During 2022, the Company continued the evolution of its business and technology that had positive impacts on our clients, transportation providers and members. We also enhanced our senior leadership, resulting in an experienced team with a track record of operational excellence, including veteran leaders for our Mobility and Home businesses. The Board promoted L. Heath Sampson to President and Chief Executive Officer, Rebecca Orcutt to Chief Accounting Officer, and Kenneth Shepard to Chief Financial Officer of our Mobility business.

We reintroduced benefits to caregivers in 2022 which contributed to an increase in our caregiver satisfaction score, resulting in an increase in the number of caregivers.
Performance Highlights
The efforts of this talented leadership team during 2022 resulted in the Company continuing to produce strong financial results despite continuing COVID headwinds and a challenging macroeconomic environment. This strong financial performance is evidenced by the Company reporting substantial revenue growth in the last two years as compared to the two years prior, as well as sustained growth in Adjusted EBITDA* with a CAGR of 58% over the last four years, as demonstrated below.
Executive Compensation Highlights
ModivCare’s executive compensation philosophy is designed to attract, motivate and retain highly talented individuals by:

Proxy Statement SummaryTABLE OF CONTENTS
Diversity and Inclusion Highlights
Our employees reflect the communities in which we live and work, and the customers we serve, and they possess a broad range of thought and experiences that have helped us achieve our successes to date. A key component of our growth and success is our focus on inclusion and diversity. We believe this commitment allows us to better our understanding of patient and customer needs, and develop technologies and solutions to meet those needs. We have made progress in our workforce diversity representation, including having a majority of our team members who self-identify as an underrepresented minority, and we continue to seek to improve in this important area. We have established goals to continue improving our hiring, development, and retention of diverse employees and our overall diversity representation, including within our executive management team, in an effort to be a socially responsible community member. Impacts of the Company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives include:
A 10-member Board that includes two members who self-identify as a female and two members who self-identify as an underrepresented minority.
Company-wide leadership ranks (director and above) that consist of approximately 38% of individuals who self-identify as an underrepresented minority and approximately 42% who self-identify as female.
Further enhancement of the diversity of our executive team with the addition of Anne Bailey, President of ModivCare Home who self-identifies as female and Ilias Simpson, President of ModivCare Mobility who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority.
Formation of Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”), which are employee-led, experience-based groups of individuals that share a common interest in diversity topics such as race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, and sexual orientation/gender identity. In 2022, ERGs focused on Ability Awareness, Black and African Affinity, Female Empowerment, and Pride were founded. In 2023, we have formed additional ERGs, including Inclusive Hispanic Employees Leading People (I.H.E.L.P), One Asian American and Pacific Islanders (OneAAPI), and Veterans.
Environmental, Social and Governance Highlights
We are committed to furthering our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices which are intended to create value for our stockholders by building stakeholder trust, driving innovation, mitigating risk, fostering employee engagement, increasing productivity and reducing costs. As a mission-driven supportive care services company focused on addressing the social determinants of health, our ESG commitments are embedded in the supportive care services we provide every day to approximately 35 million members nationwide. While we are in the early stages of our ESG journey, we are committed to advancing our ESG practices as we focus on leveling the inequities in healthcare through our social determinants of health platform, whether by providing a ride to a healthcare appointment, assisting with activities of daily living or engaging with a member who has a health emergency. We believe that these critical services should be provided equitably nationwide, especially for the most vulnerable populations. We focus on ESG risks and opportunities that are believed to be the most relevant to our business and the most impactful to our stakeholders and the communities we serve. We have a goal that all of our team members strive to advance our ESG initiatives in their daily routines as we work to drive positive health outcomes by transforming how we connect people to care. We published our first ESG report for 2021-2022 in July 2022 to showcase the achievements we have made related to ESG.

Our 2021-2022 ESG Report is a testament to the work our team does to advance our initiatives and speaks to the momentum we have made toward establishing our ESG practices. We have aligned the content of this report to our sustainability framework, composed of the following four pillars:
Responsible Business PracticeHuman CapitalSocial ResponsibilityEnvironment

When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm or other organization has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. In circumstances when there are both routine matters and non-routine matters being considered at the same meeting, such as at our upcoming Annual Meeting, the record owner brokers or other organizations that do not receive specific voting instructions from their beneficial owners are “entitled to vote” on the routine matter but not “entitled to vote” on the non-routine matters. This circumstance results in a “broker non-vote” on each of the non-routine matters. Accordingly, it is particularly important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers or other organizations how they wish to vote their shares on all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

Approval of Proposal 2
Requires that the number of votes cast for each director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast against the election of each director nominee.

Proposal One: Approval of an Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify our Board
We are asking you to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board and provide for annual elections of directors, with the classified Board to be phased out over three years such that, commencing with the 2025 Annual Meeting, all directors will be elected to one-year terms (the “Certificate Amendment”). This proposal is a result of the Board’s ongoing review and consideration of the Company’s corporate governance policies, structure, and functioning, taking into account broader corporate governance trends, peer practices, and views and perspectives of our stakeholders.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In connection with this review of our corporate governance, our Board considered the advantages and disadvantages of either maintaining the classified board structure or declassifying our Board. On one hand, the advantages of maintaining the classified board structure include that a classified board may promote board continuity, encourage a long-term perspective by management and the Board, and provide protection against certain abusive takeover tactics. On the other hand, our Board understands that many investors believe that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company’s stockholders and that stockholders of public companies generally support shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors. Our Board believes the Certificate Amendment better aligns our governance with governance practices supported by the majority of our investors. Our Board also considered that if our Board is declassified, it would be easier for one or more stockholders holding a large number of shares, whether a long-term stockholder or one that accumulates a large position over a short period of time, to replace our entire Board at once. In addition, while our Board remains classified, directors can be removed only for cause, whereas directors elected to a board that is not classified can be removed with or without cause under Delaware law.
Based on the considerations described above, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate its classified board structure and provide for the annual election of each member of the Company’s Board as set forth in the Certificate Amendment, and to seek stockholder approval for such amendment, as required by Delaware law. Accordingly, the Board has unanimously adopted, approved, and declared advisable the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B, subject to the approval of our stockholders.
Description of the Certificate Amendment
The Company’s second amended and restated certificateSixth Article of incorporation, as amended,our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that the numberour Board of directors be between four and eleven, as determined by the Board. The BoardDirectors is divided into three classes approximately equal in size, serving staggered three year terms. Each class must be as nearly equal in size as possible. Atpracticable, composed of directors each serving terms of office of three years. As a result, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to theapproximately one-third of our directors whose terms will then expire will beare elected to serve for a three-year term. The current terms of our director classes expire as follows: Class 2—this 2023 Annual Meeting; Class 3—our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and Class 1—our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Certificate Amendment, if approved by our stockholders, would amend the Sixth Article to provide for the annual election of directors to one-year terms when their current terms expire, beginning with this year’s Annual Meeting, and the declassification of our Board would, as a result, be phased in over a period of three years as the remaining terms of our current directors are served.
Specifically, if the proposed Certificate Amendment is adopted, directors will begin to be elected on an annual basis as follows:
1.directors who are elected at this 2023 Annual Meeting will serve a one-year term and they, or their successors, will stand for election to a one-year term also at the 2024 Annual Meeting;
2.directors whose current terms expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting will stand for election to a one-year term at the 2024 Annual Meeting and each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter; and
3.directors whose current terms expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting will stand for election to a one-year term at the 2025 Annual Meeting and each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter.
Beginning with our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the declassification of our Board would be complete and all directors would be subject to annual election for one-year terms. If the proposed Certificate Amendment is adopted, any nominees appointed
10Modivcare 2023 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTSProposal One
to fill vacancies on the Board that occur following this 2023 Annual Meeting will be appointed for a term that coincides with the term to which such director is appointed or elected.
Our current Certificate of Incorporation also provides that our directors may only be removed for cause. Consistent with Delaware law, the Certificate Amendment also provides that from and after our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors may be removed either for or without cause. Prior to then, directors would continue to be removable only for cause.
Effect of Not Obtaining Stockholder Approval
If the timeCertificate Amendment does not receive stockholder approval, the Certificate Amendment will not be implemented, the Company’s current classified board structure will remain in place, and the four nominees to be elected as Class 2 directors pursuant to Proposal 2, if so elected, will serve for three-year terms that expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Related Bylaw Amendments
In connection with the Certificate Amendment, the Board has also approved conforming amendments to our Bylaws (the “Bylaw Amendment”) to remove provisions relating to the classified board to be effective upon the filing of their electionthe Certificate Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board’s approval of the Bylaw Amendment is conditioned upon the approval by stockholders of the Board’s proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board as set forth in this proposal. If the Certificate Amendment is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Bylaw Amendment will not take effect.
Additional Information
If stockholders approve the Certificate Amendment, we intend to file a certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware immediately following the vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting, and qualificationprior to the vote to elect directors pursuant to Proposal 2, and the Certificate Amendment will be in effect immediately upon filing so that if the Certificate Amendment is approved, it will be effective when the vote is taken to elect directors. In that event, with respect to Proposal 2, stockholders will be asked to elect four directors to our Board to serve for one-year terms until the third annual meeting following their election or2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until thetheir earlier of their death, resignation or removal.

Under the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, to be elected in an uncontested election, a director nominee must receive a majority of the votes cast. In an uncontested election, the incumbent director nominee must submit an irrevocable resignation that is subject to (i) that director receiving less than a majority of the votes cast in the uncontested election, and (ii) acceptance of the resignation by the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board for such purpose. In the event an incumbent director doesthis proposal is not receive a majorityapproved, the Certificate Amendment will not be filed and stockholders will be asked to elect four directors as Class 2 directors to serve for three-year terms. The foregoing description of the votes cast in an uncontested election, the NominatingCertificate Amendment is a summary only and Governance Committee will make a recommendationis qualified by reference to the full Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The full Board is required to act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than 90 days following certificationtext of the stockholder vote. If any incumbent director does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the Board will publicly disclose its decision regarding accepting or not accepting a resignation within four business days of reaching its decision.

The Board proposes the election of Richard A. Kerley and Christopher S. Shackelton as Class 1 directors. The director nominees were nominated by the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee,proposed Certificate Amendment, which nomination was confirmed by the Board. Each nominee has consentedis attached to serving as a nominee for election to the Board, to being named in thethis Proxy Statement and to serving as a member of the Board if elected by the Company’s stockholders.

If our stockholders approve Proposal 1 to declassify the Board, however, the Company intends to file the Certificate Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State such that it is effective before taking a vote on this proposal, which will eliminate the classified Board over three years as discussed under Proposal 1, and directors will begin to be elected for one-year terms beginning with this Annual Meeting.

Under the Company’s Bylaws, to be elected in an uncontested election such as the election at this year’s Annual Meeting, a director nominee must receive more votes cast for such director nominee than cast against such director nominee. In an uncontested election, an incumbent director nominee must submit an irrevocable resignation that will be given effect only if (i) that director receives fewer votes cast for the director than against the director, and (ii) the resignation is accepted by the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board for such purpose. In the event an incumbent director does not receive more votes cast for the director than against in an uncontested election, the Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board is required to act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. If any incumbent director does not receive more votes cast for the director’s election than against, the Board will publicly disclose its decision regarding accepting or not accepting a resignation within four business days of reaching its decision.

The Board proposes the election of David A. Coulter, Leslie V. Norwalk, Rahul Samant, and L. Heath Sampson for the ensuing term. If our stockholders approve Proposal 1, our Board will no longer be classified and the four nominees, if elected, will hold office for one-year terms expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. If our stockholders do not approve Proposal 1, the Board will remain classified, the four nominees will remain as Class 2 directors and, if elected, the four nominees will hold office for three-year terms expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The director nominees were nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board, which nomination was confirmed by the Board. Each nominee has consented to serve as a nominee for election to the Board, to be named in the Proxy Statement and to serve as a member of the Board if elected by the Company’s stockholders. Information regarding each nominee is set forth below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing Board leadership and recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure.

As part of the changes in management and

The Board composition on November 19, 2012, the Board reviewed its leadership structure andhas determined to separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer, or CEO and Chairman of the Board between two individuals. The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate because it strengthens the Board’s independence and enables the Chief Executive OfficerCEO to focus on the management of our business.

Independence of the Board

The Board believes that independence depends not only on our director’sdirectors’ individual relationships, but also on the Board’s overall attitude. Providing objective, independent judgment is at the core of the Board’s oversight function. Under our corporate governance guidelines, the Board, with the assistance of legal counsel and the Nominating and Governance Committee, uses the current standards for “independence” established by NASDAQ to evaluate any material relationship a director may have with Providencethe Company to determine director independence. A director is not considered “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with Providencethe Company or any subsidiary in the consolidated group other(other than as a director of another board of directors ofModivCare or one of our consolidated subsidiaries.subsidiaries). Any relationship that falls below a threshold set forth by the standards for “independence” established by NASDAQ and our corporate governance guidelines, or is not required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K,applicable SEC rules, is automatically deemed to be an immaterial relationship. Our Board has affirmatively determined that all directors other than Mr. Kerley, Ms. Meints and Ms. NorwalkSampson are independent directors.

Daniel Greenleaf, who served as our Chief Executive Officer and as a Class 2 director until his departure from the Company in July 2022, was not considered independent due to his service as an executive officer of the Company.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks. The Nominating and Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board, and potential conflicts of interest.interest as well as legal and regulatory compliance. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through attendance at committee meetings or committee reports about such risks. In addition, members of senior management regularly provide reports to the Board about their respective areas of responsibility and any risks thereof.related risks. These reports include actions taken by senior management to monitor and control such risks.

Compensation Risks

Prudent risk management is necessary to deliver long-term, sustainable shareholderstockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation program supports the objectives described abovebelow without encouraging inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered in particular the following attributes and risk mitigation features of our compensation program.

program:
our program’s emphasis on long-term, equity-based compensation discourages risk-taking that produces short-term results at the expense of building long-term stockholder value
the maximum payout levels for bonuses and equity-based compensation are capped by the Compensation Committee;
the Compensation Committee can exercise negative discretion to reduce annual cash incentive compensation payments;
the Compensation Committee uses an independent compensation consultant that performs no other services for the Company, except at the direction of the Compensation Committee
the Compensation Committee has the authority to make retroactive adjustments to incentive compensation pursuant to the Company’s clawback policy; and

Additionally, the independent members of the Board met in executive session regularly without the presence of management.

The Board has an internal policy that all of the directors should attend (either telephonically or in person) the annual meeting of stockholders, absent exceptional cause. All of the directors who were directors at the time of the meeting attended the 20152022 annual meeting of stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has three separately-designatedseparately designated standing committees: anthe Audit Committee, athe Compensation Committee and athe Nominating and Governance Committee, each as described below. As announced on May 11, 2015, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Warren Rustand, stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer and director, and the Company’s chairman, Christopher Shackelton, assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis until a replacement was named, each effective June 1, 2015.

Prior to Christopher Shackelton stepping down from each of the committees on June 1, 2015, the Board had determined that he was an “independent director” for both board and committee purposes under applicable NASDAQ standards. Christopher Shackelton is a Managing Partner of Coliseum Capital Management, LLC, which owns approximately 13.3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and approximately 95.3% of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock as of the Record Date.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Policy Regarding Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to its written charter, the Audit Committee has adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy that, subject to certain exceptions, requires the Audit Committee (or the chair of the Audit Committee in certain instances) to review and either ratify, approve or disapprove all “transactions” with “related persons,” which have the meanings given to such terms in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related person under the policy, the Audit Committee is to consider all relevant information and facts available to it regarding the transaction and take into account factors such as the related person’s relationship to the Company and interest in the transaction (direct or indirect), the terms of the transaction and the benefits to the Company of the transaction. No director is to participate in the approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person or otherwise has a direct or indirect interest.

We also make inquiries quarterly of officers and directors to identify any additional related person transactions that have arisen since the last inquiry as a means to ensure all potential transactions subject to the policy are captured. These questionnaires are reviewed by our General Counsel and any such transactions or other related person transactions are brought to the attention of the Audit Committee as appropriate.

Mr. Wray’s service as Chief Human Resources Officer ceased in February 2023, although his employment with the acquisitions of Matrix and IngeusCompany continued in 2014, we established and implemented a new business strategy where Providence became a holding company whose subsidiaries provide access to critical healthcare and workforce development services. Senior leadership, including our NEOs, continued to lead our transition towards fully implementing the holding company structure in 2015.

Our holding company strategy is designed to increase intrinsic value on a per share basis, which in turn is predicated upontransitional role until May 1, 2023.

Executive Summary
Despite the continued developmentimpact of the COVID pandemic and efficient deliverythe challenging macroeconomic environment on our business and society at large, the Company continued the evolution of criticalits business and high quality services. Our current service offerings are based upontechnology that had positive impacts on our clients, transportation providers and members. We also enhanced our senior leadership, resulting in an experienced team with a common purposetrack record of delivering exceptional valueoperational excellence, including veteran leaders for our Mobility and Home businesses. The Board promoted L. Heath Sampson to CEO, Rebecca Orcutt to CAO, and Kenneth Shepard to CFO of our Mobility business. We made progress building for scale through our integration efforts in 2022 which continue into 2023. We grew our membership from 30 to 35 million monthly members in our Mobility segment and we grew our Personal Care provider base - we reintroduced benefits to caregivers in 2022 which contributed to an increase in our caregiver satisfaction score, resulting in an increase in the healthcarenumber of caregivers.

We advanced key technology and center of excellence optimization initiatives
2022We realigned our service offerings under two units: Mobility, consisting of our NEMT business, and Home, which includes our Personal Care, Monitoring, and Meals businesses

The efforts of this talented leadership team during 2022 resulted in the Company continuing to produce strong financial results despite continuing COVID headwinds and workforce development service industries, primarilya challenging macroeconomic environment. This strong financial performance is evidenced by the Company reporting substantial revenue growth in a community or home setting.

In orderthe last two years as compared to meet our goal of increasing shareholder value, we have established certain priorities at both the holding company and segment leadership levels. The priorities of our leadership at the holding company level include: 1) pursuing the highest standards of governance, values and compliance, 2) ensuring operating excellence by attracting, developing, and retaining empowered and accountable segment level leadership with deep industry experience, and 3) allocating capital opportunistically in markets that may be inefficient or where we have an ability to invest at a discount to intrinsic value, particularly where our experience, analysis, and long-term perspective can provide an advantage over competitors. As demonstrated in 2015 with the divestiture of our Human Services segment, we also may dispose of current or future investments based on a variety of factors, including availability of alternative opportunities to deploy capital or otherwise maximize shareholder valuetwo years prior, as well as other strategic considerations.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its most critical assetdirectly comparable GAAP financial measure, is our people, including our holding company team that drives our capital allocation decisions and our segment leadership teams which drive operational excellence. Our strategic initiatives have necessitated several organizational changes at the holding company level.

Mr. Warren Rustand, who served as our CEO from May 7, 2013, stepped down from his position as CEO on June 1, 2015. While the Company conducted a comprehensive search for a CEO replacement, Providence’s Chairman, Mr. Christopher S. Shackelton assumed the CEO role on an interim basis. During Mr. Shackelton’s term as interim CEO, he did not receive any pay other than his compensation as Chairman. On August 6, 2015, the Company appointed Mr. James M. Lindstrom, then CFO of the Company, as CEO.

Mr. Robert Wilson served as our CFO from November 19, 2012. Having completed his contractual employment commitment at the end of 2014, Mr. Wilson stepped down from his role with the Company. Mr. Lindstrom was thereafter hired as Executive Vice President and CFO effective January 16, 2015.

Mr. Michael-Bryant Hicks resigned as Senior Vice President and General Counsel effective February 25, 2016.

Ms. Sophia Tawil was hired as Senior Vice President and General Counsel effective April 25, 2016.

New LTI Program

We believe in recognizing the performance of our executive officers through compensation made up of a base salary and performance based incentives. The primary focus of the incentive compensation plan structure was revised in 2015 bythis Proxy Statement.

Against this challenging macroeconomic environment, the Compensation Committee has utilized four key objectives to bettercontinue to engage, retain and motivate the Executive Leadership Team at ModivCare. For 2022, this included enhancing the performance-based aspect of our compensation strategy through the introduction of performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). These performance-based awards align executive performance with Company performance by tying the new business strategyoutcome of these awards to common stock price appreciation target values, in addition to time-based vesting restrictions.
The guiding principles of our compensation philosophy are intended to meet the following objectives:
1Market competitiveness
2Pay-for-Performance

Executive CompensationTABLE OF CONTENTS
The elements of our performance-based compensation program are as follows:
Component of
Performance-Based
Compensation
Description of Program
Short-Term Incentive Plan
(the “STI”)
The STI is designed to provide financial incentive to the executives for achieving in-year goals that are aligned to stockholder value creation. As further described below under “2022 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Short-Term Incentive Plan,” cash and discretionary equity awards were granted under the STI to certain of our NEOs based on 2022 performance.
Long-Term Incentive Program
(the “LTI”)
The LTI is designed to align the eligible executives’ incentives with our stockholders’ interests to achieve increases in our stock value. As further described below under “2022 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Long-Term Incentive Program,” equity awards were granted under the LTI to each of our NEOs in 2022.
STI Determinations
As further described below under “2022 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Short-Term Incentive Plan,” the Compensation Committee utilized Compensation Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, as the financial measure against which to determine whether payouts would be made to executives under the 2022 STI. The Compensation Committee implemented a new LTI program for our holding companychose to use Compensation Adjusted EBITDA, among other reasons, to motivate the executives calledto manage, to the HoldCo LTI Plan, designedextent reasonably practicable, the Company’s operating expenses to drive extraordinary stockholder value and reward our executives for substantial stockholder value creation.

Our executives begin to receive compensationthe amounts that were included in the Company’s Board approved 2022 operating budget. The Compensation Committee then, in connection with its determination of the payouts under this plan once our multi-year compound annual stockholder return exceeds 8%. If our stockholder return exceeds 8% per annum during the specified period, our executives will earn Providence common shares in conjunction with increases in Providence’s share price. While these awards are earned through 2017, the common shares vest between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2019. We believe this structure encourages an ownership mentality that incentivizes our management to create stockholder value over a multi-year period.

The Committee also established a new LTI program for the senior leadership at each of our segments2022 STI based on value creation (as measured by EBITDA growth) and free cash flow generation, as2022 executive performance, exercised discretion to award a portion of the earned payouts in newly structured PRSUs.

Finally, equity awards were granted under the LTI in pursuit2022 to each of encouraging an ownership mindset in our executives, we offered a Stock Matching Program in 2015, under which executives were invited to purchase shares of common stock from the Company through the grant of an immediately exercisable option to further encourage an ownership mindsetMessrs. Sampson, Hickman, Simpson, Anderson, Greenleaf and align executives with the Company’s long-term success. For every share of common stock an executive purchased, he or she was entitled to retain matching options subject to time-based vesting that had been granted together with the immediately exercisable option. These matching options are forfeited if the executive sells any shares of common stock (not just the shares purchased under this program), subject to limited exceptions, prior to December 31, 2017. Given the match was made in options, executives will receive no benefit from this program unless the common stock price increases, they do not sell any shares of common stock and they remain employed with the Company. Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. David Shackelton each purchased $500,000 in shares of Company common stock under this program in 2015, and therefore retained matching options, in addition to their previous open market purchases since joining the Company.

Stockholder Say-on-Pay and Company Response

In establishing and recommending 20152022 compensation for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the results of the Say-on-Pay vote at the 20152022 annual meeting of stockholders. At thatthe 2022 annual meeting, our stockholders approved our executive compensation for the 20142021 fiscal year with approximately 86.1%the affirmative vote of more than 99% of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the votes cast in favor.proposal. Our Board of Directors recognizes that executive compensation is important to stockholders and takes this into account when reviewing the compensation program throughout the year. In reviewing the compensation program in light of the new business strategy of operating as a holding company, the CommitteeWe believe that we have established a performance-based compensation plan that directly aligns the compensation paid to NEOs with value delivered to stockholders.

Detailed

Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Philosophy
ModivCare’s compensation philosophy is designed to attract, incentivize and retain highly talented individuals with diverse backgrounds and experience who are committed to our core values and our purpose of balancing mission and margin.
The guiding principles for our compensation philosophy are:
Market competitiveness - Aggregate total direct compensation (base salary, variable pay and long-term incentive) should be near the market median (if affordable) and allows company and/or individual performance to drive actual compensation up or down, including above target pay at the market median when performance warrants it;
Pay-for-Performance - There should be a strong link between our business strategy, the performance metrics in our short-term and long-term incentive programs, and the business results that drive stockholder value;
Align with Stockholder Interests - A significant portion of pay should be performance-based, with the percentage of total pay tied to performance increasing proportionally with a leader’s level of responsibility, and the compensation policies should include an opportunity for, and a requirement of, significant equity ownership intended to align the interests of NEOs and stockholders; and

The combination of stock options, RSUs and PRSUs furthered the Compensation Committee’s objectives of directly aligning executive compensation with stockholder interests, with (1) the stock option component motivating performance through stock price appreciation (i.e., stock options have no value if stock price does not appreciate), (2) RSUs providing incentives for long-term retention of key executives in connection with their employment agreements.

2015 Executive Compensation Program Decisions

The following decisions were made in 2015 regarding each of these compensation components.


Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of each continuing NEO, and set salaries for newly-hired NEOs, at levels intended to be competitive, as further discussed under “—Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program”, and provide the appropriate level of fixed compensation for each individual’s role at the Company. In determining the base salaries in 2015 for each NEO, the Compensation Committee considered the internal pay comparisons within the executive group at Providence, individual performance, overall financial performance of the Company, and market data. Salaries for our NEOs as of year-end or as of the date of their resignation were as follows:

(3) The base salary for Mr. David Shackelton in his capacity as Vice President, Head of Corporate Development was $180,000. When appointed Interim CFO in August 2015, Mr. David Shackelton’s base salary was set at $300,000 and increased to $450,000 when he was appointed CFO on October 1, 2015.

Actual salaries were pro-rated for time served in 2015 as shown in the “Summary Compensation Table.”

2015 Cash Bonus Awards

Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)

All NEOs participated in the 2015 AIP, except for Christopher Shackelton. For 2015, the AIP was based on corporate financial performance, measured by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. AIP payouts were subject to achieving the EBITDA target, set equal to the budget for 2015, after expensing the actual AIP payout amounts. EBITDA performance achieved below the EBITDA target results in no payouts under the 2015 AIP. Although Ms. Uzzell was not subject to the 2015 AIP, her bonus award was based on the same design as the 2015 AIP.

Messrs. Lindstrom, David Shackelton, Rustand, Hicks, and Schwarz were also eligible to earn an additional payout through sharing between them 20% of the amount, if any, by which actual EBITDA performance exceeded the EBITDA target, after expensing the actual AIP bonus payouts. Each individual’s additional payout is subject to a cap of 25% of each individual’s base salary received in 2015.

Each participant’s AIP opportunity was determined as a percentage of base salary, as follows:

(1) Mr. Lindstrom target AIP opportunity was 75% during his time served as CFO and was maintained at 75% when he was appointed CEO.

(2) David Shackelton’s target AIP opportunity was 25% from January 1, 2015 to August 5, 2015. Upon being appointed to the CFO role, his target AIP opportunity increased to 75% of base salary for August 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

(3) Although Ms. Uzzell was not subject to the 2015 AIP, her bonus payout as indicated above was based on achieving the same EBITDA target under the 2015 AIP.

Actual performance was below the EBITDA target, and therefore no AIP awards were paid in 2015. See below for details.

Special Bonuses

The Compensation Committee awarded special discretionary bonuses for certain NEOs serving at the holding company in recognition of their numerous accomplishments in 2015, including, but not limited to, the sale of the Human Services segment and the transition to the holding company structure. Messrs. Lindstrom and David Shackelton and Ms. Uzzell received $400,000, $240,000, and $135,000, respectively.

Mr. Schwarz also received a special discretionary bonus of $855,779 in recognition of his contribution to the outstanding performance of LogistiCare in 2015 and the impact his leadership has had on value creation over a multi-year period.

Long-Term Incentives

HoldCo LTI Plan

The HoldCo LTI Plan is a multi-year plan with a contingent share based payout based on stock price performance, thus providing direct alignment with stockholders. The Compensation Committee selected participants of the HoldCo LTI Plan based on individuals who could have a significant impact on Company results in support of the business strategy. Performance will be measured from August 6, 2015 (the “award date”) to December 31, 2017 (the “determination date”). No further LTI plans are expected to be put into place for participants of the HoldCo LTI Plan through December 31, 2017.

Under the HoldCo LTI Plan, executives will earn Providence common shares based on the degree to which Providence’s compound annual stockholder returns exceed 8% (“Extraordinary Shareholder Value”) over the specified performance period. No award will be payable if compound annual stockholder returns are below 8%. If returns are above 8%, all participating executives will share in a total pool equal to 8% of the Extraordinary Shareholder Value. The pool will be capped based on 8% of 40% compound annual stockholder returns. The beginning and ending value will be measured based on the 90-day volume-weighted average stock price (“VWAP”) ending on the award date and determination date, respectively.

The LTI opportunity was set such that, at a compound annual growth rate of 15%, our executives’ compensation would be below the median of our peers. In order to earn compensation at or above median, performance above 15% compound annual would be required, such that at the plan maximum of 40%, our executives’ compensation would be positioned towards the high end of the peer group, aligned with the outstanding results to the stockholders.


The table set forth below illustrates the payouts that would be achieved under the HoldCo LTI Plan based on each of the assumed Compound Annual Growth Rates set forth in the table, which are provided solely for purposes of illustration of the operation of the HoldCo LTI Pool.

Participants in the HoldCo LTI Plan receive a percentage allocation of this pool and will receive their awards in Providence shares of common stock, subject to the below vesting schedule. The number of shares will be determined based on each participant’s percentage allocation of the pool in dollars divided by the 90-day VWAP ending on the determination date.

Each NEO who is participating in the HoldCo LTI Plan was allocated the following percentage of the pool as of December 31, 2015:

60% of each HoldCo LTI Plan participant’s shares will be issued on or shortly following the determination date, 25% will vest on the one-year anniversary of the determination date (December 31, 2018), and the remaining 15% will vest on the second anniversary of the determination date (December 31, 2019). Participants must be employed as of the vesting dates in order for each tranche to vest. Accordingly, because Mr. Hicks resigned in 2016 prior to any vesting date, he forfeited his award upon his resignation.

Senior Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (“Senior Executive LTIP”).

The Senior Executive LTIP, a program under the 2006 Plan, is designed to align the interests of the executive teams at each subsidiary with the value creation goals of the Company. The plan is intended to motivate the subsidiary executives to make decisions that create long-term value for stockholders by achieving growth for their business. Mr. Schwarz is the only NEO who participates in a Senior Executive LTIP, and he participates in the LogistiCare Vertical LTIP in particular. Ingeus and Matrix also have similar Senior Executive LTIP programs for their senior management.


The Senior Executive LTIP is a cash incentive awarded for each subsidiary based on growing such subsidiary’s intrinsic value (as measured by EBITDA growth over a three-year period times a 6X multiple) and free cash flow metrics. Additionally, in order to qualify the award for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), the Senior Executive LTIP is subject to a performance condition of 2% EBITDA margin for the twelve-month period beginning on either October 1, 2015, January 1, 2016, or January 1, 2017 (“162(m) Performance Period”).

The performance period for each subsidiary program is from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2017. For LogistiCare in particular, the baseline intrinsic value is based on 2014 EBITDA and the ending intrinsic value is based 70% on 2017 EBITDA and 30% on 2016 EBITDA.

Value Created is defined for each subsidiary program as the result of subtracting the subsidiary’s baseline intrinsic value from the subsidiary’s ending intrinsic value. A Value Creation Pool is generated for each subsidiary plan based on the sum of the amounts derived from the percentages of Value Created determined in accordance with the following table based on the subsidiary’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) over the performance period:

Value Creation Pool
(% of Value Created (“VC”))

5% of VC from 0-10% CAGR

6% of VC from 10%-20% CAGR

7% of VC for ≥ 20% CAGR

The Value Creation Pool may be funded up to an implied three-year CAGR of 40%.

Separately, a Free Cash Flow Pool (“FCF Pool”) is generated equal to the three year cumulative Free Cash Flow for the performance period multiplied by the quotient of the amount of the Value Creation Pool divided by Value Created.

The Value Creation Pool and the FCF Pool are added to generate the total award pool. To the extent an award pool is created for LogistiCare and subject to his continued employment during the performance period, Mr. Schwarz will receive a cash payment subject to extended multi-year vesting. In 2015, Mr. Schwarz was allocated a participation percentage of 40% of the LogistiCare total award pool.

60% of the product of the pool created and Mr. Schwarz’s participation percentage allocation will pay out at the end of the performance period. On the first and second anniversaries of the determination date, Mr. Schwarz will receive additional payments equal to 25% and 15%, respectively, of the payout, subject to continued employment as of the date of payment.

Participants may elect to receive up to 50% of the award in Common Stock of the Company. Any portion of the award elected to be received in shares will payout in the first tranche.

Definitions of Performance Measures for Senior Executive LTIP

Specific definitions of EBITDA margin, EBITDA and free cash flow for purposes of the Senior Executive LTIP are as follows.

“EBITDA Margin” means, for each 162(m) Performance Period, the quotient obtained when LogistiCare’s EBITDA for the 162(m) Performance Period (after making adjustments that add back any one-time costs associated with acquisitions or divestitures, stock-based compensation, gain or loss on equity investments, and other non-cash related items) is divided by its revenues for such 162(m) Performance Period, as determined by the Administrator.


“EBITDA” means LogistiCare’s earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for certain items related to acquisitions/divestitures, share-settled equity costs, contingent consideration, gain/loss on equity investment, asset impairment, foreign currency translation gains/losses, amortization of start-up costs for contracts and Senior Vertical LTIP accrual.

“Free Cash Flow” means LogistiCare’s free cash flow. Free Cash Flow will be the operating cash flow for LogistiCare, including corporate allocations, adjusted for certain items related to pro-forma adjustments, cash transfers, acquisition costs, dividends from equity investment, capital expenditures, estimated interest payments, and tax payments.

Stock Matching Program

In August 2015, the Compensation Committee offered the Stock Matching Program for certain NEOs. Under this program, certain NEOs were invited to purchase equity from the Company, essentially investing in the stock alongside stockholders, in order to further align with stockholder interests and establish an ownership mindset in the Company. The program functions such that for every share of Providence stock that an executive purchased, the executive received an option that vests at the end of three years and expires after five years, so long as the executive does not sell any shares for three years and remains employed by the Company during the three-year period. Because the match is in options, executives will receive no benefit from this plan unless the stock price increases.

Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. David Shackelton each purchased $500,000 of common shares under this program. To implement this program, each of our NEOs as of August 2015 was issued 11,319 options with a 10-day exercise period (“Special Options”) and 11,319 Matching Options (subject to three-year cliff vesting) based on an exercise price of $44.17. Messrs. Lindstrom and David Shackelton exercised their Special Options by paying the exercise price and kept their Matching Options. Other NEOs did not exercise their Special Options and therefore forfeited their Special and Matching Options.

The Matching Options are otherwise subject to terms substantially identical to those applicable to Providence’s previously granted time-vested stock options, including continued employment, and will vest fully in connection with a Change in Control (as defined by the 2006 Plan). All options were granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan.

New Hire Grants

Upon Mr. Lindstrom’s appointment as CFO, he was awarded a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award valued at $500,000 on June 1, 2015 in connection with his employment agreement. This award was subject to Mr. Lindstrom purchasing at least $100,000 of our common stock, which was purchased between May 28, 2015 and June 1, 2015. One-third of the RSUs were deemed vested on the date of grant, one-third vested on July 26, 2015, and one-third vested on January 26, 2016. Although these awards have vested, the stock will not be issued to Mr. Lindstrom until the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of grant and (b) six months following the termination of his employment.

Annual Equity Grants

At the beginning of 2015, the Compensation Committee granted PBRSUs and TBRS to Messrs. Rustand, Hicks and Schwarz, consistent with the annual equity program that was approved by the Board of Directors in March 2015. Specifically, equity grants were made based on a mix of 80% PBRSUs and 20% TBRS.

As Messrs. Rustand and Hicks are no longer with the Company, specific treatment of their outstanding equity grants is provided for in their respective Separation Agreements. See “Employment Agreements with the Named Executive Officers” for further detail.


PBRSUs vest based on return on equity, or ROE, performance over a 3-year period commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017. ROE will be measured based on consolidated net income for the performance period divided by the average of stockholder’s equity over the same period. PBRSUs are subject to the following payout scale:

PBRSU Pay/Performance Scale

3-Year ROE

Payout as a % of Target

≥ 15%

100%

≥ 12 but less than 15%

33%

< 12%

0%

Each vested PBRSU will be settled through the issuance of a share of Providence common stock. Vesting criteria for PBRSU awards require employment with Providence throughout the performance period ending December 31, 2017, as well as achievement of the performance goal.

TBRS will vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the recipient is employed by us on each vesting date.

To determine the amount of PBRSUs and TBRS to award each NEO, the Compensation Committee made a subjective determination, after considering the internal pay comparisons within the executive group at Providence, individual performance, overall financial performance of the company, and market data. Specific 2015 equity grants made to Messrs. Rustand, Hicks and Schwarz were as follows. Messrs. David Shackelton and Ms. Uzzell did not receive grants under this program given their roles at the time of grant, and Mr. Lindstrom did not receive grants under this program given the new hire grants awarded in connection with his employment agreement, as specified above.

The PBRSUs grants made in 2013 covered the performance period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. ROE for this time period performed below the threshold level of performance, and therefore, none of the PBRSUs vested in connection with this award.

Policy Regarding the Timing of Equity Award Grants

The Compensation Committee makes its decisions regarding the number of stock options, shares of restricted stock and PBRSUs to be awarded to the NEOs without regard to the effects that the release of our financial results might have on our stock price. The exercise price per share for option grants and the per share value used to determine the number of shares of stock subject to PBRSU and TBRS awards are equal to the closing market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Thus, the exercise price of the options granted and the value of the restricted stock and/or PBRSUs awarded are not known until after the close of regular trading on NASDAQ on the day the Compensation Committee meets.

Equity awards may be granted during the year to new hires and employees receiving a promotion and in other special circumstances. Our policy is that only the Compensation Committee may make such grants to officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 under the Exchange Act.

Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program

The compensation of our CEO is determined and approved by the Compensation Committee.Committee, subject to the approval of the full Board excluding our CEO. Our CEO annually reviews the performance of each NEO, other than himself, relative to the annual performance goals established for the year. Our CEO then makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to all aspects of the compensation of the other NEOs who report directly to him, but does not participate in the final deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect thereto. The Compensation Committee exercises discretion in modifying compensation recommendations relatingand has the final decision with respect to the other NEOs that were made by our CEO and approves all compensation decisions for the NEOs.

Base Salary
The Compensation Committee has periodically reviewed and set salaries for NEOs at levels intended to be competitive, as further discussed under the caption “—Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program,” and to provide the appropriate level of fixed compensation for each individual’s role at the Company. In determining the NEOs’ base salaries, the Compensation Committee has considered the internal pay comparisons within the executive group at the Company, individual performance, overall financial performance of the Company, and market data, as appropriate. Annual base salaries for our NEOs were as follows:

Executive CompensationTABLE OF CONTENTS
Short-Term Incentive Plan
In the design of the 2022 STI plan, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with management, adopted Compensation Adjusted EBITDA targets that were tied to the Company’s Board approved 2022 operating budget. As shown in the reconciliation included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, Compensation Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by reducing the Company’s publicly disclosed Adjusted EBITDA by the amount by which the operating expenses identified in such reconciliation exceeded the Company’s Board approved 2022 operating budget. As was the case in 2020 and 2021, the 2022 STI plan provided for a bonus opportunity for each executive based 50% on consolidated financial performance, measured in 2022 by Compensation Adjusted EBITDA, and 50% on individual performance goals established by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO.
In February 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed the financial and operational results of the Company for the 2022 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee calculated Compensation Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 to be approximately $193 million and used this calculation to determine a potential STI payout of 80% of target under the 2022 STI. The Compensation Committee then exercised discretion and determined, in part as an intended retention tool, to make the payouts 75% in cash and 25% in newly structured PRSUs, with vesting of the PRSU portion of the STI conditioned upon continued employment of the executives through the three-year time-based vesting period as well as the satisfaction of the financial performance objectives contained in the PRSUs.

1.The amounts listed in this column are annualized targets and do not necessarily reflect the amounts actually paid to NEOs.
2.Mr. Simpson was also eligible for an initial one-time performance bonus of $100,000, based on the achievement of certain performance goals set by our Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with Mr. Simpson, payable either in cash or equity, at the option of Mr. Simpson.
With respect to the portion of the STI that was tied to individual performance, the amount of the award for each executive was calculated as (A) 50% of the Target Incentive Plan Opportunity Value set forth above, multiplied by (B) the percentage of individual performance objectives achieved, multiplied by (C) 80% (the 2022 STI payout determined by the Compensation Committee). Mr. Sampson’s individual performance objectives centered around achievement of the Company’s Compensation Adjusted EBITDA as well as achievement of MBOs determined during the time he served as CFO of the Company. For the other NEOs, performance objectives centered around, among other things:
reducing cost overrides in our Mobility business;
improving on-time performance in our Mobility business;
expanding the sales pipeline;
achieving revenue targets;
increasing Caregiver supply in our Personal Care business;
reducing annual real estate costs;
implementing a leadership development program;
building sustainable processes in governance and risk management; and
achieving integration synergies.
As a result of their respective performance, each of Messrs. Hickman, Simpson and Wray was determined to have achieved 100% of his performance goals. As a result, such NEOs were awarded 80% of their total target bonuses (prorated from their respective start dates in April 2022, in the case of Messrs. Hickman and Simpson), payable 75% in cash and, if their employment was continuing, 25% in PRSUs. As a result of his respective performance first as CFO and then as CEO and CFO, Mr. Sampson was deemed to have achieved 50% of his performance goals due to the Company’s continued material weakness in financial reporting in the Personal

Care business and, therefore, was awarded 60% of this target bonus, prorated based on the portion of the year he served as CEO and the portion of the year he served as CFO, payable 75% in cash and, since his employment was continuing, 25% in PRSUs. Due to the fact that the employment of Messrs. Hickman and Wray was not continuing, each only received the cash portion of the STI payout. Messrs. Anderson and Greenleaf, who both departed the Company in July 2022, were not eligible for a bonus for fiscal 2022.
Long-Term Incentives
In an effort to retain, motivate, and continue to align the Company’s executive officers’ interests with stockholders’ interests and stockholder value creation, the Compensation Committee grants long-term incentive awards under its LTI to the executive officers as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee from year to year or as required by contractual arrangements, as applicable. In 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to further enhance the performance-based aspect of its compensation strategy by introducing PRSUs to the LTI grants to executive officers in a ratio of 50% PRSUs, 25% restricted stock units, which have inherent retention value, and 25% stock options, which align executives’ interests with stockholders’ interests given their inherent performance-based value tied to stock price appreciation. These PRSUs vest three years from the grant date at various payout percentages depending on the Company’s achievement of the greatest 30-Day VWAP amount during the vesting period.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Mr. Sampson received an award in February 2022 related to his performance as the Chief Financial Officer that consisted of 50% PRSUs with a fair value per share based on the probable satisfaction of the stock price appreciation targets for these awards as of the grant date, 25% stock options with an exercise price per share equal to the closing stock price of the underlying shares of common stock on the grant date and 25% RSUs. Mr. Sampson received an additional award grant in November 2022 as recognition of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer that consisted of 50% PRSUs, 25% stock options and 25% RSUs. Each of Messrs. Anderson, Greenleaf, and Wray received grants in February 2022 in connection with their employment arrangements with the Company. In the case of Messrs. Greenleaf and Anderson, these awards were cancelled prior to vesting as a result of their respective departures from the Company. Mr. Hickman and Mr. Simpson also received grants on April 18, 2022 and April 11, 2022, respectively, in connection with their respective appointments. The Compensation Committee considered various factors in determining the value of the individual equity grants, including the individuals’ roles, performance, historical LTI grants, and market data.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for NEOs

We believe that promoting stock ownership aligns the interests of our continuing NEOs with those of our stockholders and provides strong motivation to build stockholder value.

shares underlying any in-the-money value of vested stock options; and
shares owned jointly with or in trust for, their immediate family members residing in the same household.

Compliance with, or in trust for, immediate family members residing in the established holding level requirement as determined under the amended guidelines was required by December 31, 2014 or within five years of a person becoming a NEO, whichever is later, and will be calculated and determined as of December 31 of each year. Further,same household.

Continuing NEOs are allowedrequired to sell shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting of PBRSUs and TBRS and the exercise price and taxes owed upon the exercise of stock options. Once the ownership requirement has been achieved, the executive officers are free to sellhold all compensatory shares of our Common Stock aboveuntil they have reached the required holding level (subjectdescribed above. This holding requirement does not apply to shares purchased by an NEO in the market or from the Company policies and applicable law). In determining whether the executive meets the required holding level, the stock ownership guidelines were amended to require usefor cash unless acquired by exercise of the greater of (a) the closing market share price as of the date an executive is granted or purchases such shares and (ii) the closing market share price on December 31 of the year the calculation is performed (or the last trading day of that year, if the markets are closed on December 31).a compensatory option. In the event aan NEO does not achieve his or her holding level set forth above or thereafterand sells shares of our Common Stock in violation of the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and take such actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.

Clawback

It is the Board’s policy that the Compensation Committee will, to the extent permitted by governing law, have the sole and absolute authority to make retroactive adjustments to any excess cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to executive officers and certain other officers where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement. Any such incentive compensation received within the three fiscal years prior to the restatement is subject to retroactive adjustment. The Company may seek cash repayment from the executive, offset compensation due to the executive by the amount subject to retroactive adjustment or cancel the executive’s outstanding awards. Where applicable, we will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the individual executive.

Anti-hedging / anti-pledging

We have a policy that prohibits employees, executive officers and the Board from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions, or other financial arrangements that establish a short position in our Common Stock or otherwise are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value. In addition, we have a policy that prohibits our employees, executive officers and the Board from pledging our Common Stock as collateral for a loan or for a margin account.

Change in Control, and Severance Arrangements and Severance Payments in 2015

During 2015,fiscal year 2022, we had either employment agreements or employment offer letters with each of our NEOs, which providedNEOs. The employment letters with Messrs. Sampson, Hickman, Simpson, Anderson and Wray and the employment agreement with Mr. Greenleaf provide for a severance payment upon the termination of employment under certainspecified circumstances, and for a paymentincluding termination upon or following a change in control for all NEOs other than Ms. Uzzell as described below under “—Employment Agreements and Offer Letters with the Named Executive Officers” and “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”.

Control.”

Modivcare 2023 Proxy Statement43

When entering into these employment agreements with the NEOs, both during 2015 and in prior years, the Compensation Committee evaluated the Company’s past practice with respect to change in control provisions and severance arrangements and evaluated current market practices for such provisions. The Company has historically included similar provisions in its employment arrangements in order to attract the quality leadership it believes important to the execution of its strategy. The Committee believes that it is important to incentivize management to focus on the execution of the Company’s strategy and to minimize the distraction that may occur as a result of concerns over issues of termination or if the Company were to face a potential change in control transaction. In structuring the provisions included in the employment agreements, the Committee balanced the need to eliminate such distractions with the protection that it believed necessary to provide a competitive employment package to the Company’s NEOs, taking into account all of the terms of the employment agreements. The Compensation Committee considered certain legal and tax provisions, fairness to stockholders, tenure of each executive officer and general corporate practice to select the events that would have triggered payments under the employment agreements noted above. Potential payments to executives upon the occurrence of the events noted above did not impact the Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding other compensation elements.

Certain payment provisions of these employment agreements are also triggered by a change in control which is defined in the employment agreements, and an ensuing negative employment event. However, if the sum of any lump payments, the value of any accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards, and the value of any other benefits payable to the executive officer on a change in control would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the IRC), then such lump sum payment or other benefit will be reduced to the largest amount that will not result in receipt by the executive officer of a parachute payment. See “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control—Change in Control Payments.”

The HoldCo LTI Plan provides for pro rata participation by a participant who has had a Qualified Termination (as defined in the HoldCo LTI Plan) payable when awards are paid to other participants, and provides for forfeiture of all participation rights for a termination other than a Qualified Termination. The program provides that in the event of a Change in Control (as defined by the 2006 Plan) on or before December 31, 2017, all outstanding awards will be settled on the closing date of the Change in Control in an amount of cash and/or unrestricted stock that together have a fair market value equal to the total amount otherwise payable to the participant under the program determined as of such closing date without regard to the otherwise applicable vesting requirements. In the event of a Change in Control after December 31, 2017, each participant will receive on the closing date of the Change in Control cash and/or unrestricted stock having a fair market value equal to the total amount otherwise payable to the participant based on the determination as of December 31, 2017 without regard to the otherwise applicable vesting requirements.

In addition, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company during any performance period, the PBRSUs will be deemed earned by each executive and settled in shares at the maximum level established by the Committee and distributed to the executive within the number of days set forth in the Form of Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

Impact of tax treatmentTax Treatment on compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the IRC, we may not take a tax deduction for compensation paid to any NEO (other than our CFO) that exceeds $1 million in any year unless the compensation is “performance-based.” While theCompensation

The Compensation Committee endeavors to structure compensation so that we may take a tax deduction, but it does not have a policy requiring that all compensation must be deductible and it may, from time to time, authorize compensation that is not tax deductible. The Holdco LTI Plandeductible, including where it deems appropriate or necessary in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for our NEOs and Senior Executive LTIP have been structured to take advantagewhere doing so would be in the best interests of the performance-based exemption underCompany. For taxable years beginning after 2017, Section 162(m).

of the IRC generally disallows tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to our NEOs.

Other provisions of the IRC can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the IRC, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes sanctions, including a 20% penaltyadditional tax and an interest penalty, on a recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. The Compensation Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and strives to structure its compensation plans to meet these requirements.


Section 280G of the IRC disallows a company’s tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately three times their average annual compensation an excess(an “excess parachute payment,payment”) and Section 4999 of the IRC imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. The Compensation Committee also takes the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 into account in structuring compensation, endeavoring to enable the Company to take a tax deduction and executives to avoid the excise tax. For example, our change in control provisions and severance arrangements with our NEOs containCEO’s employment agreement contains provisions reducing suchin certain circumstances parachute payments to an amount that will not constitute an excess parachute payment.

1.The compensation included in this column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the equity awards granted during the year indicated, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on the assumptions set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Note15, Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements). Stock awards are a combination of time-based restricted stock units and restricted shares, as well as performance stock units. The grant date fair value of the performance restricted stock units is calculated using a Monte-Carlo valuation model, as determined under FASB ASC 718 for awards with a market condition, based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date, with inputs to the model of risk-free rate, closing stock price and volatility. The amounts do not necessarily reflect the actual value received by the executive, which may be more or less than the amount shown or zero. Assuming the maximum level of performance were achieved, the grant date fair value of the performance restricted stock units granted during fiscal year 2022 to each NEO would equal the following:

This column shows the aggregate grant date fair value of the restricted stock, Holdco LTI Plan awards and PBRSUs and TBRS awarded in 2015, 2014 and 2013 in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Additional information regarding such awards is set forth in the notes to the “Grants of Plan Based Awards Table” and “Outstanding Equity Awards” table. The grant date fair values have been determined based on the assumptions set forth in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements). Each of Mr. Rustand, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Schwarz were granted a number of PBRSUs in 2015, 2014 and 2013 subject to certain performance conditions. The amounts included in this column for the PBRSUs granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under FASB ASC 718. The grant date fair value of the PBRSU award granted in 2015 to each of Messrs. Rustand, Hicks and Schwarz assuming the maximum level of performance will be achieved totaled approximately $680,813, $251,981 and $459,997, however, amounts included in the table above reflect the threshold level of performance. The grant date fair value of Holdco LTI Plan awards was determined based on the likely payout based on a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Pursuant to the Rustand Separation Agreement, Mr. Rustand remained with the Company as a senior advisor through December 31, 2015, and received the same base salary applicable in 2015 during his tenure as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Rustand was also eligible to receive annual performance cash awards based on previously granted performance awards related to his performance during 2015, which amount was calculated based on the same criteria and paid at the same time as payments are made in respect of similar awards to which other executives of the Company are entitled, as well as certain other benefits. As further consideration for entering into the Rustand Separation Agreement, Mr. Rustand was eligible to receive amounts payable in respect of certain outstanding PBRSUs and TBRS grants, and was eligible to exercise certain outstanding option awards.

Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment Table

Our NEOs are only entitled to payment or accelerated vesting of equity awards (or other benefits) if there is a termination of employment in connection with or within 12 months after a Change in Control, occurs during the agreement term and after such Changewhich is commonly referred to as a so-called “double-trigger” change in Control but prior to the end of the term, he is terminated without Cause.

Rustand’s and Wilson’s employment agreements would have entitled them to receive (i) the greater of (a) annual base salary through the end of the term of the employment agreement or (b) 50% of annual base salary, and (ii) a pro-rata portion of any bonus earned prior to termination if a Change in Control occurs during the agreement term and after such Change in Control but prior to the end of the term, they are terminated without Cause. However, Mr. Wilson stepped down from his position, effective as of January 14, 2015, and in accordance with the Wilson Separation Agreement, Mr. Wilson is no longer entitled to this change of control benefit. Mr. Rustand stepped down from his position, effective June 1, 2015, and in accordance with the Rustand Separation Agreement, Mr. Rustand is no longer entitled to this change of control benefit.

In the event of a Change in Control of the Company during the term of the Schwarz Employment Agreement, and prior to the 24 month anniversary of the consummation date of the Change in Control (i) we terminate Mr. Schwarz’s employment without Cause, (ii) Mr. Schwarz terminates his employment for Good Reason, in lieu of any other amounts payable under the Schwarz Employment Agreement, or (iii) Mr. Schwarz’s agreement expires by its terms and we do not offer to renew the agreement for an additional term to expire no earlier than the 24 month anniversary of the consummation date of the Change in Control, Mr. Schwarz would receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the average of his annual W-2 compensation from us for the most recent five taxable years ending before the effective date of a Change in Control. The lump sum payment will be paid to Mr. Schwarz within ten days of his termination of employment following the Change in Control.

Upon a Change in Control each of Messrs. Lindstrom and Schwarz is and Messrs. Hicks, Rustand and Wilson were, entitled to an accelerated vesting and payment of stock options, restricted stock and target PBRSU awards granted to that executive officer. However, if the sum of any lump payments, the value of any accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards, and the value of any other benefits payable to the executive officer, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the IRC), then such lump sum payment or other benefit will be reduced to the largest amount that will not result in receipt by the executive officer of a parachute payment. Mr. Wilson stepped down from his position, effective as of January 14, 2015, and in accordance with the Wilson Separation Agreement dated February 2, 2015, Mr. Wilson is no longer entitled to this change of control benefit. Mr. Rustand stepped down from his position, effective June 1, 2015, and in accordance with the Rustand Separation Agreement dated May 29, 2015, Mr. Rustand is no longer entitled to this change of control benefit.

The Hicks Offer Letter entitled Mr. Hicks to compensation equal to two times Mr. Hicks’ then applicable base salary, in a lump sum, on the same basis and terms as would be the case for senior executives of the Company. Mr. Hicks stepped down from his position, effective February 25, 2016, and in accordance with the Hicks Separation Agreement, Mr. Hicks is no longer entitled to the change of control benefit.

The following table quantifies the estimated maximum amount of payments and benefits under the employment agreements, offer letters, the Company’s executive severance policy and agreements relating to awards granted under our 2006 Plan to which the NEOs currently employed by us would have been entitled upon termination of employment as of December 31, 2022 for the various reasons listed, as defined above, but without giving effect to any reduction for excess parachute payments.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
Pay Ratio Methodology
To determine the estimated ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay (the “Pay Ratio”) in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, we considered our entire employee population of approximately 24,000 employees who received paychecks during fiscal 2021 (excluding the CEO) and who were employed by us as of December 31, 20152021, however, we did not include 7,213 employees of Care Finders or VRI, our recently-acquired subsidiaries. We used compensation paid during fiscal year 2021 to determine our median employee, and annualized pay for those employees who commenced work during fiscal year 2021.

PROPOSAL 2 – ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer ProtectionRegulation S-K of the Securities Act, of 2010,this median employee was $14,027 in fiscal year 2022. Our median employee is a caregiver working part-time with 20 hours per week or less.

Heath Sampson, assuming he had been paid from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 in his role as disclosed in this proxy statement inCEO. In accordance with Instruction 10 to Item 402(u), we looked only to the SEC’sCEO serving in that position on the date we identified our median employee for fiscal year 2022, which was Mr. Sampson, and then annualized the compensation disclosure rules.

The Compensation Committee has consideredMr. Sampson received as CEO. Under this approach, the compensation that Mr. Sampson received as Chief Financial Officer prior to his appointment as CEO was not included. As such, the holdersCEO pay used for purposes of over 86.1%calculating the Pay Ratio does not represent the actual compensation Mr. Sampson received during fiscal year 2022.

PROPOSAL 3 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was the firm of KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee of the Board has selected KPMG as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements forNEOs (“Say on Pay”). Therefore, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Although we are not required to do so, we believe that it is appropriate for us to request stockholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment, though it may nevertheless retain KPMG, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for the stockholders’ rejection and reconsider the appointment. In addition, even if the stockholders ratify the selection of KPMG, the Audit Committee may in its discretion appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that a change is in the best interest of the Company.

The Company has been advised that representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if the representatives desire to do so. It is expected that the representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December31, 2016.


PROPOSAL 4 – APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

At the 2016 Annual Meeting, ourCompany’s stockholders are being asked at this annual meeting to express their preference as to whether an advisory vote to approve amendmentsthe compensation of the NEOs should be held every one, two or three years. Stockholders may also abstain from casting a vote on this proposal.

The Company has historically held an advisory vote on executive compensation every year, consistent with the frequency receiving the most votes cast by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held in 2017. The Board believes that an annual Say on Pay vote continues to The Providence Service Corporation 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amendedbe appropriate for the following reasons:
It helps the Board and restated June 30, 2015,Compensation Committee obtain contemporaneous and more direct feedback from stockholders regarding the “2006 Plan”) that are described below, including, among other things:

To increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan to 5,400,000;

To clarify that the individual award limits under the 2006 Plan (which appear under a heading “Section 162(m) Limits”) apply only to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code;

To increase the 2006 Plan’s limit of such cash-based awards to any individual to a level that will enable us to reward shareholder value creation and to offer market-based compensation consistent with our competitors; and

To extend the term of the Plan until May 25, 2026.

Information about communicating with the Board is included under the 2006 Plan.

In addition, we are proposing to add a clawback provision tocaption “Communication with the 2006 Plan that will allow us to recover compensation paid underBoard” above.

This Say on Frequency vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the 2006 Plan, if required by applicable law, including Section 10DCompany, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The Board and its Compensation Committee value the opinions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)stockholders, and therefore will take into account the Dodd-Frank and Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Section 304outcome of the Sarbanes-Oxleyvotes when considering the frequency of 2002, or our clawback policy. Furthermore, we are proposing to allow our Compensation Committee tofuture advisory votes on executive compensation. Nevertheless, the Board may decide at the time an awardthat it is granted under the 2006 Plan that if a change in control occurs the award may be assumed or substituted by the acquiring or surviving company, rather than automatic acceleration and cashout of the award. We are also proposing amendments that build upon existing provisions in the 2006 Plan to ensure that the value of outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan will not be diminished or enlarged following extraordinary corporate events that affect the Company’s common stock. Finally, we believe that the definition of change in control in the 2006 Plan is more limiting than is customary and denies our employees protection from a hostile takeover, and therefore we are proposing to amend the definition of change in control in the 2006 Plan to provide that a change in control will include a change in the majority of the Board within a consecutive two year period that is not approved by at least two-thirds of the incumbent board.

The 2006 Plan is intended to advance thebest interests of the Company and its stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation on a different frequency than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by providing forits stockholders or recommended by the grantBoard, and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of stock-based and other incentive awardsmaterial changes to enhancecompensation programs.

The next advisory vote on the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees, directors, consultants, advisors and others who are in a position (i) to make contributions to the successfrequency of the Company and its affiliates and (ii)advisory vote on executive compensation is expected to encourage such persons to take into account the long-term interestsoccur at our 2029 annual meeting of the Company and its stockholders through ownership of the Company’s common stock or securities with value tied to common stock. Accordingly, generally, we intend for awards under the 2006 to be limited to approximately 30 executives who participate in the Plan through the Holdco LTI Plan or the Senior Executive LTIP and to nonemployee directors (of whom there are currently 4). However, the 2006 Plan allows us the flexibility to grant or award stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, including restricted stock units, and performance awards, in cash or stock, to other eligible persons. Also, the 2006 Plan allows us to make awards that qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, in order for the Company to deduct compensation paid in any year to a “covered employee” that exceeds $1,000,000, such compensation must qualify as “performance-based.” Section 162(m) of the Code defines a covered employee as a company’s chief executive officer or any of such company’s three other most highly compensated executive officers who are named in the proxy statement, not including the chief financial officer.

stockholders.

On June 13, 2016, upon recommendation of our Compensation Committee, the Board adopted, subject to stockholder approval, amendments to the 2006 Plan to, among other things: (i) increase the share reserve by 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, so that a total of 5,400,000 ordinary shares of the Company (including awards outstanding as of the date of the Annual Meeting) may be issued under the 2006 Plan, (ii) clarify, consistent with the intent of the 2006 Plan, that individual stock-based and cash-based limits in the 2006 Plan apply only to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, (iii) increase the maximum cash amount that may be paid as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code to $10,000,000, (iv) extend the term of the 2006 Plan until May 25, 2026, (v) make certain changes to the change in control and adjustment provisions in the 2006 Plan and (vi) add clawback provisions to the 2006 Plan (collectively, the “2006 Plan Amendments”).

Without giving effect to these amendments, our stockholders have previously approved a pool of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2006 Plan, subject to adjustment upon certain changes of our capital structure. This increase of 1,000,000 shares is intended to meet our anticipated needs in the next three to five years and to successfully attract and retain the best possible candidates for employment with the Company during that time. Also, going forward, if we grant the full amount of the available shares under the 2006 Plan, either as full value shares or options or a mix, those grants will be counted on a one for one basis against the authorized share pool of the 2006 Plan (which is a departure from our prior practice). The 2006 Plan Amendments will also confirm that the 2006 Plan will not recycle shares underlying awards under the 2006 Plan that are withheld by the Company for participants’ taxes or tendered to the Company by participants to pay the exercise price for stock options. In 2015, we introduced the Holdco LTI Plan (as described above under “Executive Compensation—2015 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Long Term Incentives—Holdco LTI Plan”), which uses a significant portion of the shares currently available under the 2006 Plan. We believe an increase in shares under the 2006 Plan is appropriate and necessary for ongoing equity grants, as well as new hires, promotions and special situations, and also to position the Company for a second iteration of the Holdco LTI Plan at the end of the 2017 fiscal year when the current Holdco LTI Plan ends.

In addition, the 2006 Plan allows us to pay short-term or long-term cash awards, but, under the 2006 Plan, no cash award to any individual may exceed $750,000. This cash-based limit was included in the 2006 Plan for purposes of allowing certain compensation paid under the 2006 Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code (as indicated by the heading to that section in the 2006 Plan), and for that purpose the limit is required only for our executives who are “covered employees” under Section 162(m) of the Code for any completed tax year or who may become covered employees in any future tax year. However, the 2006 Plan applies this limit on cash awards to all participants in the 2006 Plan. We anticipate that this cash limit will be insufficient for our short-term and long-term compensation needs. For example, in 2015, we introduced the Senior Executive LTIP, a three year plan, which provides for cash awards to certain executives at the Company’s subsidiaries (as described above under “Executive Compensation—2015 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Long Term Incentives—Senior Executive Long Term Incentive Plan”). Therefore, in order to incentivize and retain our management team and raise this limit to a competitive level, we are proposing to increase the annual limit on cash awards under the 2006 Plan to $10 million and, as noted above, to clarify that it applies only to cash awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, which requires a limit in order to qualify for a federal income tax deduction. Similarly, while the 2006 Plan provides that no individual participant may receive more than 800,000 shares in any fiscal year, this too was a limit intended to apply to participants who are or may become “covered employees” under Section 162(m). Therefore, we are also proposing that this individual share limit apply only to stock-based awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) of the Code.

We anticipate that approval of the 2006 Plan Amendments will allow the Company, in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, to structure awards, including short-term or long-term cash bonuses, in a manner that is exempt as performance-based compensation from the $1,000,000 deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, and which we believe will be advantageous to the Company’s stockholders. However, even if our stockholders approve this Proposal 4, there can be no assurance that particular awards granted under the 2006 Plan will satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and be deductible, and nothing in this proposal precludes the Company from granting awards that do not satisfy those requirements. See below “—Federal Income Tax Consequences.”


We are seeking stockholder approval of the 2006 Plan Amendments in order to help position the Company to use the 2006 Plan for incentivizing, retaining and recruiting employees who we expect to assist the Company in achieving its corporate and financial goals, including increasing intrinsic value on a per share basis, and, as evidenced by the addition of the clawback provisions, to improve the Company’s ability to recover incentive compensation from participants if it is required by applicable law to do so or if the Compensation Committee otherwise determines, within its authorized discretion, to do so.

Equity Dilution and Burn Rate of the 2006 Plan

We believe that our recent share usage and equity dilution are within market range, and we expect this will continue be the case after the proposed increase of 1,000,000 shares to the 2006 Plan. Specifically, dilution from the 2006 Plan, without giving effect to the proposed share increase of the 2006 Plan Amendments, of 12.9% is below the peer group median of 15.2%. After giving effect to the share increase proposed in the 2006 Plan Amendments and assuming that the increased shares cover the Company’s needs for three to five years, the dilution from the 2006 Plan will be 19.6%, which is below the peer group 75th percentile of 19.9%. We have calculated this 19.6% dilution on the basis, as of the Record Date, of 14,826,760 shares of Stock outstanding (excluding treasury shares of 2,394,898), 467,267 stock options outstanding, 91,574 unvested restricted stock and performance restricted stock units (at maximum levels) outstanding, 15,140 vested but unissued RSUs and restricted stock awards outstanding, 1,337,605 shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan (from the previously approved pool of 4,400,000 shares) and 1,000,000 proposed additional shares to be available for grant. Additional detail about the percentage of these outstanding awards held by current and former management, respectively, is shown in the table below.

Actual future equity dilution under the 2006 Plan will be impacted by the following factors, among others:

Summary of the 2006 Plan as amended by the 2006 Plan Amendments

The following summary of the material features of the 2006 Plan as modified by the 2006 Plan Amendments (the “Amended 2006 Plan”) in this Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by the language in the Amended 2006 Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Stockholders should read the Amended 2006 Plan in its entirety.

Administration

The Compensation Committee administers the Amended 2006 Plan and has discretionary authority to operate, manage and administer the Amended 2006 Plan in accordance with its terms. The Compensation Committee determines participants who will be granted awards under the Amended 2006 Plan, the size and types of awards, the terms and conditions of awards and the form and content of the award agreements representing awards. The Compensation Committee is authorized to establish, administer and waive terms, conditions and performance goals of outstanding awards and to accelerate the vesting or exercisability of awards, in each case, subject to limitations contained in the Amended 2006 Plan. In the case of any award intended, in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, to be eligible for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code the Administrator will exercise its discretion consistent with qualifying the award for that exception. The Compensation Committee interprets the Amended 2006 Plan and award agreements and has authority to correct any defects, supply any omissions and reconcile any inconsistencies in the Amended 2006 Plan and/or any award agreements. The Compensation Committee’s decisions and actions concerning the Amended 2006 Plan are final and conclusive. References to Administrator in this summary of the material features of the Amended 2006 Plan mean the Compensation Committee and persons delegated responsibilities under the Amended 2006 Plan.

Within the limitations of the Amended 2006 Plan and applicable law, the Compensation Committee may delegate (i) to one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine; (ii) to one or more officers of the Company the power to grant rights or options to the extent permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law; (iii) to one or more officers of the Company the authority to allocate other awards among such persons (other than officers of the Company) eligible to receive awards under the Amended 2006 Plan as such delegated officer or officers determine consistent with such delegation; provided, that with respect to any delegation described in this clause (iii) the Compensation Committee (or a properly delegated member or members of such Committee) will have authorized the issuance of a specified number of shares of common stock under such awards and will have specified the consideration, if any, to be paid therefore; and (iv) to such employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate.

Limits on Awards

The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the Amended 2006 Plan, taking into account awards outstanding on the date of the Annual Meeting and the increase of 1,000,000 shares from the 2006 Plan Amendments, may not exceed, in the aggregate, 4,400,000 shares. Of the aggregate number of shares eligible for issuance under the Amended 2006 Plan, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock option (“ISOs”) is 800,000. The Amended 2006 Plan provides that for purposes of determining the number of shares of common stock available for delivery under the Amended 2006 Plan, generally, any shares subject to an award or portion of an award that is terminated, surrendered or cancelled will be available for future awards under the Amended 2006 Plan. However, shares used to pay the exercise price or required tax withholding for an award under the Amended 2006 Plan will not be available for future awards under the Amended 2006 Plan (e.g., when a stock option or SAR is exercised and settled in shares, the full number of shares covered by the exercised portion of the stock options or SAR will be deducted from the shares available for delivery under the Amended 2006 Plan). Generally, any shares of common stock subject to awards, including stock options and SARs will be counted against the authorized share limit of the Amended 2006 Plan as one share for every one share subject to such award.

To the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code, if the Company or a subsidiary acquires or combines with another company, any awards that may be granted under the Amended 2006 Plan in substitution or exchange for outstanding stock options or other awards of the other company will not reduce the shares available for issuance under the Amended 2006 Plan. Common stock delivered by the Company under the Amended 2006 Plan may be authorized but unissued common stock or previously issued common stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of common stock will be delivered under the Amended 2006 Plan.


Under the Amended 2006 Plan, taking into account the 2006 Plan Amendments, for any awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) of the Code, (A) the maximum number of stock options, SARs or other awards based solely on the increase in the value of common stock that a participant may receive in any fiscal year is 800,000; (B) a participant may receive a maximum 800,000 shares under other stock-based awards in any fiscal year; and (C) the maximum dollar value that may be earned in connection with the grant of a cash-based award during any fiscal year may not exceed $10,000,000.

Participation

The Administrator may grant awards under the Amended 2006 Plan to employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates (“participants”). However, only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive ISOs under the Amended 2006 Plan.

Rules Applicable to Awards Granted Under the Amended 2006 Plan

The Administrator determines the terms of all awards, subject to the limitations provided under the Amended 2006 Plan. All awards are evidenced by an agreement approved by the Administrator. By accepting any award granted under the Amended 2006 Plan, the participant agrees to the terms of the award and the Amended 2006 Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Amended 2006 Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified under the Amended 2006 Plan, as determined by the Administrator.

Term ofappointment, though it may nevertheless retain KPMG, the Amended 2006 Plan. The Amended 2006 PlanAudit Committee will become effective upon stockholder approval and will continue in effect until all shares ofinvestigate the common stock available under the Amended 2006 Plan are delivered and all restrictions on those shares have lapsed, unless the Amended 2006 Plan is terminated earlier by the Administrator. No awards may be made under the Amended 2006 Plan after May 25, 2026, but previously granted awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms.

Transferability. ISOs and other awards under the Amended 2006 Plan generally may not be sold or otherwise transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or the designated beneficiary of a deceased participant. During the participant’s lifetime the Administrator may permit awards other than ISOs and any related SARs to be transferred. In no event may awards be transferred for consideration.

Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may providereasons for the paymentstockholders’ rejection and reconsider the appointment. In addition, even if the stockholders ratify the selection of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to common stock subject to an award. The Amended 2006 Plan also provides that any dividend equivalent rights granted in connection with restricted stock, stock units, including restricted stock units, and performance awards will be held and will not be paid untilKPMG, the underlying restricted stock, stock units, including restricted stock units, and performance awards vests. However, no dividend equivalent rights may be paid with respect to stock options or SARS.

Section 409A of the Code. Awards under the Amended 2006 Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. If any provision of the Amended 2006 Plan or an award agreement contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or could cause an award to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Amended 2006 Plan or award will be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Amended 2006 Plan or any award granted thereunder to the contrary, no acceleration may occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Amended 2006 Plan or an award granted there under to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Additionally, notwithstanding any provisions of the Amended 2006 Plan or an applicable award agreement to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to any award granted under the Amended 2006 Plan to a “specified employee” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) prior to the six-month anniversary of the employee’s separation of service to the extent such six-month delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.


Stock Options and SARs

A stock option is the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock in the future at a specified exercise price and subject to the other terms and conditions specified in the option agreement and the Amended 2006 Plan. SARs may be granted under the Amended 2006 Plan alone or together with specific stock options granted under the Amended 2006 Plan. SARs are awards that, upon their exercise, give a participant the right to receive from the Company an amount equal to (1) the number of shares for which the SAR is exercised, multiplied by (2) the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date over the grant price of the SAR.

Duration of Options and SARs. The latest date on which an option or a SAR may be exercised is the tenth anniversary of the date the option (fifth anniversary in the case of an ISO granted to a ten percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) or SAR was granted, or such earlier date as may have been specified by the Administrator at the time the option or SAR was granted.
Vesting. The Administrator will fix the term during which each stock option or SAR may be exercised, but no stock option or SAR may be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of its date of grant. The Administrator may accelerate vesting of stock options and SARs.

Time and Manner of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, an award requiring exercise by the holder will not be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator) signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by a payment required under the award.

Exercise Price. The exercise price (or in the case of a SAR, the base price above which appreciation is to be measured) of each award requiring exercise is 100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a ten percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock subject to the award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or other events described in Section 7 (d)(1) and (2) of the Amended 2006 Plan), the terms of any outstanding awards that are options or SARs may not be amended to reduce the exercise price without stockholder approval.

Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price of any award granted under the Amended 2006 Plan may be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock that have been outstanding for a least six months and that have a fair market value equal to the exercise price or any other method that may be approved by the Administrator, such as a cashless broker-assisted exercise, that complies with law.

Restricted Stock and Other Awards not Requiring Exercise

Restricted stock awards are shares of the Company’s common stock that are awarded to a participant subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions established by the Administrator. A recipient of restricted stock has the rights of a stockholder during the restriction period, including the right to receive any dividends, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the restricted stock, unless the Administrator provides otherwise in the grant. A restricted stock unit is a unit, equivalent in value to a share of common stock, credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in our books to a participant’s account, which is settled in stock or cash upon or after vesting.

Consideration. In general, awards that do not require exercise may be made in exchange for such lawful consideration, including services, as the Administrator determines.

Vesting. Restricted stock is granted subject to such restrictions on the full enjoyment of the shares as the Administrator specifies; which restrictions may be based on the passage of time, satisfaction of performance criteria, or the occurrence of one or more events; and will lapse separately or in combination upon such conditions and at such time or times, in installments or otherwise, as the Administrator specifies. The Administrator fixes the term during which each restricted stock award vests.


Performance Compensation Awards

The CompensationAudit Committee may also designate share-based or cash-based awards under the Amended 2006 Plan as “performance compensation awards” intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee has sole discretion to select the length of any applicable performance periods, the types of performance compensation awards to be issued, the applicable performance criteria and performance goals, and the kinds and/or levels of performance goals that are to apply.

The performance criteria will be established by the Administrator, other than the mere continuation of a participant’s employment or the mere passage of time, and, for purposes of awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code will mean an objectively determinable measure of performance relating to or based upon any or any combination or component of the following (measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices, and determined either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues; assets; costs; earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return on equity, investment, capital or assets; one or more operating ratios; borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock price; stockholder return or stockholder value; sales of particular products or services; customer acquisition or retention; safety, health or environmental affairs performance; compliance; acquisitions and divestitures (in whole or in part); joint ventures and strategic alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) or refinancings. Any performance criteria and any targets with respect thereto determined by the Administrator need not be based upon an increase, a positive or improved result or avoidance of loss. To the extent consistent with the requirements for satisfying the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator may provide in the case of any award intended to qualify for such exception that one or more of the performance criteria applicable to such award will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, acquisitions or dispositions) occurring during the performance period that affect the applicable performance criteria.

Deferred Share Units

A deferred share unit is a unit credited to a participant’s account in our books that represents the right to receive a share of the Company’s common stock or the equivalent cash value of a share of common stock upon a predetermined settlement date. Deferred share units may be granted by the Administrator independent of other awards or compensation.

Events Affecting Outstanding Awards

Events affecting outstanding awards include termination of employment, change in control, termination of awards and change in and distributions with respect to the Company’s common stock.

Termination of Employment. In general, the treatment of an award upon termination of an employee participant’s employment will be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the document by which the award is granted, subject to the authority of the Administrator under the Amended 2006 Plan to modify or waive terms and conditions of the award.

If the termination of employment is by reason of disability (as determined by the Administrator) or death subject to certain limitations of the Amended 2006 Plan and/or the award agreement: (A) stock options and SARs held by the participant or any permitted transferees of the participant will immediately become exercisable in full and will remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the date on which the participant’s employment ceased as a result of disability or the third anniversary of the date on which the participant’s employment ceased as a result of death, and (y) the date on which the award would have terminated had the participant remained an employee and (B) the participant’s unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units will immediately vest and become free of restrictions. If vesting or exercisability of an award is conditioned upon satisfaction of performance criteria that have not been satisfied at the time the participant’s employment terminates by reason of disability or death, the award will terminate unless the Administrator exercises its authority under the Amended 2006 Plan to waive or modify the conditions of the award.


If the termination of employment is for any reason other than disability or death of the participant: (A) stock options and SARs held by the participant or the participant’s permitted transferees that were not exercisable immediately prior to cessation of employment will terminate immediately. Each such stock option and SAR that were so exercisable will remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the date which is three months after the date on which the participant’s employment ceased and (y) the date on which the Award would have terminated had the participant remained an employee. The Company will have the right to reacquire the participant’s unvested restricted stock at the lower of the participant’s original purchase price, if any, for such common stock, and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of termination. If there was no purchase price, then the restricted stock will be forfeited. Restricted stock units will be forfeited.

Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator upon the grant of an award under the Amended 2006 Plan, immediately prior to a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Amended 2006 Plan), but subject to any contrary law or rule or provision of an award agreement that is in effect under the Amended 2006 Plan prior to the change in control: (a) all outstanding stock options and SARs will become fully exercisable; (b) all restrictions applicable to outstanding restricted stock awards will lapse and (c) the delivery of shares of common stock deliverable under all outstanding awards of stock units will be accelerated, and the shares will be delivered. If vesting or exercisability of an award, or delivery of stock under an award, is conditioned upon satisfaction of performance criteria (as defined in the Amended 2006 Plan) that have not been satisfied at the time of the change in control, except as otherwise provided upon grant of the award, vesting, exercisability and delivery of common stock will not be accelerated by the change in control unless the Administrator exercises its authority under the Amended 2006 Plan to modify or waive terms and conditions of the award. The Administrator may also provide that any options or other awards cannot be exercised after or will be terminated after a change in control transaction. However, depending on the nature of the change in control transaction, payment of certain awards may be delayed to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

If the change in control is one in which holders of the Company’s common stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Administrator may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all awards, equal in the case of each affected award to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market value of one share of common stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of common stock subject to the award, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price, if any, under the award (or in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of common stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines.

Upon the grant of any award under the 2006 Plan, the Administrator may in its discretion provideappoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that (or to reserve the discretion to later determine whether) a change is in control will result in assumptionthe best interest of the award byCompany.
The Company has been advised that representatives of KPMG will be present at the acquiring or surviving company or replacementAnnual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if the representatives desire to do so. It is expected that the representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Other Forfeiture Provisions

A participant will be required to forfeit and disgorge any awards granted or vested and all gains earned or accrued due to the exercise of stock options or SARs or the sale of any common stock acquired from equity awards to the extent required by applicable law, including Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 10D of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions as the Administrator determines is necessary, advisable or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of a termination for cause and/or violation of post-employment restrictive covenants.

Amendment and Termination

The Administrator at any time or times may amend the Amended 2006 Plan or any outstanding award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Amended 2006 Plan as to any future grants of awards. However, the Administrator may not, without a participant’s consent, alter the terms of an award so as to affect adversely the participant’s right under the award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Amended 2006 Plan or the Administrator expressly reserved the right to do so at the time of the award. The Administrator may not, without stockholder approval, (i) materially increase the number of securities that may be issued under the Amended 2006 Plan, or (ii) materially modify the requirements for participation under the Amended 2006 Plan. Any other amendment to the Amended 2006 Plan is conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law or the applicable listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, as determined by the Administrator.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Implications

The following is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to certain awards granted under the 2006 Plan, based upon the federal income tax laws in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, and the exact tax consequences may vary depending on each participant’s particular situation.

Options and SARs. A recipient of a stock option or SAR will not have taxable income upon the grant of the stock option or SAR. Upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option or SAR, a participant generally will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price. Any gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be a capital gain or loss. The tax basis of the shares generally will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date.

Upon the exercise of an ISO, the acquisition of shares will not result in taxable income to the participant, except possibly for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. The gain or loss recognized by the participant on a later sale or other disposition of the shares will either be long-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income, depending upon whether the participant holds the shares for the legally required period of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise. If the shares are not held for the legally required period, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (i) the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price, or (ii) the difference between the sales price and the exercise price, and the balance of the participant’s gain, if any, will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain, as the case may be.

Restricted Stock. A recipient of restricted stock will not have taxable income upon the grant of the restricted stock, unless the participant elects to be taxed at the time the restricted stock is granted rather than when it becomes vested. The shares of restricted stock will generally be subject to tax upon vesting as ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting less the amount paid for the shares, if any.

RestrictedStockUnits and PerformanceShareUnits. A participant is not deemed to receive taxable income when a restricted stock unit or performance share unit is granted. When the awards (and dividend equivalents, if any) are settled and paid, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of shares received less the amount paid for the awards, if any.


The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount recognized as ordinary income by the participant in connection with an award. The Company generally is not entitled to a tax deduction relating to amounts that are taxable as capital gain to a participant. However, Section 162(m) of the Code can limit the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to covered employees. Under Code Section 162(m), the general rule is that annual compensation paid to any of these covered employees will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1 million. However, we can preserve the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million if the compensation qualifies as “performance-based compensation” by complying with certain conditions imposed by the Section 162(m) of the Code, including the establishment of a maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted to any one employee during one fiscal year. The rules and regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Code, however, are complicated and subject to change from time to time, sometimes with retroactive effect. In addition, a number of requirements must be met in order for particular compensation to so qualify. As such, there can be no assurance that any compensation awarded or paid under the Amended 2006 Plan will be deductible under all circumstances.

Option History

From the inception of the 2006 Plan through the Record Date, stock options granted under the 2006 Plan include the stock options shown in the table below (but exclude options that have been cancelled). Except as indicated below, no other person has been granted 5% or more of the total amount of stock options granted under the 2006 Plan.

THE PROVIDENCE SERVICE CORPORATION

2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

(as amended

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and restated effective [July 27], 2016)

1.            DEFINED TERMS

Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, definesAdjustments

In addition to the terms usedfinancial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PlanUnited States (“GAAP”), this Proxy Statement includes EBITDA and sets forthAdjusted EBITDA for the Company, which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP but that we use to measure the Company’s performance and management’s performance against pre-established performance targets for purposes of determining payouts under our STI. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before: (1) interest expense, net; (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before certain operational rulesitems, including (as applicable): (1) stock-based compensation; (2) cash settled equity; (3) equity in net (gain) loss of investee, net of tax; (4) restructuring and related costs, including severance and organizational consolidation costs and professional services fees; (5) certain transaction and integration costs; (6) certain settlement related costs; and (7) COVID-19 related costs. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude certain expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to those terms.

2.            PURPOSE

The Plan has been establishedother companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors and other interested parties to advance the interestsgain a better understanding of the Companyfactors and its stockholders by providing fortrends affecting the grant to Participantsongoing operations of Stock-basedour business and other incentive Awards to (i) enhancehow actual payouts under our STI were determined in 2022 and how they fit within the Company’s broader executive compensation program. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. As a result, our net income or loss in equity investee, net of tax is excluded from these measures, as we and our management do not have the ability to attractmanage the venture in which we have made our investment, allocate resources within the venture, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and retain Employees, directors, consultants, advisors and others who are inexclude expenses that may have a position to make contributions to the successmaterial impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of the Company and its Affiliates and (ii) encourage Participants to take into account the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders through ownership of shares of Stock or the potential to receive performance-based cash bonuses. The Plannon-GAAP financial measures is now being amended and restated effective upon its approval by the Company’s stockholders at their annual meeting in 2016, principally, in order to increase the authorized share reserve under the Plan, increase the limit on cash-based awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) and extend the term until May 25, 2026.

3.            ADMINISTRATION

(a)     Generally. The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award (including applicable Performance Periods and Performance Criteria); prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In the case of any Awardnot intended to be eligibleconsidered in isolation from or as a substitute for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), the Administrator will only exercise its discretion to the limited extent consistent with qualifying the Award for that exception. Determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all parties.

(b)     Specifically. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator’s general authority to administer the Plan shall include, but not be limited to, exercising any and all of the following powers in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i)     to determine, from time to time, the fair market value of the Stock subject to the Plan or any Awards;

(ii)     to determine, and to set forth in Award agreements, the terms and conditions of all Awards, including what type or combination of types of Awards shall be granted, any applicable exercise or purchase price, the installments and conditions under which an Award shall become vested (which may be based on performance), terminated, expired, cancelled, or replaced, and the circumstances for vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and other restrictions and limitations;

(iii)     to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award agreement, to determine the meaning of their terms, to correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or any Award agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan or an Award fully effective, and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and procedures relating to the Plan and its administration;

(iv)     to interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms in any fashion it deems to be appropriate, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of the Plan or Award agreements. (with the Administrator’s prior exercise of its discretionary authority not obligating it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter);


(v)     to require, as a condition precedent to the grant, vesting, exercise, settlement, and/or issuance of Stock pursuant to any Award, that a Participant agree to execute a general release of claims (in any form that the Committee may require, in its sole discretion, which form may include any other provisions,e.g. confidentiality and restrictions on competition, that are found in general claims release agreements that the Company utilizes or expects to utilize);

(vi)     in the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, to implement paperless documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system;

(vii)     subject to applicable law and the restrictions set forth in the Plan, to delegate administrative functions associated with the Plan to individuals who are directors or Employees; and

(viii)     to make all determinations and to take all other actions that the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable to administer the Plan or to effectuate its purposes.

(c)     Local Law Adjustments and Sub-plans. To facilitate the making of any grant of an Award under this Plan, the Administrator may adopt rules and provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are located within the United States, foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Company or any Affiliate outside of the United States of America as the Administrator may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, taxes, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with the customs and requirements of particular countries. The Company may adopt sub-plans and establish escrow accounts and trusts, and settle Awards in cash in lieu of shares, as may be appropriate, required or applicable to particular locations and countries.

(d)     Action by Committee. The Administrator is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to the Administrator by an officer or other Employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

(e)     Claims Limitations Periods.Any Participant who believes he or she is being denied any benefit or right under the Plan or under any Award may file a written claim with the Administrator. Any claim must be delivered to the Administrator within forty-five (45) days after the specific event giving rise to the claim. Untimely claims will not be processed and shall be deemed denied. The Administrator or its designee, will notify the Participant of its decision in writing as soon as administratively practicable. Claims not responded to by the Administrator in writing within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date the written claim is delivered to the Administrator shall be deemed denied.

(f)     Deference to Committee Determinations. The Administrator’s interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan, or of any Award or Award agreement, and all determinations the Administrator makes pursuant to the Plan shall be final, binding, and conclusive on any and all affected parties. The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly made in bad faith or materially affected by fraud.


(g)     No Liability; Indemnification. Neither the Board nor any Administrator, nor any person acting at the direction of the Board or the Committee, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award or any Award agreement. The Company shall pay or reimburse anyone acting as the Administrator, as well as any director, Employee, or consultant who in good faith takes action on behalf of the Plan, for all expenses incurred with respect to the Plan, and to the full extent allowable under applicable law shall indemnify each and every one of them for any claims, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of their good faith performance of duties on behalf of the Plan. The Company and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, obtain liability insurance for this purpose.

(h)     Expenses.The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne jointly and severally by the Company and its Affiliates.

4.            LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

(a)      Number of Shares. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,400,000 shares. If any Award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or results in any Stock not being issued, or if any shares of Stock subject to an Award are repurchased by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(a)(2)(B) of this Plan, the shares of Stock covered by such Award that are repurchased or not paid out shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding, the following shares of Stock shall not be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan: shares not issued or delivered as the result of the net settlement of SARs, and shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price or any withholding taxes related to an Award. SARs or other Awards that may be settled in cash only will not reduce the number of shares available for award under the Plan. The limit set forth in this Section 4(a) shall be construed to comply with Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder, with not more than 800,000 shares to be awarded in the form of ISOs granted after July 23, 2014. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder, and with other applicable legal requirements (including applicable stock exchange requirements), Stock issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced, or adjusted in connection with the acquisition will not reduce the number of shares available for Awards under the Plan.

(b)      Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the Plan.

(c)      Section 162(m) Limits. For Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), (x) the maximum number of shares of Stock for which Stock Options may be granted to any person in any fiscal year and the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in any fiscal year will each be 800,000, (y) the maximum number of shares subject to other Stock-based Awards granted to any person in any fiscal year will be 800,000 shares and (z) the maximum amount payable under cash-based Awards granted to any person in any fiscal year will be U.S. $10,000,000. The foregoing provisions will be construed in a manner consistent with Section 162(m).

5.            ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

The Administrator will select Participants from among those key Employees, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company or its Affiliates and others who, in the opinion of the Administrator, are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its Affiliates. Eligibility for ISOs is limited to employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code.

6.            RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

(a)All Awards

(1)      Award Provisions.The Administrator will determine the terms of all Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein. By accepting any Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to the terms of the Award and the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.


(2)      Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after May 25, 2026, but previously granted Awards may continue beyond that datemost directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with their terms.

(3)      Transferability. Neither ISOs nor other Awards may be transferred other than by will or byGAAP. We urge you to review the lawsreconciliations of descent and distribution (other than transfersour non-GAAP financial measures to the Company pursuantmost directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to Section 7(a)(2)(B)), and during a Participant’s lifetime ISOs (and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides), other non-transferable Awards requiring exercise may be exercised only by the Participant.

(4)      Dividend Equivalents, Etc.The Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividendsrely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to any Award other than an Option or SAR.

(5)      Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as giving any person the right to continued employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or Affiliate to the Participant.

(6)      Section 162(m).This Section 6(a)(6) applies to any Performance Award intended to qualify as performance-based for the purposes of Section 162(m) other than a Stock Option or SAR. In the case of any Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(6) applies, the Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with qualifying the Award for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m). With respect to such Performance Awards, the Administrator will preestablish, in writing, one or more specific Performance Criteria and Performance Period, no later than 90 days after the commencement of the Performance Period of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is requiredof our management.

Notes to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section 162(m)). Once established for a Performance Period, the Performance Criteria shall not be amended or otherwise modifiedReconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA:
1.Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation provided to the extent such amendment or modification would cause the compensation payable pursuant to the Award to fail to constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). Following the completion of a Performance Period,employees and prior to grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award, as the case may be, the Administrator will certify whether the applicable Performance Criteria have been attained and, if so, to calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Awards earned for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria, and such determination will be final and conclusive. The Administrator shall then determine the number of shares or dollar value (as applicable) of each Participant’s Award based on the Performance Criteria for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion, if and when it deems appropriate.

(7)      Clawbacks.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all Awards (whenever granted) will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that is both in effect at any time while the Award is outstanding, and established in order to comply with (i) the listing standards of any securities exchange, trading market or automated quotation system on which the Company’s securities are listed, quoted or traded, (ii) Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or (iii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other Applicable Law.Any Participant who receives and accepts an Award on or after the effective date of this restatement shall be deemed automatically to have consented and agreed to the foregoing clawback terms.In addition, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award agreement as the Administrator determines is necessary, advisable or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of a termination for “cause” and/or violation of post-Employment restrictive covenants. No recovery of compensation under any clawback policy or provisions imposed under this paragraph will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or its Affiliates, including an Award agreement.


(8)     Section 409A of the Code.

(i)      Awards under the Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. However, the Company shall not be liable to any Participant or other holder of an Award with respect to any Award-related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

(ii)      If any provision of the Plan or an Award agreement contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or could cause an Award to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Plan or Award shall be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Administrator may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A or the regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder.

(iii)      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any Award granted hereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any Award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an Award granted hereunder to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(iv)      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any applicable Award agreement to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to any Award granted under this Plan to a “specified employee” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) prior to the six-month anniversary of the employee’s separation of service to the extent such six-month delay in payment is required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Stock Options and SARs

(1)      Duration of Options and SARs.The latest date on which an Option or a SAR may be exercised will be the tenth anniversary of the date the Option (fifth anniversary in the case of an ISO granted to a ten percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) or SAR was granted, or such earlier date as may have been specified by the Administrator at the time the Option or SAR was granted.

(2)      Vesting. The Administrator shall fix in an Award agreement the term during which each Stock Option or SAR may be exercised, but no Stock Option or SAR shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of its date of grant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may determine with respect to an Award that the date on which any outstanding Stock Option or SAR or any portion thereof is exercisable shall be advanced to an earlier date or dates designated by the Administrator in accordance with such terms and subject to such conditions, if any, as the Administrator shall specify.

(3)      Time and Manner of Exercise.Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, an Award requiring exercise by the holder will not be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator) signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award. If the Award is exercised by any person other than the Participant, the Administrator may require satisfactory evidence that the person exercising the Award has the right to do so.

(4)      Exercise Price. The exercise price (or in the case of a SAR, the base price above which appreciation is to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise shall be 100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the fair market value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, or other events described in Section 7(d)(1) and (2)), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Options or SARS in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without stockholder approval.


(5)      Payment Of Exercise Price.Where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied by payment, the Administrator may determine the required or permitted forms of payment, subject to the following: all payments will be by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, or, if so permitted by the Administrator and if legally permissible, (i) through the delivery of shares of Stock that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the Administrator approves a shorter period) and that have a fair market value equal to the exercise price, (ii) through a broker-assisted exercise program acceptable to the Administrator, (iii) by the Participant’s surrender of shares of Stock otherwise deliverable by the Company pursuant to the Award being exercised, (iv) by other means acceptable to the Administrator, or (v) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. The delivery of shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (i) above may be accomplished either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe.

(c)      Restricted Stock and Other Awards Not Requiring Exercise

(1)      Consideration in General. In general, Awards that do not require exercise may be made in exchange for such lawful consideration, including services, as the Administrator determines. Any purchase price payable by a Participant to the Company for Stock under an Award not requiring exercise shall be paid in cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, through the delivery of shares of Stock that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the Administrator approves a shorter period) and that have a fair market value equal to the purchase price, if and to the extent permitted by the Administrator, by delivery to the Company of a promissory note of the Participant, payable on such terms as are specified by the Administrator, or by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment.

(2)      Vesting. Restricted Stock or Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units) representing a future right to receive Stock shall be granted subject to such restrictions on the full enjoyment of the shares as the Administrator shall specify; which restrictions may be based on the passage of time, satisfaction of performance criteria, or the occurrence of one or more events; and shall lapse separately or in combination upon such conditions and at such time or times, in installments or otherwise, as the Administrator shall specify. The Administrator shall fix in an Award agreement the term during which each Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units vests.

(d)      Deferred Share Units.The Administrator may defer, or allow a Participant to elect to defer, the exercising of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Stock under any Award or any action permitted under the Plan to prevent the Company or any Affiliate from being denied a federal income tax deduction with respect to any Award (other than an ISO), in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii). In such case, payment of such deferred amounts must be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the first date on which the Company and/or Affiliate anticipates or reasonably should anticipate that, if the payment were made on such date, the Company’s and/or Affiliate’s deduction with respect to such payment would no longer be restricted due to the application of Section 409A of the Code.

7.            EVENTS AFFECTING OUTSTANDING AWARDS

(a)      Termination of Employment. In general, the treatment of an Award upon termination of a Participant’s Employment will be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the document or documents by which the Award is granted, subject to the authority of the Administrator under Section 3 of the Plan to modify or waive terms and conditions of the Award. Except as otherwise so determined by the Administrator or otherwise explicitly provided herein, the following will apply in the event of termination of a Participant’s Employment:

(1)      Disability or Death. If the termination of Employment is by reason of Disability (as determined by the Administrator) or death:

(A) Except as provided in subparagraph 7(a)(1)(C) below, or in an Award Agreement, Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or any permitted transferees of the Participant will immediately become exercisable in full and will remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the date on which the Participant’s Employment ceased as a result of Disability or the third anniversary of the date on which the Participant’s Employment ceased as a result of death, and (y) the date on which the Award would have terminated had the Participant remained an Employee.


(B) Except as provided in subparagraph 7(a)(1)(C) below, the Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and become free of restrictions.

(C) If vesting or exercisability of an Award, or the payment of cash pursuant to the Award, is conditioned upon satisfaction of Performance Criteria that have not been satisfied at the time the Participant’s Employment terminates, the Award will terminate unless the Administrator exercises its authority under Section 3 to waive or modify the conditions of the Award.

(2)      Other Termination of Employment. If termination of Employment is for any reason other than disability (as determined by the Administrator) or death of the Participant:

(A) Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees that were not exercisable immediately prior to cessation of Employment will terminate immediately. Each such Stock Option and SAR that were so exercisable will remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the date which is three months after the date on which the Participant’s Employment ceased and (y) the date on which the Award would have terminated had the Participant remained an Employee. Nevertheless, if there is a blackout periodnon-employee directors under the Company’s insider trading policy or applicable law (or an Administrator-imposed blackout period) that prohibits the buying or selling of shares of Stock during any part of the ten day period before the expiration of any Option or SAR based on the termination of a Participant’s Employment, the period for exercising the Option or SAR shall be extended until ten days beyond when such blackout period ends. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or within an applicable Award agreement, no Option or SAR shall ever be exercisable after the expiration date of its original term as set forth in the Award agreement.

(B) The Company will have the right to reacquire the Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock at the lower of the Participant’s original purchase price, if any, for such Stock, and the fair market value of the Stock on the date of termination. If there was no purchase price, then the Restricted Stock will be forfeited. Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited.

(b)      Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control:

(1)      Acceleration of Awards. Except as otherwise provided below: (i) Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees will immediately become exercisable in full, (ii) the Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock will immediately vest and become free of restrictions, and (iii) the delivery of shares of Stock deliverable under each outstanding Award of Stock Units will be accelerated, and such shares will be delivered.

Upon the grant of any Award after [July 27, 2016], the Administrator shall have the authority to provide that (or to reserve the discretion to later determine whether) a Change in Control shall result in assumption of the Award by the acquiring or surviving company, replacement of the Award with a substantially equivalent award, or cancellation of the Award in exchange2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan

(2)      Performance Criteria.If vesting or exercisability of an Award, or delivery of Stock or payment of cash under an Award, is conditioned upon satisfaction of Performance Criteria that have not been satisfied at the time of the Change in Control, except as otherwise provided upon grant of the Award, vesting, exercisability and delivery of Stock or payment of cash will not be accelerated by the Change in Control unless the Administrator exercises its authority under Section 3 to waive or modify the conditions of the Award. Any share of Stock delivered as a result of such a waiver or modification may, in the discretion of the Administrator, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect the Performance Criteria to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted Stock the vesting of which is conditioned upon satisfaction of Performance Criteria, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Change in Control be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.


(3)      Cash-Out of Awards. If the Change in Control is one in which holders of Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Administrator may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Stock-based Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market value of one share of Stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price, if any, under the Award (or in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines.

(4)      Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. In the case of an Award providing for the payment of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any payment of such deferred compensation by reason of a Change in Control shall be made only if the Change in Control is one described in subsection (a)(2)(A)(v) of Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and shall be paid consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. If any deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable by reason of a Change in Control cannot be paid by reason of the immediately preceding sentence, it shall be paid as soon as practicable thereafter consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator.

(c)      Termination of Awards. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, each Award other than Restricted Stock (which, unless subject to Performance Criteria which have not been satisfied, will be treated in the same manner as other shares of Stock) will terminate upon consummation of a Covered Transaction, provided that, if the Covered Transaction follows a Change in Control or would give rise to a Change in Control, no Stock Option or SAR, other than an Award that is cashed out, will be so terminated prior to the Participant’s having been given adequate opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, to exercise Awards that are exercisable or become exercisable as a result of the Change in Control.

(d)      Change in and Distributions With Respect to Stock

(1)      Basic Adjustment Provisions.

Unless the Administrator determines that another kind or form of adjustment is equitable and appropriate under this Section 7(d) (or required in accordance with any other provision of the Plan), subject to any required action by shareholders of the Company, in connection with any event that is a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, split-up, spin-off, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction, any Award shall be deemed to pertain to the securities or other property, including cash, to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award would have been entitled to receive in connection with such event.

(2)      Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator will also make adjustments of the type described in Section 7(d)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(d)(1), including any extraordinary cash dividend paid on shares of Stock (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a regular cash dividend) or any other unusual or infrequently occurring event, if the Administrator determines, in its discretion, that such adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan and to preserve the value of Awards made hereunder, having due regard for the qualification of ISOs under Section 422 of the Code, for the performance-based compensation rules of Section 162(m), where applicable, and for the deferred compensation rules of Section 409A of the Code.


(3)      Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.

The Administrator may not, without stockholder approval, (i) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan or (ii) materially modify the requirements for participation under the Plan.

9.            OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
