2019 Incentive Plan

On April 23, 2019, the shareholders of PerkinElmer, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s 2019 Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which was previously approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) on January 24, 2019. The 2019 Plan is intended to replace the Company’s 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), which is scheduled to expire by its own terms on April 28, 2019. Effective as of April 23, 2019, no additional awards will be made under the 2009 Plan. Upon the expiration of the 2009 Plan, all then-outstanding awards under the 2009 Plan will remain in effect.

Upon shareholder approval of the 2019 Plan, a total of 6,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) became available for grant under the 2019 Plan. In addition, to the extent that awards outstanding under the 2009 Plan expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right, the shares of Common Stock underlying such awards will become available for grant under the 2019 Plan (subject to an overall limit of 2,502,900 shares and further subject in the case of incentive stock options to any limitations of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any regulations thereunder).

The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash awards.

Employees, officers, and directors, as well as the Company’s consultants and advisors, are eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Plan. Under present law, however, incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, and employees of any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Code.

Except in the case of newly hired or promoted employees, the maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted to any participant under the 2019 Plan may not exceed 800,000 shares per calendar year. For newly hired or promoted employees, the maximum limit is 1,500,000 shares. Additionally, no single participant may in any calendar year receive a payment in excess of $15,000,000 pursuant to a performance award payable in cash, of which no more than $5,000,000 may be made for any cash-based annual bonus performance award and no more than $10,000,000 may be made for any multi-year cash-based long-term incentive performance award.

The 2019 Plan provides that no more than 50,000 shares may be made subject to awards granted under the 2019 Plan to any individual non-employee director in any calendar year and that the maximum amount of cash compensation paid in any calendar year to an individual non-employee director may not exceed $500,000 in the case of an incumbent director or $750,000 in the case of the chairman of the Board. Exceptions to these limitations may only be made by the Board in extraordinary circumstances provided that the non-employee director receiving any additional compensation does not participate in the decision to award such compensation.


The 2019 Plan is administered by the Board. Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, the Board may delegate authority under the 2019 Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board. The Board has authorized the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) to administer certain aspects of the 2019 Plan, including the granting of awards to executive officers.

The Board or the Committee may modify awards granted under the 2019 Plan to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the 2019 Plan to recognize differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefits or other matters.

The foregoing description of the 2019 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2019 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Forms of Award Agreements under the 2019 Incentive Plan

In connection with the adoption of the 2019 Plan, the Committee also approved new form agreements for awards to be granted under the 2019 Plan, including the following:

 

   

Forms of stock option awards for use for grants to executive officers of the Company;

 

   

Forms of restricted stock awards for use for grants to executive officers of the Company; and

 

   

Forms of restricted stock unit awards for use for grants to executive officers of the Company and for non-employee directors of the Company.

These forms are filed as Exhibits 99.2 through 99.8 hereto.

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Grant of Option:

This agreement evidences the grant by the Company, on the grant date (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the Notice of Grant that forms part of this agreement (the “Notice of Grant”), to you of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at the close of the primary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (or such other national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) on the Last Date to Exercise set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Last Date to Exercise”).

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, “you,” as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

Vesting:

This option will become exercisable (“vest”) in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant and will have a seven (7) year term. Your option may also vest upon your death or total disability or in connection with a Change in Control Event, each as described below.

Exercise:

You may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares at any time, by following the exercise procedures set up by the Company. All exercises must take place by the Last Date to Exercise, or such earlier date as is set forth below following your death, disability or your ceasing to be an employee, or a Change in Control Event. The number of shares you may purchase as of any date cannot exceed the total number of shares vested by that date, less any shares you have previously acquired by exercising this option.

Employment Requirements:

In the event of your termination of employment, retirement, death or total disability, then, subject to the terms described below under “Consequences of a Change in Control”, the following terms apply:

 

 

If your employment is terminated for reasons other than retirement (as defined below), death, or total disability, you will be able to exercise your stock options that are vested as of your last day of employment through the earlier of the option’s Last Date to Exercise or three (3) months after your last day of employment. All unvested stock options as of your last day of employment will be cancelled as of the close of business on your last day of employment.

Officer Stock Option (Single Trigger)

 

 

 

If you terminate your employment at or after age 55 and you have 10 years of service at the time of your termination (any termination subject to this bulleted paragraph, “retirement”, and which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any termination of your employment referenced in the bulleted paragraph immediately below), you will be able to exercise your stock options that are vested as of your last day of employment through the earlier of the option’s Last Date to Exercise or three (3) years after your last day of employment. All unvested stock options as of your last day of employment will be cancelled as of the close of business on your last day of employment.

 

 

If your employment is terminated due to your death or total disability as determined under the Company’s long term disability program, your unvested options become 100% vested as of your last day of employment. You, in the event of your total disability, or your estate, in the event of your death, have until the earlier of the option’s Last Date to Exercise or one (1) year after your last day of employment to exercise your options.

The option may be transferred by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order to your child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing your household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or you) control the management of assets, any other entity in which these persons (or you) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. The transferee shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to this option prior to the transfer and the transfer shall not be effective until the transferee, as a condition to transfer, has delivered to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that the transferee shall be subject to all terms and conditions applicable to this option. Except as provided herein, this option shall not be assignable or transferable by the person to whom it is granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the optionee, shall be exercisable only by the optionee.

Any reference in this agreement to your “employment” refers to your employment by the Company (as defined in the Plan).

Taxes and Withholding:

This option is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company.
