PAYMENT OF AWARDS

To receive an award payment, participants must be employed by JohnsonDiversey up through the date incentive awards are paid with the exception of retirement (age 55 and 10 years of service), death, disability or job elimination which will be treated in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. Termination or resignation of the employee will result in no payment.

Any amount payable on account of an award earned under this Plan shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the end of the measurement period. Award payments will be reduced by any profit sharing (TPA) amount paid during the three-year performance period. Under this program, payments are made as a single lump-sum payment subject to applicable income taxes. Award payments are not considered pension or 401(k) eligible earnings.

 

    Transfer

If an employee is transferred into or out of an incentive eligible position during the Plan period, they will be eligible to receive a prorated award based upon their time worked in the eligible role.

 

    Retirement

If a participant terminates employment for the reason of retirement (age 55 plus 10 years of service) during the first three (3) months of any three-year performance period, no award will be granted for that performance period. If the retirement event occurs on or after April 1 of the current performance period, the participant will be eligible to receive a prorated award based on the number of months worked during the three-year Plan period. Payment if any will be based on actual results against target at the end of the three-year Plan period and made in accordance with the Payment of Awards provision above.

 

    Death or Disability

If a participant’s employment terminates due to death or permanent disability during the first three (3) months of the any three-year performance period, no award will be granted for that performance period. If the event occurs on or after April 1 of the current performance period, the participant or a personal representative will be eligible to receive a prorated award based on the number of months worked during the three-year Plan period. Payment, if any, will be made based on actual results at the end of the three-year Plan period and made in accordance with the Payment of Awards provision above.

 

    Job Elimination

If a participant’s employment terminates due to job elimination or due to reorganization, a prorated award may be recommended at the discretion of the GLT member for the portion of the three year performance period in which the employee was an active participant in the Plan. All award payments must be authorized and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.


MISCELLANEOUS

The Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the GLT and Global Total Rewards, has the authority and responsibility to exercise discretion in considering the effects of unusual and/or unforeseeable events during the measurement period when evaluating the extent to which awards under the Plan are earned.
