PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

        We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with our board of directors' solicitation of proxies for use at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10112 on June 16, 2017, or at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, we will ask you to consider and vote on the proposals described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement. We are soliciting proxies from holders of our Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("CHUBA"), and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("CHUBB"). The holders of our Series C common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("CHUBK"), are not entitled to any voting powers, except as required by Delaware law, and may not vote on the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting. We refer to CHUBA and CHUBB together as our "voting stock," and we refer to CHUBA, CHUBB and CHUBK collectively as our "common stock."

        As used herein, "CommerceHub," "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and similar terms include CommerceHub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context indicates otherwise.

        Our Company was founded in 1997 in Albany, New York by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Francis Poore, and our Chief Technology Officer, Richard Jones. It was acquired by an affiliate of Liberty Interactive Corporation, our former parent company ("Liberty Interactive"), in 2006. During November 2015, the board of directors of Liberty Interactive authorized a plan to distribute shares of our Company to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock (the "Spin-Off"). CommerceHub, Inc. was a newly formed Delaware corporation that, pursuant to an internal restructuring, effective July 21, 2016, became the parent company of Commerce Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that, as a result of the restructuring, is the successor to Commerce Technologies, Inc. ("CTI"), the entity through which CommerceHub transacted prior to the Spin-Off. Following the completion of the Spin-Off on July 22, 2016, CommerceHub now operates as a stand-alone publicly traded company and neither Liberty Interactive nor CommerceHub has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Notice and Access

        We have elected, in accordance with the "Notice and Access" rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") to our stockholders and to post this proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Annual Report" and, together with this proxy statement, the "proxy materials") on the Internet. The Notice is first being mailed to our stockholders on or about April 28, 2017, and the proxy materials will first be made available to our stockholders on or about the same date.

        The Notice instructs you on how to access and review the proxy materials and how to submit your proxy via the Internet or by telephone. The Notice also instructs you on how to request and receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction form, at no charge. We will not mail a paper copy of the proxy materials to you unless you specifically request us to do so.

Electronic Delivery

        Registered stockholders may elect to receive future notices and proxy materials by e-mail. To sign up for electronic delivery, go to www.computershare.com/investor. Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may sign up for electronic delivery when voting by Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the prompts. Also, stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may sign up for electronic delivery by contacting their nominee. Once you sign up, you will not receive printed copies of future notices, proxy statements, annual reports or other related materials unless you specifically request them. If you are a registered stockholder, you may suspend electronic delivery of notices, proxy statements, annual reports and other related materials at any time by contacting our transfer agent, Computershare, at (866) 367-6355 (or, if you are outside the United States, +1 (781) 575-3400). Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee should contact their nominee to suspend electronic delivery.

Time, Place and Date

        The Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, on June 16, 2017, at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10112, telephone (212) 408-2500.

Purpose

        At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

        We refer to each of the foregoing proposals collectively as the "Proposals." You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, although we are not aware at this time of any other such business.

Table of Contents

Quorum

        In order to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date (as defined below) and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be represented at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the Annual Meeting even if you indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares ("broker non-votes") will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See "—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes" below.

Who May Vote

        Holders of shares of our voting stock, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 18, 2017 (such date and time, the "Record Date" for the Annual Meeting), will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Votes Required

        Each director nominee receiving a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors thereat, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

        Approval of each of the accounting firm ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class.

Votes You Have

        At the Annual Meeting, holders of shares of CHUBA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of CHUBB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show were owned as of the Record Date.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

        Our board of directors has unanimously approved each of the Proposals and recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of each director nominee, "FOR" the accounting firm ratification proposal and "FOR" the incentive plan proposal.

Shares Outstanding

        As of the Record Date, an aggregate of 13,593,736 shares of CHUBA and 711,992 shares of CHUBB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Number of Holders

        There were, as of the Record Date, 979 holders of record of CHUBA and 49 holders of record of CHUBB (which amounts do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each such institution as one holder).

Table of Contents

Voting Procedures for Record Holders

        Holders of record of our voting stock as of the Record Date may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper proxy card, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail. Instructions for voting by telephone or through the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy card. In order to vote through the Internet, holders should have their Notices or proxy cards available so they can log onto the Internet website address shown on the Notices or proxy cards and input the required information from the Notices or proxy cards. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number, which will be provided to each voting stockholder separately. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our voting stock represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

        YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.    We recommend that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. You will be able to change your vote at the Annual Meeting.

        If you submit a properly executed proxy without indicating voting instructions as to any Proposal, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of each director nominee and/or "FOR" each of the accounting firm ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal.

        If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a Proposal, it will have no effect on the director election proposal, and it will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" each of the accounting firm ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal.

        If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any of the Proposals are approved (if a quorum is present) other than reducing the total number of affirmative votes required to approve the accounting firm ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal.

Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name

General

        If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee (i.e., in "street name"), you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, all the Proposals except for the accounting firm ratification proposal. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to promptly provide specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

Effect of Broker Non-Votes

        Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our voting stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no effect on any of the Proposals other than increasing the number of votes required to approve the Proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of voting stock or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Table of Contents

Revoking a Proxy

        If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, you may change your vote by voting in person at the Annual Meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to CommerceHub, Inc., c/o Proxy Services, c/o Computershare Investor Services, P.O. Box 30202, College Station, Texas 77842-9909. Any signed proxy revocation or new signed proxy must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting. In addition, you may change your vote by telephone or through the Internet (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2017.

        Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you unless you also vote your shares (or revoke your proxy) at the Annual Meeting.

        If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

        We are soliciting proxies by means of the proxy materials on behalf of our board of directors. In addition to this mailing, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending the Notice and, if requested, paper proxy materials to you and in getting your voting instructions. We have also retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. ("D.F. King") to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost of $7,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

        If you have any further questions about voting or attending the Annual Meeting, please contact D.F. King at (212) 269-5550 (brokers and banks only) or (800) 290-6424 (toll free) or contact CommerceHub Investor Relations at (206) 971-7712.

Other Matters to Be Voted on at the Annual Meeting

        Our board of directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the Annual Meeting other than that which is described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best judgment. In the event there is a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote on that proposal.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

        The following table sets forth information concerning shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each person or entity known by us to own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of CHUBA or CHUBB, which are our Company's voting securities. Beneficial ownership of shares is set forth below only to the extent known by us or ascertainable from public filings.

        The security ownership information is given as of January 31, 2017, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon 13,536,289 CHUBA shares, 711,992 CHUBB shares and 28,674,631 CHUBK shares, in each case, outstanding on January 31, 2017. The voting power percentage is presented on an aggregate basis for all series of our voting stock. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of CHUBB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of CHUBA, are reported as beneficial ownership of CHUBB only and not as beneficial ownership of CHUBA.

PROPOSAL 2—ACCOUNTING FIRM RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

        We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

        Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our board of directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee will consider it as a direction to select another independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

        A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

        The following table presents fees incurred after the Spin-Off for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP:

 
  2016   2015

Tax fees(2)

         

Total fees

(1)
Audit-related fees consist of reviews of registration statements and issuance of consents. $400,000 of the audit-related fees in 2016 were reimbursed to the Company by Liberty Interactive.

(2)
Tax fees consist of tax compliance and consultations regarding the tax implications of certain transactions.

        Our audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to the Company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and believes that the provision of such other services is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

        Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditors to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as "pre-approved services"):

13


Table of Contents

        Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is expected to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects equal to or less than $100,000 are expected to equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Pursuant to the policy, our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chair of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Mr. Huseby currently serves as the chair of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditors are required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

        Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditors to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

        All services provided by our independent auditors following the Spin-Off were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Vote and Recommendation

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the accounting firm ratification proposal.

        Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the accounting firm ratification proposal.

PROPOSAL 3—INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

        The CommerceHub, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "incentive plan") was originally adopted in connection with the Spin-Off, effective as of July 22, 2016, and was approved by Liberty Interactive, our sole stockholder prior to the Spin-Off. Subsequently, effective as of October 13, 2016, the compensation committee of our board of directors amended and restated the incentive plan to permit the delegation of the powers and authority of the compensation committee under the incentive plan, subject to applicable law, to one or more committees and/or officers of the Company that have been approved for such delegation by our board of directors.

        Subject to the approval of our stockholders, our compensation committee has approved the second amendment and restatement of the incentive plan to (i) set a $4.0 million per year limit on payments to any person pursuant to cash awards under the incentive plan and (ii) extend the term of the incentive plan from July 22, 2021 to July 22, 2022.

        Stockholder approval of the second amendment and restatement of the incentive plan is also expected to allow awards made pursuant to the incentive plan to meet the requirements of "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

        No additional shares are being requested as part of this proposal. If the second amendment and restatement of the incentive plan is not approved by stockholders, the first amended and restated incentive plan will remain in effect, and we will continue to utilize the transition rules under Section 162(m) of the Code that permit us to grant performance-based awards to our covered executives until our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.

        Set out below is a description of the material provisions of the incentive plan. This description is not intended to be complete, and we refer you to the copy of the incentive plan set forth as Annex A to this proxy statement for a complete statement of its terms and provisions.

Key Features of the Incentive Plan

Table of Contents

Summary of the Incentive Plan

        Awards granted to our executive officers and other employees and independent contractors under the incentive plan are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, and awards granted to nonemployee directors are administered by our full board of directors. Our compensation committee has delegated authority to grant awards to the chair of the compensation committee and to an award committee of our board of directors, consisting solely of our Chief Executive Officer (the "award committee"), in each case solely with respect to awards to our non-executive employees and within certain parameters established by our compensation committee. The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our Company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. The incentive plan is also intended to attract persons of exceptional ability to become our officers and employees, and to induce directors, independent contractors and/or employees of Liberty Interactive and Liberty Media to agree to provide services to us. Such persons are eligible to participate in and may be, and in many cases have been, granted awards under the incentive plan. The number of individuals who will receive awards under the incentive plan will vary from year to year and will depend on various factors, such as the number of promotions and our hiring needs during the year. Therefore, we cannot predict the number of future award recipients.

        Under the incentive plan, non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing (collectively, "awards") may be granted. As of January 1, 2017, the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 15,346,064, which reflects the original 13,200,000 shares of common stock plus the increased shares in 2017 (as further described below), subject to antidilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. The number of shares available for issuance will be increased on the first day of every calendar year beginning in 2017 in an amount equal to (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares of our common stock determined by the board of directors. With limited exceptions, under the incentive plan, no employee or independent contractor may be granted in any calendar year awards of stock options or SARs covering more than 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to antidilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan, or may receive payments for cash awards in excess of $4.0 million. No nonemployee director may be granted, during any calendar year, awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $1.0 million, increased to $2.0 million in connection with such nonemployee director's initial year of service on our board of directors.

        Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the incentive plan will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or shares of our common stock that we have issued but reacquired, including shares purchased in the open market. Shares of our common stock that are subject to (i) any award granted under the incentive plan that expires, terminates or is cancelled or annulled for any reason without having been exercised, (ii) any award of any SARs granted under the incentive plan the terms of which provide for settlement in cash and (iii) any award of restricted shares or RSUs granted under the incentive plan that are forfeited prior to becoming vested, in each case, will once again be available for issuance under the incentive plan. Shares of our common stock that are (i) not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding option or SAR, (ii) used to pay the purchase price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding award or (iii) repurchased in the open market with the proceeds of an option purchase price, in each case, will not be made available for subsequent issuance under the incentive plan.

Table of Contents

        Subject to the provisions of the incentive plan, the compensation committee is authorized to establish, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the incentive plan and to take such other action in connection with or in relation to the incentive plan as it deems necessary or advisable. In addition, the compensation committee has delegated to the award committee all of its power and authority under the incentive plan, subject to applicable law, with respect to the awards to non-executive officers (within certain parameters established by our compensation committee) for which the award committee has been delegated the authority to make grants.

        Unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee or its delegate and expressly provided for in an agreement, awards are not transferrable except as permitted by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.

        Stock Options.    Non-qualified stock options awarded under the incentive plan will entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of a series of our common stock at a specified exercise price subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable option grant. The exercise price of an option awarded under the incentive plan may be no less than the fair market value of the shares of the applicable series of our common stock as of the day the option is granted. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years. The compensation committee or its delegate will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, (1) the series and number of shares of our common stock subject to the option, (2) the per share exercise price, (3) whether the exercise price is payable in cash, by check, by promissory note, in whole shares of any series of our common stock, by the withholding of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the option, by cashless exercise, or any combination of the foregoing, (4) other terms and conditions of exercise, (5) restrictions on transfer of the option and (6) other provisions not inconsistent with the incentive plan. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any stock options.

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    A SAR awarded under the incentive plan entitles the recipient to receive a payment in stock or cash equal to the excess of the fair market value (on the day the SAR is exercised) of a share of the applicable series of our common stock with respect to which the SAR was granted over the base price specified in the grant. A SAR may be granted to an option holder with respect to all or a portion of the shares of our common stock subject to a related stock option (a "tandem SAR") or granted separately to an eligible person (a "free standing SAR"). Tandem SARs are exercisable only at the time and to the extent that the related stock option is exercisable. Upon the exercise or termination of the related stock option, the related tandem SAR will be automatically cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of our common stock with respect to which the related stock option was so exercised or terminated. The base price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option. Free standing SARs are exercisable at the time and upon the terms and conditions provided in the relevant award agreement. The term of a free standing SAR may not exceed ten years. The base price of a free standing SAR may be no less than the fair market value of a share of the applicable series of our common stock as of the day the SAR is granted. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any SARs.

        Restricted Shares and RSUs.    Restricted shares are shares of our common stock that become vested and may be transferred upon completion of the restriction period. The compensation committee or its delegate will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, (1) the price, if any, to be paid by the recipient of the restricted shares, (2) whether dividends or distributions paid with respect to restricted shares will be retained by us during the restriction period ("retained distributions"), (3) whether the holder of the restricted shares may be paid a cash amount any time after the shares become vested, (4) the vesting date or vesting dates (or basis of determining the same) for the award and (5) other terms and conditions of the award. The holder of an award of restricted shares, as the registered owner of such shares, may vote the shares.

Table of Contents

        An RSU is a unit evidencing the right to receive, in specified circumstances, one share of the specified series of our common stock, or its cash equivalent, subject to a restriction period or forfeiture conditions. The compensation committee or its delegate is authorized to award RSUs based upon the fair market value of shares of any series of our common stock under the incentive plan. The compensation committee or its delegate will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, the terms, conditions, restrictions, vesting requirements and payment rules for awards of RSUs, including whether the holder will be entitled to dividend equivalent payments with respect to the RSUs. RSUs will be issued at the beginning of the restriction period and holders will not be entitled to shares of our common stock covered by RSU awards until such shares are issued to the holder at the end of the restriction period. Awards of RSUs or the common stock covered thereunder may not be transferred, assigned or encumbered prior to the date on which such shares are issued or as provided in the relevant award agreement.

        Upon the applicable vesting date, all or the applicable portion of restricted shares or RSUs will vest, any retained distributions or unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted shares or RSUs will vest to the extent that the awards related thereto have vested, and any cash amount to be received by the holder with respect to the restricted shares or RSUs will become payable, all in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreement. The compensation committee or its delegate may permit a holder to elect to defer delivery of any restricted shares or RSUs that become vested and any related cash payments, retained distributions or dividend equivalents, provided that such deferral elections are made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

        Cash Awards.    The compensation committee or its delegate will also be authorized to provide for the grant of cash awards under the incentive plan. A cash award is a bonus paid in cash that may be based upon the attainment of one or more performance goals over a performance period established by the compensation committee or its delegate. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any cash awards will be determined by the compensation committee or its delegate.

        Performance Awards.    At the discretion of the compensation committee or its delegate, any of the above-described awards may be designated as a performance award. Any award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation exempt from the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code will be made by the compensation committee. All cash awards shall be designated as performance awards. Performance awards are contingent upon performance measures applicable to a particular period, as established by the compensation committee or its delegate and set forth in individual award agreements, based upon any one or more of the following business criteria:

18


Table of Contents

        Performance measures may apply to the award recipient, to one or more business units, divisions or subsidiaries of our Company or an applicable sector of our Company, or to our Company as a whole. Goals may also be based on performance relative to a peer group of companies. A performance measure need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). If the compensation committee intends for the performance award to be granted and administered in a manner that preserves the deductibility of the compensation resulting from such award in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, the applicable performance goals must be established (1) no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goals relate and (2) prior to the completion of 25% of such period of service. The compensation committee will have no discretion to modify or waive such performance goals to increase the amount of compensation payable that would otherwise be due upon attainment of the goal, unless the applicable award is not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and the relevant agreement provides for such discretion. The compensation committee shall have the authority to determine whether the performance measures and other terms and conditions of the award are satisfied, and the compensation committee's determination as to the achievement of performance measures relating to a performance award shall be made in writing. Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows deductions for compensation in excess of $1.0 million for our Chief Executive Officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers, unless the awards meet the requirements for being performance-based.

        Awards Generally.    Awards under the incentive plan may be granted either individually, in tandem or in combination with each other. Where applicable, the securities underlying, or relating to, awards granted under the incentive plan may be shares of CHUBA, CHUBB and/or CHUBK as provided in the relevant award agreement. The closing prices of CHUBA and CHUBK shares were $15.21 and $15.06, respectively, as of April 18, 2017, and the closing price of CHUBB shares was $16.61 as of April 13, 2017, the last day on which a sale occurred.

        Under certain conditions, including the occurrence of certain approved transactions, a board change or a control purchase (all as defined in the incentive plan), options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs will lapse, unless individual award agreements state otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, the compensation committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all outstanding awards of any or all types granted pursuant to the incentive plan will not vest or

19


Table of Contents

become exercisable on an accelerated basis in connection with an approved transaction if effective provision has been made for the taking of such action which, in the opinion of the compensation committee, is equitable and appropriate to substitute a new award for such award or to assume such award and to make such new or assumed award, as nearly as may be practicable, equivalent to the old award (before giving effect to any acceleration of the vesting or exercisability thereof), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets into or for which the applicable series of common stock may be changed, converted or exchanged in connection with the approved transaction.

        At the time an award is granted, the compensation committee or its delegate will determine, and the relevant agreement will provide for, any vesting or early termination, upon a holder's termination of employment or service with our Company, of any unvested options, SARs, RSUs or restricted shares and the period during which any vested options and/or SARs may be exercised. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, (1) no option or SAR may be exercised after its scheduled expiration date (provided that, if the term of an option or SAR expires when trading in our common stock is prohibited by law or our Company's insider trading policy, then the term of such option or SAR shall expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition), (2) if the holder's service terminates by reason of death or disability (as defined in the incentive plan), his or her options or SARs shall remain exercisable for a period of at least one year following such termination (but not later than the scheduled expiration date), (3) any termination of the holder's service for "cause" (as defined in the incentive plan) will result in the immediate termination of all options and SARs and the forfeiture of all rights to any restricted shares, RSUs, retained distributions, unpaid dividend equivalents and related cash amounts held by such terminated holder and (4) if a holder's service terminates due to death or disability, options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs will lapse and become fully vested, unless individual award agreements state otherwise.

        Adjustments.    The number and kind of shares of our common stock that may be awarded or otherwise made subject to awards under the incentive plan, the number and kind of shares of our common stock covered by outstanding awards and the purchase or exercise price and any relevant appreciation base with respect to any of the foregoing will be subject to appropriate adjustment as the compensation committee or its delegate deems equitable, in its sole discretion, in the event that (1) we subdivide the outstanding shares of any series of our common stock into a greater number of shares of such series of common stock, (2) we combine the outstanding shares of any series of our common stock into a smaller number of shares of such series of common stock or (3) there is a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock redemption, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any series of our common stock, or any other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations, other than approved transactions (as defined in the incentive plan) for which other provisions are made pursuant to the incentive plan). In addition, in the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the compensation committee has the discretion to (i) provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of vesting and exercisability, or lapse of restrictions, with respect to the awards, or in the case of a cash merger, termination of unexercised awards, or (ii) cancel such awards and deliver cash to holders based on the fair market value of such awards as determined by the compensation committee, in a manner that is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If the purchase price of options or the base price of SARs, as applicable, is greater than the fair market value of such options or SARs, the options or SARs may be canceled for no consideration.

        Amendment and Termination.    If approved by the stockholders, the second amended and restated incentive plan will terminate on the sixth anniversary of the incentive plan's effective date (which will be the sixth anniversary of the Spin-Off) unless earlier terminated by the compensation committee.

20


Table of Contents

Otherwise, if the second amended and restated incentive plan is not approved by the stockholders, the incentive plan will terminate on the fifth anniversary of its effective date (which will be the fifth anniversary of the Spin-Off). The compensation committee may suspend, discontinue, modify or amend the incentive plan at any time prior to its termination, except that outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the purchase or base price of outstanding options or SARs. However, before an amendment may be made that would adversely affect a participant who has already been granted an award, the participant's consent must be obtained, unless the change is necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Granted under the Incentive Plan

Consequences to Participants

        The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that generally will arise with respect to awards granted under the incentive plan and with respect to the sale of any shares of our common stock acquired under the incentive plan. This general summary does not purport to be complete, does not describe any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences and does not address issues related to the tax circumstances of any particular recipient of an award under the incentive plan.

        Non-Qualified Stock Options and SARs.    Holders will not recognize taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or SAR, the holder will recognize ordinary income (subject to withholding, if applicable) in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares received over (2) the exercise price or base price (if any) he or she paid for the shares. The holder will generally have a tax basis in any shares of our common stock received pursuant to the exercise of a SAR, or pursuant to the cash exercise of a non-qualified stock option, that equals the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise. The disposition of the shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option will ordinarily result in capital gain or loss. Subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below, we are entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the income recognized by the holder upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or SAR.

        Cash Awards, RSUs and Restricted Shares.    A holder will recognize ordinary compensation income upon receipt of cash pursuant to a cash award or, if earlier, at the time such cash is otherwise made available for the holder to draw upon it, and we will have a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below. A holder will not have taxable income upon the grant of an RSU but rather will generally recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the award is settled in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, at which time we will have a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below.

        Generally, a holder will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of restricted shares, and we will not be entitled to any federal income tax deduction upon the grant of a restricted share award. The value of the restricted shares will generally be taxable to the holder as compensation income in the year or years in which the restrictions on the shares of common stock lapse. Such value will equal the fair market value of the shares on the date or dates the restrictions terminate. A holder, however, may elect pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to treat the fair market value of the shares subject to the restricted share award on the date of such grant as compensation income in the year of the grant of the restricted share award. The holder must make such an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days after the date of grant. If such an election is made and the holder later forfeits the restricted shares to us, the holder will not be allowed to deduct, at a later date, the amount such holder had earlier included as compensation income. In any case, we will receive a deduction for federal income tax purposes corresponding in amount to the amount of compensation included in the

21


Table of Contents

holder's income in the year in which that amount is so included, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below.

        A holder who is an employee will be subject to withholding for federal, and generally for state and local, income taxes at the time the holder recognizes income under the rules described above with respect to the cash or the shares of our common stock received pursuant to awards. Dividends or dividend equivalents that are received by a holder prior to the time that the restricted shares are taxed to the holder under the rules described in the preceding paragraph are taxed as additional compensation, not as dividend income. The tax basis of a holder in the shares of our common stock received will equal the amount recognized by the holder as compensation income under the rules described in the preceding paragraph, and the holder's holding period in such shares will commence on the date income is so recognized.

        Certain Tax Code Limitations on Deductibility.    In order for us to deduct the amounts described above, such amounts must constitute reasonable compensation for services rendered or to be rendered and must be ordinary and necessary business expenses. The ability to obtain a deduction for awards under the incentive plan could also be limited by Section 280G of the Code, which provides that certain excess parachute payments made in connection with a change in control of an employer are not deductible. The ability to obtain a deduction for amounts paid under the incentive plan could also be affected by Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of compensation paid to certain employees to $1.0 million during any taxable year. However, certain exceptions apply to this limitation in the case of qualified performance-based compensation. In certain cases, we may determine it is in our interests to not satisfy the requirements for the qualified performance-based exception, and stockholder approval of the incentive plan will allow our compensation committee to structure awards in a manner that may qualify for these requirements.

        Code Section 409A.    Section 409A of the Code generally provides that any deferred compensation arrangement must satisfy specific requirements, both in operation and in form, regarding (1) the timing of payment, (2) the advance election of deferrals and (3) restrictions on the acceleration of payment. Failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code may result in the early taxation (plus interest) to the participant of deferred compensation and the imposition of a 20% penalty on the participant on such deferred amounts included in the participant's income. We intend to structure awards under the incentive plan in a manner that is designed to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code.

New Plan Benefits

        Due to the nature of the incentive plan and the discretionary authority afforded the compensation committee and its delegates in connection with the administration thereof, we cannot determine or predict the value, number or type of awards to be granted pursuant to the incentive plan.

        As of January 31, 2017, we had granted awards under the incentive plan, to our employees (including our executive officers), our nonemployee directors and our independent contractors, relating to 701,997 CHUBK shares in the aggregate. These awards include 193,998 options to purchase CHUBK shares, which have a 10-year term and have exercise prices ranging from $14.33 per share to $14.99 per share. We have also adopted our annual performance bonus program for our executive officers for the 2017 calendar year in the form of cash awards under the incentive plan to preserve the deductibility of the compensation resulting from such awards in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code.

Vote and Recommendation

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the incentive plan proposal.

        Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the Second Amended and Restated CommerceHub, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

        Our executive officers serve in their capacities as such until their respective successors have been duly elected and have been qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption. During the past ten years, none of our executive officers or directors has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These persons are further required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such reports that they file. Based solely on a review of such reports that have been furnished to us during the year ended December 31, 2016 and certain written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2016, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10-percent beneficial owners were met.

Code of Ethics

        We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (our "code of ethics") that applies to all of our employees, including our executive officers, and our directors. Our code of ethics constitutes our Company's "code of ethics" within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and is available on the Corporate Governance page of our Investor Relations website at ir.commercehub.com.

Director Independence

        It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations, our compensation committee follows the Corporate Governance Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market on the criteria for director independence.

        Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Cattini, Goldhill, Huseby and Ubiñas and Ms. Morgan qualifies as an independent director of our Company.

Board Composition

        As described under "Proposal 1Director Election Proposal," our board of directors is comprised of members with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, technology, journalism, auditing and corporate finance. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see "—Committees of the Board of Directors—Director Nominations Process" below.

25


Table of Contents

        Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines, which include our policies regarding board composition and responsibilities, director qualifications and director independence. Our corporate governance guidelines are available on the Corporate Governance page of our Investor Relations website at ir.commercehub.com.

Board Leadership Structure

        Our board of directors has separated the positions of chair of the board and chief executive officer (principal executive officer). Mr. Baer is the chair of our board, leads our board of directors and board meetings and provides strategic guidance to Mr. Poore, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Poore leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our Company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our board of directors in fulfilling its duties.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

        Our board of directors as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks, risks relating to potential conflicts of interest and enterprise risk management. Our compensation committee oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements with senior management, as well as risks associated with the independence of our directors. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full board of directors. The oversight responsibility of the board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, human capital and compensation, legal and compliance and other risks. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our senior management team, including on the Company's enterprise risk assessment and internal audit function.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Executive Committee

        Our board of directors has established an executive committee, whose members are Messrs. Baer, Hollingsworth and Poore. Except as specifically prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the executive committee may exercise all the powers and authority of our board of directors in the management of our business and affairs, including the power and authority to authorize the issuance of shares of our capital stock.

Audit Committee

        Our board of directors has established an audit committee, whose chair is Mr. Huseby and whose other members are Messrs. Goldhill and Ubiñas, each of whom is independent. See "—Director Independence" above. Our board has also determined that Mr. Huseby qualifies as our "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations. Our board has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our Investor Relations website at ir.commercehub.com.

        The audit committee reviews and monitors the corporate financial reporting and the internal and external audits of our Company. The audit committee's functions include, among other things:

Table of Contents

Audit Committee Report

        Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our board of directors, based on the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC's independence requirements for members of audit committees. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Huseby is an "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

        The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, including that firm's judgment about the quality of our accounting policies, as applied in its financial reporting.

        KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG LLP's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm's independence from the Company and its subsidiaries.

        Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2017.

Compensation Committee

        Our board of directors has established a compensation committee, whose chair is Ms. Morgan and whose other members are Messrs. Cattini and Huseby, each of whom is independent. See "—Director Independence" above. Our board has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our Investor Relations website at ir.commercehub.com.

        The compensation committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, as well as our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of those goals to set his compensation. The compensation committee also reviews the compensation of our other executive officers and other members of our executive management team who report to our Chief Executive Officer. The compensation committee may also make recommendations to our board of directors with respect to incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans and administer such plans, with the authority to make and modify grants under, and to approve or disapprove participation in, such plans.

        Prior to the Spin-Off and before the compensation committee had been appointed, our management had engaged Compensia, Inc. ("Compensia"), our prior compensation consultant, to provide independent reports on peer groups, executive compensation and long-term equity strategy. In connection with these services, Compensia had assisted us with identifying our peer companies, structuring our employee stock purchase plan and the incentive plan and had provided input on various other compensation matters with respect to our executive team. Compensia had also provided information to us regarding chief executive officer compensation at other supply chain technology and cloud-based software companies in connection with our entry into a new employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer in June 2016. Following the Spin-Off, the compensation committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook") to advise on nonemployee director compensation, management compensation and various aspects of our long-term incentive program. In preparing its recommendations, FW Cook reviewed the compensation program pay levels and structure for executives and nonemployee directors at the same supply chain technology and cloud-based software companies that were previously identified by Compensia.

        Although we do not have a separate, standing nominating and governance committee, the compensation committee performs many of the functions that such a nominating and governance committee would perform. The compensation committee reviews our corporate governance guidelines, considers qualifications of our incumbent directors and other candidates to recommend as nominees to our board of directors and evaluates the independence of our directors. As further discussed below under "—Director Nominations Process," when acting in this nominating and governance capacity, our compensation committee acts unanimously to ensure participation of a majority of our independent directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        No member of the compensation committee is, or since the Spin-Off has been, an officer or employee of our Company, or has engaged in any related party transaction in which our Company was a participant.

        Our board of directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish other committees of our board, consisting of one or more of our directors. For example, our board of directors established the award committee in 2016, consisting of one member, Francis Poore, which has been delegated authority by the compensation committee to grant equity awards to non-executive employees (within certain parameters established by our compensation committee) as described in "Executive Compensation—

Table of Contents

Equity Award Grant Policy." Any committee so established will have the powers delegated to it by resolution of our board of directors, subject to applicable law.

Director Nominations Process

        Our independent directors, generally acting by majority through our compensation committee, identify directors for reelection to our board and recommend director nominees to our board for approval. Our independent directors may also identify other individuals qualified to become board members consistent with criteria established or approved by our board of directors from time to time and oversee the evaluation of our board and management.

        Our independent directors will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder, provided that such recommendations are properly submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the recommendation in writing to CommerceHub, Inc., 201 Fuller Road, 6th Floor, Albany, New York 12203, Attention: Secretary. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under "Stockholder Proposals" below, and must contain the following information:

Table of Contents

        In connection with their evaluation, our independent directors may request additional information from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The compensation committee and our other independent directors have discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

        To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. However, our independent directors believe that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, our board of directors has determined that a potential nominee should possess the following qualifications, among others:

        The compensation committee and our other independent directors do not assign specific weights to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. We do not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, we believe that it is important that our board members represent diverse viewpoints.

        When seeking candidates for director, the compensation committee and our other independent directors may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the compensation committee may interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The compensation committee may also ask the candidate to meet with our other directors and with management. If the compensation committee and our other independent directors believe a candidate would be a valuable addition to our board of directors, they may recommend to the full board that candidate's nomination and election.

        Prior to nominating an incumbent director for reelection at an annual meeting of stockholders, the compensation committee and our independent directors will consider the director's past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the board of directors and its committees and the director's formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the board and the board committees of which such individual is a member.

        Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Cattini, Goldhill and Hollingsworth, who are nominated for election at the Annual Meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our Company and approved their nominations.

Board Meetings

        During 2016, there were two meetings of our full board of directors, no meetings of our executive committee, four meetings of the compensation committee and five meetings of our audit committee. None of our directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the board held during the period he or she served as a director and (ii) the number of meetings held by all committees of the board during the periods that he or she served on such committees.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

        Our board of directors encourages all members of the board to attend the Annual Meeting, which is the first annual meeting of our stockholders, and to attend future annual meetings of our stockholders.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

        We have entered into employment agreements with, or provided an offer letter to, our named executive officers. These arrangements provide for at-will employment and generally include the named executive officer's initial base salary and an indication of eligibility for an annual cash bonus and equity awards. These arrangements are described below.

Francis Poore

        On December 23, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Poore that established his initial compensation with our Company, which included an annual bonus of up to 50% of base salary, and provided for certain post-employment compensation and benefits upon his termination. Effective January 10, 2013, Mr. Poore's employment agreement was amended in connection with his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer of our Company (the "2013 Amendment"). The 2013 Amendment provided that his term of employment would expire on January 10, 2017 if we or Mr. Poore were to provide a notice of termination at least 60 days before January 10, 2017. The 2013 Amendment also (i) provided for an initial base salary of $345,000, subject to annual review by our board of directors, which was increased to $385,457 for 2016, (ii) modified the revenue and operational milestones with respect to the vesting of SARs granted to Mr. Poore in January 2011 (described in more detail below) under the Commerce Technologies, Inc. 2010 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "2010 SAR plan") and (iii) made other clarifying changes to the post-employment payment provisions in his original employment agreement.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, the SARs previously granted to Mr. Poore in January 2011 were converted into stock options to purchase 763,593 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $2.65 per share (the "Converted CEO Award") pursuant to the antidilution provisions in the 2010 SAR plan. These stock options fully vested in January 2017 following the achievement of the revenue milestone specified in the award agreement as of December 31, 2016, and they expire on January 10, 2021. As of December 31, 2016, the Converted CEO Award was unvested, and the award agreement relating to the Converted CEO Award provided for (i) forfeiture of the entire award if Mr. Poore's employment had been terminated for cause (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement) on that date, (ii) unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, forfeiture of the entire award if Mr. Poore's employment had terminated by reason of his death or disability on that date or had been voluntarily terminated by Mr. Poore without good reason (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement) on that date, and (iii) full vesting of the award if Mr. Poore's employment had been terminated by our Company without cause or by Mr. Poore for good reason on that date. The other terms of these stock options are governed by the CommerceHub, Inc. Legacy Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "legacy SAR plan").

        On June 25, 2016, Liberty Interactive's compensation committee approved a new compensation arrangement with Mr. Poore, which was memorialized in a definitive employment agreement between CommerceHub and Mr. Poore, dated effective as of June 28, 2016 (the "2016 CEO Employment Agreement"). As discussed above, the term of Mr. Poore's employment would have expired on January 10, 2017 if we or Mr. Poore had provided a notice of termination at least 60 days before such

Table of Contents

date. Regardless of whether the Spin-Off was completed, we wished to retain Mr. Poore's service as our President and Chief Executive Officer beyond January 10, 2017 and began negotiating a new employment agreement to incent Mr. Poore to remain with our Company. In addition, consistent with our compensation philosophy, we believed that a new grant of equity would be instrumental to retaining Mr. Poore's services on a long-term basis.

        The 2016 CEO Employment Agreement provides for a four-year employment term ending on June 27, 2020 (the "CEO Employment Period"), with an initial annual base salary of $400,000, an annual target cash bonus equal to 100% of the applicable year's base salary beginning in 2017, the CEO Multi-Year Awards (as defined below) and other customary benefits and terms. The 2016 CEO Employment Agreement also increased Mr. Poore's maximum annual bonus under the 2016 bonus program described below from 50% of his annual base salary to 75% of his 2016 base salary.

        In connection with the approval of the terms of the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement, Liberty Interactive's compensation committee also approved a one-time grant of 1,057,048 SARs to Mr. Poore pursuant to the 2010 SAR plan, which had an initial exercise price of $35.64 per SAR. In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2010 SAR plan, this grant was converted into stock options to purchase 2,306,155 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $16.34 per share (the "CEO Multi-Year Awards"). 25% of the CEO Multi-Year Awards will vest on June 28, 2017 (the "First Vesting Date"), with 1/36 of the remaining unvested options vesting on each monthly anniversary of the First Vesting Date and the last 1/36 of the remaining unvested options vesting on June 27, 2020, in each case subject to Mr. Poore being employed by us on the applicable vesting date. The CEO Multi-Year Awards have a term of ten years. We discuss the other terms of the CEO Multi-Year Awards below, which are governed by the award agreement relating to the CEO Multi-Year Awards and the legacy SAR plan.

        In addition, as described below, the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement and the award agreements relating to Mr. Poore's equity awards provide for certain compensation and benefits following a termination of employment or change in control.

        Termination for Cause.    If Mr. Poore is terminated for cause (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued unpaid base salary, accrued unused paid time off, unpaid expense reimbursement, amounts accrued under our employee benefit plans and programs as of the date of termination that are required under the terms of such plans to be paid to Mr. Poore notwithstanding his termination, and any other amounts due under applicable law (collectively, the "Standard Entitlements"). In addition, he will immediately forfeit the unvested portion of his CEO Multi-Year Awards, and the vested, unexercised portion of his CEO Multi-Year Awards will remain exercisable for 90 days following the date of such termination, but in no event past the original term of such awards.

        Termination for Good Reason or without Cause.    If, during the CEO Employment Period, Mr. Poore is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to: (i) the Standard Entitlements, (ii) a salary continuation severance payment equal to two times his annual base salary, to be paid in 24 equal payroll installments, (iii) an additional lump sum severance payment equal to a pro rata portion of his annual base salary based on the number of days he was employed during the year of termination (the "Additional Payment"), (iv) any annual cash bonus that has been declared as of the date of the termination with respect to the prior calendar year and which has not yet been paid ("Unpaid Bonus"), (v) if he elects continued coverage under our medical plan(s), the applicable premium required for COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. Poore and his spouse and eligible dependents (as applicable), until the earlier of (a) the date he receives equivalent coverage from a successor employer and (b) the first anniversary of the date of termination, and (vi) continued participation in any life insurance plan

34


Table of Contents

(if permitted under such plan) until the earlier of (a) the date he receives equivalent coverage from a successor employer and (b) the first anniversary of the date of termination.

        If Mr. Poore is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason during the CEO Employment Period, a pro rata portion of the unvested CEO Multi-Year Awards will accelerate and vest based on the number obtained by dividing (x) the number of days between June 28, 2016 and the date of his termination plus 548 calendar days by (y) the total number of days in the vesting period established by the award agreement relating to the CEO Multi-Year Awards (not to exceed the total number of unvested CEO Multi-Year Awards at such time); provided that, if such termination occurs within 90 days prior to, or 18 months following the closing date of, a change in control (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement), all of the unvested CEO Multi-Year Awards will accelerate and vest. Upon a termination without cause or for good reason during the CEO Employment Period, all of the vested CEO Multi-Year Awards (including any awards that accelerated in connection with such termination) will remain exercisable for two years following the date of such termination, but in no event past the original term of such awards, except that if Mr. Poore does not timely deliver a general release to us, the exercise period would expire on the 90th day following his termination.

        Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.    If, during the CEO Employment Period, Mr. Poore terminates his employment without good reason, he will receive the Standard Entitlements and will immediately forfeit the unvested portion of his CEO Multi-Year Awards. The vested, unexercised portion of the CEO Multi-Year Awards will remain exercisable for 120 days following the date of such termination, but in no event past the original term of such awards.

        Termination due to Death or Disability.    If Mr. Poore's employment terminates during the CEO Employment Period due to death or disability (as defined in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to the Standard Entitlements, Unpaid Bonus, a lump-sum severance payment equal to his annual base salary, the Additional Payment and accelerated vesting of any unvested CEO Multi-Year Awards. All of the vested CEO Multi-Year Awards (after giving effect to such acceleration) will remain exercisable for two years following the date of termination, but in no event past the original term of such awards.

        Termination at or following Expiry of CEO Employment Period.    If Mr. Poore remains employed through the CEO Employment Period and his employment then ends for any reason, he is entitled to the Standard Entitlements and, unless such termination is for cause, Unpaid Bonus and the Additional Payment for the 2020 calendar year. Any outstanding and vested, but unexercised CEO Multi-Year Awards as of the date of such termination will remain exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of termination, but in no event past the original term of such awards.

        As a condition to Mr. Poore's receipt of any severance payments or benefits (aside from the Standard Entitlements) following his termination without cause or for good reason, as well as to any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise periods for the CEO Multi-Year Awards described above in connection with a termination without cause or for good reason, Mr. Poore must execute a severance agreement and general release in accordance with the procedures set forth in the 2016 CEO Employment Agreement. Mr. Poore's receipt and retention of severance benefits (aside from the Standard Entitlements) upon any termination of employment is also conditioned on his compliance with the post-termination non-compete, non-disclosure and non-interference restrictions in his employment agreement, which generally continue for two years following a termination of his employment.

        Change in Control.    If a change in control occurs at any time during the CEO Employment Period (aside from a change in control in which Mr. Poore's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within 90 days preceding or concurrently with such change in control) and, following such transaction, (i) the CEO Multi-Year Awards do not (x) continue to be outstanding and governed by the

35


Table of Contents

legacy SAR plan and (y) remain contractually enforceable against us or our successor and (ii) the compensation committee has not taken equitable action to replace the CEO Multi-Year Awards with equivalent new awards or have the successor entity assume the CEO Multi-Year Awards (the "Award Conditions"), all of the outstanding unvested CEO Multi-Year Awards will accelerate and vest immediately prior to the closing of the change in control transaction. In addition, even if the Award Conditions are met so that vesting of the outstanding CEO Multi-Year Awards would not otherwise be accelerated, if a change in control occurs within the first year following the Spin-Off (aside from a change in control in which Mr. Poore's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within 90 days preceding or concurrently with such change in control), 37.5% of the CEO Multi-Year Awards, less any portion of the CEO Multi-Year Awards that has previously vested or that otherwise would vest in connection with such change in control, will accelerate and vest and will be exercisable immediately prior to the closing of the change in control transaction.

Mark Greenquist

        In connection with Mr. Greenquist joining our Company as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in June 2016, we provided him with an offer letter establishing the terms of his employment, including his compensation. His offer letter provides for (i) an annual base salary of $350,000, (ii) an annual bonus target of 75% of base salary, subject to 100% achievement of performance goals, and (iii) a grant of 140,000 SARs, which had an initial exercise price of $35.64 per SAR. In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2010 SAR plan, Mr. Greenquist's SAR award was converted into stock options to purchase 305,437 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $16.34 per share (the "Converted CFO Award"). These stock options vest in four equal installments on each anniversary of the July 20, 2016 grant date and have a term of 10 years. The other terms of these stock options are governed by the legacy SAR plan.

        Termination for Cause.    Mr. Greenquist will forfeit any outstanding portion of his Converted CFO Award if his employment is terminated for cause (as defined in the legacy SAR plan), as determined by the compensation committee in its sole discretion. In addition, conduct that constitutes grounds for forfeiture (as defined in the legacy SAR plan), but does not lead to a termination of employment, may also result in forfeiture of any outstanding portion of his Converted CFO Award under the legacy SAR plan.

        Termination Due to Death, Disability, Retirement or for Any Reason other than for Cause.    If Mr. Greenquist's employment is terminated for reasons other than for cause, he may exercise the vested portion of the Converted CFO Award until the close of business on the three-month anniversary of the date of his termination of employment. In such event, he would forfeit the unvested portion of his Converted CFO Award. In addition, the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any stock options that are unvested at the time of a termination due to death, disability (as defined in the legacy SAR plan), retirement (as defined in the legacy SAR plan) or for reasons other than cause.

        Mr. Greenquist is not entitled to any other payments or benefits upon a termination of his employment.

Richard Jones

        On January 4, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with Richard Jones that set the terms of his employment as our Chief Tactician. The January 2011 employment agreement provided for, among other things, (i) an annual bonus of up to 30% of base salary, subject to achievement of milestones established by the Company's board of directors, and (ii) an award of 400,000 SARs under the 2010 SAR plan (the "2011 SAR award") that would vest upon achievement of revenue goals and operational milestones determined by CTI's board of directors. On October 7, 2013, Mr. Jones's 2011

36


Table of Contents

employment agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) increase his annual base salary to $240,000, subject to annual review by the Company's board of directors, (b) provide for an award of 100,000 SARs under the 2010 SAR plan and (c) modify the milestones with respect to the vesting of Mr. Jones's 2011 SAR award.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, Mr. Jones's 2011 SAR award was converted into stock options to purchase 174,535 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $2.66 per share (the "Converted 2011 CTO Award") pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2010 SAR plan. These stock options vested in January 2017 following the achievement of the revenue milestone specified in the award agreement as of December 31, 2016, and they expire on January 14, 2021. The other terms of these stock options are governed by the legacy SAR plan.

        In accordance with the 2013 amendment to his employment agreement, Mr. Jones received an award of 100,000 SARs vesting in four equal installments on each of May 10, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. At the time of the Spin-Off, there was one installment of this award that was unexercised, which was converted in connection with the Spin-Off into stock options to purchase 54,542 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $6.25 per share (the "Converted 2013 CTO Award") pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2010 SAR plan. This award vests on May 10, 2017 and expires on May 10, 2023. The other terms of these stock options are governed by the legacy SAR plan.

        In July 2016, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Jones (the "2016 CTO Employment Agreement") that replaced his prior amended employment agreement. The 2016 CTO Employment Agreement provides for (i) a four-and-a-half-year employment term from July 20, 2016 to January 20, 2021, (ii) an annual base salary of $300,000, (iii) an annual bonus of up to 50% of base salary commencing with the 2016 annual bonus and (iv) a grant of 300,429 SARs, which had an initial exercise price of $35.64 per SAR. In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2010 SAR plan, Mr. Jones's 2016 SAR award was converted into stock options to purchase 655,444 CHUBK shares at an exercise price of $16.34 per share (the "CTO Multi-Year Awards"). The CTO Multi-Year Awards have a term of 10 years and vest in 22.22% installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the July 20, 2016 grant date and in a final 33.34% installment on January 20, 2021, subject to Mr. Jones being employed by us on the applicable vesting date. The other terms of these stock options are governed by the legacy SAR plan.

        In addition, as described below, the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement and the award agreements relating to Mr. Jones's equity awards provide for certain compensation and benefits following a termination of employment or change in control.

        Termination for Cause.    If Mr. Jones is terminated for cause (as defined in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to accrued unpaid salary through the date of termination, Unpaid Bonus, accrued unused paid time off, amounts accrued under our employee benefit plans and programs as of the date of termination that are required under the terms of such plans to be paid to Mr. Jones notwithstanding his termination, and any other amounts due under applicable law (collectively, the "CTO Entitlements"). Mr. Jones will forfeit any outstanding portions of the Converted 2011 CTO Award, the Converted 2013 CTO Award and the CTO Multi-Year Awards, regardless of whether they are vested or unvested, if his employment is terminated for cause (as defined in Mr. Jones's 2011 employment agreement, the legacy SAR plan and the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement, respectively). In addition, the compensation committee may also determine that conduct that constitutes grounds for forfeiture, but does not lead to a termination of employment, will result in the forfeiture of any outstanding portion of the Converted 2011 CTO Award, the Converted 2013 CTO

37


Table of Contents

Award and the CTO Multi-Year Awards. For purposes of the Converted 2011 CTO Award, grounds for forfeiture has the same meaning as "cause" in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement, and for purposes of the Converted 2013 CTO Award and the CTO Multi-Year Awards, "grounds for forfeiture" is defined in the legacy SAR plan.

        Termination without Cause or Constructive Termination without Cause.    If Mr. Jones is terminated without cause or experiences a constructive termination without cause (as defined in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to the CTO Entitlements and a lump sum severance payment equal to the net present value, discounted using the applicable federal rate for short-term obligations for the month in which the termination occurs, of one year's salary as in effect at the time of his termination. In addition, if Mr. Jones experiences a termination without cause or a constructive termination without cause (each as defined in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement), he may exercise any vested portion of the CTO Multi-Year Awards until the close of business on the 12-month anniversary of the date of his termination of employment, and the unvested portion of his CTO Multi-Year Awards would be forfeited. As a condition to Mr. Jones's receipt of the foregoing lump sum severance payment following his termination without cause or his constructive termination without cause, Mr. Jones must execute a general release in accordance with the procedures set forth in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement.

        Termination due to Death or Disability.    If Mr. Jones is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to the CTO Entitlements. In addition, the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any portion of the Converted 2011 CTO Award, the Converted 2013 CTO Award and the CTO Multi-Year Awards that is unvested at the time of a termination due to death or disability (as defined in the legacy SAR plan).

        Effect on Awards of Termination for any Reason other than for Cause.    If Mr. Jones's employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, including death, disability or retirement (except as discussed below with respect to a termination other than for cause within six months following a change in control), he may exercise any vested portion of (i) the Converted 2011 CTO Award until the earlier of the close of business on the six-month anniversary of the date of his termination of employment and the original term of such award and (ii) the Converted 2013 CTO Award and the CTO Multi-Year Awards until the earlier of the close of business on the three-month anniversary of the date of his termination of employment and the original term of such award. In such event, he would forfeit the unvested portion of such awards. In addition, the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any portions of such awards that are unvested at the time of a termination due to retirement (as defined in the legacy SAR plan) or for reasons other than cause. For purposes of the Converted 2011 CTO Award and the Converted 2013 CTO Award, cause is defined in Mr. Jones's 2011 employment agreement and the legacy SAR plan, respectively.

        Termination other than for Cause Six Months after a Change of Control.    If we terminate Mr. Jones's employment other than for cause within six months of a change of control (as defined in the agreement governing the CTO Multi-Year Awards) resulting from a sale of all or substantially all of our business to a non-exempt holder, and Mr. Jones timely delivers a general release in accordance with the terms of the CTO Multi-Year Awards, any portion of the CTO Multi-Year Awards that is unvested as of the date of Mr. Jones's termination of employment will be fully vested and exercisable.

        Mr. Jones's receipt and retention of severance benefits (aside from the CTO Entitlements) upon any termination of employment is also conditioned on his compliance with the post-termination non-compete, non-disclosure and non-interference restrictions in the 2016 CTO Employment Agreement, which generally continue for one year following a termination of his employment.

2016 Bonus Program

        For 2016, we adopted a performance-based cash bonus program for our employees, including each of our named executive officers. The program was adopted and approved by the compensation committee of CTI (our predecessor) in March 2016.

        Pursuant to the program, each participant was assigned a target annual bonus amount equal to a percentage of the employee's annual base salary, which percentage was based on the employee's position and responsibilities. Actual bonus payouts could range from 0% to 150% of target, based on individual performance and the Company's performance relative to pre-established revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA goals, weighted 60% and 40%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016. More specifically with respect to Company performance, (i) threshold revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA would result in the bonus pool funding at the 25% level, (ii) target revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA would result in the bonus pool funding at the 100% level and (iii) maximum revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA would result in the bonus pool funding at the 150% level, with actual funding being linearly interpolated if our actual revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA for 2016 were to fall between the threshold, target and maximum levels. If these goals were not achieved at the threshold level, no bonus payments would have been made to the participants.

        Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the 2016 bonus program was calculated based on our Adjusted EBITDA reported in our 2016 Annual Report, further adjusted for employer taxes pertaining to pre-Spin-Off equity award exercises, certain unbudgeted public company expenses incurred in connection with the Spin-Off and certain changes in our accounting policies. After determining the funding of the 2016 bonus program based on the Company's achievement of the revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA goals, the named executive officers' bonus payments could then be adjusted up or down at the discretion of our compensation committee and, for named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, upon the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer.

        In February 2017, after considering the Company's actual 2016 revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA, the compensation committee approved the funding of the 2016 bonus program. In March 2017, the compensation committee approved bonus payments to our named executive officers as follows: (i) the compensation committee approved Mr. Poore's bonus payment at 75.0% of his target bonus amount in light of his strong individual performance; (ii) the compensation committee approved Mr. Greenquist's bonus payment at 60.2% of his target bonus amount, subject to pro-ration based on his service in 2016 since joining the Company in June 2016; and (iii) upon the recommendation of Mr. Poore, the compensation committee approved Mr. Jones's bonus payment at 90.3% of his target bonus amount in light of his strong individual performance. These payments under the 2016 bonus program are included in the "Summary Compensation Table" above.

Equity Award Grant Policy

        In December 2016, the compensation committee approved an equity award grant policy setting fixed grant dates, subject to compliance with our insider trading policy, to ensure the integrity of our award granting process. Generally, annual equity award grants to our executive officers and other employees who participate in our equity incentive programs from time to time will be made on March 15 of each year, and any change or exception to this annual grant date must be approved by our board of directors or the compensation committee. Outside of these annual awards, other equity award grants to our non-executive employees and independent contractors, including in connection with new hirings and promotions or other special recognition situations, will generally be made (pursuant to a delegation of authority approved by the compensation committee) by our award committee or the chair of the compensation committee on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year. Any grants made pursuant to this delegation of authority will be reported to the compensation committee at its next regular meeting.

39


Table of Contents

        Annual equity awards to our nonemployee directors will be made each year by our board of directors on or as of the date of our annual meeting of stockholders, and any exceptions to this annual grant date must be approved by our board of directors. In addition, grants to new nonemployee directors appointed by our board to fill a vacancy will generally be made on the date of the new director's appointment to our board. The equity award grant policy also permits transaction-related equity award grants to be made as of the closing date of the applicable transaction or, if later, the date on which the recipient begins employment or other service with our Company, and also permits for certain other equity award grants to be made during non-blackout periods under our insider trading policy.

Equity Incentive Plans in which our Named Executive Officers Participate

Second Amended and Restated CommerceHub, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan

        The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to officers and employees of our Company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors, and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the incentive plan. As of January 1, 2017, the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 15,346,064, which reflects the original 13,200,000 shares of common stock, plus the increased shares in 2017 (as described above), subject to antidilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. The number of shares available for issuance will be increased on the first day of every calendar year beginning in 2017 in an amount equal to (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares of our common stock determined by the board of directors. With limited exceptions, under the incentive plan, no employee or independent contractor may be granted in any calendar year awards of stock options or SARs covering more than 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to antidilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan, or may receive payments for cash awards in excess of $4.0 million. No nonemployee director may be granted, during any calendar year, awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $1.0 million, increased to $2.0 million in connection with such nonemployee director's initial year of service on our board of directors. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares of our common stock that we have issued but reacquired, including shares purchased in the open market. Awards granted to our executive officers and other employees and independent contractors under the incentive plan are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, and awards granted to nonemployee directors are administered by our full board of directors. Our compensation committee has delegated authority to grant awards to the chair of the compensation committee and to the award committee, in each case solely with respect to awards to our non-executive employees and within certain parameters established by our compensation committee.

        Subject to the approval of our stockholders, our compensation committee has approved the second amendment and restatement of the incentive plan to (i) set a $4.0 million per year limit on payments to any person pursuant to cash awards under the incentive plan and (ii) extend the term of the incentive plan from July 22, 2021 to July 22, 2022.

Legacy SAR Plan

        All of the new option awards with respect to shares of CHUBK that were issued to holders of stock appreciation rights relating to common stock of our predecessor, CTI, as a result of the Spin-Off were issued pursuant to the legacy SAR plan, rather than the CommerceHub, Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the "transitional plan"). The legacy SAR plan governs the terms and conditions of these new option awards but will not be used to make any grants following the Spin-Off.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Nonemployee Directors

        Director Fees.    We pay each of our directors who is not a CommerceHub employee an annual cash retainer of $30,000 (which we refer to as the "Director Fee") in addition to an annual $150,000 equity award in the form of RSUs relating to CHUBK shares. See "—Director Grants" below for information on the incentive awards granted to our nonemployee directors in 2016. We also pay an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 to each member of our audit committee and our compensation committee, plus an incremental $10,000 annually to the chair of our audit committee, the chair of our compensation committee and the chair of our board. The Director Fees and additional cash retainers are payable quarterly in arrears.

        Equity Incentive Plans.    Awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the incentive plan are administered by our full board of directors. Our board has full power and authority to make grants to our nonemployee directors and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. Our board may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing to our nonemployee directors under the incentive plan.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, our board of directors adopted the transitional plan, which governs the terms and conditions of awards issued in the Spin-Off in connection with adjustments made to awards previously granted by Liberty Interactive with respect to its Liberty Ventures common stock. As a result of these adjustments, new equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock ("new CommerceHub awards") were issued in connection with adjustments made to outstanding equity incentive awards with respect to shares of Liberty Interactive's Liberty Ventures common stock, which had been granted to various directors, officers, employees and consultants of Liberty Interactive, including three of our nonemployee directors—Messrs. Baer, Hollingsworth and Wendling.

        Director Grants.    On November 9, 2016, pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the incentive plan, we granted 10,467 RSUs relating to CHUBK shares to each of Messrs. Baer, Cattini, Goldhill, Hollingsworth, Huseby, Ubiñas and Wendling and to Ms. Morgan. The per-unit grant date fair value of these awards was $14.33, which was the closing price of our CHUBK shares on the grant date, and these awards will vest upon the earlier of (i) date of the Annual Meeting or (ii) the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

        Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan.    Beginning in 2017, our nonemployee directors may defer all or a portion (in 25% increments) of their cash compensation into immediately vested deferred stock units. Nonemployee directors may also defer 100% of their annual RSU grants into immediately vested deferred stock units upon vesting, beginning with RSUs that were granted in 2016 and attributable to service from and after November 16, 2016. Under this arrangement, payments into plan participants' deferral accounts will be made in a single lump sum payment of CHUBK shares to be issued under the incentive plan in January of the year that is either five years or ten years after the original payment date in the case of deferred cash fees or the original vesting date in the case of deferred CHUBK shares relating to RSUs, with early payment to be made upon a change in control or the director's termination from service.

        Stock Ownership Guidelines.    In October 2016, our board of directors adopted stock ownership guidelines that require each nonemployee director to own shares of our Company's common stock equal to at least five times the value of the Director Fee. While there is no time limit by which our directors must meet this required ownership, each nonemployee director is required to retain at least 75% of his or her after-tax vested shares attributable to annual equity award grants from the Company until the required ownership has been met and would be retained after giving effect to any sale of such shares.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed "related party transaction" (defined as any transaction which the Company would be required to disclose pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our board of directors to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our Company without the approval of our audit committee or another independent body of our board of directors designated to address such actual or potential conflicts.

        Prior to the Spin-Off, Liberty Interactive, QVC, Inc. ("QVC"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive, and certain other affiliates of Liberty Interactive were related persons of CommerceHub for purposes of Item 404 of Regulation S-K. As a result, since this proxy statement includes pre-Spin-Off periods, we have disclosed herein activities with these related persons. For future reporting on periods that do not include pre-Spin-Off periods, based on current facts and circumstances, we do not expect Liberty, QVC or certain other affiliates of Liberty Interactive to be related persons of CommerceHub, but we will continue to monitor and evaluate these relationships and other potential relationships with related persons.

Transactions with Liberty Interactive

        The following descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the reorganization agreement and the tax sharing agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2016.

Reorganization Agreement

        On July 15, 2016, we entered into a reorganization agreement with Liberty Interactive to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Spin-Off, certain conditions to the Spin-Off and provisions governing the relationship between us and Liberty Interactive with respect to and resulting from the Spin-Off. The reorganization agreement also provides for mutual indemnification obligations, which are designed to us financially responsible for substantially all of the liabilities that may exist relating to our Company's businesses at the time of the Spin-Off together with certain other specified liabilities, as well as for all liabilities incurred by us after the Spin-Off, and to make Liberty Interactive financially responsible for all of our potential liabilities that are not related to our businesses, including, for example, any liabilities arising as a result of our Company having been a subsidiary of Liberty Interactive prior to the Spin-Off, together with certain other specified liabilities. These indemnification obligations exclude any matters relating to taxes. For a description of the allocation of tax-related obligations, see "—Tax Sharing Agreement" below.

        In addition, the reorganization agreement provides for each of us and Liberty Interactive to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party for five years following the Spin-Off, subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation.

Tax Sharing Agreement

        On July 22, 2016, we and Liberty Interactive entered into a tax sharing agreement that generally allocates certain taxes, tax items and tax-related losses between us and Liberty Interactive. For purposes of this summary: (i) references to the "CommerceHub group" mean, with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof) ending at or before the effective time of the Spin-Off, our Company and each of our subsidiaries at the effective time of the Spin-Off, and with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof)

46


Table of Contents

beginning after the effective time of the Spin-Off, our Company and our subsidiaries during such tax year (or portion thereof); and (ii) references to the "Liberty Interactive group" mean, with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof), Liberty Interactive and its subsidiaries, other than any person that is a member of the CommerceHub group during such tax year (or portion thereof).

        Generally, under the tax sharing agreement, (i) Liberty Interactive will be allocated all taxes attributable to the members of the Liberty Interactive group, and all taxes attributable to the members of the CommerceHub group for a pre-Spin-Off period, that are reported on any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return that includes one or more members of the Liberty Interactive group and one or more members of the CommerceHub group, and (ii) each of Liberty Interactive and CommerceHub will be allocated all taxes attributable to the members of its respective group that are reported on any tax return (including any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return) that includes only the members of its respective group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liberty Interactive will be allocated any taxes and tax-related losses resulting from the Spin-Off and related restructuring transactions, except that we will be allocated any such taxes or tax-related losses that (i) result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, our breach of any of our restrictive covenants relating to the Spin-Off and related restructuring transactions or (ii) result from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Spin-Off as a result of the Spin-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire a 50% or greater interest (by vote or value) in our common stock.

        The parties must indemnify each other for taxes and losses allocated to them under the tax sharing agreement and for taxes and losses arising from a breach by them of their respective covenants and obligations under the tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement also provides for the agreements between the parties related to the filing of tax returns, control of tax audits, cooperation on tax matters, retention of tax records and other tax matters.

Transactions with QVC

        We are currently party to commercial agreements and arrangements with QVC, which were entered into on an arm's-length basis, pursuant to which we provide various solutions and services to QVC in the ordinary course of business. The terms of these arrangements are generally comparable to those with other similar customers of ours, subject to limited exceptions.

        Our revenue model is primarily based on retailer and supplier program relationships whereby many revenue-generating supplier transactions conducted through our platform may be attributable to a single retailer ("total program revenue"). For the year ended December 31, 2016, our total program revenue with QVC (including QVC and suppliers transacting with QVC on our platform) was approximately $7.4 million. We had accounts receivable owing from QVC of approximately $784,000 at December 31, 2016.

Subject to the limitations of the Plan, SARs shall be exercisable in whole or in part upon notice to the Company upon such terms and conditions as are provided in the Agreement.

        7.2    Tandem SARs.    A Tandem SAR may be granted either concurrently with the grant of the related Option or at any time thereafter prior to the complete exercise, termination, expiration or cancellation of such related Option.

The term of a Free Standing SAR may not exceed ten years. However, if the term of a Free Standing SAR expires when trading in the Common Stock is prohibited by law or the Company's insider trading policy, then the term of such Free Standing SAR shall expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition.

        7.4    Consideration.    The consideration to be received upon the exercise of a SAR by the Holder shall be paid in cash, shares of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR was granted (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of such SAR), a combination of cash and such shares of the applicable series of Common Stock or such other consideration, in each case, as provided in the Agreement. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of a SAR, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the Holder will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, to the extent a Free Standing SAR is exercisable, it will be exercised automatically for cash on its expiration date.

        7.5    Limitations.    The applicable Agreement may provide for a limit on the amount payable to a Holder upon exercise of SARs at any time or in the aggregate, for a limit on the number of SARs that may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part for cash during any specified period, for a limit on the time periods during which a Holder may exercise SARs, and for such other limits on the rights of the Holder and such other terms and conditions of the SAR, including a condition that the SAR may be exercised only in accordance with rules and regulations adopted from time to time, as the Committee may determine. Unless otherwise so provided in the applicable Agreement, any such limit relating to a Tandem SAR shall not restrict the exercisability of the related Option. Such rules and regulations may govern the right to exercise SARs granted prior to the adoption or amendment of such rules and regulations as well as SARs granted thereafter.

        7.6    Exercise.    For purposes of this Article VII, the date of exercise of a SAR shall mean the date on which the Company shall have received notice from the Holder of the SAR of the exercise of such SAR (unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement).

The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain such dividends and distributions, as the Committee may designate, paid or distributed on such Restricted Shares, and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of shares of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares; except, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the Restricted Shares until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled or waived; (ii) the Company or its designee will retain custody of the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period as provided in Section 8.2; (iii) other than such dividends and distributions as the Committee may designate, the Company or its designee will retain custody of all distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and vesting, and other conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account; (iv) the Holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions or such Holder's interest in any of them during the Restriction Period; and (v) a breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

        8.4    Grant of Restricted Stock Units.    Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall designate those eligible Persons to be granted Awards of Restricted Stock Units, the value of which is based, in whole or in part, on the Fair Market Value of the shares of any specified series of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, including any rules established pursuant to Section 8.5, Awards of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such terms, restrictions, conditions, vesting requirements and payment rules as the Committee may determine in its discretion, which need not be identical for each Award. Such Awards may provide for the payment of cash consideration by the Person to whom such Award is granted or provide that the Award, and any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection therewith, if applicable, shall be delivered without the payment of cash consideration; provided, however, that the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such shares to be deemed fully paid and nonassessable. The determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement.

        8.5    Restrictions with Respect to Restricted Stock Units.    Any Award of Restricted Stock Units, including any shares of Common Stock which are part of an Award of Restricted Stock Units, may not be assigned, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued or, if later, the date provided by the Committee at the time of the Award. A breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the Committee with respect to any Award of Restricted Stock Units will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalents with respect thereto.

        8.6    Issuance of Restricted Stock Units.    Restricted Stock Units shall be issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period, shall not constitute issued and outstanding shares of the applicable series of Common Stock, and the Holder shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the

A-10


Table of Contents

shares of Common Stock covered by such an Award of Restricted Stock Units, in each case until such shares shall have been issued to the Holder at the end of the Restriction Period. If and to the extent that shares of Common Stock are to be issued at the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered thereby either (i) during the Restriction Period or (ii) in accordance with the rules applicable to Retained Distributions, as the Committee may specify in the Agreement.

        8.7    Cash Payments.    In connection with any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, an Agreement may provide for the payment of a cash amount to the Holder of such Awards at any time after such Awards shall have become vested. Such cash amounts shall be payable in accordance with such additional restrictions, terms and conditions as shall be prescribed by the Committee in the Agreement and shall be in addition to any other salary, incentive, bonus or other compensation payments which such Holder shall be otherwise entitled or eligible to receive from the Company.

        8.8    Completion of Restriction Period.    On the Vesting Date with respect to each Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions, (i) all or the applicable portion of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall become vested, (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall become vested to the extent that the Awards related thereto shall have become vested, and (iii) any cash amount to be received by the Holder with respect to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall become payable, all in accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreement. Any such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall not become vested shall be forfeited to the Company, and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights (including dividend and voting rights) with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall have been so forfeited. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide that the delivery of any Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions and unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall have become vested, and payment of any related cash amounts that shall have become payable under this Article VIII, shall be deferred until such date or dates as the recipient may elect. Any election of a recipient pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be filed in writing with the Committee in accordance with such rules and regulations, including any deadline for the making of such an election, as the Committee may provide, and shall be made in compliance with Section 409A.


ARTICLE IX

CASH AWARDS AND PERFORMANCE AWARDS

        9.1    Cash Awards.    In addition to granting Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units, the Committee shall, subject to the limitations of the Plan, have authority to grant to eligible Persons Cash Awards. Each Cash Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions, restrictions and contingencies, if any, as the Committee shall determine. Restrictions and contingencies limiting the right to receive a cash payment pursuant to a Cash Award shall be based upon the achievement of single or multiple Performance Objectives over a performance period established by the Committee. The determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement.

        9.2    Designation as a Performance Award.    The Committee shall have the right to designate any Award of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units as a Performance Award. All Cash Awards shall be designated as Performance Awards.

A-11


Table of Contents

        9.3    Performance Objectives.    The grant or vesting of a Performance Award shall be subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives over a performance period established by the Committee based upon one or more of the following business criteria that apply to the Holder, one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries of the Company or the applicable sector of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies: increased revenue; net income measures (including income after capital costs and income before or after taxes); stock price measures (including growth measures and total stockholder return); price per share of Common Stock; market share; earnings per share (actual or targeted growth); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA); economic value added (or an equivalent metric); market value added; debt to equity ratio; cash flow measures (including cash flow return on capital, cash flow return on tangible capital, net cash flow and net cash flow before financing activities); return measures (including return on equity, return on average assets, return on capital, risk-adjusted return on capital, return on investors' capital and return on average equity); operating measures (including operating income, funds from operations, cash from operations, after-tax operating income, sales volumes, production volumes and production efficiency); expense measures (including overhead cost and general and administrative expense); margins; stockholder value; total stockholder return; proceeds from dispositions; total market value and corporate values measures (including ethics compliance, environmental and safety). Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Objective need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). The Committee shall have the authority to determine whether the Performance Objectives and other terms and conditions of the Award are satisfied, and the Committee's determination as to the achievement of Performance Objectives relating to a Performance Award shall be made in writing.

        9.4    Section 162(m) of the Code.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Committee intends for a Performance Award to be granted and administered in a manner designed to preserve the deductibility of the compensation resulting from such Award in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, then the Performance Objectives for such particular Performance Award relative to the particular period of service to which the Performance Objectives relate shall be established by the Committee in writing (i) no later than 90 days after the beginning of such period and (ii) prior to the completion of 25% of such period.

        9.5    Waiver of Performance Objectives.    The Committee shall have no discretion to modify or waive the Performance Objectives or conditions to the grant or vesting of a Performance Award unless such Award is not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and the relevant Agreement provides for such discretion.

A-13


Table of Contents

        10.3    Right of Company to Terminate Employment or Service.    Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect thereto, shall confer or be construed to confer on any Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to terminate the employment or service of the Holder at any time, with or without cause, subject, however, to the provisions of any employment or consulting agreement between the Holder and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or in the case of a director, to the charter and bylaws, as the same may be in effect from time to time.

        10.4    Prohibition on Repricing of Awards.    Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2, in no event will the Committee, without first obtaining approval by the majority of the shareholders of the Company, (i) decrease the purchase price of an Option or SAR after the date of grant; (ii) accept for surrender to the Company any outstanding Option or SAR granted under this Plan as consideration for the grant of a new Award; (iii) repurchase from Holders whether for cash or any other consideration any outstanding Options or SARs that have an purchase price per share higher than the then current Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock; or (iv) grant any Option or SAR that contains a so-called "reload" feature under which additional Options, SARs or other Awards are granted automatically to the Holder upon exercise of the original Option or SAR.

        10.5    Nonalienation of Benefits.    Except as set forth herein, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer,

A-14


Table of Contents

garnishment, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, garnish, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Person entitled to such benefits.

        10.6    Written Agreement.    Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as the Committee shall approve from time to time in its discretion, specifying the terms and provisions of such Award which may not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that if more than one type of Award is made to the same Holder, such Awards may be evidenced by a single Agreement with such Holder. Each grantee of an Option, SAR, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Award (including a Cash Award) shall be notified promptly of such grant, and a written Agreement shall be promptly delivered by the Company. Any such written Agreement may contain (but shall not be required to contain) such provisions as the Committee deems appropriate to insure that the penalty provisions of Section 4999 of the Code will not apply to any stock or cash received by the Holder from the Company. Any such Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Committee as contemplated by Section 10.8(b).

        10.7    Nontransferability.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and expressly provided for in an Agreement, Awards are not transferable (either voluntarily or involuntarily), before or after a Holder's death, except as follows: (a) during the Holder's lifetime, pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or any applicable Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b) after the Holder's death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case. Any person to whom Awards are transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Awards subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any applicable Agreement.

        10.8    Termination and Amendment.    

A-15


Table of Contents

        10.9    Government and Other Regulations.    The obligation of the Company with respect to Awards shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including the effectiveness of any registration statement required under the Securities Act of 1933, and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or association on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. For so long as any series of Common Stock are registered under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with any legal requirements (i) to maintain a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to all shares of the applicable series of Common Stock that may be issuable, from time to time, to Holders under the Plan and (ii) to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act.

        10.10    Withholding.    The Company's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or pay cash in respect of any Award under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. Federal, state and local withholding tax due at the time of an Award, upon the exercise of any Option or SAR or upon the vesting of, or expiration of restrictions with respect to, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or the satisfaction of the Performance Objectives applicable to a Performance Award, as appropriate, may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Holder or through the withholding of shares otherwise issuable to such Holder, upon such terms and conditions (including the conditions referenced in Section 6.5) as the Committee shall determine. If the Holder shall fail to pay, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment to the Company of, all such federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Holder an amount equal to any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such Award.

        10.11    Nonexclusivity of the Plan.    The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of stock options and the awarding of stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

        10.12    Exclusion from Other Plans.    By acceptance of an Award, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such Award is special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or other employee benefit plan, program or policy of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. In addition, each beneficiary of a deceased Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such Award will not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage, if any, provided by the Company on the life of the Holder which is payable to such beneficiary under any life insurance plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

        10.13    Unfunded Plan.    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall be required to segregate any cash or any shares of Common Stock which may at any time be represented by Awards, and the Plan shall constitute an "unfunded" plan of the Company. Except as provided in Article VIII with respect to Awards of Restricted Shares and except as expressly set forth in an Agreement, no Holder shall have voting or other rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an Award prior to the delivery of such shares. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall, by any provisions of the Plan, be deemed to be a trustee of any shares of Common Stock or any other property, and the liabilities of the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company to any Holder pursuant to the Plan shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contract obligations as are created by or pursuant to the Plan, and the rights of any Holder, former service provider or beneficiary under the Plan shall be limited to those of a general creditor of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be. In its sole discretion, the Board may authorize the

A-16


Table of Contents

creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations of the Company under the Plan, provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

        10.14    Subplans.    The Company may, in its discretion, adopt any sub-plans to this Plan ("Subplan") as it deems necessary, including without limitation, to provide that grants of Awards with respect to Holders working outside the United States comply with matters of local law or practice, including tax and securities laws. Awards made pursuant to any Subplan shall be subject to the limitations in Article IV.

        10.15    Governing Law.    The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

        10.16    Accounts.    The delivery of any shares of Common Stock and the payment of any amount in respect of an Award shall be for the account of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, and any such delivery or payment shall not be made until the recipient shall have paid or made satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any applicable withholding taxes as provided in Section 10.10.

        10.17    Legends.    Any statement of ownership evidencing shares of Common Stock subject to an Award shall bear such legends as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect or refer to any terms, conditions or restrictions of the Award applicable to such shares, including any to the effect that the shares represented thereby may not be disposed of unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company, that such disposition will not violate any federal or state securities laws.

        10.18    Company's Rights.    The grant of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes of or to its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets.

        10.19    Section 409A.    The Plan and the Awards made hereunder are intended to be (i) "stock rights" exempt from Section 409A of the Code ("Section 409A") pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(b)(5), (ii) "short-term deferrals" exempt from Section 409A or (iii) payments which are deferred compensation and paid in compliance with Section 409A, and the Plan and each Agreement shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. Any adjustments of Awards intended to be "stock rights" exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(b)(5) shall be conducted in a manner so as not to constitute a grant of a new stock right or a change in the time and form of payment pursuant to Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v). In the event an Award is not exempt from Section 409A, (x) payment pursuant to the relevant Agreement shall be made only on a permissible payment event or at a specified time in compliance with Section 409A, (y) no accelerated payment shall be made pursuant to Section 10.1(b) unless the Board Change, Approved Transaction or Control Purchase constitutes a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(5) or otherwise constitutes a permissible payment event under Section 409A and (z) no amendment or modification of such Award may be made except in compliance with the anti-deferral and anti-acceleration provisions of Section 409A. No deferrals of compensation otherwise payable under the Plan or any Award shall be allowed, whether at the discretion of the Company or the Holder, except in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. If a Holder is identified by the Company as a "specified employee" within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the date on which such Holder has a "separation from service" (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Holder's separation from service,

A-17


Table of Contents

(2) the date of the Holder's death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

        10.20    Administrative Blackouts.    In addition to its other powers hereunder, the Committee has the authority to suspend (i) the exercise of Options or SARs and (ii) any other transactions under the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate for administrative reasons.

        10.21    Clawback Policy.    Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award shall be subject to recovery or clawback by the Company under any clawback policy adopted by the Company in accordance with SEC regulations or other applicable law, as amended or superseded from time to time.
