The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement and form of proxy are being distributed and made available on the internet on or about April 21, 2016,23, 2021, to all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting via webcast and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”) rules, and is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?


In accordance with the SEC rules, we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Accordingly, we are sending the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the close of business on April 15, 20169, 2021 (the “Record Date”) on or about April 21, 2016.23, 2021. Stockholders receiving a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail will not receive a printed copy of proxy materials, unless they so request. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will instruct stockholders as to how they may access and review proxy materials on the internet. Stockholders who receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail who would like to receive a printed copy of the Company’s proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction card,form, should follow the instructions for requesting these materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Stockholders who currently receive printed copies of proxy materials who would like to receive future copies of these documents electronically instead of by mail should follow the instructions for requesting electronic delivery set forth in the proxy card, the form of which is included inwith this proxy statement.


I share an address with another stockholder. Why did we receive only one copy of the proxy materials and how may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?


The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meetingAnnual Meeting materials, including this proxy statement and the annual report to stockholders, with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” is intended to provide extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.


A number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report of stockholders, as applicable, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary

instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications 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 Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report to stockholders, as applicable, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address or

telephone number below if you hold registered shares. If you have multiple accounts in your name or share an address with other stockholders, you canmay also request “householding” and authorize your broker to discontinue mailings of multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy statement or annual report to stockholders, as applicable, by notifying your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address or telephone number below if you hold registered shares.

“ONE YEAR” with respect to the determination, on a non-binding advisory basis, as to whether a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?


Stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 137,914,417145,538,216 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”) and 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), outstanding. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date.

At the Annual Meeting, each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the record holder of Series A Preferred Stock to 16 votes per share, which is the number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted as of the Record Date. Thus, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to an aggregate of 6,400,000 votes for each director nominee and on each other proposal considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting, and will vote as a single class with the holders of our common stock at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the aggregate number of votes that may be cast by the holders of our common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class, is 151,938,216 votes.

The material from your broker, bank or other nominee will include a voting instruction form or other document by which you canmay instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares.

A quorum is required for our stockholders to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting on any matter will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.


Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon at the Annual Meeting.


What votes are required with respect to each proposal?


Proposal No. 1, the nomineenominees for Class III director will be elected by the affirmative vote of a pluralitymajority of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitledwith regard to vote on the election of directors,such nominee, which means that the nominee receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected.

“for” each nominee must exceed the number of votes “against” such nominee.


Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2016, will be determined by2021, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast in person or represented by proxy aton the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.

Proposal No. 3, the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, will be determined byrequires the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast in person or represented by proxy aton the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.matter, which means that the number of votes “for” the proposal must exceed the number of votes “against” the proposal. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.


Proposal No. 4, the non-binding advisory vote on whether a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years, will be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, which means that the number of votes for either “one”, “two” or “three” years must represent a majority of the number of votes cast for these three options in the aggregate. In the event that no option receives a majority of the votes cast, the Company will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option selected by our stockholders. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of future votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

How are broker non-votesvotes counted?

With respect to each of Proposals Nos. 1, 2, and abstentions counted?

3, you may vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting on any such proposal.


With respect to Proposal No. 4, you may vote “one year”, “two years”, “three years” or “abstain”.

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from its clients. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker who has received no instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients’ uninstructed shares on that proposal. At the Annual Meeting, only Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2016,2021, is considered a routine matter. Your broker will therefore not have discretion to vote on Proposals Nos. 1, 3 and 3,4, but will have discretion to vote on Proposal No. 2.


Pursuant to Maryland law, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of Proposals Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 3,4, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.


If any nominee for director in an uncontested election receives a greater number of “against” votes than votes “for” his or her election (a “Majority Against Vote”), the nominee has not received the requisite votes needed to be elected to the Board and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that such incumbent director nominee promptly tender a written offer of resignation to the Chairman of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”) will promptly consider the director’s offer of resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or to take some other action, such as rejecting the tendered resignation and addressing the apparent underlying causes of the Majority Against Vote. In making this recommendation, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant by its members, including, without limitation, the stated reason or reasons why the stockholders voted “against” the election of the applicable director (if ascertainable), the qualifications of the director whose resignation has been tendered, the director’s contributions to the Company, the overall composition of the Board and whether by accepting such resignation, the Company will no longer be in compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation or governing document (including the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards, federal securities laws or the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines), and whether or not accepting the resignation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. In considering the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation, the Board will consider the information, factors, and alternatives considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee and such additional information, factors and alternatives as the Board believes to be relevant. Following the Board’s decision, the Company will publicly disclose the Board’s decision. The director who tenders his or her offer of resignation will not participate in the decisions of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board that concern the resignation.

From time to time,Regularly, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the entire Board review the Company’s leadership structure including the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, to ensure the interests of the Company and its stockholders are best served.


The Nominating and Governance Committee hasand the Board have determined that it is in the best interestinterests of the Company for the positionsposition of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman to be held by a single individual,our Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy J.

The combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles are combined. The combined role is counterbalanced and enhanced by the effective oversight and independence of the Board and the leadership of the Lead Independent Director and independent committee chairs. Moreover, the Board believes that the appointment of a strong Lead Independent Director and the use of regular executive sessions of the non- managementnon-management and independent directors along withallows the Board’s strong committee system and all directors being independent except for Mr. Male, allow itBoard to maintain effective oversight of management. In our view, splitting the roles would potentially make our management and governance processes less effective through undesirable duplication of work and possibly lead to a blurring of clear lines of accountability and responsibility.

The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Company’s risk management process. The Board carries out its oversight responsibility directly and through the delegation to its committees of responsibilities related to the oversight of certain risks, as follows:


The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), as part of its oversight role, is responsible for reviewing with management, the internal auditor and the independent auditor, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and risk management procedures related to, among other things, the Company’s financial condition, the independent auditor, market and industry conditions, legal, compliance and regulatory requirements, and information technology security and disaster recovery, among other responsibilities set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter.cybersecurity.


The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) monitors risks associated with the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs, including its performance-based compensation, to promote an
13


environment which does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk-taking by the Company’s employees. See “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Risk Assessment.”


The Nominating and Governance Committee assesses risk as it relates to monitoring developments in law and practice with respect to the Company’s corporate governanceESG processes and indisclosures, the independence and structure of the board, and reviewing related person transactions.


Each of these committees reports regularly to the Board on these risk-related matters. In addition, theThe Board and its committees also receive regular reports from management that include matters affecting the Company’s strategies and risk profile, including, among other things, operations things:

reports from the Chief Executive Officer and from other senior members of management all of which include strategicon the Company’s operational strategies and operational risks;
reports from the Chief Financial Officer on credit and liquidity risks and on the integrity of internal controlsaudit control over financial reporting; and

reports from the General Counsel on legal risks and material litigation.legal proceedings;
reports from the Chief Human Resources Officer on human capital risks, including diversity and inclusion matters; and

reports from the Chief Information Officer (with input from the Company’s Chief Privacy Officer, as appropriate) on the Company’s information security and cybersecurity risks, compliance and protections.

In addition, the Company has an enterprise risk management program that seeks to identify and manage risks throughout the Company by having its Chief Financial Officer meet with members of each of the Company’s various departments annually to solicit feedback regarding risks affecting the Company. Based on these meetings, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer generates a risk assessment report that is presented to the Board. Further, since assessing risk is an ongoing process and integral to the Company’s strategic decisions, the Board discusses risk throughout the year at its meetings in relation to long-term and short-term business goals and actions, including with management at an annual strategy meeting. Outside of formal meetings, Board members have regular access to our executive officers.officers and management. The Board committee and management reports and real-time management accessCompany believes that the above reporting processes collectively provide the Board with integrated insight oninto the Company’s management of its risks.

While


The Company also has an incident response plan that sets forth the processes for addressing the aftermath and associated risks of an event or incident, such as a cybersecurity incident or health emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting the Company does not currently maintainand/or its personnel. The incident response plan is tested at least annually by the Company and the results of the test are reported to the Audit Committee and the Board by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for discussion and evaluation.

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review periodicallyreviews succession planning at least annually for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and others,other executive officers, and reportreports to the independent directors on the results of these reviews.


The Company also believes that its board leadership structure, discussed in detail above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board. WhileBoard and empowers the Company has a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,directors to be actively engaged in the Lead Independent Director and independent committee chairs are actively involved inCompany’s risk oversight, and there is open communication between management and directors regarding risk oversight.


Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board, with assistance from its Nominating and Governance Committee, regularly assesses the Company’s governance practices in light of legal requirements and governance best practices.


The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, and other information are available in the Investor Relations section of our website atwww.outfrontmedia.com. Any stockholder also may request them in print, without charge, by contacting the Company’s Corporate Secretary at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174.


Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics


The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all executive officers, employees and directors of the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a Supplemental Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. Both the Code of Conduct and the Supplemental Code of Ethics are available in the Investor Relations section of our website atwww.outfrontmedia.com.
14


We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Conduct or the Supplemental Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and relates to any element of the definition of code of ethics set forth in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, by posting such information on our website atwww.outfrontmedia.com.


Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company has adopted an anti-hedging policy that prohibits its directors, executive officers, employees and their related persons from trading in options, warrants, convertible securities, puts and calls or similar derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards and futures with respect to the Company’s securities, or selling the Company’s securities “short.” This policy does not prevent such persons from exercising options granted to them by the Company in accordance with its corporate policies, including any options granted to directors, executive officers and employees in connection with the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program.

Stockholder Rights and Engagement

Annually, the Board reviews and considers appropriate changes to its corporate governance structure, in an effort to increase accountability and responsiveness to the Company’s stockholders. In 2019, the Board implemented several changes to its corporate governance structure, which were approved by the Company’s stockholders to the extent required, and which we believe enhance stockholder rights and generally align the Company’s corporate governance structure with the largest U.S. public companies, including:

changing the voting standard for the election of the Company’s directors from a plurality voting standard to a majority voting standard in uncontested elections and a plurality voting standard in contested elections;

adding a proxy access provision to the Bylaws that permits a stockholder or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least 3% of our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in our proxy materials up to the greater of two directors or 20% of the Board;

eliminating the Company’s supermajority voting requirements for the removal of directors; and

declassifying the Board to allow for the annual election of all directors.

As part of its annual review, the Board considered modifying the Bylaws to allow our stockholders to implement binding amendments to the Bylaws. After careful consideration, which included outreach by certain of our directors and members of management to the Company’s stockholders and to proxy advisory firms to discuss their views and relevant bylaw amendment policies, the Board concluded that it remains in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the authority to amend the Bylaws to remain vested exclusively with the Board. This conclusion was based mainly on three principles: (i) under Maryland law, the directors owe legal duties to the Company, including to act in good faith and with a reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interests of the Company, whereas certain stockholders who are not bound by any legal duty may act only in their own interests; (ii) under Maryland law, the Board has an obligation to direct the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and certain destabilizing stockholder-proposed bylaw amendments, particularly those motivated by short-term gains, may prevent the Board from effectively directing the management of the business for the long-term best interests of the Company, which could lead to costly litigation; and (iii) the Board believes effective means already exist for stockholders to propose non-binding amendments to the Bylaws and other changes to the management of the business and affairs of the Company, including the Company’s proxy access and advance notice provisions in the Bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8. Accordingly, we believe that the Board is in the best position to consider possible future amendments to the Bylaws (including those proposed by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws), and the Board will adopt such amendments only after concluding that such amendments are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Annually, certain of our directors and members of management attempt to engage with the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the prior fiscal year-end, to discuss, among other things, the Company’s corporate governance structure, compensation philosophy and ESG initiatives, and to ensure that the Company is aligned with the interests of its stockholders. The Company’s stockholder engagement practices throughout the year also includes regular communication between our stockholders and the Company’s investor relations department and management presentations at investor and industry conferences.

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation, and evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives;

reviewing and approving compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, executive officers and other senior executives;

evaluating and making recommendations to the Board regarding equity-based and cash incentive compensation plans;

In accordance with its written charter, the Compensation Committee has the power to delegate its authority and duties to subcommittees or individuals as it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board delegated to our Chief Executive Officer limited authority to grant long-term equity incentive awards pursuant to the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP”) to executives who are not senior executives, in connection with their hiring, promotion or contract renewal. The delegation also requires that our Chief Executive Officer report to the

Board periodically on his exercise of this delegated authority. In October 2015, the Compensation Committee delegated to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee (the “Executive Compensation Subcommittee”), the limited authority to review and approve, on behalf of the Compensation Committee, the following: (1) total compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers, including cash-based and equity-based incentive compensation for the Company’s “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Company’s officers and directors subject to Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (2) the Company’s performance metrics and goals in connection with such cash-based and equity-based incentive compensation, including the written certification of the satisfaction of such metrics and goals; and (3) any other compensation provided to the Company’s “covered employees” and the Company’s officers and directors subject to Section 16 for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m) and Section 16.

ClearBridge does not provide any services to us other than the services provided to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviewed its relationship with ClearBridge, considered ClearBridge’s independence and the existence of potential conflicts of interest, and determined that the engagement of ClearBridge did not raise any conflict of interest or other issues that would adversely impact ClearBridge’s independence. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered various factors, including the six factors set forth in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules governing compensation advisor conflicts of interest and independence.

The Compensation Committee (or the Executive Compensation Subcommittee, as the case may be) reviews all components of senior executives’ compensation, including base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives. In approving compensation for the senior executives (other than our Chief Executive Officer), the Compensation Committee considers the input and recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the senior executives’ performances. With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves goals and objectives relevant to his compensation and annually evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives. The results of these evaluations are then reported to the independent directors. The Compensation Committee sets compensation for our Chief Executive Officer taking these evaluations into account. In determining the long- term incentive component of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, without limitation, the Company’s financial performance, relative stockholder return, the value of incentive awards to executives in similar positions at comparable companies, and the awards given to our Chief Executive Officer in past years. The Compensation Committee then reports to the Board on the process for setting compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. For further information regarding the Company’s processes and procedures for the consideration of executive compensation, as well as director compensation, see the sections entitled “Executive Compensation,” “—Nominating and Governance Committee,” and “—Director Compensation.”The Board has determined that Messrs. Mathes and Brien and Ms. Courtin meet the independence requirements applicable to compensation committee members under the NYSE listing standards and the applicable SEC rules, and are also “non-employee directors” for purposes of Section 16.During 2020, the Compensation Committee held four meetings and acted by unanimous written consent three times.

Policy Regarding Director Nominations

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding nominations of candidates for election as a director of the Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board to annually review the composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of independence, diversity, age, skills, experience, availability of service to the Company, tenure of incumbent directors on the Board and the Board’s anticipated needs. The Nominating and Governance Committee will recommend director candidates to the Board in accordance with the criteria, policies and principles set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account factors such as the individual’s accomplishments in his or her professional background, current or former leadership positions held by the individual, whether the individual is able to make independent, analytical inquiries and exhibit practical wisdom and mature judgment, other directorships held by the individual, and other relevant factors. Directors of the Company are also expected to possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to promoting the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. As part of its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers diversity, including the individual’s professional background, gender and ethnicity, among other characteristics. As a result of considering diversity as part of its nomination process, multiple industries are represented on the Board, including law, advertising, media and marketing, investment management and banking, among others. Additionally, distinguished contributors to governmental and not-for-profit organizations also serve on the Board, as well as one female director and one Hispanic director. After taking these considerations into account, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined to recommend to the Board that Mr. Brien, a Class II member of the Board, be nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting.

A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate for election to the Board must send a written notice to the Company’s Secretary at OUTFRONT Media Inc., 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174 in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Bylaws. See “Stockholder Proposals for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.” The Company’s Secretary will review the information received about the

stockholder candidate and determine whether such person meets the qualifications for the Company’s directors set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. If the stockholder candidate does meet such qualifications and the notice satisfies the requirements of the Bylaws, the information on the stockholder candidate will be forwarded to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, who will present the information on the stockholder candidate to the entire Nominating and Governance Committee. Director candidates recommended by stockholders will be considered by the Board in the same manner as any other candidate.

Board and Committee Self-Assessments

Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, the Board and its committees each conduct a self-evaluation at least annually. Our processes enable directors to provide anonymous and confidential feedback, which is then reviewed and addressed by the independent directors in an executive session led by the Lead Independent Director. In addition, each committee’s chair reviews the feedback with each of their respective Committees in order to promote the effectiveness of the Board and each committee.

Director Compensation


The Nominating and Governance Committee periodicallyannually reviews and periodically recommends for the Board’s approval the form and amount of compensation for directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Outside Directors”). Only Outside Directors are eligible to receive compensation for serving

on the Board. In accordance with the charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee with(with input from the Compensation Committee and ClearBridge, as appropriate), is guided by three principles in its review of Outside Director compensation and benefits: (1) Outside Directors should be fairly compensated for the services they provide to the Company, taking into account, among other things, the size and complexity of the Company’s business and compensation and benefits paid to directors of comparable companies; (2) Outside Directors’ interests should be aligned with the interests of stockholders; and (3) Outside Directors’ compensation should be easy for stockholders to understand.


Accordingly, the compensation program for Outside Directors currently consists of (1) cash compensation in the form of annual Board, committee chair, committee member and Lead Independent Director retainers and (2) equity compensation in the form of an annual restricted share unit (“RSU”) grant (or a pro-rated RSU grant if the Outside Director joined the Board following the date of the annual RSU grant, but during 2015).

During 2015, director annual compensation was adjusted to remain competitive relative to the Company’s peer group. Based on a competitive analysiscalendar year of the Company’s Outside Director compensation program in 2015 supported by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation advisor, ClearBridge, the Board approved an increase in the annual cash retainer from $60,000 to $70,000 as of July 1, 2015 and an increase in the annual equity retainer from $60,000 to $120,000 as of June 9, 2015. The Board also eliminated the $1,000 fee paid to each director for each committee meeting attended and replaced such fees with a $10,000 committee member retainer. The Board also approved an increase in the annual cash retainer for each committee chairperson from $10,000 to $20,000 and the annual retainer of the Company’s Lead Independent Director from $10,000 to $20,000 to reflect the additional responsibilities of these roles.

Stock Ownership Guidelines


The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that non-employee directors are expected to own shares of our common stock having a market value of at least three times their annual cash retainer within three years of becoming a director.

Overview of Role


The following is an overview of the Committee’s major decisions in 2020 and changes to named executive officer (“NEO”) compensation. The compensation for our NEOs is presented in additional detail in the compensation tables and narratives following this summary and following the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to mitigate the effects of the pandemic had a significant impact on the global economy and our business in 2020. These preventative measures included government-imposed and other shutdowns and restrictions on businesses, public gatherings, social interactions and travel, which resulted in reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences throughout the markets in which we do business.

Throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers by (i) shifting to a secure remote workforce for personnel other than operations personnel who service our displays and certain other personnel, (ii) implementing deep cleaning, social distancing and other protective policies and practices in accordance with federal, state and local regulations and guidance across all offices and facilities that are open or in the process of reopening, (iii) restricting non-essential business travel, and (iv) communicating frequently with our employees and customers to address any concerns. In addition, in order to preserve financial flexibility, increase liquidity and reduce expenses in light of the current uncertainty in the global economy and our business, we modified our business goals and undertook several actions to date, including, among other things, issued $400.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock and certain senior notes, amended our credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to modify the calculation of our financial maintenance covenant ratio, suspended our quarterly dividend payments on our common stock, temporarily suspended or delayed our deployment of digital transit displays, and reduced certain growth and maintenance capital expenditures and expenses. The impact on our business required the Company’s management to increase its existing responsibilities significantly, and navigate difficult operational and financial risks and uncertainties throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite this impact to our business, we did not change our compensation plans or financial targets during 2020 even though they were established prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly and as further described below, since we did not meet our threshold financial performance goals for 2020, the performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) granted to the NEOs in 2020 were forfeited and the performance-based cash bonuses were paid below target using only the NEO individual performance component to determine NEO payouts. In addition, from May 12, 2020 to September 9, 2020, each NEO agreed to a temporary reduction in base salary by 20% (or by 50%, in the case of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer).

In February 2021, the Committee, in consultation with ClearBridge, determined that in order to further align the NEOs with our stockholders, strengthen the relationship between pay and performance and incentivize the continued efforts of the NEOs through a post-pandemic recovery, it would approve one-time equity grants to the NEOs in addition to the Company’s standard annual long-term equity incentive award grants. The grant values of the one-time equity awards were equal to 100% of each NEO’s current base salary, and comprised of 60% PRSUs and 40% time-based RSUs (“TRSUs”). The PRSU performance metric will be based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSRs of the companies in the iShares Evolved U.S. Media and Entertainment Index as of January 1, 2021, measured over a two-year performance period, with the number of PRSUs eligible to vest ranging from 0% to 200% of target based on a percentile ranking of the Company’s relative TSR. Subject to the performance condition, these one-time equity grants will cliff vest in full on the second anniversary of the award grant date. Except with respect to the performance condition and the time-vesting period, the terms and conditions of the one-time equity grants are substantially similar to those of the Company’s standard annual long-term equity incentive grants.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 presented extremely difficult operational and financial challenges for the Company and its management. In connection with, and in spite of, these challenges, the Company accomplished the following in 2020:
üWe renegotiated approximately 2,500 lease abatements resulting in an aggregate cost savings of over $15 million
üWe reduced the guaranteed minimum annual payments on nearly all of our transit franchise agreements
üWe built or converted 142 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and Canada
üWe enhanced our liquidity position through, among other things, the issuance of $400.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of new senior notes
üWe paid cash common dividends of $55 million prior to suspending our quarterly dividend payments on common stock in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
üWe continued to invest in our personnel and corporate culture and made progress on our ESG initiatives, including our diversity and inclusion program
üWe deployed 2,803 digital displays in connection with the Company’s transit franchise agreement with the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (“MTA”) despite temporarily suspending deployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic
üWe continued to make technology enhancements to improve our products and services, including shifting to a secure remote workforce for most personnel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
üWe successfully negotiated 7 labor union agreements expiring in 2020

Our Compensation Philosophy


We strive to have a compensation philosophy that is flexible and aligned with our human resources and business strategies. From time to time, theThe Committee and our management team periodically review and consider changes to the philosophy to ensure it is reasonable and market-competitive. Our compensation consultant, who advised us on the compensation philosophy during 2015, is2020, continues to be supportive of these key tenets.


In summary, our compensation philosophy is to deliver compensation programs that support the Company’s attraction, motivation and retention objectives, while aligning executives’ interests with the goal of creating long-term sustainable stockholder value. The table below illustrates a number of key elements that are reflected in our current philosophy.

We focus primarily on a peer group of media-related companies to provide relevant market context for assessing our compensation program, along with analyzing relevant market compensation surveys to supplement the peer data

üGiven that the Company is a REIT,real estate investment trust (“REIT”), we also compare our compensation practices to REIT industry practices to provide additional context when reviewing our compensation program

Mix of Pay

ü

The majority of executive compensation should be “at risk” and subject to financialperformance metrics (see charts below for more detail)

, which unifies management towards common Company performance goals

In addition, the Committee was guided by the following principles with respect to 2015 compensation decisions:

üGenerally maintain constant levels of target cash compensation, using market data as a reference point to understand the general market

üIncrease use of equity to encourage long-term focus on stockholder value

üGenerally maintain current compensation structure with minimal modifications that reflect REIT and publicly-traded company status

Compensation Mix


To help ensure that management’s interests are aligned with those of stockholders and their compensation reflects the performance of the Company, a substantial portion of our NEOs’ compensation is at risk, and will vary above or below target levels commensurate with Company performance. The chart below shows the percentage of our NEOs’ 20152020 target compensation that was performance-based and at risk.

Resulting Changes to our Compensation Programs

Over the course of 2015, the Committee made a number of changes to enhance the alignment of our practices with the Company’s business strategies, and to better align with market practices.


a2020cdapaymix_1280x7201.jpg

Type of Change

Summary of Change

Rationale for Change

Adopted a Compensation Peer Group

ü     Formally adopted the use of a compensation peer group comprising 15 similarly-sized publicly-traded media companies

ü     Incorporate credible data sources on executive pay levels and practices

ü      Reviewed pay practices at similarly-sized REITs

ü      Use the REIT industry practices as a secondary reference point for the general market with respect to executive pay practices, and not as a peer group

Adopted formal stock ownership guidelines for all executive officers

ü      Executive officers are now required to own stock equal to a multiple of their base salary

ü      Better align the interests of our executive team with those of our stockholders

ü      Demonstrate confidence in the long-term performance of the Company

Adopted new performance metric under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan and the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP

ü     Replaced the free cash flow metric with AFFO

ü     Incorporate an incentive metric that is used by management and is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, and is widely used by REITs

ü     AFFO is a key metric used by our stockholders in analyzing our operating performance, and a key driver of stockholder value creation

Adopted change in control provisions in the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and related equity awards terms and conditions and adopted the CIC Plan

ü  The Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP (which was approved by our stockholders in 2015) and related equity award terms and conditions now include accelerated equity vesting upon change in control provisions for the benefit of all plan participants, with “double triggers”

ü      Implemented the CIC Plan, effective January 1, 2016, providing non-equity severance benefits for our executive officers upon a change in control, with a “double-trigger”

ü  Help retain our executive officers and key employees, and provide financial security to our executive officers and key employees in the event of a termination upon a change in control

ü      Foster objectivity and cooperation should executive officers be asked to evaluate change in control proposals that may result in the loss of their employment, but may be in the best interests of our stockholders

*    Average includes the following NEOs: Messrs. Siegel, Sriubas, Punter and Sauer. These charts represent the target compensation, not actual payouts or pro-rated increases to any NEO’s base salary or annual target bonus opportunity. See “— Employment Agreements” for more information.

2020 Say-on-Pay and Frequency of Say-on-Pay Outcome


We held a non-binding advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our NEOs, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, at our 20152020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 20152020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 88%98% of the votes cast were cast in favor of the “say-on-pay” proposal. The Committee considered the result of this advisory vote to be an endorsement of our executive compensation program, policies, practices and philosophy.philosophy, and did not make any compensation changes for our NEOs specifically as a result of the say-on-pay voting results. The Committee will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future executive compensation decisions for our NEOs.



a2020sayonpay1.jpg

In light of the 2015 voting results with respect to the frequency of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, the Board has determined that the Company will hold future non-binding advisory votes of stockholders to approve the compensation of the NEOs every year until the next non-binding advisory vote of stockholders on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, in 2021,which will occur at the Annual Meeting, or until the Board otherwise determines a different frequency for such non-binding advisory votes.

See the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — Non-Binding On-Binding Advisory Vote on The Frequency of Stockholder Votes to Approve the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers” for additional information.

The Committee engaged ClearBridge to advise the Committee regarding the amount and types of compensation that we provide to our executive officers and directors and how our compensation practices compared to the compensation practices of peer companies. See “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Board Committees—Compensation Committee” for further information regarding our engagement of ClearBridge.


In making its compensation determinations for fiscal year 2015,2020, the Committee relied on publicly available information for a select group of U.S.-based publicly-traded media peer companies as the primary data source. The peer group was selected by the Committee, based on recommendations provided by ClearBridge. The Committee expects to reviewreviews and approveapproves the compensation peer group annually. The compensation peer group was determined based on the following criteria:


üBusiness Criteria:
Operations and ScaleWe seek U.S.-based publicly-traded media companies in the media industry with a meaningful portion of revenue from advertising sales

üSize Criteria: Companiesas our primary data source. The selected peer companies are comparable to the Company’s revenue size (for example, companies with revenue of $500 millionapproximately $1 billion to $3.5 billion), with a secondary focus on market capitalizationcapitalization.
Business CharacteristicsDemographicsU.S.-based publicly-traded media companies, similar in terms of business complexity who serve as potential sources of executive talent.
Business CriteriaCompanies with a similar business model to ours and have a meaningful portion of revenue from advertising sales as determined by an evaluation of such companies’ public disclosures.
Peers of PeersCompanies who are listed as a peer of the Company’s current peers as disclosed in such peers’ proxy statement.

For 2020, the Committee reviewed and approved the compensation peer group in October 2019 and determined at that time that no changes should be made. This determination was made prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related impacts on these selection criteria, the comparisonrevenue and market capitalization of the Company and the peer group comprisescompanies. Therefore, the Company’s compensation peer group for 2020 comprised of the following 1513 companies:

The Company strives to maintain a reasonable competitive positioning relative to the peer group and secondary compensation sources, such as published survey data. Although the Company does not solely use benchmarking to evaluate its executionexecutive compensation, it does use market data as an initial reference point to understand the general market. Analyzed data is scoped to the Company’s revenue size and aged to a common date to ensure comparability. In 2015,2020, the Committee reviewed data from the Willis Towers Watson Executive General Industry Survey and the Willis Towers Watson Executive Media Industry Survey. No one company in these surveys was dispositiverelied upon with respect to determining any of the Company’s compensation decisions. Because the Company is structured as a REIT, the Committee also considered pay practices among the following specialty REITs of comparable size to that of the Company based on revenue and market capitalization, similar to the Companysize criteria used for the media peer group described above. One modification that was made to the REIT comparison group for 2020, which was the removal of CBL & Associates due to their company value, and the addition of CyrusOne Inc. as a supplemental reference point: Crown Castle International Corp.,replacement. The REIT comparison group for 2020 included the following specialty REITs: The GEO Group, Inc., Corrections Corp. of America,CoreCivic, Inc, Digital Realty Trust Plum Creek Timber Co.Inc., Extra Space Storage Inc. and CBL & Associates Properties.

Elements of 20152020 NEO Compensation


Consistent with 2014,2019, NEO compensation included the following compensation elements:

üBase salary

üPerformance-based compensation:

¡Executive cash bonus plan

¡Long-term equity incentive compensation

üRetirement plans

üOther compensation (personal benefits)


üBase salary

üPerformance-based compensation:

Executive cash bonus plan

Long-term equity incentive compensation

üRetirement plans

üOther compensation (personal benefits)

The Committee considered each of the above elements from the perspective of design and pay level as it reviewed and established NEO compensation in 2015.2020. Neither the Company nor the Committee used explicit guidelines in determining the mix of compensation elements for the NEOs. However, as described above, the Committee managed the pay programs so that a majority of compensation was both at risk and subject to performance conditions.


During 2015,2020, we were a party to employment agreements with all of our NEOs. For a description of the terms and provisions of these employment agreements, see “—Employment Agreements.”

Base Salary


We annually review the base salaries of our NEOs in light of performance factors (Company and individual) and market compensation practices. The Committee reviews compensation analysis and data provided by our compensation consultant, ClearBridge.

Messrs. Male, Shassian and Sauer entered into employment agreements with


On May 5, 2020, each NEO agreed to a temporary reduction in base salary by 20% (or by 50%, in the Companycase of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer). The reductions were in late 2013 and early 2014. Messrs. Sriubas andeffect from May 12, 2020 through September 9, 2020, after which time the reduced base salaries reverted back to the base salaries in effect prior to May 12, 2020. With the exception of Mr. Punter, entered into employment agreements with the Company in July 2014 and October 2014, respectively.

The base salaries provided to Messrs. Male, Shassian, Sriubas and Punterthe NEOs were not increased in 2015. As required by2020 because the renewal provisions ofCommittee determined that their respective current base salaries were within the competitive market range. In February 2020, the Committee determined that Mr. Sauer’s employment agreement, hisPunter’s base salary increased from $450,000should be adjusted to $475,000remain in competitive market range.

Performance-Based Compensation—Executive Cash Bonus Plan


Overview


Ultimately, the goal of the plan is to reward behaviors that create value for our stockholders. More specifically, the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan (the “Executive Bonus Plan”) is designed to motivate NEOs to:

üGrow top line revenue

üManage and control costs

üAchieve rigorous individual goals that are linked to our strategic plan


üGrow top line revenue

üManage and control costs

üAchieve rigorous individual goals that are linked to our strategic plan

These behaviors are measured through financial metrics, and, to a lesser extent, qualitative metrics as illustrated in the table below.

The Company continues to use Adjusted OIBDA as a metric because it remains an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance of our businesses, as it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. In 2015, the Committee approvedThe Company uses AFFO as the second metric (replacing free cash flow) because, like Adjusted OIBDA, management uses AFFO in managing the business and it is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. We believe the Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO metrics provide a more meaningful comparison of our Company’s operating performance to other companies in our industry as well as to REITs.

Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO were selected and approved by the Committee as metrics for the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan. TheseAs a media company that is also a REIT, these metrics are seen as critical to both our short-term performance and our long-term strategic plan, and are the most prominent two metrics tracked by our management and the investment community.

How the Plan Works


The Committee has a process in place for setting goals and evaluating performance under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan.Plan that includes both quantitative financial performance targets for the Company and qualitative individual performance goals and objectives for the NEOs. Based on the advice of our compensation consultant, the Committee chose to set the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan financial thresholds, targets and maximums for fiscal year 20152020 using analyst consensusbudgeted earnings estimates, which consider macroeconomic factors, analyst estimates and projected out-of-home advertising industry growth, as well as the Company’s financial and operational performance.

For purposes In order for the quantitative financial component of Section 162(m),the bonuses to be funded under the Executive Bonus Plan, the Company must achieve an 80% or greater level of the weighted average achievement of a combination of the percentage of target Adjusted OIBDA achieved for calendar year 2020 and the percentage of target AFFO achieved for calendar year 2020, in each case, as adjusted in accordance with the Executive Bonus Plan, with such weighted average achievement calculated by allocating a 75% weighting to target Adjusted OIBDA and a 25% weighting to target AFFO (the “Minimum Funding Threshold”). If the Minimum Funding Threshold is achieved, the Committee usescompares the weighted average achievement of both financial metrics to a two-step approach to determine the amount of bonuses paid to NEOs. The first step is to fund the overallpre-defined bonus pool, which occurs if the Company achieves pre-determined performance thresholds. The second step is forpayout scale approved by the Committee in early 2020, with threshold, target and maximum goals, as set forth below. The Committee applies an increased payout of 25% for every 2.5% weighted average achievement above target, and a decreased payout of 12.5% for every 5% weighted average achievement below target. If the performance achievement results in a percentage between two performance levels on the scale, the bonus payout is interpolated. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer then reviews the qualitative individual performance of the NEOs relative to the Company’s performance and pre-established strategic goals and objectives, and provides his assessment to the Committee, while the Committee does their own assessment of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance. The Committee then determines achievement within the parameters of the pre-defined payout of 0% to 200%. The Committee determines the actual final bonus payments using the following percentages: 67% of the bonus payment is based on the quantitative financial component and 33% of the bonus payment is based on an evaluation of the qualitative individual performance of the NEOs, each as described above and below. The Committee may exercise negative discretion to reflect Company and individual performance.adjust any of the bonus payments, subject to any limitations set forth in the Executive Bonus Plan. This process is depicted in the flow-chartflowchart below.

The chart below summarizes the Committee’s review of 2020 performance and the resulting Executive Bonus Plan payouts.
Financial Component Funding
Threshold Financial Performance Not AchievedIn 2020, the Minimum Funding Threshold goal was not achieved. Actual Adjusted OIBDA for cash bonus plan purposes was $271.5 million and actual AFFO was $96.3 million, each of which were less than 80% of the corresponding threshold amounts of $451.2 million and $292.8 million, respectively.
NEO Performance
In early 2021, Mr. Male reviewed and assessed the performance of each NEO relative to the Company’s performance objectives outlined below, as adjusted for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its business goals and strategies in 2020. Mr. Male then discussed his assessment of each NEO’s performance with the Committee. The Committee also formally assessed Mr. Male’s performance against his pre-established individual objectives, as adjusted for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its business goals and strategies in 2020 as part of this process. The Committee then met in executive session to consider Mr. Male’s recommendations and to make final payout determinations for the NEOs. The NEO and Company performance objectives in 2020, as adjusted for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, were as follows:
üImplement cost savings measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, among other things, lease abatements, amendments to transit franchise agreements, reductions in certain capital expenditures and workforce reductions
üExecute on platform deployment of digital equipment in connection with the Company’s transit franchise agreement with the MTA despite temporarily suspending deployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic
üContinue conversions of static billboard to digital displays, and deploy new digital displays in key media markets despite reductions in growth capital expenditures for conversions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
üEnhance technology of our business, assets and products, including shifting to a secure remote workforce for most personnel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
üContinue to invest in our personnel and corporate culture and made progress on our ESG initiatives, including our diversity and inclusion program, particularly in light of the social changes of 2020
üImplement health and safety protocols for in-office and operations employees in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
üRenew 7 labor union agreements
üEnhance the Company’s liquidity position through equity and debt transactions, which includes, among other things, the issuance of $400.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of new senior notes during the COVID-19 pandemic
Overall Funding
As noted previously, 67% of the NEOs’ annual cash bonus payout is based on the weighted average achievement of target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO, 75% and 25%, respectively. The table below depicts the (1) threshold, target and maximum performance goals used to determine bonus pool funding, (2) actual performance achievement for 2020 for these goals, and (3) the resulting weighted average performance achievement for 2020 for financial performance.
2020 Performance GoalWeightingActualThresholdTargetMaximumAchievement
Adjusted OIBDA*75%$271.5$451.2$564.0$620.448.1% x 75% = 36.1%
AFFO*25%$96.3$292.8$366.0$402.626.3% x 25% = 6.6%
2020 Weighted Average Financial Achievement (67%)42.7% of target = 0% of funding
2020 Individual Performance Funding (33%)170.0%
2020 Final Funding56.0% of target
* Dollars in millions.
For 2020, the financial weighted average achievement of target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO was 42.7%, which resulted in zero funding of the financial performance component of the bonus pool for our NEO’s. The Committee applied the weighted average achievement of both metrics against the pre-defined bonus payout scale approved by the Committee in early 2020, as described above. Since the financial weighted average achievement for 2020 was at 42.7%, the financial portion of the bonus payout was funded at 0%, which represents 67% of the total bonus funding pool.
After reviewing Mr. Male’s recommendations, the Committee determined that for the 33% individual performance component of each NEO’s annual bonus, the funding would be set at a funding level of 170% (which is below the maximum individual performance component funding level of 200% permitted under the Committee’s pre-defined payout range), reflecting the significant contributions that the NEOs had made to the Company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee believes that the NEOs equally collaborate on the Company’s performance objectives, and as their respective individual performances are tied to the Company’s financial performance, all NEOs received the same bonus funding of 56%.

Performance-Based Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

The Company provides long-term equity incentive compensation to the NEOs that is intended to:

üBalance stockholder alignment, line-of-sight to critical financial metrics and long-term retention

üReflect typical market practice of our peer group

üAlign with our stated pay-for-performance compensation philosophy

The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation is comprised of two separate components:

•  Management develops budgeted AFFO and Adjusted OIBDA performance goals

For purposes of calculating Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO actual, threshold, target and maximum performance amounts, the Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO metrics, which are defined and described in the section entitled “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—2015 Company Performance Highlights,” were further adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which was approximately $5.0 million for 2015.

The financial weighted average achievement of Adjusted OIBDA and AFFO is 96%, which resulted in funding a bonus pool of 89%. This bonus outcome reflects the interpolated result from applying the weighted average achievement of both metrics against our pre-defined bonus payout scales.

Actual Individual Performance Results

Mr. Male reviewed and assessed the performance of each other NEO relative to the Company performance objectives outlined below, which were established earlier in the calendar year. Mr. Male then discussed his assessment of each NEO’s performance with the Committee. The Committee also formally assessed Mr. Male’s performance against his pre-established individual objectives as part of this process. The Committee then met in executive session to consider Mr. Male’s recommendations and to make final payout determinations.

The Company performance objectives in 2015 were as follows:

ü     Strategic acquisitions

ü    The successful execution of the divestiture of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America

ü    Static billboard to digital conversions

ü     Technology enhancements of our business, assets and products

ü    Certain personnel priorities, including the integration related to our acquisition of certain outdoor advertising businesses of Van Wagner Communications, LLC, the reorganization of our salesforce, and the re-alignment of sales regions

After reviewing Mr. Male’s recommendations, the Committee determined that, for the 33% portion of each NEO’s annual bonus that is based on individual performance, the funding would be set at the same funding level as the financial performance component of 89%.

On February 18, 2015,20, 2020, the Company made a grant of PRSUs to its NEOs. Grants of PRSUs follow the same process as that of awards under the Executive Bonus Plan in that the grants of PRSUs are at-risk and subject to the Minimum Funding Threshold. If the Minimum Funding Threshold is achieved, the Committee compares the weighted average achievement of both financial metrics to the performance and payout schedule approved by the Committee in early 2020, with threshold, target and maximum goals, as set forth below. The Committee applies an increased payout of 10% for every 5% weighted average achievement above target, and a decreased payout of 10% for every 5% weighted average achievement below target. If the performance achievement results in a percentage between two performance levels on the scale, the grant payout is interpolated. The Committee may exercise discretion to adjust any of the grants of PRSUs, subject to any limitations set forth in the Omnibus SIP.

In evaluating the potential performance and payout levels of long-term equity incentive compensation PRSU awards relative to short-term cash-based incentives that may be earned under the Executive Bonus Plan, though both incentives are subject to pre-establishedsimilar financial metrics, PRSU awards utilize an interpolation scale with higher threshold and lower maximum payout levels, making it more difficult to achieve PRSU award payout levels at the top of AFFO and Adjusted OBIDA that were approved by the Committee. The PRSUs are fully at risk, in that they are not earnedscale unless the Company achieves performance of at least 80% relative to both metrics. The table below illustrates the pay and performance schedule applicable to the 2015 grant of PRSUs.

üMarket data and consultation provided by ClearBridge

üExisting contractual obligations through employment agreements

üPotential levels of dilution

üInternal equity amongst the NEO group

üThe desire to shift to place more emphasis on long-term incentives from a pay mix perspective

See “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment Agreements.” In addition, based on the factors considered by the Committee, as described above, the Committee, in its discretion, increased Messrs.

In February 2016,2021, the Committee determined the requisite threshold level of AFFO and Adjusted OIBDA performance was not attained (as described above for the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2015)2020) and, accordingly, the number of PRSUs actually earned based on ourthe Company’s performance relative to the performance goals established by the Committee for the 20152020 calendar year.

year, which was zero. The number of shares earned upon vesting of the PRSUs is determined in accordance with the performance and payout schedule described in the table above. For 2015,2020, we achieved 96%42.7% of the target weighted average achievement of a combination of target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO, which resulted in final PRSUs eligible to vest in 2015 at 91%0% of target PRSUs. This outcome reflects the interpolated result from applying the weighted average achievementPRSUs and forfeiture of both metrics against our pre-defined equity payout scales.all PRSUs granted in 2020.

The use of a one-year performance period for PRSU awards reflects the continually changing media landscape in which we operate. The digitization of our business and the increasing importance of transit contracts make it increasingly difficult to set financial performance goals in excess of one year. This has become evident when considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Establishing rigorous financial targets each year enables the team to focus on delivering results aligned to the needs of the Company with the flexibility to alter direction on an annual basis. Although the 2020 PRSUs were forfeited based on the Company’s financial results, we will retain a one-year performance period for PRSU awards. These awards time vest over a three-year period, and are subject to forfeiture as described below. Accordingly, we believe that a one-year performance period is the right time frame over which to evaluate certification of PRSU awards.

The TRSUs and theany PRSUs actually earned PRSUs generally vest in substantially equal installments on eachover a three-year vesting period from the date of February 19, 2016, 2017, and 2018grant subject to each NEO’s respective continued employment through the applicable vesting date and the terms of his
36


employment agreement and/or equity award. If we pay regular cash dividends with respect to our common stock, the holders of TRSUs and any PRSUs actually earned will be eligible for dividend equivalent payments in shares of our common stock when and to the extent that the related TRSUs or PRSUs vest and are settled.

In 2015, the Board also granted TRSUs pursuant to the Company’s Fund-the-Future program (the “Fund-the-Future program”) to a broad group of our employees, including our NEOs. The primary purpose of the Fund-the-Future program was to provide additional income to employees who do not otherwise receive targeted long-term equity incentive compensation for Company performance. For 2015, the Board decided to award a number of TRSUs to all participants in the program based on the employee’s annual base pay (capped at $500,000) or benefit base pay, on February 19, 2015 (the date of grant), multiplied by 2.5% and then divided by our common stock price of $29.83 on the date of grant.

Pursuant to the Fund-the-Future program, the Board granted the following NEO’s TRSUs:

These Fund-the-Future TRSUs generally vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of February 19, 2015, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity award. If we pay regular cash dividends on our common stock, the holders of these TRSUs will be eligible for cash dividend equivalents payments at the time and to the extent that the related TRSUs vest and are settled.


Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans


The Company maintains a broad-based tax-qualified defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Excess 401(k) Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2014. During 2015,2020, we provided participating NEOs with matching contributions in the 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan as we believe this benefit is reasonable and market-competitive.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a cost saving measure, the Company temporarily paused its matching contributions for both the 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan from April 2020 through December 2020.


Information regarding the participation by our NEOs in the Excess 401(k) Plan is set forth in the 20152020 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and the narratives following this table. The Excess 401(k) Plan provides our senior executives with the opportunity to save for retirement beyond the qualified plan limitations.

Other Compensation (Other Personal Benefits)

Pursuant to Messrs. Male and Punter’s employment agreements, they were each eligible to receive certain contractual housing and travel benefits during the first year of their respective agreements. The Company paid suitable housing expenses for Mr. Male and his family for a period of twelve months following the effective date of the employment agreement, and trips to visit family in the United Kingdom during the same period of time. The Committee approved for Mr. Male’s housing costs and trip costs to be continued through December 31, 2015. The Company paid reasonable and customary expenses associated with Mr. Punter’s planned relocation to the New York metropolitan area, including one trip to New York, suitable housing for him and his family for a period of twelve months following the effective date of the employment agreement, and up to $40,000 annually of reimbursable travel expenses to and from the United Kingdom to visit family. The Committee approved for Mr. Punter’s housing costs to be continued from the one-year anniversary of his date of hire through December 31, 2015. To the extent any of these payments made to Messrs. Male and Punter are taxable, the Company will make an additional payment to them in an amount that, after payment of all taxes payable by them with respect to the additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by them with respect to the related reimbursement. Other than as described above for Messrs. Male and Punter, our NEOs do not receive any other perquisites or personal benefits. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment Agreements” and “—2015 Summary Compensation Table.”


Stock Ownership Guidelines


To better align the interests of our executive team with those of our stockholders, we formallyhave adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers in October 2015.officers. Ownership in the Company is evidence of the confidence our executives have in the Company’s long-term performance.

üChief Executive Officer: 5x base salary

üChief Financial Officer: 3x base salary

üOther executive officers: 2x base salary


üChief Executive Officer: 5x base salary

üChief Financial Officer: 3x base salary

üOther executive officers: 2x base salary

Shares considered “owned” for purposes of complying with the stock ownership guidelines are:

üShares of stock owned individually or jointly, or in trusts owned by the executive

üTRSUs

üPRSUs once performance level and number of PRSUs earned have been determined


üShares of stock owned individually or jointly, or in trusts owned by the executive

üTRSUs

üPRSUs once performance level and number of PRSUs earned have been determined

Each executive officer has five years from the time he becomes subject to the ownership guidelines to meet the guideline. Once the executive’s qualified holdings reach the guideline, the executive will be deemed to have met the guideline going forward. The executive will need to maintain a level of ownership in either the number of

shares held when the guideline was met (to mitigate the need to increase the number of shares owned when there is a reduction in the share price) or the current dollar guideline (to have the ability to reduce the number of shares when the share price increases). Management will present a progress report annually to the Committee regarding ownership levels.


As of or prior to December 31, 2015, Messrs. Male and Shassian had2020, all of the NEOs have met their respective ownership guidelines. The other NEOs are expectedguidelines, except for Mr. Siegel, who joined the Company in 2018 and has until 2023 to meet his ownership guideline. “—Elements of 2020 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.”

Clawback Policy

In 2017, the stock ownership guidelinesBoard voluntarily adopted a recoupment or “clawback” policy. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws to correct a material error, and the Board determines that an officer (as defined under SEC Rule 16a-1(f)) has willfully committed an act of fraud or dishonesty in 2016.

the performance of his or her duties that contributed to the material noncompliance that resulted in the Company’s obligation to prepare the accounting restatement, then the Board will direct the Company to recoup from the culpable officer all excess incentive compensation received during the reporting period or periods impacted by the accounting restatement.


Compensation Deductibility Policy


Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits to $1 million the federal tax deductibility of compensation paid in one year to the Chief Executive Officerour “covered employees,” which includes our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Financial Officer) employed by us at the end of the year. Compensation(as well as any other person who was a covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016). Historically, compensation that satisfiessatisfied the Code’s requirements for “performance-based compensation” iswas not subject to this deduction limitation. This performance-based exception was repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, except for certain compensation arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017 for which
37


transition relief is available. Our Committee considers deductibility as just one factor in determining the form and terms of compensation we provide. In certain circumstances, the Committee has granted, and may decidecontinue to grant, compensation that willdoes not qualify as “performance-based” for purposes ofdeductibility under Section 162(m), including when, in the Committee’s judgment, certain compensation is needed to achieve the Committee’s overall compensation objectives.

We reserve the right to award compensation that does not qualify as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m), including under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan and the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP. Moreover, even if the Committee intends to grant compensation that qualifies as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m), we cannot guarantee that such compensation will so qualify or ultimately will be deductible.



Compensation Risk Assessment


In 2015,2020, as part of the Company’s enterprise risk management process, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, Vice President, Internal Audit, Senior Vice President, Controller, Vice President, Assistant General CounselCorporate Secretary and the Senior Director of Compensation evaluated our compensation programs for potential areas of risk. During this initial risk assessment, we reviewed our compensation and benefit programs to identify potential risks and risk mitigation factors. On the basis of this initial assessment, management concluded that the Company’s compensation programs are structured in a way that does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Committee reviewed the results of this assessment at the end of 20152020 and agreed with management’s conclusion.

2015

*As more fully described in footnote (2) below, the total amounts presented for 2020 include the target grant date value of PRSUs granted in 2020, as required by the SEC rules; however, these grants were forfeited by the NEOs in February 2021 because the Company did not meet its threshold financial performance goals. After giving effect to the forfeiture of the PRSUs in 2020, the total amounts for 2020 for Messrs. Male, Siegel, Sriubas, Punter and Sauer are $3,441,500, $1,561,320, $1,773,524, $1,394,075 and $1,070,862, respectively. These total amounts are not a substitute for the total amounts reported in the total column required by the SEC rules.

(1)Salary and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for 2020 include amounts deferred under qualified and nonqualified arrangements. Salary for 2020 reflects the 20% temporary reduction in NEO base salary (50% for Mr. Male, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) described above and the fact that the Company had one additional pay period during 2020 (a 27th pay period) due to the timing of the bi-weekly payroll calendar.
(2)For stock awards made in 2020, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair values of grants under the Omnibus SIP, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. For the PRSUs granted in 2020 to Messrs. Male, Siegel, Sriubas, Punter and Sauer (representing $2,099,993, $899,971, $1,199,992, $689,971 and $449,985, respectively, of the aggregate grant date values included in column (e)), the maximum grant date value, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, would be $2,519,991, $1,079,965, $1,439,990, $827,966 and $539,982, respectively. The assumptions upon which these amounts are based are set forth in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In February 2021, the Committee determined the requisite threshold level of AFFO and Adjusted OIBDA performance was not attained, which resulted in final PRSUs eligible to vest at 0% of target PRSUs and forfeiture of all PRSUs granted in 2020. See “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2020 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.”
(3)Amounts represent the annual bonus earned for 2020 under the Executive Bonus Plan, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial performance and final payouts.

Amounts shown in these columns represent the annual bonus opportunity under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2015 for each participating NEO. In order for bonuses to be funded under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan for 2015, we needed to achieve at least 80% of the weighted average achievement of a combination of the percentage of Adjusted OIBDA achieved against the 2015 target Adjusted OIBDA and the percentage of AFFO actually achieved against the 2015 targeted AFFO with such weighted average achievement calculated by allocating a 75% weighting to the Adjusted OIBDA and a 25% weighting to AFFO (the “minimum funding goal”). If the minimum funding goal was achieved, awards under the Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan would fund at eight times each participating NEO’s base salary (the “Award Limitation”). The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 80% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2015, weighted

67% and (b) achievement of the qualitative rating at 50%, weighted 33%. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 100% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2015, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the qualitative rating at 100%, weighted 33%. The amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represents the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 120% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO for 2015, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the qualitative rating at 200%, weighted 33%, subject to the Award Limitation. The actual bonus earned for 2015 was determined by the Committee in early 2016, as described above under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis— Elements of 2015 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation-Executive Cash Bonus Plan,” and is set forth in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table for all NEOs.

(3)Amounts shown in these columns represent the PRSU portion of the 2015 long-term incentive award granted to each participating NEO under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP. For 2015, no PRSUs were eligible to vest unless at least 80% of the weighted average target OIBDA (weighted 75%) and target AFFO (weighted 25%) metric was achieved (the “2015 Performance Goal”). The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 60% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at 80% achievement of the 2015 Performance Goal. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words 100% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at 100% achievement of the 2015 Performance Goal. The amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 120% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at achievement equal to or greater than 110% of the 2015 Performance Goal. To the extent earned, the PRSUs generally vest in equal installments on each of February 19, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to the NEO’s continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity awards. See “—Employment Agreements” and “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The actual number of PRSUs earned and eligible to vest for 2015 was determined by the Committee in early 2015, as described under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis— Elements of 2015 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation-Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.”

(4)Amounts reflect the fair value on the date of grant, and, for awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date of the awards reported in the table, in all cases, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

(5)Represents the Company’s 2015 Fund-the-Future program grants, described below and above under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2015 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation-Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.” These TRSUs were granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and generally vest in equal installments on February 19, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to the NEO’s continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity awards. See “—Employment Agreements” and “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

(6)Represents the TRSU portion of the 2015 long-term equity incentive award granted to each participating NEO under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP, described under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis— Elements of 2015 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation-Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.” The TRSUs were granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and generally vest in equal installments on each of February 19, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to the NEOs continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity award.

(2)Amounts shown in these columns represent the annual bonus opportunity under the Executive Bonus Plan for 2020 for each participating NEO. The actual bonus earned for 2020 was determined by the Committee in early 2021, as described above under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2020 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation—Executive Cash Bonus Plan,” and is set forth in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2020 Summary Compensation Table for all NEOs. The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of the Minimum Funding Threshold, weighted 67%, and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 50%, weighted 33%. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 100% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2020, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 100%, weighted 33%. The amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represents the amount that the NEO could earn based on (a) achievement of 110% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO for 2020, weighted 67% and (b) achievement of the individual performance component at 200%, weighted 33%.
(3)Amounts shown in these columns represent the PRSU portion of the 2020 long-term incentive award granted to each participating NEO under the Omnibus SIP. The actual number of PRSUs earned and eligible to vest for 2020 was determined by the Committee in early 2021, as described under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2020 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.” The amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 60% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at achievement of the Minimum Funding Threshold. The amounts shown in the “Target” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words 100% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at 100% achievement of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2020. The amounts shown in the “Maximum” column represent the number of PRSUs (in other words, 120% of the target award) that would become eligible to vest at achievement equal to or greater than 110% of the weighted average target Adjusted OIBDA and target AFFO metric for 2020. To the extent earned, the PRSUs generally vest in equal installments on each of February 20, 2021, 2021 and 2023, subject to the NEO’s continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity awards. In February 2021, the Committee determined the requisite threshold level of AFFO and Adjusted OIBDA performance was not attained, which resulted in final PRSUs eligible to vest at 0% of target PRSUs and forfeiture of all PRSUs granted in 2020.
(4)Amounts reflect the fair value on the date of grant, and, for awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date of the awards reported in the table, in all cases, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.
(5)Represents the TRSU portion of the 2020 long-term equity incentive award granted to each participating NEO under the Omnibus SIP, described under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2020 NEO Compensation—Performance-Based Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation.” The TRSUs were granted under the Omnibus SIP and generally vest in equal installments on each of February 20, 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to the NEO’s continued service on each applicable vesting date and the terms of his employment agreement and/or equity awards.

Description of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation


Set forth below is information with respect to eachthe plan under which deferralsdeferral of compensation areis reflected in the table above.


Outfront Media Excess 401(k) Plan


The Outfront Media Excess 401(k) Plan (the “Excess 401(k) Plan”) is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan intended to provide benefits to employees who are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan and whose annual base salaryeligible compensation exceeds the federal annual limit. A participant can defer between 1% and 15% of his or her eligible compensation through payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis. Eligible compensation generally includes base pay or salary, including pre-tax contributions to the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Company’s group health and welfare plans, flexible spending accounts and contributions to the commuter reimbursement account plan, plus overtime, bonus, commissions, hazard pay and shift differential pay. For 2015,2020, the Company matched Excess 401(k) Plan contributions based on the rate of matching contributions under the Company’s 401(k) Plan (70% of the first 5% of eligible compensation deferred on a pre-tax basis). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a cost-saving measure, the Company paused its matching contributions for both the 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan from April 2020 through December 2020. Company matching contributions are fully vested after five years of service. Matching contributions made by the Company to the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan are made with respect to a portion of a participant’s eligible annual compensation up to $750,000.

46



Deferred amounts are reflected in phantom notional accounts and are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the deferred amounts were actually invested in accordance with the participant’s investment elections in the Excess 401(k) Plan. Company matching contributions are also reflected in phantom notional accounts, which are credited in the same manner. The Company’s 401(k) Plan offers 2022 investment options in which amounts in the Excess 401(k) Plan balances may be notionally invested, and participants generally may change or reallocate investment directions on any business day on which the NYSE is open. The vested portion of a participant’s Excess 401(k) Plan account is distributed in cash after termination of employment in accordance with the participant’s distribution election, either in a lump sum payment or in installment payments.

CBS RSU Award

On September 18, 2013, Mr. Male was granted a fully vested RSU award in respect of 17,602 shares of CBS Class B common stock. This award was not converted into an RSU in respect of our common stock in connection with the IPO. One-half of the RSU award was settled in shares of CBS Class B common stock on September 18, 2014 and the remaining portion of the RSU award was settled in shares of CBS Class B common stock on September 18, 2015.


Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control


During 2015,2020, the NEOs had employment arrangements providing for separation payments upon certain types of termination of employment. The table below sets forth estimated potential payments that would have been made to the applicable NEO if his employment had terminated as of December 31, 2015,2020, except for benefits that are provided pursuant to plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and are available generally to all salaried employees, such as amounts accrued under the Company’s 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay. In addition, in 2015, the Committee approved and adopted an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”), effective January 1, 2016, for the benefit of the Company’s executive officers, including NEOs.

Payments made to an NEO would be made subject to any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Receipt of the payments and benefits shown below upon a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, each as defined below, or termination following a Change“Change in ControlControl” (as defined in each of the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP, the related equity award terms and conditions, and the CIC Plan, as applicable), is conditioned on the NEO’s execution of a release in favor of the Company. In determining the benefits payable upon certain terminations of employment, we assumed in all cases that the NEO has complied and continues to comply with, as applicable, all of the restrictive and other covenants included in his employment agreement and has not become employed by a new employer in those cases where the employment agreement requires mitigation by the NEO.

On


To estimate the payment amounts, the Company used the closing price of our common stock on December 14, 2015,31, 2020, the Committee approvedlast trading day of 2020, which was $19.56.

(1)For each NEO, amounts reflect the continuation of his base salary for a period of twelve months (in this instance, January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016).

(2)Amount reflects the payment of 12 months’ worth of Mr. Male’s target bonus.

(3)For Messrs. Male, Punter, Shassian and Sriubas, the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued health insurance benefits as provided in their employment agreements. For Mr. Sauer, the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued health insurance benefits and life insurance coverage as provided in his employment agreement.

(4)In the event of a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, or for disability, Mr. Male would receive payment of expenses associated with his and his family’s repatriation back to the United Kingdom during the twelve months following his termination, plus an additional payment in an amount that after payment of all taxes payable by him with respect to such additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement.

(5)The calculation of the value associated with the acceleration or continuation (as the case may be) of the vesting of equity grants, (a) in the case of stock awards, was based on the closing price of a share of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2015, which was $21.83, with the inclusion of the PRSUs awarded during 2015 reflecting actual achievement of the applicable performance conditions; and (b) in the case of options, was based on the difference between such closing price and the exercise price of the option. See “—2015 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” for more information about the equity awards included in the above calculation. Following a termination of employment by Mr. Punter voluntarily or without Cause, any outstanding equity awards will continue to vest until February 18, 2019. See “—Termination Without ‘Cause’ by Us or for ‘Good Reason’ by the NEO.” Any outstanding options held by Mr. Male are out of the money as of December 31, 2015 based on the exercise price of $26.39, and therefore have no intrinsic value to include in the table above.

(6)Represents accelerated vesting of equity awards then outstanding upon termination of employment due to death or permanent disability.

(7)Represents accelerated vesting of 2015 equity grants for a Qualifying Separation (as defined below) upon a Change in Control pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus SIP and related equity award terms and conditions. The table does not include potential payments under the CIC Plan upon termination following a Change in Control because the CIC Plan became effective as of January 1, 2016. See “—Termination Following a Change in Control.”

(8)

In the event of a termination due to disability, the NEOs would generally receive the pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the disability occurs and a pro-rated target bonus for the period during which the NEO receives short-term disability benefits under the Company’s short-term disability program. For this purpose, we have assumed that the NEO would receive short-term disability benefits for six months (which is the maximum under the short-term disability plan). However, with respect to a December 31, 2015 termination

due to disability, bonuses for the NEOs for the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 are not included in the pro-rated bonus as these amounts are assumed to have been earned by the NEOs and therefore do not represent enhanced benefits.

(9)In the event of a termination due to death, the NEOs would generally receive a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the NEO’s death occurs. However, with respect to a December 31, 2015 termination due to death, bonuses for the NEOs for the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 are not included in the pro-rated bonus as these amounts are assumed to have been earned by the NEOs and therefore do not represent enhanced benefits.

Control, the amounts shown reflect our cost of providing continued health insurance benefits for three years following the termination date for Mr. Male, and two years following the termination date for each of Messrs. Siegel, Sriubas, Punter and Sauer.

(5)In the event of a termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason,” for disability or following a Change in Control, Mr. Male would receive payment of expenses associated with his and his family’s repatriation back to the United Kingdom during the twelve months following his termination, plus an additional payment in an amount that after payment of all taxes payable by him with respect to such additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by him with respect to the related reimbursement.
(6)The calculation of the value associated with the acceleration or continuation (as the case may be) of the vesting of equity grants was based on the closing price of a share of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2020, which was $19.56, with the inclusion of the PRSUs awarded during 2020 reflecting target achievement of the applicable performance conditions. See “—2020 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” for more information about the equity awards included in the above calculation.
(7)With respect to salary and bonus, represents a lump sum payment of three times the base salary plus three times the annual bonus target for Mr. Male, and represents a lump sum payment of two times the base salary plus two times the annual bonus target for Messrs. Siegel, Sriubas, Punter, and Sauer, in each case for a Qualifying Separation (as defined below) following a Change in Control pursuant to the CIC Plan. With respect to vesting of equity awards, represents accelerated vesting of unvested TRSUs and PRSUs granted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 for Messrs. Male, Siegel, Sriubas, Punter and Sauer for a Qualifying Separation following a Change in Control pursuant to the Omnibus SIP and related equity award terms and conditions.

(8)In the event of a termination due to disability, the NEOs would generally receive the pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which the disability occurs and a pro-rated target bonus for the period during which the NEO receives short-term disability benefits under the Company’s short-term disability program. For this purpose, we have assumed that the NEO would receive short-term disability benefits for six months (which is the maximum under the short-term disability plan), and the amount shown represents six months of NEO’s pro-rated target bonus.

None of the NEO’s employment arrangements provide for (1) post-termination payments and benefits solely in the event of a changeChange in controlControl (that is, there are no “single trigger” benefits) or (2) tax “gross-ups” in the event any payment or benefit owed to him under his respective arrangement is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.


Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination Without Good Reason


Each NEO’s employment arrangement includes a definition of “Cause” (as discussed below) for which the executive’s employment may be terminated. Except as otherwise describedset forth below, eachno NEO will not receive incremental payments and benefits under their respective employment arrangements in the event of a termination by us for “Cause” or a NEO’s voluntary termination without “Good Reason”.

If Mr. Male voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason on or after September 18, 2019 and provides the Company with adequate advance written notice and a general release, Mr. Male is entitled to continued time vesting of equity awards granted after September 18, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance-based conditions applicable to the PRSU awards and, with respect to continued time vesting of awards, proration and non-compete conditions.

Termination Without “Cause” by Us or for “Good Reason” by the NEO


Each NEO will receive termination payments and benefits if we terminate his employment without “Cause,” and each of Messrs. Male and Sriubas will also receive termination payments and benefitsor if he resigns for “Good Reason” pursuant to his employment agreement. In addition, if we terminate Mr. Punter’s employment without “Cause” or Mr. Punter voluntarily terminates his employment, he will continue to time vest in any outstanding unvested RSUs and other equity awards, if any, until February 18, 2019.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CEO Pay Ratio

Ratio of CEO Pay to Median Employee Pay. The annual total compensation of our median employee for 2020 was $70,560. As disclosed in the section entitled “2020 Summary Compensation Table” our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s annual total compensation for 2020 was $5,541,493. Based on this information for 2020, the ratio of the compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to the median annual total compensation of all other employees was reasonably estimated to be 79 to 1.

How We Identified the Median Employee. We have updated the Company’s median employee for the purposes of calculating our CEO pay ratio as of December 31, 2020, giving due consideration to the recent change to our workforce in 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. We identified our median employee by first identifying our total employee population as of December 31, 2020, including our employees located in Canada, and in accordance with the SEC rules, excluded the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We then used total annual gross pay (including base salary, cash bonuses and long-term equity compensation), as reflected in our payroll records from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, which we annualized for any employee who did not work for the entire year, to determine the median employee. For the Company’s employees located in Canada, we applied an exchange rate as of December 31, 2020 to convert Canadian currency into U.S. dollars. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions. As a result, the Company’s pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons


The Company has a written policy regarding the review and approval, ratification or other action to be taken with respect to transactions with related persons. Pursuant to this policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review and approve, ratify or take other actions it deems appropriate with respect to a related person transaction that, under the rules of the SEC, is required to be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement or Annual Report on Form 10-K. In its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee will be provided with the details of a proposed related person transaction, including the terms of the related person transaction, the business purpose of the related person transaction, and the benefits to the Company and to the relevant related persons that are derived from the related person transaction. In determining whether to approve, ratify or take any other action it deems appropriate with respect to the related person transaction, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider, among other factors, the following factors to the extent relevant to the related person transaction: (a) whether the terms of the related person transaction are fair to the Company and on the same basis would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person; (b) whether there are business reasons for the Company to enter into the related person transaction; (c) whether the related person transaction would impair the independence of an outside director; and (d) whether the related person transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of the Company, taking into account several factors. Any member of the Nominating and Governance Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will abstain from voting on any action to be taken with respect to the related person transaction but may, if so requested by the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, participate in some or all of the discussions with respect to the related person transaction.

PROPOSAL NO. 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016,2021, subject to stockholder ratification. Although ratification is not required by the Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of PwC to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.


As part of its engagement process and in order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a rotation of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In determining whether to reappoint the independent auditor, the Audit Committee considers the independent auditor’s qualifications, its independence and the length of time the firm has been engaged, in addition to considering the quality of the work performed by the independent auditor and an assessment of the past performance of both the lead audit partner and PwC. PwC has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since and prior to the IPO. PwC rotates its lead audit engagement partner every five years, at which time, the Audit Committee interviews candidates and selects the lead audit engagement partner. A new lead audit engagement partner has been selected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee believes that there are significant benefits to having an independent registered public accounting firm with an extensive history with the Company, including the operational and cost efficiencies of using a firm with institutional knowledge of the Company’s business, operations, accounting policies, financial systems and internal control framework.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting via webcast and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to respond to questions at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF
THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS


In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to stockholder vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation.” As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and expect to consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.


The text of the resolution with respect to Proposal No. 3 is as follows:


RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”


As more fully discussed in the section entitled “Executive Compensation—CompensationCompensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s compensation programs are designed to motivate and reward business success and to increase stockholder value. The core objectives of these programs are to provide compensation arrangements that are stockholder value focused, market-based, performance-based and flexible. In particular, stockholders should note the following:


A significant portion of our named executive officers’ total compensation is tied to the achievement of the Company’s financial goals and individual accomplishments that contribute to the Company’s success in the short- and long-term.


Long-term equity incentive grants, which constitute a key component of our executive compensation, typically have a multi-year vesting period designed to motivate our named executive officers to make business decisions that, over the long-term, should increase the price of our common stock.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL, ON A NON- BINDING

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF STOCKHOLDER VOTES TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

OFFICERS


In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate matter subject to stockholder vote to determine, on a non-binding advisory basis, whether a non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation,” should occur every one, two or three years. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and expect to consider the outcome of the vote when making a decision on the frequency of voting on compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

The Board determined that a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every “ONE YEAR” is the most appropriate policy for the Company and its stockholders at this time. We believe that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from our stockholders on our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, as well as on corporate governance matters.

Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board. Instead, stockholders may cast a vote on their preference for the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers by choosing any of the following four options with respect to this proposal: every “one year,” “two years” or “three years,” or “abstain” from voting. In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review the information presented in connection with Proposal No. 3 regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “ONE YEAR” WITH RESPECT TO THE DETERMINATION, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, AS TO WHETHER A NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SHOULD OCCUR EVERY ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS.
