Vesting
|
Stock-Settled
SARs vest and become exercisable upon the earliest of:
§ One-fourth
of the Stock-Settled SARs granted on each of the first, second, third, and
fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, so long as employment by
Brunswick or its designated affiliates continues on each such anniversary
date;
§ In
the case of a termination of employment (other than for “cause” (willful
misconduct in the performance of duties) or due to death or permanent
disability (as defined below)) on or after (i) the first anniversary of
the date of grant and (ii) the date at which age plus years of service
equal 70 or more or age is 62 or more, vesting will continue on the normal
vesting schedule described immediately above;
§ In
the case of a termination of employment (other than for cause or due to
death or permanent disability) (i) prior to the first anniversary and (ii)
on or after the date at which age plus years of service equals 70 or more
or age is 62 or more, a pro-rata portion of the award will vest on each
anniversary of the date of grant pursuant to the normal vesting schedule
described above. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a
“pro-rata portion” will mean the product of (x) the number of shares
underlying the Stock-Settled SAR award that would have vested on the
applicable anniversary of the date of grant pursuant to the normal vesting
schedule and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
that have elapsed since the date of grant through the date of termination
of the recipient’s employment, and the denominator of which is
365. All remaining shares will be forfeited;
§ Termination
due to death or permanent disability; or,
§ A
Change in Control (as defined in the Plan).

in no event later than ten years from the date of grant.

Exercise
Settlement-
Payment
/ Tax
Withholding
|
On
exercise, the number of shares of Brunswick Stock delivered will be
determined as follows:
§ The
difference between the Fair Market Value on date of exercise and the per
share exercise price will be determined.
§ This
difference will be multiplied by the number of Stock-Settled SARs being
exercised to determine the total dollar gain.
§ The
total dollar gain will be divided by the Fair Market Value on date of
exercise.
Should
you elect to have the required tax withholding satisfied by delivery of
shares, then the ultimate Stock delivered will be reduced by an amount
necessary to accommodate the required tax withholding.
Tax
withholding liability (to meet required FICA, federal, state, and local
withholding) can be paid in any combination of the following:
§ Reduction
in shares delivered to accommodate the required minimum tax withholding,
or by
§ Cash
or check.
