RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Committee and/or the Board has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant that will provide the Participant the opportunity to acquire a target number of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) upon the settlement of performance-based restricted stock units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (“Performance Stock Units”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
|
|
1. |
Grant of Performance Stock Unit Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the above-designated target number of Performance Stock Units (the “Target Performance Stock Units”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, "Employer" means the Subsidiary that employs the Participant (to the extent the Participant is not directly employed by the Company). Each Performance Stock Unit represents a contractual right to receive one (1) Share upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The actual number of Performance Stock Units that may become vested and settled pursuant to this Agreement will depend on the Company’s achievement of the performance metrics defined and reflected in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Performance Metrics") during the Performance Period. The number of Target Performance Stock Units shall be equally apportioned to each Performance Metric. |
|
|
2. |
Vesting and Forfeiture of Performance Stock Units. |
|
|
(a) |
Normal Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Award shall vest with respect to the Target Performance Stock Units, if any, as determined pursuant to the terms of Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this Agreement; provided that (except as set forth in Section 3 below) the Award shall not vest with respect to any Performance Stock Units under the terms of this Agreement unless the Participant remains in Service from the Grant Date through the date on which the Committee determines the actual number of Performance Stock Units that vest pursuant to the achievement of the Performance Metrics (the “Certification Date”). The Committee shall determine the actual number of Performance Stock Units that vest pursuant to the achievement of the Performance Metrics and such determination shall be final and conclusive. Until the Committee has made such a determination, none of the Performance Metrics will be considered to have been satisfied. Such certification shall occur, if at all, no later than three (3) calendar months following the last day of the Performance Period. |
|
|
(b) |
Vesting upon Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Target Performance Stock Units shall fully vest so long as the Participant remains in Service through the date of the Change in Control. |
1
|
|
(a) |
Death. If the Participant terminates Service prior to the end of the Certification Date by reason of death, the Target Performance Stock Units shall fully vest and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4 (whereby the date of the Participant's death shall be treated as the Certification Date). |
|
|
(b) |
Involuntary Termination Without Cause on or after October 1. If the Participant's Service is terminated involuntarily by the Company or the Employer, as applicable, without Cause on or after October 1, 2020 but prior to the Certification Date, the Performance Stock Units shall be forfeited (regardless of whether the Participant otherwise may be entitled to receive termination compensation, severance pay or pay in lieu of notice of termination). In lieu of the forfeited Performance Stock Units, the Participant shall receive a cash payment as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Participant's termination equal to a pro-rata number of the Target Performance Stock Units (based upon the 3-month average of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date). For purposes of the foregoing, the pro-ration shall be determined based upon a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the total number of days from the Grant Date to the Participant’s termination date, and the denominator shall equal the total number of days in the Performance Period. |
|
|
(c) |
Retirement. If the Participant terminates Service prior to the Certification Date by reason of retirement upon attaining age 55 and 15 continuous years of Service, the Performance Stock Units shall be forfeited. In lieu of the forfeited Performance Stock Units, the Participant shall receive a cash payment as soon as reasonably practicable following the Participant's retirement date equal to a pro-rata number of the Target Performance Stock Units (based upon the 3-month average of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date). For purposes of the foregoing, the pro-ration shall be determined based upon a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the total number of days from the Grant Date to the Participant's retirement date, and the denominator shall equal the total number of days in the Performance Period. |
|
|
4. |
Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within forty-five (45) days following the Certification Date of the Performance Stock Units a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Performance Stock Units that vest as of such date. No fractional Shares shall be delivered; the Company shall pay cash in respect of any fractional Shares. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Participant or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the Performance Stock Units, registered in the name of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Stock Units may be settled in the form of: (a) cash, to the extent settlement in Shares (i) is prohibited under applicable laws, (ii) would require the Participant, the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Participant (the “Employer”) to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome; or (b) Shares, but the Company may require the Participant to immediately sell such Shares if necessary to comply with applicable laws (in which case, the Participant hereby expressly authorizes the Company to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on the Participant's behalf). |
|
|
5. |
Responsibility for Taxes. |
|
|
(a) |
The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment and withholding of all income, employment and other taxes attributable to the Participant under this Agreement (the “Tax-Related Items”), and the Participant shall timely remit all taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, Canada Revenue Agency and/or any other required governmental agencies. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that, during and after the Participant’s termination of Service, the Participant will indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from all taxes, interest, penalties, fees, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses and expenses arising from a failure or alleged failure to make the required reports and payments for income taxes. |
|
|
(b) |
Where the Company or the Employer is required by local laws in the Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different) to deduct or withhold any Tax-Related Items, then prior to the relevant taxable or taxable withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld by having the Company withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares that the Participant otherwise would have received upon vesting of the Performance Stock Units; provided, if the foregoing tax withholding method is impermissible under applicable law, one or a combination of the following withholding methods shall be used (as determined by the Company): |
|
|
(i) |
withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation, if any, paid to the Participant by the Company or the Employer; |
|
|
(ii) |
withholding from the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) including pursuant to a broker-assisted settlement; or |
|
|
(iii) |
any other arrangement satisfactory to the Company or the Employer regarding payment of such Tax-Related Items. |
Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for any such Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company or the Employer in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates.
|
|
(c) |
Finally, where and to the extent that Section 5(b) is applicable, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any number of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company or the Employer may refuse to honor the vesting of the Performance Stock Units,or refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the personal obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items required to be deducted or withheld by the Company or the Employer. |

If the Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, as a condition of participation, the Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and the Employer, as may be required to allow the Company and the Employer to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). |
|
|
8. |
Private Placement. If the Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, the Performance Stock Units are not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted a registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the Performance Stock Units are not subject to the supervision of local securities authorities. |
|
|
9. |

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Market Abuse Laws: By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (to the extent that it is applicable to the Participant). The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant or the Participant’s broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Local ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any restrictions and the Participant should speak to a personal advisor on this matter. |
|
|
11. |
Imposition of Other Requirements: The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Performance Stock Units, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Performance Stock Units and the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. |
|
|
12. |
Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. |
The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, family size, marital status, sex, beneficiary information, emergency contacts, passport/visa information, age, language skills, driver’s license information, nationality, C.V. (or resume), wage history, employment references, social insurance number, resident registration number or other identification number, salary, job title, employment or severance contract, current wage and benefit information, personal bank account number, tax-related information, plan or benefit enrollment forms and elections, award or benefit statements, any Shares or directorships in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlements to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding for purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).
The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. (or any successor Plan Broker) and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan including, but not limited to, the Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Company. These third-party recipients may be located in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) or elsewhere, and the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Company's People and Culture Organization.
The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired. The Participant understands that Data only will be held as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Company's People and Culture Organization. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke consent, the Participant’s service status and career will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant purchase rights or administer or maintain such purchase rights. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Company's People and Culture Organization.
Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different), either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will be unable to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

If any provision of the Plan or this Agreement would, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Committee, result or likely result in the imposition on the Participant of a penalty tax under Section 409A, the Committee may modify the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, in the manner that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such penalty tax. This Section 15(j) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee that the Performance Stock Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A. In no event shall the Company be liable for any such taxes, interest or penalties that may be imposed. |

Securities Law Notice. |
WARNING: This is an offer of Performance Stock Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares provide the Participant with a stake in the ownership of the Company. the Participant may receive a return on any Shares acquired under the Plan if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of his / her investment, if any.
6
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant also will have fewer other legal protections for this investment. On this basis, the Participant should seek independent professional advice before acquiring any Shares under the Plan.
Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the Participant will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting or dividend rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.
No interest in any Performance Stock Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Agreement: |
The Participant agrees to be liable for any Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay any such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by Ceridian or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply. In such case, the Participant understands that the Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant and, therefore, any such income tax not so collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement. However, the Participant is primarily responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

Exclusion of Claim. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Performance Stock Units under the Plan, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss of diminution in value of the Shares underlying the Performance Stock Units. Upon the grant of the Performance Stock Units, the Participant shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably such entitlement. |
