This excerpt taken from the NKE 10-K filed Jul 27, 2009. CHINA Method of Exercise. This provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, due to exchange control laws in China, the Optionee will be required to exercise his or her Option using the cashless sell-all exercise method pursuant to which all shares subject to the exercised Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale, less the exercise price, any Tax-Related Items and brokers fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Optionee in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations. The Company reserves the right to provide additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local law. This restriction will not apply to non-PRC citizens. Exchange Control Requirements. The Optionee understands and agrees that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, the Optionee will be required to immediately repatriate the cash proceeds from the cashless exercise of the Option to China. The Optionee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of his or her cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company, subsidiary, affiliate or the Employer, and the Optionee hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Optionee. The Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Optionee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. These requirements will not apply to non-PRC citizens. |
