ZEBRA Dear

Fellow Stockholder

April 5, 20182, 2020 It is my privilege to serve as Zebra’s Independent Chairman. Zebra celebrated landmark achievements this past fiscal year, including celebrating the Company’s Zebra’s 50th anniversary and joining the S&P 500. Zebra continued to drive solid profitable growth in 2019 and has made strong progress in advancing our Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision. The Board of Directors believes that strong corporate governance practices help create long-term value for our stockholders and are vital to Zebra’s success. In 2019, we took significant steps to enhance our governance profile, including implementing a targeted stockholder engagement program and launching our corporate social responsibility website. Additionally, to further strengthen our governance practices, the Board has updated a number of Zebra’s governance policies, including our Insider Trading Policy, which now explicitly prohibits the pledging and hedging of Zebra securities, and adopted new policies, such as our Clawback Policy and Interlocking Directorate Policy. The Board of Directors believes that our governance practices and stockholder engagement program are serving, and will continue to serve, Zebra and its stakeholders well. I am confident that Zebra will continue to build upon its positive momentum with the Board of Director’s active involvement and support to ensure that the next 50 years are as successful as our first 50 years.

The persons named on the proxy card intend to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment. Because the deadlines for stockholder proposals and nominations have passed, we do not expect any items of business to be brought before the annual meeting other than the items described in this proxy statement.

Holders of our Class A common stock at the close of business on March 23, 2018, the record date, may vote at the meeting. We refer to the holders of our Class A common stock as “stockholders” throughout this proxy statement. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held as of the record date.

You may own shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, which includes shares for which you have certificates.

WHY DID I RECEIVE A ONE-PAGE NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS INSTEAD OF A FULL SET OF PRINTED MATERIALS?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have made these proxy materials available via the Internet and have elected to use the SEC’s notice and access rules for soliciting proxies.

WHY DID MY HOUSEHOLD RECEIVE ONLY ONE COPY OF THE NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS OR PROXY MATERIALS?

In addition to furnishing proxy materials electronically, we take advantage of the SEC’s “householding” rules to reduce the delivery cost of materials. Under such rules, only one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you have requested paper copies, only one set of proxy materials is delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. If you are a stockholder sharing an address and wish to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or copy of the proxy materials, you may so request by contacting Computershare by phone at 1-800-522-6645 or 201-680-6578 or by mail to P.O. Box 30170, College Station, Texas 77845. A separate copy will be promptly provided following receipt of your request, and you will receive separate materials in the future. If you currently share an address with another stockholder but are nonetheless receiving separate copies of the materials, you may request delivery of a single copy in the future by contacting Computershare at the number or address shown above.

If you are theholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted if you (1) submit a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary, (2) submit a later-dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary, (3) provide subsequent telephone or Internet voting instructions, or (4) vote in person at the meeting. If you are abeneficial owner of shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote.

WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?

Our Board has appointed Michael A. Steele and Jim L. Kaput to serve as the proxies for the meeting. Mr. Steele is Vice President, Investor Relations, of Zebra. Mr. Kaput is Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, of Zebra. By giving us your proxy, you are authorizing the proxies to vote, jointly or individually, your shares in the manner you indicate.

If you are aholder of record and you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

FOR the election of three directors nominated by our Board and named in this proxy statement as Class I directors with terms to expire in 2021 (Proposal 1);

FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 2);

FOR the approval of the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Proposal 3);

FOR ratification of the appointment by our Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2018 (Proposal 4); and

In the discretion of the named proxies regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the annual meeting.

If you are abeneficial owner and you do not provide the broker or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, the broker or other nominee will determine if he or she has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under the NYSE’s rules, brokers and other nominees have the discretion to vote on routine matters such as Proposal 4, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters such as Proposals 1, 2 and 3. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your broker or other nominee may only vote your shares on Proposal 4 and any other routine matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM, AND WHY IS A QUORUM REQUIRED?

A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. If stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Shares owned by Zebra are not voted and do not count for quorum purposes. On March 23, 2018, we had 53,360,729 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, meaning that 26,680,365 shares of Class A common stock must be represented in person or by proxy to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum if you submit a proxy or vote at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will also count towards the quorum requirement. If there is not a quorum, a majority of the shares present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date. 

To assure the presence of a quorum at the meeting, and even if you plan to attend the meeting, please vote your shares by toll-free telephone or via the Internet or, if you received your proxy materials by mail, complete, sign and date your proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF A BROKER NON-VOTE?

Brokers or other nominees who hold shares of our Class A common stock for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Thus, a broker non-vote will not affect our ability to obtain a quorum. Broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of any proposal to be voted on at the meeting.

WHAT IS THE VOTE REQUIRED FOR EACH PROPOSAL?

Nominees for director are elected by a plurality of the votes cast; however, each nominee who is elected by a plurality vote who does not receive a majority vote will have his or her resignation from the Board considered in accordance with Zebra’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. A “majority vote” means that the number of votes cast in favor of a nominee must exceed the number of votes withheld with respect to that nominee. Zebra has a

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statementwww.zebra.com

resignation process with respect to uncontested elections of directors if a nominee does not receive a majority vote for election to the Board. Prior to making these proxy materials available, each nominee for director submits a binding but contingent letter of resignation. If a nominee is then elected by a plurality vote but does not receive a majority vote, the nominee will have his or her resignation considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in light of the best interests of Zebra and its stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board concerning the acceptance or rejection of the resignation(s).

In any contested election, nominees for director will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast without a contingent resignation to be considered by the Board conditioned on receipt of a majority vote. A “contested election” means an election of directors (i) for which the Corporate Secretary of Zebra has received a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with Zebra’s Amended and Restated By-Laws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn at least five days prior to the date Zebra first makes these proxy materials available to stockholders. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes count as votes cast.

ProposalVote RequiredBroker Discretionary
Voting Allowed
Proposal 1 – Election of three Class I directors with terms expiring in 2021Plurality of votes cast with resignation process if majority vote not achievedNo
Proposal 2 – Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensationMajority of the votes cast for or againstNo
Proposal 3 – Approve our 2018 Long-Term Incentive PlanMajority of the votes cast for or againstNo
Proposal 4 – Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2017Majority of the votes cast for or againstYes

With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR all nominees, WITHHOLD your vote as to all nominees, or vote FOR all nominees except those specific nominees from whom you WITHHOLD your vote. The three nominees receiving the most FOR votes will be elected. A properly executed proxy that is marked WITHHOLD with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated. Proxies may not be voted for more than three nominees for director and stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors.

With respect to Proposals 2, 3 and 4, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN from voting on any of these proposals, your abstention will not affect the vote on the proposal since the proposal requires approval of a majority of the votes cast for or against.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ANNUAL MEETING IS ADJOURNED OR POSTPONED?

Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the rescheduled annual meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

WHO IS PAYING FOR THE COSTS OF THIS PROXY SOLICITATION?

We will bear the expense of soliciting proxies. We have retained Alliance Advisors LLC to solicit proxies for a fee of $16,500 plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronically by Zebra personnel who will not receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Copies of proxy materials and the Annual Report will be supplied to brokers and other nominees for the purpose of soliciting proxies from beneficial owners, and we will reimburse such brokers or other nominees for their reasonable expenses.

HOW CAN I FIND THE RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?

Preliminary results will be announced at the meeting. Results also will be published in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

Selecting Nominees for the Board

HOW WE FIND POTENTIAL DIRECTORS

How We Find Potential Directors The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals who are qualified to serve as directors and for recommending candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee relies on several sources to identify potential directors, including referrals from current Board members and management, suggestions from stockholders, and individual self-nominations. From time to time,In 2019 and 2020, the Nominating and Governance Committee engagesengaged with a search firmnumber of sources to Zebra Technologies Corporation I 2020 Proxy Statement 17

Considerationdirector nominees, including internal recommendations, Spencer Stuart and JPMorgan Chase’s Director Advisory Services. The Committee also worked with organizations that provide diverse candidates, including The Last Mile Group and Him for Her. What We Look for in Potential Directors We are committed to ensuring that the Board is comprised of potential Board members typically involvesdirectors who collectively provide a seriesdiverse breadth of internal discussions, reviewexperience, knowledge and skills to represent the interests of the candidates’ qualifications,stockholders and interviews with promising candidates. Candidates from all sources are evaluated in the same wayprovide effective oversight and are subject to the same standards.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN POTENTIAL DIRECTORS

support management’s execution of our long-term strategy. We believe that Board candidates must exhibit certain minimum characteristics:characteristics, such as: sound judgment and an even temperament, high ethical standards, and a healthy view of the relative responsibilities of boardBoard members and management. In addition, our Board members should be independent thinkers, articulate and intelligent, and be able to commit sufficient time and attention to Zebra’s business. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s charterCharter sets forth other important criteria, including experience as a board member of another publicly-traded company; experience in industries, global businesses or with technologies relevant to Zebra; accounting or financial reporting experience; independence; and diversity of race, gender, nationality and ethnicity.

Each year the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the performance of current directors whose terms will expire at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. When deciding whether to nominate an existing director for re-election, the Nominating and Governance Committee will confirm that the director still meets the criteria described above, but also will consider matters such as whether the director:

represents stockholder interests in Board deliberations,

demonstrates loyalty to Zebra,

attends meetings regularly,

keeps abreast of corporate and industry changes,

prepares effectively for meetings with Board members and senior management,

communicates effectively at Board and committee meetings and with senior management,

supports the deliberative process as a team member (e.g., is courteous, respectful, and constructive),

challenges the Board and management to set and achieve goals, and

possesses special characteristics that contribute to effectiveness as a Board member.

• represents stockholder interests in Board deliberations, • attends meetings regularly, • keeps abreast of corporate and industry changes, • prepares effectively for meetings with Board members and senior management, • communicates effectively at Board and committee meetings and with senior management, • supports the deliberative process as a team member (e.g., is courteous, respectful and constructive), • challenges the Board and senior management to set and achieve goals, and • possesses special characteristics that contribute to effectiveness as a Board member. Consideration of potential Board members involved a series of internal discussions, review of the candidates’ qualifications and interviews with promising candidates. Candidates from all sources were evaluated in the same way and were subject to the same standards. Although the Board does not have a specific diversity policy, it considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, age, cultural background and professional experience in evaluating Board candidates and in nominating existing directors for re-election. The Board views diversity as an important factor because the

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statementwww.zebra.com

Board believes that a variety of points of view contributes to a more effective decision-making process. When recommending Board candidates for election or re-election by stockholders, the Board and Nominating and Governance Committee focus on how the experience and skillset of each Board candidate complements those of fellow candidates and members of the Board to create a balanced Board with diverse viewpoints and deep expertise.

The Board does not endorse a mandatory retirement age, term limits or automatic re-nomination to serve as a director. The Board believes that Board and committee self-evaluation processes, as well as individual director evaluations, are the most effective means of assisting it in determining whether the Board and its committees are operating effectively and whether a director should continue to serve in that capacity. The Independent Chairman and the Nominating and Governance Committee conduct an annual evaluation of the Board, the committees of the Board and the individual directors. These assessments typically consist of the directors completing self-assessment questionnaires and the Chairman conducting one on one interviews with each director and reporting the results back to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Chairman presents the results of those questionnaires and discussions as they relate to the Board and its committees to the full Board. The Board assesses its contribution as a whole and the individual committees’ contributions, as compared to their respective charters, and identifies areas in which improvements may be made.

The Chairman presents the results of the individual director assessments to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee discusses the individual directors’ performance and contributions and determines whether reelection of incumbent directors is appropriate and whether additional director education and development opportunities are appropriate. Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and NASDAQ listing rules, a majority of our directors must be independent. Under NASDAQ listing rules, a director does not qualify as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In February 2018,2020, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed the independence of all Zebra directors and determined, and the Board formally approved, that each director, except Anders Gustafsson, our Chief Executive Officer,CEO, is independent under NASDAQ listing rules, and that no director other than Mr. Gustafsson has a relationship that would 18 Zebra Technologies Corporation I 2020 Proxy Statement www.zebra.com

Corporate Governance Limitation on Service on Other Boards interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

In March 2020, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed the independence of Linda M. Connly and determined, and the Board formally approved, Board Leadership Structure

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board may be led by an independent Chairman, or the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerCEO may be combined. When the CEO also serves as Chairman, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the independent directors must appoint an independent lead director.

The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company at this time to separate the positions of the Chairman and CEO. The Board believes that separating the positions of Chairman and CEO allows our CEO to focus on facilitating strong executive leadership as well as the day-to-day operational, financial and performance matters necessary to operate Zebra’s business while allowing the Chairman to focus on leading the Board in providing independent oversight of management. Michael Smith has served as an independent director since 1991, and as our independent Chairman since 2007. In that capacity, Mr. Smith presides at all meetings of stockholders and of the Board, including executive sessions of the whole Board and of Executive Sessions The Board and its committees regularly meet in executive session with and without the CEO present. No formal action of the Board is taken at executive sessions, although the independent directors may subsequently recommend matters for consideration by the full Board. The independent directors discuss, among other things, priorities for upcoming sessions, considerations for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the performance evaluation of that Ms. Connly is independent under NASDAQ listing rules, and that she does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. the independent directors. Mr. Smith’s other duties include, but are not limited to, calling meetings of independent directors; advising the CEO of matters discussed in executive sessions when appropriate, andappropriate; approving Board agenda items. We believe that separatingitems, in collaboration with the positionsCEO; acting as a liaison between management and the Board; approving information sent to the Board; approving Board and committee meeting schedules; working with the Nominating and Governance Committee with respect to recruitment, selection and orientation of Chairmannew Board members as well as coordinating the Board’s self-assessment and evaluation processes; working with the Compensation Committee on succession and talent development plans for the CEO allows our CEOand other key senior executives, as well as director succession and development plans; and, if requested by major stockholders, making himself available to focus on the strategic, operational, and financial matters necessary to operate Zebra’s business.them. Mr. Smith provides independent leadership that reflects his experience with Zebra and the operation and history of the Board.

Executive Sessions

Corporate Governance Stockholder Engagement The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the CompensationNominating and Governance Committee report regularly to the Board regarding their oversight roles, and the Board regularly discusses significant risks facing Zebra. Management categorizes identified risks for more efficient analysis as follows:

market risks include economic environment, competitive landscape, and currency/foreign exchange rates;
strategic risks include succession planning, corporate governance, and strategic vision;
operational risks include distribution, logistics, sales, and information technology (e.g., cybersecurity and business continuity);
financial risks include tax, accounting, information technology, and liquidity; and
legal and compliance risks include international trade, anti-bribery, product compliance, international laws and regulations, and litigation.

• market risks include geo-political, economic environment, competitive landscape, disruptive technologies and currency/ foreign exchange rates; • strategic risks include succession planning, corporate governance, human capital management, business continuity and strategic vision; • operational risks include procurement, manufacturing, logistics, distribution, sales, service execution and sustainability matters; • reporting risks include tax, accounting and financial reporting, liquidity, and risks surrounding information technology governance, infrastructure and application management; • security and privacy risks include cybersecurity, Zebra product and software security, data privacy and physical security; and • legal and compliance risks include international trade, antibribery, product compliance, international laws and regulations and litigation. Management assesses identified risks that may be controlled by looking at the potential impact on Zebra, the likelihood of occurrence and Zebra’s level of risk exposure. Management cannot control market risks like general economic conditions, but these risks are evaluated against Zebra’s activities to manage our exposure.

Risks arising out of Zebra’s compensation policies and practices may, depending on the actions or behavior encouraged, be categorized as strategic, operational, financial,reporting, security and privacy or legal and compliance risks. Management conducts an annual assessment of the risks arising out of Zebra’s compensation policies and practices. Management reviewedreviews each significant element of compensation for the purpose of determining whether that element — includingelement-including any related performance goals and targets — targets—encourages identifiable risk-taking behavior and whether any identified risks could have a material adverse effect on Zebra. As part of this review, management considers whether our compensation plan is designed to mitigate or cap risk, including features such as compensation caps under the Zebra Incentive Plan. In February and March 2017,2019, management reviewed base salaries, the 20172019 Zebra Incentive Plan and equity awards granted under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan and 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Based on this review, management prepared a report and discussed with the Compensation Committee its determination that our policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Zebra. Stockholder Engagement Our stockholders’ insights and feedback are important elements of our Board and management team’s decision-making process. In 2019, as part of our efforts to continuously improve our governance practices, we implemented a targeted stockholder engagement program to obtain a better understanding of our stockholders’ perceptions of our business strategy, governance, compensation and sustainability practices. Members of our senior management and Board met with stockholders who in the aggregate hold approximately 47% of our shares outstanding. Of the stockholders who accepted our engagement invitation, we discussed our governance practices, executive compensation practices and our corporate social responsibilities initiatives. Investors were supportive of our compensation structure and its alignment with our long-term strategy. We discussed the evolution of our governance practices with the growth of the Company as well as Board composition generally, including diversity and refreshment. Our investors expressed an understanding and appreciation that Zebra was in the early stages of its corporate social responsibility reporting and provided suggestions on reporting frameworks and disclosure. Through our engagement efforts, we were able to gain valuable feedback that has helped to inform our business practices and strategic decision making. All feedback was reviewed and discussed with the full Board. We intend to continue our stockholder outreach program with the goal of continuing to evolve our practices to best meet the needs of the Company and its stakeholders.

Our executive compensation program includes four components: base salary, annual incentive, long-term equity incentive and employee benefits. Each component serves a particular purpose, so each is considered independently, but the four components combined provide a holistic total executive compensation approach. The Compensation Committee does not follow a pre-establishedpreestablished formula to allocate total compensation among the various pay components.

For 2017,2019, the Compensation Committee determined each Named Executive Officer’s compensation levelslevel by reviewing market data for each individual compensation component. Base salary, annual incentive and long-term equity incentive compensation for our Named Executive Officers are targeted at market median when target performance goals are achieved. (For more information on market comparisons, see “Our Compensation Approach” below.) Actual compensation awarded varies based upon the attainment of financial and individual performance goals, as well as each executive’sExecutive’s position, responsibilities and overall experience. (For more information on individual performance goals, see “Performance Management Process and Individual Adjustments” below.) We award superioralign pay with performance, paying above target when Zebra surpasses target performance goals or an executive’sExecutive’s individual performance exceeds expectations.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis Our Compensation Approach Role of Our Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists entirely of independent directors, none of whom have ever been employed by Zebra. As further described above under “Committees of the Board,” the Compensation Committee assists the Board by overseeing Zebra’s compensation and benefit programs, particularly as those programs apply to our Named Executive Officers and non-employee directors. With input from the CEO, the Compensation Committee makes final decisions regarding all aspects of compensation for our Named Executive Officers other than the CEO. The Compensation Committee recommends a compensation package and the related performance targets for the CEO for final approval by all of the independent directors.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson (WTW)(“WTW”) as its independent executive compensation consultant for 2017.2019. In that capacity, WTW provided competitive peer group and executive compensation data, analysis and guidance to help the Compensation Committee:

establish a peer group;

use benchmark compensation surveys;

develop the design of our executive compensation program;

set executive officer and non-employee director compensation; and

review performance and determine payouts with respect to performance-based awards.

• establish a peer group; • set Executive Officer and non-employee director compensation; • use benchmark compensation surveys; and • develop the design of our executive compensation program; • review performance and determine payouts with respect to performance-based awards. In 2019, we paid WTW $210,223 in fees related to recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation, and $382,328 in additional fees primarily related to services provided to assist Zebra with its Inclusion and Diversity initiatives and other talent and human capital projects. The determination to engage WTW for its additional services was recommended by management and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee annually assesses WTW’s independence pursuant to relevant SEC and NASDAQ rules. To that end, the Compensation Committee received a letter from WTW addressing the firm’sFirm’s independence and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent WTW from providing independent advice.

Our Compensation Approach

In designing and implementing our total compensation program for 2017,2019, we were guided primarily by market compensation data of a peer group of comparable publicly-tradedpublicly traded companies and from broad-based surveys.

How We Establish the Peer Group

In July 2016,August 2018, the Compensation Committee asked WTW the committee’s independent compensation consultant, to review Zebra’s peer group and to make recommendations regarding changes. In response, WTW compiled data on the financial performance of eighteen publicly-traded16 publicly traded companies WTW viewed as comparable to Zebra, including all of the companies in the peer group used for 20162018 executive compensation. In compiling the recommended peer group, WTW used the following methodology:

Zebra’s 2015 Peer Group – review of the 2015 Zebra peer group for overall reasonableness and relevance;

Industry Classification Research – review of all U.S.-based publicly-listed companies within the Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS) for the Technology Hardware and Equipment, Software and Services and Healthcare Equipment and Services; and

Peers-of-Peers Analysis – review of companies that are disclosed as peers to companies in Zebra’s peer group.

• Zebra’s 2018 ISS Peer Group - review of the 2018 Zebra peer group for overall reasonableness and relevance; • Industry Classification Research - review of all U.S.based publicly-listed companies within the Global Industry Classification Standards (“GICS”) for the Technology Hardware and Equipment, Software and Services and Healthcare Equipment and Services; and • Peers-of-Peers Analysis - review of companies that are disclosed as peers to companies in Zebra’s peer group. The Compensation Committee then reviewed the following company–specificcompany-specific information provided by WTW for the proposed peer group:

complexity and business model, including industry, cost structure, and geographic reach;

size, primarily in terms of revenue (all 18 companies had 2016 revenue of between 50% and 200% of Zebra’s 2015 revenue of $3.65 billion);

whether the proposed peer group member competes with Zebra for executive talent;

investor profile (i.e., whether the proposed peer group member is considered a reasonable investment alternative and attracts investors with similar risk/return expectations);

market capitalization; and

whether the proposed peer group member creates products of a technical nature.

• complexity and business model, including industry, cost structure, business models and levels of complexity; • size, primarily in terms of revenue (all 16 companies had 2017 revenue of between 50% and 200% of Zebra’s 2017 revenue of $3.72 billion); • whether the proposed peer group member competes with Zebra for executive talent; • investor profile (i.e., whether the proposed peer group member is considered a reasonable investment alternative and attracts investors with similar risk/return expectations); • market capitalization; and • whether the proposed peer group member creates products of a technical nature. In addition to reviewing this data, the Compensation Committee also considered whether potential peer companies regard Zebra as a peer.

For 2017,2019, WTW recommended adding three companies toremoving one company from the 2016 peer group. Thegroup used in 2018. As a result, the Compensation Committee agreed to two of those additions (Agilent Technologies and Insight Enterprises),remove Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and approved the companies shown below as the peer group for purposes of evaluating and determining 20172019 executive compensation.

Target Awards

The 20172019 Zebra Incentive Plan (“ZIP”) providedprovides for an annual cash incentive award based on the achievement of pre-determined financial performance goals. All five Named Executive Officers participated in the ZIP.

For each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of Mr. Gustafsson, the Board) establishes a target annual cash incentive award, which is set as a percentage of base salary. The Compensation Committee discussed each executive’sExecutive’s performance with Mr. Gustafsson and compared each executive’sExecutive’s target annual incentive — both the percentage of base salary and the absolute dollar amount — to the market. Mr. Gustafsson recommended that the Compensation Committee approve annual increases in the target annual cash incentive awards of three of the other Named Executive Officers. After considering Mr. Gustafsson’s recommendations, the Compensation Committee approved increases in the target annual cash incentive award for two Named Executive Officers.

Performance Management Process and Individual Adjustments

The amounts the Named Executive Officers would earn based on payout percentage shown above can be modified by the Board (for Mr. Gustafsson) or the Compensation Committee (for the other Named Executive Officers) due to performance against individual goals. When establishing those goals and determining compensation levels for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee looks to our annual performance management process and the results of our annual talent management review.

Each year, Mr. Gustafsson presents an overall talent management review to the Board, discussing the past performance and future potential of each executive officerExecutive Officer and certain of their direct reports. This review includes a discussion of key skills, competencies, developmental opportunities and succession plans.

In determining the 20172019 individual performance goals, the Compensation Committee (and the Board for Mr. Gustafsson) considered each Named Executive Officer’s prior performance and Zebra’s expectations for the business initiatives under each executive’sExecutive’s purview. Performance evaluations also may take into account factors such as satisfaction of daily responsibilities, particular or general contributions to Zebra’s overall management and whether the executiveNamed Executive Officer exhibits Zebra’s corporate values.

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statement27 

A Named Executive Officer’s annual incentive payout will not be adjusted if the executiveExecutive meets expectations for the individual goals. These payouts may be reduced if an executivea Named Executive Officer fails to meet expectations, or increased—though not above a maximum 200% of target award payout—if the executiveNamed Executive Offcer exceeds expectations. The Compensation Committee (and the Board for Mr. Gustafsson) conducted final evaluations for 20172019 in early 2018,2020, and determined no adjustments were necessary.

Form of Awards

The Compensation Committee believes it is important that all of our executive officersExecutive Officers are motivated to create stockholder value over a long-term investment horizon. To that end, Zebra granted three forms of long-term equity to the Named Executive Officers:

1.time-vested stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), which vest ratably over four years;

2.time-vested restricted stock, which cliff vests after three years; and

3.performance-vested restricted stock, which is earned (or not) based on Zebra’s results on two financial measures during and over a three-year performance period and cliff vests three years after grant.

These equity awards, which are described in more detail below, were divided as follows (based on the value of the equity award grant) for 2017:

Target Awards

Each year the Compensation Committee sets long-term equity awards with a target value at the grant date for the Named Executive OfficersOffcers other than the CEO. In March 2017,2019, utilizing the market median data information for executive officersExecutive Officers as a guide, Mr. Gustafsson made recommendations for these awards, which the Compensation Committee considered.

The Board establishes Mr. Gustafsson’s target annual long-termlongterm equity award after hearing the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. To formulate that recommendation for 2017,2019, the Compensation Committee consulted with WTW and considered factors similar to those considered when determining target equity awards for the other Named Executive Officers. TheBased on the Company’s strong performance over a sustained period of time, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, a 20172019 equity award to Mr. Gustafsson having

a total value at grant date equal to $5,000,000.$7,500,000. This represented a grant date value equal tothat was 36% above the consensus median target long-term incentive award for individuals in the CEO position, and was an increase from Mr. Gustafsson’s 20162018 grant date value of $4,200,000,$6,000,000, which was belowalso above the consensus median.

The 20172019 long-term incentive awards to the Named Executive Officers were granted effective May 11, 2017.2, 2019. When calculating the number of shares of performance-vested restricted stock and time-vested restricted stock, the actual number of shares was set by dividing the value of the equity award grant by $98.87,$205.12, the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to the grant date, without a reduction for the restricted nature of the shares. For time-vested SARs, the actual number of SARs is set by dividing the value of the equity award grant by the binomial value of a SAR.

The performance-vested restricted stock awards granted in 20172019 will vest on May 11, 2020.2, 2022. These equity awards have a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2019,31,2021, and a payout based on two performance metrics:

compound average growth (“CAGR”) in net sales (weighted 60%), and

adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margin (weighted 40%).

• compound average growth (“CAGR”) in net sales (weighted 60%), and • adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margin (weighted 40%). The adjusted EBITDA margin performance goal encourages executives to focus on long-term profitable sales growth for Zebra’s business while meeting or exceeding a target adjusted EBITDA margin percentage that we believe will create value for our stockholders. The net sales CAGR metric was included to grow Zebra’s revenue consistently over a three-year period.

For each of these metrics, the Compensation Committee set three annual goals (for 2017, 2018,2019, 2020 and 2019)2021) and a cumulative three-year goal. The Named Executive Officers may earn shares based on Zebra’s results for each of the three years in the performance period, or based on Zebra’s results as of the end of the performance period, whichever is greater.

Consistent with recent annual equity grant award terms, the Compensation Committee determined that the 20172019 SAR awards for all of the Named Executive Officers will vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The base price of the 20172019 SARs is $98.87,$205.12, the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to the grant date. Once SARs vest, the holder can choose when to exercise them by converting them to cash. Each vested SAR is worth the closing price of Zebra’s stock on the exercise date, minus the base price.

Until recently, the term of Zebra’s SAR awards was ten years. However, in 2017 the Board adopted a shorter term of seven years. When the SARs granted in 20172019 vest, the Named Executive Officers may exercise them any time before they expire on May 11, 2024.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis Stockholders Approve Compensation of Zebra’s Named Executive Officers (Say on Pay)

(Say-on-Pay) Stockholders Approve Compensation of Zebra’s Named Executive Officers (Say-on-Pay) Zebra holds an annual stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. At our 20172019 Annual Meeting, the say-on-pay proposal regarding 20162018 compensation was approved by 96.6%97.20% of the votes cast. TheAfter considering a number of factors, including the approval of the say-on-pay vote, the Compensation Committee discussed these favorable results and determined that no changes to our compensation philosophy or strategy were immediately required. Nevertheless, our Board, Compensation Committee, and executive officers regularly consider changes to our total rewards program to ensure it remains aligned with Zebra’s business strategy and stockholder expectations.

Employee Benefits

Zebra’s employee benefits are designed to align generally with the market median for such programs.

Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in various benefit programs offered generally to Zebra’s U.S. salaried employees, such as our health plans and group disability and life insurance plans. We provide a 401(k) plan to eligible employees with a companyCompany match, as well as a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees with immediately required. The Compensation Committee made the decision to add the EAI Index to our performance metrics for strategic business purposes to drive Zebra’s long-term strategic goals. Our Board, Compensation Committee and Executive Officers regularly consider changes to our total rewards program to ensure it remains aligned with Zebra’s business strategy and stockholder expectations. no companyCompany contributions. We do not provide other long-term compensation plans, supplemental executive retirement plans or a defined benefit pension plan. We havedo not historically providedprovide any perquisites.

Zebra provides a supplemental executive disability policy to replace the difference between what the group disability policy provides and the 60% earnings replacement cap under the group policy. Zebra pays for this coverage and reimburses covered executives to the extent they are taxed on this benefit.

Our Executive Officer Employment Agreements

Each executive officerExecutive Officer has an employment agreement that addresses matters such as compensation and termination of employment and includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. These agreements are discussed in more detail under “Executive Compensation - Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment Agreements.or Change in Control.” We believe that having employment agreements helps us attract effective and high-potential executive officers by providing them a minimum level of total compensation.

The employment agreements provide appropriate assurance for executivesExecutives concerned about a potential termination of employment in connection with a change in control. Specifically, we believe the severance amounts reflected under “Executive Compensation – Potential-Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control” are fair and reasonable in order to allow the Named Executive Officers to transition from Zebra with minimal disruption to our overall business. Moreover, we believe that, in the event of a change in control, these severance payments will help secure the continued employment and dedication of our executive officers,Executive Officers, notwithstanding any concern they may have regarding their own employment.

The components of total compensation reflected in the employment agreements are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee as described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.CD&A. All other provisions of the employment agreements are established when an employee is appointed as an executive officer,Executive Officer, and are reviewed and updated on an as-needed basis.

We believe the non-compete or non-solicitation provisions, where applicable, align with our desire to protect Zebra and our stockholders from negative actions that could be caused by an executive officerExecutive Officer who joins a competitor or otherwise engages in activities that could result in competitive harm to Zebra or our customers.

Tax Effects

Prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provided that compensation paid to NamedZebra’s equity agreements with its Executive Officers (other than our chief financial officer) in excessare subject to Zebra’s Clawback Policy and contain restrictive covenant provisions that also contain clawback provisions for violation of $1 million could not be deducted for federal income tax purposes unless such compensation is performance-based, is established by an independent committee of directors, is objective, and is awarded under a plan or agreement that has been approved in advance by our stockholders. When the Compensation Committee made compensation decisions for 2017, the compensation was structured to take advantage of the performance-based compensation exemption under Section 162(m) to the extent practicable, while satisfying Zebra’s compensation policies and objectives. However, it is now uncertain whether compensation that the Compensation Committee intended to structure as performance-based under Section 162(m) will be deductible.covenants. 46 Zebra is currently working with its advisors to make such determination. With the repeal of certain sections of Section 162(m) pursuant to the Tax Act, the Compensation Committee should retain maximum flexibility in designing compensation programs that are in the best interests of Zebra and its stockholders. Technologies Corporation I 2020 Proxy Statement www.zebra.com

Executive Compensation CEO Pay Ratio

CEO Pay Ratio Identification of Median Employee

To identify the median employee, we used a valid statistical sampling method. We selected a median pool of employees from the overall population, including the identified median employee.

We compiled a list of all full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal employees who were employed on November 1, 2017,1,2017, including employees working inside and outside the United States, but excluding Mr. Gustafsson, who served as CEO for all of 2017. As permitted according to SEC guidance, we determined the median pool of employees based on a consistently applied compensation measure, which was target total cash compensation. We define target total cash compensation as base wages and annual incentives at target payable in cash during 2017.

On November 1, 20171,2017 Zebra had 7,161 employees worldwide. Under the five percent de minimis exception established by the SEC, the countries and applicable number of employees that were excluded are as follows:

Mr. Gustafsson’s annual total compensation, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $7,791,579.
Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Gustafsson to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 110 to 1.

the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 152.33 to 1. Our methodology may differ materially from the methodology used by other companies to prepare their CEO pay ratio, which may contribute to a lack of comparability between our pay ratio and the pay ratio reported by other companies, including those within our industry or peer group.

Proposal 3 Approval of Our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Board of Directors is asking our stockholders to Contents

Proposal 3  Approval of 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan

We believe that stock-based incentive compensationapprove the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) at the Annual Meeting. If approved by stockholders, the ESPP would replace the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 ESPP”) which, by its terms, is integralscheduled to our compensation program. Stock-based compensation links employee interests with stockholder interests throughout our organization and motivatesterminate as of June 30, 2021. Currently, our employees are permitted to actpurchase Zebra’s Class A Common Stock (“common stock”) through payroll dedications at the end of consecutive, non-overlapping quarterly offering periods. As of March 20, 2020, approximately 768,095 shares were available for issuance under the 2011 ESPP. It is anticipated that employees will continue to participate in the 2011 ESPP through and including June 30, 2020, and, if approved by stockholders, the ESPP would become effective as ownersof July 1, 2020. General The purpose of the business and focus on its long-term success. Such compensation also advancesESPP is to promote the interestsoverall financial objectives of Zebra and its stockholders by rewarding personnel for theirmotivating employees to achieve long-term contributionsgrowth in stockholders’ equity in the Company. The ESPP will promote employee stock ownership in Zebra through the grant of options to purchase shares of Zebra’s financialcommon stock. The ESPP is intended to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” under Zebra embraces a culture of stock ownership to incentivize our employees to further the Company’s success and motivating them to continue to make such contributionsachieve Zebra’s strategic goals, as evidenced by our robust Stock Ownership Guidelines, further discussed under Stock Ownership Guidelines on page 22, and our performance vested and time vested equity awards, further discussed in the future. Annually, Zebra grants equity awards to employees at the director levelCompensation Discussion and above, or approximately 7% of its employees. In addition, Zebra grants equity awards to employees up to senior managersAnalysis on a discretionary basis. 

The Board of Directors has approved and asks our stockholders to approve the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) at the annual meeting. If approved by stockholders, the LTIP will become effective on the date of stockholder approval. In the event that the Plan is not approved by the stockholders, the LTIP would be null and void. The Plan would supersede and replace the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2015 Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”), except that the Prior Plan would remain in effect with respect to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan until those awards have been exercised or otherwise terminated. As of March 1, 2018, 1,394,560 shares were available for new awards under the Prior Plan and awards with respect to 1,119,225 shares were outstanding. 

If stockholders approve the LTIP, no additional grants will be made under the Prior Plan after the date of stockholder approval and any shares then available for new awards under the Prior Plan will no longer be available under the Prior Plan or the LTIP.page 34. The Board believes the LTIPESPP is in the best interests of Zebra because it links long-term incentive compensationserves to align the interests of employees and Zebra’s financial performancestockholders, and the ESPP will enable Zebra to attract, retain, motivate and reward key personnel.its employees. The Board approvedadopted the LTIPESPP on March 7, 20186, 2020 after receiving the recommendation of our Compensation Committee to approve the LTIP. The LTIP would become effective upon obtaining stockholder approval. 

Burn Rate and Dilution

Based on 3,800,000 shares available under the LTIP, we do not believe the LTIP will result in excessive burn rate or dilution to stockholders. We manage our burn rate and long-term stockholder dilution by limiting the number of equity incentive awards granted annually. Management and our Compensation Committee carefully monitor our share dilution and equity expense by granting only the appropriate fair value of equity incentive awards that it believes are necessary to attract, reward and retain employees. 

Our historical burn rate has been below the Burn Rate Cap established by Institutional Shareholder Services for our General Industry Classification (Technology and Hardware). The following table sets forth information regarding historical awards granted and earned for the 2015 through 2017 period, and the corresponding burn rate, which is defined as the number of shares subject to equity-based awards granted in a year divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for that year, for eachESPP. Section 423 of the last three fiscal years. 

 201720162015

Annual Adjusted Burn Rate1.52%3.16%1.85%
Three-Year Average Burn Rate 2.18% 
ISS Burn Rate Cap for GICS Code 4520 6.16% 

We believe that our Three-Year Average Burn Rate is reasonable in light of the increase in the size of Zebra from $1.038 billion in revenue in 2013 to over $3.7 billion in 2017, the increase in our total employee population from approximately 2,500 in 2014 to approximately 7,000 today, and in turn the increase in the number of employees eligible for stock-based compensation, resulting from our acquisition of the Enterprise solutions business from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in October 2014.

Similarly, any dilution resulting from the LTIP is reasonable and not excessive. Zebra’s dilution is 12.23% on basic dilution and 10.90% on full dilution. We define dilution as shares which are not subject to outstanding equity awards, plus issued and outstanding shares under the Prior Plan (i.e., performance and time vested restricted stock awards) and plus shares available under the LTIP, the Prior Plan and the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In addition to achieving the objectives stated above about our compensation program and philosophies, the LTIP would provide Zebra with the flexibility to continue making stock-based grants over at least the next three to four years in amounts determined appropriate byCode (such offerings “Section 423 Offering”); however, the Compensation Committee and alignedmay also authorize offerings under the ESPP that are not intended to peer group benchmarking.

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statement45 

Purpose

The purposecomply with the requirements of Section 423 of the LTIP is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract and retain the best qualified personnel to perform services for the Company, by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the company, by aligning their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders, and by rewarding such persons for their services by tying a portion of their total compensation package to the success of the Company. 

Under the LTIP, we may grant non-qualified options to purchase shares of Zebra’s common stock, “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of theU.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, performance shares, and performance units. 

Approximately 471 officers, other employees, non-employee directors and consultants are eligible to participate in the LTIP. The closing price of Zebra’s common stock on March 23, 2018, was $136.35.

(i)whether an option is an incentive stock option or non-qualified stock option,
(ii)the number of shares subject to the option and the purchase price per share, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant,
(iii)the period during which the option may be exercised, which may not be later than ten years after the date of grant in the case of an incentive stock option,
(iv)whether such option is exercisable in whole or in part,
(v)whether the option may be exercised by paying cash or delivering previously owned shares, and
(vi)whether the option is subject to specified performance goals during an applicable performance period.
Incentive Stock OptionsEach incentive stock option will be exercisable for no more than ten years after its date of grant, unless the option holder owns greater than ten percent of the voting power of all shares of our capital stock (a “ten percent holder”), in which case the option will be exercisable for no more than five years after its date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on its date of grant, unless the option holder is a ten percent holder, in which case the option exercise price will be the price required by the Code, currently 110% of fair market value. Subject to the requirements of the Code, all of the terms relating to the exercise or cancellation of an incentive stock option (and tandem SAR) upon a termination of employment, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, will be determined by the Compensation Committee.
Stock Appreciation RightsA SAR entitles the holder to receive, upon exercise, shares (which may be restricted stock or RSUs), cash or a combination thereof with an aggregate value equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share on the date of exercise over the grant price of such SAR. The Compensation Committee will determine:
(i)the number of SARs subject to the award and the grant price of the SAR, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant,
(ii)the period during which the SAR may be exercised,
(iii)whether the SAR is exercisable in whole or in part,
(iv)whether the SAR may be exercised for shares (including restricted stock or RSUs), cash or a combination thereof, and
(v)whether the SAR is subject to specified performance goals during an applicable performance period.
No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation RightsSubject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization or similar event, the terms of an outstanding option or SAR may not be amended to reduce the exercise price or grant price, and no option or SAR may be canceled in exchange for cash, other awards or options or SARs with an exercise price or grant price that is less than the exercise price or grant price of the original option or SAR without the approval of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively by stockholders at a meeting in which the reduction of such exercise price or grant price, or the cancellation and regranting of an award, is considered for approval.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit AwardsThe LTIP provides for the grant of (1) stock awards which may be subject to a restriction period (“restricted stock”) and (2) RSU awards, which are rights to receive a share, or an equivalent cash value, that is subject to a restriction period. An award of restricted stock or RSUs may be subject to specified performance goals during an applicable performance period. The Compensation Committee will determine:
(i)whether an award will be in restricted stock or RSUs,
(ii)the number of shares or RSUs subject to the award,
(iii)the length of the restriction period, and
(iv)the performance goals, if any (e.g., net sales and cash flows).
Unless otherwise set forth in the award agreement, the holder of a restricted stock award (but not an RSU award) will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends with respect to the shares of restricted stock.

Performance Awards,

Performance Units and
Performance Share Awards

The LTIP also provides for the grant of performance awards, performance unit awards and performance share awards. A performance award is a right, contingent upon the attainment of performance goals within a performance period, to receive an amount in cash that has an initial value specified in the award agreement. A performance unit award is a right, contingent upon the attainment of performance goals within a performance period, to receive an amount that has an initial value equal to the fair market value of a share on the grant date, which amount may be paid in a share (which may be restricted stock or an RSU), or in lieu of all or a portion thereof, the fair market value of a share in cash. A performance share award is a right, contingent upon the attainment of performance goals within a performance period, to receive one share (which may be restricted stock or an RSU), or in lieu of all or a portion thereof, the fair market value of a share in cash.
Prior to the settlement of a performance unit award or performance share award in shares of common stock, the holder of the award will have no rights as a stockholder of Zebra with respect to the shares of common stock subject to the award. The Compensation Committee will determine:
(i)the initial cash value, or number of performance units or shares subject to the award,
(ii)the performance goals,
(iii)the length of the performance period, and
(iv)whether the performance units or performance shares may be settled in shares, cash or a combination thereof.
Performance GoalsUnder the LTIP, the vesting or payment of performance awards, performance units, performance shares and certain awards of restricted stock or RSUs will be subject to the satisfaction of certain performance goals. The Compensation Committee will establish performance goals applicable to awards. Performance goals may include one or more of the following measurements: revenue; primary or fully-diluted earnings per share; EBITDA; pretax income; cash flows from operations; total cash flows; bookings; return on equity; return on invested capital; return on assets; net operating profits after taxes; economic value added; total stockholder return or return on sales; or any individual performance objective which is measured solely in terms of quantitative targets related to Zebra or Zebra’s business, or any combination thereof. Performance goals may be based on one or more business criteria, one or more business units or divisions of Zebra or the applicable sector, or Zebra as a whole, and comparison with a peer group of companies.
Non-Transferability of AwardsUnless otherwise specified in the agreement relating to an award, no award may be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by Zebra.

Restricted stock and RSUs – acceleration of a pro rata portion of the restricted stock and RSUs minus any restricted stock or RSUs that previously vested
Performance awards, performance units and performance shares – acceleration of a pro rata portion of the greater of a banked number of performance awards, performance units and performance shares and the number of performance awards, performance units and performance shares determined based on the vesting percentage determined under generally accepted accounting principles

Performance awards, performance units and performance shares – immediate forfeiture of any unvested awards, units or shares
Change in Control-DefinitionA change in control means:
(i)an acquisition by a person or group of 35% or more of the shares of common stock of Zebra (other than an acquisition directly from or by Zebra, by a Zebra benefit plan or certain reorganizations, merger or consolidations),
(ii)a change in a majority of the Board,
(iii)  the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Zebra’s assets (unless the stockholders receive 50% or more of the stock of the company resulting from such transaction and no person or group owns 35% or more of the shares after the transaction), or
(iv)a liquidation or dissolution of Zebra.

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statement49 

Effect of Change in Control-
Double Trigger v. Cash-out
If pursuant to a change in control stockholders receive consideration consisting solely of publicly traded common stock and outstanding options, SARs, restricted stock awards and RSU awards are assumed or provision is made for the continuation of outstanding options, SARs, restricted stock awards and RSU awards after the change in control, then all outstanding time-vested options, SARs, restricted stock awards and RSU awards will continue in accordance with their terms; provided, that if a holder’s employment with Zebra and its subsidiaries is terminated by the holder for good reason or by Zebra or any subsidiary without cause on or after the change in control, then all outstanding options and SARs held by the holder will become exercisable in full and, along with any then unexercised portions of such options and SARs, will remain exercisable through the remaining term of such options and SARs, and all outstanding restricted stock and RSU awards held by the holder will become fully vested. In addition, all outstanding performance-based awards will become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control, the performance goals will be deemed to be satisfied at the higher of the banked amount of awards, shares or units or the target number of awards, shares or units multiplied by the vesting percentage used by the Company when determining compensation expense under generally accepted accounting principles, and any options and SARs as to which a performance period lapses will remain exercisable through the remaining terms of the options and SARs.
All other changes in control would result in a cash-out of awards where each outstanding award will be surrendered to Zebra by the holder, and such award will immediately be canceled, and the holder will receive, within ten days of the occurrence of the change in control, a cash payment from Zebra (or any successor) in an amount equal to:
Option and Non-tandem SAR – the number of shares then subject to such option or SAR, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby the change in control takes place or (B) the fair market value of a share on the date of occurrence of the change in control, over the exercise price of the option or grant price of the SAR
Restricted stock award or RSU award – the number of shares or number of units, as the case may be, then subject to such award, multiplied by the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby the change in control takes place or (B) the fair market value of a share on the date of occurrence of the change in control
Performance awards, performance units, and performance shares – the higher of (A) the banked amount of awards, shares or units or (B) the target number of awards, shares or units multiplied by the vesting percentage used by the Company when determining compensation expense under generally accepted accounting principles multiplied by (2) the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to Zebra stockholders in any transaction whereby the change in control takes place or (B) the fair market value of a share on the date of occurrence of the change in control

Upon exercise of an incentive stock option, a participant will not recognize income (except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax).
If the shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are held for the longer of two years from the date the option was granted and one year from the date it was exercised, any gain or loss arising from a subsequent disposition of such shares will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss, and Zebra will not be entitled to any deduction. If, however, those shares are disposed of within such two-year period, then in the year of the disposition the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the excess of the lesser of (1) the amount realized upon the disposition and (2) the fair market value of those shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and Zebra will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any limitations on deductibility for “covered persons” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

In addition, a participant receiving dividends with respect to restricted stock prior to the time the restrictions lapse will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee), rather than dividend income, in an amount equal to the dividends paid and Zebra will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any limitations on deductibility for “covered persons” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

You may incur costs such as telephone and Internet access charges if you vote via the Internet. • by mail - If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote your shares by marking, dating and signing your proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. • in person at the Annual Meeting - If you choose not to vote by telephone, via the Internet or by mail, you may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. If you vote prior to the Annual Meeting, you may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. If you are a beneficial holder, the instructions that accompany your proxy materials will indicate whether you may vote by telephone, via the Internet or by mail. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must bring a legal proxy from the organization that holds the shares or a brokerage statement showing ownership of shares as of the close of business on the record date. CAN I REVOKE OR CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I SUBMIT MY PROXY? If you are the holder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted if you (1) submit a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary, (2) submit a later-dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary, (3) provide subsequent telephone or Internet voting instructions, or (4) vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote. WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED? Our Board has appointed Michael A. Steele and Cristen L. Kogl to serve as the proxies for the Annual Meeting. Mr. Steele is Vice President, Investor Relations, of Zebra. Ms. Kogl is Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, of Zebra. By giving us your proxy, you are authorizing the proxies to vote, jointly or individually, your shares in the manner you indicate. If you are a holder of record and you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted: • FOR the election of three Class III directors with terms to expire in 2023 (Proposal 1); • FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal 2); • FOR the approval of our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal 3); • FOR ratification of the appointment by our Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2020 (Proposal 4); and • In the discretion of the named proxies regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide the broker or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, the broker or other nominee will determine if he or she has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under the NYSE’s rules, brokers and other nominees have the discretion to vote on routine matters such as Proposal 4, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters such as Proposals 1,2 and 3. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your broker or other nominee may only vote your shares on Proposal 4 and any other routine matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM, AND WHY IS A QUORUM REQUIRED? A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. If stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Shares owned by Zebra are not voted and do not count for quorum purposes. On March 20, 2020, we had 53,064,991 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, meaning that 26,532,496 shares of Class A Common Stock must be represented in person or 35%by proxy to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum if you submit a proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will also count towards the quorum requirement. If there is not a quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date. To assure the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, and even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote your shares by toll-free telephone or via the Internet or, if you received your proxy materials by mail, complete, sign and date your proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF A BROKER NON-VOTE? Brokers or other nominees who hold shares of our Class A Common Stock for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Thus, a broker non-vote will not affect our ability to obtain a quorum. Broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of any proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. 72 Zebra Technologies Corporation I 2020 Proxy Statement www.zebra.com

Stockholder Proposals and Other Business Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting and These Proxy Materials WHAT IS THE VOTE REQUIRED FOR EACH PROPOSAL? Nominees for director are elected by a plurality of the votes cast; however, each nominee who is elected by a plurality vote who does not receive a majority vote will have his or her resignation from the Board considered in accordance with Zebra’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. A “majority vote” means that the number of votes cast in favor of a nominee must exceed the number of votes withheld with respect to that nominee. Zebra has a resignation process with respect to uncontested elections of directors if a nominee does not receive a majority vote for election to the Board. Prior to making these proxy materials available, each nominee for director submits a binding but contingent letter of resignation. If a nominee is then elected by a plurality vote but does not receive a majority vote, the nominee will have his or her resignation considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in light of the best interests of Zebra and its stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board concerning the acceptance or rejection of the resignation(s). In any contested election, nominees for director will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast without a contingent resignation to be considered by the Board conditioned on receipt of a majority vote. A “contested election” means an election of directors (i) for which the Corporate Secretary of Zebra has received a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with Zebra’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn at least five days prior to the date Zebra first makes these proxy materials available to stockholders. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes count as votes cast. Broker Discretionary Proposal Vote Required Voting Allowed Proposal 1 - Election of three Class III directors with terms to expire in 2023 Plurality of votes cast with resignation process if majority vote not achieved No Proposal 2 - Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation Majority of the votes cast for or against No Proposal 3 - Approval of our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan Majority of the votes cast for or against No Proposal 4 - Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2020 Majority of the votes cast for or against Yes With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR all nominees, WITHHOLD your vote as to all nominees, or vote FOR all nominees except those specific nominees from whom you WITHHOLD your vote. The three nominees receiving the most FOR votes will be elected. A properly executed proxy that is marked WITHHOLD with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated. Proxies may not be voted for more than three nominees for director and stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. With respect to Proposals 2, 3 and 4, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN from voting on any of these proposals, your abstention will not affect the vote on the proposal since the proposal requires approval of a majority of the votes cast for or against. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ANNUAL MEETING IS ADJOURNED OR POSTPONED? Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the rescheduled Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted. WHO IS PAYING FOR THE COSTS OF THIS PROXY SOLICITATION? We will bear the expense of soliciting proxies. We have retained Alliance Advisors LLC to solicit proxies for a fee of $17,000 plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronically by Zebra personnel who will not receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Copies of proxy materials and the Annual Report will be supplied to brokers and other nominees for the purpose of soliciting proxies from beneficial owners, and we will reimburse such brokers or other nominees for their reasonable expenses. HOW CAN I FIND THE RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING? Preliminary results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Results also will be published in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

In the absence of any such

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statement67 

designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

9.5.No Guarantee of Employment or Service or Right to Participate. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of Zebra to terminate any Participant’s employment or consulting arrangement at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of or consulting arrangement with Zebra or any Subsidiary. Temporary absence from employment because of illness, vacation, approved leaves of absence, and transfers of employment among Zebra and its Subsidiaries, shall not be considered to terminate employment or to interrupt continuous employment.

Subject to the preceding sentence, the Committee may waive or modify any term of an Award to the extent that the terms of the Award Agreement, taking the waiver or modification into account, would have been permissible if included in the original Award Agreement, but shall have no authority to waive or modify any other Award term after the Award has been granted to the extent that the waived or modified term was mandatory under the Plan.
9.10.Tax Withholding. Zebra shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to Zebra, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan.

Zebra TechnologiesCorporation|2018 Proxy Statement69 

such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of Zebra;provided,however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash, Shares, other Awards or other property, or make other arrangements to meet Zebra’s obligations under the Plan. Such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant.

Unless otherwise determined by Zebra, in the event of a forfeiture of an Award with respect to which a Participant paid cash consideration, the Participant shall be repaid the amount of such cash consideration. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. Zebra shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
9.13.No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Committee may modify the terms of any Award made to or held by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions, applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States. An Award may be modified under this Section in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified.
9.15.Successors.All obligations of Zebra under the Plan with respect to Awards shall be binding on any successor to Zebra, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Zebra or otherwise.

Exhibit A Zebra Technologies Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Effective July 1,2020) of the Participant under this Section 6.4 shall be subject 6.6 to the approval of the Committee. The amount of required withholding shall, at the election of the Participant, be at a specified rate not less than the statutory minimum federal and state withholding rate and not greater than the maximum federal, state and local marginal tax rate applicable to the Participant and to the particular option exercise transaction. 6.5 No Company Obligation. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to affirmatively disclose to a record or beneficial holder of an Option, and such holder shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the exercise of an Option. Committee Discretion. The Committee may in its sole discretion include in any Agreement an obligation that the Company purchase a Participant’s shares of Class A Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Option (including the repurchase of any unexercised Options which have not expired), or may obligate a Participant to sell shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine and set forth in an Agreement. The provisions of this Article VI shall be construed by the Committee in its sole discretion, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time determine. Article VII Miscellaneous 7.1 Indemnification of the Board and Committee. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have and to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Board, the Committee, the members of the Committee, the officers of the Company, and any agent or representative selected by the Board or Committee (collectively “indemnified party”) against the reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or any threat thereof, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any act or omission in connection with the Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such indemnified party is liable for gross negligence or gross misconduct in the performance of his duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding the indemnified party may in writing elect to defend the same at its sole expense, and if such election is made, the Company shall have no further liability or obligations to the indemnified party under this Section. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall in no way limit any other obligation or arrangements the Company may have with regard to indemnifying an indemnified party. 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.2 Mitigation of Excise Tax. If any payment or right accruing to a Participant under this Plan (without the application of this Section 7.2), either alone or together with other payments or rights accruing to the Participant from the Company (“Total Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and regulations thereunder), such payment or right shall be reduced to the largest amount or greatest right that will result in no portion of the amount payable or right accruing under the Plan being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or being disallowed as a deduction under Section 280G of the Code. The determination of whether any reduction in the rights or payments under this Plan is to apply shall be made by the Committee in good faith after consultation with the Participant, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant. The Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the Committee in making such determination and providing the necessary information for this purpose. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2 shall apply with respect to any person only if after reduction for any applicable federal excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and federal income tax imposed by the Code, the Total Payments accruing to such person would be less than the amount of the Total Payments as reduced, if applicable, under the foregoing provisions of the Plan and after reduction for only federal income taxes. Interpretation. Whenever necessary or appropriate in this Plan and where the context so requires, the singular term and the related pronouns shall include the plural and the masculine and feminine gender.

Exhibit A Zebra Technologies Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Effective July 1, 2020) 7.6 Validity. If any provision of this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 7.7 Assignment. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 7.8 Captions. The captions and headings to this Plan are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or the intent of this Plan or any part hereof, nor in any way affect this Plan or any part hereof. 7.9 Amendments. The Board of Directors may at any time amend, waive, discharge or terminate the Plan even with prejudice to a Participant. In addition, the Board may create and adopt supplements to this Plan in order to allow foreign Participants, provided such supplement does not cause the Plan to fail to be a plan as described in Section 423 of the Code. The Board or the Committee may amend, waive, discharge, terminate, modify, extend, replace or renew an outstanding Option Agreement, even with prejudice to a Participant, provided such a change does not cause the Plan to fail to be a plan as described in Section 423 of the Code. 7.10 Entire Agreement. This Plan and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Plan shall control. 7.11 Rights with Respect to Continuance of Employment. Nothing contained herein or in an Agreement shall be deemed to alter the at-will employment relationship between the Company or a Subsidiary and a Participant. Nothing contained herein or in an Agreement shall be construed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company or a Subsidiary and a Participant. The Company or, as applicable, the Subsidiary and the Participant each continue to have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason. The company or Subsidiary shall have no obligation to retain the Participant in its employ as a result of this Plan. There shall be no inference as to the length of employment hereby, and the Company or Subsidiary reserves the same rights to terminate the Participant’s employment as existed prior to the individual becoming a Participant in this Plan. 7.12 Options for Shares in Substitution for Stock Options Granted by Other Corporations. Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options or stock appreciation rights held by employees, directors or service providers of other corporations who are about to become employees of the Company as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company, or the acquisition by the Company of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company of the stock of the employing corporation, as the result of which it becomes a designated employer under the Plan. The terms and conditions of the Options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan at the time of such grant as the majority of the members of the Committee may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the Options in substitution for which they are granted. 7.13 Procedure for Adoption. Any Subsidiary of the Company may by resolution of such Subsidiary’s board of directors, with the consent of the Board of Directors and subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the Board of Directors, adopt the Plan for the benefit of its employees as of the date specified in the board resolution. The Board shall have the power to make such designation before or after the Plan is approved by stockholders. 7.14 Procedure for Withdrawal. Any Subsidiary which has adopted the Plan may, by resolution of the board of directors of such Subsidiary, with the consent of the Board of Directors and subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the Board of Directors, terminate its adoption of the Plan; provided such termination of adoption does not cause the Plan to fail to be a plan described in Section 423 of the Code. 7.15 Expenses. Expenses of the Plan, including the fees or expenses incurred by the transfer agent in connection with the transfer of Class A Common Stock and brokerage fees or expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Plan or transfer to the Participant, shall be charged to the Accounts of affected Participants or charged to the accretion to the amounts credited to any Account if the Participant is credited with such accretion regardless of the method of accounting for such accretion, except to the extent paid by the Company or otherwise accounted for by the Company. Any expense or fee associated with the Class A Common Stock, including, for example, custodian or brokerage fees after the Class A Common Stock is transferred to the Participant or for his account, or fees or commissions in connection with the disposition of shares, shall be borne by the Participant. 7.16 Code Section 409A; Tax Qualification. (a) Code Section 409A. Rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock granted under a Section 423 Offering are exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code and rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock granted under a Non-423 Offering are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to the “short-term deferral” exemption contained therein. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines that a right granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the Plan would cause a right under the Plan to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may 82 Zebra Technologies Corporation I 2020 Proxy Statement www.zebra.com

Exhibit A Zebra Technologies Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Effective July 1,2020) amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding Option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding Option or future right that may be granted under the Plan from, or to allow any such rights to comply with, Section 409A of the Code, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Committee would not violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto. The Company makes no representation that the right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with Section 409A of the Code. (b) Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify an Option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 7.16(a) hereof. The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.
