our operating cash flow improved 56 percent to
$397 million. We also made progress in strengthening our
balance sheet. We are focused on continuing our progress in 2010.
As we did last year, we are making the proxy materials for this

UNISYS
CORPORATION
PROXY
STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS
April 29,
2010
The Board of Directors of Unisys Corporation solicits your proxy
for use at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
April 29, 2010 and at any adjournments or postponements
thereof. At the annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to
(1) approve amendments to the Companys Bylaws and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable, to
(a) declassify the Board of Directors so that all directors
are elected annually, (b) increase the mandatory retirement
age for directors from age 70 to age 72 and
(c) decrease the minimum and maximum number of directors
that may comprise the Board of Directors; (2) elect two
(or, if the above amendment relating to the mandatory retirement
age is approved, three) directors, (3) ratify the selection
of the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm, (4) approve a new long-term incentive and equity
compensation plan and (5) transact any other business
properly brought before the meeting.
The record date for the annual meeting is March 1, 2010.
Only holders of record of Unisys common stock as of the close of
business on the record date are entitled to vote at the meeting.
On the record date, 42,514,958 shares of common stock were
outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority
of those shares will constitute a quorum at the meeting.
This proxy statement, the proxy/voting instruction card and the
annual report of Unisys, including the financial statements for
2009, are being sent or given to stockholders on or about
March 18, 2010.
Required
Vote
Each share of Unisys common stock outstanding on the record date
is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon.
Amendments to Bylaws and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation. The affirmative vote of not less
than 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to
vote is required to approve each of (1) the proposal to
amend the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws to declassify the Board, (2) the proposal to
amend the Companys Bylaws to increase the mandatory
retirement age of directors, and (3) the proposal to amend
the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws to decrease the minimum and maximum number of directors.
Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or
otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote
Against the proposal.
Election of Directors. Directors will be
elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at the
meeting. This means that a nominee will be elected if the number
of votes cast For that nominee exceeds the number of
votes cast Against that nominee. Any shares not
voted (whether by abstention, broker
non-vote or
otherwise) will not be counted as votes cast and will have no
effect on the vote.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; New Long-Term
Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan. The
proposal to ratify the selection of the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm and the proposal
to approve a new long-term incentive and equity compensation
plan will each be approved if it receives the affirmative vote
of a majority of
1
shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on
the matter. Abstentions will be included in the vote totals for
these matters and therefore will have the same effect as a
negative vote; broker non-votes will not be included in the vote
totals and therefore will have no effect on the vote.
Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials
Pursuant to the notice and access rules adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC),
the Company has elected to provide stockholders access to its
proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, the Company sent
a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the
Notice) to most stockholders (other than those who
previously requested electronic or paper delivery of proxy
materials). The Notice includes instructions on how to access
the proxy materials over the Internet and how to request a
printed copy of these materials. In addition, by following the
instructions in the Notice, stockholders may request to receive
proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by
email on an ongoing basis.
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will
save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to
you and will reduce the impact of the Companys annual
meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future
proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year
with instructions containing a link to those materials and a
link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy
materials by email will remain in effect until you
terminate it.
Voting Procedures
and Revocability of Proxies
Your vote is important. Shares may be voted at the annual
meeting only if you are present in person or represented by
proxy. You can vote by proxy over the Internet by following the
instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you request printed
copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by
submitting a proxy by mail or by telephone by following the
instructions provided on the proxy/voting instruction card. If
you have previously elected to receive proxy materials over the
Internet, you should have already received
e-mail
instructions on how to vote electronically.
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by
writing to the Corporate Secretary of Unisys, by timely delivery
of a properly executed later-dated proxy (including an Internet
or telephone vote) or by voting in person at the meeting.
The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to
vote at the meeting if you later decide to attend in person. If
your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other
holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your
favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the
meeting.
If you properly complete and return your proxy, and do not
revoke it, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance
with your instructions. If your properly completed proxy gives
no instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares FOR
each proposal to amend the Companys Restated Certificate
of Incorporation
and/or
Bylaws to effect the changes regarding the Board of Directors
described in this proxy statement, FOR the election of
directors, FOR the selection of independent registered public
accountants, FOR the approval of the Unisys Corporation 2010
Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan and in their
discretion on any other matters that properly come before the
annual meeting.
If you are a participant in the Unisys Savings Plan, the
proxy/voting instruction card will serve as voting instructions
to the plan trustee for shares of Unisys common stock credited
to your account as of March 1, 2010. The trustee will vote
those shares in accordance with your instructions if it
2
receives your completed proxy by April 27, 2010. If the
proxy is not timely received, or if you give no instructions on
a matter to be voted upon, the trustee will vote the shares
credited to your account in the same proportion as it votes
those shares for which it received timely instructions from
other participants.
AMENDMENTS TO
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND/OR BYLAWS
(Items 1, 2 and 3)
The Companys Board of Directors has adopted, declared
advisable and is submitting for stockholder approval amendments
to the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation
and/or
Bylaws to (a) declassify the Board of Directors so that all
directors are elected annually, (b) increase the mandatory
retirement age for directors from age 70 to age 72 and
(c) decrease the minimum and maximum number of directors
that may comprise the Board. Pursuant to the Companys
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the adoption of each of
these amendments requires the approval of 80% of the outstanding
shares of common stock entitled to vote.
Declassification
of Board and Annual Election of Directors
(Item 1)
Article VI, Section 2 of the Companys Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Article II, Section 2
of the Companys Bylaws each currently provides that the
Companys directors are divided into three classes, with
the directors in each class serving a three-year term. For the
reasons set forth below, the Board is proposing amendments that
would eliminate the classified board structure. Under the
proposed amendments, all of the Companys directors would
be elected for one-year terms each year, beginning with the 2011
Annual Meeting. All current director terms will expire at the
2011 Annual Meeting, even if some directors were elected to
multi-year terms that, absent the proposed amendments, would not
have expired at the 2011 Annual Meeting. The proposed amendments
would also amend the provisions in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws regarding removal of directors. Under
Delaware corporate law, directors of companies that have a
classified board may be removed only for cause (unless their
certificate of incorporation provides otherwise), whereas
directors of companies that do not have a classified structure
may be removed with or without cause. The Companys
Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that
directors may be removed only for cause. Because the amendments
would eliminate the classified structure, the amendments also
amend Section 5 of Article VI of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Section 4 of
Article II of the Bylaws to provide that directors may be
removed with or without cause. In addition, Article VI,
Section 4 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Article II, Section 3 of the Bylaws would be amended
to provide that directors appointed to fill Board vacancies and
new directorships will serve for a term expiring at the next
annual meeting of stockholders following their appointment to
the Board.
The Board has reviewed whether the Companys classified
board structure continues to be in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders. In conducting its review, the
Board considered that the general purposes of the classified
board are to promote stability and continuity in leadership on
the board and to provide the board with a greater opportunity to
protect the interests of stockholders from abusive takeover
tactics in the event of an unsolicited takeover offer. The Board
also considered that some corporate governance experts and
institutional stockholders believe that a classified board
reduces accountability to stockholders because it prevents
stockholders from evaluating all directors on an annual basis.
In addition, the Board recognized that the annual election of
directors continues to evolve as a best practice in
corporate
3
governance. After weighing these considerations, the Board has
determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders to eliminate the classified board.
The text of the proposed amendments to the relevant sections of
Article VI of the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article II of the Companys Bylaws
are attached as Appendix A and Appendix B,
respectively, to this proxy statement. Deletions are indicated
by strike-throughs and additions are indicated by underlining.
If approved, these amendments will become effective upon the
filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Companys
Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware, which the Company intends to do
promptly following the annual meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to amend the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws to provide for the declassification of
the Board and the annual election of all directors.
Increase in
Mandatory Retirement Age of Directors to Age 72
(Item 2)
The final sentence of Article II, Section 5 of the
Companys Bylaws currently provides as follows:
No person shall be elected a director of the Corporation
after having attained the age of seventy years.
For the reasons set forth below, the Companys Board of
Directors has adopted and is submitting for stockholder approval
an amendment to this provision of the Bylaws to increase the
mandatory retirement age for directors to age 72.
The Board believes that 72, rather than 70, is a more
appropriate retirement age for the Companys directors. The
Board believes that the current retirement age results in the
premature retirement of directors at an age when they are
valuable members of the Board of Directors with substantial
knowledge of the Companys history and operations.
Increasing the mandatory retirement age to 72 would give the
Company the opportunity to maintain the valuable expertise of
directors for an additional time period, while at the same time
maintaining a mandatory retirement age that is in line with the
average retirement age of directors of major corporations. If
the proposed amendment is adopted, Theodore E. Martin, who has
been a director of the Company since 1995 and who is chairman of
the Compensation Committee and a member of the Audit Committee,
will stand for reelection at the annual meeting. If the proposed
amendment is not adopted by stockholders, Mr. Martin, who
is 70 years old, will not be a nominee for election at the
meeting and will retire from the Board, and the size of the
Board of Directors will be reduced.
The final sentence of Article II, Section 5 of the
Companys Bylaws will be amended to read as follows if the
proposed amendment is approved by stockholders:
No person shall be elected a director of the Corporation
after having attained the age of seventy-two years.
If it is approved by the stockholders, this amendment to the
Companys Bylaws will become effective immediately upon
such approval. If this amendment is adopted, the Company will
also make conforming changes to its corporate governance
guidelines regarding the appropriate retirement age for
directors.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to amend the Companys Bylaws to increase the
mandatory retirement age of directors to age 72.
4
Decrease in
Minimum and Maximum Number of Directors (Item 3)
Article VI, Section 1 of the Companys Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Article II, Section 1
of the Companys Bylaws each currently provides that the
Board is to consist of no fewer than 10 and no more than
20 persons, with the exact number within this range to be
determined by the Board of Directors. The Board currently
consists of 12 members. For the reasons set forth below, the
Board believes that it would be in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders to reduce the minimum and maximum
number of directors to a range of seven to 15 persons.
The Board of Directors believes that a smaller board is more
effective in facilitating communications and decision making. A
board of directors consisting of between seven and
15 persons would be consistent with the way the Board has
operated for the past ten years, where the number of directors
on the Board during this time has ranged from a minimum of
10 persons to a maximum of 13 persons. It would also
be consistent with the continuing trend towards smaller boards,
with the average board size of major corporations decreasing
over the past ten years.
The Company currently has 12 directors. However, as set
forth below under Election of Directors, one of the
companys current directors has decided not to stand for
reelection. As a result, the Board will consist of 11 members
following this years annual meeting. If the amendment to
the Companys Bylaws to increase the mandatory retirement
age of directors described above in Item 2 is not approved
by stockholders, the Board will be further reduced to 10
members. The Board believes that decreasing the minimum number
of directors would also avoid the potential situation of having
to quickly fill any unexpected vacancies in order to meet the
existing minimum size requirement. Given the importance of
recruiting qualified, independent directors, the Board believes
it is prudent to conduct an organized search for a replacement
when vacancies occur.
The text of the proposed amendments to Article VI,
Section 1 of the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article II, Section 1 of the
Companys Bylaws are attached as Appendix C and
Appendix D, respectively, to this proxy statement.
Deletions are indicated by strike-throughs and additions are
indicated by underlining. If approved, these amendments will
become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment
to the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the
Company intends to do promptly following the annual meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to amend the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws to decrease the minimum and maximum
number of directors that may comprise the Board of Directors.
ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS
(Item 4)
The Board of Directors currently consists of 12 members, divided
into three classes. Currently, one class of directors is elected
each year to hold office for a three-year term. However, if
stockholders approve the amendments to the Companys
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to eliminate
the classified board, as described under Item 1 of this
proxy statement, the terms of all directors, including the
directors to be elected at the annual meeting, will expire at
the 2011 annual meeting. In either case, each director will hold
office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified
or until the directors earlier resignation or removal.
Three of the four directors whose terms expire in 2010, Henry C.
Duques, Theodore E. Martin and Charles B. McQuade, have been
nominated for reelection. Clayton M. Jones has decided not to
stand for reelection. Mr. Martins nomination is
subject to the approval by stockholders of the amendment to the
Companys Bylaws to increase the mandatory retirement age
of directors described above in
5
Item 2. If that amendment is not approved by stockholders,
Mr. Martin will retire from the Board of Directors at the
annual meeting and will not stand for reelection, and the size
of the Board will be reduced to 10 members. The remaining eight
directors will continue to serve as set forth below. However, if
stockholders approve the amendments to the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws to eliminate the classified board,
the terms of all the Companys directors, including the
directors to be elected at this annual meeting, will expire at
the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. Each of the nominees
has agreed to serve as a director if elected, and Unisys
believes that each nominee will be available to serve. However,
the proxy holders have discretionary authority to cast votes for
the election of a substitute should any nominee not be available
to serve as a director.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all
nominees.

In February 2003, the SEC and Mr. Bolduc settled public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings. Without admitting or denying the SECs findings, Mr. Bolduc consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order in which the SEC found that, between 1991 and 1995, while Mr. Bolduc was president and either chief operating officer or chief executive officer of W. R. Grace & Co. and a member of its board of directors, Grace fraudulently used reserves to defer income earned by a subsidiary, primarily to smooth earnings of its health care segment, in violation of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as the provisions that require public companies to keep accurate books and records, maintain appropriate internal accounting controls and file accurate annual and quarterly reports. The order generally finds that Mr. Bolduc, through his actions or omissions, was a cause of these violations. The order also notes that, during the period in question, Mr. Bolduc did not sell any of the substantial number of Grace shares that he owned. The SEC ordered Mr. Bolduc to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation or future violation of the antifraud and reporting requirements of the federal securities laws. It did not impose any fines, penalties or bars on Mr. Bolduc.

Board Meetings;
Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board of Directors held eight meetings in 2009. During 2009,
all directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board
of Directors and standing committees on which they served.
It is the Companys policy that all directors should attend
the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the Companys
directors at the time of the 2009 annual meeting attended that
meeting.
Independence of
Directors
All of the Companys directors other than Mr. Coleman
meet the independence requirements prescribed by the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) and, in the case of members of
the Audit Committee, also meet the audit committee independence
requirements prescribed by the SEC. In assessing whether a
director has a material relationship with Unisys (either
directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with Unisys), the Board
uses the criteria outlined below in paragraph 2 of
Corporate Governance Guidelines. All non-employee
directors met these criteria in 2009. In particular, two of the
Companys non-employee directors, Mr. Espe and
Mr. Jones, served as chief executive officer of a company
that does business with Unisys in the ordinary course. In each
instance, combined Unisys sales to and purchases from the
directors company in 2009 represented less than one
percent of that companys annual revenue.
Committees
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. The specific functions and
responsibilities of each committee are set forth in its charter,
which is available on the Companys Internet web site at
www.unisys.com in the Investor Relations section under Corporate
Governance and is also available in print to any stockholder who
requests it.
Audit
Committee
The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of
(1) the integrity of the Companys financial
statements and its financial reporting and disclosure practices,
(2) the soundness of its
12
systems of internal financial and accounting controls,
(3) the independence and qualifications of its independent
registered public accounting firm, (4) the performance of
its internal auditors and independent registered public
accounting firm, (5) the Companys compliance with
legal and regulatory requirements and the soundness of its
ethical and environmental compliance programs and (6) the
Companys risk assessment and risk management policies. The
Audit Committee held 10 meetings in 2009. Its members in 2009
were Mr. Duques, Mr. Espe (chair), Ms. Fletcher
and Mr. Martin. Mr. Weaver became a member of the
Audit Committee in February 2010. The Board has determined that
each of Mr. Duques, Mr. Espe, Ms. Fletcher,
Mr. Martin and Mr. Weaver is an audit committee
financial expert as defined by the SEC.
Compensation
Committee
The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of the
Companys executives, the Companys executive
management structure, the compensation-related policies and
programs involving the Companys executive management and
the level of benefits of officers and key employees. In this
capacity, the committee regularly reviews and approves the
Companys executive compensation strategy and principles to
ensure that they are aligned with the Companys business
strategy and objectives and with stockholder interests. Under
its charter, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and
approves goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of
the chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of the
chief executive officer in light of those goals and objectives
and makes recommendations to the independent members of the
Board concerning the compensation level of the chief executive
officer. The committee also annually reviews and approves
compensation levels of the other elected officers. In this
regard, the committee solicits input from the Companys
chief executive officer regarding the compensation of those
executives who report directly to him. The Compensation
Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board the adoption
of director compensation programs. The Companys guidelines
regarding the compensation of directors are described more fully
in paragraph 11 of Corporate Governance
Guidelines below. As is discussed more fully below in
Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the
Compensation Committee regularly receives reports and
recommendations from management and from the committees
outside compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its
responsibilities. In 2009, the outside compensation consultant
engaged by the Compensation Committee was Watson Wyatt. During
2009, Watson Wyatt and its affiliates did not provide additional
services to the Company or its affiliates in an amount in excess
of $120,000. In January 2010, Watson Wyatt and Towers Perrin
merged to form Towers Watson & Co. Towers Perrin
has provided in the past, and continues to provide, human
resources consulting and other services to the Company. As a
result, effective January 1, 2010, the Compensation
Committee engaged a new consultant, Pearl Meyer &
Partners. Under its charter, the committee also may consult with
legal, accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, and may
form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.
The Compensation Committee held eight meetings in 2009. Its
members are Dr. Duderstadt, Mr. Jones, Mr. Martin
(chair) and Mr. McQuade.
Finance
Committee
The Finance Committee oversees the Companys financial
affairs, including its capital structure, financial
arrangements, capital spending and acquisition and disposition
plans. It also oversees the management and investment of funds
in the pension, savings and welfare benefit plans sponsored by
the Company. The Finance Committee held nine meetings in 2009.
Its members are Mr. Bolduc (chair), Mr. Espe,
Mr. Jones, Mr. Lifflander and Mr. McQuade.
13
Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and
reviews candidates and recommends to the Board of Directors
nominees for membership on the Board of Directors. It also
oversees the Companys corporate governance. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings in 2009.
Its members are Dr. Duderstadt (chair), Ms. Fletcher,
Ms. Kenne and Mr. Lifflander.
Director
Nomination Process
As part of the nomination process, the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee is responsible for determining the
appropriate skills and characteristics required of new Board
members in the context of the current
make-up of
the Board and for identifying qualified candidates for Board
membership. In so doing, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee considers, with input from the Board, those factors it
deems appropriate, such as independence, experience, strength of
character, mature judgment, technical skills, diversity, age and
the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on
the Board. The aim is to assemble a Board that is strong in its
collective knowledge and that consists of individuals who bring
a variety of complementary attributes and who, taken together,
have the appropriate skills and experience to oversee the
Companys business. As set forth above, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity as one of a
number of factors in identifying nominees for director. It does
not, however, have a formal policy in this regard. The committee
views diversity broadly to include diversity of experience,
skills and viewpoint as well as traditional diversity concepts
such as race or gender.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives
suggestions for new directors from a number of sources,
including Board members. It also may, in its discretion, employ
a third party search firm to assist in identifying candidates
for director. In February 2010, the committee recommended, and
the Board elected, a new director, Paul E. Weaver. As part of
the selection process, the committee looked for a candidate with
auditing and accounting expertise and with experience with the
information technology industry. Mr. Weaver, who was a
director of Gateway, Inc. when Mr. Coleman was that
companys chief executive officer and also a director, was
initially suggested by a non-management member of the Unisys
Board. The committee will also consider recommendations for
Board membership received from stockholders and other qualified
sources. Recommendations on director candidates must be in
writing and addressed to the Chairman of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee,
c/o Corporate
Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way, Blue Bell,
Pennsylvania 19424.
The full Board is responsible for final approval of new director
candidates, as well as the nomination of existing directors for
reelection. With respect to existing directors, prior to making
its recommendation to the full Board, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, reviews each
directors continuation on the Board as a regular part of
the nominating process, which currently occurs every three years
and will occur annually if the amendments discussed above in
Item 1 are approved by stockholders. Specific information
on the qualifications of each of the Companys directors is
included above in Item 4.
Communications
with Directors
Stockholders and other interested parties may send
communications to the Board of Directors or to the
non-management directors as a group by writing to them
c/o Corporate
Secretary, Unisys
14
Corporation, Unisys Way, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. All
communications directed to Board members will be delivered to
them.
Board Leadership
Structure
As set forth in paragraph 4 of Corporate Governance
Guidelines below, the Board does not have a policy, one
way or the other, on whether the same person should serve as
both the chief executive officer and chairman of the board or,
if the roles are separate, whether the chairman should be
selected from the non-employee directors or should be an
employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility
to make these determinations at any given point in time in the
way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for
the Company at that time. Over the last several years, the
Company has had each of the following leadership structures,
reflecting its circumstances at the time: separate chairman and
chief executive officer, with the chairman being a member of the
Companys management (2005); separate non-employee chairman
and chief executive officer
(2006-2008)
and combined chairman and chief executive officer (October 2008
to present). The Board believes that its current leadership
structure, with Mr. Coleman serving as both chief executive
officer and board chairman, is appropriate given
Mr. Colemans past experience serving in these roles,
the efficiencies of having the chief executive officer also
serve in the role of chairman and the Companys strong
corporate governance structure. Pursuant to the Companys
governance guidelines, whenever the chairman is an employee of
the Company, the Board elects a lead director from its
independent directors. The lead director is currently
Mr. Duques. The chairman and chief executive officer
consults periodically with the lead director on Board matters
and on issues facing the Company. In addition, the lead director
serves as the principal liaison between the chairman of the
board and the independent directors and presides at an executive
session of non-management directors at each regularly scheduled
board meeting.
Risk
Oversight
In its oversight role, the Board of Directors annually reviews
the Companys strategic plan, which addresses, among other
things, the risks and opportunities facing the Company. The
Board also has overall responsibility for executive officer
succession planning and reviews succession plans each year. The
Board has delegated certain risk management oversight
responsibility to the Board committees. As part of its
responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Audit
Committee is responsible for discussing with management the
Companys major financial risk exposures and the steps
management has taken to monitor and control those exposures,
including the Companys risk assessment and risk management
policies. In this regard, the Companys chief audit
executive prepares annually a comprehensive risk assessment
report and reviews that report with the Audit Committee each
year. This report identifies the material business risks
(including strategic, operational, financial reporting and
compliance risks) for the Company as a whole, as well as for
each business unit and for corporate common services, and
identifies the controls that respond to and mitigate those
risks. The Companys management regularly evaluates these
controls, and the chief audit executive periodically reports to
the Audit Committee regarding their design and effectiveness.
The Audit Committee also receives annual reports from management
on the Companys ethics program and on environmental
compliance. The Finance Committee regularly reviews with
management the Companys financial arrangements, capital
structure and the Companys ability to access the capital
markets. It also oversees the allocation policies with respect
to the Companys pension assets, as well as the performance
of pension plan investments. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee annually reviews the Companys
corporate governance guidelines and their implementation. Each
committee regularly reports to the full Board.
15
Compensation of
Directors
In 2009, the Companys non-employee directors received an
annual retainer/attendance fee for regularly scheduled meetings
of $60,000 and a meeting fee of $1,500 per meeting for
attendance at certain additional Board and committee meetings.
In addition, Mr. Duques received a $25,000 annual retainer
for serving as Lead Director; chairmen of committees other than
the audit committee each received a $5,000 annual retainer; and
the chair of the audit committee received a $20,000 annual
retainer. On February 12, 2009 each non-employee director
received a grant of 6,310.8 restricted stock units. This number
reflects the
one-for-ten
reverse split of the Companys common stock in October 2009
(the Reverse Stock Split). The restricted stock
units vest in three annual installments beginning one year after
the date of grant if the director is still a director or, if
not, has met certain service criteria and will be settled in
shares of Unisys common stock.
The annual retainers described above are paid in monthly
installments in cash. However, directors may choose, on an
annual basis, to receive these fees in the form of common stock
equivalent units. The value of each stock unit at any point in
time is equal to the value of one share of Unisys common stock.
Stock units are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for
each director. A directors stock unit account is payable
in Unisys common stock, either upon termination of service or on
a date specified by the director, at the directors option.
Directors do not have the right to vote with respect to any
stock units. Directors also have the opportunity to defer until
termination of service, or until a specified date, all or a
portion of their cash fees under the Companys deferred
compensation plan for directors. Under this plan, any deferred
cash amounts, and earnings or losses thereon (calculated by
reference to the investment options available under the Unisys
Savings Plan and selected by the director), are recorded in a
memorandum account maintained for each director. The right to
receive future payments of deferred cash accounts is an
unsecured claim against the Companys general assets.
Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any
cash, stock units, stock options or restricted stock units for
their services as directors. The table below provides a summary
of Director Compensation for 2009.

Under the Companys stock ownership guidelines, directors
are expected to own 2,500 post-Reverse Stock Split shares of the
Companys common stock. This goal must be achieved by
April 30, 2013 for directors in office on April 30,
2008 and within five years after election date for directors
elected after April 30, 2008. Stock units received in
respect of directors fees count toward fulfillment of the
ownership guidelines; stock options, including vested stock
options, and restricted stock units do not count. The
Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy of and compliance
with the guidelines on an annual basis, typically in April. The
number of shares owned by each director is set forth in the
stock ownership table on page 31.
Code of Ethics
and Business Conduct
Unisys has a code of ethics, the Unisys Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct, that applies to all employees, officers
(including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer
and principal accounting officer or controller) and directors.
The code is posted on the Companys Internet web site at
www.unisys.com in the Investor Relations section under
Corporate Governance and is also available in print to any
stockholder who requests it. The Company intends to post
amendments to or waivers from the code (to the extent applicable
to the Companys chief executive officer, chief financial
officer or principal accounting officer or controller) at this
location on its web site.
Corporate
Governance Guidelines
The Board of Directors has adopted Guidelines on Significant
Corporate Governance Issues. The full text of these guidelines
is available on the Companys Internet web site at
www.unisys.com in the Investor Relations section under
Corporate Governance and is also available in print to any
stockholder who requests it. Among other matters, the guidelines
cover the following:
1. A majority of the Board of Directors shall qualify as
independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange. Members of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committees must also so qualify.
2. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
reviews annually with the Board the independence of outside
directors. Following this review, only those directors who meet
the independence qualifications prescribed by the New York Stock
Exchange and who the Board affirmatively determines have no
material relationship with the Company will be considered
independent. The Board has determined that the following
commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to
be material relationships that would
17
impair independence: (a) if a director is an executive
officer or partner of, or owns more than a ten percent equity
interest in, a company that does business with Unisys, and sales
to or purchases from Unisys are less than one percent of the
annual revenues of that company and (b) if a director is an
officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and
Unisys contributions to that organization are less than one
percent of its annual charitable receipts.
3. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is
responsible for determining the appropriate skills and
characteristics required of Board members in the context of its
current
make-up, and
will consider factors such as independence, experience, strength
of character, mature judgment, technical skills, diversity and
age in its assessment of the needs of the Board.
4. The Board is free to make the selection of Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer any way that seems best to
assure the success of the Company so as to provide appropriate
leadership at a given point in time. Therefore, the Board does
not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether or not the
role of the Chief Executive and Chairman of the Board should be
separate and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman
should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an
employee. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of the
Company, the Chairman should qualify as independent under the
listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
5. It is the sense of the Board that the Companys
by-law provision that no person shall be elected a director
after attaining age 70 is appropriate. Accordingly, no
director shall stand for re-election at any annual
stockholders meeting following attainment of age 70
and no person shall be elected a director (as a result of an
increase in the number of directors, to fill a vacancy or
otherwise) if such person has attained the age of 70.
6. Directors should volunteer to resign from the Board upon
a change in primary job responsibility. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee will review the appropriateness
of continued Board membership under the circumstances and will
recommend, and the Board will determine, whether or not to
accept the directors resignation. In addition, if the
Companys chief executive officer resigns from that
position, he is expected to offer his resignation from the Board
at the same time.
7. Non-management directors are encouraged to limit the
number of public company boards on which they serve to no more
than four in addition to the Companys and should advise
the Chairman of the Board and the general counsel of the Company
before accepting an invitation to serve on another board.
8. The non-management directors will meet in executive
session at all regularly scheduled Board meetings. They may also
meet in executive session at any time upon request. If the
Chairman of the Board is an employee of the Company, the Board
will elect from the independent directors a lead director who
will preside at executive sessions. If the Chairman is not an
employee, the Chairman will preside at executive sessions.
9. Board members have complete access to Unisys management.
Members of senior management who are not Board members regularly
attend Board meetings, and the Board encourages senior
management, from time to time, to bring into Board meetings
other managers who can provide additional insights into the
matters under discussion.
10. The Board and its committees have the right at any time
to retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors.
18
11. It is appropriate for the Companys staff to
report once a year to the Compensation Committee on the status
of Board compensation in relation to other large
U.S. companies. Changes in Board compensation, if any,
should come at the suggestion of the Compensation Committee, but
with full discussion and concurrence by the Board. Particular
attention will be paid to structuring Board compensation in a
manner aligned with stockholder interests. In this regard, a
meaningful portion of a directors compensation should be
provided and held in stock options
and/or stock
units. Directors should not, except in rare circumstances
approved by the Board, draw any consulting, legal or other fees
from the Company. In no event shall any member of the Audit
Committee receive any compensation from the Company other than
directors fees.
12. The Company will provide an orientation program for new
directors. The Company will also provide directors with
presentations from time to time on topics designed by the
Company or third-party experts to assist directors in carrying
out their responsibilities. Directors may also attend
appropriate continuing education programs at the Companys
expense.
13. The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to
determine whether it and its committees are functioning
effectively.
14. The non-management directors will evaluate the
performance of the chief executive officer annually and will
meet in executive session, led by the chairperson of the
Compensation Committee, to review this performance. The
evaluation is based on objective criteria, including performance
of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic
objectives and development of management. Based on this
evaluation, the Compensation Committee will recommend, and the
members of the Board who meet the independence criteria of the
New York Stock Exchange will determine and approve, the
compensation of the chief executive officer.
15. To assist the Board in its planning for the succession
to the position of chief executive officer, the chief executive
officer is expected to provide an annual report on succession
planning to the Board.
16. The Companys stockholder rights plan expired on
March 17, 2006, and it has no present intention to adopt a
new one. Subject to its continuing fiduciary duties, which may
dictate otherwise depending on the circumstances, the Board
shall submit the adoption of any future stockholder rights plan
to a vote of the stockholders. Any stockholder rights plan
adopted or extended without stockholder approval shall be
approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board
and shall be in response to specific, articulable circumstances
that are deemed to warrant such action without the delay that
might result from seeking prior stockholder approval. If the
Board adopts or extends a rights plan without prior stockholder
approval, the Board shall, within one year, either submit the
plan to a vote of the stockholders or redeem the plan or cause
it to expire.
If stockholders approve the amendments to the Companys
Bylaws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation discussed in
this proxy statement, the Board will amend the Companys
corporate governance guidelines to conform them to such
amendments.
Related Party
Transactions
The Company is required to disclose any transactions since the
beginning of 2009 (or any currently proposed transaction) in
which the Company was a participant, the amount involved exceeds
$120,000 and a director or executive officer, any immediate
family member of a director or
19
executive officer or any person or group beneficially owning
more than 5% of the Companys common stock had a direct or
indirect material interest. The Company does not have any such
transactions to report.
Currently the Company has not adopted a policy specifically
directed at the review, approval or ratification of related
party transactions required to be disclosed. However, under the
Unisys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, all employees,
officers and directors are required to avoid conflicts of
interest. Employees (including officers) must review with, and
obtain the approval of, their immediate supervisor and the
Companys Corporate Ethics Office, any situation (without
regard to dollar amount) that may involve a conflict of
interest. Directors should raise possible conflicts of interest
with the chief executive officer or the general counsel. The
code of ethics defines a conflict of interest as any
relationship, arrangement, investment or situation in which
loyalties are divided between Unisys interests and personal
interests and specifically notes involvement (either personally
or through a family member) in a business that is a competitor,
supplier or customer of the Company as a particularly sensitive
area that requires careful review.
Audit Committee
Report
In performing its oversight responsibilities as defined in its
charter, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements and reporting process, including
the system of internal controls, with management and with
KPMG LLP, the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
The committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters
required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61, as amended, (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1,
AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. In addition, the
committee has received from KPMG LLP the written disclosures and
the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG LLPs
communications with the committee concerning independence and
has discussed with KPMG LLP their independence. The committee
has also considered the compatibility of audit-related services,
tax services and other non-audit services with the firms
independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
statements be included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009 for filing with the
SEC.

Audit fees consist of fees for the audit and review of the
Companys financial statements, statutory audits, comfort
letters, consents, assistance with and review of documents filed
with the SEC and Section 404 attestation procedures.
Audit-related fees consist of fees for SAS 70 engagements,
employee benefit plan audits, accounting advice regarding
specific transactions and various attestation engagements. Tax
fees principally represent fees for tax compliance services.
The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the
services that may be provided by the independent registered
public accounting firm. The committee has adopted an Audit and
Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy that contains a list of
pre-approved services, which the committee may revise from time
to time. In addition, the Audit Committee has delegated
pre-approval authority, up to a fee limitation of $150,000 per
service, to the chairman of the committee. The chairman of the
committee reports any such pre-approval decision to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
Relationship with
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
On March 14, 2008, the Audit Committee dismissed
Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm, and on March 19, 2008,
the Audit Committee engaged KPMG LLP as the independent
registered public accounting firm to audit the Companys
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.
RATIFICATION OF
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Item 5)
The Audit Committee has engaged the firm of KPMG LLP as the
independent registered public accounting firm to audit the
Companys financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2010. The Company expects that representatives
of KPMG LLP will be present at the annual meeting and will have
the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and
to respond to appropriate questions asked by stockholders. The
Board of Directors considers KPMG LLP to be well qualified to
serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for
Unisys and recommends a vote for the proposal to ratify their
selection.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm for
2010.
21
APPROVAL OF THE
UNISYS CORPORATION 2010 LONG-TERM
INCENTIVE AND EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
(Item 6)
On February 11, 2010, the Board of Directors unanimously
approved and adopted the Unisys Corporation 2010 Long-Term
Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan (the 2010
Plan), authorized 4,000,000 shares for issuance under
the plan, and directed that the plan be submitted to
stockholders for approval. If it is approved by stockholders,
the 2010 Plan will become effective when it is so approved.
The purposes of the 2010 Plan are to support the Companys
ongoing efforts to attract, retain and develop exceptional
talent and to enable the Company to provide incentives directly
linked to the Companys short-term and long-term objectives
and to increases in stockholder value. In addition, under the
2010 Plan, the Company will have the ability to grant
performance-based compensation awards that meet the requirements
of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, thereby
preserving the Companys ability to receive federal income
tax deductions for the awards.
The 2010 Plan will be in addition to the Unisys Corporation 2007
Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007
Plan) and the Unisys Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive
and Equity Compensation Plan (the 2003 Plan). The
2007 Plan and the 2003 Plan were adopted by stockholders in 2007
and 2003, respectively, and provide for the award of stock
options and stock-based awards to elected officers, outside
directors, and key employees of the Company. As set forth under
Equity Compensation Plan Information on
page 29, 943,144 shares of the Companys common
stock remained available for future issuance under the 2007 Plan
and 573,873 shares of the Companys common stock
remained available for future issuance under the 2003 Plan at
December 31, 2009. As of February 12, 2010, after
taking into account awards made in 2010, as well as the
expiration, termination or forfeiture of existing awards,
178,051 shares were available for issuance under the 2007
Plan and 789,013 shares were available for issuance under
the 2003 Plan.
Summary
Description of the 2010 Plan
The following is a summary of the material features of the 2010
Plan. This summary is subject in all respects to the complete
text of the 2010 Plan, which is attached as Appendix E.
Shares Available. Four million shares of
the Companys common stock are authorized for issuance
under the 2010 Plan. Under the plan, if an award is cashed out
or is exercised, terminates or expires without a payment being
made in the form of the Companys common stock, the shares
subject to that award again become available for issuance.
However, shares of the Companys common stock that are
(1) tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option,
(2) withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding
obligation with respect to an award or (3) repurchased by
the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise
of an option, may not again be available for issuance in
connection with awards under the plan. Also, if the spread value
of a stock appreciation right is paid in shares of the
Companys common stock, shares representing the excess, if
any, of (1) the number of shares subject to the stock
appreciation right over (2) the number of shares delivered
in payment of the spread value may not again be available for
issuance in connection with awards under the plan. The number of
authorized shares will be proportionately substituted for or
adjusted to reflect a merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split,
split-up,
spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants, or other similar
event. The Company anticipates that the number of authorized
shares will cover awards made under the plan for at least three
years.
22
Eligibility. All employees, officers and
non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the 2010 Plan.
The Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the
Board of Directors has the authority to select participants and
to determine the amount, type and terms of each award. In 2010,
awards under the 2007 Plan
and/or the
2003 Plan have been made to the 11 elected officers of the
Company, the 11 non-employee directors and approximately 225
non-officer employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Types of Awards. The Committee may award stock
options (including nonqualified options and incentive stock
options), stock appreciation rights (SARs),
restricted share awards, other stock-based awards and cash
incentive awards.
Stock Options. A stock option represents the
right to purchase a share of common stock at a predetermined
exercise price. Stock options granted under the 2010 Plan may be
in the form of incentive stock options (ISOs) or
nonqualified stock options, as determined in the discretion of
the Committee. The terms of each stock option, including the
number of shares, option duration, exercise price, vesting
period and any other restrictions or conditions on exercise,
will be set forth in an award agreement. In no event will a
stock option be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of
the date on which it was granted. Stock options may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by payment in full of the
exercise price in cash. In addition, if authorized by the
Committee, payment in full or in part may also be made in the
form of Company common stock already owned by the participant or
through a broker cashless exercise program authorized by the
Company. Stock options expire on the earlier of the expiration
date of the stock option (as set forth in the applicable award
agreement) or the participants termination of employment
(or, in the case of a non-employee director, termination of
service on the Board). Under certain conditions, a stock option
may be exercised after a participants termination (e.g.,
retirement, death, disability, or termination, other than for
cause, at or after attainment of age 55 with 5 years
of service), but not later than the expiration date for the
option.
Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR represents
the right to receive a payment, in cash, shares of common stock,
or both (as determined by the Committee), equal to the spread
value (the excess of the fair market value of common stock on
the date the SAR is exercised over the grant price of the SAR).
Fair market value for purposes of the 2010 Plan
means, on any date, the closing sales price on the New York
Stock Exchange of a share of Unisys stock on such date. The
grant price of a SAR will be set forth in the applicable award
agreement. Subject to the terms of the applicable award
agreement, a SAR will be exercisable, in whole or in part, by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company, but in no
event will a SAR be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary
of the date on which it was granted.
Restricted Share Awards. Restricted share
awards are grants of shares of stock to a participant that are
subject to forfeiture during a pre-established period if certain
conditions (e.g., continued employment or attainment of
pre-determined performance goals) are not met. The terms of a
participants restricted share award are determined by the
Committee and are set forth in an award agreement. Restricted
stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered while the shares are subject to forfeiture.
A participant generally will have all the rights of a holder of
common stock, including the rights to receive any dividends and
to vote, during the restricted period. Any dividends with
respect to restricted stock that are payable in common stock
will be paid in the form of restricted stock.
Other Stock-Based Awards. Other stock-based
awards are awards, other than stock options, SARs or restricted
stock, that are denominated or valued in whole or in part by
23
reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, the value of
common stock. The purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of
other stock-based awards will be on such terms and conditions
and by such methods as will be specified by the Committee and
will be set forth in an award agreement.
Incentive Awards. Incentive Awards are
performance-based awards that are expressed in
U.S. currency, but that may be payable in the form of cash,
stock or a combination of both, and are payable upon the
satisfaction of pre-determined performance goals over
performance periods. Incentive awards may be either annual
incentive awards (that measure performance over a period of one
year or less) or long-term incentive awards (that measure
performance over a period in excess of one year). The terms of a
participants incentive award will be established by the
Committee and will be set forth in an award agreement. The 2010
Plan specifically provides that dividends or dividend
equivalents may not be granted with respect to stock options or
SARs.
Awards Granted at Fair Market Value. The
exercise price of a stock option and the grant price of a SAR
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of
Unisys common stock on the date of grant. In addition, if the
value of another stock-based award is based on spread value, the
grant price for the other stock-based award may not be less than
100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The only
exception is for awards made in substitution for similar awards
made to a participant under a predecessor company plan that has
been assumed by the Company as a result of a reorganization,
merger, consolidation or other similar transaction.
Minimum Vesting Period for Awards. Except in
the case of a new-hire award or under such other circumstances
deemed appropriate by the Committee, no stock option, SAR,
restricted stock or other stock-based award will be granted with
a vesting period of less than one year.
Stock Option Repricing or Buyout. Except for
automatic adjustments to reflect a merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split,
split-up,
spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants, or other similar
event, stock options may not be repriced (whether through
modification of the exercise price of options after the date of
grant or through an option exchange program) without the
approval of the Companys stockholders. Similarly, without
the stockholders approval, there cannot be a cash buyout
of options if the fair market value of the Companys stock
is less than the exercise price of the options.
Award Limitations. The total number of
restricted shares and other shares of stock underlying stock
options, SARs, and other stock-based awards awarded to any
participant during any year may not exceed
(1) 600,000 shares multiplied by (2) the number
of calendar years during which the participant has been eligible
to participate in the 2010 Plan, and reduced by (3) the
number of shares with respect to which the participant has
received awards of restricted shares, stock options, SARs
and/or other
stock-based awards under the 2010 Plan. An annual incentive
award paid to a participant may not exceed $5,000,000. A
long-term incentive award paid to a participant may not exceed
$3,000,000 times the number of years in the performance cycle
applicable to the award.
Performance-Based Awards. Any award granted
under the 2010 Plan may be conditioned on the attainment of one
or more performance goals over a specified performance cycle. If
the Committee intends that an award made to a covered
employee (generally the chief executive officer and the
three most highly compensated executive officers other than the
principal financial officer) will constitute
performance-based compensation within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the
performance goals will be based on one or more of the following
criteria: earnings per share; total stockholder return;
operating income; net income; cash flow; free cash flow; return
on equity; return on capital; revenue growth; earnings before
interest,
24
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); stock
price;
debt-to-capital
ratio; stockholders equity per share; operating income as
a percent of revenue; gross profit as a percent of revenue;
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenue; operating cash flow; pre-tax profit; orders; revenue;
and customer value. The Committee may determine at the beginning
of any performance cycle to adjust the performance goals for
that cycle to include or exclude specified components or other
specified items, for example to reflect changes in accounting
principles or tax rates, the effects of an acquisition or
disposition or other changes, as described in the 2010 Plan. The
performance goals may relate to results obtained by the
individual, the Company, a subsidiary, or any business unit,
division or geographic region thereof.
Change in Control. In the event of a
change in control, if a participants
employment is terminated within two years following the change
in control, either involuntarily by the Company without
cause or by the participant for good
reason (each as defined in the 2010 Plan), certain changes
apply to the participants awards.
For any participant whose employment is terminated under these
conditions within two years after a change in control, all his
or her outstanding stock options and SARs will become fully
vested and immediately exercisable. In addition, all
restrictions applicable to his or her outstanding restricted
stock and other stock-based awards that are not
performance-related will lapse, and his or her outstanding
incentive awards and other stock-based awards that are
performance-related will become vested and will be paid out
based on the targeted award opportunity of such awards for the
full performance cycle. The incentive awards and other
stock-based awards will generally be paid at the time the
participant terminates employment; however, for certain
participants, in certain circumstances, payment will be delayed
for six months after his or her termination of employment.
Plan Administration. The 2010 Plan will be
administered by the Committee, which will have the power to
interpret the plan and to adopt such rules and guidelines for
carrying out the plan as it may deem appropriate. The Committee
will have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures
and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the
laws, regulations, compensation practices and tax and accounting
principles of the countries in which the Company or a subsidiary
may operate to assure the viability of the benefits of awards
made to individuals employed in such countries and to meet the
objectives of the plan. Subject to the terms of the plan, the
Committee will have the authority to determine those individuals
eligible to receive awards and the amount, type and terms of
each award and to establish and administer any performance goals
applicable to such awards. The Committee may delegate its
authority and power under the plan in whole or in part to a
subcommittee consisting of two or more non-employee directors
(who are outside directors within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) or, with
respect to determinations and decisions regarding participants
who are not elected officers or non-employee directors, to one
or more officers of the Company, subject to guidelines
prescribed by the Committee.
Amendment and Termination. The Board may
amend, suspend or terminate the 2010 Plan at any time, provided
that no such amendment will be made without stockholder approval
if such approval is required under applicable law or if such
amendment would increase the total number of shares of common
stock that may be distributed under the plan. Except as set
forth in any award agreement, no amendment or termination of the
plan may materially and adversely affect any outstanding award
under the plan without the award recipients consent. No
award may be granted under the 2010 Plan after April 28,
2020.
25
New Plan
Benefits.
Because benefits under the 2010 Plan will depend on the
discretion of the Committee and the fair market value of the
Companys common stock at various future dates, it is not
possible to determine the benefits that will be received if the
2010 Plan is approved by stockholders. The table below shows
grants under the 2007 Plan
and/or the
2003 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2009 received by
or allocated to the executive officers named on page 41,
all elected officers as a group, all non-employee directors as a
group and all other employees as a group.

U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences.
The following is a brief description of the principal
U.S. federal income tax consequences, based on current law,
of awards under the 2010 Plan.
Tax Consequences to Participants. Generally,
when a participant receives an award under the 2010 Plan, the
participants receipt of cash or Company stock in
settlement of the award is conditioned on the participants
performing future services for the Company
and/or the
attainment of performance goals. The award, therefore, is not
taxable at grant. Instead, when and if a participant later
receives cash in settlement of the award, he or she will have
income, taxable at ordinary income rates, equal to the amount of
cash received. Similarly, when and if a participant receives
Company stock in settlement of an award, he or she will, subject
to special rules described below, have income, taxable at
ordinary income rates, equal to the excess of the fair market
value of the stock on that date over the amount, if any, the
participant paid for the stock.
26
Thus, participants generally will be taxable on any cash or the
fair market value of any stock received in settlement of an
incentive award or other stock-based award or upon exercise of a
SAR. Similarly, participants will have taxable income on
exercise of a nonqualified stock option equal to the difference
between the fair market value of the stock subject to the option
and the exercise price of the option.
Special rules apply in the case of an ISO. Participants
generally recognize no taxable income on exercise of an ISO.
Instead, they have gain, taxable at capital gains rates, upon
the disposition of the stock acquired on exercise of the ISO in
an amount equal to the excess of the amount realized on
disposition of the stock over the exercise price of the ISO. (In
some cases, participants may become subject to tax as the result
of the exercise of an ISO, because the excess of the fair market
value of the stock at exercise over the exercise price is an
adjustment item for alternative minimum tax purposes.) The
special tax treatment afforded to ISOs is only available,
however, if the participant does not dispose of the stock
acquired upon exercise of the ISO before the first anniversary
of the date on which he or she exercised the ISO or, if later,
the second anniversary of the date on which the ISO was granted.
If the participant disposes of stock before the expiration of
this holding period, a disqualifying disposition
occurs and the participant will recognize income, taxable at
ordinary income rates, in the year of the disqualifying
disposition. The amount of this income will generally be equal
to the excess, if any, of the lesser of (i) the fair market
value of the stock on the date of exercise and (ii) the
amount realized upon disposition of the stock over the exercise
price paid for the stock. If the amount realized upon a
disqualifying disposition is greater than the fair market value
of the stock on the date of exercise, the difference will be
taxable to the employee as capital gain.
Special rules also apply to awards of restricted shares. A
participant generally will not recognize taxable ordinary income
when he or she receives restricted shares. Instead, the
participant will have taxable income in the first year in which
the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture, generally when all applicable restrictions lapse.
The participant will then have taxable income equal to the fair
market value of the stock at that time over the amount, if any,
the participant paid for the stock. The participant may,
however, make an election to include in income, when the
restricted stock is first transferred to him or her, an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock at
that time over the amount, if any, paid for the stock. The
result of this election is that appreciation in the value of the
stock after the date of transfer is then taxable as capital
gain, rather than as ordinary income.
Awards granted under the plan that are considered to be deferred
compensation must satisfy the requirements of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code to avoid adverse tax consequences
to participants. These requirements include limitations on
timing of payments or acceleration of payments. The Company
intends to structure any awards under the 2010 Plan to meet the
applicable tax law requirements.
Tax Consequences to the Company. Generally,
any time a participant recognizes taxable income, as opposed to
capital gain, as the result of the settlement of any award under
the 2010 Plan, the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal
to the amount of income recognized by the participant.
Other Tax Considerations. Internal Revenue
Code Section 162(m) places a $1,000,000 annual limit on the
compensation deductible by the Company paid to covered employees
(as described above). The limit, however, does not apply to
qualified performance-based compensation. The
Company believes that awards of stock options, SARs and other
awards payable upon the attainment of performance goals under
the 2010 Plan will qualify as qualified
27
performance-based compensation. Also, awards that are granted,
accelerated, or enhanced upon the occurrence of a change in
control may give rise, in whole or in part, to excess
parachute payments within the meaning of Internal Revenue
Code Section 280G and, to such extent, will be
non-deductible by the Company and subject to a 20% excise tax on
the participant.
State and local tax consequences may in some cases differ from
the federal tax consequences. In addition, awards under the 2010
Plan may be made to participants who are subject to tax in
jurisdictions other than the United States and may result in
consequences different from those described above.
The foregoing summary of the income tax consequences in respect
of the 2010 Plan is for general information only. Interested
parties should consult their own advisors as to specific tax
consequences, including the application and effect of foreign,
state, and local tax laws.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR
approval of the Unisys Corporation 2010 Long-Term Incentive and
Equity Compensation Plan.

Director Stock Unit Plan (the Stock Unit Plan) and

the Stock Unit Plan, directors received a portion of their
annual retainers and attendance fees in common stock equivalent
units. The Stock Unit Plan was terminated in 2004, and stock
units are now granted to directors under either the 2003 Plan or
the 2007 Plan, both of which were approved by stockholders.
Under the 2002 Plan, stock options could be granted to key
employees other than elected officers to purchase the
Companys common stock at no less than 100% of fair market
value at the date of grant. Options generally had a maximum
duration of ten years and were exercisable in four equal annual
installments beginning one year after the date of grant. The
2002 Plan was replaced by the 2003 Plan in 2003. No further
awards will be made under either the Stock Unit Plan or the 2002
Plan, and no shares (other than shares subject to outstanding
options and other awards previously made) are available for
future issuance under either plan.

Mr. Lifflander and 2,000,000 are owned directly by MMI
Investments, L.P., the general partner of which, MCM Capital
Management, LLC (MCM), owns, indirectly as such
general partner, its proportionate interest of these shares.
Mr. Lifflander is a Voting Member and President of MCM.
Mr. Lifflander and MCM have disclaimed beneficial ownership
of such shares except to the extent of their respective
pecuniary interests therein. Mr. Lifflander has informed
the Company that the shares owned by MMI Investments, L.P. are

attract, retain and motivate executives responsible for the
Companys long-term success;
|
|
|
|
reward executives for achieving both financial and strategic
Company goals;
|
|
|
|
align executive and stockholder interests through long-term,
equity-based plans; and
|
|
|
|
provide a compensation package that recognizes individual
contributions as well as overall business results.
|
Given these objectives, the Companys executive
compensation program is designed to provide a mix of fixed
compensation and at-risk compensation that is heavily weighted
towards variable compensation tied to the achievement of
specific business objectives and corporate financial goals (both
short-term and long-term), as well as to the attainment of the
executives individual performance objectives. To that end,
the principal components of executive officer compensation are:
|
|
|
|
|
base salary;
|
|
|
|
short-term cash incentives tied to annual and quarterly
corporate and individual performance; and
|
|
|
|
long-term incentives in the form of restricted stock units,
stock options
and/or other
stock-based awards.
|
In addition, executive officers receive other benefits that the
Company believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall
compensation program. These include supplemental retirement
programs and executive perquisites.
Each of the three principal elements of the Companys
executive compensation program is essential to meeting the
programs overall objectives, and most of the compensation
components simultaneously fulfill one or more of these
objectives. Base salaries, which are the only fixed component of
compensation, are used primarily to attract and retain
executives responsible for the Companys long-term success.
Annual cash incentive compensation is at-risk
compensation designed both to reward executives for the
achievement of short-term corporate, business unit and
individual goals and to attract and retain executives. Long-term
incentive compensation is intended to align executive and
stockholder interests, to motivate and reward executives for
long-term business success and to attract and retain executives
responsible for this long-term success.
The Company has not adopted a formula to allocate total
compensation among its various components. As a general matter,
total target compensation, as well as each element of total
target compensation, is intended to be consistent with the
median for the companies against which Unisys benchmarks the
compensation it pays to its executive officers. However, the
Company incorporates flexibility into its compensation programs
and into the assessment process to respond to and adjust for the
changing business environment and to emphasize, as needed, one
or more of its compensation objectives.

Benchmarking
The Companys executive compensation program takes into
account the compensation practices of companies with which
Unisys competes or could compete for executive talent. In its
review of the Companys executive compensation program in
2009, the Compensation Committee compared the Companys
overall compensation practices (types of compensation paid, mix
of variable and fixed compensation, mix of cash and equity-based
compensation and the like) and compensation levels
(officers total annual compensation, as well as each
component of their total compensation) with two groups of
benchmark companies. The Compensation Committee looked primarily
at the following group of companies, which was developed by its
compensation consultant based on industry, revenue, number of
employees and market capitalization, as the first benchmark:
|
|
|
|
|
Accenture
ACS
BearingPoint
Computer Associates
Cognizant Tech Solutions
|
|
CSC
EMC
Juniper Networks
NCR
NetApp, Inc.
|
|
Perot Systems
SAIC, Inc.
Sun Microsystems
Symantec
|
The committee also reviewed compensation levels at the following
High Technology companies in the Towers Perrin TriComp survey
that have revenue levels similar to the Companys as the
second benchmark:
|
|
|
|
|
Advanced Micro Devices
Agilent Technologies
Applied Materials
Business Objects
Computer Associates
Corning
CSC
|
|
EMC
KLA-Tencor
Lenovo
Lexmark International
Micron Technology
NCR
Nortel Networks
|
|
Qualcomm
Seagate Technology
Texas Instruments
Western Digital
Yahoo
|
As a general proposition, total target compensation, as well as
each element of total target compensation, for the
Companys executive officers is intended to be consistent
with the median for persons holding comparable positions at the
benchmark companies. However, because the Compensation Committee
also takes into consideration both individual and corporate
performance, as well as a subjective assessment of the relative
complexity and strategic importance of any particular position
held, any given executive can be compensated at, above or below
the median benchmark levels. For 2009, base salaries and annual
incentive targets were generally in line with the benchmark
companies. For the reasons set forth below, long-term incentive
targets were below the benchmark levels, and, as a result, total
target compensation was below competitive levels.
Role of
Compensation Consultants and Management
To assist in carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation
Committee regularly consults with the committees outside
compensation consultant. Under its charter, the Compensation
Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate outside
compensation consultants, including sole authority to approve
the consultants fees and other retention terms. In 2009,
Watson Wyatt was the committees outside compensation
consultant. In this role, Watson Wyatt performed such duties as
were requested by the committee. Those duties consisted
primarily of providing market data and advice to the committee
that were used to determine executive and director compensation,
particularly analyses of the Companys executive and
director compensation in comparison to the benchmark companies.
Watson Wyatt spoke with the chairman of the
33
Compensation Committee, as well as with management, in preparing
for committee meetings, regularly attended committee meetings
and frequently met in executive session with the Compensation
Committee without the presence of management. As is discussed
more fully on page 13, effective January 1, 2010, the
committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners to act as its
outside compensation consultant.
The Compensation Committee also receives reports and
recommendations from management. In particular, the committee
solicits input from J. Edward Coleman, the Companys
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, regarding the compensation
of those executives reporting directly to him. In connection
with these recommendations, Mr. Coleman consults with the
Companys head of human resources and senior executive
compensation staff and meets periodically with the Compensation
Committees outside compensation consultant to review the
benchmark data. In addition, Mr. Coleman provides
recommendations, based on the Companys operating and
strategic plans, to the Compensation Committee related to the
corporate performance measures used in the Companys annual
and long-term incentive plans, as well as the recommended
threshold, target and maximum performance levels. In connection
with these recommendations, Mr. Coleman consults with the
Companys chief financial officer. Although
Mr. Coleman regularly attends Compensation Committee
meetings, his compensation package is considered by the
committee in an executive session without him present, using
data, analysis and advice provided by the outside compensation
consultant, and then reviewed and approved by the independent
members of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee
also meets from time to time in executive session with the
outside compensation consultant, but without the presence of
Mr. Coleman or any other members of management, to
consider, among other things, the compensation recommendations
proposed by Mr. Coleman.
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
Effective October 7, 2008, the Board of Directors elected
Mr. Coleman as the Companys Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer. In connection with his election, the
Company and Mr. Coleman entered into an employment
agreement dated October 6, 2008 (and amended on
December 22, 2008 to comply with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code) covering the terms and conditions of
Mr. Colemans employment. The agreement provides for a
minimum base salary of $972,000 per year, subject to periodic
review by the Board of Directors after receiving a
recommendation from the Compensation Committee. He is eligible
to receive an annual bonus award at a target bonus level of not
less than 125% of base salary. Except with respect to the first
six months of his employment, the actual bonus payable, if any,
will be determined by the Board in its sole discretion after
receiving a recommendation from the Compensation Committee and
will be based on Mr. Colemans attainment of
performance criteria to be determined annually by the Board and
the Compensation Committee. For the first six months of his
employment, the agreement guaranteed Mr. Coleman a bonus of
$607,500. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Coleman received,
on February 12, 2009, the grant of performance-based
restricted stock units (RSUs) that is described in
Grants of Plan-Based Awards on page 42.
Mr. Coleman is eligible to participate in the benefit
programs generally made available to executive officers and is
eligible to receive stock option and other long-term incentive
awards under the companys long-term incentive plans. For
so long as Mr. Colemans primary residence is not in
the Philadelphia metropolitan area, he will be provided with the
use of a company-paid apartment in the Philadelphia metropolitan
area for business purposes, the annual expense of which will be
approved annually by the Compensation Committee. Beginning in
2010, the Company will no longer provide Mr. Coleman a tax
reimbursement with respect to this apartment.

Principal
Components of Executive Officer Compensation
As set forth above, the principal elements of the Companys
executive compensation program consist of base salary,
short-term variable cash incentives and long-term incentive
compensation.
Base
Salary
Base salaries for elected officers are initially determined by
evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the
experience of the individual and comparing such salaries to the
benchmark compensation data. Thereafter, increases in salary can
be based on the Compensation Committees evaluation of any
number of factors, including the individuals level of
responsibility, individual performance, pay levels of both the
executive in question and other similarly situated executives
and the benchmark compensation data. In February 2009, when it
conducted its review of executive compensation, the Compensation
Committee determined that, except as set forth below, no elected
officers would receive salary increases in 2009 given economic
conditions and the Companys cost reduction program. In its
review, the committee also considered the relationship of
executive compensation at the Company to the benchmark
compensation data and determined that salaries that had been in
effect for 2008 for the Named Officers listed in the Summary
Compensation Table on page 41 remained generally consistent
with the median for the benchmark companies. Dominick Cavuoto,
who is one of the Named Officers, was elected an officer of the
Company in February 2009 and received a salary increase at that
time in connection with his election.
Variable
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
During 2009, all of the Companys elected officers were
eligible to receive annual and quarterly cash incentive
compensation through the Companys Executive Variable
Compensation Plan (the EVC Plan). Compensation under
the EVC Plan is at-risk compensation intended to
motivate and reward executives for the attainment of corporate
and/or
individual performance goals for the year. Under the plan, the
Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the
conditions (including performance objectives) applicable to
annual award payments and the amounts of such awards. The amount
of incentive compensation awards payable under the plan depends
upon (1) a participants target annual incentive,
(2) the amount of funding the Company makes available for
the plan and (3) individual performance. Individual targets
for elected officers are approved by the committee and are
intended to be competitive in the market for which the Company
competes for talent. They are therefore set at or around the
median for comparable positions at the benchmark companies. For
2009 target award amounts, which are typically stated as a
percentage of base salary, were as follows for the following
Named Officers: J. Edward Coleman 125%; Janet B.
Haugen 90%; Dominick Cavuoto 95%; Edward
C. Davies 95%; Richard C. Marcello 95%.
The extent to which the Company makes funding available for the
EVC Plan depends upon the degree to which the Company and, if
applicable, the individuals business unit, achieves
performance targets approved by the Compensation Committee at
the beginning of each year. For 2009, awards to executives at
the corporate level (Mr. Coleman and Ms. Haugen) were
funded based on the performance of the Company as a whole
against the performance targets; awards to executives with
responsibility for a business unit (Mr. Cavuoto,
Mr. Davies and Mr. Marcello) were funded 50% based on
the performance of the Company as a whole and 50% based on the
performance of the relevant business unit. In each instance, EVC
Plan funding was based 40% on quarterly performance and 60% on
full-year performance. EVC Plan awards with respect to
35
quarterly results were funded and paid after the end of each
quarter. Participants received their proportionate share of the
amounts funded with respect to quarterly awards.
Performance targets set for the Company as a whole for 2009 were
based on free cash flow and pre-tax profit. Each target was
weighted 50%. The committee also set threshold and, in the case
of annual performance, maximum performance levels for each
criterion, which would result in funding at 50% and 150% of
target, respectively, if achieved. No funding would be provided
by the Company in respect of a criterion if performance was
below the threshold level, except that the plan had a
catch-up
feature for quarterly periods that allowed participants to
receive payments for quarters in which targets were not fully
met if there was overachievement in later quarters.
The tables below summarize the performance measures, targets,
actual results and the percentage of target awards funded based
on these results with respect to 2009 EVC Plan awards based
solely on Company-wide performance.

Aggregate percentage of targets funded with respect to both
targets for all four quarters (inclusive of quarterly
catch-ups)
was 100%.
The above performance metrics include non-GAAP financial
measures. The Company defines free cash flow as cash from
operations less capital expenditures. Pre-tax profit excludes
retirement-related expenses and is calculated before the accrual
for variable compensation. In addition, both
36
the pre-tax profit and the cash flow goals were subject to
adjustment by the chief executive officer and the Compensation
Committee for one-time and extraordinary items such as
restructuring charges and gain or loss on divestitures. They
therefore will differ from the amounts shown on the
Companys financial statements.
The following tables summarize, for Mr. Coleman and
Ms. Haugen, amounts paid for 2009 with respect to the 2009
EVC Plan. Total target amounts for each individual represent the
percentage of base salary referred to in the first paragraph of
this section. Target amounts set forth opposite each metric
reflect the weightings of metrics and weightings between annual
and quarterly measurement periods discussed above.

For the other Named Officers, with respect to the portion of
awards based on business unit performance, the annual and
quarterly metrics for the applicable business unit were either
revenue and pre-tax profit (Mr. Cavuoto and
Mr. Marcello) or orders and pre-tax profit
(Mr. Davies). As with the metrics for Company performance,
(a) the business unit goals were subject to adjustment by the
chief executive officer and the Compensation Committee for
one-time and extraordinary items such as restructuring charges
and gain or loss on divestitures and (b) threshold and, in the
case of annual performance, maximum performance levels were set
for each criterion, which would result in funding at 50% and
150% of target, respectively, if achieved. The table below sets
forth the funding made available, as a percentage of target,
with respect to the performance of the business units of the
other Named Officers. The Company does not report publicly the
results of its various business units and does not believe that
disclosing the actual performance measures used would be
meaningful. Therefore the table below does not quantify the
business unit performance metrics.

Long-Term
Incentive Awards
Long-term incentives in the form of equity-based compensation
are intended to ensure that the Companys executives have a
continuing stake in the long-term success of the Company and to
align their interests with those of stockholders. They are also
used as a vehicle to attract, retain and motivate executives
responsible for the Companys long-term success. The
Company makes an annual long-term incentive grant to its
executives during the first quarter of the year and also may
38
make grants to newly hired employees in connection with their
employment. In 2009, long-term incentives generally took the
form of non-qualified stock options, although, as discussed
above, Mr. Coleman also received performance-based RSUs in
connection with his employment agreement. Long-term incentive
awards granted to each Named Officer in 2009 are described more
fully in Grants of Plan-Based Awards on page 42.
In 2009, the annual equity-based grant to executives was below
the median at the benchmark companies. Even though the Company
intends for each element of executive compensation to be
generally consistent with the median, in 2009, the Company did
not want to incur the additional compensation expense that would
have been required to be recorded if equity-based grants had
been made at that level. As a result, the value of the 2009
annual equity-based grant for elected officers was at
approximately 40% of the market median for the benchmark
companies.
Stock Ownership
Guidelines
Since 1998, the Company has had stock ownership guidelines in
place for elected officers in order to more closely link their
interests with those of stockholders. Under the guidelines, as
revised in 2005, elected officers are expected to own a
specified number of shares (adjusted to take into account the
Reverse Stock Split) of Unisys common stock as follows: chief
executive officer 20,000 shares; executive vice
presidents 7,500 shares; senior vice
presidents 4,500 shares; vice
presidents 2,500 shares. Stock options,
including vested stock options, and restricted stock units do
not count toward fulfillment of the ownership guidelines.
Officers are expected to meet the ownership guidelines by 2010,
or within five years of election for officers elected after
2005. The Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy of and
compliance with the guidelines on an annual basis, typically in
April. The number of shares owned by each of the Named Officers
is set forth in the stock ownership table on page 31.
Stock Option/RSU
Granting Practices
As set forth above, in 2009 long-term incentives generally took
the form of stock options. Most stock options are granted in the
annual grant made to executives, although options may also be
granted as part of the hiring process. Annual grants are
approved at a specified, regularly scheduled meeting of the
Compensation Committee early each year. For grants in the United
States, the grant date is no earlier than the date of the
meeting, and the exercise price is at least 100% of the fair
market value of Unisys common stock on the date of grant. The
dates of regularly scheduled board and committee meetings are
generally determined many months in advance as part of the
normal board calendaring process.
Stock options granted as part of the hiring process have a grant
date no earlier than the date of approval, have an exercise
price at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant
and, except as noted below, are approved by the Compensation
Committee or the Board of Directors. New hire stock option
grants are typically reviewed and approved by the Compensation
Committee at its regularly scheduled meetings. For these grants,
the date of grant is the date of the meeting, if the individual
receiving the grant has already commenced employment at Unisys.
If the individual has not yet commenced employment, the date of
grant is the business day following the individuals first
day of employment. The Compensation Committee has also delegated
to the Companys chief executive officer the authority to
grant a limited number of stock options during the year to
eligible individuals (other than the chief executive officer,
his direct reports and their direct reports). The
committees delegation of authority specifies that for
these stock options the grant date will be either (1) the
first business day of the month following the date of the chief
executive officers approval, if the individual has
commenced employment at Unisys, or (2) if the individual
has not yet
39
commenced employment, the first business day of the month
following the individuals date of hire. The chief
executive officer has no discretion with respect to choosing the
grant date, and in all cases, the date of grant occurs after the
date the grantee commences employment with Unisys.
From 2006 through 2008, long-term incentive awards primarily
took the form of RSUs. As with stock options, the principal
award was the annual grant to executives. This grant was made
during the first quarter of the year, at the time the
Compensation Committee approved the number of units to be
granted and finalized the performance criteria for
performance-based awards. As with stock options, RSUs may also
be granted as part of the hiring process. The same procedures
regarding the chief executive officers authority with
respect to, and the timing of, stock option grants to new
employees also apply to RSUs granted to new hires.
Other
Benefits
Elected officers participate in the retirement programs
discussed below under Pension Benefits and
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. In addition,
the Company provides death benefits to the beneficiaries of
executive officers. Perquisites provided to executive officers
include financial counseling/tax preparation services and an
annual physical examination.
Deductibility
of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a
$1 million annual limit on the amount of compensation that
may be deducted by the Company with respect to each Named
Officer employed as of the last day of the applicable year. The
limitation does not apply to compensation based on the
attainment of objective performance goals.
The 2003 Plan and the 2007 Plan permit, and the 2010 Plan will
permit, the Compensation Committee to design compensation awards
to Named Officers that will meet the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The committee
may grant awards under the plans that meet the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code at such times
as the committee believes that such awards are in the best
interests of the Company. The committee has considered the
impact of the deduction limitation and has determined that it is
not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders to
base compensation solely on objective performance criteria.
Rather, the committee believes that it should retain the
flexibility to base compensation on its subjective evaluation of
performance as well as on the attainment of objective goals.
Compensation
Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the
Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above with
management. Based on such review and discussion, the committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

(1)
|
|
Amounts shown include compensation
deferred under the Unisys Savings Plan or a Unisys deferred
compensation plan.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Amounts shown are the aggregate
grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with FASB
ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures.
For a discussion of the assumptions made in such valuation, see
note 16 to the Companys 2009 financial statements.
For more details on grants in 2009, see the Grants of Plan-Based
Awards Table below.
|
|
(3)
|
|
Amount shown for Mr. Coleman
for 2009 represents the grant date fair value of 90,000
(post-Reverse Stock Split) performance-based restricted stock
units granted on February 12, 2009 and assumes that target
performance goals will be met. Assuming that maximum performance
goals are met, the value of the award at date of grant would be
$857,250.
|
|
(4)
|
|
Amounts shown are the increase in
pension value only. For Ms. Haugen in 2008, there was a
decrease in pension value of $15,656 that is not reflected in
the table.
|
|
(5)
|
|
Amounts shown are tax
reimbursements, premiums paid for company-owned life insurance
policies and perquisites (unless the aggregate amount of
perquisites for an individual is less than $10,000). For 2009,
amounts consist of the following: Mr. Coleman
tax reimbursements of $35,057, life insurance premiums of
$155,256 and perquisites of $46,880, which consist of $41,400 in
respect of a company-paid apartment, personal use of company
aircraft and commuting expense; Ms. Haugen life
insurance premiums of $43,428; Mr. Cavuoto tax
reimbursements of $13,437, life insurance premiums of $74,064
and perquisites of $40,640, which consist of commuting expense;
Mr. Davies life insurance premiums of $52,690;
Mr. Marcello tax reimbursements of $699 and
life insurance premiums of $39,507.

Awards shown for Mr. Coleman under Estimated Future
Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards are
performance-based restricted stock units granted under the 2003
Plan. These awards were granted to Mr. Coleman in
accordance with his employment agreement described above in
Compensation Discussion and Analysis and were
approved by the Board on October 6, 2008. These restricted
stock units will vest one-third per year beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of grant if and to the extent that the
performance criteria that are established for making funding
available for the EVC Plan for each of 2009, 2010 and 2011,
respectively, are met and if Mr. Coleman is then employed
by the Company. The units will be converted into shares at a
rate of 0 to 1.5 shares per unit depending on the degree to
which the performance goals are met. On February 12, 2010,
the 30,000 units scheduled to vest on that date were
converted into 45,000 shares. See the discussion of the EVC
Plan for 2009 in Compensation Discussion and
Analysis above. For 2010, the EVC Plan performance
criteria are based 20% on revenue, 40% on pre-tax profit and 40%
on free cash flow. Performance criteria for 2011 have not yet
been set.
Awards shown above under All Other Option Awards are
non-qualified stock options granted under the 2007 Plan. These
options will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the date of
grant and 25% on the second and third anniversaries of the date
of grant if the individual is then employed by the Company or,
if not, has met certain age and service criteria.

Awards shown are performance-based
restricted stock units that vest if performance goals for the
relevant performance period are met and the individual is then
employed by the Company. The awards shown for Mr. Coleman

forth above, the 30,000 units scheduled to vest on

excess defined benefit plan available to all U.S. employees
who met eligibility requirements by December 31, 2006 and
whose qualified plan benefits are limited by the Internal
Revenue Code or limited because they have deferred compensation
under nonqualified plans. The plan is designed to make up for
the benefit shortfall created by the Internal Revenue Code
limits and the non-qualified deferrals of compensation.

The present value of the accumulated benefit has been determined
assuming benefits commence as of the earliest date at which each
executive is entitled to unreduced benefits. This is generally
the later of age 62 and achievement of vesting
requirements. However, for executives who are not eligible for
unreduced benefits prior to age 65, benefits are assumed to
commence at age 65. The calculations use the same actuarial
assumptions used for financial disclosure requirements for the
pension plans, except that the calculations assume that each of
the above individuals will remain with the Company until such
retirement date and therefore do not apply any decrements in
respect of termination, disability and the like. Assumptions as
to life expectancy are based on the RP2000 Mortality Table
projected to 2017 for healthy males and females. The discount
rate used is 6.11%. Where benefits are payable as a 50%
contingent annuity without actuarial reduction, which is the
case for Officer Plan participants who are married, benefits
have been valued using actuarial factors assuming 80% of plan
participants are married and assuming wives are three years
younger than husbands.
The following summarizes the benefits under the specific plans:
Unisys Pension
Plan
Prior to December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were
eligible to participate in the Pension Plan on the January 1 or
July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and one
year of service with Unisys.
The Pension Plan provides benefits under two benefit formulas:
1. For service beginning on or after January 1, 2003,
benefits accrue each year under a cash balance formula under
which a participants account is credited with an amount
equal to 4% of plan compensation. In addition, the account
balance is credited with interest on a monthly basis using the
annual interest rates on
5-Year
Constant Maturity Treasury Notes, plus 0.25%. Generally,
participants vest in the benefit after completion of three years
of service with Unisys. The vested cash balance benefit is
available for payment following termination of employment, and
the normal form of payment is a life annuity for single
participants (the participant receives the periodic amount
during his or her lifetime, with no survivor benefit payable
after his or her death), or an actuarially reduced 50%
contingent annuity for married participants (the participant
receives a reduced periodic benefit during his or her lifetime
to reflect the survivor payments, and the participants
surviving beneficiary receives 50% of the
46
periodic amount the participant received). Other annuity forms
are also available on an actuarially equivalent basis. The
benefit is also available in the form of a lump sum
distribution. All Named Officers who met plan eligibility
requirements are eligible for the cash balance benefit.
2. For employees hired prior to January 1, 2003,
benefits are also based on a career pay formula. Each year, the
annual accrued benefit payable to a participant at normal
retirement date (age 65) is increased by 1% of plan
compensation, plus 0.35% of plan compensation in excess of
one-half of the average Social Security taxable wage base for
the five preceding years. Participants ultimately are eligible
for the larger of: (a) the career pay formula through the
date of termination of employment or (b) the career pay
formula accrued through December 31, 2002 plus the cash
balance benefit described above. Generally, participants vest in
the benefit after completion of three years of service with
Unisys. The vested benefit is available for payment following
termination of employment and attainment of early retirement
eligibility (age 55). The benefit is reduced by 0.5% for
each month that the benefit commences prior to age 65.
Should the employee terminate employment after attainment of
both age 55 and 20 years of service with Unisys, the
benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the benefit
commences prior to age 62. The normal form of payment of
the vested career pay benefit is a life annuity for single
participants, or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity
for married participants. Other annuity forms are also available
on an actuarially equivalent basis. Ms. Haugen and
Mr. Cavuoto are eligible for the career pay benefit.
For both formulas, plan compensation is salary, commissions,
overtime pay, paid bonus and paid accrued and unused vacation.
Compensation includes amounts deferred on a before-tax basis
under the Unisys Savings Plan. Excluded from compensation are
severance payments, supplements, compensation deferred under a
non-qualified plan and other forms of extraordinary
compensation. Plan compensation is limited by
Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.
As of December 31, 2009, Ms. Haugen, Mr. Cavuoto
and Mr. Davies were vested in their Pension Plan benefit
and would have been eligible to immediately receive the cash
balance portion of their benefit upon termination of employment.
Mr. Cavuoto is eligible to receive an early retirement
benefit under the career pay formula.
Although benefits ceased to accrue under the Pension Plan
effective December 31, 2006, the cash balance accounts
continue to grow with interest credits.
Unisys
Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income
Plan
Prior to December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were
eligible to participate in the Supplemental Plan on the January
1 or July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and
one year of service with Unisys.
The Supplemental Plan provides benefits under the same
provisions as the Pension Plan except as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Plan compensation includes compensation deferred under
non-qualified plans and is not limited by Internal Revenue Code
Section 401(a)(17).
|
|
|
|
The benefit payable under the Pension Plan is applied as an
offset to the benefits available under the Supplemental Plan.
|
|
|
|
Benefits accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005 are
payable at the same time and form as the Pension Plan benefit.
Benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 are
payable following the later of (a) termination of
employment (or six months thereafter if the
|
47
|
|
|
|
|
individual is among the top 50 most highly compensated officers,
as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(Section 409A)) or (b) attainment of
age 55. Such benefit is payable in the form of a life
annuity for single participants, or an actuarially reduced 50%
contingent annuity for married participants. No optional forms
of benefit are currently available for benefits accrued or
vested on or after January 1, 2005 under the Supplemental
Plan.
|
As of December 31, 2009, Ms. Haugen, Mr. Cavuoto
and Mr. Davies were vested in their Supplemental Plan
benefit. Ms. Haugen was vested as of December 31, 2004
and is eligible to immediately receive the pre-2005 cash balance
portion of her benefit upon termination of employment.
Mr. Cavuoto is also eligible to receive an early retirement
benefit.
Although benefits ceased to accrue under the Supplemental Plan
effective December 31, 2006, the cash balance accounts
continue to grow with interest credits.
The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the
Supplemental Plan. If a change in control of the Company occurs,
the Company is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to
the present value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.
Unisys
Corporation Elected Officer Pension Plan
Only elected officers of Unisys are eligible to participate in
the Officer Plan. The Officer Plan was closed to entrants as of
December 31, 2006. As a result, Ms. Haugen is the only
Named Officer who is eligible for the plan.
The Officer Plan provides a gross annual accrued benefit equal
to 4% of final average compensation for each of the first
10 years of credited service, plus 1% of final average
compensation for each year of credited service in excess of 10
(but not in excess of 30), minus 50% of the participants
Social Security benefit. This benefit is reduced by 0.5% for
each month that the benefit commences prior to age 62. The
gross benefit is offset by the benefits payable under both the
Pension Plan and the Supplemental Plan.
Final average compensation is the average of the highest
consecutive 60 months of plan compensation out of the last
120 months of employment, but no compensation after
December 31, 2006 is included. Plan compensation is
identical to that used for the Supplemental Plan.
Benefits accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005 are
payable at the same time and form as the Pension Plan benefit.
Benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 are
payable following the later of (a) termination of
employment (or six months thereafter if the individual is among
the top 50 most highly compensated officers, as defined under
Section 409A) or (b) attainment of age 55. Such
benefit is payable in the form of a life annuity for single
participants, or a 50% contingent annuity, which is not
actuarially reduced, for married participants. No optional forms
of benefit are currently available for benefits accrued or
vested on or after January 1, 2005 under the Officer Plan.
Generally, benefits under the Officer Plan vest upon the
earliest to occur of (a) attainment of age 55 and
10 years of service with Unisys, (b) for executives
who were participants on or after January 1, 1997 and
before July 19, 2001, attainment of age 50 and five
years of service with Unisys or (c) a change in control of
Unisys. As of December 31, 2009, Ms. Haugen was vested
in her Officer Plan benefit.
The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the
Officer Plan. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the
Company is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the
present value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.

Unisys Savings
Plan
In conjunction with freezing the Pension Plan, Supplemental Plan
and Officer Plan defined benefit plans, effective
January 1, 2007, the Company increased its matching
contributions under the Unisys Savings Plan, which is a
tax-qualified defined contribution plan, to 100% of the first 6%
of eligible pay contributed by participants on a before-tax
basis. If a participant was not eligible to get the full amount
of this Company matching contribution under the Savings Plan
because his or her eligible pay exceeded the annual compensation
limits for qualified plans under the Internal Revenue Code, or
because the participant had deferred some compensation under the
Companys non-qualified 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan,
the Company automatically credited the participants
memorandum account under the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan
with an amount equal to 6% of such excess or deferred eligible
pay to make up for the Company matching contributions that were
not permitted under the Savings Plan.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company suspended matching
contributions under the Unisys Savings Plan and the credits to
the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan referred to above.
Non-Qualified
Deferred Compensation
The table below shows unaudited information with respect to
compensation of the Named Officers that has been deferred under
a plan that is not tax-qualified. Under the Companys
non-qualified deferred compensation plans, eligible employees
may defer until a future date payment of all or any portion of
their annual salary or bonus, as well as any vested share unit
award under one of the Companys long-term incentive plans.
Amounts deferred are recorded in a memorandum account for each
participant and are credited or debited with earnings or losses
as if such amounts had been invested in one or more of the
professionally managed investment options available under the
Unisys Savings Plan, as selected by the participant.
Participants may change their investment options at any time.
Account balances will be paid either in a single lump sum or in
annual installments, as elected by the participant. The
memorandum accounts are not funded, and the right to receive
future payments of amounts recorded in these accounts is an
unsecured claim against the Companys general assets.
However, the Company has established a grantor trust relating to
its pre-2005 non-qualified deferred compensation plan. If a
change in control of the Company occurs, the Company is required
to fund the trust in an amount equal to the aggregate account
balances under that plan.

Potential
Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Under the agreements and plans discussed below, the Named
Officers would be entitled to the following payments and
benefits upon termination of employment
and/or a
change in control of the Company.
Termination
Arrangements
As described above in Compensation Discussion and
Analysis the Company and J. Edward Coleman are parties to
an employment agreement covering the terms and conditions of
Mr. Colemans employment as Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement also provides
certain termination benefits to Mr. Coleman. Under the
agreement, if Mr. Colemans employment is terminated
by the Company without cause or by Mr. Coleman for good
reason (defined generally as a reduction in aggregate
compensation target, a reduction in duties or authority or
removal as chairman and chief executive officer),
Mr. Coleman will be entitled to receive an amount equal to
two times (1) his base salary (at its then current rate)
plus (2) his annual bonus (in an amount equal to the
average percentage of target bonus paid to him for the three
years preceding the employment termination date times the target
bonus amount in effect on the termination date). Subject to a
six-month delay under Section 409A if Mr. Coleman is
among the top 50 most highly compensated officers, this
termination payment is to be paid in a lump sum in cash within
30 days of the date of termination. Mr. Coleman and
his eligible dependents will also be entitled to receive medical
and dental coverage, at the same premium rates charged to active
employees, for up to two years following termination of
employment. To receive health coverage, Mr. Coleman will be
required to pay the full premium charged for the coverage. The
Company will then reimburse him the amount of the premium that
exceeds the amount he would have paid as an employee, plus a tax
gross-up on
that amount. Mr. Coleman will cease to be entitled to these
health coverage payments if he becomes employed with another
employer during such two-year period. In the event
Mr. Colemans employment is terminated by reason of
disability or death, all compensation and benefits under the
agreement will terminate, except that he or his estate will
receive benefits under the retirement, welfare, incentive,
fringe and perquisite programs generally available to executive
officers upon disability or death. If Mr. Colemans
employment is terminated for cause or by Mr. Coleman for
other than good reason, he will be entitled only to the benefits
provided to the companys executive employees upon a
similar termination of employment. The agreement includes
non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions
effective for 12 months from the date of termination of
employment. In the event Mr. Coleman breaches any of these
provisions, the Company will have the right to terminate any
termination payments due to him, and Mr. Coleman must repay
any termination payments made to him upon termination of his
employment without cause or for good reason. If
Mr. Colemans employment had terminated on the last
business day of 2009 under circumstances entitling him to the
payments described above, he would have been entitled to receive
a termination payment of $4,374,000. Total amounts payable to
Mr. Coleman in respect of medical and dental coverage for
two years would be approximately $49,600. Mr. Coleman is
also party to a change in control agreement with the Company, as
described below. He is not entitled to receive duplicate
payments under the change in control agreement and the above
agreement. In the event of a conflict, Mr. Coleman will be
entitled to benefits under the change in control agreement
unless the change in control agreement provides for the payment
of benefits under the employment agreement.
On February 9, 2010, the Company and Richard C. Marcello
entered into an agreement setting forth the terms of the
termination of Mr. Marcellos employment with the
Company. Under the agreement, Mr. Marcello will continue to
receive an amount equal to his monthly base salary until
50
August 31, 2010. This amount will be payable monthly in
accordance with the Companys normal payroll practices. If
Mr. Marcello obtains full-time employment before
August 31, 2010, Unisys will pay him any remaining monthly
payments due in a lump sum. The agreement also provides that
Mr. Marcello will be eligible to participate in an
outplacement program until August 31, 2010.
Change in
Control Agreements
The Company has entered into change in control employment
agreements with its elected officers. The agreements are
intended to retain the services of these executives and provide
for continuity of management in the event of any actual or
threatened change in control. A change in control is generally
defined as (1) the acquisition of 20% or more of Unisys
common stock, (2) a change in the majority of the Board of
Directors unless approved by the incumbent directors (other than
as a result of a contested election) and (3) certain
reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, liquidations or
dissolutions. Each agreement has a term ending on the third
anniversary of the date of the change in control and provides
that in the event of a change in control each executive will
have specific rights and receive certain benefits. Those
benefits include the right to continue in the Companys
employ during the term, performing comparable duties to those
being performed immediately prior to the change in control and
at compensation and benefit levels that are at least equal to
the compensation and benefit levels in effect immediately prior
to the change in control. For purposes of determining
compensation levels, base salary must be at least equal to the
highest salary paid or payable to the executive during the
12 months preceding the change in control, and bonus must
be at least equal to the highest bonus paid or payable to the
executive under the EVC Plan (or any comparable bonus or
retention amount under any predecessor or successor plan or
retention agreement) for the three fiscal years preceding the
change in control (the Recent Annual Bonus).
If, following a change in control, the Company terminates the
executive without cause or the executive terminates employment
for good reason (generally defined as a reduction in the
executives compensation or responsibilities or a change in
the executives job location), or if the executive
voluntarily terminates employment for any reason during the
30-day
period following the first anniversary of the date of the change
in control, the terminated executive will be entitled to receive
special termination benefits. For officers other than
Mr. Coleman, these benefits are as follows: (1) a
pro-rated bonus for the year in which the termination occurs
(based on the higher of (a) the Recent Annual Bonus and
(b) the annual bonus paid or payable for the most recent
fiscal year during the term of the agreement (such higher
amount, the Highest Annual Bonus)), (2) a lump
sum payment equal to three years base salary and bonus (based on
the highest salary paid or payable during the term of the
agreement and the Highest Annual Bonus), (3) a lump sum
payment equal to the excess of the actuarial value of the
pension benefit the executive would have accrued if the
executives employment had continued for three years after
the termination date over the actuarial value of the actual
pension benefit payable as of the termination date, (4) a
lump sum payment equal to the amount of premiums the Company
would have paid to continue the executive in the Companys
welfare (other than health) plans for the three-year period,
(5) for three years following the termination of
employment, continued eligibility for coverage under the
Companys health plans at the same premium rates applicable
to active employees and (6) outplacement services. To
receive health coverage, the executive will be required to pay
the full premium charged for the coverage. The Company will then
reimburse the executive the amount of the premium that exceeds
the amount the executive would have paid as an employee, plus a
tax gross-up
on that amount. Except as described below, if any payment or
distribution by the Company to the executive is determined to be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code, the executive is entitled to receive a
payment on an after-tax basis equal to the excise tax
51
imposed. However, if the
gross-up
payment in respect of the excise tax would not result in a net
after-tax benefit to the executive of at least $50,000, then no
gross-up
payment will be made, and the termination payments will be
reduced (a Cutback) to an amount that will not give
rise to the excise tax. The executive is under no obligation to
mitigate amounts payable under these agreements.
Mr. Coleman is entitled to the same special termination
benefits enumerated above, except that (a) the lump sum
payment referred to in (2) above will be equal to two years
salary and bonus, (b) the lump sum payment referred to in
(4) above will be for two years of welfare plan premiums
and (c) the continued eligibility for health coverage
referred to in (5) above will be for two years. In
addition, Mr. Colemans agreement does not provide for
any gross-up
for any excise tax imposed on any payment by the Company under
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The payments
will be reduced to avoid the imposition of the excise tax if
doing so would result in greater after-tax benefits to
Mr. Coleman.
If the Named Officers had become entitled to the special
termination benefits described above on the last business day of
2009, they would have received the following:

No bonuses under the EVC Plan were
paid to Ms. Haugen for 2006, 2007 or 2008. Therefore, the
numbers in the table for her do not include any amounts in
respect of bonus. If amounts paid to Ms. Haugen for 2006
under the Companys 2006 Turnaround Incentive Plan were
deemed to be bonus, the amount shown for pro-rata bonus would
have been $300,000. The amounts for lump sum salary and bonus
and excise tax
gross-up
shown in the table would have been adjusted accordingly, with
the result that the amount shown in the Total column
would have been $4,313,195 for Ms. Haugen.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Amount shown for Mr. Cavuoto
reflects a $58,123 Cutback in order to avoid the imposition of
the excise tax.
|
|

|
|
As set forth above, the
Companys defined benefit plans were frozen as of
December 31, 2006, and Company matching contributions to
the Unisys Savings Plan were suspended effective January 1,
2009.
|
|
(4)
|
|
The agreements provide for
reasonable outplacement services directly related to the
termination of the executives employment. The executive
may select the provider of outplacement services, and therefore
the costs actually incurred will vary by individual. The Company
believes that the amounts shown in this column are a reasonable
estimate of the potential costs of outplacement services.
|
|
(5)
|
|
Change in control payments are
assumed to consist of the amounts shown in the table, as well as
the value of any accelerated vesting of equity awards pursuant
to the terms of the Companys long-term incentive plans.
The calculations use a Federal excise tax rate of 20%, a Federal
income tax rate of 35%, a Medicare tax rate of 1.45% and the
current income tax rates for the states of residence of the
Named Officers.
|
|
(6)
|
|
Amounts shown in this column do not
include the value of the vested awards shown in the tables below
under Long-Term Incentive Plans.
|
Long-Term
Incentive Plans
Under the Companys long-term incentive plans, if a change
in control occurs, all time-based awards will become fully
vested and, depending on the applicable plan, either a pro-rata
portion (based on the completed portion of the related
performance cycle) or the full amount of the target amount of
performance-based awards will vest. In addition, all unvested
stock options will become immediately exercisable. If a change
in control had occurred on the last business day of 2009, the
52
Named Officers would have become vested in the following number
of restricted stock units, having the following values:

GENERAL
MATTERS
Section 16(a)
Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The Companys directors and officers are required to file
reports with the SEC concerning their ownership of Unisys equity
securities. During 2009, Anthony P. Doye, an officer of the
Company, had one late report covering one transaction.
Policy on
Confidential Voting
It is the Companys policy that all stockholder proxies,
ballots and voting materials that identify the vote of a
specific stockholder shall, if requested by that stockholder on
such proxy, ballot or materials, be kept permanently
confidential and shall not be disclosed to the Company, its
affiliates, directors, officers and employees or to any third
parties, except as may be required by law, to pursue or defend
legal proceedings or to carry out the purpose of, or as
permitted by, the policy. Under the policy, vote tabulators and
inspectors of election are to be independent parties who are
unaffiliated with and are not employees of the Company. The
policy provides that it may, under certain circumstances, be
suspended in the event of a proxy solicitation in opposition to
a solicitation of management. The Company may at any time be
informed whether or not a
53
particular stockholder has voted. Comments written on proxies or
ballots, together with the name and address of the commenting
stockholder, will also be made available to the Company.
Stockholder
Proposals and Nominations
Stockholder proposals submitted to the Company pursuant to
Rule 14a-8
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(Rule 14a-8)
for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2011 annual meeting
of stockholders must be received by the Company by
November 18, 2010.
Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2011
annual meeting and has not sought to include the proposal in the
Companys proxy materials pursuant to
Rule 14a-8
must deliver notice of the proposal to the Company no later than
January 29, 2011.
Any stockholder who intends to make a nomination for the Board
of Directors at the 2011 annual meeting must deliver to the
Company no later than January 28, 2011 (a) a notice
setting forth (i) the name, age, business and residence
addresses of each nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or
employment of each nominee, (iii) the number of shares of
Unisys capital stock beneficially owned by each nominee,
(iv) a statement that the nominee is willing to be
nominated and (v) any other information concerning each
nominee that would be required by the SEC in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of the nominee and
(b) the directors questionnaire, representation and
agreement required by Article I, Section 8 of the
Companys Bylaws.
Householding of
Proxy Materials
This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are
owners of Unisys common stock will be householding
our proxy materials. This means that only one copy of the Notice
and/or this
proxy statement and the 2009 annual report may have been sent to
you and the other Unisys stockholders who share your address.
Householding is designed to reduce the volume of duplicate
information that stockholders receive and the Companys
printing and mailing expenses.
If your household has received only one copy of the proxy
materials, and you would prefer to receive separate copies of
these documents, either now or in the future, please call us at
215-986-5777,
or write us at Investor Relations, A2-17, Unisys Corporation,
Unisys Way, Blue Bell, PA
19424-0001.
We will deliver separate copies promptly. If you are now
receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like
to have only one copy of these documents delivered to your
household in the future, please contact us in the same manner.
Other
Matters
At the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors
knows of no matter that will be presented for consideration at
the annual meeting other than those described in this proxy
statement. If any other matter properly comes before the annual
meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will vote thereon in
their discretion.
The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Such cost
will include charges by brokers and other custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries for forwarding proxies and proxy material to the
beneficial owners of Unisys common stock. Solicitation may also
be made personally or by telephone by the Companys
directors, officers and regular employees without additional
54
compensation. In addition, the Company has retained Innisfree
M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies
for a fee of approximately $15,000, plus expenses.

Nancy Straus Sundheim
Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Secretary

means a right granted pursuant to Section 7.
dd. STOCK OPTION or OPTION means an
option granted pursuant to Section 6.
ee. SUBSIDIARY shall have the meaning set forth
in Section 424(f) of the Code.
ff. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT means the
voluntary or involuntary termination of a Participants
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate (or, in
the case of a non-employee director, termination of service on
the Board) for any reason, including death, disability,
retirement or as a result of the divestiture of the
Participants employer or any similar transaction in which
the Participants employer ceases to be the Company or one
of its
E-3
Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine whether a Termination of Employment
is a result of disability, and shall determine whether military
or other government or eleemosynary service constitutes a
Termination of Employment. To the extent necessary,
Termination of Employment will be limited to those
circumstances that constitute a separation from
service within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code.
In addition, the terms Business Combination,
Change in Control, Incumbent Board,
Outstanding Stock, Outstanding Voting
Securities and Person have the meanings set
forth in Section 11.
Section 2. Administration
The Plan will be administered by the Committee, which will have
the power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules and
guidelines for carrying out the Plan, as it may deem
appropriate. The Committee will have the authority to adopt such
modifications, procedures and subplans, consistent with the
objectives of the Plan, as may be necessary or desirable to
comply with the laws, regulations, practices and tax and
accounting principles of the countries in which the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate may operate
and/or to
assure the economic viability of Awards made to individuals
employed in such countries.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will have the
authority to determine those individuals eligible to receive
Awards and the amount, type and terms of each Award and to
establish and administer any Performance Goals applicable to
such Awards, but, at the discretion of the Board, these
determinations may be made subject to ratification by the Board.
The Committee may delegate its authority and power under the
Plan in whole or in part to a subcommittee consisting of two or
more non-employee directors who are outside
directors within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code. The Committee may similarly delegate its authority or
power under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company,
subject to guidelines prescribed by the Committee, with respect
to Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and who are not covered employees
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated
authority in accordance with the provisions of the Plan with
respect to any Award will be made in the sole discretion of the
Committee or such delegate, and all decisions made by the
Committee or any appropriately designated officer pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan will be final and binding on all
persons, including the Company and Plan Participants, but
subject to ratification by the Board if the Board so provides.
Section 3. Eligible
Participants
Participants in the Plan shall be such employees of the Company
and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including elected officers,
and non-employee directors of the Company, that are selected by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time to
receive an Award under the Plan. The Plan is discretionary in
nature, and the grant of Awards by the Committee is voluntary
and occasional. The Committees selection of an eligible
employee to receive an Award in any year or at any time shall
not require the Committee to select such employee to receive an
Award in any other year or at any other time. The selection of
an employee to receive one type of Award under the Plan does not
require the Committee to select such employee to receive any
other type of Award under the Plan. The Committee shall consider
such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and
in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards.
E-4
Section 4. Stock
Subject to Plan
(a) NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of
Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan will be
4.0 million shares. Any or all of the authorized shares may
be issued pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options awarded
under the Plan, and all such shares may be issued pursuant to
the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. If any Award is cashed
out or exercised or terminates or expires without a payment
being made to the Participant in the form of Stock, the shares
subject to such Award, if any, will again be available for
issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however:
(1) (i) shares of Stock tendered in payment of the
exercise price of an Option, (ii) shares of Stock withheld
by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with
respect to an Award, and (iii) shares of Stock that are
repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds
of the exercise of an Option, may not again be available for
issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan.
(2) if the Spread Value of a SAR is paid in shares of
Stock, the shares representing the excess, if any, of
(i) the number of shares of Stock subject to the SAR over
(ii) the number of shares of Stock delivered in payment of
the Spread Value may not again be available for issuance in
connection with Awards under the Plan.
(b) ADJUSTMENTS. The following adjustments may
be to the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under
the Plan, the number, kind and price of shares subject to
outstanding Awards and the Award limits under the Plan:
(1) In the event of any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split,
split-up,
spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other change in
corporate structure affecting the Stock after adoption of the
Plan by the Board, the aggregate number and kind of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan, the number, kind and price
of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the Award limits set
forth in Sections 4 and 5 shall be proportionately
substituted for or adjusted to reflect such change in corporate
structure, provided, however, that any such substitutions or
adjustments will be consistent with the treatment of shares of
Stock not subject to the Plan, and with respect to Stock Options
and SARs, such that (i) on an aggregate basis, the Spread
Value with respect to such Stock Options or SARs immediately
after the change does not exceed the Spread Value immediately
before the change, (ii) on a share by share basis, the
ratio of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to
such Stock Options or SARs to the exercise price for such shares
is not more favorable to the Participant immediately after the
change as compared to such ratio immediately before the change,
(iii) to the extent new Stock Options or SARs are granted,
any old, related Stock Options or SARs shall be cancelled,
(iv) all other terms of the Stock Options or SARs remain
the same except to the extent they become inoperative by reason
of the transaction, and (v) no additional benefits are
provided under any new or adjusted Stock Options or SARs.
(2) The Board may also make adjustments as described above
in the event of any distribution of assets to shareholders other
than a normal cash dividend.
In determining adjustments to be made under this Section 4,
the Board may take into account such factors as it deems
appropriate, including (i) the restrictions of applicable
law, (ii) the potential tax consequences of an adjustment
and (iii) the possibility that some Participants might
receive an adjustment and a distribution or other unintended
benefit, and in light of such factors or circumstances may make
adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among
outstanding Awards, modify vesting dates, defer the delivery of
stock certificates or make other
E-5
equitable adjustments. Any such adjustments to outstanding
Awards will be effected in a manner that precludes the
enlargement of rights and benefits under such Awards.
Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations,
including any determination of whether a distribution is other
than a normal cash dividend, made by the Board shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
Section 5. Awards General
Terms and Limitations
(a) AWARDS GRANTED AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. The
exercise price of a Stock Option and the grant price of an SAR
may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant. In addition, to the extent that the value of an Other
Stock-Based Award is based on Spread Value, the grant price for
the Other Stock-Based Award may not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in connection with any reorganization, merger,
consolidation or similar transaction in which the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company is a surviving
corporation, the Committee may grant Stock Options, SARs or
Other Stock-Based Awards in substitution for similar awards
granted under a plan of another party to the transaction and may
adjust Awards under this Plan, and in such a case the exercise
price or grant price of the substituted Stock Options, SARs or
Other Stock-Based Awards granted by the Company may equal or
exceed 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant
reduced by any unrealized gain existing as of the date of the
transaction in the option, stock appreciation right or other
award being replaced; provided, however, that the exercise
price, grant price or other adjustment does not exceed the price
or adjustment permitted for the grant not to be considered a new
grant in accordance with regulations under Section 409A of
the Code and Section 424 of the Code for an Incentive Stock
Option.
(b) ANNUAL AWARD LIMITATION. The total number of
shares of Restricted Stock and other shares of Stock subject to
or underlying Stock Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards
awarded to any Participant during any year may not exceed
(i) 600,000 shares, multiplied by (ii) the number
of calendar years during which the Participant was eligible to
participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 3 above,
and reduced by (iii) the number of shares with respect to
which the Participant has received awards of Restricted Stock,
Stock Options, SARs
and/or Other
Stock-Based Awards under the Plan. An Annual Incentive Award
paid to a Participant with respect to any Performance Cycle may
not exceed $5,000,000. A Long-Term Incentive Award paid to a
Participant with respect to any Performance Cycle may not exceed
$3,000,000 times the number of years in the Performance Cycle.
(c) PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. In the discretion
of the Committee, any Award granted pursuant to the Plan may be
designated as a performance-based award intended to qualify,
through the application of Performance Goals over a specified
Performance Cycle, as performance-based compensation
within the meaning of Code Section 162(m).
(d) MINIMUM VESTING PERIODS. Except in the case
of a new-hire Award or under such other circumstances deemed
appropriate by the Committee, no Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right, Restricted Share Award or Other Stock-Based
Award may be granted with a vesting period of less than one year.
Section 6. Stock
Options
(a) STOCK OPTION AWARDS. A Stock Option
represents the right to purchase a share of Stock at a
predetermined exercise price. Stock Options granted under the
Plan will be in the form of Incentive Stock Options or
Nonqualified Stock Options. The terms and conditions of each
Stock Option Award, including the Stock Option term, exercise
price, applicable vesting periods and any other
restrictions/conditions on exercise, will be determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee and will be set forth in an
Award agreement.
E-6
(b) DURATION OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options
will terminate after the first to occur of the following:
(1) Expiration of the Stock Option as provided in the
applicable Award agreement;
(2) Termination of the Stock Option Award, as provided in
Section 6(d), following the Participants Termination
of Employment; or
(3) Ten years from the date of grant.
(c) ACCELERATION/EXTENSION OF EXERCISE TIME. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but
shall not in any case be obligated) to permit purchase of shares
under any Stock Option prior to the time such Option would
otherwise vest under the terms of the applicable Award
agreement. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated) to
permit any Stock Option granted under the Plan to be exercised
after its termination date described in Section 6(d), but
in no event later than the last day of the term of the Stock
Option as set forth in the applicable Award agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee will not extend the
exercise period of any Option to the extent that the extension
would cause the Option to be considered nonqualified deferred
compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A of
the Code.
(d) EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6(d) or in Section 6(c), or as otherwise
expressly provided in a Participants Award agreement as
authorized by the Committee, the right of the Participant to
exercise Stock Options shall terminate upon the
Participants Termination of Employment, regardless of
whether or not the Stock Options were vested in whole or in part
on the date of Termination of Employment.
(1) Disability or Normal Retirement. Upon a
Participants Termination of Employment by reason of
disability or retirement on or after
his/her
Normal Retirement Date, a Participant may, within five years
after the Termination of Employment, exercise all or a part of
his/her
Stock Options that were vested upon such Termination of
Employment (or which became vested at a later date pursuant to
Section 6(d)(3) below). In no event, however, may any Stock
Option be exercised later than the last day of the term of the
Stock Option as set forth in the applicable Award agreement.
(2) Death. In the event of the death of a
Participant while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or
Affiliate, or within the additional period of time from the date
of Termination of Employment and prior to the termination of the
Stock Option as permitted under Section 6(d)(1) or
Section 6(d)(3)(B), to the extent that the right to
exercise the Stock Option had vested as of the date of the
Participants death, the right of the Participants
Beneficiary to exercise the vested portion of the Stock Option
shall expire on the earliest of (A) five years from the
date of the Participants death, (B) five years from
the date of the Participants Termination of Employment,
(C) the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set
forth in the applicable Award agreement or (D) such other
date set forth in the Award agreement as authorized by the
Committee.
(3) Termination of Employment at Age 55 with Five
Years of Service. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 6 to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award agreement, if Termination of Employment occurs
after the Participant has attained age 55 and completed
five years of service with the Company
and/or its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates and Termination of Employment is not
for Cause, (A) the Participant shall continue to vest in
each of
his/her
Stock Options in accordance with the vesting schedules set forth
in the applicable Award agreements, and (B) the Participant
may exercise
his/her
Stock Options, to the extent that the Stock Options have vested
as of the Termination of Employment or thereafter in accordance
with
E-7
Section 6(d)(3)(A), for a period of five years from the
date of the Participants Termination of Employment. In no
event, however, may any Stock Option be exercised later than the
last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the
applicable Award agreement.
(e) EXERCISE PROCEDURES. Subject to the
applicable Award agreement, Stock Options may be exercised, in
whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company or its designee specifying the number of shares to be
purchased. This notice must be accompanied by payment in full of
the exercise price by certified or bank check or such other
instrument as the Company or its designee may accept. If
authorized by the Committee, payment in full or in part may also
be made (1) in the form of Stock already owned by the
Participant valued at the Fair Market Value on the date the
Stock Option is exercised, or (2) through a cashless
exercise program authorized by the Company.
(f) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan, the Committee may designate, at
the time of grant, that the Stock Option is an Incentive Stock
Option under Section 422 of the Code. Whenever possible,
each provision of the Plan and applicable Award agreement shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to entitle the Stock Option
to the tax treatment afforded by Section 422 of the Code.
If any provision of the Plan or any Option designated by the
Committee as an Incentive Stock Option shall be held not to
comply with requirements necessary to entitle such Option to
such tax treatment, then (1) such provision shall be deemed
to have contained from the outset such language as shall be
necessary to entitle the Option to the tax treatment afforded
under Section 422 of the Code, and (2) all other
provisions of the Plan and the Award agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. If any agreement covering a Stock Option
designated by the Committee to be an Incentive Stock Option
under this Plan shall not explicitly include any terms required
to entitle such Incentive Stock Option to the tax treatment
afforded by Section 422 of the Code, all such terms shall
be deemed implicit in the designation of such Option and the
Option shall be deemed to have been granted subject to all such
terms. In no event will an Option that is not specifically
designated as an Incentive Stock Option be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option.
Section 7. Stock
Appreciation Rights
(a) STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AWARDS. A SAR
represents the right to receive a payment, in cash, shares of
Stock or both (as determined by the Committee), equal to the
Spread Value on the date the SAR is exercised. The grant price
of a SAR and all other applicable terms and conditions will be
established by the Committee in its sole discretion and will be
set forth in the applicable Award agreement. Subject to the
terms of the applicable Award agreement, a SAR will be
exercisable, in whole or in part, by giving written notice of
exercise to the Company, but in no event will a SAR be
exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the date on
which it was granted.
Section 8. Restricted
Stock
(a) RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS. The Committee may
grant to any Participant an Award of shares of Common Stock in
such quantity, and on such terms, conditions and restrictions
(whether based on Performance Goals, periods of service or
otherwise) as the Committee shall establish in its sole
discretion. The terms of any Restricted Share Award granted
under this Plan shall be set forth in an Award agreement.
(1) Issuance of Restricted Stock. As soon as
practicable after the date of grant of a Restricted Share Award
by the Committee, the Company shall register in the books of the
Company, shares of Common Stock, evidencing the shares of
Restricted Stock covered by the Award, but subject to forfeiture
to the Company as of the date of grant if an Award agreement
with respect to the
E-8
Restricted Stock covered by the Award is not duly executed by
the Participant and timely returned to the Company. At the
discretion of the Company, the shares will be registered on
behalf of the Participant in book entry form or will be
registered in the name of the Participant with a stock
certificate, appropriately legended to reference the applicable
restrictions, duly issued. All shares of Common Stock covered by
Awards under this Section 8 shall be subject to the
restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Award
agreement.
(2) Stockholder Rights. Beginning on the date of
grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of
the Award agreement provided for in Section 8(a)(1), the
Participant will become a stockholder of the Company with
respect to all shares represented under the Award agreement and
shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, but
not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to
receive any dividends (or dividend equivalents) paid on such
shares; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock
distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any
shares of Restricted Stock as to which the restrictions have not
yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such
Restricted Stock and shall be represented by book entry and held
as prescribed in this Section 8.
(3) Restriction on Transferability. None of the
shares of Restricted Stock may be assigned or transferred (other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or to an
inter vivos trust with respect to which the Participant is
treated as the owner under Sections 671 through 677 of the
Code), pledged or sold prior to the lapse of the restrictions
applicable to the shares.
(4) Delivery of Shares Upon Vesting. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Restricted Period
without forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any
other conditions prescribed by the Committee, or at such earlier
time as provided under the provisions of Section 8(b)(2),
the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock shall lapse.
As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, the Company
shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the
Participants death, to the Participants Beneficiary,
a stock certificate for the appropriate number of shares of
Common Stock, free of all such restrictions, except for any
restrictions that may be imposed by law, unless the Company has
made arrangements to have shares of Common Stock held at a bank
or other appropriate institution in non-certified form. The
appropriate number of shares shall equal the number of shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to which the restrictions have
lapsed, less the number of shares of Common Stock whose Fair
Market Value as of the date on which the restrictions lapse is
equal to such amount as is determined by the Company to be
sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements. The Company shall remit in a
timely manner to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount
so withheld. Although the Stock certificate delivered to the
Participant or the Participants Beneficiary will be for a
net number of shares, the Participant or the Participants
Beneficiary shall be considered, for tax purposes, to have
received a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the full
number of shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the
restrictions have lapsed.
(b) TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK.
(1) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Subject to
Section 8(b)(2) and Section 11, all of the shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to a Restricted Share Award shall
be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the
Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock shall
terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the
Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate as an employee or a
non-employee director until the expiration of the Restricted
Period and satisfies any other conditions set forth in the Award
agreement.
(2) Waiver of Restricted Period. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the Restricted
Period and any other
E-9
conditions set forth in any Award agreement under certain
circumstances (including the death, disability or retirement of
the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising
after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and
conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of
the shares of Restricted Stock) as the Committee shall deem
appropriate.
Section 9. Other
Stock-Based Awards
(a) OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee may
grant Awards, other than Stock Options, SARs or Restricted Share
Awards, that are denominated in, valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Stock. The
purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of Other Stock-Based
Awards granted under this Section 9 and all other terms and
conditions applicable to the Awards will be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion and will be set forth in an
applicable Award agreement.
Section 10. Incentive
Awards
(a) INCENTIVE AWARDS. Incentive Awards are
performance-based Awards that are expressed in
U.S. currency, but that may be payable in the form of cash,
Stock or a combination of both. Incentive Awards may be either
Annual Incentive Awards or Long-Term Incentive Awards. The
target amount of the Award, the Performance Goals and applicable
Performance Cycle, the form of payment and other terms and
conditions applicable to an Incentive Award will be determined
in the sole discretion of the Committee and will be set forth in
an Award agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
an Award agreement, payment with respect to an Incentive Award
will be made during the calendar year following the year in
which the Performance Cycle to which the Incentive Award relates
ends.
Section 11. Change
in Control Provisions
(a) IMPACT OF EVENT. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, and except to the extent
expressly provided otherwise in an Award agreement, in the event
of a Change in Control:
(1) Stock Options. In the event of a
Participants Termination of Employment either
involuntarily by the Company, other than for Cause, or for Good
Reason within two years following the date of the Change in
Control, all of the Participants Stock Options outstanding
as of the date of
his/her
Termination of Employment will become fully vested and will be
exercisable in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee. The provisions of this Section 11(a)(1) will not
be applicable to any Stock Options granted to a Participant if
the Change in Control results from the Participants
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of Stock or Voting Securities.
(2) Stock Appreciation Rights. In the event of a
Participants Termination of Employment either
involuntarily by the Company, other than for Cause, or for Good
Reason within two years following the date of the Change in
Control, all of the Participants SARs outstanding as of
the date of
his/her
Termination of Employment will become fully vested and will be
exercisable in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee. The provisions of this Section 11(a)(2) will not
be applicable to any SARs granted to a Participant if the Change
in Control results from the Participants beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of Stock or Voting Securities.
(3) Restricted Stock. The restrictions and other
conditions applicable to any shares of Restricted Stock held by
a Participant will lapse and the shares of Restricted Stock will
become fully vested in the event of the Participants
Termination of Employment either involuntarily by
E-10
the Company, other than for Cause, or for Good Reason within two
years following the date of the Change in Control.
(4) Incentive Awards. Any Incentive Awards relating
to Performance Cycles before the Performance Cycle in which the
Change in Control occurs that have been earned but not paid will
become immediately payable in cash upon the Change in Control.
In addition, in the event of a Participants Termination of
Employment either involuntarily by the Company, other than for
Cause, or for Good Reason within two years following the date of
the Change in Control, any Incentive Award awarded to the
Participant for a Performance Cycle that has not been completed
at the time of
his/her
Termination of Employment will be deemed to be satisfied at the
target level for the Performance Cycle, and payment with respect
to the Incentive Award will be made in cash upon the Termination
of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee
in its sole discretion determines that any Incentive Award would
be considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then a
Participants entitlement to payment with respect to the
Incentive Award will be determined as described above in this
Section 11(a)(4), but payment with respect to such
Incentive Award for a Participant who is a specified
employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code and as designated by the Committee will be made on the
first day of the seventh month following the date of the
Participants Termination of Employment.
(5) Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based
Awards that vest solely on the basis of the passage of time will
be treated in connection with a Change in Control in the same
manner as are Restricted Share Awards, as described in
Section 11(a)(3) above. Other Stock-Based Awards that vest
on the basis of the satisfaction of performance criteria will be
treated in connection with a Change in Control in the same
manner as are Incentive Awards, as described in
Section 11(a)(4) above, except that payment will be made
only in shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Committee in its sole discretion determines that any Other
Stock-Based Award would be considered nonqualified deferred
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, then a Participants entitlement to payment with
respect to the Other Stock-Based Award will be determined as
described above in this Section 11(a)(5), but payment with
respect to such Other Stock-Based Award for a Participant who is
a specified employee within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and as designated by the Committee
will be made on the first day of the seventh month following the
date of the Participants Termination of Employment.
(b) DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. A
Change in Control means any of the following events:
(1) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Exchange Act (a Person)) of beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either
(A) the then outstanding shares of Stock (the
Outstanding Stock) or (B) the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
Outstanding Voting Securities), provided, however,
that the following acquisitions will not constitute a Change in
Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company,
(2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any
acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company or (4) any acquisition by any
corporation pursuant to a transaction described in clauses (A),
(B) and (C) of paragraph (3) of this
Section 11(b); or
E-11
(2) Individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan,
constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board,
provided, however, that any individuals becoming a
director after the effective date of the Plan whose election, or
nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though the
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
for this purpose, any individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election
contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or
other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
(3) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation or sale or disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company (a Business
Combination), unless, in each case following such Business
Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners,
respectively, of the Outstanding Stock and Outstanding Voting
Securities immediately before the Business Combination
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from
such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a
corporation that as a result of the transaction owns the Company
or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company either
directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
Outstanding Stock and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case
may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan
(or related trust) of the Company or the corporation resulting
from the Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from the
Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the corporation except to the
extent that the Person owned 20% or more of the Outstanding
Stock or Outstanding Securities before the Business Combination,
and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of
directors of the corporation resulting from the Business
Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of
the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the
Board, providing for the Business Combination; or
(4) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
Section 12. Plan
Amendment and Termination
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time,
provided that no such amendment will be made without stockholder
approval if such approval is required under applicable law, or
if such amendment would increase the total number of shares of
Stock that may be distributed under the Plan. Except as
otherwise provided under Section 4, Stock Options may not
be repriced (whether through modification of the exercise price
of the Stock Option after the date of grant or through an option
exchange program) without the approval of the Companys
stockholders.
Except as set forth in any Award agreement, no amendment or
termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect any
outstanding Award under the Plan without the Award
recipients consent.
E-12
Section 13. Payments
and Payment Deferrals
Payment of Awards may be in the form of cash, Stock, other
Awards or combinations thereof as the Committee may determine,
and with such restrictions as it may impose. The Committee,
either at the time of grant or by subsequent amendment, may
require or permit deferral of the payment of Awards under such
rules and procedures as it may establish. It also may provide
that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of
interest or other earnings on the deferred amounts, or the
payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred
amounts are denominated in Stock equivalents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (a) no action will be taken or authorized
pursuant to this Section 13 to the extent that it would
violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or
cause any Stock Option or SAR to be considered to provide for
the deferral of compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code, and (b) the Committee shall
not provide for a cash buyout of any Options or the cancellation
of any Options for a payment in cash at a time when the Spread
Value with respect to the Stock Options is less than zero
without stockholder approval.
Section 14. Dividends
and Dividend Equivalents
The Committee may provide that any Awards under the Plan, other
than Stock Options or SARs, earn dividends or dividend
equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid
currently or may be credited to a Participants Plan
account. Any crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may
be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee
may establish, including reinvestment in additional shares of
Stock or Stock equivalents to the extent permitted by applicable
law. Any grant of dividends or dividend equivalents to the
extent the grant is made to a Participant who is or could be
subject to Section 409A of the Code with respect to such
grant or any Award to which the grant is related shall be made
on such terms either that shall comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code or that are not subject to
Section 409A of the Code.
Section 15. Transferability
Except to the extent permitted by the Award agreement, either
initially or by subsequent amendment, Awards will not be
transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the
lifetime of the recipient only by the recipient.
Section 16. Award
Agreements
Each Award under the Plan will be evidenced by a written
agreement (which need not be signed by the recipient unless
otherwise specified by the Committee or otherwise provided under
the Plan) that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations
for each Award. Such terms may include, but are not limited to,
the term of the Award, vesting and forfeiture provisions, and
the provisions applicable in the event of the recipients
Termination of Employment. The Committee may amend an Award
agreement, provided that no such amendment may materially and
adversely affect an outstanding Award without the Award
recipients consent.
Section 17. Unfunded
Status of Plan
It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an
unfunded plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts
or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the
Plan to deliver Stock or make payments; however, unless the
Committee otherwise determines, the structure of such trusts or
other arrangements must be consistent with the
unfunded status of the Plan.
E-13
Section 18. General
Provisions
(a) The Committee may require each person acquiring shares
of Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the
Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares
without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for
such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
All certificates for shares of Common Stock or other securities
delivered under the Plan will be subject to such stock transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem
advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of
the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then
listed and any applicable Federal, state or foreign securities
law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put
on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.
Payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall not be made unless
the payment and the issuance and delivery of shares of Stock
pursuant thereto comply with all relevant provisions of law,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon
which the Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject
to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
(b) Nothing contained in this Plan will prevent the Company
or a Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional
benefit arrangements for its employees or directors.
(c) The adoption of the Plan will not confer upon any
employee any right to continued employment nor will it interfere
in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or
Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any
time. To the extent that an employee of a Subsidiary or
Affiliate receives an Award under the Plan, that Award can in no
event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is
the employees employer or that the employee has an
employment relationship with the Company.
(d) Except as otherwise provided under
Section 8(a)(4), no later than the date as of which an
amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the
Participant for Federal, state, local, or foreign income or
social security tax purposes with respect to any Award under the
Plan, the Participant will pay to the Company, or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment
of, any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding
obligations arising from an Award may be settled with Stock,
including Stock that is part of, or is received upon exercise or
conversion of, the Award that gives rise to the withholding
requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will
be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company
and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment
otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee may establish
such procedures as it deems appropriate, including the making of
irrevocable elections, for the settling of withholding
obligations with Stock.
(e) On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee
may elect to cash out all or a portion of the shares of Stock
for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the
Participant an amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the Spread
Value of such shares on the date such notice of exercise is
received.
(f) All notices of Good Reason to the Company, requests for
hearings by the Committee with respect to a termination for
Cause and any other communications to the Company related
thereto
E-14
shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery or by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage

or to such other address as the Company shall have furnished to
the Participant in writing. All notices and communications
hereunder shall be effective when actually received by the
addressee.
(g) The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken
thereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to
Pennsylvanias conflict of laws rules.
(h) If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or
unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability will not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be
enforced and construed as if such provision had not been
included.
(i) Any reference in the Plan to a provision of the Code,
the Exchange Act or other law may be interpreted by the
Committee, in its discretion, to encompass any successor
provision of the law.
(j) If approved by stockholders of the Company, the Plan
will be effective as of April 29, 2010.
(k) No Award may be granted under the Plan after
April 28, 2020.
