FY 20__ MARKET SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to your Market Share Unit Award Grant Notice and Acceptance (“Grant Notice”) and this Market Share Unit Award Agreement (“Agreement”), WD-40 Company, a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) has awarded to you Performance Shares (referred to herein as Market Share Units or “MSUs”) under the WD-40 Company 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the “Target Number” of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.
The details of your MSUs are as follows:
1. Number of Shares. The number of Shares to be issued to you upon settlement of your MSUs (your “MSU Shares”) as referenced in your Grant Notice will be determined under the performance vesting provisions in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement equal to a percentage (the “Applicable Percentage”) of the Target Number of MSU Shares set forth in your Grant Notice. The Target Number of MSUs prior to performance vesting, or the resulting number of MSU Shares determined upon performance vesting, may be adjusted from time to time upon changes in capitalization of the Company pursuant to Section 18 of the Plan. |
2. No Payment of Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents are not payable with respect to your MSUs. Upon issuance of your MSU Shares at the time of vesting or otherwise as provided for herein, you will then be entitled to receive dividends as and when declared upon the Shares by the Company. |
5. Change in Control Vesting. Except as provided for herein, the provisions of Section 19 of the Plan shall apply to your MSUs in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan). In the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Measurement Year, for purposes of determining the level of performance achieved as of the date of the Change in Control, the Measurement Year shall be deemed to have ended immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control. In such event, the Measurement Share Value and the Measurement Index Value (as defined in Exhibit A) shall be determined based on the closing price for the Shares and the closing Index value as of the date of the Change in Control (not based on average amounts as provided for in Exhibit A). In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the proportionate number of the Target Number of MSUs not subject to vesting based on the level of performance achieved as of the date of the Change in Control shall be treated as equivalent Restricted Stock Units having a Period of Restriction ending on the Settlement Date, subject to Section 5 of the Change of Control Severance Agreement with the Company as applicable for Executive Officers, or subject to Section 19(a)(ii) of the Plan as applicable to other employees (e.g., Senior Management Employees and Management Employees). Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 7 and 10 of this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive your vested MSU Shares thirty (30) days following the date of the Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs after the end of the Measurement Year, but before the Committee has certified achievement of the performance measure, and you were employed by the Company on the date of the Change in Control, you will have the right, on the Settlement Date, to receive your vested MSU Shares or the dollar value equivalent thereof, at the Company’s option, determined in accordance with the vesting provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Settlement Date shall be deemed to be the date three (3) business days following the date on which the company that survives the Change in Control publicly or privately issues audited financial statements that include results of the Company’s Measurement Year, but in no event shall the Settlement Date be later than ninety (90) days following the end of the Measurement Year. |
6. Six Month Delay in Issuance of Shares on Termination of Employment for Certain Officers. If, at the time of your Retirement or other Termination of Employment (other than by reason of your death) prior to the vesting of your MSU Shares, you are a “specified employee” as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 7 and 10 of this Agreement, the MSU Shares to be issued to you as provided for in Paragraphs 4 or 5 above shall be issued and delivered to you or to your designated Beneficiary (as hereinafter defined) no earlier than six (6) months following the day after the effective date of your Termination of Employment. |
7. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, your MSU Shares may not be issued unless the MSU Shares are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Committee or the Board has
2
|
determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The issuance of your MSU Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your MSU Shares, and the issuance of your MSU Shares may be delayed if the Committee or the Board determines that such issuance would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations, provided that issuance of the MSU Shares shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable following the first date on which the Company anticipates or should reasonably anticipate that issuing the MSU Shares would not cause a violation. |
8. Transferability. Your MSUs are not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party (your “Beneficiary”) who, in the event of your death, shall then be entitled to receive the MSU Shares payable as of the date of your death, if any. |
9. Agreement Not a Service Contract or Obligation to Continue Service. This Agreement is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or Subsidiary as an employee for any period of time. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Company or a Subsidiary to continue your employment for any period of time. |
10. Withholding of MSU Shares to Cover Tax Withholding Obligations. |
11. Notices. Any notices provided for in the Plan or this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. |
12. Governing Plan Document. This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference in this Agreement. This Agreement is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Except as specifically provided for herein, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. |

EXHIBIT A
PERFORMANCE VESTING
Subject to Section 5 of the Market Share Unit Award Agreement, the MSUs shall vest with respect to the Applicable Percentage of the Target Number of MSU Shares set forth in the following applicable Executive Officer, Senior Management Employee or Management Employee table based on relative total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the Company over the Measurement Period as compared to the total return (“Return”) for the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”) as reported for total return (with dividends reinvested) by Russell Investments. For purposes of computing the relative TSR for the Company as compared to the Return for the Index, dividends paid with respect to the Shares shall be treated as having been reinvested as of the ex-dividend date for each declared dividend, as further described below. TSR for the Company shall equal the percentage change (positive or negative) of the “Measurement Share Value” (as defined below) as compared to the “Base Share Value” (as defined below). The Return for the Index shall equal the percentage change (positive or negative) of the “Measurement Index Value” (as defined below) as compared to the “Base Index Value” (as defined below). The relative TSR (“Relative TSR”) represents the absolute percentage point difference between the TSR for the Company and the Return for the Index.

The Applicable Percentage will be determined on a straight line sliding scale from the minimum 50% Applicable Percentage achievement level to the applicable maximum 200%, 150% or 125% Applicable Percentage achievement level as noted in the applicable Executive Officer, Senior Management Employee or Management Employee table above. For purposes of determining relative achievement, actual results are to be rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent and rounded upward from the midpoint, in all events in a positive direction. For example, if the Relative TSR is 4.94% (the absolute difference between the TSR for the Company and the Return for the Index over the Measurement Period being 4.94 percentage points), Relative TSR will be 4.9% and the Applicable Percentage will be 124.5%. The number of MSU Shares to be issued on the Settlement Date is to be rounded to the nearest whole share and rounded upward from the midpoint.
“Base Share Value” shall represent the average computed value of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock (as increased, if applicable, by additional shares theoretically acquired with reinvested dividends, as further described below), determined with reference to the daily closing price for the Company’s Shares over a period of all market trading days within the ninety (90) calendar days ending on the last day of the Company’s fiscal year ended immediately prior to the Date of Grant (the “Base Value Averaging Period”).
For purposes of determining the Base Share Value, the daily value of one (1) share shall be computed based on the closing price for the Company’s Shares for each market trading day until the next following ex-dividend date, if any. On the ex-dividend date, if any, and thereafter through the end of the Base Value Averaging Period, the daily value shall be based on one (1) share plus a number of shares that would theoretically be acquired on the ex-dividend date, at the closing price for the Company’s Shares on the ex-dividend date, with the dividend declared with respect to the share. In the same manner, the number of shares shall be increased for computing the daily value on a compounded basis for each successive dividend, if any, declared prior to the end of the Base Value Averaging Period. A simple average of all of the daily values so computed shall represent the Base Share Value.
“Base Index Value” shall represent the average closing value of the Index over a period of all market trading days within the Base Value Averaging Period.
“Measurement Share Value” shall represent the average computed value of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock (as increased, if applicable, by additional shares theoretically acquired with reinvested dividends over the Measurement Period, including dividends reinvested for purposes of computing the Base Share Value, as further described below), determined with reference to the daily closing price for the Company’s Shares over a period of all market trading days within ninety (90) calendar days ending on the last day of the Measurement Year (the “Measurement Value Averaging Period”).
2
For purposes of determining the Measurement Share Value, the number of shares as of the first day of the Measurement Value Averaging Period shall first be determined by adding theoretically reinvested dividend shares over the entire Measurement Period to the number of shares used in computation of the Base Share Value as of the end of the Base Value Averaging Period. Such reinvested dividend shares shall be added on a compounded basis as of each successive ex-dividend date for dividends declared with respect to the Company’s Shares in the same manner as described for computation of the Base Share Value. Beginning on the first day of the Measurement Share Averaging Period, the daily value of the shares thus accumulated through dividend reinvestment shall be computed based on the closing price for the Company’s Shares for each market trading day until the next following ex-dividend date. On successive ex-dividend dates, if any, and thereafter through the end of the Measurement Share Averaging Period, the daily value shall be based on the increased number of shares accumulated as of each such ex-dividend date. A simple average of all of the daily values so computed shall represent the Measurement Share Value.
“Measurement Index Value” shall represent the average closing value of the Index over a period of all market trading days within the Measurement Value Averaging Period.
