TABLE OF CONTENTS
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE PROGRAM
At V2X, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) program forms an important part of our corporate values and long-standing business priorities. Our ESG programs reflect our current understanding of the goals and requirements of our stakeholders, and the relevant laws, regulations, and standards under which we operate.
Our Board standing committees oversee various aspects of our ESG program and our progress toward achieving our ESG aspirations:

The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees our ESG programs, including environmental and health and safety matters.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee receives reports from management on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and initiatives.

The Audit Committee oversees the company’s compliance program, including our Code of Conduct and ethics program, and reviews the cybersecurity program and cyber risk assessment.
With support from our Board, we formalized our ESG governance framework to better support our ESG program, including an executive leadership oversight and a Steering Committee, comprised of cross-functional leaders, to implement ESG initiatives and policies. In October 2023 we published our first ESG report providing an overview of our 2022 ESG initiatives and describing our journey to formalize our ESG strategy. For our ESG report, refer to our website at: https://gov2x.com/corporate-responsibility/.
An ESG prioritization assessment is essential to determine the ESG topics that are most important to our business and stakeholders. In early 2023, we engaged stakeholders across the Company, including management and leadership, and incorporated the perspectives of our communities, customers, employees, investors and suppliers using internal proxies to identify 11 high-priority ESG topics.

WHAT IS A “BROKER NON-VOTE”?
The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares. Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“discretionary matters”) but do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-discretionary matters”). A broker may cast a vote on behalf of a beneficial owner from whom the broker has not received instructions with regard to discretionary matters but not non-discretionary matters. The broker’s inability to vote with respect to the non-discretionary matters to which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under current NYSE interpretations, agenda Item 2, the ratification of RSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a discretionary item.item so your broker has

Accordingly, broker non-votes and abstentions will not have any effect on the election of a Director. Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is not permitted.

Items 2 3 and 43 will be considered to have passed if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast either for or against these proposals, and accordingly will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposals.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A DIRECTOR NOMINEE FAILS TO RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST IN AN UNCONTESTED ELECTION?
Our By-Laws provide that in uncontested elections, any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority of the votes cast, but who also is a Director at the time, shall promptly provide a written resignation, as a holdover Director, to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies.
We will deliver only one copy of the proxy materials to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of those shareholders. We will, upon written or oral request, promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials to a shareholder at a shared address
to which single copies of the documents were delivered. You can make such request by writing to: Corporate Secretary, V2X, Inc., 2424 Garden of the Gods Road,7901 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80919700, McLean, Virginia 22102 or by calling 719-591-3600.571-481-2000. Shareholders wishing to receive separate copies of the proxy materials in the future or shareholders sharing an address wishing to receive a single copy of proxy materials in the future may also contact our Corporate Secretary as described above. Copies of our 2023 Annual Report, filed with the SEC, are also available without charge to shareholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary.
Some brokers also household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be sending householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, please notify your broker.
We also make available, free of charge on our website(https://investors.gov2x.com/financials/sec-filings/) all of our filings that are made electronically with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. To access these filings, go to our website (www.vectrus.com) and click on “SEC Filings” under the “Investors” heading. Copies of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, are also available without charge to shareholders upon written request addressed to: Corporate Secretary, V2X, Inc., 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80919.
INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
In accordance with SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement 2021and the 2023 Annual Report, on Form 10-K and Annual Report to Shareholders, and voting via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and the subsequent interim periods through April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, there were no “disagreements,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, between the Company and Deloitte, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and the subsequent interim periods through April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted RSM with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided to the Company that RSM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in

The2024. Such appointment is being submitted to shareholders for ratification with a view toward soliciting the opinion of shareholders, which will be taken into consideration in future deliberations. Although shareholder ratification is not required by our organizational documents, or applicable law, the Board believes that it is a sound corporate governance practice to seek shareholder ratification of the appointment of RSM.
If our shareholders fail to ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection; however, it is under no obligation to engage a different independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee retains discretion to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit Committee concludes such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. We expect that representatives of RSM will virtually attend the 20222024 Annual Meeting and that representatives of Deloitte will not attend.Meeting. Representatives of RSM may respond to appropriate questions from shareholders at the meeting or make a statement, if requested. RSM is a registered public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
The Audit Committee also reviewed the terms and conditions of RSM’s engagement letter. The Audit Committee discussed these considerations as well as RSM’s fees and services with RSM and our management.

The Amended Plan renames, amends and restates in its entirety the Vectrus, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as previously amended and restated (the “2014 Plan”). Any capitalized terms not defined in this proposal shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended Plan, attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
The Amended Plan establishes a new pool of shares that may be issued under the plan, which consists of 893,000 shares, plus any shares that remain available for issuance under the 2014 Plan and any shares subject to awards previously issued under the 2014 Plan which expire or are cancelled pursuant to their terms, as set forth in more detail in the text of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Appendix A and which qualifies this description in its entirety. As of September 2, 2022, there were 466,511 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2014 Plan and 1,710,089 shares subject to awards previously issued under the 2014 Plan.
If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting, we anticipate that we will not have enough shares to make our annual equity award grants in early 2023 and will no longer have an equity compensation plan available for recruiting, retention and incentive purposes, which will severely limit our ability to attract and retain employees and directors.
The closing price of a share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 2, 2022 was $34.48 per share.
Additional changes made in the Amended Plan include:

Removing obsolete provisions relating to the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”);

Clarifying that the Company’s annual cash bonus program may be operated under the Amended Plan; and

Removing certain limitations previously applicable to the size of certain types of awards.
If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders, the terms of the 2014 Plan as currently in effect will continue in existence (without the proposed amendments noted above).
Other than the 2014 Plan, we currently have no other plan that provides for grants of equity-based awards to our employees or Non-Employee Directors.
SUMMARY OF THE AMENDED PLAN
The following is a description of the Amended Plan. The description of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by the actual provisions of the Amended Plan, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
Key Features Designed to Protect Shareholders’ Interests
The Amended Plan’s design reflects our commitment to strong corporate governance and the desire to preserve shareholder value, as demonstrated by the following Amended Plan features:

Minimum Vesting Period. The Amended Plan generally requires a minimum vesting period of one year for awards to employees

No Evergreen Feature. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan is fixed and cannot be increased without shareholder approval.

Repricing Prohibited. Shareholder approval is required for any repricing, replacement or buyout of underwater awards.

No Discount Awards; Maximum Term Specified. Stock options and stock appreciation rights must have an exercise price no less than the closing price of stock on the date the award is granted and a term no longer than ten years.

Limits on Non-Employee Director Compensation. The Amended Plan includes a limit of $500,000 on the combined value of equity awards and cash compensation provided to any Non-Employee Director in any fiscal year. For information on the compensation received by our Non-Employee Directors in 2021, see “Non-Management Director Compensation.”

Award Design Flexibility. Different kinds of awards may be granted under the Amended Plan, giving us flexibility to design our long-term incentives to complement the other elements of compensation and to support our attainment of strategic goals.
23


Performance-Based Awards. The Amended Plan permits the grant of performance-based stock awards that are payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals.

Awards are Subject to Clawback. Awards and related payments under the Amended Plan are subject to recoupment or clawback under certain circumstances.

No Tax Gross ups. The Amended Plan does not include any tax gross up provisions.
Purpose
The purpose of the Amended Plan is to advance our interests by providing an incentive program that will enable us to attract, retain and motivate employees and Directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts our success depends, and to provide them with an equity interest in the Company in order to motivate superior performance.
Eligibility
As of January 1, 2022, we had approximately 7,477 Employees and eight Non-Employee Directors. Following our combination with Vertex, as of September 2, 2022, we had approximately 15,355 Employees and nine Non-Employee Directors. All of our Employees and Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan.
Plan Administration
The Amended Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee interprets the terms and intent of the Amended Plan and determines who is eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Plan. The Compensation Committee may adopt rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the Amended Plan and may delegate administrative duties to one or more of its members or to one or more agents or advisors. Additionally, the Compensation Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more of our officers to designate who can receive awards and the size of the awards, except the Compensation Committee may not delegate these responsibilities to any officer for awards granted to an employee that is considered one of our elected officers.
Shares Authorized, Shares Available for Issuance and Limits on Awards
Subject to adjustments as provided in the Amended Plan in connection with certain restructuring and other significant events that change the value of our stock, the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the
Amended Plan after October 27, 2022 is 893,000 shares, plus any shares that remain available for issuance under the 2014 Plan and any shares subject to awards previously issued under the 2014 Plan which expire or are cancelled pursuant to their terms. All of the shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan may be used pursuant to incentive stock options.
Upon the exercise of a stock-settled stock appreciation right or net-settled stock option granted under the Amended Plan, the number of shares subject to the award (or portion of the award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan on the basis of one share for every share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of shares issued upon exercise. Any shares withheld (or, with respect to restricted stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as shares issued. Shares tendered in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations or a stock option exercise price or repurchased by the Company with proceeds collected in connection with the exercise of outstanding stock options may not be added back to the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan.
No shares were transferred from any prior plan to the 2014 Plan. Shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding awards granted in replacement of awards originally granted under a prior plan maintained by Exelis Inc. (defined as “Converted Awards” in the Amended Plan) are not considered available for grants. Shares that are subject to any awards under the Amended Plan (including Converted Awards), that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares, are settled in cash in lieu of shares of common stock or are exchanged with the Compensation Committee’s permission for awards not involving shares of common stock, will be available again for grant under the Amended Plan.
Description of Awards
Stock-based and cash compensation will typically be issued in consideration for the performance of services to us and our subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Amended Plan provides for a number of forms of stock-based compensation as well as cash compensation. The Compensation Committee may award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards as described below.
24

Stock Options
The Compensation Committee can award incentive stock options, which are intended to comply with Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options, which are not intended to comply with Section 422 of the Code. The Committee determines the terms of the stock options, including the period during which the stock options may be exercised, which may not exceed ten years, and the exercise price of the stock options, which may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Subject to the specific terms of the Amended Plan, the Compensation Committee has discretion to set any additional limitations on stock option grants as it deems appropriate.
Each stock option award agreement sets forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock option following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a Director. The termination provisions are determined within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service as a Director, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan.
Upon the exercise of a stock option granted under the Amended Plan, the exercise price is payable in full either in cash or its equivalent, tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired shares having an aggregate fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, broker-assisted cashless exercise, net exercise, a combination of the foregoing or by any other method approved by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
Stock Appreciation Rights
The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights in tandem with stock options, freestanding and unrelated to options or any combination of those forms. In any case, the form of payment of a stock appreciation right will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant and may be in shares of common stock, cash or a combination of the two. If granted other than in tandem, the Compensation Committee will determine the number of shares of common stock covered by, and the exercise period for, the stock appreciation right.
The Amended Plan provides that a stock appreciation right’s base price may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted.
Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the participant will receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of one share of the stock on the grant date, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise. If granted in tandem with an option, a stock appreciation right’s exercise period may not exceed that of the option.
The participant may exercise a tandem stock appreciation right when the option is exercisable, surrender the option and receive on exercise an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date of exercise over the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise.
Each stock appreciation right award agreement will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock appreciation right following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a Director. The termination provisions will be determined within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a Director, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan.
Restricted Stock
The Compensation Committee is also authorized to award shares of restricted common stock under the Amended Plan upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. The participants may be required to pay a purchase price for each share of restricted stock granted. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of shares of restricted common stock granted and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee determines, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan. Although participants may have the right to vote these shares from the date of the grant, they will not have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the shares during the applicable period of restriction or until satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Participants may also receive dividends on their shares of restricted stock and the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine how such dividends are to be paid.
Each award agreement for restricted stock will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested restricted stock following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a Director.
25

Restricted Stock Units
The Compensation Committee is authorized to award restricted stock units (also referred to as “RSUs”) under the Amended Plan upon such terms and conditions as it establishes. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of RSUs granted and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee determines, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan. The participants have no voting rights with respect to RSUs and do not have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the RSUs during the applicable period of restriction or until earlier satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Participants may receive credit for dividend equivalents on their RSUs and the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine how such credits for dividend equivalents on restricted stock units are paid.
Each award agreement for RSUs will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested RSUs following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a Director. These provisions will be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all awards of RSUs issued under the Amended Plan and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.
Other Awards
The Compensation Committee may grant other awards, which may include, without limitation, unrestricted shares, the payment of shares in lieu of cash, the payment of cash based on attainment of performance goals, service conditions or other goals established by the Compensation Committee and the payment of shares in lieu of cash under other incentive or bonus programs. Payment under or settlement of any such other awards shall be made in such manner at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion summarizes some of the United States federal income tax consequences with respect to awards that may be granted under the Amended Plan. Participants should consult with their tax advisors for a complete statement of all relevant federal tax consequences. This summary
26

does not describe state, local or foreign tax consequences of an individual’s participation in the Amended Plan.
Federal Income Tax Consequences — Participants Options. An Amended Plan participant will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes when incentive stock options are granted or exercised. If the participant disposes of shares acquired by the exercise of an incentive stock option either before the expiration of two years from the date the options were granted or within one year after the issuance of shares upon exercise of the incentive stock option, the participant will recognize in the year of disposition: (a) ordinary income to the extent the less of either (1) the fair market value of the shares on the date of the option exercise, or (2) the amount realized on disposition exceeds the option exercise price; and (b) capital gain, to the extent the amount realized on disposition exceeds the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise. If the shares are sold after expiration of these holding periods, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on disposition and the option exercise price.
The exercise of an incentive stock option may result in alternative minimum tax liability. The excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased on exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price paid for such shares is considered alternative minimum taxable for alternative minimum tax purposes.
With respect to nonqualified stock options, the participant will recognize no income upon grant of the option, and, upon exercise, will recognize ordinary income to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise over the stock option exercise price.
Upon a subsequent disposition of the shares received from the exercise of an option, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of the exercise and the amount realized on the disposition.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The recipient of a grant of stock appreciation rights will not realize taxable income on the date of such grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash or fair market value of stock received.
Restricted Stock. A participant holding restricted stock will, generally at the time the shares vest,
realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting. Dividends paid to the participant on the restricted stock during the restriction period will generally be ordinary income to the participant.
Restricted Stock Units. A participant holding restricted stock units will, at the time the restricted stock units vest (assuming they are delivered at that time), realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting.
Other Awards. The tax consequences of other awards will depend upon the terms and conditions of such awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. However, a participant holding other awards will generally realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares or cash received at the time of payment of shares or cash.
Awards Subject to Clawback
Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, all awards and any related payments made under the Amended Plan are subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company to the extent set forth in the policy and/or in any notice or agreement relating to an award or payment under the Amended Plan.
Future Plan Benefits
The future benefits that will be received under the Amended Plan by particular individuals or groups are not determinable at this time.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OTHER
MATTERS
STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Articles provide that the Board of Directors is divided into three classes that are as nearly equal in number as possible. The current terms of the Class I Directors expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting, and the current terms of the Class II and Class III Directors will expire at the Annual Meetingannual meeting of Shareholdersshareholders in 2024, 20222025 and 2023,2026, respectively, and in each case, when any successor has been duly elected and qualified. Upon the expiration of each term, Directors will subsequently serve three-year terms if they are renominated and reelected. The Class III Directors nominated for a three-year term are Dino M. Cusumano, Lee E. Evangelakos, Charles L. Prow and Phillip C. Widman. The Class II Directors are Mary L. Howell, Eric M. Pillmore, Joel M. Rotroff and Neil D. Snyder. The Class I directors are Dino M. Cusumano, Lee E. Evangelakos, Charles L. Prow and Phillip C. Widman. The Class III Directors are John “Ed” Boyington,Abbas Elegba, Jr., Melvin F. Parker and Stephen L. Waechter.
In connection with the Vertex Transaction and pursuantOn May 4, 2023, John “Ed” Boyington, Jr. submitted to the Shareholders Agreement, the following directors resignedBoard notice of his resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors, effectivehis position as of the closing of the Vertex Transaction (the “Closing”): Louis Giuliano (who was the Chairmana Class III Director of the Board, effective May 5, 2023. Mr. Boyington resigned for personal reasons and not as a result of Directors prior toany disagreement with the Closing), Bradford Boston (who was the chairperson of the Company’s Compensation Committee and a member of the Company’s Strategy Committee prior to the Closing) and William Murdy (who was a member of the Audit, Nominating and Governance, and Strategy Committees prior to the Closing). No such resignation was due to a disagreementCompany on any matter relating to the Company’sits operations, policies or practices.
Effective as Pursuant to the terms of Closing, the Company’s BoardShareholders Agreement and at the request of Directors became comprised of 11 members, five of whom were appointed by Vertex Holdco including John “Ed” Boyington, Jr., Dino M. Cusumano, Lee E. Evangelakos, Joel M. Rotroff and Neil D. Snyder (the “Vertex Holdco designees”), fiveParties, on May 8, 2023, the Board appointed Mr. Abbas O. Elegba as a Class III Director to fill the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Boyington’s resignation for a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of whom were appointed by the Company, including Mary L. Howell, Melvin F. Parker, Eric M. Pillmore, Stephen L. Waechter and Phillip C. Widman, and one of whom is Charles L. Prow, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of immediately prior to Closing.shareholders.
During the Appointment Period, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement, our Board of Directors will remain comprised of 11 members and the Vertex Holdco Parties will be entitled to designate for nomination and election to the Board of Directors a number of individuals corresponding to the ownership thresholds set forth in the Shareholders Agreement.
Additionally, until the Company’s 2024 annual meeting,Annual Meeting, the Shareholders Agreement requires each Former Vertex Stockholder to vote its shares of common stock (1) for the Vertex Holdco designees and (2) with respect to any nominees who are not Vertex Holdco designees, as recommended by the Nominating and Governance CommitteeCommittee. Beginning at the 2024 Annual Meeting, each Former Vertex Stockholder will vote its shares of thecommon stock in its sole discretion for one Vertex Holdco nominee (assuming an 11-member Board of Directors of the Company.Company) and for all other nominees who are not Vertex Holdco designees, in
the case of an uncontested election, in the same manner as, and in the same proportion to, all shares voted by the Company’s shareholders (excluding all Former Vertex Stockholders), or, in the case of a contested election, at such Former Vertex Stockholder’s option, either in accordance with the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or in the same manner as, and in the same proportion to, all shares voted by, the Company’s shareholders (excluding all Former Vertex Stockholders). For additional information, see “Related Person Transactions — Shareholders Agreement” below.
The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors regularly review our corporate governance practices to ensure that such practices, including the procedures for the election of Directors, remain in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and other relevant constituencies. The Board of Directors believes that its classified structure, which was implemented in 2014 when the Company became an independent, publicly traded company, provides important governance benefits, including stability and continuity in the leadership of the business and affairs of the Company. A classified board also allows the Company to focus on its long-term growth strategies and commitment to long-term shareholder value. The Board also recognizes the benefit of providing our shareholders an opportunity to vote on the performance of all our directorsDirectors on an annual basis. However, after careful consideration, the Board believes that, at this time, the Company will continue to benefit from the classified board structure but will continue to review this structure each yearperiodically for appropriateness. The Company has opted out of the Indiana mandatory classified board structure requirements.
We are “controlled” by the Vertex Holdco Parties and as a result, are a “controlled company” under NYSE rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (i) that a majority of our Board of Directors consist of independent directors, as independence is defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and under the listing standards, (ii) that our Board of Directors have a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors and (iii) that our Board of Directors have a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.
24

We currently utilize these exemptions. As a result, we do not have a majority of independent Directors on our Board of Directors.Directors, nor do we have a Compensation Committee or Nominating and Governance Committee comprised solely of independent directors. In the event that we cease to be a “controlled company” and our shares continue to be listed on the NYSE, we will be required to
28

comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods. These exemptions do not modify the independence requirements for our Audit Committee, and we comply with the applicable requirements of the SEC and the NYSE with respect to our Audit Committee.
During 2021,2023, the Board of Directors held a total of 1712 meetings. Additionally in 2021, six2023, 8 meetings of the Audit Committee, four6 meetings of the Nominating and Governance Committee, six9 meetings of the Compensation Committee and five4 meetings of the Strategy Committee of the Board (“Strategy Committee”) were held. In 2021,2023, all Directors attended at least 90%75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and Committees on which they served during the period served. In conjunction with the regular meetings, those Directors who are not employees of V2X met privatelyin executive session (without management) following fourat each of the five suchregularly scheduled Board meetings during the year. The Non-Executive Chairman presides over these private meetings. It is Company practiceexecutive sessions of the Board.

All Directors attended the Annual Meeting2023 annual meeting of Shareholders. For 2022, the Board has scheduled five regular meetings.shareholders.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Under NYSE rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, NYSE rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominations committees must be independent. As discussed above, we have availed ourselves of the “controlled company” exemption and, as a result, although we have an independent Audit Committee, we do not have a majority of independent Directors on our Board of Directors, nor is each member of our Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee independent.
The Board annually determines the independence of each of our Directors and nominees in accordance with the Corporate Governance Principles, which follow the NYSE definition of “independent.” Under NYSE rules, a director is independent only if our Board of Directors makes an affirmative determination that the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as
a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). The Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Howell, Mr. Parker, Mr. Pillmore, Mr. Waechter and Mr. Widman are “independent directors” as that term is defined under NYSE rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Cusumano, Mr. Elegba, Ms. Evangelakos, Mr. Prow, Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Snyder are not “independent directors” as that term is defined under NYSE rules. Board of Directors members Mr. Elegba, Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Snyder, and Board of Directors members and nominees Mr. Cusumano and Ms. Evangelakos are Vertex Holdco designees. Mr. Cusumano is a General Partner, and Mr. Elegba, Ms. Evangelakos, Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Snyder are Partners at American Industrial Partners, an affiliate of the Company. Mr. Prow is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Audit Committee charter and rules of the NYSE and SEC require that members of the Audit Committee also satisfy separate independence tests, namely that they (i) not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company including its subsidiaries other than their Directors’ compensation, and (ii) not be an affiliated person of the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Parker, Mr. WidmanPillmore, Mr. Waechter and Mr. Waechter are “independent directors” as that term is defined under NYSE rules and that Ms. Howell and Mr. Pillmore would be independent Directors if elected toWidman satisfy these separate independence tests. Accordingly, the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Boyington, Mr. Cusumano, Ms. Evangelakos and Mr. Prow are not “independent directors” as that term is defined under NYSE rules and that Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Snyder would not be independent Directors if elected to the Board of Directors. Board of Directors members Mr. Boyington, Mr. Cusumano and Ms. Evangelakos and Board of Directors nominees Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Snyder are Vertex Holdco designees. Mr. Cusumano is a General

The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its recommendations with the full Board, which separately considers and evaluates the independence of Directors standing for re-election using the standards described above. Each year, the Company’s Directors and executive officers complete questionnaires designed to elicit information about potential related person transactions. Additionally, Directors and executive officers must promptly advise the Corporate Secretary if there are any changes to the information previously provided.

The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its recommendations with the full Board, which separately considers and evaluates the independence of Directors standing for re-election using the standards described above.
In 2022, the Board considered whether there were any regular commercial sales and payments in the ordinary course of business to companies where any of the Directors serve as an employee, executive officer or director, as well as whether there were any charitable contributions with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors, including the Class II Directors standing for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Board determined that there were no such sales to V2X or purchases by V2X, other than de minimis amounts.
The Board determined that there were no Company charitable contributions to any non-profit organizations affiliated with any of the Non-Management Directors. Accordingly, no contribution exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of any non-profit organization. In addition, with respect to each Non-Management Director, V2X made no contribution of $120,000 or greater to any charitable or non-profit organization. In addition, there were no contributions to any nonprofit organization, charity or private foundation over $10,000 requiring approval under the Company’s Charitable Contribution Conflict of Interest Policy for Directors, Director Nominees and Senior Management. See “Charitable Contribution Conflict of Interest Policy” below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Principles for the Company, which provide a general framework for the governance of the Company and are subject to the Shareholders Agreement. For additional information, see “Related Person Transactions—Transactions — Shareholders Agreement” below. The Board of Directors is responsible for selecting the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer in any way it considers in the best interests of the Company. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy on whether the role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be
separate or combined, and if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be
selected from the independent Directors or should be a Company employee. The Chairman of the Board, with input from the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Secretary, establisheswith input from the Chairman of the Board, establish the agenda for meetings of the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Principles further provide that Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board of Directors and Board of Directors Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary for good corporate governance.
To help ensure that Directors are able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, the Corporate Governance Principles provide that Directors who are chief executive officers of publicly-traded companies, including at V2X, may not serve on notthe board of directors of more than onetwo public company boardcompanies (including the V2X Board of Directors) in addition to service on their own board,, and other Directors may not serve on more than four public company boards (including the V2X Board of Directors). Directors must notify the Corporate Secretary prior to accepting an invitation to join another board of a public or private company.

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
The Board of Directors believes that the decision as to whether to combine or separate the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions will depend on the facts and circumstances facing the Company at a given time and could change over time. In today’s challenging economic and regulatory environment, Directors, more than ever, are required to spend a substantial amount of time and energy in successfully navigating a wide variety of issues and in guiding the policies and practices of the companies they oversee. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to separation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer positions, we believe that having theseparating these positions separate allows our President and Chief Executive Officer to focus on running the day-to-day operations of our Company while allowing our Chairman of the Board, who is an independent director, canto devote her time to matters of Board oversight. The Board believes that its organizational structure provides a framework for it to provide independent leadership and engagement while ensuring appropriate insight into the operations and strategic issues of the Company. In addition, the Board

POLICIES FOR APPROVING RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
The Company and the Board have adopted formal written policies for evaluation of potential related person transactions, as that term is defined in the SEC’s rules for related person disclosure, which provide for review and pre-approval of transactions which may or are expected to exceed $120,000 involving Non-Management Directors, executive officers, beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Company’s common stock or other securities and any immediate family of such persons. The Company’s policy generally groups transactions
35

with related persons into two categories: (1) transactions requiring the approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee and (2) certain transactions, including ordinary course transactions below established financial thresholds, that are deemed pre-approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee. In reviewing related person transactions that are not deemed pre-approved, for approval or ratification, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the relevant facts and circumstances, including:


Whether terms or conditions of the transaction are generally available to third parties under similar terms or conditions;


Levels of interest or benefit to the related person;


Availability of alternative suppliers or customers; and


Benefit to the Company.
The Nominating and Governance Committee is deemed to have pre-approved certain transactions identified in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K that are not required to be disclosed even if the amount involved exceeds $120,000. In addition, any transaction with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director and/or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares is deemed pre-approved; provided, however, that with respect to Directors, if a Director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, such transaction shall be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and not be considered appropriate for automatic pre-approval. Regardless of whether a transaction is deemed pre-approved, all transactions in any amount are required to be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of the written procedures above, the Company has followed these procedures regarding all reportable related person transactions.
The Company’s Related Party Transaction Policy is posted on the Company’s website at: http:https://investors.vectrus.com/govdocsinvestors.gov2x.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM
20212023 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS
Long-term incentive awards are intended to directly tie long-term compensation to long-term value creation and shareholder return. The 20212023 long-term incentive program provided for a combinationcomprised of TSRRSU and PSU awards and RSUs to comprise the total long-term incentive award for each NEO. These components are incentives for absolute stock price performance and appreciation as well as TSR performance relative to the specific group of companies referenced below. The Compensation Committee set vesting terms for RSUs based oninformed by the Compensation Consultant’s review and guidance regarding current competitive practice and its assessment of appropriate vesting terms and conditions for V2X. In determining the total long-term incentive award for each NEO, the Committee also considered individual performance.
In 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded two PSU awards. One was based on the attainment of TSR performance measures relative to Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index, including a portion based on TSR performance relative to the entire index and a portion based on TSR performance relative to those companies within the index with annual revenues less than $10 billion (“PSU Group 1 Award”). The second was based on the achievement of certain stock price targets and the attainment of TSR performance measures relative to Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index (“PSU Group 2 Award”). The Compensation Committee weighted the 2021these 2023 long-term incentive awards as follows: 50.0% for TSR and 50.0% for RSUs.

restrictions lapse. NEOs were granted RSU awards because, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee and based on management’s recommendations, these individuals were in positions most likely to assist in the achievement of the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create increased shareholder value over time.

RELATIVE TSR AWARDS GRANTED IN 2021
Upon the Merger with Vertex in July 2022, the original three-year performance period for then-outstanding 2021 TSR awards held by Messrs. Prow and Shreves and Mses. Lynch and Deagle who were executive officers of the predecessor company Vectrus, were separated into two components in accordance with the pre-existing change in control provisions in the TSR agreements, which were triggered by the Merger. The first component was determined based on actual performance relative to Vectrus’ peers from January 1, 2022 through the Merger and the second component from the Merger through December 31, 2023 was deemed to be attained at target. The payment for the 2021 TSR awards was made in January 2024 at an overall attainment level of 49.77% of target. Vesting of these awards was not accelerated in connection with the Merger.
The payment for the 2021 TSR awards was made in cash to our NEOs in January 2024 at an overall attainment level of 49.77% of target award as follows:

V2X also established and maintains a non-qualified, unfunded Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan to provide key employees an opportunity to earn benefits in excess of the benefits that may be earned under the Vectrus 401(k) Plan. This plan is discussed in more detail in “Non-qualifiedunder “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for 2021”Compensation” below.
SEVERANCE PLAN
ARRANGEMENTS
The plans discussed below are described in more detail inunder “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”Control” below. The severance plans apply to key V2X employees as defined by Section 409A.409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The V2X severance plan arrangements are not considered in determining other elements of compensation. All of the V2X NEOs were covered under the Company’s Senior Executive Severance PlayPay Plan and the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.Plan (which do not provide overlapping payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination).
SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives. Seniorexecutives if the Company terminates the senior executive’s employment without cause. Certain senior executives who are U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are covered by this plan. The
Pursuant to the plan, generally provides for severance payments if the Company terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause.are not required in instances where:
The exceptions to severance payments are:


the executive terminates his or her own employment;


the executive’s employment is terminated for cause; or


if the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment with a purchaser in a divestiture situation.
No severance is provided for termination for cause because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. No severance is provided where an executive accepts or refuses comparable employment in a divestiture situation because the executive had the opportunity to receive employment income from another party under comparable circumstances. All of the NEOs are covered under this plan.
SPECIAL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN
The purpose of thisThis plan is to provideprovides compensation in the case of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with an Acceleration Event (defined in(described under “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”) below). The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company’s future performance after certain change in control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders by providing for certain compensation and retention benefits and payments, including change in control provisions, in the case of an Acceleration Event.
The purposes of these provisions are to:


provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without
62

change in control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive;


keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders;


retain key talent in the face of potential transactions; and


attract talented employees in the competitive marketplace.
As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives, including any NEO, whose employment was terminated by the Company without cause, or where the covered executive terminated his or her employment for good reason within two years after the occurrence of an acceleration eventAcceleration Event as described below (including(generally excluding a termination due to death or disability) or if during the two-year period following an Acceleration Event, the covered executive had grounds to resign with good reason or the covered executive’s employment was terminated under certain circumstances in contemplation of an Acceleration Event that ultimately occurred.
The plan is designed to put the executive in the same position for a period of time from a compensation and benefits standpoint, as he or she would have been in without a termination related to the Acceleration Event. With respect to incentive planAIP awards, since the executive would no longer have the ability to influence the corporate objectives upon which the awards were based, the plan provides that any AIP awards be paid to the executive at target.
CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
As described more fully inunder “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,”Control” below, the Compensation Committee has provided for treatment of short-term and long-term incentive plans, severance arrangements and the excess savings plan upon a change in control.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES
V2X executives are eligible to participate in V2X’s broad-based employee benefits programs, including medical, dental, vision coverage, and other specified benefit plans according to the plan documents. As of 2024, Section 16 Officers are also provided access to executive health benefits which include executive physicals.
PERQUISITES FOR NEOs
V2X provides only those perquisites that it considers to be reasonable and consistent with competitive practice. The Compensation Committee continues to review benefits and perquisites to assure they are reasonable and consistent with competitive practice.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AND POLICIES
COMPENSATION CLAWBACK POLICY
The Board of Directors has adopted a clawbackrecoupment policy that enables the Board to provide forseek recoupment of performance-based compensation, if the Board of Directors determinesincluding cash incentives and equity-based compensation, from an employee that a senior executive has engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct, fraud, theft, or embezzlement.
The Board has also adopted a clawback policy that enables the Board to seek a clawback of compensation in the event of a material accounting restatement of the Company’s financial results, irrespective of fraud or willful misconduct. This would include annual cash incentive and bonus awards and all forms of equity-based compensationmisconduct, pursuant to the extent such awardspolicy. The clawback policy applies to any Section 16 Officer, including our NEOs, which shall be deemed to include any individuals identified by the Company as executive officers pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K. Both current and former executive officers are performance-based. If, in the Board of Directors’ view, the compensation related to V2X’s financial performance would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board of Directors will,subject to the extent permitted by applicable law, seekclawback policy. During fiscal year 2023, there were no events that triggered a right to a clawback or recoupment from that seniorany of our executive of any portion of such compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. The NEOs, Senior Vice Presidents, Corporate Vice Presidents, executives who are direct reports to the President and CEO and their direct reports are covered by this policy.officers.
EQUITY GRANT POLICY —  CONSIDERATION OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
V2X equity-based awards granted to NEOs, senior and other executives, and equity-based awards granted to Directors, are awarded and priced on the same date as the approval date or a subsequent date approved by the Compensation Committee for administrative reasons. V2X may also make equity-based grants in the case of the promotion of an
existing employee or hiring of a new employee. These grants may be made at a time V2X is in possession of material non-public information related to the promotion or the hiring of a new employee or other matters.matters, although we did not make equity-based grants in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar instruments with option-like features in 2023. V2X does not time its release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation, and executive compensation decisions are not timed to the release of material non-public information.
CONSIDERATION OF TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPACTS
Section 162(m) — Section 162(m) of the Code as in effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Act in December 2017 placedgenerally imposes a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that V2X couldcan deduct in any one year with respect to its “covered employees,” which consisted ofincludes the NEOs. While the Compensation Committee may take any limit on deductions into account in making its Chief Executive Officer andcompensation determinations, the three other highest-paid NEOs, other than the Chief Financial Officer. There was an exceptionCompensation Committee may determine to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-basedaward compensation meeting certain requirements.
63

The Tax Act retained the $1,000,000 deduction limit, but repealed the performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limit and expanded the definition of “covered employees,” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. Consequently, compensation paid in 2018 and later years to NEOs in excess of $1,000,000that is not deductible, unless it qualifies for transitional relief applicableif deemed to certain binding, written performance-based compensation arrangements that werebe in place asthe best interests of November 2, 2017.V2X.
The Compensation Committee generally intends to continue to comply withSection 409A — Section 409A of the requirements of Section 162(m) as it existed prior to the Tax ActCode imposes an additional tax on service providers with respect to performance-basedcompensatory payments that are considered to be deferred compensation unless the arrangement meets certain requirements set forth in excess of $1,000,000 payable under outstanding awards granted before November 2, 2017 under our 2014 Plan in order to qualify them for the transitional relief. However, no assurance can be given that the compensation associated with these awards will qualify for the transitional relief, due to ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretationSection 409A of the revised Section 162(m)Code and the related requirements for transitional relief.
Section 409A — guidance thereunder. V2X plans are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. While V2X endeavors to comply with other applicable sections of the Code with respect to compensation, the Compensation Committee did not consider other tax implications when designing V2X’s compensation programs.
Excise Taxes — V2X provides “best-net” provisions with respect to any “golden parachute” excise tax triggered by a change-in-control. Under these provisions, if payments triggered by a change-in-control would be subject to an excise tax, then either the payments would be reduced by the amount needed to avoid triggering the tax, or no reduction of payments would occur, depending on which alternative left the executive in the better after-tax position.
POLICYPOLICIES AGAINST INSIDER TRADING AND HEDGING, PLEDGING, AND SPECULATION IN COMPANY STOCK AND INSIDER TRADING
V2X has a policy that prohibits employees (including the NEOs) and Directors from taking advantageengaging in transactions involving V2X stock while in possession of disclosing,material nonpublic information. This policy also applies to certain family members and related

Directors and covered officers must receive specific written approval from the V2X SVP, Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary or using any confidential information for the purpose of personal gain, including buying, selling, or tradingDeputy General Counsel, Corporate prior to engaging in any transaction, including entering into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan, involving V2X security.

Directors and Corporate Vice Presidents and above also annually receive specific instructions with respect to trading in equity securities of V2X to ensure compliance with the Company’s hedging, pledging, speculation and insider trading policies.security.
BUSINESS RISK AND COMPENSATION
Compensation across the enterprise is structured so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged. Total compensation for senior officers is heavily weighted toward long-term compensation consistent with the V2X compensation philosophy,
which is focused on long-term value creation. This focus on long-term compensation discourages behaviors that encourage short-term risks. The President and Chief Executive OfficerCEO and the Senior Vice PresidentSVP and Chief Financial Officer attend those portions of the Compensation Committee meetings at which plan features and design configurations of annual and long-term incentive plans are considered and approved.
Overall enterprise risk is reviewed and considered at the Committee and Board meetings, providing additional important information to the Compensation Committee.
V2X management recently conducted a risk assessment of our compensation policies and programs, including our executive compensation programs. This risk assessment is conducted annually.annually during the course of review of our compensation programs. V2X management reviewed and discussed the findings of the assessment with the Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors which concluded that our compensation programs are designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and do not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior. As a result, we do not believe that risks relating to our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee reviewed management’s summary on the review and assessment of such compensation programs and approved these conclusions.
The Compensation Committee considered risk implications of our compensation programs during its deliberations on the design of our 20212023 executive compensation programs, with the goal of appropriately balancing short-term and long-term performance.

CEO PAY RATIO
In accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to calculate and report an estimate of the ratio of the total compensation of our CEO to the total compensation of our median employee. The intended purpose of the disclosure is to provide a reasonable measure of the relationship of pay between the CEO and the median paid employee. His compensation is discussed in detail in “Individual Executive Positions — 2021 Compensation Information” earlier in this Proxy Statement. The Company believes its compensation philosophy and process represent a responsible approach toward CEO pay. The required disclosure is presented as follows:
Median Employee Total Annual Compensation:$71,251
CEO Total Annual Compensation:$4,083,541
Ratio of CEO Pay to Median Employee Compensation:57.3 to 1.0
In determining the median employee, the Company prepared a listing of all employees as of October 31, 2021. This includes U.S. and non-U.S. employees who were full-time, part-time or temporary employees and those on an approved leave of absence. Approximately 6,100 subcontract employees were excluded from the analysis because their compensation is determined by unaffiliated third parties. The data examined were W-2 wages or foreign equivalent compensation paid from November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021. The median was calculated directly from the arrayed data using taxable wages as the chosen consistently applied compensation measure (“CACM”). Once the median employee was determined, annual total compensation was calculated for that individual using the Summary Compensation Table rules for both the CEO and the median employee. As of October 31, 2021, the Company employed approximately 8,100 persons, excluding the CEO.

PENSION BENEFITS

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED

COMPENSATION FOR 20212023
EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN
The Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan provides our key employees with an opportunity to earn retirement savings benefits in excess of the retirement benefits they may contribute under our 401(k) Plan. Section 415 of the Code limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts ($290,000330,000 in 2021)2023) to the 401(k) Plan. The benefit that is provided to an employee under an excess benefit plan generally amounts to the difference between what the employee would have received under the employer’s qualified retirement plan without applying the Section 415 limitations and what the employee actually receives under the qualified retirement plan.
The Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan is a non-qualified unfunded savings plan. All balances under this plan are maintained on the books of V2X. V2X contributes to the participant’s
excess savings account at 4% of eligible base compensation. Participant investment earnings are based on the Guaranteed Income Fund—Fund — Stable Value Fund in the Vectrus 401(k) Plan. Benefits will be paid to the NEO in a lump sum in the seventh month following the last day worked by such NEO.
NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
In February 2021, the Company offered a new voluntary Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan to employees based on select eligibility criteria. The Vectrus Systems Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan allows certain eligible employees to defer and invest a portion of their compensation for retirement and other life events.
Each year, employees are eligible to defer up to 70% of their eligible salary and/or incentive plan compensation. Employee deferrals and associated earnings are 100% vested at all times. Employees may designate an in-service distribution date on their compensation deferrals. In addition, employees may designate either a lump sum payment or annual installments on their compensation deferrals following their retirement from the Company.
In the event the employee separates from service prior to an in-service distribution date and does not qualify for retirement, their account balance will be distributed as a lump sum payment six months following the last day worked.

PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
In this section, we discuss the compensation payable (including accelerated vesting of equity awards) in the event of a change in control and employment termination under several different circumstances, including voluntary termination, termination for cause, death, disability, termination without cause and termination in connection with a change in control. The term used for change in control under the 2014 Omnibus Plan is “Acceleration Event” as further described below.
The amounts shown in the Potential Post-Employment Compensation table are estimates, assuming the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2021.2023, as required by SEC rules. Values attributed to accelerated vesting of equity-based awards are based on V2X’s closing stock price on December 31, 2021,29, 2023, which was $45.77.$46.44.
PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS PROVIDED GENERALLY TO SALARIED EMPLOYEES
The amounts shown in the table below do not include payments and benefits to the extent these payments and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:


Accrued salary and paid time off; and


Amounts currently vested under the Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan.
No perquisites are provided to the NEOs upon a change in control or in any of the post-employment circumstances shown in the table below.
SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN
CONTROL
SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives. Seniorcovered executives, including the NEOs. Generally, covered executives who are U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are covered by this plan. The plan generally provides for severance payments if V2X terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause. The amount of severance pay under this plan depends on the executive’s base salary (and, in the case of Mr. Prow, target annual incentive opportunity) and years of service. The severance benefit begins at 12 months of pay for less than four years of service and increases up to 18 months of pay for service of nine years or
more. The executives are also eligible to continue receiving subsidized health and welfare benefits during the severance payment period. V2X considers these severance pay provisions appropriate given the job responsibilities and competitive market in which senior executives function. V2X’s obligation to continue severance
payments stops if the executive does not comply with the V2X Code of Conduct or applicable V2X Corporate Policies.corporate policies. V2X considers this cessation provision to be critical to V2X’s emphasis on ethical behavior. V2X’s obligation to continue severance payments also ends if the executive engages in any activity inimical to the best interests of V2X, disparages V2X, induces employees to leave V2X without our consent or does not comply with non-competition provisions of this plan. These provisions protect the integrity of our business and are consistent with typical business arrangements. If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other severance or similar compensation under another V2X plan or agreement or under applicable law, the amount of that other compensation will reduce amounts otherwise payable under this plan, to the extent such offsetting would not violate Code Section 409A. The severance is paid in equal installments over the applicable severance period.
The exceptions to severance payments are:


the executive terminates his or her own employment;


the executive’s employment is terminated for cause, death or disability; or


the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment with a purchaser in a divestiture situation.
Assuming a termination by V2X without cause on December 31, 2021,2023, Mr. Prow would have been entitled to 1416 months of severance, Ms. Deagle and Mr. Shreves would have been entitled to 1315 months of severance, Messrs. Mural and Ms. Lynch and Mr. BoyleBeard would have been entitled to 12 months of severance.
SPECIAL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an Acceleration Event (as defineddescribed below). The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company’s future performance after certain change in control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders without regard to the potential impact a change in control transaction might have with respect to his or her employment by providing severance protections for terminations that arise in connection with a change in control transaction. The following describes the terms of the plan as in effect on December 31, 2021.
65

The purposes of these provisions are to:


provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without
75

change in control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive;


keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders;shareholder value;


retain key talent in the face of potential transactions; and


attract talented employees in the competitive marketplace.
As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives, including the NEOs, if their employment is terminated (i) by the Company without cause within two years after a change in control transaction or prior to a change in control transaction if the termination occurs after public announcement of the transaction (provided the transaction is consummated) or the termination is at the request of a party to thechange in control transaction, or (ii) where the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason (including a termination due to death or disability if at the time of such termination the executive could have resigned for good reason) within two years after a change in control transaction.
This plan provides four tiers of benefits for covered executives, based on their position within the Company and the criticality of their role in a change in control transaction. The Compensation Committee, working in concert with the independent Compensation Consultant, considered four tiers of benefits appropriate based on the relative ability of each tier of employee to influence future Company performance. In the event of a covered termination under this plan on December 31, 2021,2023, the executive would have been entitled to:


any accrued but unpaid base salary and paid time off, any earned but unpaid bonusincentive award (AIP payment) relating to the preceding year, unreimbursed expenses and any amounts to which the executive is entitled under applicable employee benefit plans;


two and a half (2.5) (in the case of Mr. Prow), two (2.0) (in the case of Mses. Lynch and Deagle and Mr. Boyle) and one and a half (1.5) (in the case of Mr. Shreves) times the executive’s annual base salary and target annual incentive opportunity at the time of the termination, paid in equal installments;a lump sum; and


continuation of health insurance benefits at the same levels for the length of the COBRA continuation period.
If payments triggered by a change in control transaction would constitute excess parachute payments for purposes of Code Section 280G, then either: (1) payments would be reduced by the
amount needed to avoid triggering Code Section 280G, or (2) no reduction of payments would occur, depending on which alternative leaves the executive in a better after-tax position.
As of December 31, 2021,2023, Mr. Prow is covered at the Tier 1 level of benefits of 2.5 times, Mses. LynchMr. Mural and Ms. Deagle and Mr. Boyle are covered at the Tier 2 level of benefits of 2.0 times and Mr.Messrs. Shreves isand Beard are covered at the Tier 3 level of benefits of 1.5 times.
SEPARATION AGREEMENT
V2X and Ms. Lynch entered into the Lynch Separation Agreement in connection with her separation and retirement, pursuant to which Ms. Lynch received the following benefits in accordance with applicable senior executive severance pay plans as described above and in consideration for her execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and agreeing to a non-solicit and non-compete: two times annual base salary and target cash bonus, $111,983.00 in settlement of her 2021 – 2023 TSR awards, $249,360 in settlement of her 2022 – 2024 TSR awards, continued benefit coverage for 18 months post-employment, continued vesting of the 10,155 PSUs granted in March 2023 through the end of their 3-year performance period, immediate vesting of her 2021 and 2022 RSU grants, of which 6,820 shares were outstanding, and continued vesting of the 10,155 RSU awards granted in March 2023 through their performance period.
EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ON ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS, EQUITY AWARDS, THE EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN AND THE NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Annual Incentive Awards. Under theAwards.   For 2023, our AIP upondid not contain a change in control the AIP awards for the year of the change in control would be paid at the greater of “target” or actual achievement as of the date of the change in control event. Since the 2021 AIP awards would have been earned as of December 31, 2021 based on continued employment through such date,trigger, and actual performance exceeded target, we have nottherefore, no annual incentive award amount is reflected the 2021 AIP awards in the table below. The NEO’s AIP awards for 2021,2023, including the target opportunities and the actual amounts earned, are discussed in the Compensationunder “Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement. Effective January 1, 2022, the NEO’s annual incentive awards will be issued under the V2X, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.Analysis” above.
Long-Term Incentive Awards. No outstanding long-term incentive awards accelerate solely upon a change in control transaction; however, vesting is accelerated in the event of certain termination of employment scenarios. Following is a description of how the awards are treated upon different termination events.
Stock Options. The stock options become fully vested upon termination due to death or disability. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability), a prorated portion of the option will continue to vest on the applicable vesting dates based on the number of full months of employment during the vesting period, and any remaining unvested portion will expire unless the option holder agrees to comply with the non-competition covenants contained in the stock
66

option agreement, in which case the option will vest without proration on each subsequent vesting date as if employment had continued. If the option holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation or termination by the Company without cause, the
76

unvested portions of the option expire immediately, except that if employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the option holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the options become fully vested.
RSUs. The RSUs for NEOs become fully vested upon termination due to death or disability. UponFor RSUs granted prior to 2023, upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability) or termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the RSUs will continue to vest on the applicable vesting dates based on the number of full months of employment during the vesting period, and any remaining unvested portion will be forfeited unless, in the case of a termination due to retirement, the RSU holder agrees to comply with the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in the RSU agreement, in which case the RSUs will vest without proration on each subsequent vesting date as if employment had continued. For RSUs granted in 2023, upon termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the RSUs will continue to vest as described in the preceding sentence, and if termination is due to retirement (as defined in the preceding sentence) the RSUs will continue to vest on the applicable vesting dates during the vesting period as if employment had continued, provided that the RSU holder complies with the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in the RSU agreement. If the RSU holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation, the unvested portions of the RSUs will be forfeited. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the option holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the RSUs become fully vested. Messrs. Prow and Shreves were retirement eligible (age 60 with 5 years of service) for purposes of their RSU awards on December 31, 2023.
TSR Awards. Upon termination due to death or disability, the 2022 – 2024 TSR awards remain eligible to vest based on actual performance over the performance period (or as determined upon a change in control event as described below if such an event occurs during the performance period) as if the award holder had remained employed. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability) or termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the
2022 – 2024 TSR award will remain eligible to vest based on actual performance over the performance period (or as determined upon a change in control event as described below if such an event occurs during the performance period) as if employment had continued, and any remaining unvested portion will expire unless the termination was due to retirement and the award holder agrees to comply with the non-competition covenants contained in the 2022 – 2024 TSR award agreement, in which case the portion of the award that vests will not be prorated. If the award holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation, the unvested portions of the award will be forfeited. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the award holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the award becomes fully vested, with a prorated portion of the award determined by calculating the average performance
over any completed and open performance periods (based on actual performance through the date of the change in control event) and the remainder based on assumed target performance.
Each of the NEOs has accepted the terms and conditions with respect to their awards, including restrictive covenants. Mr.Messrs. Prow isand Shreves were retirement eligible (age 60 with 5 years of service) for purposes of his long-term incentive awardstheir 2022 – 2024 TSR Awards on December 31, 2021.2023.
PSU Group 1 Awards. Upon termination due to death or disability, the PSU Group 1 Awards vest on a prorated portion based on the actual performance through the date of the termination and the remaining portion of the award shall be determined by reference to the target award. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service) the PSU Group 1 Awards will remain eligible to vest based on the actual performance over the performance period (or as determined upon a change in control event as described below if such an event occurs during the performance period) as if employment had continued, so long as the award holder agrees to comply with the restrictive covenants contained in the PSU Group 1 Award agreement. If the award holder violates the restrictive covenants at any time before delivery of the shares, the award will terminate and expire in all respects. If the award holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation, the award will be forfeited. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the PSU Group 1 Award will remain eligible to vest based on actual performance over the performance period as if employment had continued, and any remaining unvested portion will expire. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the award holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the award
67

becomes fully vested, with a prorated portion of the award determined by calculating the average performance over any completed and open performance periods (based on actual performance through the date of the change in control event) and the remainder based on assumed target performance.
Each of the NEOs has accepted the terms and conditions with respect to their awards, including restrictive covenants. Messrs. Prow and Shreves were retirement eligible (age 60 with 5 years of service) for purposes of their PSU Group 1 Awards on December 31, 2023.
PSU Group 2 Awards. Upon termination due to death or disability, or if employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the award holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the PSU Group 2 award shall be eligible to vest on a prorated portion based on the actual performance through the date of termination (for a termination due to death or disability) or the date of the change in control (for a termination without cause or good reason resignation within 24 months following a change in control) and the remaining portion of the award is forfeited. Upon termination due to any other reason, the PSU Group 2 Award is forfeited.

Additional Information.Information.   The change in control and employment termination provisions in these plans and agreements are intended to provide protections in the context of change in control transaction and
certain termination events so that the executives can focus on preserving value for shareholders when evaluating situations that, without these provisions, could be personally adverse to the executive. Except for the Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan, which defines a change in control by reference to the corresponding definition under Code Section 409A, as of December 31, 2021,2023, change in control was generally defined as one of the following acceleration events (“Acceleration Events”(each, an “Acceleration Event”) for purposes of these plans and agreements:

Mr. Hathaway’s employmentCEO PAY RATIO
In accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to calculate and report an estimate of the ratio of the total compensation of our CEO to the total compensation of our median employee. The intended purpose of the disclosure is to provide a reasonable measure of the relationship of pay between the CEO and the median paid employee. Our CEO’s compensation is discussed in detail under “2023 Compensation Information for NEOs” above. The Company ended on September 3, 2021.
believes its
80
70


compensation philosophy and process represent a responsible approach toward CEO pay. The required disclosure is presented as follows:
Median Employee Total Annual Compensation:$75,448
CEO Total Annual Compensation:$7,555,625
Ratio of CEO Pay to Median Employee Compensation:100.1 to 1.0
In determining the median employee, the Company prepared a listing of all employees as of October 31, 2022. This included U.S. and non-U.S. employees who were full-time, part-time, or temporary employees and those on an approved leave of absence. Approximately 6,500 subcontractors were not included in the analysis because they were not employed by the Company and their compensation is determined by unaffiliated third parties. The data examined were W-2 wages or foreign equivalent compensation paid from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022. The median was calculated directly from the arrayed data using taxable wages as the chosen consistently applied compensation measure. Once the median employee was determined, annual total compensation was calculated for that individual using the Summary Compensation Table rules for both the CEO and the median employee. We elected to identify our median employee every three years unless a significant change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements has occurred. We determined that there has been no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements in 2023 that we reasonably believe would result in significant change to our pay ratio disclosure. Our median employee identified in 2022, departed the Company in 2023, and as such, we replaced that individual with a similar median employee whose compensation is substantially similar to the original median employee. As of December 31, 2023, the Company employed approximately 16,000 employees, excluding the CEO and subcontractors.
PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Our compensation philosophy is to support V2X’s business strategy within the principles of competitiveness, full disclosure, and consistent alignment with long-term value creation. We believe our philosophy encourages individual and group behaviors that balance risk and reward while supporting sustained growth and earnings performance. A substantial portion of our executive compensation is tied to the Company’s internal business and financial performance and share price performance. If internal business and financial performance or share price performance falls below identified thresholds, at-risk incentive compensation is reduced or not paid at all.
As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table and accompanying footnotes and discussion provide certain information regarding executive compensation and measures of Company performance in the last four fiscal years.

All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Participants, the Company, and all other interested persons.
3.2   Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of the Plan and to determine eligibility for Awards and to adopt such rules, regulations, and guidelines for administering the Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting Award recipients, establishing all Award terms and conditions and, subject to Section 4.3 and Article 13, adopting modifications and amendments to the Plan or any Award Agreement, including without limitation, any that are necessary to comply with the laws of the countries in which the Company and its Affiliates operate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may only accelerate the vesting, distribution or payout of an Award in connection with an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3, death, disability or an Acceleration Event.

The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan.

ARTICLE IV
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND MAXIMUM AWARDS
4.1   Number of Shares Available for Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 herein, the number of Shares hereby reserved for issuance after the Restatement Date to Participants under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of (i) 893,000 (eight hundred and ninety-three thousand) Shares; (ii) the number of Shares reserved but unissued under the Existing Plan as of the Restatement Date; and (iii) the number of Shares that become available for reuse under the Existing Plan following the Restatement Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan. For purposes of the prior sentence, Shares subject to Converted Awards shall not be considered available for issuance under the Predecessor Plan. Any Shares related to Awards (including Converted Awards) that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission for Awards not involving Shares (including Awards issued prior to the Restatement Date), shall be available again for grant under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) upon the exercise of a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or net-settled Option, the number of Shares subject to the Award (or portion of the Award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as provided above, on the basis of one Share for every Share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of Shares issued upon exercise, (b) any Shares withheld with respect to an Award (or, with respect to Restricted Stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as Shares issued and (c) any Shares tendered in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations or an Option exercise price or repurchased by the Company with proceeds collected in connection with the exercise of an Option may not be added back to the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan. All of the reserved Shares may be used as ISOs. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares.
4.2   Non-Employee Director Limitations. The maximum grant date fair value of Awards granted during a single fiscal year to any Non-Employee Director, together with all cash fees paid during the fiscal year in respect of the Non-Employee Director’s service as a member of the Board and any Board committees, shall not exceed
A-4

$500,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
4.3   Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering, or recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or similar event, the Committee shall cause there to be made an equitable adjustment to: (a) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan or pursuant to any type of Award under the Plan, (b) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and (c) as applicable, the Option Price or Grant Price of any then outstanding Awards. In the event of any other change in corporate structure or capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, shall cause there to be made such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence. Any fractional shares resulting from adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be eliminated. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
Appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of Article 12, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, share exchange, amalgamation, reorganization or similar transaction upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that no such issuance or assumption shall be made without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder if it would prevent the granting of ISOs under the Plan.
4.4   Minimum Vesting for Equity Awards. Except in the event of the death, disability or in connection with an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3 or an Acceleration Event, Awards granted to an Employee under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant Awards without the above-described minimum vesting requirements, or may permit and authorize acceleration of vesting of Awards otherwise subject to the above-described minimum vesting requirements, with respect to Awards covering 5% or fewer of the total number of Shares authorized under the Plan.

The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Shares as payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of Shares to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate.
Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of written notification of exercise and full payment (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding), the Company shall deliver to the Participant evidence of book entry Shares, or upon the Participant’s request, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under the methods indicated above shall be paid in United States dollars.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may establish and administer the Company’s annual cash incentive plan or plans pursuant to this Plan. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Other Awards may include stock units the vesting of which is conditioned in whole or in part upon the attainment of performance measures selected by the Committee in its absolute discretion (“Performance Stock Units”). The terms and conditions of Performance Stock Units shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of Article VIII applicable to Restricted Stock Units shall also apply to Performance Stock Units granted hereunder.
ARTICLE X
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The performance goals applicable to an Award may be based on one or more performance measures selected by the Committee in its sole discretion. As the Committee may deem appropriate, performance measure(s) may relate to the performance of the Company or an Affiliate as a whole, any business unit of the Company or an Affiliate or any combination thereof, and performance may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to the performance of one or more other companies or an index (including a stock market index). The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals.
ARTICLE XI
RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS
11.1   Employment. Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company and/or its Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment or of the Board of Directors to terminate service as a Director at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service as a Director for any specified period of time.
Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company and, accordingly, subject to Article 3 and Section 13.1, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries.
11.2   Participation. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.
11.3   Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in Article 8 of the Plan or in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares.
ARTICLE XII
ACCELERATION EVENT
The Compensation Committee shall specify in each Participant’s Award Agreement the treatment of outstanding Awards upon an Acceleration Event; provided that any Converted Award will continue to apply the definition of “change in control” or “acceleration event” as provided in the Predecessor Plan under which such Converted Award was originally granted. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no award agreement shall provide for an acceleration of (i) vesting or (ii) distribution or payout of an Award unless there
A-9

is both an Acceleration Event (or “change in control” or “acceleration event” in the case of Converted Awards) and a qualifying termination of employment or service.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION
13.1   Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination. Subject to Sections 3.2, 4.3 and 13.3, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan and any Award Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that, except for a change or adjustment made pursuant to Section 4.3, no Option Price of an outstanding Option or Grant Price of an outstanding SAR shall be reduced (whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement of Awards with other Awards or other payments of cash or property) without shareholder approval.
13.2   Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.3 hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.
13.3   Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award, unless otherwise required by law.
ARTICLE XIV
WITHHOLDING
14.1   Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.
14.2   Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options, or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, or any other taxable event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
ARTICLE XV
SUCCESSORS
All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
ARTICLE XVI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
16.1   Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events shall include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment for cause, violation of material Company and/or Affiliate policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.
A-10

16.2   Legend. The certificates for Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such Shares.
16.3   Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.
16.4   Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
16.5   Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
16.6   Securities Law Compliance. With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
16.7   Registration and Listing. The Company may use reasonable endeavors to register Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of an Award with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification, and listing requirements of any national securities laws, stock exchange, or automated quotation system.
16.8   Delivery of Title. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan prior to:

Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and

Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.
16.9   Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
16.10   Employees or Directors Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Affiliates operate or have Employees or Directors, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:

Determine which Affiliates shall be covered by the Plan;

Determine which Employees and/or Directors outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan;

Modify the administrative terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees and/or Directors outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws;

Establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any subplans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 16.10 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices; and

Take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or approvals.
Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act, the Code, any securities law, or governing statute or any other applicable law.
16.11   Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
A-11

16.12   Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not subject to ERISA.
16.13   No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
16.14   Retirement and Welfare Plans. The value of compensation paid under this Plan will not be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any participant under the Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a participant’s benefit.
16.15   Governing Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of New York, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any related Award Agreement.
16.16   Clawback, Repayment or Recapture Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent allowed under applicable law or regulatory filings, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all Awards granted under the Plan, and any related payments made under the Plan, shall be subject to the requirements of any applicable clawback, repayment or recapture policy implemented by the Company, including any such policy adopted to comply with applicable law (including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Report and Consumer Protection Act) or securities exchange listing standards and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such policy and/or in any notice or agreement relating to an Award or payment under the Plan.
