PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS
To Be Held May 15, 2014
The Annual Meeting of the share owners of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (the "Company") will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. in Plaza 2, at the O-I World Headquarters, Perrysburg, Ohio.

This Proxy Statement has been prepared in connection with the solicitation by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of proxies for the Annual Meeting and provides information concerning the persons nominated by the Board for election as directors, and other information relevant to the Annual Meeting. The Company intends to commence distribution of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about April 4, 2014.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 15, 2014
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a "Notice and Access" rule that allows companies to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials ("Notice of Internet Availability") to share owners in lieu of a paper copy of the proxy statement and related materials and the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Notice of Internet Availability provides instructions as to how share owners can access the proxy materials online, contains a listing of matters to be considered at the meeting, and sets forth instructions as to how shares can be voted. Shares must be voted either by telephone, on the Internet or by completing and returning a proxy card. Shares cannot be voted by marking, writing on and/or returning the Notice of Internet Availability. Any Notices of Internet Availability that are returned will not be counted as votes. Instructions for requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials are set forth on the Notice of Internet Availability.
The Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Stakeholder Letter are available at www.proxyvote.com. You will need your assigned control number to vote your shares. Your control number can be found on your proxy card.
You will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if you are a share owner of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2014 (the "record date"). At the close of business on the record date, 165,059,440 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), were
1
outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record to one vote on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock held by the trustee under the Company's 401(k) plans must be voted by the trustee in accordance with written instructions from participants in such plan or, as to those shares for which no instructions are received, in a uniform manner as a single block in accordance with the instructions received with respect to the majority of shares for which instructions were received from participants. No other securities are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.
Shares of Common Stock can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if the share owner is present in person or represented by proxy. If shares are owned of record in the share owner's name, the share owner may cause its shares to be voted at the Annual Meeting in one of four ways:
A share owner can choose to submit a proxy over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. The deadline for submitting a proxy over the Internet is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 14, 2014. In order to vote by Internet, the share owner should make sure it has the control number found on the proxy card, follow the voting instructions with respect to its shares and confirm that the instructions have been accurately recorded. If a proxy is submitted over the Internet, the share owner does not need to return the proxy card.
A share owner can also submit its proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number (for residents of the U.S. and Canada) listed on the proxy card. The deadline for submitting a proxy by telephone is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 14, 2014. To submit its proxy, the share owner must enter the control number listed on the proxy card and follow the recorded instructions. If a proxy is submitted by telephone, the share owner does not need to return the proxy card.
If the share owner chooses to submit its proxy by mail, the share owner is required to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed envelope or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. The deadline for Broadridge to receive and count a proxy by mail is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 14, 2014.
A share owner can choose to vote in person at the Annual Meeting by ballot. At the meeting, the share owner will need to request a ballot to vote these shares.
Further Instructions Regarding "How to Vote"
The telephonic and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number. These procedures, that the Company believes comply with Delaware law, allow share owners to appoint a proxy to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.
2
Share owners who hold their shares beneficially in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) may be able to submit their proxy by telephone or the Internet as well as by mail. The share owner should follow the instructions received from the nominee to vote these shares.
The proxy card lists each person nominated by the Board for election as a director. Proxies duly executed and received in time for the meeting will be voted in accordance with share owners' instructions. If no instructions are given, proxies will be voted (a) to elect the ten nominated directors of the Company for a term of one year to expire at the Annual Meeting in 2015; (b) to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2014; (c) to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers; (d) to approve the second amendment and restatement of the Company's 2005 Incentive Award Plan; and (e) in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other business that may properly come before the meeting.
Any proxy solicited hereby may be revoked by the person or persons giving it at any time before it has been exercised at the Annual Meeting by (a) giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing or at the 2014 Annual Meeting; (b) submitting a later dated proxy; or (c) attending the meeting in person and voting at the meeting.
Vote Required to Approve Matters
There must be a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. A quorum is the presence at the meeting of a number of shares, that are either present or represented by proxy, constituting a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or a telephonic or Internet proxy, or you are present at the meeting in person, even if you abstain from voting, your shares will be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a proposal) are included in determining the presence of a quorum.
Proposal One. Each director to be elected by the share owners of the Company shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director by the shares represented and entitled to vote therefor at a meeting of the share owners for the election of directors at which a quorum is present (an "Election Meeting"); provided, however, that if the Board determines that the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such meeting (a "Contested Election"), whether or not the election becomes an uncontested election after such determination, each of the directors to be elected at the Election Meeting shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares represented and entitled to vote at such meeting with respect to the election of such director. For purposes of electing directors, a "majority of the votes cast" means that the number of votes cast "for" a candidate for director exceeds the number of votes cast "against" that director (with "abstentions" and "broker non-votes" not counted as votes cast as either "for" or "against" such director's election). In an election other than a Contested Election, share owners will be given the choice to cast votes "for" or "against" the election of directors or to "abstain" from such vote and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote with respect to such election of directors. In a Contested Election, share owners will be given the choice to cast "for" or "withhold" votes for the election of directors and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote with respect to such election of directors. In the event an Election Meeting involves the election of directors by separate votes by class or classes or series, the determination as to whether an election constitutes a Contested Election shall be made on a class by class or series by series basis, as
3
applicable. The Board has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board.
Proposal Two. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2014. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.
Proposal Three. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required for the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.
Proposal Four. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required for the approval of the second amendment and restatement of the Company's 2005 Incentive Award Plan. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.
Management of the Company does not know of any matter that will be presented for action at the 2014 Annual Meeting other than as described in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other matter should properly be brought to a vote at the meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, all shares covered by proxies solicited hereby will be voted with respect to such matter in accordance with the proxy holders' discretion.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The Company has no fixed policy on whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. Currently, these roles are combined with Mr. Stroucken serving as both the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stroucken possesses the detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company that makes him the Board's choice to be the Chief Executive Officer and to lead the day-to-day operation of the Company. The Board also believes that Mr. Stroucken is best positioned to be Chairman of the Board and to ensure that the Board's time and attention are focused on the most critical matters and to assist the Board in its role to oversee the execution of the Company's strategic plan.
The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines") provide that an independent member of the Board serve as Lead Director. Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Lead Director:
The Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. Peter S. Hellman, was appointed Interim Lead Director effective August 2, 2013 after Mr. Corbin A. McNeill, Jr. resigned his position as Lead Director for personal reasons.
The Company's non-management directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions, both with the CEO and also without any members of management present. The purpose of these executive sessions is to promote open and candid discussion between the Board and the CEO and separately among the non-management directors of the Board. The Board believes this approach effectively complements the Company's Board leadership structure. The non-management directors met eight times in executive session in 2013 without management present. In addition, the independent directors met once in executive session in 2013. As provided by the Guidelines, the Lead Director or his designee presides at these executive sessions.
The Board recognizes that an important part of its responsibilities is to evaluate the Company's exposure to risk and to monitor the steps management has taken to assess and control risk. The Board primarily oversees risks through committees of the Board, particularly through the Risk Oversight Committee and the Audit Committee, as discussed in the descriptions of the committees below. The committees report to the Board and matters of particular importance or concern, including any significant areas of risk faced by the Company, are discussed by the entire Board. In addition, the Board meets with the Company's regional presidents on a rotating basis to review risk exposure with respect to the Company's strategic plans and objectives in order to improve long-term organizational performance.
10
The Board has the ultimate authority for overseeing the management of the Company's business. The Board also identifies and evaluates candidates for, and ultimately appoints the Company's officers, delegates responsibilities for the conduct of the Company's operations to those officers, and monitors their and the Company's performance. Certain important functions of the Board are performed by committees comprised of members of the Board, as provided below.
The vast majority of the members of the Board are "independent" in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the following directors is an independent director of the Company under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange: Gary F. Colter, Jay L. Geldmacher, Peter S. Hellman, Anastasia D. Kelly, Hari N. Nair, Hugh H. Roberts, Helge H. Wehmeier, Carol A. Williams, Dennis K. Williams and Thomas L. Young. In making this determination, the Board has determined that none of these directors has any material relationships with the Company other than their roles as directors.
The Board has established stock ownership guidelines for its members. Each member of the Board is required to own shares of the Company's Common Stock having a value equal to five times the director's annual cash retainer. New directors have four years from the date of joining the Board to attain the required stock ownership. Until the stock ownership guidelines are met, directors are required to retain 100% of the "net profit shares" acquired from grants of restricted stock or exercises of stock options. Net profit shares are those shares remaining after payment of tax obligations.
The Board currently consists of 12 members. Under the Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the maximum size of the Board is 12 members.
In 2013, the full Board met nine times. Each member of the Board attended 84% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of committees of the Board of which such director was a member. Attendance at Board and committee meetings during 2013 averaged over 96% for directors as a group.
The Company does not have a policy with regard to Board members' attendance at Annual Meetings, although members of the Board are encouraged to attend. Ten of the eleven members of the then current Board attended the 2013 Annual Meeting.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
A copy of the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com). A copy is also available in print to share owners upon request, addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999. The address of the Company's website provided above or elsewhere in the Proxy
11
Statement is not intended to function as a hyperlink, and the contents of the Company's website are neither a part of this Proxy Statement nor incorporated by reference.
The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee") is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board and recommending that the Board select the candidates for all directorships to be filled by the Board or by the share owners. The Committee is governed in this regard by its Policies and Procedures Regarding the Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for Director (the "Policies and Procedures"), copies of which are available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com) and in print, free of charge, to share owners upon request to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999.
Pursuant to the Policies and Procedures, candidates for the Board must demonstrate strong leadership in their particular field, and have broad business experience and the ability to exercise sound business judgment. In addition, candidates must possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of the share owners. Candidates must also be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively, and be committed to serve on the Board for an extended period of time.
The Committee will consider potential candidates for director who have been recommended by the Company's directors, the CEO, other members of senior management and share owners. Outside consultants may also be employed to help identify potential candidates. Pursuant to its Policies and Procedures, the Committee conducts all necessary and appropriate inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates and considers questions of independence and possible conflicts of interest. Members of the Committee discuss and evaluate possible candidates in detail, and determine which individuals to consider in more depth. Once a candidate is identified whom the Committee wants to move toward nomination, one or more members of the Committee will enter into discussions with the candidate. The procedures for the nomination of director candidates by share owners are described under the heading "2015 Annual Meeting of Share Owners."
The performance of incumbent members of the Board is evaluated annually by the Committee. Incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the Committee's criteria for Board membership and whom the Committee believes continue to make important contributions to the Board generally will be renominated by the Board at the end of their term. In that case, the Committee does not consider a vacancy to exist.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has a Global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code is available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com) and in print, free of charge, to share owners upon request, addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
Prior to 2014, each non-management director of the Company received an annual retainer of $60,000, payable quarterly. Effective January 1, 2014, the amount of the annual retainer each non-management director of the Company receives was increased to $67,500. Each non-management director also receives $2,000 for each Board meeting in which such director participates. The Chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $20,000, the Chair of the Compensation Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000, and each non-management director who serves as a chair of any other committee receives an additional annual retainer of $10,000. The Lead Director receives an annual retainer of $20,000 in addition to the annual retainer for service as chair of a committee. Each non-management director who serves as a member of a committee of the Board (including as chair) receives $2,000 for each committee meeting in which such director participates.
Prior to 2014, each non-management director also received each year on the date immediately following the date of the Annual Meeting of share owners, a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of grant equal to $85,000, rounded up or down to nearest whole share of Common Stock. Effective January 1, 2014, the fair market value of RSUs granted to each non-management director was increased to $92,500. RSUs will be 100% vested on the first anniversary of date of grant ("Normal Vesting Date"), or earlier upon a director's termination of membership by reason of the director's death, disability or retirement. In addition, upon a director's termination of membership for any reason other than death, disability, retirement or for cause, RSUs will vest pro rata on a daily basis based on number of days of service in the 12-month period from date of grant to normal vesting date. Any unvested RSUs are forfeited at termination of membership on the Board. Upon a director's termination of membership for cause all RSUs are immediately forfeited. Vested RSUs will be paid in shares of Common Stock, on a one for one basis, within 30 days after normal vesting date, or if earlier, within 30 days after termination of membership which constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Each director is reimbursed for expenses associated with meetings of the Board or its committees.
The 2014 annual retainer and RSU adjustments were the first increases in Board compensation since 2008 and position total direct compensation for the Company's directors at or near the peer group median.
In the event a new non-management director joins the Board on any date other than the date of the Annual Meeting of share owners, in addition to the RSU grant described in the previous paragraph such new non-management director would also receive on the date immediately following the first Annual Meeting of share owners during such director's tenure on the Board an additional grant of RSUs with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of such grant equal to a pro rata allocation of the dollar amount of the prior year's RSU grant based on the number of days of service in the 12-month period from the commencement of such director's service on the Board to the date of such grant, rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.
The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. provides an opportunity for non-management directors to defer payment of their directors' fees. Under the plan, a non-management director may defer receipt of all or any portion of the cash portion of the compensation described above. Deferrals may be credited into a cash account or into a Company stock unit account. Funds held in a cash
17
account accrue interest at a rate equal from time to time to the average annual yield on domestic corporate bonds of Moody's A-rated companies, plus one percent. Distributions from the plan are made in cash.
The total compensation paid to non-management directors in 2013 is reflected in the following table.

The Company reviews relationships and transactions in which the Company and its directors and executive officers, or their immediate family members, are participants. The Board has delegated initial review of such transactions to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will review and recommend to the full Board the approval or ratification of related party transactions. In conducting its review, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee takes into account the following factors, provided in writing in the Corporate Governance Guidelines: the related person's connection to the Company and interest in the transaction, the approximate dollar value of the transaction, the importance of the transaction to the Company, whether the transaction would impair the judgment of the director or executive officer to act in the best interests of the Company, and any other appropriate information.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
At investor day in February 2013, the Company unveiled its three year strategic roadmap to deliver share owner value. As the global leader in glass packaging, the Company stands to benefit from consumers' preference for glass and from long-term socio-economic trends, especially in emerging geographies that favor the use of glass packaging. The Company is focusing on:
The Company is targeting rising free cash flow ("FCF")1 (at least $400 million in 2015) and adjusted net earnings per share2 (greater than $3.50 in 2015). The following graphs show progress made toward increasing FCF and reducing outstanding debt over the past four years.
The year 2013 was instrumental in demonstrating that the Company is on track to achieve its 2015 financial targets. Major highlights for 2013 included:
20
During 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") continued to support the Company's commitment to paying for performance and creating share owner value while mitigating the Company's level of risk exposure with its compensation practices and processes by:
The Committee approves executive compensation programs that are designed to align executive pay with share owner interests and the annual and longer-term performance of the Company. The Company believes that its executive compensation program strikes the appropriate balance between using responsible, measured pay practices and providing rewards that effectively attract and retain executives while motivating them to create value for the share owners. Key elements of this pay strategy include:
21
In their 2013 "Say on Pay" vote, the Company's share owners approved its executive compensation program with a 96% approval rating. The Committee believes that the results of this vote affirmed share owner support of the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices, and therefore the Company did not make significant changes to its approach in 2013. The Committee continues to believe that, overall, the Company's compensation programs are well aligned with both share owner interests and the competitive market, and are designed to reward overall Company and individual performance. The Committee regularly reviews compensation programs to ensure such alignment continues.
At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Share Owners, the Company will again hold an annual advisory vote to approve executive compensation. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the results from this year's and future advisory votes on executive compensation.
Compensation and Governance Practices
The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to reflect appropriate governance practices aligned with the needs of the business. Below is a summary of compensation practices the Company has adopted to drive performance and to align with share owner interests, followed by a list of practices the Company does not subscribe to because the Company does not believe they would serve their share owner's long-term interests.
What the Company Does/Has
Pay for Performance: It is the Company's philosophy that a significant portion of the target compensation opportunity provided to the NEOs be "at risk"that is, linked to the Company performance and/or the price of the Company's stock. For 2013, the CEO had 87% of his target total direct compensation "at risk." In addition, the Company's mix of long-term incentive ("LTI") vehicles (50% performance share units, 25% stock options, and 25% restricted stock units) further emphasizes a strong pay-for-performance link.
Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy: The Company adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy in January 2014 to allow the Company to recoup cash and equity incentive compensation that was earned based on inaccurate financial performance resulting in a restatement of results, regardless of fault.
Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines: The Company's Stock Ownership Guidelines require executives to own Company stock valued at a multiple of base salary, ranging from 1.5 times salary for designated key leaders to 5 times salary for the CEO, within five years of the time the individual becomes subject to the guidelines. In addition, the Company has share retention guidelines that require covered employees to retain 75% of the "net profit shares" acquired from option exercises and shares that vest until the ownership guidelines are met.
Limitations on Hedging and Pledging: Under the Company's Addendum to Insider Trading Policy, the Company's directors, executive officers and other designated individuals are prohibited from hedging the ownership of Company stock, including trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments related to Company stock or debt and may not pledge of otherwise engage in transactions involving the Company's securities without approval from the Company's General Counsel.
22
Mitigation of Risk in Compensation Programs: The Company's compensation plans have provisions to mitigate undue risk, including caps on the maximum level of payouts, extended vesting provisions, varied performance measurement periods, multiple performance metrics, and processes to identify risk. The Company does not believe any of its compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Annual Risk Assessment of Compensation Programs: The Committee retains its executive compensation consultant to conduct an annual risk assessment of the Company's executive compensation practices.
Annual Review of Independence of Committee's Advisors: The Committee performs an independence analysis of its compensation consultants, outside legal counsel, and other advisors prior to selection of or receiving advice from such compensation advisors.
What the Company Does Not Do/Have:
Tax Gross-ups for Perquisites: See "Other Benefits" for details.
Excise Tax Gross-Ups upon Change in Control
Current Payment of Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Long-Term Incentives
Repricing of Underwater Stock Options
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of the compensation of the Company's NEOs, the objectives and principles underlying executive compensation programs, the Company's recent compensation decisions, and the factors considered in making those decisions. The Company's NEOs for 2013 were:
Name
|
Position | |
---|---|---|
Albert P. L. Stroucken | President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") | |
Stephen P. Bramlage, Jr. | Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | |
James W. Baehren | Senior Vice President and General Counsel | |
Erik C. M. Bouts | President, O-I Europe | |
Arnaud N. J. M. de Weert | President, O-I North America |
Assessment of Pay and Performance
To assess the alignment of pay and company performance, the Committee annually compares the Company's performance and the NEOs' pay to pay and performance at the comparator companies. Pay, calculated as actual and estimated payouts, and performance are evaluated for historical one-year and three-year periods.
For this purpose, one-year total cash compensation included base salary and annual incentive payouts for 2012. Three-year realizable pay included all base salary, annual incentive payouts, and the estimated realizable value (i.e., award level multiplied by the closing price of the Company stock on December 31, 2012) of all LTI awards made to the NEOs during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
23
Historical Company performance was evaluated on the key financial metrics that are included in the Company's SMIP and LTI programs, including: net sales, EBIT margin, FCF, earnings per share growth, and return on invested capital.
For the 2013 assessment, the Company's performance relative to the comparator companies was near the 44th percentile for 2012 and at the 19th percentile for the three-year period 2010-2012. The Committee's conclusion was that the compensation realizable by the CEO and the other NEOs was generally aligned with the performance of the Company, in both the one-year and three-year periods, as illustrated below.
In addition, total share owner return performance was evaluated to assess pay alignment with share owner outcomes. This evaluation also showed that compensation realizable by the CEO and the other NEOs was generally aligned with the performance of the Company. The performance metrics reflected in this analysis strike a balance between growth and return measures, offer an external investor perspective (i.e., total shareholder return "TSR"), and describe the Company's bottom-line business performance and capital efficiency.
In determining total compensation levels for the NEOs, the Committee reviews competitive market remuneration data. For comparisons of compensation opportunities with the market, the Committee used proxy data from a group of comparator companies and data from published surveys. Data on base pay, annual incentives and long-term incentives are viewed individually and in the aggregate when reviewing total compensation levels. Compensation packages for Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage, and Baehren are compared to market data for the United States. Compensation packages for Messrs. Bouts and de Weert are compared to market data for Switzerland. Mr. de Weert is on an expatriate assignment in the United States from Switzerland.
The group of comparator companies is selected primarily from companies in the packaging and manufacturing sectors that resemble the Company in size, business profile, global presence, asset intensity, and other relevant factors.
24
No changes were made to the comparator group in 2013.

The Committee considers data published in executive compensation surveys from companies of similar size to the Company with a focus on the durable goods manufacturing sector. All survey data have been adjusted to reflect total company or applicable business unit revenues.
In 2013, the following survey sources were used:
Total direct compensation is the combination of base pay, annual incentive and long-term incentives. The Company's compensation strategy is to position target total compensation levels at or near the 50th percentile of the market. An NEO's total direct compensation opportunity may be higher or lower than the market 50th percentile based on individual performance, experience, past leadership roles, potential, and Company performance. In making compensation decisions, the Committee considers each of these factors and the NEO's total direct compensation to ensure overall alignment with the Company's compensation philosophy and principles.
25
It is the Company's philosophy that a significant portion of the target compensation opportunity provided to the NEOs be "at risk"that is, linked to the Company performance and/or the price of the Company's stock. For 2013, the CEO had approximately 87% of his target total direct compensation "at risk" and the other NEOs had approximately 64% of their target total direct compensation "at risk."
The Committee strives to achieve alignment between executive pay and performance by establishing and adhering to a fair and performance-oriented rewards philosophy/strategy, setting appropriate performance objectives, and regularly testing the relationship between pay and performance.
The base pay program is designed to ensure the Company's ability to attract and retain key executives. The Committee reviews NEO salaries and pay positioning at least once per year, and may adjust salaries according to current market conditions, Company performance, individual performance, previous experience, future potential, and the results of benchmarking against market data.
Merit pay budgets are set annually based on external labor market trends, business performance, inflation and other pertinent factors. In 2013, the merit budget was 3.0% for the United States and 1.5% for Switzerland. For 2013, the Committee approved a base pay increase consistent with the merit budget
26
increase for Mr. Baehren, but increased Messrs. Bramlage and Bouts by 10% and 7.6% in order to reflect the market median for their positions. The Committee did not increase Messrs. Stroucken or de Weert's base salaries, as they were already market competitive.
The annual incentive is designed to promote the achievement of short-term financial results and motivate individual performance.
Measures
The Committee reviews and approves the measures for the Senior Management Incentive Plan ("SMIP") each year. For 2013, the Committee decided to continue to use net sales, EBIT margin, and FCF (Segment Cash for the regions) as it did in 2011 and 2012, as the Committee believes these measures reflect the needs of the business as well as the drivers of share owner value. FCF was assigned the highest weight when determining the payout, as, according to a survey of the investment community, growth in FCF is the Company's key driver for generating share owner value. The Committee modified the FCF measure used in 2012 for 2013 to no longer add back the additional capital spending in China that the Company made to replace capacity lost due to Chinese government requirements to return land to the government in certain urban areas. In addition, beginning in 2013, the Committee determined that FCF performance would be adjusted to exclude payments made beyond the Company's annual statutory requirements for pensions that were not included in the Company's budget, so as to not penalize participants for such incremental discretionary payments that would otherwise reduce the generated FCF.
The measures used in the 2013 SMIP are shown on the following table:
Measure
|
Weight | Definition | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Net Sales |
20% | Third party net sales as reported annually in the Company's Consolidated Results of Operations, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates | ||
EBIT Margin |
30% |
Segment operating profit divided by segment salessegment operating profit consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense and provision for income taxes and excludes charges for asbestos-related costs, restructuring, asset impairment and other items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, as well as certain retained corporate costs |
||
FCF (Adjusted for Total O-I; Segment Cash for Regions) |
|
Cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment from continuing operations, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and for payments made beyond the Company's annual statutory requirements for pensions that were not included in the Company's budget. |
27
The impact of acquisitions is excluded in calculating the results against each performance measure. The Committee believes the plan measures align with the Company's strategic objectives and share owner value creation based on discussions with its investors and supported by analyses of short- and long-term value creation. If the Company performs well on these measures, the Committee expects that share owners will have the opportunity to benefit from the value created.
Funding
The Company must exceed performance thresholds against established targets for net sales, EBIT margin, and FCF in order to fund an annual incentive pool. Each measure stands alone and may result in incentive pool funding.
Once the pool is funded, 80% of each participant's award is determined based on financial results, while the Committee can adjust the remaining 20% based on the achievement of personal objectives.
The awards for Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage, and Baehren were determined by the financial results of the Company as a whole. In order to provide an incentive for regional performance in addition to the performance of the Company as a whole, the awards for Messrs. de Weert and Bouts were based 50% on the financial results of the region and 50% on the financial results of the Company as a whole.
Performance Targets and Results
The Committee reviews and approves the financial targets set for each plan year after considering the overall Company budget (as approved by the Board of Directors), the state of the industry and other external economic factors.
For 2013, the performance targets, actual results, and payouts for the Company as a whole, the North America business unit, and the Europe business unit were as follows (dollars in millions):

Individual Target Opportunities and Payouts
Target awards for each NEO are expressed as a percentage of base pay based on the market competitiveness and considering the Company's overall median pay philosophy. Achievement of threshold financial performance would imply funding of 0% of the target opportunity, while maximum performance would yield a payout of 200% of the target. For 2013, the individual target opportunities and payouts based on the 2013 performance were as follows:

Long-term incentive compensation ("LTI") is delivered solely in the form of equity, which serves to further align NEOs' interests with share owner interests. This component of the executive compensation package rewards each NEO's current contributions to the Company and provides motivation to achieve the Company goals, drives share owner value over time and is an important retention tool.
Equity Mix
NEOs receive a combination of performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units. Beginning in 2012, the Committee elected to increase the portion of the award delivered in the form of performance share units to 50% in order to further focus executives on achieving long-term financial goals.
29
The remainder of the targeted LTI value is balanced between stock options and restricted stock units and is intended to balance incentive opportunities with share owner alignment and retention considerations. The Committee believes that delivering the award value via three forms of equity provides a balanced incentive program that also limits compensation plan risk. The allocation among the three forms of equity incentives is as follows:
Performance share units and stock options have a strong pay for performance orientation. They are a large enough portion of overall potential compensation to have a meaningful impact on the NEO's total realized compensation depending on Company performance and total share owner return. Restricted stock units are intended to foster long-term retention of the Company's NEOs, while still providing alignment of compensation with share owners. The use and overall weighting of performance share units focuses executives on fundamental long-term financial goals in addition to stock price performance. This combination of long-term incentive awards, along with the Company stock ownership guidelines (described below), promotes alignment with share owner interests.
Individual Award Opportunities
Each year, the Committee determines an overall equity award, expressed as a dollar amount, based on median market data for each NEO. Individual awards may vary based on performance, leadership, potential and other relevant factors. When making grant decisions, the Committee focuses on the dollar value of the award for each NEO, and also considers the overall dilutive impact of shares granted to the entire employee population.
The Committee's 2012 review of market practices indicated that targeted LTI awards were below market-levels, resulting in target total direct compensation at or below the market median. Based on that review, the Committee increased the 2012 LTI awards to begin bringing them closer to market levels, though still below the market median. The Committee continued this practice for 2013, and based on the market data, individual and Company performance (including relative share owner return and other
30
relevant metrics), and executive retention concerns, the Committee approved the NEOs receiving equity grants with the following fair market values, which took the target LTI awards closer to market levels:

The amount ultimately earned under this plan for stock options and restricted stock units will be a result of the performance of the Company's stock. The amount earned for performance share units will be a result of the performance of the Company's stock as well as the Company's performance against pre-established three-year financial goals.
Performance Share Units
Performance share units are meant to reward financial performance of the Company over a three-year cycle. Grants made in 2011 had a performance cycle of January 1, 2011December 31, 2013; 2012 grants have a performance cycle of January 1, 2012December 31, 2014; 2013 grants have a performance cycle of January 1, 2013December 31, 2015.
Aside from certain exceptions, performance share units do not vest until the end of the related performance period, subject to achievement of the pre-established goals. The performance criteria for each three-year performance cycle are approved by the Committee at the grant date. The performance share units granted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 measure the Company's performance over three-year periods based on the measures shown in the following table.
Measure
|
Definition | |
---|---|---|
Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") |
EBIT, times one minus the Company's tax rate, divided by the sum of total debt and total share owners' equity. For the performance share units granted in 2013, the Committee elected to "lock down" Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") for the three-year performance period (AOCI includes effects of currency and pension asset/liability changes). | |
Adjusted Net Earnings per Share ("EPS") |
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before items that are not representative of ongoing operations. For the performance share units granted in 2012 and 2013, the Committee elected to exclude the effect of non-service pension costs from the EPS calculation. |
The basic rationale for the Committee's decision to "lock down" AOCI for the ROIC calculation was to choose an LTI design that provides reward opportunities based on factors participants can control and to eliminate significant effects of factors outside their control.
31
The ROIC and EPS measures are equally weighted. The threshold, target and maximum values for the performance criteria are determined considering the Company's true cost of capital and market expectations for earnings growth. No award is earned if performance against both targets is below the threshold level relative to the targets established by the Committee for the three-year period. If performance against either or both of the targets meets or exceeds the threshold level, NEOs can earn from 0% to 200% of the award granted. The Committee reviews audited financial results prior to determining the amount of any award earned under this plan, and there is no discretion applied to individual payout amounts.
To determine the number of performance share units to grant, 50% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Common Stock price on the date of grant. For example, assuming an overall LTI award with a value of $100,000 and Common Stock price of $30.00, the number of performance share units granted would be calculated as follows:
$100,000 X 50% = $50,000 / $30.00 = 1,667 performance share units
If the performance goals are met at the end of the performance period, performance share units are paid out in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock.
For the 2011-2013 performance cycle, performance was below the minimum payout threshold for EPS but between threshold and target for ROIC. Total LTI payout was therefore 27.6%.

Since the Company's PSU's are truly performance based, the target levels established at the beginning of each performance period represent goals that are challenging to achieve and that incorporate growth over prior years; threshold performance is set at prior period's actual performance level, so no awards are paid unless performance improves. Over the past five years, PSU payouts have ranged from 0% to 75% of target, based on the performance levels achieved.
32
The five year payout history for PSUs is as follows:
Stock Options
To determine the number of stock options awarded, 25% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Black-Scholes value of the option on the date of the grant. For example, assuming an overall LTI award of $100,000, Common Stock price of $30.00, and Black-Scholes value of the option of $14.00, the number of options granted would be calculated as follows:
$100,000 X 25% = $25,000 / $14.00 = 1,786 options
Stock options granted under the LTI program vest 25% on each of the four anniversaries following the grant date. The options expire after a term of seven years.
Restricted Stock Units
To determine the number of restricted stock units awarded, 25% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Common Stock price on the date of grant. For example, assuming an overall total LTI award of $100,000 and Common Stock price of $30.00, the number of restricted stock units granted would be calculated as follows:
$100,000 X 25% = $25,000 / $30.00 = 833 restricted stock units
Restricted stock units vest 25% on each of the four anniversaries following the grant date.
2014 Special Equity Awards to Recognize 2013 Performance
After considering the Company's superior performance and key contributions of the NEOs in 2013, the Committee decided to provide the NEOs with a grant of restricted stock units, on March 7, 2014, in addition to the regular annual equity awards. In particular, the Committee considered the generation of a
33
record level of FCF ($339 million, up 17% from prior year) and significant achievement of challenging cost-cutting goals that drove share owner value creation. The number of restricted stock units granted was determined based on a value of approximately one-third of each NEO's short term incentive target. This value was selected because it provided a meaningful award to the executives without undermining the cash flow growth and cost cutting achieved. The restricted stock units vest in 50% increments over two years to provide additional retention.

The Committee has established a formal process to govern equity grants. The same process is used for all employees receiving equity grants, including the NEOs. Each December, the Committee is asked to determine the overall amount (dollar value) of equity available for awards during the upcoming year's grant cycle. In making a proposal to the Committee, the Company reviews prior year grants, current competitive market data, run rate and total potential dilution data, and each executive officer's overall compensation package in relation to the market. Once the overall amount of equity available is determined, the CEO makes individual award recommendations for each senior executive. These recommendations are presented to the Committee for review and approval. The Committee works with the executive compensation consultant to determine the grant value for the CEO using the same general criteria. The option strike price is determined on the date the awards are approved by the Committee and is set at the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of approval (or the last business day prior to the grant date if the grant date falls on a non-business day).
The Committee has adopted March 7 of each year as the approval date and the date of grant for annual equity awards. This date falls outside of the quarterly blackout periods prescribed under the Addendum to Insider Trading Policy applicable to all NEOs.
Stock Ownership and Share Retention Guidelines
The Company has stock ownership guidelines for all of the NEOs. The guidelines are as follows:
The guidelines state that the targeted level of ownership must be achieved within five (5) years of the time the individual becomes subject to the guidelines. Under these guidelines, shares owned outright, outstanding restricted stock/units, performance share awards (at target), and 401(k) holdings all count as shares owned. In addition, the Committee has share retention guidelines. These guidelines state that until the stock ownership guidelines are met, NEOs are required to retain 75% of the "net profit shares" acquired from option exercises, or vested restricted stock units or performance share units. Net profit shares are those shares remaining after payment of tax obligations and, if applicable, option exercise costs.
34
The Committee reviews ownership levels for executive officers on an annual basis. Failure to comply with the stock ownership and retention guidelines may result in delays of promotions and / or future compensation increases.
Ownership achievement against guidelines is measured at June 30 each calendar year, based on a 200-day moving average of the stock price. For 2013, all of the NEOs exceeded or were on track to meet their current ownership guidelines, noting that Messrs. De Weert and Bouts are relatively new to the organization, as shown below:

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policies
For 2013, the Company amended the Addendum to Insider Trading Policy to further tighten controls by prohibiting the Company's directors, executive officers and other covered personnel from hedging their ownership of Company stock, including trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments related to Company stock or debt or from pledging the Company's securities without first obtaining approval from the Company's General Counsel.
Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy
In January 2014, the Company adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy to allow the Company to recoup cash and equity incentive compensation that was granted, received, vested or accrued during the prior three year period and based on inaccurate financial performance resulting in a restatement of results, regardless of fault. This policy applies to any current or former officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who reports or reported to the CEO.
In 2013, the Committee engaged Mercer (US) Inc. ("Mercer") to conduct a risk assessment of the Company's executive compensation practices and the relationship between its executive compensation program design and organizational risk. This risk assessment concluded that the Company employed no executive compensation practices in relation to organizational risk that would cause significant share owner concern. In light of this study, the Company also conducted an enterprise risk assessment of its compensation programs and policies from legal, human resources, auditing and risk management perspectives and reviewed and discussed this assessment with the Committee. Based on both of these assessments, the Company concluded that its compensation programs and practices are not reasonably likely to have a future material adverse effect on the Company.

In reaching this conclusion, the Company took into account that several items mitigate the Company's level of risk exposure, such as:
Tax Deductibility under 162(m)
Under U.S. Federal income tax law, the Company cannot take a tax deduction for certain compensation paid in excess of $1,000,000 to certain NEOs based in the U.S. However, performance-based compensation, as defined in the tax law, is fully deductible if the programs are approved by share owners and meet other requirements. The Company intends to qualify its incentive compensation programs for full corporate deductibility, to the extent feasible and consistent with its overall compensation goals. The Company believes its annual incentives, as well as stock options and performance share unit awards under its equity plan, will qualify for full deductibility as performance-based compensation. However, the Company may make payments that are not fully deductible if, in its judgment, such payments are necessary to achieve the Company's compensation objectives and to protect share owner interests.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with the CEO with an effective date of December 4, 2006, the terms of which were disclosed on Form 8-K/A dated November 28, 2006. This agreement was amended and restated with an effective date of January 1, 2012, the terms of which were disclosed on Form 8-K dated October 26, 2011. The Company has entered into severance agreements with certain officers, including the other NEOs listed in the Summary Compensation Table. These agreements entitle the participants to receive their base salaries and to participate in designated benefit plans of the Company in the event of a not-for-cause termination of the participant. The agreements provide for
36
termination of employment at any time, with or without cause, and further provide that the benefit plans designated therein and each employee's rights to receive salary and bonuses pursuant thereto are subject to modification by the Company in its sole discretion.
Health and Welfare and Retirement Benefits
The Company maintains a comprehensive health and welfare benefits plan for all its U.S.-based employees. The benefits offered to U.S. executive officers under this plan are essentially the same as those offered to all U.S.-based salaried employees of the Company.
The Company also maintains life insurance benefits for its NEOs who were officers prior to 2006. Six months and one day after retirement, the paid-up policy is distributed to the NEO. The retiring NEO also receives a tax reimbursement for the value of the policy. In 2006, the Company closed this plan to new entrants. NEOs hired in the U.S. after December 31, 2005 are covered by a term life policy. The term life policy may be converted, at the participant's expense, to an individual policy upon termination or retirement, subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance company.
The Owens-Illinois Salary Retirement Plan (a defined benefit pension plan), was closed to new entrants after December 31, 2004. Also effective December 31, 2004, the Company changed the way that benefits can be paid. Benefits accrued at December 31, 2004 are eligible to be paid in a lump sum upon retirement at the option of the participant. Benefits accrued post-December 31, 2004, however, are eligible to be paid only on an annuity basis. As a qualified plan, benefits are limited by IRS regulations. For those U.S. employees who earn compensation in excess of IRS limits, the Company maintains an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan ("SRBP"). This plan allows for benefits in excess of the IRS limits to be accrued and paid to participants upon retirement. As a non-qualified plan, all payments are made in a lump sum out of the general assets of the Company. Mr. Stroucken accrues a benefit under this plan pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
The Stock Purchase and Savings Program ("SPASP") is a defined contribution plan, provided under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the plan are subject to annual limits established by the IRS. While employees may direct their own contributions into a number of provided investments, the Company match is made in Common Stock. The match is immediately vested, and participants can move the match out of Common Stock, and into any of the other investments, at any time, subject to blackout periods and other trading window restrictions. For participants hired after December 31, 2004 who are not eligible to participate in the Owens-Illinois Salary Retirement Plan, the Company also makes a base contribution to the SPASP each payroll period, which is invested in the same investment options selected by the participants for their own contributions.
For those U.S. employees who are limited in the amount that they may defer to the qualified SPASP due to the IRS limits and who meet certain base pay requirements, the Company maintains an unfunded Executive Deferred Savings Plan ("EDSP"). This plan allows for deferrals on a pre-tax basis. The investment funds available are the same as those in the SPASP, with the exception of grandfathered deferrals into the cash account (for Mr. Baehren).
The Company provides limited perquisites to the NEOs that the Committee has determined to be competitive with the practices of the comparator group companies. These perquisites include an automobile allowance (for Messrs. Stroucken and Baehren only), leased vehicle (for Mr. Bouts only),
37
executive physicals, financial planning and tax preparation, and restricted personal use of the Company aircraft. Under Board policy, for security reasons, the Company's chief executive officer generally uses the Company aircraft for both business and personal travel. Per the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Stroucken's personal use of the Company aircraft is limited to 50 hours per year, and he has agreed to reimburse the Company for any personal use of the Company's aircraft in excess of the 50 hours per year limit. Personal use of the Company aircraft by any other NEO requires the approval of the CEO.
The following tables show the benefits and perquisites provided to each NEO:

Due to existing contractual arrangements, gross-ups on payments made for executive life insurance and secular trust benefits have been continued only for those participants already covered by such benefits. Mr. Baehren is eligible for gross-ups on the annual economic value of an executive life insurance benefit and for gross-ups on payments made into his secular trust arrangement. These benefits are not available to new entrants. The Committee had previously reviewed the existing arrangements and determined that it was not in the share owners' best interest to incur the costs to eliminate these contractually based benefits for those who were eligible.
The Company previously eliminated all tax gross-ups on personal use of Company aircraft, financial planning and tax preparation.
There are many inputs to the executive compensation process, as well as the appropriate governance and compliance mechanisms. In general, the Committee has primary responsibility for discharging the Board's responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company's executive officers. See description of the Committee above under the heading "Board Committees."
Executive Compensation Consultant
To assist the Committee in carrying out its duties and responsibilities, the Committee engages the services of an executive compensation consultant. For 2013 the Committee engaged Mercer as its executive compensation consultant. Mercer provides the Committee with competitive market compensation data for senior executives and information on current issues and trends on executive compensation program design and governance; advises the Committee on the overall design and implementation of the Company's executive compensation programs including various analyses related to incentive plan structure and award levels; assists with proxy disclosure requirements; and provides ongoing advice to the Committee on regulatory and other technical developments that may affect the Company's executive compensation programs.
39
During 2013 specifically, Mercer supported the Committee by: (i) providing competitive market data on compensation for executives; (ii) conducting the study on historical pay and performance versus the Company's comparator group; (iii) providing advice with respect to executive compensation matters, including annual and long-term incentive programs, share utilization and pay mix; (iv) risk assessment of the Company's compensation practices, as discussed previously; and (v) advising the Committee about regulatory and legislative updates. The fees paid to Mercer for providing such consulting services to the Committee in 2013 were $286,556.
In its capacity as the executive compensation consultant to the Committee, Mercer reports directly to the Committee and the Committee retains sole authority to retain and terminate the consulting relationship. In carrying out its responsibilities, the executive compensation consultant will typically collaborate with management to obtain data, provide background on program history and operation, and clarify pertinent information. Working under the Committee's direction, both the Committee and management will review and discuss key issues and alternatives during the development of recommendations, and prior to presentation for final approval.
With the full knowledge of the Committee, the Company has engaged Mercer to provide other consulting services to the Company from time to time. Accordingly, the Committee and Mercer have agreed upon certain specific protocols, including reporting relationships, sharing of information and recommendations with management, and the role and responsibilities of the lead executive compensation consultant, to avoid the potential for conflicts of interest. Management does not use Mercer for executive compensation advice. The Committee annually receives information relating to all services that Mercer provides to the Company and fees that Mercer receives for such services. The aggregate fees for Mercer's consulting services to the Company (other than those for executive compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee) for 2013 were $489,319. The aggregate fees for services provided by MMCo (Mercer's parent company) affiliate, Marsh, for 2013 were $471,952.
The Committee also reviewed the nature of and extent of the relationship between the Committee, the Company and Mercer and the individuals at Mercer providing advice to the Committee and the Company with respect to any potential conflicts of interest. The Committee considered the following six factors in its evaluation:
Based on that review, the Committee believes that there are no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest that would unduly influence Mercer's provision to the Committee of candid, direct and objective advice that is independent of management, and that the advice received by the Committee is not influenced by any other economic relationship that Mercer, or any of the individuals at Mercer responsible
40
for providing compensation advice to the Committee, has with the Company. To ensure ongoing independence and objectivity of advice, the executive compensation consultant:
The Company's CEO attends Committee meetings and is responsible for providing relevant input on the compensation elements of the executive officers, including individual performance input, and making specific recommendations on base salaries, annual and long-term incentives, and promotions.
The CEO is also responsible for discussing the key business drivers behind the executive compensation results, including the establishment of the plan metrics, and periodically discussing the results achieved against those metrics. The CEO is excluded from executive sessions and from discussions involving his compensation.
Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer
The senior vice president and chief administrative officer ("SVP CAO") is responsible for coordinating Committee activities including: proposing meeting agendas based on the Committee's planning calendar and decision-making responsibility; arranging for meetings outside of the normal meeting cycle as appropriate; assisting with the coordination of the work done by the Committee's executive compensation consultant; and preparing appropriate materials for review by the Committee. The SVP CAO follows up on meeting action items and other assignments from the Committee and is available for consultation with the Committee as needed.
In this role, the SVP CAO normally consults with the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel and the corporate secretary. Each may be asked to prepare information for Committee review, attend Committee meetings as appropriate, and provide relevant background information for inclusion in Committee materials.
The Company's chief financial officer prepares and provides all financial results to the Committee as necessary to determine achievement against goals in the various incentive compensation plans. At the Committee's request, the chief financial officer provides commentary, discusses overall results providing appropriate information relative to achievement (or under or over achievement as may be the case), and
41
plays an active role in development of the goals presented for approval in incentive compensation plan design.
The general counsel participates in Committee meetings and is responsible for providing relevant legal advice to the Committee on its executive compensation plans, and ensuring compliance with all appropriate regulations, including SEC and IRS regulations, that impact executive compensation.
The corporate secretary also participates in Committee meetings, taking appropriate minutes to preserve a record of discussion and actions.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
The following tables show the amount of compensation that may be paid to each named executive officer upon voluntary termination, early retirement, normal retirement, involuntary termination not for cause, change in control, for cause termination, disability, or death. The amounts shown assume a termination date effective December 31, 2013, the last business day of the year. For payments made pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, or performance shares, the amount earned by each named executive officer upon retirement differs whether they are eligible for early or normal retirement. As a result, the table reflects only that amount they were eligible for at December 31, 2013.
Unless specifically noted, each of the payments described below are the same for any salaried employee of the Company.
Payments Made Upon Termination
Payments made upon termination for any reason include:
In addition to the above, payments made upon retirement include:
Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination Not For Cause or Change in Control
In addition to that noted under Payments Made Upon Termination, each named executive officer is eligible for the following:

Payments Made Upon Death or Disability

salary and (2) a pension equal to 26% of the pensionable salary until CHF 126,000 plus 40% of the pensionable salary above CHF 126,000 payable on the life of the eligible spouse.
The following tables represent potential payments to the NEOs under the various termination scenarios. The values assume termination on December 31, 2013.

No pre-retirement mortality is assumed. After retirement, for the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as an annuity, mortality is RP 2000 projected to 2020 for 2012, and RP 2000 projected to 2021 for 2013. For the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as a lump sum, the applicable IRS lump-sum mortality table is used.
SRBP benefits are assumed to be taken as a lump sum. The interest rate used for lump sums is 4.78%.
As Mr. Stroucken did not have ten years of service as of December 31, 2013, he would only have been eligible for payments of equity awards under involuntary termination not-for-cause, change in control termination, and disability and death scenarios.
Normal retirement benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant retires on December 31, 2013 and commences payment as soon as possible. Since Mr. Stroucken is currently eligible to retire, this value represents commencement at December 31, 2013.
Disability benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant becomes disabled on December 31, 2013. Pension benefits reflect accrued benefits payable at age 65.
Death benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant became deceased on December 31, 2013. Pension benefits reflect an immediate lump sum payable to the spouse equal to the greater of the
53
lump-sum value of the participant's immediate retirement benefit, or the lump sum value of 25% of the participant's earnings. Health and welfare benefits represent retiree medical benefits for the spouse if the participant became deceased on December 31, 2013.

No pre-retirement mortality is assumed. After retirement, for the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as an annuity, mortality is RP 2000 projected to 2020 for 2012, and RP 2000 projected to 2021 for 2013. For the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as a lump sum, the applicable IRS lump sum mortality table is used.
Salaried benefits accrued prior to 2005 and all SRBP benefits are assumed to be taken as a lump sum. Salaried Plan benefits accrued after 2004 are assumed to be taken as an annuity. The interest rate used for lump sums and annuities in the Salary Plan is 4.82% and the interest rate used for lump sums in the SRBP is 4.78%.
Because Mr. Baehren was retirement-eligible as of December 31, 2013, he would have also been eligible for payments of equity awards under each of the termination scenarios.
Termination benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant terminates on December 31, 2013 and commences payment at normal retirement date. There are no provisions in the pension plans that are contingent on the type of termination. Since retiree health and welfare benefits must be elected immediately or forfeited, no retiree health and welfare benefits are shown.
Early retirement benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant retires on December 31, 2013 and commences payment as soon as possible. Since Mr. Baehren is currently eligible to retire, this value represents commencement at December 31, 2013. The health and welfare benefits represent the value of the postretirement medical and executive retiree life insurance benefits as if the participant retires as of December 31, 2013 and immediately elects coverage.
Disability benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant becomes disabled on December 31, 2013. Pension benefits reflect accrued benefits payable at age 65. Health and welfare benefits represent retiree medical and life insurance benefits commencing at age 65.
Death benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant became deceased on December 31, 2013. Pension benefits reflect an immediate lump sum payable to the spouse equal to the greater of the lump-sum value of the participant's immediate retirement benefit, or the lump sum value of 25% of the participant's earnings. Health and welfare benefits represent retiree medical benefits for the spouse if the participant became deceased December 31, 2013.

No pre-retirement mortality is assumed. After retirement, mortality is BVG 2010 Generational (using 2014 rates).
Because Mr. Bouts was not retirement-eligible as of December 31, 2013, he would only have been eligible for payments of equity awards under involuntary termination not-for-cause, change in control, and disability and death scenarios.
Disability benefits represent the value of benefits under the pension plan equal to 40% of Mr. Bouts' pensionable salary until CHF 126,000 plus 65% of the pensionable salary above CHF 126,000 payable as a pension until 65.
Death benefits represents the value the legal heirs would be entitled to, which include (1) a lump sum payment equal to at least 200% of the annual pensionable salary and (2) a pension equal to 26% of the pensionable salary until CHF 126,000 plus 40% of the pensionable salary above CHF 126,000 payable on the life of the eligible spouse.

As part of its ongoing activities, which are described under the heading "Proposal 1: Election of DirectorsBoard CommitteesAudit Committee," the Audit Committee has:
On the basis of the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, the Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2014.
The Audit Committee also concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm's provision of non-audit services, as described in the following section, to the Company and its affiliates is compatible with the independent registered public accounting firm's independence.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
In accordance with the SEC's auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving all non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP. Those procedures are set forth below under the heading "Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services."
Fees Paid to Ernst & Young LLP
The aggregate fees for professional services provided by Ernst & Young LLP to the Company in 2013 and 2012 for these various services were:

In the above table: (a) "audit fees" were for the audit and quarterly reviews of the consolidated accounts, attestation report on internal control required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, statutory audits of international subsidiaries, audits of subsidiaries whose securities are pledged as collateral and services related to SEC filings and non-SEC offerings; (b) "audit-related fees" were for audits of employee benefit plans, agreed-upon procedures for third parties, and other accounting consultations; (c) "tax fees" were for tax return preparation, federal, state and local tax planning, and international tax planning and advice; and (d) "all other fees" were for services related to the Company's relocation of its shared services. All fees for professional services by Ernst & Young LLP were approved in advance under the Board's pre-approval policy.
Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services
No services will be provided to the Company that are specifically prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Permitted services will be pre-approved by the Audit Committee as follows:
The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that they do not impair the firm's independence from the Company. Unless a type of service has received pre-approval, it will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will also require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
This Policy describes the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax, and All Other services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee. For non-audit services, Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval a list of non-audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. The term of any pre-approval is for 12 months, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit
59
Committee will from time to time review and, if necessary, revise the list of pre-approved services based on subsequent determinations.
The Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management.
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to separate pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent registered public accounting firm reasonably can provide. Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of Audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All other Audit services not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Company's financial statements and that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-Related services does not impair the independence of the firm and is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.
Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of Audit-Related services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All other Audit-Related services not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee believes that the independent registered public accounting firm can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the firm's independence.
Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of Tax services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
60
The Audit Committee will separately pre-approve those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other Services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the firm.
A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is set forth below. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts
Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm will be established periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the chief financial officer or his designee and must include a statement as to whether the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The Committee will be informed routinely as to the non-audit services actually provided by the independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to this policy.
With respect to each proposed pre-approval service, the independent registered public accounting firm will provide to the Audit Committee, as requested, detailed back-up documentation regarding the specific services to be provided.
61
PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
Although the Board is not required to submit the Audit Committee's selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for share owner approval, the Board has elected to seek ratification by the share owners of the Audit Committee's selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2014. In the event the Company's share owners do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider its use of Ernst & Young LLP.
A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires, and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from share owners.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2014.
62
PROPOSAL 3:
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
The Company is asking its share owners to provide advisory approval of the compensation of its named executive officers, as described above under the heading "Executive Compensation." While this vote is advisory, and not binding on the Company, it will provide information to the Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of 2014 and beyond.
The Compensation Committee approves executive compensation programs that are designed to align executive pay with share owners' interests, as well as with the annual and longer-term performance of the Company. This alignment is evidenced by the executive officers receiving a2013 annual incentive plan payout above target level largely based on the generation of free cash flow, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, that exceeded our 2013 maximum performance target, as well as a reduced payout under the 2011-2013 long-term incentive plan as a result of Company performance against the relevant targets.
The Company believes that its executive compensation program strikes the appropriate balance between using responsible, measured pay practices and providing rewards that effectively attract and retain executives while motivating them to create value for the share owners. The rigor in the Company's management processes, as well as balance in rewards programs, are evidenced by the following:
63
The Board strongly endorses the Company's executive compensation program and recommends that the share owners vote in favor of the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.
Because the vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee and neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee will be required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. However, the Compensation Committee will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
64
PROPOSAL 4:
APPROVAL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
OF THE COMPANY'S 2005 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
In 2009, the Company adopted and share owners approved the Amended and Restated Owens-Illinois 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the "2009 Plan") in order to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interest of participants to those of Company share owners and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Board of Directors has approved a second amendment and restatement of the 2009 Plan (which is referred to as the "Restated Plan"), subject to share owner approval which:
In addition, certain other immaterial administrative changes have been included in the Restated Plan. Share owner approval is required in order to increase the number of shares under the terms of the 2009 Plan.
In addition, the Company is seeking share owner approval of the material terms of performance goals under the Restated Plan. Share owner approval of such terms would preserve the Company's ability to deduct compensation associated with future performance-based awards made under the Restated Plan to certain executives. IRC Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") limits the deductions a publicly-held company can claim for compensation in excess of $1 million paid in a given year to its chief executive officer, and its three other most highly-compensated executive officers (other than its chief financial officer) (these officers are generally referred to as the "covered employees"). "Performance-based" compensation that meets certain requirements is not counted against the $1 million deductibility cap. Stock options and stock appreciation rights generally will qualify as performance-based compensation, provided. Other awards that we may grant under the Restated Plan may qualify as performance-based compensation if the payment, retention or vesting of the award is subject to the achievement during a performance period of performance goals selected by the Compensation Committee. Performance-based awards which the Company currently uses under the 2009 Plan are intended to qualify as performance based compensation exempt from Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee retains the discretion to set the level of performance for a given performance measure under a performance-based award. The material terms of the performance goals under 2009 Plan were last approved in 2009. In order for awards to qualify as performance-based compensation, the share owners must approve the material terms of the performance goals every five years. Accordingly, the Company is seeking share owner approval at this time. For a discussion of the performance criteria for which approval is being sought, please see the discussion under "Performance Based Awards" below. The Company currently grants under the 2009 Plan its annual cash based awards, as well as performance share units (both discussed under the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy) with the intent that such awards will qualify as performance based compensation exempt from the Section 162(m) limits.
65
The Company adopted the Restated Plan because as of March 20, 2014 only 2,966,890 shares remained available for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Therefore, unless the Restated Plan is approved the Company will not be able to continue making equity compensation grants to our employees and consultants. Equity compensation is a key component of the Company's compensation program (see discussion regarding long term incentives under the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy). While the Company could increase cash compensation if unable to grant equity incentives, it anticipates that it will have difficulty attracting, retaining and motivating employees and consultants if unable to make equity grants. Equity-based grants are a more effective compensation vehicle than strictly cash, because they better align the financial interests of employees and share owners, and encourage actions that maximize long-term share owner value.
The Company believes that the Restated Plan is in the best interests of share owners. It has previously managed long-term share owners dilution by limiting the number of equity awards granted. The Compensation Committee carefully monitors total dilution and equity expense. Aggregate grants of equity awards, which included shares of restricted stock units, stock options and performance share units, constituted 0.54%, 0.66% and 0.58% of our outstanding shares in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
If the Restated Plan is not approved, its provisions will not become effective. In that case, the 2009 Plan as in existence prior to its amendment and restatement will continue in effect, but the Company will not be able to make any further awards under the 2009 Plan that will qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m).
Description of Proposed Restated Plan
The following summary of the terms of the Restated Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Restated Plan and the various award agreements used thereunder. The proposed Restated Plan is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement.
The Restated Plan provides for the grant of stock options, both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and cash performance bonus awards to eligible individuals (collectively "Awards").
The Restated Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board the authority to grant or amend awards to participants other than those who are (i) "covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m); (ii) senior executives subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (iii) officers to whom such authority has been delegated. The Compensation Committee will include at least two directors, each of whom qualifies as a non-employee director pursuant to Rule 16b of the Exchange Act, an "outside director" pursuant to Section 162(m) and an "independent director" pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Compensation Committee will have the exclusive authority to administer the Restated Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction, provided that the Compensation Committee will not have the authority to accelerate vesting or waive the forfeiture provisions applicable to any performance-based awards.
66
Persons eligible to participate in the Restated Plan include employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Directors are not eligible for Awards under the Restated Plan.
Limitation on Awards and Shares Available
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2009 Plan is currently 16,000,000; provided that such aggregate number of shares is reduced by 1.75 shares for each share of Common Stock delivered in settlement of a "full value award" (i.e., any award other than an option, SAR or other award for which a participant pays the intrinsic value). That number may be adjusted for changes in the Company's capitalization and certain corporate transactions, as described below under the heading "Changes in Corporate Structure and Change in Control". The Restated Plan would increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 by 6,000,000, for a total of 22,000,000 shares, which will be reduced by 1.75 shares for each share of Common Stock delivered in settlement of a full value award.
If any shares of Common Stock that are not subject to a full value award are forfeited, expire, or settled for cash, the shares subject to such award will, to the extent of the forfeiture, expiration or settlement, be available for future grants under the Restated Plan. However, if any such shares are subject to full value awards, the aggregate number of shares available for grant under the Restated Plan will increase by 1.75, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or settlement. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Restated Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Restated Plan. Shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation, shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR upon its exercise and shares purchased on the open market with cash proceeds from an option exercise will not be added back to the total number of shares available for grants under the Restated Plan.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to incentive stock options is 6,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to a participant pursuant to the Restated Plan during any calendar year is 700,000 shares and the maximum dollar value of any Award intended to be exempt from Section 162(m) as performance based which is payable in cash may not exceed $5,000,000. As of March 20, 2014, the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE was $32.47 per share.
The Restated Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, SARs, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance-based awards. No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of awards that will be granted to specific individuals pursuant to the Restated Plan. See the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2013, for information on prior awards to named executive officers.
67
Options. Stock options, including incentive stock options, as defined under Section 422 of the Code, and nonqualified stock options may be granted pursuant to the Restated Plan. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the Restated Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Stock options may be exercised as determined by the Compensation Committee, but in no event more than ten years after their date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which options intended to be incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as the Code provides.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted pursuant to the Restated Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of Common Stock at a price determined by the Compensation Committee (which may be zero), that is nontransferable and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or service or achieving performance goals. During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Compensation Committee. With respect to restricted stock with performance based vesting, dividends that otherwise would be paid on such shares prior to vesting are held by the Company and will only be paid to the participants to the extent that the performance based vesting conditions are met.
Stock Appreciation Rights/SARs. Stock appreciation rights or SARs may be granted pursuant to the Restated Plan, either alone or in tandem with other awards. A SAR is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR. SARs may be paid in cash or stock. SARs may be exercised as determined by the Committee, but in no event more than 10 years after their date of grant.
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a specified date in the future, subject to forfeiture of such right. If the restricted stock unit has not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the restricted stock unit award we shall deliver to the holder of the restricted stock unit unrestricted shares of Common Stock which will be freely transferable. The Compensation Committee will specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the grantee for the Common Stock.
Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the value of the dividends per share of Common Stock paid by the Company, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by an Award (other than a dividend equivalent award, option or SAR) held by the participant. Dividend Equivalents will not be granted on options or stock appreciation rights. In addition, no dividend equivalent will be paid unless and until the Award on which the dividend equivalent is granted vests, including any performance vesting conditions.
Performance Share Awards. Performance share awards are denominated in shares of Common Stock and are linked to satisfaction of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee. If the Compensation Committee determines that the Award is intended to meet the requirements of "qualified performance based compensation" and therefore be deductible under Section 162(m), then the performance criteria on which the Award will be based shall be with reference to any one or more of the performance criteria specified under "Performance Based Awards" below.
68
Performance Share Units. Performance share units are denominated in units of value, including dollar value of shares of Common Stock, and are linked to satisfaction of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee on a specified date or dates over any period or periods. If the Compensation Committee determines that the Award is intended to meet the requirements of "qualified performance based compensation" and therefore be deductible under Section 162(m), then the performance criteria on which the Award will be based shall be with reference to any one or more of the performance criteria specified under "Performance Based Awards" below.
Stock Payments. Payments to participants of bonuses or other compensation may be made under the Restated Plan in the form of Common Stock. The number of shares will be determined by the Compensation Committee, and may be based upon performance criteria.
Performance Bonus Award. Performance bonus awards are payable in cash and are linked to satisfaction of performance criteria; provided, that no Performance bonus award which is intended to be exempt from the limits of Section 162(m) may be payable in excess of $5,000,000 for any calendar year.
Other Stock Awards. The Restated Plan allows for various other awards which are based on the Common Stock, with such terms generally as the Compensation Committee may determine in its discretion.
Upon the exercise of a stock option or with respect to other Awards which the Compensation Committee requires a purchase price, the purchase price must be paid in full, including the payment of any tax withholding, by any of the following methods (i) cash; (ii) tendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock with a fair market value at the time of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the exercised portion of the option or the amount of taxes to be withheld (provided such shares have been held for such period of time as may be required by the Compensation Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences); (iii) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale; or (iv) other property acceptable to the Compensation Committee. However, no participant will be permitted to pay for an Award under the Restated Plan with a loan or other extension of credit from the Company.
The Restated Plan has been designed to permit the Compensation Committee to grant equity and cash awards that will qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee may grant "performance-based compensation" awards to employees whose compensation for a given fiscal year may be subject to the limit on deductible compensation imposed by Section 162(m) ("Covered Employees"), to preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes (see additional discussion of deductibility requirements under "Federal Income Tax Consequences" below). "Performance-based compensation" awards vest or become exercisable upon the attainment of specific performance targets that are pre-established by the Compensation Committee and are related to one or more of the performance goals (described below) set forth in the Restated Plan. Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a "performance-based compensation" award for any
69
given performance period to the extent that such pre-established performance goals for the period are satisfied.
The pre-established performance goals must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria:
70
The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions or units or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Compensation Committee shall determine.
The Compensation Committee may provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments will be made to one or more of the performance goals established for any performance period. Such adjustments may include one or more of the following:
In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Compensation Committee may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the Award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed by or provide services to the Company on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for any period.
71
The Restated Plan allows the Compensation Committee to subject Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit received by a participant) granted under the Restated Plan to the provisions of any claw-back policy the Company may implement.
Changes in Capital Structure and Change in Control
In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, distribution of assets or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock or the share price of the Common Stock in a manner that causes dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits under the Restated Plan, the Compensation Committee shall make proportionate and equitable adjustments, in its discretion, to: (i) the aggregate number and types of shares of stock that may be issued under the Restated Plan; (ii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards (including any applicable performance targets); and/or (iii) the grant or exercise price for any outstanding Awards.
In addition, in such a case or in the event of any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable laws, the Compensation Committee, may, in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Restated Plan, take any of the following actions if it determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Restated Plan or with respect to any Award: (i) provide for either the payment and termination of the Award or the replacement of the Award; (ii) provide that the Awards shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iii) make adjustments in the number and type of shares of stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards which may be granted in the future; (iv) provide for the acceleration of vesting or exercisability of the Awards; and/or (v) provide that the awards cannot vest or be exercised after the event that triggers the action.
In the event of a "change in control" (as defined in the Restated Plan), the Compensation Committee, may, in its discretion and subject to applicable law, with respect to any or all outstanding Awards: (i) cause such Awards to vest and become exercisable; (ii) cause forfeiture conditions applicable to such Awards to lapse; (iii) permit the exercise of such Awards during a specified period of time; and/or (iv) cause such Awards to terminate at a specified time. Awards that remain outstanding following a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation shall, after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation.
The Compensation Committee, subject to approval of the Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the Restated Plan at any time; provided, however, that share owner approval will be obtained for any amendment:
72
In no event may an award be granted pursuant to the Restated Plan on or after May 15, 2024, the tenth anniversary of the date share owners approve the Restated Plan.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
With respect to nonqualified stock options, the Company is generally entitled to deduct and the optionee recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. A participant receiving incentive stock options will not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock received over the option price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as one which does not meet the requirements of the IRC for incentive stock options and the tax consequences described for nonqualified stock options will apply.
The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Restated Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. Compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Section 162(m) with respect to covered employees.
Certain Awards under the Plan, depending in part on particular Award terms and conditions, may be considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to the requirements of IRC Section 409A. If the terms of such Awards do not meet the requirements of IRC Section 409A, then the violation may result in an additional 20% tax obligation, plus penalties and interest for such participant.
73
There are currently approximately 200 employees who would be eligible to receive awards under the Restated Plan. The number of Awards that an employee may receive under the Restated Plan is in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, for sake of illustration, the following table represents the number of options, restricted stock units and performance share units (at target) granted in 2013 to the following individuals and groups under the 2009 Plan:

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors, certain officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5) with the SEC with a copy to the New York Stock Exchange. These reporting persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms which they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no reports were required, all of these reporting persons made all required filings on time during 2013, except for the following:
2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS
A share owner desiring to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Any such proposal must be received by the Company no later than December 1, 2014. The Company requests that all such proposals be addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999, and be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested.
Share owners who submit to the Company evidence of their Common Stock ownership may recommend candidates for the Board. Recommendations of candidates for the Board submitted by share owners for consideration for the 2015 Annual Meeting will be considered by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee if the Company receives written notice of such recommendations no later than December 1, 2014. The Company requests that all such notices be addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999. The notice must include certain information about that person being recommended, including (i) age, (ii) business and residence addresses, (iii) principal occupation, (iv) a description of any arrangements or understandings between the share owner and such nominee pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by the share owner, and (v) such other information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies to
78
elect that person as a director. The notice must also contain the consent of the nominee to serve as a director if so elected.
Share owners wishing to submit proposals or director nominations that are not to be included in such Proxy Statement must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a share owner's proposal or nomination must be received by the Company no later than February 1, 2015, and must otherwise satisfy the requirements of the Company's By-Laws as then in effect. If the date of the 2015 Annual Meeting changes by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting, a share owner's proposal or nomination must be received by the Company no later than ten (10) calendar days following the first public announcement of the revised date of the 2015 Annual Meeting.
This Proxy Statement contains "forward looking statements" (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements are based on the Company's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. The forward looking statements may include statements regarding actions to be taken by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward looking statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the Company's business, particularly those mentioned in the risk factors in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
The Company will pay the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement and other costs of the proxy solicitation made by the Board. Certain of the Company's officers and employees may solicit the submission of proxies authorizing the voting of shares in accordance with the Board's recommendations, but no additional remuneration will be paid by the Company for the solicitation of those proxies. Such solicitations may be made by personal interview, telephone and telegram. Arrangements have also been made with brokerage firms and others for the forwarding of proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of Common Stock, and the Company will reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.
The Company has made this Proxy Statement, the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Stakeholder Letter available to each share owner entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. These materials may be accessed on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. Included in the Form 10-K are the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
A copy of the Company's Form 10-K, including the financial statement schedules, as filed with the SEC, may be obtained without charge by sending a written request therefor to Owens-Illinois, Inc., Investor Relations, One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999. The Form 10-K is also available without charge on the Company's website at www.o-i.com.

2005 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
The purpose of the Owens-Illinois, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the success and enhance the value of, as well as aid Owens-Illinois, Inc.

This Plan constitutes the further amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Owens-Illinois, Inc. 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the "2009 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 23, 2009. In the event that the Company's stockholders do not approve the Plan at the 2014 annual meeting, the 2009 Plan will continue in full force and effect on the terms and conditions set forth in the 2009 Plan as if the terms of this Plan were not adopted or approved by the Board.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
3.1 Number of Shares.
(a) Subject to Article 11 and Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 22,000,000 shares, provided, however, that such aggregate number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by 1.75 shares for each share of Stock delivered in settlement of any Full Value Award. The maximum shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be 22,000,000 shares.
(b) If any shares of Stock subject to an Award that is not a Full Value Award are forfeited or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the shares of Stock subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan. To the extent that a Full Value Award is forfeited or expires or such Full Value Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the shares of Stock available under the Plan shall be increased by 1.75 shares of Stock subject to such Full Value Award that is forfeited, expired or settled in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shares of Stock shall not be added to the shares of Stock authorized for grant under Section 3.1(a) and

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no shares of Stock may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
(c) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares of Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.
3.2 Stock Distributed. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market.

To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.
(d) Ten Percent Owners. An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

5.4 Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the price per share of the shares of Stock subject to such Option may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares of Stock subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares.

ARTICLE 9.
PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS
9.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Article 9 is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify Awards other than Options and SARs and that are granted pursuant to Articles 6 and 8 as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article 9 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 6 or 8; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 9.
9.2 Applicability. This Article 9 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period.
9.3 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under Articles 6 and 8 which may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.
9.4 Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, or required by applicable law, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award or Performance Bonus Award for such Performance Period is paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
9.5 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

10.2 Award Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include the term of an Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant's employment or service terminates, and the Company's authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.
10.3 Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee by express provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including but not limited to members of the Participant's family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant's family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a "blind trust" in connection with the Participant's termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company's lawful issue of securities.
10.4 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 10.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

10.5 Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such
B-14
certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).
10.6 Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
10.7 Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which Participants may make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, including payment of any tax withholding, which shall include, without limitation: (i) cash, (ii) shares of Stock held for such period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the exercised portion of the Option, or the amount of taxes to be withheld, (iii) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Stock then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (iv) other property acceptable to the Committee, and the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be permitted to make payment on any Award granted under the Plan with a loan or other extension of credit from the Company.
10.8 Claw-Back Provision. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Committee shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Participant to agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that any Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Stock underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of
B-15
applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/ or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 11.1(b) the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested;
(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; and
B-16
(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;
(iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and
(v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.
11.2 Impact of a Change in Control.

11.3 Outstanding AwardsCertain Mergers. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation.
11.4 Outstanding AwardsOther Changes. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article 11, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share grant or exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights hereunder.
11.5 No Other Rights.

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.1 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.
15.2 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of such shares of Stock.
15.3 Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award within six months (or such other period as may be determined by the Committee) after such shares of Stock were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy the Participant's federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.
B-20
15.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.
15.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
15.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
15.7 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
15.8 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
15.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
15.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.
15.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
15.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid pursuant to the
B-21
Plan. If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
15.13 Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.
15.14 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
