Common use of PSUs Clause in Contracts

PSUs. (a) Effective as of the Distribution Date, each L Brands PSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date and held by a VS Participant who is not a Former VS Employee shall be converted into a performance share unit with respect to VS Common Stock (each, a “VS PSU”). The number of shares of VS Common Stock subject to such VS PSU shall be determined by the L Brands Compensation Committee in a manner intended to preserve (and without enlarging) the value of such L Brands PSU by taking into account the relative values of the L Brands Pre-Distribution Stock Value and the VS Stock Value. Each such VS PSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and payment schedules); provided that (i) any such VS PSUs that correspond to L Brands PSUs granted prior to January 30, 2021 shall be deemed to have achieved the applicable performance-based vesting conditions at the target performance level and (ii) any such VS PSUs that correspond to L Brands PSUs granted on or following January 30, 2021 shall remain subject to the applicable performance-based vesting conditions (and applicable threshold, target and maximum performance payout levels) as were applicable to the corresponding L Brands PSUs as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date (subject to adjustment by the VS Compensation Committee following the Distribution Date in its discretion to reflect the Distribution in accordance with the terms of the applicable VS Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement thereunder). (b) Effective as of the Distribution Date, each L Brands PSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date and held by an L Brands Participant or a Former VS Employee shall be adjusted to reflect the Distribution and become an Adjusted L Brands PSU. The number of shares of L Brands Common Stock subject to such Adjusted L Brands PSU shall be determined by the L Brands Compensation Committee in a manner intended to preserve (and without enlarging) the value of such L Brands PSU by taking into account the relative values of the L Brands Pre-Distribution Stock Value and the L Brands Post-Distribution Stock Value. Each such Adjusted L Brands PSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and payment schedules) as applicable to the corresponding L Brands PSU as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided that, in the sole discretion of the L Brands Compensation Committee, the performance-based metrics underlying each such Adjusted L Brands PSU may be adjusted, as determined by the L Brands Compensation Committee, to reflect the Distribution.
