Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for awards granted



 Exhibit 10.2(f) 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT 
 AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of Date (the “Award Date”) by and between Columbia Sportswear
Company, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and Name (the “Recipient”), for the award of restricted stock units with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”). 
 The award of restricted stock units to the Recipient is made pursuant to Section 7 of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the
Recipient desires to accept the award subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree to the following. 
 1. Award and Terms of Restricted Stock Units. The
Company awards to the Recipient under the Plan Number restricted stock units (the “Award”), subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 (a) Rights under Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock unit (a “RSU”) represents the unfunded, unsecured right to
require the Company to deliver to the Recipient one share of Common Stock for each RSU. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with respect to each RSU is subject to adjustment as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company as
to the number and kind of shares of stock deliverable upon any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, spin-off or other change in the corporate structure affecting the Common Stock generally. 
 (b) Vesting Dates. The RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall initially be 100% unvested and subject to forfeiture. Subject
to this Section 1(b), the RSUs shall vest over four years, with 25% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the Award Date. The date on which RSUs vest is referred to as a “vesting date.” The
RSUs shall become vested on a respective vesting date only to the extent the Recipient is an employee of the Company continuously from the Award Date to such vesting date. If a vesting date falls on a weekend or any other day on which the Nasdaq
Stock Market (“NSM”) or any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock then is principally traded (the “Exchange”) is not open, affected RSUs shall vest on the next following NSM or Exchange business day, as the case
may be. 
 (c) Acceleration on Death or Total Disability. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company by
reason of the Recipient’s death or physical disability, outstanding but unvested RSUs shall become immediately vested. The term “total disability” shall have the meaning given to the term under the Company’s long-term disability
policy. 
 (d) Forfeiture of RSUs. 
 (1) Forfeiture of RSUs on Termination of Service. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason that does
not result in acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 1(c), the Recipient shall immediately forfeit all outstanding but unvested RSUs awarded 








 
pursuant to this Agreement and the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related Common Stock. In addition, absence on leave approved by the Company
(or, if the Recipient is an executive officer of the Company, by the Board of Directors), shall not be deemed a termination or interruption of employment or service. Unless otherwise determined by the Company or the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion, (i) vesting of RSUs shall continue during a medical, family or military leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid, and (ii) vesting of RSUs shall be suspended during, and the number of shares deliverable at the vesting date
shall be proportionately reduced as a result of, any other unpaid leave of absence greater than 30 days. 
 (2) Forfeiture
of RSUs on Violation of Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Recipient acknowledges that compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a condition to the receipt and vesting of the RSUs. If, during the term of
this Agreement, the Board of Directors (or a committee of directors designated by the Board of Directors) determines in good faith that the Recipient’s conduct is or has been in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics, then the Board of Directors or committee may cause the Recipient to immediately forfeit all or a portion of the unvested RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related Common
Stock.
 (e) Restrictions on Transfer and Delivery on Death. The Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise encumber or dispose of the RSUs subject to this Agreement. If the Recipient dies before the delivery date, the shares will be delivered to the Recipient’s estate. 
 (f) Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents. The Recipient shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the RSUs or the
Common Stock underlying the RSUs until the vesting date for the relevant RSUs. The Recipient will not be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to any cash dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock underlying the RSUs awarded under this
Agreement that are declared prior to the particular vesting date for the relevant RSUs. 
 (g) Physical Delivery of Share
Certificates. As soon as practicable following any particular vesting date (including any accelerated vesting date pursuant to Section 1(c)), provided that the Recipient has satisfied its tax withholding obligations as specified under
Section 1(h) and the Recipient has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action the Company deems appropriate, the Company shall deliver the shares of Common Stock represented by vested RSUs to the Recipient (the
date of delivery of such shares is referred to as a “delivery date”), rounded to the nearest whole share. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued. The shares of Common Stock will be issued in the Recipient’s name or,
in the event of the Recipient’s death or total disability, to the Recipient’s beneficiary or executor. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to vest or deliver any shares of Common Stock during any period when the Company determines that the conversion of a RSU or the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any federal, state or
other applicable laws and may issue shares with any restrictive legend that, as determined by the Company, is necessary to comply with securities laws or other regulatory requirements, and (ii) a delivery date may be delayed in order to provide
the Company such time as it determines appropriate to determine tax withholding 








 
and other administrative matters; provided, however, that in any event the shares shall be delivered not later than the later to occur of the date that is 2
1/2 months from the end of (i) the Recipient’s tax year that includes the applicable vesting date, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the applicable vesting date. 
 (h) Taxes and Tax Withholding. 
 (i) The Recipient acknowledges that under United States federal tax laws in effect on the Award Date, the Recipient will have taxable compensation income at the time of vesting based on the Market Value (as defined
below) of the Common Stock on the vesting date. The Recipient shall be responsible for all taxes imposed in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in
connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the adequacy of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award. 
 (ii) The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any delivery of Common Stock hereunder all domestic or foreign income, employment or
other tax withholding obligations, whether national, federal, state or local (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), arising as a result of any grant, vesting or delivery of Common Stock pursuant to this Award, in amounts determined by the
Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Tax Withholding Obligation will be satisfied by the Company withholding from the vested shares of Common Stock a number of whole shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Market Value (as
defined below) equal to the required minimum tax withholding. The Recipient shall pay to the Company in cash, upon demand, the amount of any Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the withholding of shares described above, and
authorizes the Company to withhold from other amounts payable by the Company to the Recipient, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount not so paid. 
 (i) No Solicitation. The Recipient agrees that for 18 months after the Recipient’s employment with the Company terminates for
any reason, with or without cause, whether by the Company or the Recipient, the Recipient shall not recruit, attempt to hire, solicit, or assist others in recruiting or hiring, any person who is an employee of the Company, or any of its
subsidiaries. In addition to other remedies that may be available to the Company, the Recipient shall pay to the Company in cash, upon demand, the net value of any shares of Common Stock, valued as of the vesting date, delivered under this Agreement
if the Recipient violates this section 1(i). 
 (j) Not a Contract of Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed
as a contract of employment between the Company and the Recipient and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or to interfere in
any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary by whom the Recipient is employed to terminate the Recipient’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease the Recipient’s compensation or benefits.

Award or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from the
application of Section 409A or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (d) Market Value. “Market Value” as of a particular date shall mean (i) the closing sales price per share of Common
Stock as reported by the NSM on that date, or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the NSM, the closing price on the national securities exchange on which such stock is principally traded on that date, or
(iii) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed on the NSM or on another national securities exchange, the average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported by the National

 (i) Consent to Transfer Personal Data. By signing this Agreement, the Recipient voluntarily acknowledges and consents to the
collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Recipient is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data. However, failure to provide the consent may affect

administering and managing the Recipient’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on the Recipient’s
behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Recipient may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Recipient may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents

or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The award of RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or benefits in lieu of RSUs in the future. Future

outside the scope of the Recipient’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
