 income tax purposes, if a Participant is granted any other stock based award under the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan, the Participant will not recognize taxable income on the grant of the other stock based award, nor will the Company be entitled to any deduction. Generally, when any part of an other stock based award is paid (in the case of cash) or delivered (in the case of Shares) to the Participant, the Participant will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, equal to the cash paid or fair market value of the Shares delivered. Any subsequent gain or loss on the Shares will be generally taxable as capital gains or loss. The Resolution The resolution approving the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. 24 TABLE OF CONTENTS The Board therefore seeks your approval and support for the following resolution: RESOLVED : THAT the Stagwell Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Incentive Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A be approved; and THAT if the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders: (i) no Incentive Awards will be granted under the 2016 Third Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Incentive Plan; and (ii) the Current Plan will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
