On April 3, 2024, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of O-I Glass, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Gordon J.

Mr. Hardie will succeed Andres A. Lopez, who, as previously announced, is retiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting.
Mr. Hardie, age 60, has served on the Board since May 2015. Mr. Hardie retired as an executive in September 2019 having served as President, Food & Ingredients at Bunge Ltd. (NYSE: BG) (“Bunge”)—a global leader in agriculture, food and ingredients, since January 2018. Mr. Hardie previously served as Managing Director at Bunge (2011-2017), and as a member of the Executive Committee. Mr. Hardie led the global Operational Excellence program for Bunge from 2013 to 2019. In his role at Bunge, Mr. Hardie served as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Walter Rau AG (Germany) and as Chairman of the Board of Bunge Loders Croklaan B.V. (Holland). Prior to joining Bunge, Mr. Hardie was a Managing Director at Morningside Partners, an M&A advisory firm he established in 2009. Mr. Hardie previously served in leadership positions at Goodman Fielder Ltd (ASX: GFF), including Managing Director FG Bakeries (2003-2009) and Sales & Marketing Director and Marketing & Innovation Director (2002-2003). Mr. Hardie was previously Group General Manager – Southcorp Wines Ltd (ASX: SCW) and Vice President – Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa at Foster’s Brewing Group Ltd (ASX: FBG). Before immigrating to Australia in 1999, Mr. Hardie was Regional Director for the Americas and Asia Pacific Regions at Pernod Ricard Irish Distillers. Mr. Hardie holds a B.A. from the University College Cork and an M.B.A. from University College Dublin Smurfit Graduate Business School and has completed the Advanced Management Program and the AVIRA CEO program at INSEAD. He has also completed the Corporate Director Certificate at Harvard Business School. In October 2023, Mr. Hardie was appointed Chair of MagrowTec Ltd., a privately held Agtech company based in Ireland. He previously served on the boards of ARYZTA AG from 2020 to October 2023, Greencore Group plc from 2020 to 2022 and Zaklady Tluszcowe Kruszwica from 2013 to 2016. Mr. Hardie is an advisor to Temasek, a global investment company. Mr. Hardie also serves on the North American Advisory Board of the Smurfit Graduate School of Business, University College Dublin.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. Hardie and the Company entered into an employment offer letter (the “Offer Letter”), setting forth certain terms and conditions of his employment as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Hardie is entitled to an initial annual base salary of $1,200,000 and is eligible to earn an annual cash short-term incentive award targeted at 150% of his annual eligible earnings based on the attainment of applicable performance goals as determined by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board. In addition, under the Offer Letter, Mr. Hardie is eligible to participate in the health, welfare and retirement benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of its similarly-situated executives from time to time, as well as for certain additional benefits provided to similarly-situated executives of the Company (including eligibility to participate in the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Policy).
Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Hardie will be eligible for annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards with an aggregate annual grant date value initially targeted at $7,000,000. With respect to Mr. Hardie’s annual LTI awards for calendar year 2024, the aggregate annual grant date value will be allocated as follows: 60% of such value will be granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and the remaining 40% of such value will be granted in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
In addition, in connection with his commencement as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hardie will be granted a one-time award of PSUs with an aggregate grant value targeted at $600,000 and a one-time award of RSUs with an aggregate grant value of $400,000 (together, the “Sign-On Awards”). Mr. Hardie’s 2024 annual LTI awards and Sign-On Awards will be subject to the same vesting conditions, performance metrics and other terms and conditions applicable to annual LTI awards granted to other executives of the Company in March 2024.
The Offer Letter also provides that the Company will reimburse Mr. Hardie for reasonable tax preparation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by him in connection with the Offer Letter.
Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, if Mr. Hardie does not obtain all necessary work visas, work permits and/or entry documents to reside and work in the United States on or before August 1, 2024, the Offer Letter will terminate, and Mr. Hardie will not become employed by the Company.
The foregoing description of the Offer Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Offer Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
