Exhibit 10.35

AWARD TERMS OF
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS GRANTED UNDER
[THE CHEMOURS COMPANY EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN]
[THE CHEMOURS COMPANY 2017 EQUITY
AND INCENTIVE PLAN]

Introduction

You have been granted Performance Share Units under [The Chemours Company Equity and Incentive Plan] [The Chemours Company 2017 Equity and Incentive Plan] (“Plan”), subject to the following Award Terms.  This grant is also subject to the terms of the Plan, which are hereby incorporated by reference.  However, to the extent that an Award Term conflicts with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in these Award Terms, including any appendices to these Award Terms (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Agreement”).  A copy of the Plan, and other Plan-related materials, such as the Plan prospectus, are available at:  www.benefits.ml.com.

Grant Award Acceptance

You must expressly accept the terms and conditions of your Award as set forth in this Agreement.  To accept, log on to Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.com, select Equity Plan > Grant Information > Pending Acceptance.

 

IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS IN THE MANNER INSTRUCTED BY THE COMPANY, YOUR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS WILL BE SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION.

Date of Grant

[March 1, 2017] (“Date of Grant”)

Type of Awards

Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

Dividend Equivalents

Dividends payable on the total number of shares represented by your Performance Share Units (including whole and fractional Performance Share Units) will be allocated to your account in the form of Performance Share Units (whole and fractional) based upon the closing stock price on the date of the dividend payment.  Dividend equivalent units will be determined after the end of the Performance Period and credited to your account at that time based on the performance-adjusted number of Performance Share Units in your account.  Dividend equivalent units will be calculated by taking the final performance-adjusted Performance Share Units and calculating the dividend equivalent units for the first dividend payment date for the Performance Period.  The resulting number of dividend equivalent units from the first dividend payment date will be added to the final performance-adjusted number of Performance Share Units before calculating the dividend equivalent units for the second dividend payment date during the Performance Period.  This process will be repeated for each subsequent dividend payment date during the Performance Period.

Restricted Period

You may not sell, gift, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Performance Share Units during the “Restricted Period.”  The Restricted Period commences on the Date of Grant and lapses as set forth herein.

Vesting Schedule

The Performance Share Units shall only vest if the performance goals set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Performance Goals”) are satisfied as of the end of the performance period running from [January 1, 2017December 31, 2019] (the “Performance Period”).  If Performance Share Units are determined to be earned as of the Determination Date (as defined on Exhibit A), the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to such Performance Share Units on the Determination Date.  To the extent the Performance Goals are not satisfied, the Performance Share Units that are subject to a Restricted Period will be forfeited.

Termination of Employment

 

Under 60/10 Rule

If you terminate employment (other than for Cause) after attainment of age 60 with at least 10 years of service, and the termination occurs after the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Determination Date and the Performance Goals are satisfied, the Restricted Period will lapse as indicated on Exhibit A on the Determination Date; if such termination occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period and the Performance Goals are satisfied, the Restricted Period will lapse as to a pro rata portion of the Performance Share Units on the Determination Date.  The prorated amount will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Share Units determined as indicated on Exhibit A by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the Performance Period to the termination date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.

Death or Disability

If the termination occurs after the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Determination Date and the Performance Goals are satisfied, the Restricted Period will lapse as indicated on Exhibit A on the Determination Date.

If the termination occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period and the Performance Goals are satisfied, the Restricted Period will lapse as to a pro rata portion of the Performance Share Units on the Determination Date.  The prorated amount will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Share Units determined as indicated on Exhibit A by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the Performance Period to the termination date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.

Due to Any Other Reason (Including Divestiture to Entity Less Than 50% Owned by Chemours)

Performance Share Units that are subject to a Restricted Period will be forfeited.

Payment

Performance Share Units, if earned, shall be paid to you when the Restricted Period lapses in accordance with the schedule set forth under “Restricted Period.”  Performance Share Units are payable in one share of Stock for each whole unit and a cash payment for any fraction of a unit.  The value of each fractional unit will be based on the closing price of Stock as reported on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange as of the effective date of payment.

Code Section 409A

To the extent that an amount that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (“deferred compensation”) is payable on account of your termination of employment, no amounts shall be paid hereunder on account thereof unless such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  If you are a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, no amount that is deferred compensation shall be paid or delivered, on account of your separation from service, earlier than the date that is six months after such separation from service.  Amounts otherwise payable during that six month period shall be paid on the date that is six months and one day after your separation from service.

 

The Performance Share Units are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A and the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject you to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A or other adverse tax consequences.  In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.  The Committee may modify the terms of this Agreement, the Plan or both, without your consent, in the manner that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with Code Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Code Section 409A if compliance is not practical.  This section does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and does not guarantee that the Performance Share Units or the delivery of shares of Stock upon vesting/settlement of the Performance Share Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on you by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

You acknowledge that the Company and/or your employer (the “Employer”) (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) in connection with any aspect of the Performance Share Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Share Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Share Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax- Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Share Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.

 

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Performance Share Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax- Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Code Section 409A, if shares of Stock subject to the Performance Share Units will be withheld (or sold on your behalf) to satisfy any Tax Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Performance Share Units for any portion of the Performance Share Units that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the number of shares withheld (or sold on your behalf) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items.

Severability

The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Waiver

You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.

INTERNATIONAL AWARDS: Appendix

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Award Terms, the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement and to any special terms and provisions as set forth in Appendix B for your country, if any.  Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  Appendix A and B constitute part of these Award Terms.

You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Share Units or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Settlement of Performance Share Units and Sale of Shares.  To facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, you agree to the sale of any shares of Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the Award.  The sale will occur (i) immediately upon the vesting/settlement of the Performance Share Units, (ii) following your termination of employment from the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (iii) within any other time frame as the Company determines to be necessary to comply with local regulatory requirements.  You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) and you expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares.  You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares at any particular price.  Upon the sale of the shares of Stock, the Company agrees to pay you the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items.  You agree that the payment of the cash proceeds will be subject to the repatriation requirements described below.

You further agree that any shares to be issued to you shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company’s designated broker.  The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account.  This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms.  The limitation shall apply to all shares of Stock issued to you under the Plan, whether or not you continue to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  If you sell shares of Stock issued upon vesting/settlement of the Performance Share Units, the repatriation requirements described below shall apply.

By accepting the Performance Share Units, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the Performance Share Units, except as provided for in under the Termination of Employment section of the Award Terms, the termination of your employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Performance Share Units that may have been granted to you and that have not vested on the date of termination.

In particular, you understand and agree that any unvested Performance Share Units as of your termination date will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, “despido improcedente,” material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Performance Share Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates over and above the specific terms set forth in this Agreement.  Consequently, you understand that the Performance Share Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Performance Share Units and the shares of Stock issued at vesting shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or

sf-3731658


 

any other right whatsoever.  In addition, you understand that the grant of the Performance Share Units would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant to you of the Performance Share Units shall be null and void.

Responsibility for Taxes.  This provision supplements the Withholding section of the Award Terms:

If payment or withholding of income tax is not made within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the liability for income tax occurs (the “Due Date”) or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Withholding section.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax liability.  In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable.  You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax and national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer for any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Withholding section.
