Exhibit 10.2
RE/MAX HOLDINGS, INC.
2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
OPTION SUBSTITUTION AWARD
On , 2013 (the Effective Date), RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), completed an initial public offering of shares of Class A common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (Shares) (the IPO). On the date of the IPO, the individual named below (Optionee) held outstanding options to purchase Class B common units (Units) of RMCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (RMCO LLC) (the RMCO LLC Option) issued pursuant to the RMCO, LLC 2011 Unit Option Plan, as amended (the Unit Plan). In connection with the completion of the IPO, the RMCO LLC Option is being exchanged for and substituted with an option to purchase Shares (the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option) granted under the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan). This Option Substitution Award (the Award) evidences the terms of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option as previously adjusted by the adjustments provided for in Section 8 of the Unit Plan, and the cancellation of the RMCO LLC Option.
Name of Optionee:
The table below summarizes the option immediately before and after the IPO:
RMCO LLC Option | RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option | |||||||
Grant Date | No. of Units of RMCO LLC | Exercise Price | No. of Shares of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. | Exercise Price |
A. ADJUSTMENTS AND SUBSTITUTION
1. Split of Units. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Unit Plan, the number of Units covered by the unexercised portion of the RMCO LLC Option and the option exercise price per Unit has been equitably adjusted in connection with a split of Units effected without receipt of consideration by RMCO LLC.
2. Tax Law Requirements. The adjustments and substitution are intended to comply with federal tax law requirements to avoid being considered a modification of the original option for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which requires, as applicable, the following:
(a) The total spread of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option immediately after the adjustments and substitution (the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the Shares subject to the option over the aggregate option exercise price) cannot exceed the total spread of the RMCO LLC Option immediately before the adjustment and substitution;
(b) The ratio of the option exercise price to the fair market value of a Share subject to the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option immediately after the adjustments and substitution cannot be greater than the ratio of the option exercise price to the fair market value of a Unit subject to the RMCO LLC Option immediately before the adjustments and substitution;
(c) The RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option must contain all terms of the RMCO LLC Option, except to the extent such terms are rendered inoperative by the transaction;
(d) The RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option must not provide the Optionee additional benefits that the Optionee did not have under the RMCO LLC Option; and
(e) In connection with the substitution and the receipt of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option, all rights of the Optionee under the RMCO LLC Option must be cancelled.
3. Other Adjustments. The number of Units subject to the RMCO LLC Option on the Effective Date was determined by rounding the amount determined after the adjustments down to the next whole number of Units. The exercise price per Unit of the RMCO LLC Option on the Effective Date was determined by rounding the amount determined after the adjustments up to the next whole cent.
4. Substitution. In connection with the occurrence of the IPO, each outstanding RMCO LLC Option is being exchanged for a RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Option and as reflected in this Award, and, following the exchange, the RMCO LLC Option shall be cancelled.
