EXHIBIT 10.1
Annual Performance Share Plan Terms for Grant Under the
CNA Financial Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan
On [date], the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of CNA Financial Corporation (the "Company") established adjusted net operating goals for an Annual Performance Share Plan award to the Participant for the [year] Performance Period (the “PSP Award”). The Grant Date (the “Grant Date”) of the PSP Award is [date]. The PSP Award is subject to the following PSP Award terms (the "Award Terms"):
1.
PSP Award. For purposes of these Award Terms, the "Participant" shall be the eligible person identified in the Award Letter included with these Award Terms (the "Award Letter"). For purposes of these Award Terms, the amounts of the target PSP Award and the maximum PSP Award are, respectively, the amounts specified in the Award Letter. The PSP Award has been granted under the CNA Financial Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), which is incorporated into and forms a part of these Award Terms. Certain words, terms and phrases used in these Award Terms are defined in the Plan (rather than in these Award Terms or the Award Letter), and, except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary and except as otherwise provided in these Award Terms, a word, term, or phrase used or defined in the Plan is used or defined identically in these Award Terms. Other words, terms or phrases used in these Award Terms are defined in Paragraph 12 or elsewhere in these Award Terms or the Award Letter.
2.
Performance Period. The "Performance Period" shall have the meaning set forth in the Award Letter.
3.
Vesting Period. The "Vesting Period" shall have the meaning set forth in the Award Letter.
4.
Expiration. If the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation occurs, prior to payment following the completion of the Vesting Period, then the following shall apply:
a)
Retirement. If the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation occurs before the last day of the Vesting Period by reason of the Participant's Retirement, the Participant shall be eligible for a payment with respect to the PSP Award in accordance with the terms of these Award Terms based on the Company’s actual performance for the period, but subject to a proration based on the number of months of participation for the portion of the Performance Period prior to the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation. Distribution under this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Date of Termination of Affiliation.
b)
Death or Disability. If the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation occurs before the last day of the Vesting Period by reason of the Participant's death or Permanent Disability, the Participant (or the Participant's estate) shall be eligible for a payment with respect to the PSP Award in accordance with the terms of these Award Terms based on the Company’s actual performance for the period, but subject to proration based on the number of months of participation for the portion of the Performance Period prior to the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation. Distribution under this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Date of Termination of Affiliation.
c)
Voluntary, Involuntary Termination and Termination for Cause. Except as provided above in this Paragraph 4, if the Participant's Date of Termination of Affiliation occurs at any time prior to the distribution of the PSP Award (as provided for in Paragraph 7 below) by reason of termination of employment by the Participant's employer for Cause, or by reason of the Participant's voluntary or involuntary termination, the Participant's PSP Award shall be entirely forfeited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4, if a Participant has engaged in any conduct which constitutes Cause prior to the distribution of the PSP Award, the PSP Award shall be entirely forfeited.








5.
New Hires, Promotions and Demotions. Except as otherwise provided below, the Participant’s PSP Award will be based on the target percentage set forth in the Award Letter, as well as the Participant’s base salary at the commencement of the Performance Period, and shall not be affected by changes in base salary or status occurring during the Performance Period.
a)
New Hires. If the Participant was hired on or prior to September 30 of the Performance Period, the Participant’s PSP Award will be prorated based on the appropriate number of complete months of participation. Any employee hired after September 30 of the Performance Period will not be eligible to participate until the following performance period. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to imply that any employee hired after the beginning of the Performance Period is entitled to any PSP Award unless such employee has received an Award Letter.
b)
Promotions (First time participant or Current Officer) and Demotions. If the Participant is promoted to the Officer ranks for the first time during the Performance Period, the PSP award will be prorated based on the appropriate number of complete months of participation during the Performance Period. If a current Participant is either promoted or demoted during the Performance Period, the PSP award will not be affected. Any changes will be reflected in the subsequent grant assuming the Participant is still eligible to receive an award.
c)
Limits on Adjustments for Restricted Executives. If following a promotion the Participant becomes a Restricted Executive (as defined in the Plan) in the year in which the PSP Award is paid, then the amount of the PSP Award determined under Section 5(b) shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount the Participant would have received based on the Participant’s target percentage prior to such promotion, but calculated as if the Participant’s new base salary had been in effect from the beginning of the Performance Period or (ii) $9,000,000.
6.
Award Amount. The amount to be distributed with respect to the PSP Award shall be determined according to the schedule in the Award Letter, subject to review and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). If the Adjusted Net Operating Income at the end of the Performance Period is at least the minimum level, but less than the target level, the amount distributable with respect to the PSP Award shall be interpolated between the minimum threshold amount and the target amount. If the Net Operating Income at the end of the Performance Period is greater than the target level, but less than the maximum level, the amount distributable with respect to the PSP Award shall be interpolated between the target amount and the maximum amount. As soon as practicable after the necessary financial data for the Performance Period is available to the Committee, the Committee shall make a determination of the extent of the achievement of the performance goals for that Performance Period, and shall make a determination of the amount, if any, of the distribution to be made for the PSP Award to the Participant for the Performance Period. Payment of the PSP Award shall be subject to the requirements of Paragraph 8 and, in addition, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of the PSP Award or cancel the PSP Award entirely, whether or not the requirements of Paragraph 8 are met.
7.
Settlement of Award. The amount that is distributable for the PSP Award shall be settled as soon as practicable as determined by the Company after the Committee makes the determination described in Paragraph 6 and expiration of the Vesting Period. An amount equal to 100% of the PSP Award shall be settled by the transfer to the Participant of a number of shares of common stock of the Company determined by dividing such percentage by the fair market value of a share of stock on the Grant Date, rounded to the next lower whole number. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, tax withholding applicable to the stock portion of the payment shall be satisfied by reducing the number of shares delivered. The shares of stock transferred to the Participant shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer or other conditions as the Committee shall determine.
