This excerpt taken from the NKE 10-K filed Jul 27, 2009. THAILAND Exchange Control Information. If the Optionee remits funds out of Thailand to exercise his or her Option, it is the Optionees responsibility to comply with applicable exchange control laws. Under current exchange control regulations, Optionees may remit funds out of Thailand up to U.S.$1,000,000 per year to purchase shares (and otherwise invest in securities abroad) by submitting an application to an authorized agent, (i.e., a commercial bank authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency). The application includes the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form, a letter describing the Option, a copy of the Plan and related documents, and evidence showing the nexus between the Company and the Employer. If the Optionee uses a cashless method of exercise that does not involve remitting funds out of Thailand, this requirement does not apply. When the Optionee sells shares issued at exercise, the Optionee must repatriate all cash proceeds to Thailand and then convert such proceeds to Thai Baht within 360 days of repatriation. If the amount of the Optionees proceeds is US$20,000 or more, the Optionee must specifically report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form. If the Optionee fails to comply with these obligations, the Optionee may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. The Optionee should consult his or her personal advisor prior to taking any action with respect to remittance of proceeds from the sale of shares into Thailand. The Optionee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand. |
