

The Company’s director compensation which has not changed since May 2016, is comprised of the following elements:non-employee directors of the Company each receive an annual retainer fee of $230,000. The retainer fee is awarded 56.5% in restricted stock units ($130,000), on an annual basis, and 43.5% in cash ($100,000)., paid in equal $25,000 increments on a quarterly basis. The cash payment may be paid instead in stock, at the director’s election. The restricted stock units vest on the date of the following annual shareholder meeting, unless vesting is deferred beyond that date in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In addition to the annual retainer, the Nominating and Governance Committee chairperson receives an additional retainer fee of $15,000 per year, the Audit Finance and Corporate Responsibility Committee and Compensation and Management Development Committee chairpersons each receive an additional retainer fee of $20,000 per year, and effective in the Presiding Directorfourth quarter of 2020, the Nominating Committee chairperson receives an additional retainer fee of $15,000 per year (except when also servingyear. In addition, Ms. Cameron, as a committee chairperson, in which case the Presiding Director insteadNon-Executive Chairman, receives an aggregateadditional retainer fee of $110,000 per year, which was adjusted effective for the fourth quarter of 2020 after Ms. Cameron ceased to serve as the chairperson of the Nominating Committee. In the absence of an independent Non-Executive Chairman, the Company’s director compensation policies also provide for payment of an additional retainer of $30,000$25,000 per year)year to a designated lead or presiding independent director (in addition to any retainer he or she may also receive for being the chair of a committee). Meeting fees are not paid unless the total number of meetings exceeds 12 in any year, after which a fee of $1,500 for each meeting of the Board and for each meeting of any committee attended will be made (other than telephonic meetings of the Audit Finance and Corporate Responsibility Committee to review the financial statements prior to the Company’s release of earnings, for which directors would not be paid incrementally). In 2020, the Board approved a 20% reduction in the quarterly cash retainer fees for the second and third quarters of 2020, including chair fees. The non-employee directors also waived their 2020 attendance fee of $1,500 per non-employee director per meeting for each meeting attended over 12 in the calendar year. The Company also providespreviously awarded each new independent director a grantone-time issuance of 1,000 shares (or $50,000 in share value, if the share price was below $50.00 on the grant date) of the Company’s common stock to each newnon-employee director afterCompany in consideration of services rendered upon the completion of his or her initial three months of service on the Board.Board, but ended this practice in the third quarter of 2020.

Non-employee directors may also participate in the Company’s Matching Gift Program. Under the Program, the Company will match dollar for dollar up to $3,500 of a director’s charitable gifts to eligible organizations and institutions.Non-employee directors may also receive compensation in the form of Company merchandise.

The Company’snon-employee directors are required to own stock of the Company under the same program as the Company’s NEOs, described above under the heading “Stock Ownership Requirements and Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policies”, at a value of five times the value of the cash portion of their annual retainer. Stock ownership is subject to a holding requirement of at least 50% of theafter-tax value of future received shares, net of the amount of any strike price, for anynon-employee director not at their required ownership level, until such ownership level requirement is satisfied. The intention of the holding requirement is to provide a process fornon-employee directors to reach their holding requirement when newly elected or when fluctuations in the stock price cause the value of their holdings to be below the required level. Provided anon-employee director is complying with such holding requirement, he or she will not be considered to be out of compliance if not at their full ownership level. Shares held for the purpose of measuring ownership include those that would be awarded under running performance share programs if forecast performance is achieved. As of December 29, 2018,26, 2020, all continuing directors were in compliance with the Company’s stock ownership requirements. In addition,non-employee directors may not hedge the economic risks involved in the ownership of Company stock through the use of derivative instruments. The Company’s stock trading policy prohibitsnon-employee directors and employees from trading in exchange-based derivatives such as puts, calls, spreads, straddles, etc. related to the Company’s securities, including any publicly-traded debt securities, and it prohibits short selling and pledging of Company stock.

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires the Company to include in its proxy statement at least once every three years an advisory vote regarding Named Executive Officer compensation. In accordance with the preference expressed by shareholders in the 20182019 advisory vote regarding the frequency of voting on the Company’s executive compensation program, the Company is holding such advisory votes on an annual basis. The Company asks that you indicate your approval of the compensation paid to its NEOs under its executive compensation program as described in this proxy statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the accompanying narrative and tabular disclosures.

The Board acknowledges the importance of considering shareholder concerns about executive compensation practices and policies of the Company, and welcomes the input of shareholders. The Board, through the efforts of its Compensation Committee, believes that it has created over a period of years a strong culture ofpay-for-performance. This culture has resulted in an executive compensation program that makes a substantial amount of the executives’ overall compensation dependent upon Company performance. In 2018, the portion of performance-based compensation for the new CEO and on average for the three other NEOs (Mr. Hemus is excluded due to his retirement and because his position is not expected to be filled) as a percentage of total target direct compensation equaled 80.0 percent and 66.2 percent, respectively. In addition, the mix of short, medium and long-term performance-based objectives included in the incentive compensation structure is considered to create an appropriate balance of motivations in an effort to ensure that the Company’s short-term and long-term strategies are realized and increase shareholder value.

In 2018, the Company’s local currency sales were down 3%, excluding a2-point negative impact from winding down the Company’s Beauticontrol business in the third quarter of 2017 and from combining its units in Japan as of the beginning of 2018.Non-U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share in local currency, as reported in the Company’s January 2019 earnings release, decreased versus 2017 by 11 percent in U.S. dollars and 5 percent in local currency. This was in line with the sales comparison, as lower profit on lower sales in Europe (notwithstanding benefits achieved under the 2017 revitalization program) and Asia Pacific, and elevated costs in Brazil, were partially offset by the improved value chain in North America, including not having the 2017 sales of Beauticontrol and its loss, and lower corporate costs mainly from lower expense of management incentive programs. U.S. GAAP earnings per share of $3.11 was significantly better than the 2017 loss per share of $5.22, with the main differences composed of charges associated with the enactment of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that were lower than such charges in 2018, lowerre-engineering costs from the revitalization program announced in July 2017, and the 2017non-cash impairment charge associated with purchase accounting goodwill that did not recur in 2018, along with a higher amount of gains associated with Orlando land sales and a transaction related to a warehouse in Japan. These amounts were partially offset by the elements related tonon-GAAP diluted earnings per share outlined above. As measured for incentive purposes,pre-tax income decreased by 7 percent in 2018 versus 2017. Cash flow from operating activities, net of investing activities at $97 million in 2018, was below $160 million in 2017, primarily from lower profit by the segments and higher cash outflows, most significantly related to amounts due at the beginning versus end of the periods fornon-income taxes and amounts due for recurring costs in light of a lower level of business in certain units and higher amounts paid in connection with the Company’s 2017 revitalization program. Additionally, there was a higher cash outflow from inventory produced but not sold. This was partially offset by higher proceeds from Orlando land transactions and from the transaction related to a warehouse in Japan. Cash flow as measured for incentive purposes at $108.7 million in 2018 was 47% of net income as measured for incentive purposes. In light of Company performance in 2018 being below its threshold goals forpre-tax income and cash flow, there were no incentive payouts for executive officers with worldwide responsibility. (See page 32 for a reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to incentive basis forpre-tax income and cash flow.)

In 2018,2020, shareholders demonstrated their support of the Company’s executive compensation practices and policies, as evidenced by approximately 97%90% of votes cast in favor of the Company’s executive compensation program.

Shareholders are being asked to adopt the following resolution:

Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement under Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the accompanying narrative and tabular disclosures.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Vote Required

To be approved, this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, which means that votes cast “for” the proposal must exceed votes cast “against” the proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Proposal to Approve the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2019 Incentive Plan

The shareholders are asked to approve the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2019 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the Board at its February 21, 2019 meeting, subject to shareholder approval. A full copy of the Plan is attached as Appendix A.

If approved, the Plan will replace the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2016 Incentive Plan (the “Existing Plan”) and no further awards will be made under the Existing Plan. Any shares remaining available under the Existing Plan will be rolled into the Plan, and will be available for future grants under the Plan. The terms and conditions of outstanding awards under the Existing Plan will not be affected by the adoption or approval of the Plan, and the Existing Plan will remain in effect with respect to such outstanding awards.

The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of participants to those of the Company’s shareholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to attract, motivate and retain the services of participants upon whose judgment, interest and special efforts the successful conduct of its operations largely is dependent.

The Company is committed to using equity incentive awards prudently and within reasonable limits. The Company’s historic average burn rate over the past three fiscal years, representing equity award grants as a percentage of total shares outstanding is 1.9% percent.

If the Plan is adopted by our shareholders, we will continue to be able to make equity incentive awards, which we believe are critical for attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining a talented management team who will contribute to our success. If the Plan is not adopted by our shareholders, the Company will continue to operate the Existing Plan pursuant to its current provisions.

The following is a description of the material terms of the Plan. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which has been included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms used below are defined in the Plan.

Plan Highlights

Some of the key features of the Plan are as follows:

The Plan shall be administered by a committee of the Board (the “Committee”) comprised entirely of independent,non-employee directors;

No award under the Plan may vest in less than one year from the date of grant, provided that this requirement will not apply for up to 5% of the shares initially authorized for issuance under the Plan, and provided further that the Committee may provide for accelerated vesting in an award agreement or otherwise, including upon a change of control or termination of employment;

“Fungible share ratio” provisions contained in the Existing Plan have been excluded – resulting in a smaller new share authorization as compared with the new share authorization the Company sought in 2016;

“Liberal share recycling” is prohibited–meaning that the Plan does not recycle shares that were not issued or delivered upon the net settlement or net exercise of an option or SAR, or shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the purchase price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding award;

Options and SARs granted under the Plan may not be repriced without shareholder approval;

Dividend equivalent rights with respect to Options and SARs are prohibited and any dividend or dividend equivalent rights granted with respect to any other award under the Plan will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying award;

Under the terms of the Plan, outstanding awards are subject to double trigger vesting upon a change of control – meaning that both a qualifying termination of employment and a change of control must occur prior to the accelerated vesting of awards in a transaction where such awards are assumed by an acquirer; if such awards are not assumed in a change of control by the acquirer, then the awards will vest in full upon such change of control; and

The Plan includes a clawback policy allowing for the recovery of awards upon a restatement of financial results.

Description of the Plan

Participants

Eligible persons to participate in the Plan include all employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as its directors and consultants. As of March 25, 2019, approximately 250 employees and 11 independent directors would be eligible to participate in the Plan if selected for participation by the Committee.

Available Shares of Common Stock

The number of shares of Common Stock of Tupperware available for stock-based awards under the Plan will be 850,000 shares plus all shares remaining under the Existing Plan, all of which may be granted in the form of incentive stock options. As of May 22, 2019, the Company estimates that a total of 2.6 million shares will be available under the Plan, after considering the new share authorization of 850,000 shares and the shares remaining under the Existing Plan. The number of available shares under the Plan will be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of shares which become subject to outstanding awards. Shares awarded or subject to purchase under the Plan or the Existing Plan (or any other plan maintained by the Company under which equity awards remain outstanding) that are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by the Company, for reasons including, but not limited to, a forfeiture of an award, or the termination, expiration or cancellation of an award, or settlement of any award in cash rather than shares of common stock, will again be available for issuance under the Plan and will be added to the share reserve pool, provided that any addition to the share reserve pool will be adjusted by (i) whatever factor or factors (i.e., fungible share ratio) were applied to determine the number of shares originally deducted from the share reserve pool under the Plan or (ii) with respect to awards granted under a prior equity plan, whatever factor or factors applied to determine the number of shares originally deducted from the share reserve pool under such prior equity plan. If, on the other hand, the option exercise price, purchase price and/or tax withholding obligation under an award is satisfied by the Company retaining shares or by the participant tendering shares (either by actual delivery or attestation), the number of shares so retained or tendered will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the share reserve pool and will not again be available for issuance under the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the aggregate value of cash compensation and the grant date fair value of shares that may be awarded or granted during any fiscal year of the Company to any director may not exceed $600,000. The closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on March 25, 2019 was $24.69.

Administration of the Plan

The Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board, which will be composed of at least two members of the Board, each of whom is intended to be a“non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and “independent” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or the principal stock exchange on which the shares are then traded. The Compensation and Management Development Committee may delegate its duties to the Board, a subcommittee of the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer or other members of management, except that awards and matters relating to the officers of the Company will be made or administered only by the Committee. Awards made to directors of the Company will be made under the Plan by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (together with the Compensation and Management Development Committee, the “Committee”).

Performance Goals

Under the Plan, the Committee may provide that the grant, vesting or conditions to exercise may be conditioned on the achievement of performance goals. The measures applicable to a particular award will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Performance goals may be based exclusively on the attainment of one or any combination of the following related to all or a portion of the Company’s operations or on an individual basis: specified levels of net income or earnings per share (including earnings per share from continuing operations), operating income, segment profit, revenues, return on operating assets, productivity, compliance, efficiency, return on equity, return on invested capital, stockholder return (measured in terms of stock price appreciation) and/or total stockholder return (measured in terms of stock price appreciation plus cash dividends), achievement of cost control, working capital turns (including related to individual components of working capital, including days outstanding), cash flow, economic value added, total or active sales force growth, stock price of the Company, or any other goal selected by the Committee whether or not listed in the Plan. Performance goals may also include the performance of any

individual participant (other than remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary), satisfactory attainment of personal or project based objectives, and/or the attainment of a threshold performance rating under the Company’s performance management program. The performance goals also may be based upon the attaining of specified levels of Company performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations.

The applicable performance goals may be applied on apre- orpost-tax basis and may be adjusted to include or exclude components of any performance goal, including, without limitation: (1) asset write-downs, including but not limited to those related to purchase accounting intangibles and amortization of those intangibles; (2) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (3) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, regulations, or other laws or regulations affecting reported results; (4) any reorganization and restructuring programs, including but not limited to both costs classified as exit costs and those not classified as such; (5) amounts recorded in connection with pension settlements; (6) acquisitions or divestitures; (7) the disposition of property, plant and equipment outside the ordinary course of business, including casualty losses, and related insurance recoveries; (8) unusual or nonrecurring items; (9) the translation impact of changes or differences in currency exchange rates compared with those used in setting such a performance goal; (10) the impact of significant currency devaluation on balance sheet positions in countries accounted for as hyper-inflationary; (11) thenon-cash portion of excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements and/or (12) the impact of significant changes in capital structure, including its equity and debt.

Minimum Vesting Provisions

Under the terms of the Plan, no award will be exercisable or will vest and be settled prior to the one (1)-year anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that (i) this minimum vesting restriction will not apply to awards with respect to the number of shares which, in the aggregate, do not exceed 5% of the total number of shares initially available for awards under the Plan, and (ii) such minimum vesting provision will not restrict the right of the Committee to provide in an award agreement or at any other time for the acceleration or continuation of the vesting or exercisability of an award upon or after a change in control, a termination of employment or otherwise.

Types of Awards Available Under the Plan

The following types of equity-based awards may be made under the Plan: performance awards in the form of performance shares and performance share units,non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, and stock awards in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units.

Performance Awards

Performance awards may be used to create annual or long-term incentives. The Committee will have the discretion to establish the nature of the performance measures, the individual targets applicable to such measures and the maximum awards to participants, as well as the right to make adjustments. Goals may be established which focus on specific performance by individuals or units within the Company, as well as the Company as a whole. The Committee will establish target levels for each performance measure, with different levels of awards to be paid for each level. Different measures may be used for different management groups. These awards may be payable either in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. Any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to performance awards will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying awards. Awards may also be established in which the Committee requires the payment of a purchase price.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock options may be issued under the Plan in the form of“non-qualified” or “incentive” stock options. Stock appreciation rights may be issued either in tandem with stock options or on a freestanding basis. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, a participant is generally entitled to receive an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. The amount may be payable in common stock or, to the extent provided for in the applicable award agreement, cash or a combination of cash and stock. The exercise price of a stock option or stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of the price of a share of common stock of the Company on the date of the grant, and after grant without shareholder approval neither stock options nor stock appreciation rights may be repriced (whether by amendment, cancellation and replacement with another grant, or for cash or a lower-priced award). Payment of the

exercise price of a stock option may be in cash, in shares having a fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price, or a combination of cash and shares. Stock options and stock appreciation rights may be exercisable at times and for periods as established by the Committee, but in no event beyond ten (10) years from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Committee may make restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards of the Company’s common stock. During the restriction period applicable to a restricted stock award, participants may vote the shares represented by restricted stock awards. Dividends declared upon the restricted stock and dividend equivalent amounts on restricted stock unit award shares will accrue and be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the underlying award. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards will be forfeited by participants if they cease to be employed by the Company or cease serving as a director of the Company, as the case may be, prior to the lapse of restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the relevant committee.

Other Stock-Based Awards

The Committee may grant awards of common stock and other awards under the Plan that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon the Company’s common stock. Any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to other stock-based awards will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying awards.

Change of Control

In the event of a “change of control” (as defined by the Plan), an acquirer may substitute outstanding awards with equivalent substitute awards. If awards are substituted and within two years following a change of control, the participant is terminated without cause or, in the case of an executive officer, resigns for good reason, then the participant’s outstanding awards immediately will become vested and exercisable, with performance awards vesting based on actual performance through the date of termination of employment, as specified in the award agreement. In the event awards are not assumed by an acquirer, then all outstanding awards immediately will become vested and exercisable, with performance awards vesting based on based on actual performance through the date of the change of control, as specified in the award agreement.

Clawbacks

In the event it is determined that the Company’s previously reported financial results have been misstated due to error, omission, fraud or other misconduct, including a misstatement that leads to a restatement of previously issued financial statements, any previous compensation, including any cash payment, deferral of cash payment, or delivery of common stock of the Company which was made pursuant to any incentive compensation award will be subject to recovery by the Company as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall in good faith determine. The Company may recover all or any portion of any award made to any participant with respect to a fiscal year of the Company when misstated financial information that formed the basis for the award occurs. The Committee will also have the power to (i) recover from a participant any shares delivered in connection with an award, and/or (ii) cancel an outstanding award in connection with such an action. Furthermore, in the event that the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to materialnon-compliance with financial reporting requirements, the Company will recover from any current or former executive officer who received incentive-based compensation during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, such excess amounts that the executive officer would not have received under the restated financial statements. This recovery shall be in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements as may be promulgated from time to time. Under the terms of the Plan, the clawback provisions will be modifiable by action of the Board without additional shareholder approval, to the extent required to conform to the requirements relating to clawback under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or as otherwise required by applicable law or New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.

Term of the Plan and Amendments

The Board may terminate, modify or amend the Plan at any time, except that no modifications may be made without shareholder approval if (i) such approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or (ii) such amendment would increase shares available under the Plan, modify the Plan’s eligibility requirements, materially

increase the benefits accruing under the Plan, modify the repricing prohibitions included in the Plan, or modify the director compensation limits under the Plan. The term of the Plan is ten (10) years from the date of shareholder approval.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain federal income tax consequences, pursuant to the tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, of awards made under the Plan. Federal income tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, and the following summary is not a complete description of the possible federal income tax consequences of awards made under the Plan. The following also does not address the state, local, foreign or other tax consequences of awards made under the Plan. The following should not be interpreted as tax advice.

There are generally no federal income tax consequences to either the Company or the participant as a result of the grant of a“non-qualified” or “incentive” stock option, or upon the exercise of an “incentive” stock option. Upon the exercise of a“non-qualified” stock option, however, the participant will recognize ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding, if an employee) based upon the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and a federal income tax deduction is generally available to the Company for the same amount, except to the extent that the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply. Generally, federal income taxes are payable by the participant upon the sale of shares received in the exercise of an “incentive” stock option, the amount and nature of which are dependent upon the length of time between the date the option was exercised and the date the stock was sold.

The grant of an SAR has no immediate federal income tax consequences to the participant or the Company. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding, if an employee) equal to the amount of cash received, the fair market value on the date of transfer of the shares of common stock delivered, or the sum of any combination of cash and shares. The Company is generally entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the time ordinary income is recognized by the participant, except to the extent that the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply.

A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of shares of restricted stock, unless the participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at such time. If such election is made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding, if an employee) at the time of the grant equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. If such election is not made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding, if an employee) at the time the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. In addition, a participant receiving dividends with respect to restricted stock for which the above-described election has not been made and prior to the time the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding, if an employee), rather than dividend income. A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of a restricted stock unit. A participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding in the case of an employee) generally at the time of settlement of the award equal to the fair market value of any shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by the Company. The Company is generally entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the time ordinary income is recognized by the participant with respect to restricted stock or restricted stock units, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply.

A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time performance award grants are made, and the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction at that time. Upon settlement of performance awards, the participant will generally recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and be subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee) in an amount equal to the fair market value of any shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by the Company. The Company is generally entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the time ordinary income is recognized by the participant, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply.

Section 162(m) generally limits to $1 million the amount that a publically held corporation is allowed each year to deduct for the compensation paid to the corporation’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and certain of the corporation’s current and former executive officers.

New Plan Benefits

Because benefits under the Plan will depend on the Committee’s actions and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on various future dates, it is not possible to determine at this time the benefits that might be received by employees,non-employee directors and consultants if this Plan is approved.

Vote Required

As required by the NYSE Listed Company Manual, approval of Proposal 3 requires approval by a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions will be treated as “votes cast” for purposes of this proposal only and will have the same effect as a vote “against” Proposal 3 for purposes of determining whether Proposal 3 has been approved.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORPORATION 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN.

In addition, if an SAR is granted in connection with an Option and the exercise of the SAR results in the loss of the Option right, the Shares that otherwise would have been issued upon the exercise of such related Option shall not result in a reduction in the Share Pool. Awards that may not be settled in Shares shall not result in a reduction from the Share Pool.

(b)            If, for any reason, any Shares awarded or subject to purchase under the Plan or the Prior Plans are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by the Company, for reasons including, but not limited to, a forfeiture of an Award, or the termination, expiration or cancellation of an Award, or settlement of any Award in cash rather than Shares, such Shares shall again be available for issuance pursuant to an Award under the Plan and shall be added to the Share Pool, provided that any addition to the Share Pool shall be adjusted by (i) whatever factor or factors were applied to determine the number of Shares originally deducted from the Share Pool or (ii) with respect to awards granted under the Prior Plans, whatever factor or factors were applied to determine the number of Shares originally deducted from the share pool under such Prior Plans. If the Option Exercise Price, purchase price and/or tax withholding obligation under an Award is satisfied by the Company retaining Shares or by the Participant tendering Shares (either by actual delivery or attestation), the number of Shares so retained or tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the Share Pool and shall not again be available for issuance pursuant to an Award under the Plan.

4.3.Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Prices.

(a)            Stock Option Price. The Option Price per Share purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option on the date of grant.

(b)            Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted.

(c)            Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the

Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, or accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option, based on such factors as the Committee may determine.

(d)            Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Article 6, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the Stock Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of whole Shares subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.

Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. Payment, in full or in part, may also be made in the form of delivery of unrestricted Shares already owned by the optionee of the same class as the Shares subject to the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Stock Option is exercised) or by certifying ownership of such Shares by the Participant to the satisfaction of the Company for delivery to the Company as specified by the Committee;provided,however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned Shares of the same class as the Shares subject to the Stock Option may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted. Payment may also be made in the case of an NQSO only by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price;provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued;provided, further, that shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under a Stock Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. In the discretion of the Committee and to the extent permitted by applicable law, as set forth in a form of Stock Option agreement or in a resolution of the Committee, payment for any Shares subject to a Stock Option may also (or only) be made pursuant to a “cashless exercise” by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds to pay the purchase price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.

No Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor, including any related tax obligations, has been made. An optionee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Shares that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive dividends), when the optionee has given written notice of exercise and has paid in full for such Shares.

ARTICLE 7.          Stock Appreciation Rights

7.1.Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to an Employee, Director or consultant at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SAR. In the case of aNon-Qualified Stock Option, Tandem SARs may be granted either at or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, Tandem SARs may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option.

The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs. However, the grant price of a Freestanding SAR shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The grant price of Tandem SARs shall equal the Option Price of the related Option.

7.2.Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then exercisable.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred percent (100 percent) of the difference

between the Option Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

7.3.Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 7, Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, at its sole discretion, imposes upon them.

7.4.SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the grant price, the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

7.5.Term of SARs. The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, at its sole discretion;provided,however, that such term shall not exceed ten (10) years.

7.6.Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(a)            The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR; by

(b)            The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

The Award Agreement shall specify whether the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

ARTICLE 8.          Restricted Stock

8.1.Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Employees, Directors and consultants to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of Shares to be awarded to any Participant, the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 8.3.

The Committee may, prior to grant, condition the vesting of Restricted Stock upon continued service of the Participant or the achievement of Performance Goals. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

8.2.Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of such Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that the ownership of the Shares represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award. The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award.

8.3.Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)            Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement referred to in Section 8.3(d), during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Shares of Restricted Stock. Within these limits, the Committee may provide for the lapse of restrictions based upon period of service in installments or otherwise and may accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, restrictions based upon period of service.

(b)            Except as provided in this paragraph (b) and paragraph (a), above, and the Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Shares that is the subject of the Restricted Stock to vote the Shares. Dividends shall be held and shall accrue, subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock.

(c)            If and when any applicable Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, book-entry registration or unlegended certificates for such Shares, as determined by the Committee, and any accrued but unpaid dividends shall be delivered to the Participant.

(d)            Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of an Award Agreement.

ARTICLE 9.          Restricted Stock Units

9.1.Nature of Award. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in Shares that will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units by delivery of Shares to the Participant or, to the extent provided for in the applicable Award Agreement, by the payment of cash based upon the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares. Restricted Stock Units may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 9.2.

9.2.Terms and Conditions. The Committee may, in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units, designate them as Performance Awards, in which event it shall condition the vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Committee does not designate Restricted Stock Units as Performance Awards, it may also condition the vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether Restricted Stock Units are Performance Awards, the Committee may also condition the vesting thereof upon the continued service of the Participant. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify the consequences for the Restricted Stock Units of the Participant’s termination of employment. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as and when the Restricted Stock Units vest or, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, at a later time specified by the Committee or in accordance with an election of the Participant, if the Committee so permits. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until they are settled, except to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement in the event of the Participant’s death. The Award Agreement for Restricted Stock Units shall specify whether, to what extent and on what terms and conditions the applicable Participant shall be entitled to receive payments of cash, Common Stock or other property corresponding to the dividends payable on the Common Stock (subject to Section 21.3 below);provided, however, that any dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Stock Units.

ARTICLE 10.        Performance Awards

10.1.Grant of Performance Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, as determined by the Committee. Such Performance Awards may take the form determined by the Committee, including without limitation, cash, Shares, Performance Units and Performance Shares, or any combination thereof. Performance Awards may be awarded as short-term or long-term incentives. Any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to Performance Awards shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Performance Awards.

10.2.        Performance Goals.

(a)            The Committee may set Performance Goals at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participants, and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions, including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Performance Share, or restrictions which are necessary or desirable as a result of applicable laws or regulations. Each Performance Award shall be subject to an Award Agreement.

(b)            The Committee shall have the authority to make adjustments to Performance Goals for any outstanding Performance Awards which the Committee deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of goals the Committee shall have precluded its authority to make such adjustments.

10.3.        Value of Performance Units/Shares.

(a)            Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant.

(b)            Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

10.4.Earning of Performance Awards. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of any Performance Award shall be entitled to receive the payout earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goals have been achieved, except as adjusted pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or as deferred pursuant to Article 13.

10.5.Timing of Payment of Performance Awards. Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions prescribed or authorized by the Committee. The Committee may permit the Participants to elect to defer or the Committee may require the deferral of, the receipt of Performance Awards upon such terms as the Committee deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 11.        Other Stock-Based Awards

Other Awards of Common Stock and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon, Common Stock, including (without limitation) dividend equivalents and convertible debentures, may be granted under the Plan;provided, however, that (i) dividends or dividend equivalents shall not be included in such other Awards which take the form of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and (ii) any dividend equivalents will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Award. Subject to the Section 3.2(d) relating to the grant of up to 5% of the Shares available under the Plan as not subject to the minimum vesting provisions included in that section, each Director shall receive aone-time grant of one thousand (1,000) Shares upon serving his or her initial three months as a member of the Board.

ARTICLE 12.        Beneficiary

12.1.Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively). Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. Any such designation shall control over any inconsistent testamentary orinter vivos transfer by a Participant, and any benefit of a Participant under the Plan shall pass automatically to a Participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to a proper designation pursuant to this Section 12.1 without administration under any statute or rule of law governing the transfer of property by will, trust, gift or intestacy.

12.2.Absence of Designation. In the absence of any such designation contemplated by Section 12.1, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid pursuant to the Participant’s will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.

ARTICLE 13.        Deferrals

13.1.Deferrals. The Committee may determine that the delivery of Shares or the payment of cash, or a combination thereof, upon the exercise or settlement of all or a portion of any Award (other than awards of Incentive Stock Options,Non-Qualified Stock Options and SARs) made hereunder shall be deferred, or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, approve deferral elections made by holders of Awards. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

13.2.Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any deferral permitted by this Plan or an Award Agreement or any distribution of an Award pursuant to the terms of this Plan or an Award Agreement would subject a Participant to tax under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall modify the Plan or applicable Award Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable

provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and, in each case, without any material diminution in the value of the payments to an affected Participant. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan and any Awards granted hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants.

ARTICLE 14.        Rights of Participants

14.1.Employment or Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as a consultant or Director at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries and affiliates (or between Subsidiaries and affiliates) shall not be deemed a termination of employment. However, subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company ceases to be a Subsidiary or affiliate, any Participant who is no longer employed by or a consultant to the Company or one of its remaining Subsidiaries and affiliates following such event shall be considered to have terminated his or her employment or consultancy, notwithstanding any continued employment or consultancy with such former Subsidiary or affiliate.

14.2.Participation. No Employee, Director or consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

ARTICLE 15.        Change of Control

15.1.Treatment of Outstanding Awards. In the event of a Change of Control, the successor organization (the “Successor”) may substitute equivalent awards. A substitute equivalent award must (i) have a value at least equal to the value of the Award being substituted; (ii) relate to a publicly-traded equity security of the Successor involved in the Change of Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or the Successor following the Change of Control; (iii) be the same type of award as the Award being substituted; and (iv) have other terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Award being substituted, in each case, as determined by the Committee (as constituted prior to the Change of Control) in its sole discretion. If an Award is substituted by the Successor and within two (2) years following a Change of Control the Participant (i) is terminated by the Successor (or an affiliate thereof) without Cause or (ii) if the Participant is an executive officer of the Company (who is subject to reporting under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and resigns for Good Reason, the following rules shall apply to the substituted Awards, unless otherwise specifically provided in the applicable Award Agreement:

(a)            Vesting of Options and SARs. Any and all Options and SARs shall become immediately exercisable as of the termination or resignation.

(b)            Lapse of Restricted Stock and Unit Restrictions that are not Performance-Based. Any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall lapse. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash or stock at such time as specified in the Award Agreement.

(c)            Vesting, Payment and Achievement of Performance-Based Awards. Performance-based Awards shall vest with respect to each performance measurement tranche completed during the Performance Period prior to the termination or resignation (or, if the Performance Period is not divided into separate performance measurement tranches, proportionately based on the portion of the Performance Period completed prior to such resignation or termination and expressed in terms of the total of completed months out of the total number of months within the Performance Period), with payment to be made, based on actual performance, in cash or stock at such time as specified in the Award Agreement.

(d)            Transfer. A transfer of employment among the Successor and its affiliates shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a termination or resignation of employment.

15.2.Non-Substituted Awards; Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a Change of Control, any outstanding Awards that are not substituted with equivalent awards, by the Successor, or in the case of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Awards shall be subject to the following rules:

(a)            Options and SARs. All Options and SARs shall be fully vested and exercisable and the Committee shall either (1) give a Participant a reasonable opportunity to exercise the Option and SAR before the transaction resulting in the Change of Control or (2) pay the Participant the difference between the exercise price for the Option or SAR and the consideration provided to other similarly situated shareholders in such Change of Control;provided, that if the exercise price of such Option or SAR exceeds the aforementioned consideration provided, then the Option or SAR shall be canceled and terminated without any payment. In either case, such Option or SAR shall be cancelled. The Committee shall not be obligated to treat all Options and SARs subject to this Section 15.2 in the same manner.

(b)            Lapse of Restricted Stock and Unit Restrictions that are not Performance-Based. Any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall lapse. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash or stock at such time as specified in the Award Agreement.

(c)            Vesting, Payment and Achievement of Performance-Based Awards. Performance-based Awards shall vest with respect to each performance measurement tranche completed during the Performance Period prior to the Change of Control or dissolution or liquidation (or, if the Performance Period is not divided into separate performance measurement tranches, proportionately based on the portion of the Performance Period completed prior to such Change of Control or dissolution or liquidation and expressed in terms of the total of completed months out of the total number of months within the Performance Period), with payment to be made, based on actual performance, in cash or stock at such time as specified in the Award Agreement.

15.3.Termination, Amendment, and Modifications of Change of Control Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement provision, the provisions of this Article 15 may not be terminated, amended, or modified in any manner that adversely affects any then-outstanding Award without the prior written consent of the Participant if such action is taken (a) on or after the date of a Change of Control or (b) at the request of a party seeking to effectuate a Change of Control or otherwise in anticipation of a Change of Control.

ARTICLE 16.        Amendment, Modification, and Termination

16.1.Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Except as specifically provided in Section 15.3, at any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan. However, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, no such amendment or modification may:

(a)            Become effective if stockholder approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including any rule of the New York Stock Exchange, or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded;

(b)            Increase the total number of Shares which may be issued under this Plan, except as provided in Article 4 hereof;

(c)            Modify the eligibility requirements;

(d)            Materially increase the benefits accruing under the Plan;

(e)            Modify the prohibition on repricing provisions set forth in Section 16.2; or

(f)            Modify the Director compensation limits set forth in Section 5.1.

16.2.Awards Previously Granted. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to a Change of Control, the Committee shall have the right to replace any previously granted Award under the Plan with an Award equal to the value of the replaced Award at the time of replacement, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, without

obtaining the consent of the Participant holding such Award;provided,however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of any Award Agreement provision, the Committee shall not modify any Stock Option or SAR without stockholder approval if the effect of such modification would be to (i) reduce an Option Price of a Stock Option or the grant price of an SAR; (ii) cancel a Stock Option or SAR in exchange for other Awards under the Plan; (iii) cancel a Stock Option or SAR in exchange for a Stock Option or SAR with an Option Price or grant price, respectively, that is less than the Option Price or grant price of the cancelled Stock Option or SAR, respectively; or (iv) cancel a Stock Option or SAR in exchange for cash, in each case, other than in connection with a Change of Control or the adjustment provisions set forth in Section 4.3;provided,further, that no such replacement shall deprive the Participant of any rights he or she may have pursuant to Article 15, which shall apply to the replacement Award to the same extent as to the replaced Award.

(b) In the event it is determined that the Company’s previously reported financial results have been misstated due to error, omission, fraud or other misconduct, including a misstatement that leads to a restatement of previously issued financial statements, any previous compensation, including any cash payment, deferral of cash payment, or delivery of common stock of the Company which was made pursuant to any incentive compensation award shall be subject to recovery by the Company as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall in good faith determine. The Company may recover all or any portion of any award made to any Participant with respect to a fiscal year of the Company when misstated financial information that formed the basis for the award occurs. The maximum amount subject to recovery from a Participant shall be the amount by which the affected award exceeded the amount that would have been payable had the financial information been initially prepared as adjusted to correct for the misstatement, or any lesser amount that the Committee may determine;provided, however, that in the case of a discretionary award, the Committee may make such determination as to the amount of any repayment it deems to have been based upon financial results that would have been adjusted to correct such misstatement, up to the total amount of the discretionary award. The Committee shall also have the power under this Section 16.2(b) to (i) recover from a Participant any Shares delivered in connection with an Award, and/or (ii) cancel an outstanding Award in connection with such an action. Furthermore, in the event that the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to materialnon-compliance with financial reporting requirements, the Company will recover from any current or former executive officer who received incentive-based compensation during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, such excess amounts that the executive officer would not have received under the restated financial statements. This recovery shall be in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements as may be promulgated from time to time. The Committee may modify this Section 16.2(b) without additional shareholder approval to the extent required to conform to the requirements relating to clawbacks under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by applicable law or New York Stock Exchange listing requirement.

16.3.Changes in Law and Tax Accounting. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2, the Board shall have authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules as well as other developments, and to grant Awards which qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules without stockholder approval.

ARTICLE 17.        Withholding

17.1.Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising under or as a result of this Plan.

17.2.Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required and/or permitted upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, or upon any other taxable event hereunder, the Committee may require or permit, at its discretion, satisfaction of the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares (or by surrendering Shares previously owned or purchased in the open market) having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax, or such other statutorily permissible amount, which could be imposed on the transaction that would not cause the award to be treated as “variable” as defined under U.S. GAAP.

ARTICLE 18.        Successors

All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,spin-off, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 19.        Restrictions on Transferability of Awards

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Award shall be transferable (either by sale, pledge, assignment, gift, or other alienation or hypothecation) by a Participant other than by will or by application of the laws of descent and distribution;provided, however, no Award may be transferred for value (as defined in the General Instructions to FormS-8). The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

ARTICLE 20.        Unfunded Status of Plan

It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments;provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

ARTICLE 21.        Miscellaneous

21.1.Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to an employee or consultant of any Subsidiary of the Company, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the employee or consultant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled revert to the Company.

21.2.Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. The Committee may grant Awards to individuals who are eligible to participate in the plan who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

21.3.Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 4 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Awards).

ARTICLE 22.        Legal Construction

22.1.Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

22.2.Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

22.3.Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national

securities exchanges as may be required. With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to comply with this Section 22.3, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares or uncertificated forms of Shares under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)            Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the New York Stock Exchange or such other securities exchange as may at the time be the principal market for the Shares;

(b)            Any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and

(c)            Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

22.4.Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
