ETSY, INC. 
2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

						
	Grant of Units	Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award, this Performance Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan, the Company has granted to you a target number of PSUs as set forth in the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award.  The PSUs shall be credited to a separate account maintained for you on the books of the Company (the “Account”).  On any given date, the value of each PSU comprising the Award shall equal the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock of the Company (each, a “Common Share”). The Award shall vest and settle as set forth below.

						
		All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement, the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award or the Plan.

						
	Payment for Units	No payment is required for the PSUs that you are receiving.

						
	Vesting	The Award shall be eligible to vest as provided in this Section of the Performance Stock Unit Agreement and shall become earned to the extent provided in the tables set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto if, and to the extent that, (A) your Service continues  through each of the Vesting Dates or as otherwise set forth below and (B) the Administrator (as defined on Exhibit A attached hereto) certifies that the Company has achieved or exceeded Threshold performance for (i) the “Gross Merchandise Sales Goal,” (ii) the “Revenue Goal,” (iii) the “Adjusted EBITDA Goal” and (iv) the “Relative TSR Goal” (each as defined in Exhibit A, and collectively referred to herein as the “Performance Goals”) necessary for any portion of the Award to be earned and eligible to vest. The portion, if any, of the Award that shall vest shall range from 0% to 200% of the Target number of Common Shares underlying the Award based on achievement against the Performance Goals, as determined in accordance with the methodology set out on Exhibit A.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have the right, to adjust or modify the Performance Goals as permitted under the Plan and as provided in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no additional PSUs will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. 

						
	Forfeiture	If your Service terminates for any reason other than in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Etsy’s Executive Severance Plan, hereinafter, the “Severance Plan”) or for a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan), then your PSUs will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested and been earned before the termination date. This means that any PSUs that have not vested and been earned under this Agreement will be canceled immediately. You receive no payment for PSUs that are forfeited. The Company determines when your Service terminates for all purposes of your PSUs. 

		

    

                

						
	Change in Control Treatment	If a Change in Control occurs prior to [last day of performance period], the Performance Period will end as of the date of such Change in Control and (i) any unearned Financial PSUs will be deemed to be earned at Target performance level set forth on Exhibit A if the Change in Control occurs from [●] through [●] (“Year 1 of the Performance Period”), and such earned Financial PSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the original service vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award and (ii) any unearned Relative TSR PSUs will be deemed earned at the greater of (x) Target performance level set forth on Exhibit A or (y) actual performance level based on a truncated performance period that will end on the closing date of such Change in Control and will use the Change in Control price per Common Share, and such earned Relative TSR PSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the original service vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you experience a Qualifying CIC Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan), your earned Financial PSUs and your earned Relative TSR PSUs will fully vest as of the date of such Qualifying CIC Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Change in Control occurs on or after [●] but before the end of the Performance Period (“Years 2 to 3 of the Performance Period”), the Financial PSUs will be earned based on actual performance based on Fiscal [●] results. 

	

Vesting upon a Qualifying Termination
	

If you experience a Qualifying Termination in Year 1 of the Performance Period, then (i) the Financial PSUs will be deemed to be earned at Target performance level set forth on Exhibit A and (ii) the Relative TSR PSUs will be deemed to be earned at the greater of (x) Target performance level set forth on Exhibit A or (y) actual performance level based on a truncated Performance Period that will end on the date of such Qualifying Termination. If you experience a Qualifying Termination in Years 2 to 3 of the Performance Period, then the Relative TSR PSUs will be deemed to be earned at the greater of (x) Target performance level set forth on Exhibit A or (y) actual performance level based on a truncated Performance Period that will end on the date of such Qualifying Termination.  You will vest, as of the date of such Qualifying Termination, in a prorated portion of such PSUs based on the number of days that you were in Service  between the Date of Grant and the date of such Qualifying Termination; provided that the Administrator will at all times retain discretion in good faith to reduce the number of PSUs that would otherwise be earned and eligible to vest as of the date of such Qualifying Termination (but in no event will the application of such negative discretion in Years 2 to 3 of the Performance Period result in the number of PSUs that would otherwise be earned be less than actual performance). If you experience a Qualifying Termination after the end of the Performance Period, but before the PSUs have vested and settled in Common Shares, then all earned but unvested PSUs shall fully vest as of the date of such Qualifying Termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, if you experience a Qualifying Termination in Years 2 to 3 of the Performance Period, the Financial PSUs will be earned based on actual performance based on Fiscal [●] results.

    4    

                

						
	Leaves of Absence
and Part-Time
Work	For purposes of the Award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. However, your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work. 

						
		If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting schedule so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule.

						
	Settlement	The Company shall settle the Award on each of the Vesting Dates, or in the case of a Qualifying Termination, the date of such Qualifying Termination, and shall therefore issue (in book-entry form) in your name one Common Share (each, a “PSU Share”) for each such vested PSU comprising the Award (and, upon such settlement, those PSUs shall cease to be credited to the Account). No fractional shares will be issued upon settlement, and so any fractional share that may be payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the delivery of Common Shares upon settlement of the Award would require you to make a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, then, in lieu of delivering such Common Shares, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Award, in whole or in part, in cash.

						
	Section 409A	This paragraph applies only if the Company determines that you are a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations under Code Section 409A at the time of your “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), and it is determined that settlement of these PSUs is not exempt from Code Section 409A. If this paragraph applies, and the event triggering settlement is your “separation from service,” then any PSUs that otherwise would have been settled during the first six months following your “separation from service” will instead be settled on the first business day following the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service or (ii) your death.

						
		Each installment of PSUs that vests is hereby designated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

						
	Nature of Units	Your PSUs are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Common Shares (or distribute cash) on a future date. As a holder of PSUs, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.

    5    

                

						
	No Voting Rights or
Dividends	Your PSUs carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash dividends. You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your PSUs are settled by issuing Common Shares.

						
	Units
Nontransferable	You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any PSUs. For instance, you may not use your PSUs as security for a loan.

						
	Beneficiary
Designation	You may dispose of your PSUs in a written beneficiary designation. A beneficiary designation must be filed with the Company on the proper form and must have been received before your death. If you file no beneficiary designation or if none of your designated beneficiaries survives you, then your estate will receive any vested and earned PSUs that you hold at the time of your death.

						
	Withholding Taxes	No stock certificates (or their electronic equivalent) or cash will be distributed to you unless you have paid any withholding taxes that are due as a result of the vesting or settlement of PSUs. Withholding taxes will be paid by (a) the Company withholding PSU Shares from those that otherwise would be issued to you when the PSUs are settled, (b) if permitted by the Company, by the Company withholding cash from cash compensation otherwise payable to you or (c) if required at the Company’s discretion (or with the Company’s permission, at your election), by paying cash to the Company or by payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker.  For the avoidance of doubt, the withholding of PSU Shares shall only be permitted to the extent authorized by the Administrator, and the management shall not be authorized to disallow the withholding of such PSU Shares to satisfy tax withholding.

						
	Restrictions on Resale	You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

						
	Retention Rights	Your Award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, Subsidiary or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.

						
	Adjustments	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of your PSUs will be adjusted accordingly, as the Company may determine pursuant to the Plan.

    6    

                

						
	Effect of Significant
Corporate
Transactions	If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or certain change in control transactions, then your PSUs will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the Plan, provided that any action taken must either (a) preserve the exemption of your PSUs from Code Section 409A or (b) comply with Code Section 409A. 

						
	Recoupment Policy	This Award, and the PSU Shares acquired upon settlement of this Award, shall be subject to any Company recoupment or clawback policy in effect from time to time.

						
	Applicable Law	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).

						
	The Plan and Other Agreements	The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

						
		The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of Performance Stock Unit Award constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this award are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.

BY ACKNOWLEDGING AND ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, 
YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE 
AND IN THE PLAN.

“Administrator” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee, to the extent the Board of Directors delegates such authority to the Compensation Committee. 

“Comparator Group” shall consist of those companies that are constituents of the NASDAQ Composite Index as of January 1, [●]; provided, that, the Comparator Group may be adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion (x) in the event of the merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or similar transaction of a Comparator Group member, (y) in response to a change in circumstances that results in a member of the Comparator Group no longer being a publicly traded company or having publicly traded stock or (z) in any other manner that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate.

“Initial Share Price” shall mean, with respect to any one company, the average closing price of one share of common stock during the first [●] calendar days of the Performance Period.

“Performance Period” shall mean, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the [●]-year performance period, which will begin on January 1, [●] and end on December 31, [●].  

“Relative TSR” shall mean the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR determined by dividing (x) the Company’s numerical position in the ranking of the TSRs calculated for each company in the Comparator Group as of the end of the Performance Period (ranking by lowest to highest TSR) by (y) the 
    8    

                

total number of companies included in the Comparator Group as of the end of the Performance Period, rounding to the nearest hundredth. 

“Revenue” shall mean the Company’s revenue (determined on a consolidated basis consistent with the methodology for determination for reporting in the Company’s financial statements as of the Date of Grant, and, for the avoidance of doubt, specifically excluding the impact of subsidiaries acquired after the Date of Grant), as may be adjusted by the Administrator in its discretion to reflect any Permitted Adjustments.

“TSR” shall mean, with respect to any one company, (x) the Ending Share Price minus the Initial Share Price (assuming all dividends and other distributions made on such share are reinvested), divided by (y) the Initial Share Price and multiplied by 100.

Exhibit 10.2

Etsy, Inc.
Amended and Restated Compensation Program
for Non-Employee Directors
Effective as of February 9, 2022 
This program has been established in order to attract and retain non-employee directors who have the knowledge, skills and experience to serve as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Etsy, Inc. (the “Company”).
All equity awards granted under this program shall be granted under the Company’s then-current equity incentive plan (or director equity incentive plan, if any). Capitalized terms used but not defined will have the meaning set forth in the applicable equity incentive plan or equity award agreement.
A.    Continuing Directors
Annual Board Retainers and Additional Retainers
Each non-employee director will receive an Option and/or Restricted Stock Units (the “Annual Equity Award” and in each case, “Equity”) on the date of the regular annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) unless he or she received a New Director Equity Award in the same calendar year in which the Annual Meeting occurs. The fair value1 on the date of grant of each Annual Equity Award will equal the amount of the Annual Board Retainer, plus the amount of any applicable Additional Retainers (other than any Additional Retainer for the Board Chair).
Each Annual Equity Award will vest in full on the date of the next Annual Meeting following the date of grant (the “Next Annual Meeting”), provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board during the vesting period, and will vest in full in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event of the director’s death, in either case, that occurs prior to the Next Annual Meeting.
If a non-employee director is not eligible to receive an Annual Equity Award, any applicable Additional Retainers (other than any Additional Retainer for the Board Chair) will be paid in the form of cash on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board until the Next Annual Meeting.

1 “Fair value” of all equity awards described in this Compensation Program will be calculated in accordance with the Company’s Equity Grant Policy.
1

Any Additional Retainer for the Board Chair will be paid in the form of an Option and/or Restricted Stock Units, with a fair value on the date of grant equal to the amount of such Additional Retainer for the Board Chair. Such award will be granted on the date of the Annual Meeting and will vest in full on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board during the vesting period, and will vest in full in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event of the director’s death.
B.     New Directors
Each new, non-employee director who joins the Board will be granted Equity in the same form of Equity as the Annual Equity Award most recently granted to the Company’s continuing directors and with a fair value on the date of grant equal to the amount of the Annual Board Retainer, plus the amount of any applicable Additional Retainers (other than any Additional Retainer for the Board Chair) (the “New Director Equity Award”). If such director’s appointment to the Board becomes effective after the date of the Annual Meeting, the director’s New Director Equity Award will be pro-rated based on the number of whole months that the director serves on the Board before the Next Annual Meeting.
Each New Director Equity Award will be granted on the first business day of the month following the month in which the director’s appointment to the Board becomes effective (or, if such day is not a trading day, on the following trading day) or, if the director’s appointment to the Board becomes effective during the month of, and prior to, the date of the Annual Meeting, then the New Director Equity Award will be granted on the date of the Annual Meeting.
Each New Director Equity Award will vest in full on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board during the vesting period, and will vest in full in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event of the director’s death.
If a new director is eligible to receive an Additional Retainer for the Board Chair, it will be paid in the form of an Option and/or Restricted Stock Units, with a fair value on the date of grant equal to the amount of such Additional Retainer for the Board Chair. If such director’s appointment to the Board becomes effective after the date of the Annual Meeting, such award will be pro-rated based on the number of whole months that the director serves on the Board before the Next Annual Meeting. Such award will be granted on the same date that the director is granted his or her New Director Equity Award and will vest in full on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board during the vesting period, and will vest in full in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event of the director’s death.
2

C.     Additional Catch-Up Retainers
If a director becomes the Board Chair, or a member or Chair of a Board committee, after the date of the Annual Meeting (for continuing directors) or the date the director’s appointment to the Board became effective (for new directors), then the director will be entitled to receive an additional amount (the “Additional Catch-Up Retainer”) equal to the excess of the director’s Additional Retainers for the prior and new roles (the “Original Additional Retainer”) over the Additional Retainers that were actually paid to the director as of the date of the Annual meeting. The Original Additional Retainer will be pro-rated based on the number of whole months that the director served in each additional role during the period from the Annual Meeting (for continuing directors) or the date the director’s appointment to the Board became effective (for new directors) until the Next Annual Meeting,
The amount of any Additional Catch-Up Retainer attributable to any Additional Retainers (other than any Additional Retainer for the Board Chair) will be paid in the form of cash on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board until the Next Annual Meeting.
If a director is eligible to receive a Catch-Up Retainer attributable to an Additional Retainer for the Board Chair, it will be paid in the form of an Option and/or Restricted Stock Units, with a fair value on the date of grant equal to such amount. Such award will be granted on the first business day of the month following the month in which the director becomes the Board Chair (or, if such day is not a trading day, on the following trading day). Such award will vest in full on the date of the Next Annual Meeting, provided that the director has served continuously as a member of the Board during the vesting period, and will vest in full in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event of the director’s death.
