EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-186849), originally filed by Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (now named Koninklijke Philips N.V.), relates to:

 

   

the Philips North America Nonqualified Stock Purchase Plan (the “ Restated ESPP ”);

 

   

the Global Philips Performance Share Plan applicable to non-executives (excluding Executive Committee) (the “ Non-Executive PS LTIP ”);

 

   

the Global Philips Performance Share Plan applicable to the Board of Management (the “ BM PS LTIP ”);

 

   

the Global Philips Performance Share Plan applicable to the Executive Committee (excluding Board of Management) (the “ EC PS LTIP ”);

 

   

the Global Philips Restricted Share Rights Plan applicable to non-executives (excluding Executive Committee) (the “ Non-Executive PRS LTIP ”); and

 

   

the Global Philips Restricted Share Rights Plan applicable to the Executive Committee (excluding Board of Management) (the “ EC PRS LTIP ”, together with the Non-Executive PS LTIP, the BM PS LTIP, the EC PS LTIP and the Non-Executive PRS LTIP the “ New LTIPs ”).

The registrant filed the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-186849) on February 25, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) to register 10,000,000 common shares, par value 0.20 euro per share, under the Koninklijke Philips N.V. Nonqualified Stock Purchase Plan (incorporated therein by reference to Exhibit 4.1 of Koninklijke Philips N.V’s registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333165017), filed with the Commission on February 22, 2010) (the “ Old ESPP ”) and 87,500,000 common shares, par value 0.20 euro per share, under the Global Royal Philips Electronics Long-Term Incentive Plan applicable to executives and key employees (excluding the Board of Management and Executive Committee), the Global Royal Philips Electronics Long-Term Incentive Plan applicable to the members of the Board of Management of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. and the Global Royal Philips Electronics Long-Term Incentive Plan applicable to the members of the Executive Committee (excluding the Board of Management) of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. The registrant paid the requisite registration fees of $390,060 to register the aggregate 97,500,000 common shares.

An aggregate of 10,000,000 common shares had been registered for offering pursuant to the Old ESPP. The registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-8 to reflect the adoption of the Restated ESPP, attached hereto as Exhibit Nos. 4.1 and 4.2 to the Registration Statement, which amends and restates the Old ESPP. An aggregate of 4,619,890 common shares had been purchased under the Old ESPP. No further common shares will be purchased under the Old ESPP. An aggregate of up to 5,380,110 common shares originally allocated by the registrant for offering under the Old ESPP are eligible for offering under the Restated ESPP.

An aggregate of 87,500,000 common shares had been registered for offering pursuant to the Old LTIPs. An aggregate of up to 28,553,105 common shares have or may be delivered by the registrant pursuant to awards granted under the Old LTIPs that have vested or may vest. No further awards will be granted under the Old LTIPs. The registrant is also filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-8 because an aggregate of up to 58,946,895 common shares originally allocated for offering by the registrant pursuant to the Old LTIPs are eligible for offering under the New LTIPs.

 

1


After giving effect to this Post-Effective Amendment, an aggregate of up to 58,946,895 common shares have been registered for offering pursuant to the Restated ESPP and an aggregate of up to 5,380,110 common shares have been registered for offering pursuant to the New LTIPs.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement shall become effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 464 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In accordance with SEC Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43, no new filing fee is due with respect to this Post-Effective Amendment.

Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar

 

5


value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however , that if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) above is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) shall not apply;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Definitions

 

  2.1

“Administrator” : A third party appointed by the Committee to provide administrative services for the Plan.

 

  2.2

“Affiliate” : Present or future subsidiary of the Company, where the Company owns directly or indirectly at least 80% of the subsidiary.

 

  2.3

“Board” : The Board of Managers of Philips North America LLC.

 

  2.4

“Code” : Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

  2.5

“Committee” : Committee of not less than 3, nor more than 5 members appointed by the Board or its designee and responsible for administration of the Plan.

 

  2.6

“Common Shares” : Common shares of Koninklijke Philips N.V.

 

  2.7

“Company” : Koninklijke Philips N.V.

 

  2.8

“Contribution Account” : A Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions in a Participation Period.

 

  2.9

“Earnings” : Earnings include a Participant’s cash compensation received during the Participation Period from salary and wages.

 

   

Salary and wages include overtime pay, bonuses (except as provided below), holiday pay, vacation pay, patent awards for any calendar year, commissions, shift differential premiums, short-term disability payments and salary, overtime and bonuses (pursuant to a division sale) which are paid as part of the normal arrears pay cycle. Any amounts paid to a Participant as compensation for services will not fail to be treated as Earnings under the Plan merely because the compensation is not includible in the Participant’s gross income due to the location of the services. Additionally, a Participant’s compensation for services will not fail to be treated as Earnings under the Plan merely because those amounts are paid by an Employer with respect to which all compensation paid to the Participant by such Employer is excluded from gross income.


   

Salary and wages exclude bonuses (whether discretionary or contractual) exceeding 100% of a Participant’s annual base salary in effect at the time bonuses are paid.

 

   

Salary and wages also do not include: expense allowances or reimbursements; deferred compensation; lump sum severance and accrued vacation payments; amounts realized from the exercise of non-statutory stock options (other than a statutory option defined in Section 1.421-1(b) of the Department of Labor Regulations); amounts realized when restricted stock or other property held by a Participant either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; amounts realized from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of stock acquired under a statutory stock option; other amounts that receive tax benefits; cash payments received for waiving employer-sponsored medical or dental benefit plans (including any matching contributions relating thereto); distributions from any long-term incentive plan; perquisites; long-term disability payments; special payments such as moving and living allowances, sign-on bonuses, retainers, lump sum stay bonuses and similar special payments; and any long-term key employee compensation program. (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees which replaces the foregoing definition.)

 

  2.10

“Eligible Employee” : Each U.S. based salaried or hourly Full-Time Employee who is employed by an Employer and with respect to whom salary deductions can be administered, other than an Excluded Employee. For purposes of this Plan, the term “employee” includes only persons treated as such on the Employer’s payroll and personnel records at the time such determination is made. Persons treated by the Employer as contingent workers (including independent contractors, third-party payroll workers, employees of consulting firms and temporary help agencies, even if leased employees within the meaning of Section 414(n)(2) of the Code) at the time of the determination of the person’s status are specifically excluded.

Eligibility status at the time of a determination of a person’s employment status shall not be changed as a result of the retroactive re-classification of the person’s employment status. Therefore, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any person treated as a contingent worker on the payroll and personnel records of the Employer at the time the determination is made shall in no event be retroactively eligible for participation in the plan during the period covered by such determination. (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees which replaces the foregoing definition.)

 

  2.11

“Employer” : Employer includes Philips Canada, Philips North America LLC and any Affiliate in the U.S. which is designated by Philips North America LLC from time to time (i) as a participating employer in its company-sponsored tax-qualified defined contribution plan or (ii) as an Employer under this Plan. (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees.) Effective as

 

2


  of April 1, 2017, Employer does not include Philips Lighting North America Corporation, Genlyte Thomas Group LLC and Strand Lighting, LLC. Participation of an Employer shall terminate automatically if, at any time, the Employer fails to qualify as an “Affiliate.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may terminate the participation of any Employer under this Plan at any time, without notice.

 

  2.12

“Employer Contribution” : The amount contributed by a Participant’s Employer to a Participant’s Contribution Account pursuant to this Plan.

 

  2.13

“Exchange Act” : The U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all rules and regulations thereunder.

 

  2.14

“Excluded Employee” : Those employees of any Employer who shall, from time to time, be ineligible to participate in the Plan, as determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and as specified herein.

 

  2.15

“Full-Time Employee” : Any employee of an Employer who is regularly scheduled to work a minimum of thirty (30) hours per week and at least 1,500 hours per calendar year. The employment of a Full-Time Employee is referred to herein as “Full-Time Employment.” (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees.)

 

  2.16

  2.17

“Participant” : An Eligible Employee who has enrolled in the Plan pursuant to procedures set out in the Plan.

  2.23

“Purchase Price” : The average cost of the Common Shares purchased on the Purchase Date(s) for the Participation Period.

Termination of Participation

 

  4.1

Voluntary Discontinuance . Participants may discontinue payroll deductions by making a request to change their payroll deductions to the Administrator. This discontinuance in payroll deductions for a Participation Period will take effect as soon as administratively possible. Following such discontinuance any balance in the Participant’s Contribution Account at the end of the Participation Period shall be used to purchase Common Shares.

 

  4.2

Employment Termination, Transfer to a Nonparticipating Affiliate or Death . Payroll deductions cease upon employment termination, transfer to a nonparticipating Affiliate or death of a Participant during a Participation Period and each such Participant will be deemed to have discontinued Plan participation on the first day of such Participation Period. Any balance in the Participant’s Contribution Account at that time shall be refunded without interest to the Participant by the first pay period that follows the end of the Participation Period in which the termination occurs.

 

  4.3

Retirement . Payroll deductions cease at Retirement. The balance credited to the Participant’s Contribution Account shall be used to purchase Common Shares on the Purchase Date of the Participation Period in which Retirement occurs.

 

  4.4

Unpaid Leave of Absence . Payroll deductions cease when the Participant begins an unpaid leave of absence. The balance credited to the Participant’s Contribution Account shall be used to purchase Common Shares on the Purchase Date for the Participation Period in which the unpaid leave of absence begins. If an Eligible Employee returns from an unpaid leave of absence to Full-Time Employment, that Eligible Employee will be automatically re-enrolled in the Plan at the prior authorized deduction level, and payroll deductions will take effect as soon as administratively possible, unless changed by the Eligible Employee or otherwise limited under the terms of the Plan.

 

  4.5

Sale of Shares . A Participant may sell any Common Shares in the Plan at any time without restriction, other than as may be restricted by insider trading rules.

Common Shares available for purchase by Participants under the Plan will be authorized and issued Common Shares acquired by the Administrator on behalf of Participants, through the facilities of NYSE for the purposes of the Plan. The acquisition of Common Shares shall comply with applicable laws, Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, and NYSE rules.

Purchasing Shares.

 

  6.1

Contribution Accounts . Payroll deductions authorized by the Participant shall be credited to the Participant’s Contribution Account, without interest. All Contribution Accounts will be maintained by the Administrator. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Contribution Account as of a Purchase Date(s) shall be used to purchase Common Shares for the Participant on the Purchase Date(s) at the Purchase Price.

 

  6.2

Dividends . The Company is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which any dividend on any Common Shares acquired by a Participant pursuant to this Plan is paid to such Participant. Any dividend to be paid to such Participant in cash shall be reinvested upon their distribution (after withholding of applicable Dutch tax) into the Participant’s Contribution Account and the net amount (after withholding tax) used to purchase additional Common Shares for a Participant at the prevailing market price. For greater certainty, no Employer Contribution shall be made in respect of purchases of Common Shares by a Participant using dividends. In the event a dividend is paid in cash, such dividend shall first be declared in Euros, but will be paid in U.S. dollars converted at the U.S. Dollar/Euro rate fixed by the European Central Bank on a date to be announced by the Company.

 

  6.3

Employee Contributions . Participants may contribute any whole percentage between 1 percent and 10 percent of their Earnings. No Eligible Employee shall be permitted to contribute more than a total of $20,000 ($20,000 Canadian dollars for Canadian employees) of payroll deductions to his or her Contribution Account for all Participation Periods during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may cause a Participant’s payroll deduction to be decreased to 0%. The Committee will establish procedures for making changes in the level of payroll deductions.

 

  6.4

Employer Contributions . Each Employer shall contribute to a Participant’s Contribution Account for each Participation Period such amount so that 15 percent of the Purchase Price for each Common Share purchased under the Plan for a Participant is funded by the Employer Contribution. The Employer may, with sixty (60) days’ notice to Eligible Employees, change such percentage for the Employer Contribution.

 

  6.5

Share Certificates . As soon as reasonably practicable following each Purchase Date, Common Shares purchased under this Plan shall be credited to the Participant’s Share Account. Physical delivery of share certificates will be provided to Participants upon request.

Amendment and Termination

 

  7.1

Amendment . The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan, at any time. Participants will receive timely notice of any amendments to the Plan. No amendment shall be made which adversely affects Participants’ entitlements under this Plan with respect to employee contributions which have been made prior to the date of such amendment.

 

  7.2

Termination . The Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. If the Plan is suspended or terminated, the Committee shall give notice to affected Participants, terminate all payroll deductions and, at its discretion, apply any balances remaining in Participants’ Contribution Accounts to the purchase of Common Shares or pay Participants any balances (without interest) remaining in their Contribution Accounts as soon as practicable following the termination of the Plan.

 

8.

General Provisions

 

  8.1

Administration . The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have full authority to administer the Plan (except the power to designate an Affiliate as an Employer) including authority to:

 

   

establish rules and procedures for Plan administration not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan document (including, but not limited to, procedures pursuant to which the Company may withhold or debit Common Shares held in a Participant’s Share Account in an amount (based on the fair market value of such Common Shares as of the date such Common Shares are withheld or debited) sufficient to cover all expenses incurred in connection with administration of such account, notwithstanding that thereby the balance of Common Shares in a Participant’s Share Account may be reduced to zero and the Participant’s Share Account terminated);

 

   

interpret terms and provisions of the Plan;

 

   

determine all questions arising under the Plan, including correction of any defect, omission or inconsistency of the Plan;

 

   

amend or terminate the Plan, including amending the Plan to reflect changes in applicable law; and

 

   

delegate administrative responsibilities under the Plan, including the responsibility to keep records of individual benefits, but not its power to amend or terminate the Plan.

 

  8.2

Rights not Transferable . Participants may not transfer Share Purchase Rights granted under the Plan. No Share Purchase Right shall be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempt to assign, transfer, attach, or otherwise dispose of any Share Purchase Right shall be null and void and may be treated, at the discretion of the committee, as notice of voluntary discontinuance under Section 4.1. Share Purchase Rights may be exercised only by the Participant or by the Participant’s legal representative during the Participant’s lifetime.

 

7


  8.3

No Contract of Employment . Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Employer, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Employer or to discharge or retire any Eligible Employee at any time.

 

  8.4

Tax Withholding . Taxable income attributable to the Employer Contribution will be subject to income tax, FICA and other applicable withholding and such amounts will be deducted from the Participant’s next available paycheck following the purchase of Common Shares. Alternative withholding arrangements may be made in unusual circumstances. (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees which replaces the foregoing two sentences.)

 

  8.5

Applicable Law . The purchase and delivery of Common Shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, regulations, rules and approvals, including, but not limited to, effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company. Certificates of Common Shares purchased hereunder may be legended, as the Company deems appropriate.

This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, and this Plan shall be interpreted to comply with such requirements.

Questions relating to the validity, construction, and administration of the Plan shall be determined under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

APPENDIX A – PLAN SPECIFICATIONS FOR PHILIPS CANADA EMPLOYEES

The following definitions and specifications apply to Participants employed by Philips Canada. All defined terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth below under “Definitions”, and all defined terms used herein and not defined below shall retain the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

Participation

Full-Time Employees (except as specifically indicated below) of Philips Electronics Ltd. and Canadian Affiliates (“Philips Canada”) who are based in Canada are eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the first day of the first month immediately following a period of 90 days during which time such employee was at all times considered a Full-Time Employee (the “90 Day Requirement”), which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee. For purposes of determining whether a Full-Time Employee has satisfied the 90 Day Requirement, the Committee shall take into account all service terms of such Full-Time Employees, which were rendered prior to the date on which Philips Electronics Ltd. adopted the Plan (the “Adoption Date”); provided, however, that this sentence shall only apply to individuals who are Full-Time Employees as of the Adoption Date. Effective as of April 1, 2017, employees of Philips Lighting Canada Ltd. will not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Philips Canada employees covered under a collective agreement will only be eligible to participate in this Plan at such time as their participation has been negotiated by Philips Canada and their bargaining unit.

Excluded Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

For purposes of application of the Plan to Participants employed by Philips Canada, the following definitions found in Appendix A of the Plan or herein shall be read as follows:

Definitions

“Canadian Affiliate”: Present or future affiliated corporations of the Company carrying on business in and from Canada, registered and resident in Canada and in which the Company owns directly or indirectly at least 50 % of the affiliated corporation.

“Disability”: A Participant will be considered to have a disability if such Participant is considered to have a long-term “disability” under the applicable long-term disability plan in which it participates or under which the Participant is covered for purposes of receiving disability coverage or benefits, whether such plan is provided by Philips Canada or any Canadian governmental agency or body.

“Earnings”: Earnings include salary, bonus payment and commission. Earnings does not include any other forms of compensation such as, overtime, group bonus plans, profit sharing or improvement plans, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance payments, payments in lieu of notice, stock options, deferred compensation, distributions from any long term incentive plan, perquisites, long term disability payments, payments from an accident or sickness program, whether paid by Philips Canada or by any applicable government or regulatory organization such as workers compensation, monetary or non-monetary performance or seniority awards, etc.

 

A-1


“Eligibility”: Each Eligible Employee may become a Participant on the first day of the first month immediately following a period of 90 days during which time such employee was at all times considered a Full-Time Employee, which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee, except that an Eligible Employee covered under a collective agreement will only be eligible for participation in this Plan at such time as their participation has been negotiated by Philips Canada and their bargaining unit.

“Eligible Employee”: Each Canadian based Full-Time Employee, whether paid on an hourly or salaried basis.

“Full-Time Employee”: An employee of Philips Canada who is regularly scheduled to work at least 35 hours per week, who is not a temporary or contract employee, nor a unionized employee.

“Philips Canada”: Philips Electronics Ltd. and its Canadian Affiliates.

General Information

Tax Withholding

On the date of purchase of Common Shares, a Participant would owe ordinary income tax on the difference between the closing market price per Common Share and what the Participant actually pays for each Common Share under the Plan. Taxes are withheld from the Participant’s next available paycheque after the purchase date. Both the benefit per Common Share and the tax withheld are reflected on that cheque and included in the year-end T-4 and Releve 1 (Quebec taxpayers only) statement.

Currency

As the Company’s Common Shares trade on NYSE in U.S. dollars, payroll deductions will be converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the time of purchase of the Common Shares. In addition to changes in share price, there is also a currency risk. Because the Company’s Common Shares trade in U.S. dollars, the value of the Common Shares will fluctuate in relation to the Canadian dollar.

Certain Canadian Federal and Provincial Income Tax Consequences

The following tax discussion is for general guidance and may change over time. Participants are advised to consult their tax advisor for more detailed information.

 

A-2


Purchasing Shares

The Employer Contribution to a Participant’s Contribution Account is taxable as ordinary income and is subject to federal and provincial income taxes as well as CPP/QPP. Taxes will be automatically withheld from the Participants’ next available paycheque following the Common Share purchase in accordance with their regular tax withholding elections. If a Participant is not actively receiving a paycheque he/she will receive a net zero paycheque to reflect the taxes. The ordinary income amount will be included in the T-4 and Releve 1 (Quebec taxpayers only) statement for the year.

Reinvested Dividends

Participants will be subject to Canadian income tax on reinvested dividends in the year the dividends are issued. Non-resident tax of 15% will be withheld on reinvested dividends in the year the dividends are issued. Participants will be issued the appropriate tax form on or around February 28 of the following year covering the dividend and the non-resident tax deducted. The deducted non-resident tax can normally be used as a credit against Canadian taxes owing in respect of the reinvested dividends. The tax credit may be claimed when filing the personal income tax return in April of the following year.

Selling Shares

When Participants sell their Common Shares, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires Participants to report these activities on their annual tax return. Any further gain/loss after the purchase of these Common Shares will be taxed as a gain or loss in accordance with applicable law.

A gain occurs when a Participant sells Common Shares for a higher price than the adjusted cost base of the Common Shares.

A loss occurs when a Participant sells Common Shares for a lower price than the adjusted cost base of the Common Shares.

In general, the adjusted cost base of a particular Common Share will be the weighted average purchase price for all the Common Shares owned by a Participant, both within the Participant’s account and outside of it (except for Common Shares held in any trusteed accounts like RRSPs). For example, if the Participant purchased 10 Common Shares for $30.00 in one Participation Period and then purchased 5 Common Shares at $40.00 in the next Participation Period, the adjusted cost base for each Common Share following the second Participation Period would be $33.33 (i.e. [(10 x $30.00) + (5 x $40.00)] ÷ 15.

Canadian Securities Laws

Participation in the Plan is voluntary and is subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. Common Shares acquired under the Plan by employees of Philips Canada may only be sold through the facilities of the NYSE.

 

A-3

Exhibit 4.2

AMENDMENT

TO THE

PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA NONQUALIFIED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Philips North America Nonqualified Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), as amended and restated as of April 1, 2017, is hereby amended as follows:

 

  1.

Effective as of January 1, 2019, Section 2.15 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Full-Time Employee” : Any employee of an Employer who is regularly scheduled to work a minimum of thirty (30) hours per week and at least 1,500 hours per calendar year and is not designated as a student employee by the Employer. The employment of a Full-Time Employee is referred to herein as “Full-Time Employment.” (See Appendix A for applicable definition for Philips Canada employees.)

 

  2.

Effective as of January 1, 2019, Section 4.5 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

  4.5

Sale of Shares . A Participant may sell any Common Shares in the Plan at any time without restriction, other than as may be restricted by insider trading rules. Effective as of January 1, 2019, a Participant who terminates employment has one hundred eighty (180) days from his termination of employment or Retirement to sell or transfer the Common Shares in the Participant’s Share Account. If no action is taken by such a Participant within such time period, the Administrator will automatically sell any Common Shares in the Share Account on the Participant’s behalf as soon as administratively possible after the end of the 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants who experienced a termination of employment or Retirement prior to January 1, 2019, and are not listed as deceased in the Administrator’s systems shall have a one-time window beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on April 1, 2019, to sell or transfer the Common Shares in their Share Accounts, at the end of the which any remaining Common Shares in their Share Accounts will be sold by the Administrator. (The changes to this Section 4.5 effective as of January 1, 2019, shall not apply for Philips Canada employees until specifically adopted for Philips Canada employees by the Committee.)

Article 3

Termination of Employment

 

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for any reason whatsoever prior to the applicable Vesting Date, such Participant’s Awards shall be forfeited effective as of the date of termination of such Participant’s employment with the Employing Company without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing to the Participant in question. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding and may be subject to such conditions as Philips may determine appropriate.

 

2.

In case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

death or

 

  (ii)

Subject to Article 3.4, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

disablement or

 

  (ii)

retirement

such Participant shall remain entitled to any Awards granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such termination subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

For the purpose of this Plan, unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing to the Participant in question, a Participant’s employment shall be deemed terminated as a result of “retirement” if such Participant’s employment is terminated and such Participant satisfies at the date of such termination the eligibility requirements to receive an immediate (early) retirement benefit under an (early) retirement plan of an Employing Company under which such Participant was covered, provided that payment of such (early) retirement benefit commences immediately following such termination.

 

4.

In case – in the reasonable opinion of Philips – a Participant

 

  a.

Breaches the non-competition obligations ; or

 

  b.

Within one year from the date of termination, directly or indirectly on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicits or attempts to solicit, divert or hire away any person employed by Philips or any Employing Company or any customer of Philips or any Employing Company; or

 

  c.

Disparages the Employing Company or the Employing Company’s officers, directors or employees, in any manner likely to be harmful to any of them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that the Participant may respond fully and accurately to any questions, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

Philips has the discretion to decide that the Awards still outstanding will – in whole or in part – be forfeited with immediate effect, without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company.

Article 4

Non-transferability

The Awards are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred (except that, in case of death of the Participant any Awards granted to such Participant at the date of his death shall pass to his heirs or legatees), pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner. The Participant may not engage in any transactions on any exchange or otherwise on the basis of any Awards, such as hedging his Awards exposure on the basis of any Awards. Any violation of the terms of this Article 4 will cause the Awards to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Participant being entitled to any compensation.

Article 5

Delivery and Holding of Shares

Philips may require a Participant to maintain a personal brokerage account in connection with this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan shall obligate Philips to establish or maintain or cause to establish or maintain a Nominee Account for any Participant.

 

2.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, and further to the Participants tax election, Philips will deliver Shares pursuant to an Award to a Participant on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Vesting Date.

4.

Except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Philips in its sole discretion, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company, the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall withdraw all Shares credited to the Participant’s Nominee Account within:

 

  (a)

one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such termination, or

 

  (b)

five (5) years from the date of such termination in case of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  i.

death,

 

  ii.

legal incapacity,

 

  iii.

disablement or

 

  iv.

retirement.

In case the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, then Philips reserves the right to sell the Shares on behalf of the Participant and Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized to such sale or to request the administrator to collect the cost of the Participant’s Nominee Account from the Participant.

 

5.

Each Participant shall comply with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations and the Philips’ Rules of Conduct with respect to Inside Information.

Article 6

Capital Dilution

Philips may make – but is not under any obligation to do so – equitable adjustment or substitution of the number or kind of Shares subject to the Awards, as it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by Philips, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.

Article 7

Dividend Equivalent

The Participant will have no rights to dividends in respect of Shares comprised in an Award prior to the delivery of any such Shares. However, Awards will be adjusted for any payment of dividend by Philips between the Date of Grant and the Vesting Date.

4.

Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares to a Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account until Philips has received an amount, or the Participant has made such arrangements required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

 

5.

Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized by the Participant to sell (part of) Participant’s Shares credited to a Nominee Account and to maintain such part of the proceeds of this sale as payment to Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

In assessing the extent to which the Performance Conditions and/or any other condition imposed on the award was satisfied, such assessment was based on an error, inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions and that such error, information or assumptions would have resulted or did in fact result either directly or indirectly in that Award vesting (or being capable of vesting) to a greater degree than would have been the case had that error not been made; or

  1.

An Award may be granted to an eligible individual, subject to (the acceptance by such individual of) the terms and conditions of such Award and any other Philips’ policies or guidelines that may apply from time to time to such individual. An Award offered to any such individual and the terms and conditions governing such Award shall be deemed accepted by such individual with effect from the Date of Grant in case Philips has not received, in accordance with a procedure established by Philips, a notice of rejection of such Award within fourteen (14) days of the notice of grant or such later date as may be determined by Philips.

 

  2.

At the end of the Performance Period, the Supervisory Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which the Performance Conditions have been achieved and will calculate the number of Shares (if any) that will vest for the relevant period. In doing so the Supervisory Board shall have a discretionary authority, and shall be entitled to take into account such facts and circumstances as it deems appropriate in the context of such determination, an appropriate remuneration of the Participant, and/or in the interest of Philips. Furthermore the so-called ultimum remedium clause of article 2: 135 sub 2 of the Dutch Civil Code shall apply. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

Page 3 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

  3.

Subject to the provisions of Article 2.2 and 2.4 an Award will vest based on two equally weighted Performance Conditions:

 

  a.

50% of an Award will vest 0%—200% depending on Relative TSR. The vesting levels for Relative TSR are outlined in the table below, which results in zero vesting for performance below the 40th percentile and 200% vesting for performance levels above the 75th percentile:

 

TSR Philips

   20 - 14    13    12    11    10    9    8    7    6    5 - 1

Vesting %

   0    60    80    100    120    140    160    180    190    200

 

  b.

50% of an Award will vest 0% - 200% depending on EPS Growth. The vesting levels for EPS Growth are outlined in the table below:

 

Adjusted EPS Growth

   Below
Minimum
    Minimum     Target     Maximum  

Vesting

     0     40     100     200

 

  4.

The Supervisory Board shall have the discretionary authority to determine:

 

  a.

The adjustments to be made for changes in accounting principles/policies and/or whether any further adjustments in extraordinary circumstances (e.g. impairments, restructuring activities, pension items, M&A transactions and costs, currency fluctuations) with a significant impact should be made and the number of Shares outstanding used for the calculation of EPS Growth;

 

  b.

The composition – including any amendment thereof – of the Philips Peer Group and the vesting levels for Relative TSR from time to time, taking into account the parameters set by the Shareholders Meeting;

 

  c.

Whether any unforeseen circumstances justify an adjustment of the vesting levels of the Performance Conditions considering circumstances that were not foreseen at the Date of Grant, and

 

  d.

To what extent and how any determination(s) made under a, b and c shall impact (the achievement of) the Performance Conditions of the relevant Award.

Article 3

Termination of Assignment

 

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3, in case a Participant is no longer assigned by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s assignment with an Employing Company for any reason whatsoever prior to the applicable Vesting Date, such Participant’s Awards shall be forfeited effective as of the date of termination of such Participant’s assignment with the Employing Company without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company unless the Supervisory Board determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing to the Participant in question. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding and may be subject to such conditions as the Supervisory Board may determine appropriate.

 

Page 4 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

  2.

In case a Participant is no longer assigned by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s assignment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

death or

 

  (ii)

legal incapacity,

the estate of the Participant or his or her legal representative(s), as the case may be, shall remain entitled to any Awards granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such termination subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

 

  3.

Subject to Article 3.4, in case a Participant is no longer employed/assigned by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s assignment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

disablement or

 

  (ii)

retirement or

 

  (iii)

the expiration of agreement of assignment (“overeenkomst van opdracht”),

such Participant shall remain entitled to any Awards granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such termination subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

For the purpose of this Plan, unless the Supervisory Board determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing to the Participant in question, a Participant’s assignment shall be deemed terminated as a result of “retirement” if such Participant’s assignment is terminated and such Participant satisfies at the date of such termination the eligibility requirements to receive an immediate (early) retirement benefit under an (early) retirement plan of an Employing Company under which such Participant was covered, provided that payment of such (early) retirement benefit commences immediately following such termination.

 

  4.

In case – in the reasonable opinion of Philips – a Participant

 

  a.

Breaches the non-competition obligations; or

 

  b.

Within one year from the date of termination, directly or indirectly on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicits or attempts to solicit, divert or hire away any person employed by Philips or any Employing Company or any customer of Philips or any Employing Company; or

 

  c.

Disparages the Employing Company or the Employing Company’s officers, directors or employees, in any manner likely to be harmful to any of them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that the Participant may respond fully and accurately to any questions, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

the Supervisory Board has the discretion to decide that the Awards still outstanding will – in whole or in part – be forfeited with immediate effect, without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company.

 

Page 5 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

Article 4

Non-transferability

The Awards are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred (except that, in case of death of the Participant any Awards granted to such Participant at the date of his death shall pass to his heirs or legatees), pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner. The Participant may not engage in any transactions on any exchange or otherwise on the basis of any Awards, such as hedging his Awards exposure on the basis of any Awards. Any violation of the terms of this Article 4 will cause the Awards to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Participant being entitled to any compensation.

Article 5

Delivery and Holding of Shares

 

1.

Philips may require a Participant to maintain a personal brokerage account in connection with this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan shall obligate Philips to establish or maintain or cause to establish or maintain a Nominee Account for any Participant.

 

2.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, and further to the Participants tax election, Philips will deliver Shares pursuant to an Award to a Participant on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Vesting Date. In no event shall Philips have any obligation to deliver any Shares to a Participant prior to the relevant Vesting Date.

 

3.

Any Shares to be delivered pursuant to Article 5.2 will be credited to the Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account.

 

4.

Except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Philips in its sole discretion, in case a Participant is no longer employed/assigned by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s assignment with an Employing Company, the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall withdraw all Shares credited to the Participant’s Nominee Account within:

 

  (a)

one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such termination, or

 

  (b)

five (5) years from the date of such termination in case of the termination of such Participant’s assignment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  i.

death,

 

  ii.

legal incapacity,

 

  iii.

disablement,

 

  iv.

retirement or

 

  v.

the expiration of any agreement of assignment.

In case the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, then Philips reserves the right to sell the Shares on behalf of the Participant and Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized to such sale or to request the administrator to collect the cost of the Participant’s Nominee Account from the Participant.

 

5.

Each Participant shall comply with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations and the Philips’ Rules of Conduct with respect to Inside Information.

Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

Article 6

Capital Dilution

The Supervisory Board may make – but is not under any obligation to do so – equitable adjustment or substitution of the number or kind of Shares subject to the Awards, as it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by Philips, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.

Article 7

Dividend Equivalent

The Participant will have no rights to dividends in respect of Shares comprised in an Award prior to the delivery of any such Shares. However, Awards will be adjusted for any payment of dividend by Philips between the Date of Grant and the Vesting Date. Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which the number of Shares comprised in the Award will be increased. These additional Shares will only be delivered to the extent the Award vests.

Article 8

Costs and Taxes

 

  1.

All costs of delivering any Shares under this Plan to a Participant’s Nominee Account and any other costs connected with the Shares shall be borne by the Participant.

 

  2.

Any and all taxes, duties, levies, charges or social security contributions (“Taxes”) which arise under any applicable national, state, local or supra-national laws, rules or regulations, whether already effective on the Date of Grant of any Award or becoming effective thereafter, and any changes or modifications therein and termination thereof which may result for the Participant in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Award, the ownership of the Award and/or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan, the ownership and/or the sale of any Shares acquired under this Plan) shall be for the sole risk and account of the Participant.

 

  3.

Philips and any other Employing Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any salary payment or other sums due by Philips or any other Employing Company to Participant, or requiring the Participant or beneficiary of the Participant, to pay to Philips an amount necessary to settle any Taxes and any costs determined by Philips necessary to be withheld in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Award or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan).

 

  4.

Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares to a Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account until Philips has received an amount, or the Participant has made such arrangements required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

 

Page 7 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

  5.

Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized by the Participant to sell (part of) Participant’s Shares credited to a Nominee Account and to maintain such part of the proceeds of this sale as payment to Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

Article 9

Dividend Payment on Shares

Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which dividend on any Shares delivered to a Participant pursuant to this Plan and deposited on the Nominee Account at the applicable record date, is paid to such Participant including, but not limited to, the payment of dividend by means of a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which the dividend will be reinvested in the purchase of Shares.

Article 10

Change of Control

In the event of a change of control situation, the Supervisory Board shall have the discretion to accelerate the vesting of Awards, subject to the achievement of the Performance Conditions to the date of completion of the change of control in accordance with the vesting levels, taking into account the principles of reasonableness and fairness and, unless the Supervisory Board determines otherwise, the part of the Award which vest will be reduced on a time pro-rated basis.

Article 11

General Provisions

 

  1.

Philips shall have the authority to: i) interpret this Plan, ii) establish, amend, and rescind any terms and conditions of this Plan including any rules and regulations relating to this Plan and/or establish supplements to comply with or suit country specific requirements, iii) determine the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable.

Page 8 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

  2.

The Supervisory Board may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of such incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of Philips and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to an individual under these terms and conditions, if:

 

  a.

Equity-based incentive compensation under these terms and conditions has been granted and/or has vested on the basis of incorrect financial or other data; or

 

  b.

In assessing the extent to which the Performance Conditions and/or any other condition imposed on the award was satisfied, such assessment was based on an error, inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions and that such error, information or assumptions would have resulted or did in fact result either directly or indirectly in that Award vesting (or being capable of vesting) to a greater degree than would have been the case had that error not been made; or

 

  c.

There are circumstances which would warrant Philips or the Employing Company summarily dismissing (or requesting in court the termination of the employment of) that individual – for instance on the basis of article 677 or 685 Dutch Civil Code – (whether or not Philips or the Employing Company has chosen to do so) where such circumstances arose in the period from the Date of Grant to the Vesting Date; or

That individual was involved in, or directly or indirectly responsible for a serious violation of the Philips General Business Principles or applicable law; or

 

  e.

The Employing Company or the business unit in which the relevant individual works/worked, or for which he was responsible, suffered a material failure of risk management, or

Something which occurred in the period from the Date of Grant to the Vesting Date has a sufficiently significant impact on the reputation of Philips or the group members to justify the operation of a recoupment claim.

By accepting an Award under these terms and conditions, the individual concerned agrees to fully co-operate with Philips and the Employing Company in order to give effect to this article.

Furthermore by accepting any Awards under this Plan, the individual provides an irrevocable power of attorney to Philips to transfer any Shares held by such individual in the account administered by Philips’ global plan administrator and any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this article. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

 

3.

No Participant shall have any rights or privileges of shareholders (including the right to receive dividends and to vote) with respect to Shares to be delivered pursuant to Awards until such Shares are actually delivered to such Participant in accordance with Article 5 of this Plan.

 

4.

The (value of) Awards granted to, or Shares acquired by, a Participant pursuant to such Awards under this Plan shall not be considered as compensation in determining a Participant’s benefits under any benefit plan of an Employing Company, including but not limited to, group life insurance, long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement, company pension or savings plan.

In case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

The Supervisory Board has the discretion to decide that the Awards still outstanding will – in whole or in part – be forfeited with immediate effect, without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company.

Article 4

Non-transferability

The Awards are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred (except that, in case of death of the Participant any Awards granted to such Participant at the date of his death shall pass to his heirs or legatees), pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner. The Participant may not engage in any transactions on any exchange or otherwise on the basis of any Awards, such as hedging his Awards exposure on the basis of any Awards. Any violation of the terms of this Article 4 will cause the Awards to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Participant being entitled to any compensation.

Article 5

  1.

  i.

death,

 

  ii.

legal incapacity,

 

  iii.

disablement,

 

  iv.

retirement or

 

  v.

the expiration of any temporary contract of employment.

In case the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, then Philips reserves the right to sell the Shares on behalf of the Participant and Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized to such sale or to request the administrator to collect the cost of the Participant’s Nominee Account from the Participant.

Article 7

2.

Any and all taxes, duties, levies, charges or social security contributions (“Taxes”) which arise under any applicable national, state, local or supra-national laws, rules or regulations, whether already effective on the Date of Grant of any Award or becoming effective thereafter, and any changes or modifications therein and termination thereof which may result for the Participant in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Award, the ownership of the Award and/or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan, the ownership and/or the sale of any Shares acquired under this Plan) shall be for the sole risk and account of the Participant.

Philips and any other Employing Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any salary payment or other sums due by Philips or any other Employing Company to Participant, or requiring the Participant or beneficiary of the Participant, to pay to Philips an amount necessary to settle any Taxes and any costs determined by Philips necessary to be withheld in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Award or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan).

 

4.

Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares to a Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account until Philips has received an amount, or the Participant has made such arrangements required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

Article 9

Dividend Payment on Shares

Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which dividend on any Shares delivered to a Participant pursuant to this Plan and deposited on the Nominee Account at the applicable record date, is paid to such Participant including, but not limited to, the payment of dividend by means of a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which the dividend will be reinvested in the purchase of Shares.

Philips shall have the authority to: i) interpret this Plan, ii) establish, amend, and rescind any terms and conditions of this Plan including any rules and regulations relating to this Plan and/or establish supplements to comply with or suit country specific requirements, iii) determine the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable.

Page 8 of 11


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

2.

Philips may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of such incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of Philips and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to an individual under these terms and conditions, if:

 

  a.

Equity-based incentive compensation under these terms and conditions has been granted and/or has vested on the basis of incorrect financial or other data; or

 

  b.

In assessing the extent to which the Performance Conditions and/or any other condition imposed on the award was satisfied, such assessment was based on an error, inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions and that such error, information or assumptions would have resulted or did in fact result either directly or indirectly in that Award vesting (or being capable of vesting) to a greater degree than would have been the case had that error not been made; or

 

  c.

There are circumstances which would warrant Philips or the Employing Company summarily dismissing (or requesting in court the termination of the employment of) that individual – for instance on the basis of article 677 or 685 Dutch Civil Code – (whether or not Philips or the Employing Company has chosen to do so) where such circumstances arose in the period from the Date of Grant to the Vesting Date; or

 

  d.

That individual was involved in, or directly or indirectly responsible for a serious violation of the Philips General Business Principles or applicable law; or

 

  e.

The Employing Company or the business unit in which the relevant individual works/worked, or for which he was responsible, suffered a material failure of risk management, or

 

  f.

Something which occurred in the period from the Date of Grant to the Vesting Date has a sufficiently significant impact on the reputation of Philips or the group members to justify the operation of a recoupment claim.

By accepting an Award under these terms and conditions, the individual concerned agrees to fully co-operate with Philips and the Employing Company in order to give effect to this article.

Furthermore by accepting any Awards under this Plan, the individual provides an irrevocable power of attorney to Philips to transfer any Shares held by such individual in the account administered by Philips’ global plan administrator and any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this article. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

 

3.

No Participant shall have any rights or privileges of shareholders (including the right to receive dividends and to vote) with respect to Shares to be delivered pursuant to Awards until such Shares are actually delivered to such Participant in accordance with Article 5 of this Plan.

 

4.

The (value of) Awards granted to, or Shares acquired by, a Participant pursuant to such Awards under this Plan shall not be considered as compensation in determining a Participant’s benefits under any benefit plan of an Employing Company, including but not limited to, group life insurance, long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement, company pension or savings plan.

 

Page 9 of 11


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

5.

Nothing contained in this Plan or in any Award made or agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to be retained in employment with any Employing Company, or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in this Plan or interfere with or limit in any way with the right of any Employing Company to terminate such Participant’s employment or to discharge or retire a Participant at any time.

 

6.

If a provision of this Plan is deemed illegal or invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, this Plan shall be construed as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included in this Plan.

 

7.

Article 3

Termination of Employment

 

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for any reason whatsoever prior to the applicable Delivery Date, such Participant’s Restricted Share Rights shall be forfeited effective as of the date of termination of such Participant’s employment with the Employing Company without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding and may be subject to such conditions as Philips may determine appropriate.

  (i)

death or

 

  (ii)

legal incapacity,

Page 3 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

3.

Subject to Article 3.4, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  (i)

disablement,

 

  (ii)

retirement or

 

  (iii)

the expiration of any temporary contract of employment,

such Participant shall remain entitled to any Restricted Share Rights granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such termination subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

For the purpose of this Plan, unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing to the Participant in question, a Participant’s employment shall be deemed terminated as a result of “retirement” if such Participant’s employment is terminated and such Participant satisfies at the date of such termination the eligibility requirements to receive an immediate (early) retirement benefit under an (early) retirement plan of an Employing Company under which such Participant was covered, provided that payment of such (early) retirement benefit commences immediately following such termination.

 

4.

In case – in the reasonable opinion of Philips – a Participant

 

  a.

Breaches the non-competition obligations; or;

 

  b.

Within one year from the date of termination, directly or indirectly on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicits or attempts to solicit, divert or hire away any person employed by Philips or any Employing Company or any customer of Philips or any Employing Company; or

 

  c.

Disparages the Employing Company or the Employing Company’s officers, directors or employees, in any manner likely to be harmful to any of them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that the Participant may respond fully and accurately to any questions, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

The Supervisory Board has the discretion to decide that the Restricted Share Rights still outstanding will – in whole or in part – be forfeited with immediate effect, without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company.

Article 4

Non-transferability

The Restricted Share Rights are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred (except that, in case of death of the Participant any Restricted Share Rights granted to such Participant at the date of his death shall pass to his heirs or legatees), pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner. The Participant may not engage in any transactions on any exchange or otherwise on the basis of any Restricted Share Rights, such as hedging his Restricted Share Rights exposure on the basis of any Restricted Shares Rights. Any violation of the terms of this Article 4 will cause the Restricted Share Rights to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Participant being entitled to any compensation.

Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

Article 5

Delivery and Holding of Shares

 

1.

Philips may require a Participant to maintain a personal brokerage account in connection with this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan shall obligate Philips to establish or maintain or cause to establish or maintain a Nominee Account for any Participant.

 

2.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, and further to the Participants tax election, Philips will deliver a Share pursuant to a Restricted Share Right to a Participant on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Delivery Date. In no event shall Philips have any obligation to deliver any Shares to a Participant prior to the relevant Delivery Date.

 

3.

Any Shares to be delivered pursuant to Article 5.2 will be credited to the Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account.

 

4.

Except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Philips in its sole discretion, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company, the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall withdraw all Shares credited to the Participant’s Nominee Account within:

 

  a.

one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such termination, or

 

  b.

five (5) years from the date of such termination in case of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of:

 

  i.

death,

 

  ii.

legal incapacity,

 

  iii.

disablement,

 

  iv.

retirement or

 

  v.

the expiration of any temporary contract of employment.

In case the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, then Philips reserves the right to sell the Shares on behalf of the Participant and Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized to such sale or to request the administrator to collect the cost of the Participant’s Nominee Account from the Participant.

 

5.

Each Participant shall comply with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations and the Philips’ Rules of Conduct with respect to Inside Information.

Article 6

Capital Dilution

Philips may make – but is not under any obligation to do so – equitable adjustment or substitution of the number or kind of Shares subject to the Restricted Shares Rights, as it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by Philips, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.

 

Page 5 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

Article 7

Dividend Equivalent

The Participant will have no rights to dividends in respect of Restricted Share Rights prior to the Delivery Date. However, Restricted Share Rights will be adjusted for any payment of dividend by Philips between the Date of Grant and the Delivery Date. Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which the number of Restricted Share Rights will be increased. These additional Shares will only be delivered to the extent the Restricted Share Rights vest.

Article 8

Costs and Taxes

 

1.

All costs of delivering any Shares under this Plan to a Participant’s Nominee Account and any other costs connected with the Shares shall be borne by the Participant.

 

2.

Any and all taxes, duties, levies, charges or social security contributions (“Taxes”) which arise under any applicable national, state, local or supra-national laws, rules or regulations, whether already effective on the Date of Grant of any Restricted Shares Rights or becoming effective thereafter, and any changes or modifications therein and termination thereof which may result for the Participant in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Shares Rights, the ownership of the Restricted Shares Rights and/or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan, the ownership and/or the sale of any Shares acquired under this Plan) shall be for the sole risk and account of the Participant.

 

3.

Philips and any other Employing Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any salary payment or other sums due by Philips or any other Employing Company to Participant, or requiring the Participant or beneficiary of the Participant, to pay to Philips an amount necessary to settle any Taxes and any costs determined by Philips necessary to be withheld in connection with this Plan (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Shares Rights or the delivery of any Shares under this Plan).

 

4.

Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares to a Nominee Account or a personal brokerage account until Philips has received an amount, or the Participant has made such arrangements required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

 

5.

Philips is herewith irrevocably authorized by the Participant to sell (part of) Participant’s Shares credited to a Nominee Account and to maintain such part of the proceeds of this sale as payment to Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Plan as determined by Philips.

 

Page 6 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

Article 9

Dividend Payment on Shares

Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which dividend on any Shares acquired by a Participant pursuant to this Plan and deposited on the Nominee Account at the applicable record date, is paid to such Participant including, but not limited to, the payment of dividend by means of a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which the dividend will be reinvested in the purchase of Shares.

Article 10

Change of Control

In the event of a change of control situation, Philips shall have the discretion to accelerate the vesting of Restricted Share Rights to the date of completion of the change of control, taking into account the principles of reasonableness and fairness and, unless Philips determines otherwise, the part of the Restricted Share Rights which vest will be reduced on a time pro-rated basis.

Article 11

General Provisions

 

1.

Philips shall have the authority to: i) interpret this Plan, ii) establish, amend, and rescind any terms and conditions of this Plan including any rules and regulations relating to this Plan and/or establish supplements to comply with or suit country specific requirements, iii) determine the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable. The terms and conditions of this Plan including any rules and regulations relating to this Plan, including any supplements thereto, in force from time to time are published on the website of Philips or its global plan administrator and apply to all previous and future Restricted Share Rights granted under this Plan. Philips may delegate the authority to practice administrative and operational functions with respect to the Plan to officers or employees of subsidiaries of Philips and to service providers.

 

Page 7 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

2.

Philips may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of such incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of Philips and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to an individual under these terms and conditions, if:

 

  a.

Equity-based incentive compensation under these terms and conditions has been granted and/or has vested on the basis of incorrect financial or other data; or

 

  b.

There are circumstances which would warrant Philips or the Employing Company summarily dismissing (or requesting in court the termination of the employment of) that individual – for instance on the basis of article 677 or 685 Dutch Civil Code – (whether or not Philips or the Employing Company has chosen to do so) where such circumstances arose in the period from the Date of Date of Grant to the Delivery Date; or

 

  c.

That individual was involved in, or directly or indirectly responsible for a serious violation of the Philips General Business Principles or applicable law; or

 

  d.

The Employing Company or the business unit in which the relevant individual works/worked, or for which he was responsible, suffered a material failure of risk management, or

 

  e.

Something which occurred in the period from the Date of Grant to the Delivery Date has a sufficiently significant impact on the reputation of Philips or the group members to justify the operation of a recoupment claim.

By accepting Restricted Share Rights under these terms and conditions, the individual concerned agrees to fully co-operate with Philips and the Employing Company in order to give effect to this article.

Furthermore by accepting any Restricted Share Rights under this Plan, the individual provides an irrevocable power of attorney to Philips to transfer any Shares held by such individual in the account administered by Philips’ global plan administrator and any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this article. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

 

3.

No Participant shall have any rights or privileges of shareholders (including the right to receive dividends and to vote) with respect to Shares to be delivered pursuant to Restricted Share Rights until such Shares are actually delivered to such Participant in accordance with Article 5 of this Plan.

 

4.

The (value of) Restricted Share Rights granted to, or Shares acquired by, a Participant pursuant to such Restricted Share Right under this Plan shall not be considered as compensation in determining a Participant’s benefits under any benefit plan of an Employing Company, including but not limited to, group life insurance, long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement, company pension or savings plan.

 

5.

Nothing contained in this Plan or in any grant made or agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to be retained in employment with any Employing Company, or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in this Plan or interfere with or limit in any way with the right of any Employing Company to terminate such Participant’s employment or to discharge or retire a Participant at any time.

 

Page 8 of 10


Group HRM/CoE Rewards

 

6.

If a provision of this Plan is deemed illegal or invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, this Plan shall be construed as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included in this Plan.

 

7.

Where the context requires, words in either gender shall include also the other gender.

 

8.

The English version of this Plan is leading. If there is a discrepancy between the contents of a translation and the English version of this Plan, the English version of this Plan prevails.

 

9.

This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
