No repricing or cash buy-out without stockholder approval.No stock option or SAR may be re-priced or substituted or exchanged for cash or as consideration for the grant of a new award with a lower exercise price without stockholder approval, except as may be permitted in connection with an event described below under the heading “Adjustments” or in the event of a change in control. (However, options and SARs may be settled by a cash payment that does not exceed the difference between the fair market value of the shares subject to the option or SAR and the strike price.)

Clawback and cancellation.All awards made under the Plan (including awards that are subject to time-based or performance-based conditions), and shares of common stock issued thereunder, are subject to applicable ACCO Brands’ clawback or recoupment policies as in effect from time-to-time and any similar policies required by law or regulation. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, a participant’s award or payments thereunder will be subject to cancellation or recoupment in instances where the participant is terminated for cause or has violated certain policies or codes of conduct, has breached a restrictive covenant applicable to the participant or has engaged in misconduct or conduct that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company. The Company’s current clawback policy provides that an executive officer must forfeit or reimburse the Company for cash or equity incentive compensation paid or payable to the executive officer if either the payment was based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently restated (regardless of whether the officer was responsible for the restatement) and a lower amount would have been paid to the executive officer based on the restated results. Further, the Company's current clawback policy provides that an executive may be required to forfeit or reimburse the Company for cash or equity incentive compensation paid or payable to the executive officer if the Board determines the officer engaged in willful or intentional misconduct. Further information regarding the clawback policy is provided under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Discussion and Analysis—Recoupment or Forfeiture of Incentive Payments Policy.”
