Director Share Grants
•Unless otherwise determined by the Board, each newly appointed or elected non-management director will receive an initial restricted share unit grant equal to a number of restricted share units determined by dividing $295,000 by the average closing price of Seagate ordinary shares during the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the grant date, rounded to the nearest whole share. If the appointment occurs other than in connection with the election of directors, this dollar amount shall be prorated. In addition, if the new director was, prior to commencement of Board service, an officer or member of the board of directors of an entity acquired by Seagate, the Board may decide to award a lesser number of shares. The grant date for these awards shall be the date of the director’s election or appointment. Each restricted share unit grant will vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the day prior to the next election of directors at an Annual General Meeting (AGM). All restricted share unit grants become fully vested in the event of a “Change in Control” of Seagate.
