Exhibit 10.4(w)

AMENDED AND RESTATED RYDER SYSTEM, INC.

2012 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN


1. Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of this Amended and Restated 2012 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing a means (a) to attract, retain, and reward directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) to link compensation to measures of the Company’s performance in order to provide additional incentives, including stock-based incentives and cash-based incentives, to such persons for the creation of shareholder value, and (c) to enable such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company in order to promote a closer identity of interests between such persons and the Company’s shareholders.
The Plan was originally effective as of May 4, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). This amended and restated Plan will be effective as of May 6, 2016, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders (the “Amendment Effective Date”). Changes made pursuant to this amendment and restatement shall only apply to Awards granted on or after the Amendment Effective Date. Awards granted prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall continue to be governed by the applicable Award Agreements and the terms of the Plan without giving effect to changes made pursuant to this amendment and restatement, and the Committee shall administer such Awards in accordance with the Plan without giving effect to changes made pursuant to this amendment and restatement.
 
2.     Definitions
Capitalized terms used in the Plan and not defined elsewhere in the Plan shall have the meaning set forth in this Section.
2.1    “Award” means a Cash-Based Award or a Share-Based Award.
2.2    “Award Agreement” means a written document prescribed by the Committee and provided to a Participant evidencing the grant of an Award under the Plan.
2.3    “Beneficiary” means the person(s) or trust(s) entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive any rights with respect to an Award that survive such Participant’s death, provided that if at the time of a Participant’s death, the Participant had on file with the Committee a written designation of a person(s) or trust(s) to receive such rights, then such person(s) (if still living at the time of the Participant’s death) or trust(s) shall be the “Beneficiary” for purposes of the Plan.
2.4    “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
2.5    “Cash-Based Award” means a compensatory award made pursuant to the Plan pursuant to which a Participant receives, or has the opportunity to receive, cash, other than an award pursuant to which the amount of cash is determined by reference to the value of a specific number of Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Dividend-Equivalent Rights constitute Cash-Based Awards.
2.6    “Cause” means, unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, (i) fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that results in material or potentially material financial or reputational harm to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or dishonesty or a felony, (iii) material breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, or confidentiality agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, (iv) willful and continued failure to substantially perform the Participant’s key job duties or responsibilities (other than such failure resulting from the Participant’s Disability) that is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Participant is provided notice of such failure, or (v) willful and material violation of the Company’s Principles of Business Conduct or any analogous code of ethics or similar policy. For purposes of determining “Cause”, no act or omission by the Participant shall be considered “willful” unless the Board determines that it is done or omitted in bad faith or without reasonable belief

1


that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Cause shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board and the Board’s allegations supporting such determination shall be set forth in a written notice to the Participant. The Participant shall have an opportunity within ten (10) business days after receiving such notice to meet with the Board to discuss the Board’s allegations of Cause. Any good faith determination by the Board that the Participant’s action or omission constitutes “Cause” shall be conclusive on the Participant.
2.7    “Change of Control” occurs when:
(a)    any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subparagraph (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition by the Company or any employee benefit plan or plans (or related trust) of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or (ii) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subparagraph (c) below; or
(b)    the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board” generally and as of the Effective Date the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election, was approved by a vote or by approval of the proxy statement in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination of the persons comprising at least a majority of the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as in effect on January 23, 2000)) shall be, for purposes of this Plan, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or
(c)    consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding Shares and outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Company’s outstanding Shares and outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan or plans (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination and their subsidiaries and affiliates) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or
(d)    shareholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or
(e)    consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, solely for the purpose of determining the timing of payment or timing of distribution of any compensation or benefit that constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur under this Plan unless the

2


events that have occurred would also constitute a “Change in the Ownership or Effective Control of a Corporation or in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of a Corporation” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), or any successor provision, and in the event such Change of Control does not constitute “Change in the Ownership or Effective Control of a Corporation or in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of a Corporation” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), the timing of payment or timing of distribution of any compensation or benefit that constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A will occur pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement without regard to the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence will not apply for the purpose of determining the vesting of any Award upon a Change of Control.
2.8    “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including regulations thereunder and successor provisions and regulations thereto.
2.9    “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board, or another committee appointed by the Board to administer the Plan or any part thereof, or the Board, where the Board is acting as the Committee or performing the functions of the Committee, as set forth in Section 3.
2.10    “Common Stock” means common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of the Company.
2.11    “Company” means Ryder System, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the state of Florida.
2.12    “Disability” means a determination of disability under the long-term disability plan of the Company or a Subsidiary that is applicable to the Participant.
2.13    “Dividend-Equivalent Right” means the right to receive an amount, calculated with respect to a Share-Based Award, which is determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to the applicable Award by the per-Share cash dividend, or the per-Share Fair Market Value (as determined by the Committee) of any dividend in consideration other than cash, paid by the Company on Shares.
2.14    “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
2.15    “Fair Market Value” means the last reported sale price of a Share during regular trading hours on the relevant date or (if there were no trades on that date) the latest preceding date upon which a sale was reported by the composite transaction reporting system for securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
2.16    “Full-Value Award” means any Share-Based Award granted under the Plan other than (a) a stock option that requires the Participant to pay (in cash, foregone cash compensation, or other consideration, other than the performance of services, designated as acceptable by the Committee) at least the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto as determined on the date of grant of an Award or (b) a stock appreciation right that is based solely on the appreciation of the Shares underlying the Award from the Fair Market Value of the Shares as determined on the date of grant of the Award.
2.17    “Good Reason” means, unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, the occurrence of any one of the following, without the Participant’s prior written consent, (i) the Company requiring the Participant to be based or to perform services at any site or location more than fifty (50) miles from the then current site or location at which the Participant is based, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities (which does not materially exceed the level of travel required of the Participant in the six-month period immediately preceding the required relocation), (ii) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary, annual bonus target opportunity or long-term incentive target opportunity, (iii) a material diminution in the Participant’s duties, responsibilities and authority (other than on account of the Participant’s Disability), or (iv) the Company’s material breach of any employment agreement or severance agreement with the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, a change in reporting relationship or title alone shall not constitute “Good Reason.” A Participant’s termination of employment shall only constitute a termination for Good Reason if the Participant

3


provides written notice to the Company of the existence of Good Reason within ninety (90) days following the date of the Participant’s knowledge of the Good Reason condition, the Company does not remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, and the Participant terminates employment within ninety (90) days following the end of the thirty (30) day cure period.
2.18    “Incentive Stock Option” means a stock option to purchase Shares that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Sections 421 and 422 of the Code, as now constituted or subsequently amended, or pursuant to a successor provision of the Code, and which is designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the applicable Award Agreement.
2.19    “Non-Employee Director” means a member of the Board who is not otherwise employed by the Company or any Subsidiary.

2.22    “Share-Based Award” means a compensatory award made pursuant to the Plan pursuant to which a Participant receives, or has the opportunity to receive, Shares, or receives, or has the opportunity to receive, cash, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the value of a specific number of Shares. Share-Based Awards shall include, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock units, and bonus shares.
2.23    “Shares” means shares of Common Stock and such other securities as may be substituted or resubstituted for Shares pursuant to Section 7.
2.24    “Subsidiary” means an entity that is, either directly or through one or more intermediaries, controlled by the Company.
2.25    “Ten Percent Stockholder” means a person owning stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and any Subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company.
3.     Administration
3.1     Committee . The Compensation Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan, unless the Board shall appoint a different committee. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, (a) any action of the Committee relating to an Award intended by the Committee to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder may be taken by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee or the Board, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, and (b) any action relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company may be taken either by the Board, a subcommittee of the Committee consisting of two or more Qualified Members or by the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action, provided that, upon such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains composed of two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the Board may perform any function of the Committee under the Plan, and that authority specifically reserved to the Board under the terms of the Plan, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, or applicable law shall be exercised by the

4


Board and not by the Committee. The Board shall serve as the Committee in respect of any Awards made to any Non-Employee Director.
3.2     Powers and Duties of Committee . In addition to the powers and duties specified elsewhere in the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority and discretion to:
(a)    adopt, amend, suspend, and rescind such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;
(b)    correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award, rules and regulations, Award Agreement, or other instrument hereunder;
(c)    make determinations relating to eligibility for and entitlements in respect of Awards, and to make all factual findings related thereto; and
(d)    make all other decisions and determinations as may be required under the terms of the Plan or as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
All determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding upon a Participant or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant, and the Participant or such other person may not further pursue his or her claim in any court of law or equity or other arbitral proceeding.
3.3     Delegation by Committee . Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, or as provided in Section 5.2, the Committee may delegate, on such terms and conditions as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion, to one or more senior executives of the Company (i) the authority to make grants of Awards to officers (other than executive officers) and employees of the Company and any Subsidiary or other individuals (other than Non-Employee Directors) who provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary and (ii) other administrative responsibilities. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.
3.4     Limitation of Liability . Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee or members thereof shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation.
4.     Awards
4.1     Eligibility . The Committee shall have the discretion to select Award recipients from among the following categories of eligible recipients: (a) individuals who are employees (including officers) of the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) Non-Employee Directors, and (c) other individuals who provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary.
4.2     Type of Awards . The Committee shall have the discretion to determine the type of Award to be granted to a Participant. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards as a bonus, or to grant Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to pay cash or grant other awards under other plans or compensatory arrangements, to the extent permitted by such other plans or arrangements. Shares issued pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right ( e.g. , stock options) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times,

5


by such methods, and in such forms, including cash, Shares, other Awards, or other consideration, as the Committee shall determine.
4.3     Terms and Conditions of Awards .
(a)    The Committee shall determine the size of each Award to be granted (including, where applicable, the number of Shares to which an Award will relate), and all other terms and conditions of each such Award (including, but not limited to, any exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restrictions or conditions relating to transferability, forfeiture, exercisability, or settlement of an Award, and any schedule or performance conditions for the lapse of such restrictions or conditions, and accelerations or modifications thereof, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee shall determine). The Committee may determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid, in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other consideration, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to performance conditions, except as limited under Section 5.1 in the case of a Performance Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m).
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following conditions shall apply to Awards under the Plan:
(i)    Except with respect to Substitute Awards, the price per Share at which Shares may be purchased upon the exercise of a stock option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110% of the Fair Market Value) on the date of grant of such stock option;
(ii)    Except with respect to Substitute Awards, with respect to stock appreciation rights, the price per Share from which stock appreciation is measured shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of grant of the stock appreciation right;
(iii)    The period during which an Award may remain outstanding shall not exceed ten (10) years (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, five (5) years) from the date the Award is granted;
(iv)    Dividend-Equivalent Rights shall not be granted with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights;
(v)    Dividend-Equivalent Rights shall not be paid with respect to unvested performance shares and performance units (provided that Dividend-Equivalent Rights may accrue on such unvested Awards and be paid to the extent the Awards vest);
(vi)    Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall vest over a period that is not less than one (1) year from the date of grant. In addition, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with Section 7 below, up to 5% of the Aggregate Share Limit set forth in Section 6 as of the Amendment Effective Date may be granted without regard to the minimum vesting requirement;
(vii)    The Committee shall have the authority to accelerate vesting in connection with a Participant’s death, retirement, Disability, in the event of a Change of Control or a corporate transaction or event described in Section 7, or in other circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate;

6


(viii)    No Incentive Stock Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option that may be assumed or issued by the Company in connection with a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies) may be granted to a person who is not eligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code; and
(ix)    Any Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be granted on a non-discretionary basis based on a formula approved by the Committee.
4.4     No Repricing of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights No Reloads . Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7, the Company may not, without obtaining shareholder approval, (a) amend the terms of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding stock options or base price of such stock appreciation rights, (b) cancel outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for stock options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original stock options or stock appreciation rights or (c) cancel outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, above the current stock price in exchange for cash or other securities, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including a Change of Control). The Company will not grant any stock options or stock appreciation rights with automatic reload features.
4.5     Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards . Subject to Section 4.4, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Subsidiary.
5.     Performance Awards
5.1     Performance Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees . If the Committee determines that an Award to be granted to an eligible person who is designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee (as defined below in Section 5.3) should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise, and/or settlement of such Award (a “Performance Award”) shall be contingent upon achievement of preestablished performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 5.1. This Section 5.1 shall not apply to Awards that otherwise qualify as “performance-based compensation” by reason of Regulation §1.162-27(e)(2)(vi) (relating to certain stock options and stock appreciation rights).
(a)     Performance Goals Generally . The performance goals for such Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 5.1. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder (including Regulation §1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine that such Performance Awards shall be granted, exercised, and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise, and/or settlement of such Performance Awards. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants.
(b)     Business Criteria . One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified Subsidiaries, divisions, or other business units of the Company (where the criteria are applicable), shall be used by the Committee in establishing performance goals for such Performance Awards: (i) earnings per share; (ii) revenues; (iii) cash flow; (iv) cash flow return on investment; (v) return on net assets, return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, return on equity; profitability; (vi) economic value added (“EVA”); (vii) operating margins or profit margins; (viii) income or earnings before or after taxes; pretax earnings; pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization; operating earnings; pretax operating earnings, before or after interest expense and before or after incentives, and extraordinary or special items; net

7


income; (ix) total stockholder return or stock price; (x) book value per share; (xi) expense management; improvements in capital structure; working capital; costs; and (xii) any of the above goals as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparator companies. EVA means the amount by which a business unit’s earnings exceed the cost of the equity and debt capital used by the business unit during the performance period, as determined by the Committee. Income of a business unit may be before payment of bonuses, capital charges, unusual or infrequently occurring income or expense, and general and administrative expenses for the performance period, if so specified by the Committee.
(c)     Performance Period; Timing for Establishing Performance Award Terms . Achievement of performance goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over a performance period as specified by the Committee. Performance goals, amounts payable upon achievement of such goals, and other material terms of Performance Awards shall be established by the Committee (i) while the performance outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25% of the relevant performance period.
(d)     Performance Award Pool . The Committee may establish a Performance Award pool, which shall be an unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring performance of the Company in connection with Performance Awards. The amount of such Performance Award pool shall be based upon the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section 5.1(b) hereof during the given performance period, as specified by the Committee in accordance with Section 5.1(c) hereof. The Committee may specify the amount of the Performance Award pool as a percentage of any of such business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or as another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to such business criteria. In such case, Performance Awards may be granted as rights to payment of a specified portion of the Award pool, and such grants shall be subject to the requirements of Section 5.1(c).
(e)     Settlement of Performance Awards; Other Terms . Settlement of such Performance Awards shall be in cash, Shares, or other Awards, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance Awards, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable to a Covered Employee in respect of a Performance Award subject to this Section 5.1. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the Participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Performance Awards.
(f)     Impact of Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items or Changes in Accounting . To the extent applicable, the determination of achievement of performance goals for Performance Awards shall be made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and a manner consistent with the methods used in the Company’s audited financial statements, and, unless the Committee decides otherwise within the period described in Section 5.1(c), without regard to (i) unusual or infrequently occurring items as determined by the Company’s independent public accountants in accordance with GAAP, (ii) changes in accounting methods, or (iii) non-recurring acquisition expenses and restructuring charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating operating earnings or operating income (including on a per share basis), the Committee may, within the period described in Section 5.1(c), provide that such calculation shall be made on the same basis as reflected in a release of the Company’s earnings for a previously completed period as specified by the Committee.
5.2     Written Determinations . Determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of performance goals, the amount potentially payable in respect of Performance Awards, the achievement of performance goals relating to Performance Awards, and the amount of any final Performance Award shall be recorded in writing. Specifically, the Committee shall certify in writing, in a manner conforming to applicable

8


regulations under Code Section 162(m), prior to settlement of each Performance Award, that the performance goals and other material terms of the Performance Award upon which settlement of the Performance Award was conditioned have been satisfied. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(a) above, the Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to such Performance Awards, and all such responsibility relating to Performance Awards shall be carried out by the Committee or by a subcommittee designated by the Committee or the Board, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members.
5.3     Status of Section 5.1 Awards under Code Section 162(m) . It is the intent of the Company that Performance Awards under Section 5.1 constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot determine with certainty whether a given Participant will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term “Covered Employee” as used herein shall mean only a person designated by the Committee, at the time of grant of a Performance Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to a specified fiscal year. If any provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of adoption of any agreements relating to Performance Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
6.     Limitations on Awards
6.1     Aggregate Number of Shares Available for Awards . The aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered to Participants or their Beneficiaries after the Amendment Effective Date pursuant to all Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of the following (a) 3,200,000 Shares, plus (b) the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan as of February 12, 2016 (2,022,048 Shares), plus (c) 267,265 Shares, which is the number available for grant of Awards under the Plan as of February 12, 2016 subject to adjustments made in accordance with Section 7 below (the “Aggregate Share Limit”). All of the authorized Shares may be granted as Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an eligible employee during any fiscal year (under all such plans of the Company and of any Subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company) may not exceed $100,000.
6.2     Source of Shares . Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or reacquired shares of Common Stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the Plan.
6.3     Share Counting .
(a)    The Aggregate Share Limit shall be reduced as follows: (i) for each Share that is delivered pursuant to a Full-Value Award, the Aggregate Share Limit shall be reduced by two Shares ( i.e. , on a 1:2 ratio), and (ii) for each Share that is delivered pursuant to a stock option or stock appreciation right, the Aggregate Share Limit shall be reduced by one Share ( i.e. , on a 1:1 ratio).
(b)    If and to the extent stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, and if and to the extent that any Full-Value Awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise are not paid in full, the Shares reserved for such Share-Based Awards shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of a stock option, and Shares withheld for payment of taxes with respect to stock options and stock appreciation rights, shall not be available for re-issuance under the Plan and shall reduce the Aggregate Share Limit on a 1:1 ratio. Shares withheld or tendered to the Company by the Participant for payment of taxes with respect to Full-Value Awards shall not reduce the Aggregate Share Limit and shall be available for re-issuance under the Plan. If stock appreciation rights are granted, the full number of Shares

9


subject to the stock appreciation rights shall be considered issued under the Plan and shall reduce the Aggregate Share Limit on a 1:1 ratio, without regard to the number of Shares delivered upon exercise of the stock appreciation rights. To the extent that any Share-Based Awards are paid in cash, and not in Shares, such Awards shall not reduce the Aggregate Share Limit.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall apply only for purposes of determining the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, but shall not apply for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Share-Based Awards may be granted to any individual Participant under the Plan. If Shares are repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of stock options, such Shares may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan.
6.4     Per Participant Limitation on Share-Based Awards . In any calendar year, no Participant may be granted any Share-Based Awards (including, for the avoidance of doubt, stock options (including Incentive Stock Options) or stock appreciation rights) that relate to more than 500,000 Shares, subject to adjustments made in accordance with Section 7 below. If the number of Shares ultimately payable in respect of an Award is a function of future achievement of performance targets, then for purposes of this limitation, the number of Shares to which such Award relates shall equal the number of Shares that would be payable assuming maximum performance was achieved.
6.5     Per Participant Limitation on Cash-Based Awards other than Dividend-Equivalent Rights . In any calendar year, no Participant may be granted Cash-Based Awards (excluding Dividend-Equivalent Rights) that can be settled for more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate.
6.6     Per Participant Limitation on Dividends and Dividend-Equivalent Rights . For dividends and Dividend-Equivalent Rights that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the maximum amount of dividends and Dividend-Equivalent Rights that a Participant may accrue in any calendar year with respect to Performance Awards granted to any individual employee under the Plan may not exceed $500,000.
6.7     Per Non-Employee Director Limitation . The maximum grant date value of Shares subject to Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees payable to such Non-Employee Director for services rendered during the calendar year, shall not exceed $500,000 in total value. For purposes of this limit, the value of such Awards shall be calculated based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes.
6.8     Acquisitions . In connection with the acquisition of any business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any outstanding equity grants with respect to stock of the acquired company may be assumed or replaced by Awards under the Plan upon such terms and conditions as the Committee determines in its sole discretion. Shares subject to any such outstanding grants that are assumed or replaced by Awards under the Plan in connection with an acquisition (“Substitute Awards”) shall not reduce the Aggregate Share Limit, consistent with applicable stock exchange requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Substitute Awards shall have such terms as the Committee deems appropriate, including without limitation exercise prices or base prices on different terms than those described herein. In the event that the Company assumes a shareholder-approved equity plan of an acquired company, available Shares under such assumed plan (after appropriate adjustments to reflect the transaction) may be issued pursuant to Awards under this Plan and shall not reduce the Aggregate Share Limit, subject to applicable stock exchange requirements.
7.     Adjustments
In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of Shares, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution or other corporate exchange, any large, special and non-recurring dividend or distribution to shareholders, or other similar corporate transaction (including a Change of Control), the Committee shall make

10


such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable and in order to preserve, without enlarging, the rights of Participants, as to (a) the number and kind of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.4 and 6.7, (b) the ratios described in Section 6.3(a), (c) the number and kind of Shares subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (d) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award. The Committee will also make such substitutions or adjustments, including as described in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, as it deems fair and equitable to the Participants as a result of any Share dividend or split declared by the Company. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards (including cancellation of Awards in exchange for the intrinsic ( i.e. , in-the-money) value, if any, of the vested portion thereof, substitution of Awards using securities or other obligations of a successor or other entity, acceleration of the expiration date for Awards, or adjustment to performance goals in respect of Awards) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change of Control, events described in the preceding sentences, and acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets) affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any business unit, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such event will result in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding Shares, then if the document governing such acquisition ( e.g. , merger agreement) specifies the treatment of outstanding Awards, such treatment shall govern without the need for any action by the Committee.
8.     Change of Control
8.1     Assumption of Outstanding Awards. Upon a Change of Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, (a) all outstanding Awards that are not exercised or paid at the time of the Change of Control shall be assumed by, or replaced with Awards that have comparable terms and value by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation) and (b) any outstanding performance-based awards will be deemed earned at the greater of the target level and the actual performance level at the date of the Change of Control with respect to all open performance periods, and will continue to be subject to time-based vesting following the Change of Control in accordance with the original performance period. After a Change of Control, references to the “Company” as they relate to employment matters shall include the successor employer.
8.2     Vesting Upon Certain Terminations of Employment Upon or Following a Change of Control . Unless the Committee determines otherwise or as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company without Cause, or the Participant terminates employment for Good Reason, in either case upon or within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control, the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall become fully vested as of the date of such termination.
8.3     Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee, in its discretion, may take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Awards, without the consent of any Participant: (a) the Committee may determine that Participants shall receive a payment in settlement of outstanding restricted stock units, stock units or Cash-Based Awards, in such amount and form as may be determined by the Committee; (b) the Committee may require that Participants surrender their outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Common Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Participant’s unexercised stock options and stock appreciation rights exceeds the stock option exercise price or stock appreciation right base price, and (c) the Committee may modify the terms of Awards to add events, conditions or circumstances upon which the vesting of such Awards or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate. Any such surrender, termination or payment shall take place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Committee may specify. Without limiting the foregoing, if the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock does not exceed the per share stock option exercise price or stock appreciation right base price, as applicable, the Company shall not be required to make any payment to the Participant upon surrender of the stock option or stock appreciation right. Similar actions to those specified in this

11


Section 8.3 may be taken in the event of a merger or other corporate reorganization that does not constitute a Change of Control.
9.     General Provisions
9.1     Compliance with Laws and Obligations . The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver Shares in connection with any Award or take any other action under the Plan in a transaction subject to the registration requirements of any applicable securities law, any requirement under any listing agreement between the Company and any securities exchange or automated quotation system, or any other law, regulation, or contractual obligation of the Company, until the Company is satisfied that such laws, regulations, and other obligations of the Company have been complied with in full. Certificates representing Shares issued under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as may be applicable under such laws, regulations, and other obligations of the Company, including any requirement that a legend or legends be placed thereon.
9.2     Limitations on Transferability . Awards and other rights under the Plan will not be transferable by a Participant except to a Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death (to the extent any such Award, by its terms, survives the Participant’s death), and, if exercisable, shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant or his guardian or legal representative; provided, however, that, if and only to the extent permitted by the Committee, Awards and other rights hereunder may be transferred during the lifetime of the Participant, to family members (and trusts or other entities for the benefit of Participants and family members) for purposes of the Participant’s estate planning, or to charities for charitable purposes (in each case as determined by the Committee), and may be exercised by such transferees in accordance with the terms of such Award. Awards and other rights under the Plan may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to the claims of creditors. A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.
9.3     No Right to Continued Employment; Leaves of Absence . Neither the Plan, the grant of any Award, nor any other action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee, consultant, director, or other person the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for the vesting period or any other period of time), nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any person’s employment or service at any time. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement and to the extent consistent with Code Section 409A, (a) an approved leave of absence shall not be considered a termination of employment or service for purposes of an Award under the Plan, and (b) any Participant who is employed by or performs services for a Subsidiary shall be considered to have terminated employment or service for purposes of an Award under the Plan if such Subsidiary is sold or no longer qualifies as a Subsidiary of the Company, unless such Participant remains employed by the Company or another Subsidiary.
9.4     Taxes . The Company and any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any delivery of Shares in connection with an Award, any other payment relating to an Award, or any payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company, its Subsidiaries and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares or other consideration and to require Participants to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations.
9.5     Changes to the Plan and Awards . The Board may amend, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of shareholders or Participants, except that any amendment shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders at or before the next annual meeting of shareholders for which the record date is after the date of such Board action if such shareholder approval is required by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board may

12


otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such amendments to shareholders for approval; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such action may materially impair the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted. The Committee may amend, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such action may materially impair the rights of such Participant under such Award. Any action taken by the Committee pursuant to Section 7 shall not be treated as an action described in this Section 9.5. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan and Awards in such manner as it deems appropriate in the event of a change of applicable law or regulations.
9.6     No Right to Awards; No Shareholder Rights . No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, employees, consultants, or directors. No Award shall confer on any Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are duly issued or transferred and delivered to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award.
9.7     Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts . The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares, other Awards, or other consideration pursuant to any Award, which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines.
9.8     Nonexclusivity of the Plan . Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan or of any amendment to shareholders for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other compensatory arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
9.9     Other Payments or Awards . Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company from making any award or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.
9.10     Non-Uniform Determinations . The Committee’s determinations under the Plan and Award Agreements need not be uniform and any such determinations may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee will be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations under Award Agreements, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Awards Agreements, as to (a) the persons to receive Awards, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards and (c) whether a Participant’s employment has been terminated for purposes of the Plan.
9.11     No Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, or Award, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
9.12     Clawback and Other Company Policies . All Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies, share holding and other policies that may be implemented by the Board from time to time.
9.13     Successors and Assigns . The Plan and Award Agreements may be assigned by the Company to any successor to the Company’s business. The Plan and any applicable Award Agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and a Participant, including any permitted transferee of a Participant, the

13


Beneficiary or estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.
9.14     Governing Law . The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.
9.15     Severability of Provisions . If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
9.16     Plan Termination . Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth anniversary of the later of the Amendment Effective Date or the date of any subsequent shareholder approval of the Plan. Upon any such termination of the Plan, no new authorizations of grants of Awards may be made, but then-outstanding Awards shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms, and the Committee otherwise shall retain its full powers under the Plan with respect to such Awards.
9.17     Section 409A . Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, the Plan and the Awards are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. Accordingly, all provisions herein and with respect to any Awards shall be construed and interpreted such that the Award either (a) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Code Section 409A or (b) satisfies the requirements of Code Section 409A to the maximum extent possible; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to reimburse a Participant or Beneficiary for any additional tax (or related penalties and interest) incurred by reason of application of Code Section 409A, and the Company makes no representations that Awards are exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertakings to ensure or preclude that Code Section 409A will apply to any Awards. If an Award is subject to Code Section 409A, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Code Section 409A, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Code Section 409A, (iii) unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise, each installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A, and (iv) in no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Awards constitute nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, if (x) the Participant is a “specified employee” of the Company as of the specified employee identification date for purposes of Code Section 409A (as determined in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Company) and (y) the delivery of any cash or Shares payable pursuant to an Award is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Code Section 409A, such cash or Shares shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Participant dies during such six-month period, the amounts withheld on account of Code Section 409A shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary within 30 days of the Participant’s death. The Committee shall have the discretion to provide for the payment of an amount equivalent to interest, at such rate or rates fixed by the Committee, on any delayed payment. The determination of key employees, including the number and identity of persons considered key employees and the identification date, shall be made by the Committee or its delegate each year in accordance with Code Section 416(i) and the “specified employee” requirements of Code Section 409A.

Exhibit 99.1

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
(Proposal 4)
Background

The Company currently maintains the Ryder System, Inc. 2012 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (2012 Plan), which was originally effective as of May 4, 2012. In February 2016, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the Amended and Restated Ryder System, Inc. 2012 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (Amended Plan), which is an amendment and restatement of the 2012 Plan.

Principal Changes

Shareholder approval of the Amended Plan is being sought in order to (i) authorize additional shares, (ii) extend the term of the Amended Plan until May 5, 2026, (iii) meet NYSE listing requirements, (iv) permit (but not require) certain awards under the Amended Plan to qualify for an exemption from the $1 million deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and (v) make other appropriate changes.

The principal changes made by the Amended Plan are to:

Increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by an additional 3,200,000 shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan on or after May 6, 2016 will be equal to the sum of (i) 3,200,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016 (2,022,048 shares), plus (iii) 267,265 shares, which is the number of shares available for grant of awards under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016 subject to adjustments as described in the Amended Plan. This increase represents an additional 3,200,000 shares over the current share authorization of the 2012 Plan that will be available for awards under the Amended Plan.

Provide that the aggregate maximum grant date value that may be subject to awards granted to any non-employee director under the Amended Plan during any calendar year, including any cash fees payable to such non-employee director during the calendar year, will not exceed $500,000 in total value.

Impose a one year minimum vesting requirement for all stock-based awards; provided that up to 5% of the shares initially reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan (subject to adjustments as described in the Amended Plan) may be granted under stock-based awards that are not subject to such minimum vesting requirement.

Provide for double-trigger vesting in the event of a change of control, as described below.

Provide that for dividends and dividend equivalent rights that are intended to satisfy the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, no participant may accrue in any calendar year with respect to performance awards granted to any individual employee dividends and dividend-equivalent rights that exceed $500,000 in total value.

Permit the Committee (defined below under "Description of the Amended Plan - Administration") to accelerate vesting of awards after the date of grant in connection with a participant’s death, disability, retirement, in the event of a change of control or certain other corporate transactions or events, or in other circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate.

Extend the term of the Amended Plan until May 5, 2026.

Modify the plan amendment provisions so that shareholders must approve any amendment to the Amended Plan that requires shareholder approval under applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule.

Make other administrative changes and changes to comply with current law and best practices.

The Amended Plan will enable the Company to continue its compensation program that is intended to attract, motivate and retain experienced, highly-qualified directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who will contribute to the Company’s financial success, and will align the interests of the

1


directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with those of its shareholders through the ability to grant a variety of stock-based and cash-based awards. The Amended Plan will serve as the umbrella plan for all of our stock-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. If the shareholders approve the Amended Plan, awards granted under the Amended Plan will be governed by the terms of the Amended Plan. Awards previously granted under the 2012 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2012 Plan and the applicable award agreements, and the Committee shall administer such awards in accordance with the 2012 Plan, without giving effect to the amendments made pursuant to the Amended Plan.

The approval of the Amended Plan will not affect the Company’s ability to make stock-based or cash-based awards outside of the Amended Plan to the extent consistent with applicable law and stock exchange rules. It also does not govern the Company’s stock accumulation programs made available through the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan for Employees, 401(k) Savings Plan, and Directors Stock Plan (pursuant to which non-employee directors can elect to receive Company stock at fair market value in lieu of all or a portion of their annual cash retainer). If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, only 267,265 shares will be available for grant of awards under the 2012 Plan, subject to adjustment as described in the Amended Plan.

Determination of Shares to be Available for Issuance
Based on the number of shares subject to outstanding grants under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016, 267,265 shares remain available for grant under the 2012 Plan. The Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee believe that attracting and retaining directors, officers and other employees of high quality has been and will continue to be essential to the Company’s growth and success. Consistent with this view, the Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee believe that the number of shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan is not sufficient for future grants in light of our compensation structure and strategy.
If this Proposal 4 is approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued on or after May 6, 2016 under the Amended Plan will be equal to the sum of (i) 3,200,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016 (2,022,048 shares), plus (iii) 267,265 shares, which is the number of shares available for grant of awards under the Plan as of February 12, 2016, subject to adjustments as described in the Amended Plan.
As is the case under the 2012 Plan, the number of shares of Company common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan will be reduced on a one-for-one basis for each share of stock issued under the Amended Plan pursuant to a stock option or stock appreciation right and will be reduced by a fixed ratio of two shares for each share of stock issued under the Amended Plan pursuant to a stock award or stock unit. For example, if shares are issued pursuant to an award of 1,000 stock units, the share reserve under the Amended Plan will be reduced by 2,000 shares.
When deciding on the number of shares to be available for awards under the Amended Plan, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including the number of shares currently available under the 2012 Plan, the Company’s past share usage (“burn rate”), the number of shares needed for future awards, a dilution analysis, competitive data from relevant peer companies, the current and future accounting expenses associated with the Company’s equity award practices, and input from the Company’s shareholders and shareholder advisory firms.
Dilution Analysis
As of February 12, 2016, the Company’s capital structure consisted of 53,679,316 shares of common stock outstanding. As described above, 267,265 shares remain available for grant of awards under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016. The proposed share authorization is a request for 3,200,000 additional shares to be available for awards under the Amended Plan. The table below shows our potential dilution (referred to as “overhang”) levels based on our fully diluted shares of common stock and our request for 3,200,000 additional shares to be available for awards under the Amended Plan. The additional 3,200,000 shares represent 5.37% of fully diluted shares of Company common stock, including all shares that will be authorized under the Amended Plan, as described in the table below. The Board of Directors believes that the increase in shares of common stock under the Amended Plan represents a reasonable amount of potential equity dilution, which will allow the Company to continue awarding equity awards, and that equity awards are an important component of the Company’s equity compensation program.

The 693,552 Full Value Awards were comprised of: (a) 336,159 TBRSRs granted to employees, (b) 194,943 PBRSRs granted to employees, (c) 156,805 RSUs granted to non-employee directors and (d) 5,645 shares were granted to non-employee directors in lieu of a cash retainer.

The Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock in the foregoing table consist of the Shares of Common Stock Outstanding as of February 12, 2016 plus the Total Potential Overhang under the Amended Plan (and all predecessor employee and non-employee director equity compensation plans). The Outstanding Full Value Awards in the foregoing table are measured at target for the outstanding performance-based awards. Certain performance-based stock awards can be paid at 0% to 125% of target. All dividend equivalent rights are paid in cash.

Based on our current equity award practices, the Board of Directors estimates that the authorized shares under the Amended Plan may be sufficient to provide us with an opportunity to grant equity awards for approximately four years, in amounts determined appropriate by the Committee, which will administer the Amended Plan (as discussed below). This is only an estimate, and circumstances could cause the share reserve to be used more quickly or more slowly. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the future price of our common stock, the mix of cash, options and full value awards provided as long-term incentive compensation, grant amounts provided by our competitors, payout of performance-based awards in excess of target in the event of superior performance, hiring activity, and promotions during the next few years.
Burn Rate
The table below sets forth the following information regarding the awards granted under the 2012 Plan and all predecessor employee and non-employee director equity compensation plans of the Company: (i) the burn rate for each of the last three calendar years and (ii) the average burn rate over the last three calendar years. The burn rate for a year has been calculated as follows:
(i) the sum of (x) all stock options granted in the applicable year, (y) all time-based stock units and stock awards granted in the applicable year, multiplied by 2.5 (which represents a premium on full value share awards based on our annual stock price volatility), and (z) the number of all performance-based stock units and stock awards earned in the applicable year, multiplied by 2.5,
divided by
(ii) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable year.
Dividend equivalents are not included in the burn rate calculation, because dividend equivalents under the outstanding awards are paid only in cash and are not paid in shares of common stock.

The following table shows the number of stock units and stock awards granted in a year, as well as the number of performance-based stock units and stock-awards earned in a year. The performance-based stock units and stock awards earned and eligible to be earned are based on the number of shares earned and eligible to be earned for the three-year performance period ending in the applicable year. The number of performance-based stock units and stock awards earned and eligible to be earned in 2013 and 2014 include awards granted under the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan.

The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s executive compensation program, and particularly the granting of equity awards, allows us to align the interests of directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are selected to receive awards with those of our shareholders. The Amended Plan is designed to enable us to formulate and implement a compensation program that will attract, motivate and retain directors, officers and other employees who we expect will contribute to our financial success. The Board of Directors believes that awards granted pursuant to the Amended Plan are a vital component of our compensation program and, accordingly, that it is important that an appropriate number of shares of stock be authorized for issuance under the Amended Plan.

Description of the Amended Plan

The following is a brief description of the material features of the Amended Plan. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Administration . The Compensation Committee (or another committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally consisting of persons who are “non-employee directors,” as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, “outside directors,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and “independent directors” under the applicable stock exchange rules) (in either case, the “Committee”) will administer the Amended Plan. The Committee will have the authority to select award recipients, determine the type, size and other terms and conditions of awards, and make all other decisions and determinations as may be required under the terms of the Amended Plan or as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Amended Plan. The Committee will be permitted to delegate to one or more senior executives of the Company the authority to make grants of awards to officers (other than executive officers) and employees of the Company and such other administrative responsibilities as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, to the extent such delegation is consistent with applicable law and the applicable NYSE rules. The Committee’s determinations under the Amended Plan and the award agreements do not need to be uniform and any such determinations may be made by the Committee selectively among participants.

Eligibility . Officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and other individuals who provide services for the Company or any subsidiary are eligible to be selected as award recipients. The Company has approximately 2,144 employees (including all the Company’s officers) and 10 non-employee directors who are currently eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. Of the eligible employees, approximately 2,144 are eligible for cash-based awards and, of those 2,144 employees, approximately 460 employees are also eligible for stock-based awards under the Amended Plan.

Type of Awards . The Committee is authorized to grant awards payable in either our shares or cash, including options to purchase shares, restricted shares, bonus shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance units and dividend equivalents. Awards may be granted alone or in combination with any other award granted under the Amended Plan or any other plan.

Terms and Conditions of Awards . The Committee will determine the size of each award to be granted (including, where applicable, the number of shares to which an award will relate), and all other terms and conditions of each award (including any exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restrictions or conditions relating to transferability, forfeiture, exercisability, or settlement of an award, and any schedule or performance conditions for the lapse of such restrictions or conditions, and accelerations or modifications of such restrictions or conditions); provided that (i) no award will expire more than ten years (or, in the case of incentive stock options (discussed below) granted to any holder of at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company, five years) from the date of grant; (ii) except with respect to Substitute Awards discussed below, awards granted as stock options or stock appreciation rights may not have an exercise price that is less than 100% (or, in the case of incentive stock options (discussed below) granted to any holder of at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company, 110%) of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant; (iii) dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any other unvested performance shares or units (provided that dividend equivalents may accrue on such unvested awards, and be paid to the extent the shares vest); (iv) no dividend equivalents may be granted with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights; (v) stock-based awards granted under the Amended Plan will vest over a period that is not less than one year from the date of grant; provided that up to 5% of the shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan (subject to adjustment as described below) may be granted under awards that are not subject to the minimum vesting period; (vii) the Committee has the authority to accelerate vesting in connection with a participant’s death, disability, retirement, in the event of a change of control or certain other corporate transactions or events pursuant to which awards may be adjusted under the adjustment provisions; of the Amended Plan (as described below), or in other circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate and (viii) any awards granted to non-employee directors will be granted on a non-discretionary basis based on a formula approved by the Committee.

The types of awards that may be granted under the Amended Plan include the following:

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights . A stock option is a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Ryder common stock at an exercise price established at the date of grant. Stock options may be either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options (which are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code). The exercise price of any stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the Ryder common stock on the date of grant. A stock appreciation right (SARs) entitles the recipient to receive, upon surrender of the SAR, an amount of cash or number of shares of Ryder common stock having a fair market value equal to the positive difference, if any, between the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the SAR (which exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Ryder common stock on the date of grant). The Committee will specify at the time an option or SAR is granted, when, and in what proportions, an option or SAR becomes vested and exercisable.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units . An award of restricted stock is an issuance of shares of Ryder common stock that is subject to certain restrictions established by the Committee and to forfeiture to the Company if the holder does not satisfy certain requirements (including, for example, continued employment with the Company for a specified period of time). Recipients of restricted stock have limited rights to the stock until the restrictions are satisfied but may be entitled to vote the restricted stock and to exercise other shareholder rights. Thus, upon grant, the shares may be included in the Company’s total number of shares outstanding and accrue and pay dividends. An award of restricted stock units (RSUs) entitles the recipient to receive shares of Ryder common stock at a later date once the holder has satisfied certain requirements. At that time, the shares will be delivered and the recipient will be entitled to all shareholder rights. Thus, upon grant, the shares of common stock covered by the RSUs are not considered issued and are not included in the Company’s total number of shares outstanding until all conditions have been satisfied. Dividend equivalents may accrue, or be paid, on RSUs at the discretion of the Committee.

Performance-Based Awards . The Committee may grant performance awards, which may be cash- or stock-based. The Committee may grant performance awards that are intended to satisfy the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” to avoid the limitations on tax deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, but the Committee is not required to grant performance awards intended to satisfy the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, performance awards require satisfaction of pre-established performance goals, consisting of one or more business criteria and a targeted performance level with respect to such criteria as a condition of awards being granted, becoming exercisable or settleable, or as a condition to accelerating the timing of such events. The Committee will set the performance goals used to determine the amount payable pursuant to a performance award. If the awards are intended to satisfy the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” in order to avoid the limitations on tax deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the business criteria used by the Committee in establishing performance goals applicable to performance awards to the covered employees must be selected from among the following: earnings per share; revenues; cash flow; cash flow return on investment; return on net assets, return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, return on equity; profitability; economic value added; operating margins or profit margins; income or earnings before or after taxes; pretax earnings; pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization; operating earnings; pretax operating earnings, before or after interest expense and before or after incentives, and unusual or infrequently occurring or special items; net income; total stockholder return or stock price; book value per share; expense management; improvements in capital structure; working capital; and costs. Performance goals may be set based on consolidated Company performance and/or for specified subsidiaries, divisions, or other business units, and may be with fixed, quantitative targets; targets relative to past performance; or targets compared to the performance of other companies, such as a published or special index or a group of companies selected by the Committee for comparison.
Aggregate Limitation on Stock-Based Awards . The aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan after May 6, 2016 will be equal to the sum of (i) 3,200,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan as of February 12, 2016 (2,022,048 shares) plus (iii) 267,265 shares, which is the number of shares available for grant of awards under the Plan as of February 12, 2016, subject to adjustments as described in the Amended Plan. All of the authorized shares may be granted as incentive stock options.

The Amended Plan has the following rules for counting shares against the Amended Plan’s share reserve:

For each share that is delivered pursuant to a full value award (that is, a stock-based award other than a stock option or SAR), the aggregate share limit under the Amended Plan will be reduced by two shares.

For each share that is delivered pursuant to a stock option or SAR, the aggregate share limit under the Amended Plan will be reduced by one share.

If and to the extent that stock options or SARs granted under the Amended Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, and if and to the extent that any full value awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise are not paid in full, the shares reserved for such awards will again be available for grants under the Amended Plan.

If SARs are granted, the full number of shares subject to the SARs will be considered issued under the Amended Plan and will reduce the aggregate share limit on a 1:1 ratio, without regard to the number of shares actually delivered upon exercise of the SARs.

Shares withheld for payment of the exercise price of a stock option, and shares withheld for payment of taxes with respect to stock options and SARs, will not be available for re-issuance under the Amended Plan and will reduce the aggregate share limit on a 1:1 ratio.

In contrast, shares withheld or tendered to the Company by a participant for payment of taxes with respect to full value awards will not reduce the aggregate share limit and will be available for re-issuance under the Amended Plan.

To the extent that any stock-based awards are paid in cash, and not in shares, such awards will not reduce the aggregate share limit.

Shares delivered under the Plan may be newly issued shares, reacquired shares, including shares acquired on the market, or treasury shares. In the event of our acquisition of any company, outstanding equity grants with respect to stock of the acquired company may be assumed or replaced with awards under the Amended Plan. Outstanding awards that are assumed or replaced by awards under the Amended Plan in connection with an acquisition, referred to as Substitute Awards, will not reduce the Amended Plan’s aggregate share limit. The terms of any such Substitute Award will be determined by the Committee and may include exercise prices or base prices that are different from those otherwise described in the Amended Plan. If the Company assumes a shareholder approved equity plan from an acquired company, any shares of common stock available under the assumed plan (after appropriate adjustments, as required to reflect the transaction) may be issued pursuant to awards under the Amended Plan and will not reduce the Amended Plan’s aggregate share limit.

Per Participant Limitations . The following limitations are set forth in the Amended Plan:

In any calendar year, no participant may be granted stock-based awards (including, for the avoidance of doubt, stock options and stock appreciation rights) that relate to more than 500,000 shares, subject to adjustments as described in the Amended Plan.

In any calendar year, no participant may be granted cash-based awards (excluding dividend-equivalent rights) that can be settled for more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

For dividends and dividend equivalent rights that are intended to satisfy the requirements of “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, no participant may accrue in any calendar year with respect to performance awards granted to any individual employee dividends and dividend-equivalent rights that exceed $500,000 in total value.

The maximum grant date value of shares subject to awards granted to any non-employee director during any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees payable to such non-employee director for services rendered during the calendar year, will not exceed $500,000 in total value.


7


Adjustments . In the event of a large, special or non-recurring dividend or distribution, recapitalization, stock dividend, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, business combination, or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting the Company’s common stock (including a change of control), the Committee shall adjust the number and kind of shares subject to the aggregate and individual share limitations described above. The Committee may also adjust outstanding awards upon occurrence of these events in order to preserve the award without enhancing the value of the award. These adjustments may include changes to the number of shares subject to an award, the exercise price or share price referenced in the award terms, and other terms of the award. The Committee will make such substitutions or adjustments, including as described above, as it deems fair and equitable as a result of any share dividend or split declared by the Company. The Committee is also authorized to adjust performance conditions and other terms of awards in response to these kinds of events or to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

Effect of Change of Control . The Amended Plan provides for “double-trigger vesting” after a change of control.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, if a change of control occurs in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or the Company survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), (i) all outstanding awards that are not exercised or paid at the time of the change of control will be assumed by, or replaced with awards that have comparable terms and value by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), and (ii) any performance-based awards will be deemed earned at the greater of target level and the actual performance level as of the date of the change of control with respect to all open performance periods, and will continue to be subject to time-based vesting following the change of control.

Unless the Committee determines otherwise or as provided in the applicable award agreement, if a participant’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the participant for good reason, in either case, upon or within 24 months following the change of control, the participant’s outstanding awards will become fully vested as of the date of termination.

In addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding awards, without the consent of any participant: (i) determine that participants will receive a payment in settlement of outstanding stock units, cash awards or dividend equivalents in such amount and form as may be determined by the Committee; (ii) require that participants surrender their outstanding stock options and SARs in exchange for a payment, in cash or stock as determined by the Committee, equal to the amount (if any) by which the fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to the unexercised stock option and SAR exceed the stock option exercise price or base price; and (iii) modify the terms of awards to add events, conditions or circumstances upon which vesting of such awards or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate. Any such surrender, termination or payment will take place as of the date of the change of control or such other date as the Committee may specify. If the per share fair market value of our stock does not exceed the per share exercise price or base price, as applicable, we will not be required to make any payment to the participant upon surrender of the stock option or SAR.

Under the Amended Plan, “change of control” means:

Any individual, entity or group, other than the Company or an employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 30% of our voting stock;

Individuals who, as of May 4, 2012, constituted our Board of Directors (referred to as the incumbent board) cease to constitute at least a majority of our Board of Directors. Any individual who becomes a director after such date and whose election or nomination was approved by a vote or by approval of the proxy statement in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination, of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the incumbent board will be considered a member of the incumbent board. However, no individual who was initially elected as a member of our Board of Directors in connection with an actual or threatened election contest or settlement of an actual or threatened election contest will be considered to be a member of the incumbent board;

Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company, unless, following such transaction, (i) our shareholders immediately before the transaction own more than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before the transaction, (ii) any individual or entity (excluding the corporation resulting from the transaction or any

8


employee benefit plan or plans of the Company or such corporation) beneficially owns 30% or more of the voting stock of the corporation resulting from the transaction and (iii) at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from the transaction were members of the incumbent board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or action of the Board of Director providing for such transaction;
Consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or
Shareholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
The Committee may provide a different definition of change of control in an award agreement if it determines a different definition is necessary or appropriate, including to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Restrictions on Repricing . We may not, without obtaining shareholder approval, (i) amend the terms of outstanding stock options or SARs to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding stock options or base price of such SARs, (ii) cancel outstanding stock options or SARs in exchange for stock options or SARs with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original stock options or SARs or (iii) cancel outstanding stock options or SARs with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, above the current stock price in exchange for cash or other securities, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including a change of control). No stock options or stock appreciation rights will be granted with automatic reload features.
Clawback Policy . All awards made under the Amended Plan shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Company’s clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies, share holding and other policies that may be implemented and approved by the Board of Directors, as such policy may be in effect from time to time.
Amendment, Termination . The Board may amend, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Amended Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant awards under the Amended Plan without shareholder approval, provided that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment that will require shareholder approval as a matter of law or regulation or under the NYSE rules. Unless earlier terminated, the Amended Plan will terminate ten years after its approval by shareholders.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Implications of the Amended Plan
The U.S. federal income tax consequences arising with respect to awards granted under the Amended Plan will depend on the type of award. From the recipients’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of payment of cash, or delivery of actual shares. Future appreciation on shares held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable at capital gains rates when the shares are sold. The Company, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the recipient, and the Company will not be entitled to any tax deduction in respect of capital gain income recognized by the recipient.
Exceptions to these general rules may arise under the following circumstances: (i) if shares, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of failure to satisfy any employment or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and the Company’s tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses (unless the recipient makes a special election to ignore the risk of forfeiture); (ii) if an employee is granted a stock option that qualifies as “incentive stock option,” no ordinary income will be recognized, and the Company will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares acquired upon exercise of such option are held more than the longer of one year from the date of exercise and two years from the date of grant; (iii) the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction for compensation attributable to awards granted to one of its covered employees, if and to the extent such compensation does not qualify as “performance-based” compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and such compensation, along with any other non-performance-based compensation paid in the same calendar year, exceeds $1 million; and (iv) an award may be taxable at 20 percentage points above ordinary income tax rates at the time it becomes vested, even if that is prior to the delivery of the cash or stock in settlement of the award, if the award constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code are not satisfied. The foregoing provides only a general description of the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to certain awards granted to U.S. taxpayers under the Amended Plan.

This discussion is intended for the information of shareholders considering how to vote at the Annual Meeting and not as tax guidance to participants in the Amended Plan, as the tax consequences may vary with the types of awards made, the identity of the recipients and the method of payment or settlement. This summary does not address the effects of other federal taxes (including possible “golden parachute” excise taxes) or taxes imposed under state, local, or foreign tax laws.
New Plan Benefits under the Amended Plan
Future benefits under the Amended Plan generally will be granted at the discretion of the Committee and are therefore not currently determinable. The last reported sale price of a share of our common stock on March 7, 2016 was $62.82 per share.
The table below shows, as to each of the Company’s executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement and the various indicated individuals and groups, the awards granted between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015.
