2005 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR SHARE OPTION PLAN

 Exhibit 10.4 
  
 VISTAPRINT LIMITED 
 2005 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ SHARE OPTION PLAN 
  
 1.
Purpose. 
  
 The purpose of this 2005 Non-Employee
Directors’ Share Option Plan (the “Plan”) of VistaPrint Limited (the “Company”) is to compensate non-employee directors for their services and participation in the meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees on
which such director served in the prior year, to encourage ownership in the Company by non-employee directors of the Company, whose services are considered essential to the Company’s future progress, and to provide them with a further incentive
to remain as directors of the Company. 
  
 2. Administration. 

 
 The Board of Directors shall supervise and administer the Plan. The Board
of Directors shall have the authority to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. All questions concerning interpretation of the Plan or any share awards or options
granted under it shall be resolved by the Board of Directors and such resolution shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. The Board of Directors may, to the full extent permitted by or consistent with applicable
laws or regulations, delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, and if a committee is so appointed, all references to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall mean and relate to such
committee. No director or person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or under the Plan that is made in good faith. 
  
 3. Participation in the Plan; Eligibility. 
  
 Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company (“non-employee directors”) shall be eligible to receive options under the Plan. 
  
 4. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
  
 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8, the maximum number of the Company’s Common Shares par value $0.001 per share (“Common
Shares”), which may be issued under the Plan shall be (x) an aggregate of 250,000 shares, consisting of (i) 160,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2000-2002 Share Incentive Plan immediately
prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering and (ii) an additional 90,000 Commons Shares, plus (y) an annual increase for ten years beginning on July 1, 2006 and ending on (and including) July 1, 2015 equal to the number of
shares subject to options granted during the prior fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may act, prior to the first day of any fiscal year of the Company, to increase the share reserve by such number of Common Shares as
the Board of Directors shall determine, which number shall be less than the amount described in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 (b) If any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason is terminated, canceled, surrendered or expires without having been exercised in full, the
shares covered by the unexercised portion of such option shall again become available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. 
  
 (c) Common Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. 

 5. Share Options. 
  
 All options granted under the Plan shall be non-statutory options not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement in such form as the Board of Directors shall from time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) Option
Grant Dates. Options shall automatically be granted to the non-employee directors as follows: 
  
 (i) each person who first becomes a non-employee director on or following the date that the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the
Company shall be granted an option to purchase Common Shares with a Fair Value (as defined in Section 5(c) below) of $150,000 up to a maximum of 50,000 Common Shares, on the date of his or her initial appointment or election to the Board of
Directors; and 
  
 (ii) each non-employee
director shall be granted an option to purchase Common Shares with a Fair Value of $50,000 up to a maximum of 12,500 Common Shares, at each year’s annual general meeting at which he or she serves as a director. 
  
 Each date of grant of an option pursuant to this Section 5(a) is hereinafter
referred to as an “Option Grant Date.” 
  
 (b) Option
Exercise Price. The option exercise price per share for each option granted under the Plan shall equal (i) the closing price on any national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, (ii) the closing price of the Common Shares
on the Nasdaq National Market or (iii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as published in The Wall Street Journal, whichever is applicable, on the Option Grant Date. If no sales of Common Shares
were made on the Option Grant Date, the price of the Common Shares for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be the reported price for the next preceding day on which sales were made. 
  
 (c) Fair Value. The “Fair Value” of any option grant shall
be the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors using a generally accepted option pricing valuation methodology, such as the Black-Scholes model or a generally accepted binomial method, with such modifications as the Board of
Directors may deem appropriate to reflect the fair market value of the options on the date of grant. The methodology employed shall be the same methodology used by the Company for US GAAP purposes in calculating and reporting the cost of equity
instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. 
  
 (d)
Transferability of Options. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine or provide in an option granted under the Plan, any option granted under the Plan to an optionee shall not be transferable by the optionee other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the optionee’s lifetime only by the optionee or the optionee’s guardian or legal representative. References to an optionee, to the extent relevant in the context,
shall include references to authorized transferees. 
  
 (e)
Vesting Period. 
  
 (i) General.
Each option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable (“vest”) as to 8.33% of the original number of Common Shares each successive three-month period following the Option Grant Date until the third anniversary of the Option Grant
Date, in each case provided that the optionee is serving as a director of the Company on such vesting date. 
  

 2 

 (ii) Acceleration Upon a Change In Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
outstanding option granted under the Plan shall immediately become exercisable in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9) with respect to the Company. 
  
 (iii) Termination. Each option shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, on the earlier of (i)
the date ten years after the Option Grant Date of such option or (ii) the date 90 days after the optionee ceases to serve as a director of the Company. 
  
 (f) Exercise Procedure. An option may be exercised only by written notice to the Company at its principal office accompanied by (i) payment in cash
or by certified or bank check of the full consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised, (ii) delivery of outstanding Common Shares (provided such Common Shares, if acquired directly from the Company, were owned by the exercising
non-employee director, and not subject to repurchase by the Company, for at least six months prior to such delivery) having a fair market value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise equal to the option exercise price, or (iii) an
irrevocable undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or delivery of irrevocable instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check
sufficient to pay the exercise price. 
  
 (g) Exercise by
Representative Following Death of Director. An optionee, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation), including his or her legal representative, who, by reason of the
optionee’s death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the option. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within the term of the option as provided herein. Any
exercise by a representative shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 6. Withholding. Each non-employee director shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Board of Directors for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with options to such non-employee
director no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise provide, so long as the Common Shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), non-employee directors may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of Common Shares, including shares issued pursuant to the option creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value; provided, however,
that the total tax withholding where Common Shares is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for United States federal and
state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a non-employee
director. 
  
 7. Limitation of Rights. 
  
 (a) No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor the
granting of an option hereunder, nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will retain the optionee as a director for any period of time.

  
 (b) No Shareholders’ Rights for Options. An
optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his or her option until the date of the issuance to him or her of a share certificate therefor, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights (except
as provided in Section 8) for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Shares by means of a share dividend and the exercise price of
and the number of shares subject to options are adjusted as of 

  

 3 

 
the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an option between the
record date and the distribution date for such share dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the share dividend with respect to the Common Shares acquired upon such option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares
were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such share dividend. 
  
 (c) Compliance with Securities Laws. Each option shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the Common
Shares subject to such option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, or the disclosure of non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition
is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares pursuant to such option, such option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval, or
satisfaction of such condition shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or
to satisfy such condition. 
  
 8. Adjustment Provisions for Mergers,
Recapitalizations and Related Transactions. 
  
 If, through or
as a result of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share dividend, share split, reverse share split, or other similar transaction, (i) the outstanding Common Shares are exchanged for a different number or
kind of securities of the Company or of another entity, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or of another entity are distributed with respect to such Common Shares, the Board of Directors shall
make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (w) the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (x) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to then outstanding options under the Plan, (y) the
number and kind of shares or other securities issuable pursuant to options to be granted pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, and (z) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding options under the Plan (without changing the aggregate
purchase price for such options), to the end that each option shall be exercisable, for the same aggregate exercise price, for such securities as such optionholder would have held immediately following such event if he had exercised such option
immediately prior to such event. No fractional shares will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments. 
  
 9. Definition of “Change in Control”. 
  
 “Change in Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or more of subsections (a) through (d) below (including an event or
occurrence that constitutes a Change in Control under one of such subsections but is specifically exempted from another such subsection):

Act) 50% or more of either (x) the then-outstanding Common Shares of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Shares”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition
directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for common shares or voting securities of the Company, unless the Person
exercising, converting or exchanging such security acquired such security directly from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company), (B) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or 

  

 4 

 
maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (C) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies
with clauses (x) and (y) of subsection (b) of this Section 9; or 
  
 (b) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business

such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is referred to herein as the “Acquiring Corporation”) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Shares and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively, and (y) no Person (excluding the Acquiring
Corporation or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the then-outstanding common shares of the Acquiring
Corporation, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination); or

option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company’s 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Share Option Plan (the “Plan”), a total of «Numbershares» common shares of the Company
(the “Shares”), $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), at an exercise price of «Price» per Share. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire on «Finalexercisedate»
(the “Final Exercise Date”). 
  
 It is
intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall not be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms. 
  
 2. Vesting Schedule. 
  
 (a) Scheduled Vesting. This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to 25% of the original number of
Shares on «Vestdate» (the “Vesting Date”) and as to an additional 6.25% of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive three-month period following the Vesting Date until the fourth anniversary of the
Grant Date. 
  
 The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that
to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the

 3. Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) Form of Exercise. Each election to exercise this option shall be in writing in the form of the Notice of Stock
Option Exercise attached hereto or such other form as the Company shall accept, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full, using any of the following methods
(unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its sole discretion): 
  
 (i) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; 
  
 (ii) by (A) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver
promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (B) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver
promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; 
  
 (iii) by delivery of Common Shares owned by the Participant, or by attestation to the ownership of a sufficient number of Common Shares,
valued at their fair market value as determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board in good faith, provided (A) such methods of payment are then 

 
permitted under applicable law and (B) such Common Shares, if acquired directly from the Company, were owned by the Participant at least six months prior to
such delivery; or

 (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, then, the right to
exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise
this option on the date of such cessation. 
  
 4. Withholding. 

 
 No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless
and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any withholding taxes required by applicable law to be withheld in respect of this option.

 6. No Right to Employment or Other Status. 
  
 This option shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to
continue his or her directorship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with the Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this option, except as expressly
provided in this option. 
  
 9. No Rights as Stockholder.
