CEO Performance Award

On June 15, 2017, DXC Technology Company (the “Company”) granted a performance-based equity award (the “Performance Award”) to J. Michael Lawrie, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, with a total grant-date value of $15,000,000. The Performance Award is in the form of 195,771 performance-vested restricted stock units (“PSUs”).

Upon vesting, each PSU will entitle Mr. Lawrie to receive one share of the Company’s common stock and any related dividend equivalents. Vesting of the Performance Award is contingent on Mr. Lawrie’s continued employment with the Company and the attainment of the Company’s 3-year ("Fiscal Year 2020") earnings per share ("EPS") growth objectives as follows:

FY2020 EPS Attainment
Portion of Award that Vests
$9.50 or greater
100%
$9.00 to $9.49
80%
$8.75 to $8.99
60%
< $8.75
0%

Mr. Lawrie generally must remain employed with the Company through the date on which the Company certifies the Company’s Fiscal Year 2020 EPS results in order to vest in the applicable portion of the Performance Award. If Mr. Lawrie dies or becomes disabled at any time during the performance period, a pro rata portion of 100% of the Performance Award will vest based on Mr. Lawrie’s service during the performance period. If Mr. Lawrie experiences a Qualifying Termination (as defined in his employment agreement with the Company) after the first year of the performance period, the Performance Award will remain outstanding and Mr. Lawrie will be eligible to vest in the entirety of the award after the end of Fiscal Year 2020 based on the Company’s Fiscal Year 2020 EPS achievement. If Mr. Lawrie experiences a voluntary termination without Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement with the Company) after the first year of the performance period, the Performance Award will remain outstanding and Mr. Lawrie will be eligible to vest in a pro-rata portion of the award after the end of Fiscal Year 2020 based on the Company’s Fiscal Year 2020 EPS achievement and Mr. Lawrie’s service during the performance period.

If the Company experiences a change of control at any time during the performance period, 100% of the Performance Award will convert to service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and will continue to vest over the remaining performance period, subject to accelerated vesting upon termination of Mr. Lawrie’s employment without cause or due to death, disability or retirement within 2 years after the change in control.
