ENERAL

NFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of record on December 20, 2016 by the Board of Directors of Moog Inc. (the
Company), in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, February 15, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. PST, and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the

If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it insofar as it has not been exercised. Any revocation
may be made in person at the meeting, or by submitting a proxy bearing a date subsequent to that on the proxy to be revoked, or by written notification to the Secretary of the Company.

AND

UTSTANDING
S
HARES
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on December 20, 2016 as the record date for determining the holders of common
stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On December 20, 2016, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote, a total of 32,661,777 shares of Class A common stock (Class A shares) and 4,259,495 shares of
Class B common stock (Class B shares).
V
OTING
R
IGHTS
AND
I
NSTRUCTIONS
Holders of a majority of each of the Class A and Class B shares issued
and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting.
Holders of
Class A shares are entitled to elect at least 25% of the Board of Directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number, so long as the number of outstanding Class A shares is at least 10% of the number of outstanding shares of both classes of
common stock. Currently, the holders of Class A shares are entitled, as a class, to elect three directors of the Company, and the holders of the Class B shares are entitled, as a class, to elect the remaining six directors. Other than on
matters relating to the election of directors or as required by law, where the holders of Class A shares and Class B shares vote as separate classes, the record holder of each outstanding Class A share is entitled to a
one-tenth
vote per share, and the record holder of each outstanding Class B share is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be brought before the meeting.
The Class A directors and the Class B directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the respective class. The
Moog Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the ratification of the auditors and other matters submitted to the meeting that would not require a separate class vote by law may be adopted by a majority of the Class A and Class B shares voting
together as a single class cast in favor or against the proposal, a quorum of holders of Class A shares and Class B shares being present.
2
Shares held in a brokerage account or by another nominee are considered held in
street name by the shareholder. A broker or nominee holding shares for a shareholder in street name may not vote on matters relating to the election of directors or the approval of an employee stock purchase plan, unless the
broker or nominee receives specific voting instructions from the shareholder. As a result, absent specific instructions, brokers or nominees may not vote a shareholders shares on Proposal 1, the election of directors, and on Proposal 2, the
adoption of the Moog Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Such shares will be considered broker
non-votes
for such proposal. Broker
non-votes
in connection
with the election of one or more nominees for director will not be counted and will have no effect. In accordance with New York law, abstentions and broker
non-votes
are not counted in determining the votes
cast in favor or against Proposal 2, the adoption of the Moog Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan or Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the 2017 fiscal year.
Therefore, it is particularly important for shareholders holding shares in street name to instruct their brokers as to
how they wish to vote their shares.

PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors is
comprised of two classes of directors, Class A directors and Class B directors, elected by holders of Class A shares and holders of Class B shares, respectively. Within each class of directors there exist three subclasses, such
that each of the subclasses is nearly equal in number.
Three directors are to be elected at the meeting, of which one is to be a
Class A director elected by the holders of the outstanding Class A shares, and of which two are to be Class B directors elected by the holders of the outstanding Class B shares. The three nominees will be elected to hold office
until 2020, or until the election and qualification of their successors.
For each properly executed proxy, the persons named in the
enclosed proxy will vote Class A shares for the election of the Class A nominee named in the following table, and Class B shares for the election of the Class B nominees named in the following table, unless the proxy directs
otherwise or is revoked. In the event any of the nominees should be unable to serve as a director, the proxy will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons acting under it. It is not expected that any of the nominees
will be unable to serve. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.
The
Companys current Board of Directors and nominees for director share certain characteristics, experience and capabilities critical to effective board membership. Sound business judgment essential to intelligent and effective decision-making,
experience at the policy-making level, relevant educational background, integrity, honesty and the ability to work collaboratively are some of the attributes possessed that qualify them to serve on the Board. The specific employment and leadership
experiences, knowledge and capabilities of both the nominees for director and standing directors are further described in their biographies on the following pages.
Certain information regarding nominees for Class A and Class B directors, as well as those directors whose terms of office
continue beyond the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, is set forth in the following tables. All of the nominees have previously served as directors and have been elected as directors at prior annual meetings.

TRUCTURE
John R. Scannell was named Chief Executive Officer in December 2011 and Chairman of the Board in January 2014. The Board has determined
that at this time it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for one person to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes this is the appropriate leadership structure because
Mr. Scannell is able to employ the experience and perspective gained over the past 26 years in his various roles of increasing responsibility at the Company to guide the Board effectively and efficiently in managing the property, affairs and
business of the Company. While the Board believes this is the most appropriate structure at this time, it recognizes that there may be circumstances in the future that would lead to separate individuals serving in each capacity.

OMINATING

OVERNANCE
C
OMMITTEE
The Nominating and Governance Committee is composed solely
of independent directors, and participates in the search for qualified directors. The criteria for selecting nominees for election as directors of the Company shall include experience in the operation of large public or private organizations, as
well as accomplishments, education, capabilities, high personal and professional integrity and the willingness to represent the interests of all shareholders and not of any special interest group. From time to time, the Nominating and Governance
Committee will engage a professional search firm, to which it pays a fee, to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees. After conducting an initial
12
evaluation of a candidate, the Nominating and Governance Committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director and will also ask the candidate to
meet with other directors and management. If the Nominating and Governance Committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to the Board of Directors, it will recommend to the full Board that candidates nomination for election.
The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a formal written policy with regard to considering diversity in identifying
nominees for director, but, when considering director candidates, it seeks individuals with backgrounds and capabilities that, when combined with those of the Companys other directors, bring a broad range of complementary skills, expertise,
industry and regulatory knowledge, and diversity of perspectives to build a capable, responsive and effective Board. Diversity considerations for a director nominee may vary at any time according to the particular area of expertise being sought to
complement the existing Board composition.
A shareholder wishing to nominate a candidate should forward the candidates name
and a detailed background of the candidates qualifications to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Companys
by-laws.
In making a nomination, shareholders
should take into consideration the criteria set forth above and in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee. A copy of the charter is
available on the Companys website.
The Nominating and Governance Committee met twice in fiscal 2016 and on November 14,
2016, met and nominated Messrs. Kayser and Scannell and Ms. Reichelderfer for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in monitoring the integrity of
the Companys financial statements, the Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors qualifications and independence, and the performance of the Companys internal audit function and the
independent auditor. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the independent auditor and is directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. The independent auditor reports
directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management and the independent auditor the annual audited and quarterly financial statements, the disclosures in the Companys annual and quarterly reports under
the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, critical accounting policies and practices used by the Company, the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and the
Companys major financial risk exposures. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on the Companys website.
All of the Audit Committee members meet the independence and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Board has determined all Audit Committee members are Audit Committee financial experts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee held five meetings in fiscal 2016, in person and by
telephone conference. On a regular basis, the Audit Committee met with the Companys internal auditors and met separately with the independent auditors and management.

C
OMMITTEE
The Executive Compensation Committee is responsible for discharging the Board of Directors duties relating to executive
compensation, including making all decisions regarding compensation of the executive officers and is responsible for administering the Companys executive compensation program. The Executive Compensation Committee reviews both short-term and
long-term corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation of the CEO and the other executive officers. The Executive Compensation Committee also reviews and discusses with management the impact of Moogs compensation policies and
practices on risk-taking within the Company. The Executive Compensation Committee evaluates, at least once a year, the performance of the CEO and other executive officers in light of these goals and objectives and, based on these evaluations,
approves the compensation of the CEO and the other executive officers. The Executive Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board incentive compensation plans that are subject to the Boards approval.
The Executive Compensation Committee is responsible for approving stock incentive awards to executive officers and key employees. The
Executive Compensation Committee reviews management recommendations regarding awards
13
to both executive officers and key employees, evaluating such potential awards in relation to overall compensation levels. The Executive Compensation Committee also reviews such awards with
consideration for the potential dilution to shareholders, and limits stock awards such that the potential dilutive effect is within normally accepted practice. With regard to option and SAR grants to directors, such grants are approved by the full
Board of Directors. The Executive Compensation Committee held two meetings in fiscal 2016.
All of the Executive Compensation
Committee members meet the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Executive Compensation Committee. A copy of the charter is available on the Companys website.
During fiscal 2016, the Executive Compensation Committee utilized data provided in a report prepared by Korn
Ferry-Hay
Group (KFHG), an independent professional compensation consulting firm, to assist and guide the Executive Compensation Committee. The KFHG data was used to compare Moogs executive
compensation program with current industry trends, and to benchmark individual officer compensation levels against our peer group and KFHGs wider executive database. This report was also used to establish the compensation level of our CEO. Our
CEO makes recommendations to the Executive Compensation Committee regarding the compensation levels of other executive officers.
Moog used KFHG for compensation consultation services, which are provided independently of the services to the Executive Compensation
Committee. The amount of fees for these additional services performed by KFHG was approximately $60,000 for fiscal 2016. The Executive Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of KFHG pursuant to New York Stock Exchange rules and
concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent KFHG from independently providing services to the Executive Compensation Committee.
Additional information regarding the Executive Compensation Committees processes and procedures for establishing and overseeing
executive compensation is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.

RANSACTIONS
We use a combination of Company policies and established review procedures, including adherence to New York Stock Exchange Listing
standards, to ensure related party transactions are reviewed, approved and ratified, as appropriate. We do not maintain these policies and procedures under a single written policy.
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for developing, recommending and reviewing annually the Board of Directors
Corporate Governance Guidelines to comply with state and federal laws and regulations, and with New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards. The Board of Directors is further required to meet the independence standards set forth in the New York Stock
Exchange Listed Company Manual. The Audit Committee is responsible for the review, approval or ratification of any related party transactions as noted in the Compliance Oversight Responsibilities section of the Charter of the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors. Our Statement of Business Ethics, which applies to all directors, executive officers and employees, provides guidance on matters such as conflicts of interest and procurement integrity, among others.
We require that each director and executive officer complete a questionnaire annually. The questionnaire requires positive written
affirmation regarding related party transactions that may constitute a conflict of interest, including: any transaction or proposed transaction in excess of $120,000 involving the director or executive officer or an immediate family member and the
Company, a subsidiary or any pension or retirement savings plan; any indebtedness to the Company; dealings with competitors, suppliers or customers; any interest in real or personal property in which the corporation also has an interest; and the
potential sale of any real or personal property or business venture or
14
opportunity that will be presented to the Company for consideration. We review each questionnaire to identify any transactions or relationships that may constitute a conflict of interest, require
disclosure, or affect an independence determination.
Any such transactions with the directors, executive officers, their immediate
family members or any 5% shareholder are reviewed by the Audit Committee, and, when necessary, the full Board of Directors. These reviews are intended to ensure any such transactions are conducted on terms as fair as if they were on an arms
length basis and do not conflict with the directors or executive officers responsibilities to the Company. If the Audit Committee or Board of Directors were to determine that a transaction is not on terms as fair as if it were on an
arms length basis, the transaction would be modified such that the transaction were as fair as if it were on an arms length basis. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors place significant reliance on their collective business
judgment, experience and expertise in their review and deliberations.
For situations in which it is either clear that a conflict of
interest exists or there is a potential conflict of interest, the related director or executive officer is obligated to recuse himself from any discussion on the business arrangement. That director or executive officer does not participate in
approving or not approving the related transaction. The remaining members of the Board of Directors make those determinations.
There
were no transactions required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation
S-K
that were not required to be reviewed or where the Companys policies and procedures for review were not followed in fiscal
2016.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Effective January 1,
2016, the board increased the cash amount paid to
non-employee
directors from $10,000 to $20,000 per quarter.
Non-employee
directors are also reimbursed for expenses
incurred in attending Board and Committee meetings. The aggregate cash remuneration for attending Board and committee meetings for all
non-management
directors, excluding reimbursement of
out-of-pocket
expenses, was $430,000 for fiscal 2016.
During fiscal 2016, awards were granted under the 2014 Moog Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2014 LTI Plan), which provides
that awards in a certain number of underlying Class A shares or Class B shares may be granted to
non-employee
directors. Messrs. Gisel, Gundermann, Kayser, Lawrence, Lipke, and Maskrey each were
granted 2,500 SARs to be settled in Class B shares at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a Class B share on the date of grant.

Directors deferring cash fees must notify the Company of any changes to the elections to defer fees for a calendar year by the end of the preceding calendar year, with new directors having 30 days to make such an election. Directors deferring cash
fees accrue interest monthly at the average of the six month Treasury bill rate. During fiscal 2016, three directors participated in this plan. The table below shows the amounts deferred for fiscal 2016.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
I
NTRODUCTION
This CD&A
provides detailed information about the compensation arrangements for the Companys NEOs:

Donald R. Fishback Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
|

This CD&A includes the Executive Compensation Committees compensation philosophy, the objectives of our compensation program
and a discussion of each element of compensation paid to the NEOs for our most recent fiscal year.
E
XECUTIVE
S
UMMARY
The objective of the Companys executive compensation program is to provide a compensation package that will attract, retain,
motivate and reward superior executives who must operate in a highly competitive and technologically challenging environment.
2016 Performance
Fiscal 2016 was another year of technical achievements for the Company and its products in many different applications despite being a
tough year in several of its markets, particularly energy, industrial and defense. As in previous years, we responded with restructuring and portfolio pruning. Fiscal 2016 was also a year of heavy R&D spend as we continue to invest for the
long-term future of the Company. During the fiscal year, the Company won several new military aircraft development contracts, acquired controlling interest in an additive manufacturing company and completed a strategic review of our Medical Devices
segment resulting in its integration into our Components group, all of which positioned us well for long-term growth.
Fiscal 2016
sales of $2.41 billion were down 4% year over year, with weaker foreign currencies accounting for almost a quarter of the sales decline. Sales were down in Aircraft, Space and Defense, Components, and Industrial. Full year company-wide
operating margins were 9.9%. Operating margins exclusive of restructuring were up in Aircraft, Space and Defense, and Industrial. Operating profit was down in Components, as they struggled with challenges across all markets. Net earnings were down
4% while diluted earnings per share of $3.47 were up 4% on lower share count. Free cash flow, as defined as net cash provided by operating activity less investment in property, plant and equipment for the year was $149 million, and was 120% of
net earnings.
2016 Executive Compensation Assessment
The Executive Compensation Committee uses data provided by Korn
Ferry-Hay
Group (KFHG), a
compensation consultant, to establish competitive salaries for each of the NEOs. Information regarding the compensation consultant and this analysis are provided in greater detail throughout the CD&A.
In our total direct compensation programs (detailed on pages 21 to 22), each of the three major elements, base salary, Short Term
Incentive (STI), and Long Term Incentive (LTI), are considered independently. However, the Executive Compensation Committee also considers how our total compensation compares with the total compensation of comparable
executives in peer organizations.
In summary, the key aspects of the Companys compensation for the NEOs are as follows:
|
|
|
Total Direct Compensation for all NEOs between 31% and 77% of peer group medians, with an average of 59%;
|
|
|
|
Base salaries between 85% and 107% of the peer-group medians, with an average of 97%;

(continued)
|
|
|
Base salary increases tied to market benchmarks, time in position and individual job performance;
|
|
|
|
STI paid according to increase in earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow (FCF) conversion;
|
|
|
|
Value of Long-Term Incentives (SAR and PSU awards) between 18% and 67% of peer group median LTIs, with an average of
47%;
|
|
|
|
SAR and PSU awards link NEO compensation to long-term shareholder interests;
|
|
|
|
Shares related to outstanding unexercised stock options and SARs are approximately 1.0% of total outstanding shares;
|
|
|
|
Shares related to outstanding PSU awards are approximately 0.1% of total outstanding shares;
|
|
|
|
Company policy prevents
re-pricing
option grants and SAR awards;
|
|
|
|
Change in control agreements are double triggered.
|
The Role of Shareholder
Say-On-Pay
Votes
The Company provides its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote every three years on its executive compensation
program (referred to as a
say-on-pay
proposal). At the Companys Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on January 7, 2015, approximately 99% of the
votes cast on the
say-on-pay
proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The Executive Compensation Committee believes this result affirms
shareholders support of the Companys approach to executive compensation, and therefore maintained this approach in fiscal 2016. The Executive Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of the Companys
say-on-pay
votes when making future compensation decisions for the NEOs.
Changes to
Executive Compensation Design
The Executive Compensation Committee agreed with senior management to implement changes to the
Companys STI and LTI plans in this fiscal year.
Prior to fiscal 2016, annual cash bonuses, or STI, were based on the annual
percentage growth in EPS. Beginning with the award for fiscal 2016, STI now includes an additional performance metric in the form of FCF conversion (FCF divided by net earnings). Targets are independent of each other and the payment ultimately
depends on performance against these two criteria. In fiscal 2016, EPS affected 45% of the award, while FCF affected 55% of the award. The Company believes that this improves alignment between the annual bonuses paid and Company performance.
Changes have also been made to the structure of our LTI program. In fiscal 2016, new performance-based restricted stock unit awards
(PSUs) were granted in conjunction with SARs under the 2014 LTI Plan. The PSUs vest conditionally based on a three-year performance period, using total sales and operating margin targets.
The Company believes that these changes improve alignment between both short and long term incentives and Company performance. The
metrics selected for linkage to these plans were chosen because of their profile within the Company as key performance indicators.

P
HILOSOPHY
AND
O
BJECTIVES
The main objective of the
Companys executive compensation program is to provide a compensation package that will attract, retain, motivate and reward superior executives who must operate in a highly competitive and technologically challenging environment.
Moog seeks to do this by linking annual changes in executive compensation to overall Company performance, as well as each
individuals contribution to the results achieved. The emphasis on overall Company performance is intended to align the executives financial interests with the interest of shareholders.
19
C
OMPENSATION
D
ISCUSSION
AND
A
NALYSIS
(continued)
Moog also seeks fairness in total compensation with reference to external comparisons,
internal comparisons and the relationship between management and
non-management
remuneration.
The Companys executive compensation program aims to take a balanced approach. On the one hand, we recognize that near-term
shareholder value can be created by the achievement of near-term results. To reward near-term success, annual salary increases are linked to market rates and individual job performance, and the STI reflects annual increases in EPS and FCF
conversion. On the other hand, the Companys business, particularly in aerospace and defense, requires that executives make decisions and commitments where benefits, in financial terms, take years to develop. The Companys LTI program is
intended to reward long-term success and to align executives financial interests with those of long-term shareholders.
R
OLES
AND
G
OVERNANCE
The Executive Compensation Committee
The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board is composed solely of independent,
non-employee
directors. The Executive Compensation Committee meets to determine CEO compensation, and has final approval on all elements of officer compensation. Any changes in benefit plans which affect executive officers are presented to the Executive
Compensation Committee for review and approval, prior to presentation to the entire Board.
For fiscal 2016, this committee
comprised the following members:
|
|
|
Chair William G. Gisel, Jr.
|
Independent Consultant
The Executive
Compensation Committee selects and retains the services of KFHG, a compensation consultant, to provide professional advice on the Companys executive officer compensation. KFHG is retained directly by the Executive Compensation Committee and
works directly with the Executive Compensation Committees chairman. KFHG advises on the design of compensation arrangements and provides an independent market assessment of peer companies, using KFHGs Job Evaluation methodology and
general industry compensation and practices.
The compensation consultant works with management to collect information, to solicit
managements input and to understand Moogs plans, goals and actual performance. The consulting relationship is reviewed by the Executive Compensation Committee annually to determine its satisfaction with the services and advice provided
by the compensation consultant.
See Executive Compensation Committee on page 14 for more information about the services
provided by KFHG and its independence.

The Basis of Comparison
As part of their review process, KFHG makes comparisons of the Companys compensation program to two groups of companies. The first
comparison is with KFHGs proprietary Industrial Executive Compensation Report. The second comparison is a group of seventeen companies whose businesses are similar to Moogs and whose revenues are reasonably comparable. KFHG reviews this
peer group each year and recommends changes where appropriate. No changes to the peer group were proposed in fiscal 2016.

ROGRAM
Base Salary
Both the Executive
Compensation Committee and the Company use KFHGs Job Evaluation methodology for professional roles, including its NEOs. The KFHGs Job Evaluation methodology is an analytical, factor-based scheme that measures the relative importance of
jobs by assigning them points within an organization. Each NEO has an evaluation score that is used to benchmark compensation. KFHG provides annual peer-company salary data, as well as data from their wider executive compensation survey. This
information provides the basis for determining a competitive base salary for each position. NEOs base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjustments are based on a comparison with market benchmarks, time in position and individual job
performance.
Short Term Incentive (STI)
The Companys senior leadership, both managerial and technical, numbers approximately 385 persons. This entire group, including the
NEOs, participates in a STI in which a cash bonus payout each year is a function of the year-over-year percentage growth in the Companys earnings per share, and free cash flow conversion. A simple formula is used to determine the cash bonus
amount which is dependent upon EPS growth and FCF conversion. Any payout depends entirely on these two elements. The two elements operate independently of each other and there are no individual performance incentives in the formula. In fiscal 2016,
EPS affected 45% of the award, while FCF affected 55% of the award.
The Company uses these two metrics to underscore the importance
of collaboration at all levels of leadership. The Company supplies products to a diverse array of customers in a variety of global markets. The common thread is that the technology used in our high-performance precision control and fluid flow
systems, and our other key technical resources, are transferrable from one segment to another in response to fluctuating customer demands. Having our senior leadership focus on whats good for the Company has been an important
factor in the Companys consistent performance. See page 25 for a detailed explanation of the STI calculation method.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)
Moog Inc. 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan
In
January 2015, the 2014 LTI Plan was approved by shareholders, providing for the grant of awards covering 2,000,000 Class A or Class B shares of stock. While we believe our prior long-term incentive arrangements have been effective, the
2014 LTI Plan was implemented to provide a more flexible framework that permits the development and implementation of a variety of stock-based incentives which enable the Company to base awards on key performance metrics as well as to further align
our LTI compensation with our peers and shareholder interests.
The first awards were granted under this plan in fiscal 2016,
utilizing a mix of SARs granted in Class A and B shares along with PSUs, also granted in Class A and B shares. The LTI awards made in fiscal 2016 continued to utilize SARs to provide continuity with prior grants, aligning awards to share
price increases over the medium to long term. PSUs were awarded to introduce an equity compensation element that is linked to key performance indicators. The number of PSUs that will vest will depend on growth and profitability performance, which
will be measured at the end of a three-year performance period.
The number of annual SARs and PSUs awarded was determined in
collaboration with KFHG utilizing peer company survey data. Individual performance is not used to determine the number of SAR or PSU awards.
Moog Inc. 2008
Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (2008 SAR Plan)
The 2008 SAR Plan terminated on January 7, 2015, following
shareholder approval of the 2014 LTI Plan. The 2008 SAR Plan covers outstanding SARs, which confer a benefit based on appreciation in value of Class A shares, and are settled in the form of Class A shares.
The purpose of the 2008 SAR Plan was to promote the long-term success of the Company and to create shareholder value by
(a) encouraging
non-employee
directors, officers and key executives performing service for the Company to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of
eligible participants with exceptional qualifications, and (c) linking participants directly to shareholder interests through ownership of the Company. Individual performance was not used to determine the number of SARs awarded under this plan.
2003 Stock Option Plan
While the
Company currently does not issue stock option awards, such awards were a consistent element of executive compensation until 2008. The 2003 Stock Option Plan, which terminated in November 2012, covers outstanding stock options for Class A shares
in the form of both incentive stock options (ISOs) and
non-qualified
stock options (NQSOs). Stock options issued to executive officers and directors could not be exercised until at least one year after the
option grant. Each executive officer option grant contained a vesting schedule, with the vesting schedule constructed to maintain the treatment of the options as ISOs. However, in certain cases options granted to executive officers will be treated
as NQSOs due to IRS limitations. NQSOs issued to
non-employee
directors do not have a vesting schedule and could be exercised beginning one year after the option grant.
Stock options awarded for Class A shares under these plans did not consider individual performance. It is Company policy not to
re-price
option grants. In the interest of maintaining alignment between management and shareholders interests, the 2003 Stock Option Plan imposes a three-year holding period on option shares unless shares of
Company stock are used in payment of the option exercise price.

Retirement Programs
The Company believes that a retirement plan is a key element in attracting and retaining employees at all levels of the
organization. The Company has provided a defined benefit retirement plan in the past, but U.S. employees hired after January 1, 2008 are now covered under a defined contribution plan. The Company maintains benefits to
22

D

AND
A
NALYSIS
(continued)
participants under both the defined benefit plan and defined contribution plan. A new supplemental plan was introduced in the last year, replacing the previous plan for new officer appointments.
Each NEO participates in the U.S. defined benefit retirement plan and all participate in either a defined benefit or defined contribution supplemental plan. The defined benefit retirement plan and the supplemental plans are described in more detail
along with officers other pension benefits on pages 36 to 37. The value of pension benefits for each NEO can be found in the table on page 38.
Medical
Coverage
The NEOs participate in the same health insurance programs available to all employees. In addition, our executive
officers have coverage under an enhanced medical insurance policy that generally covers all unpaid healthcare expenses deductible under IRS guidelines. This supplemental coverage plan was established in accordance with industry practice for senior
executives. We believe that conforming in this way to industry standards aids in executive retention.
Vacation, Disability and Group Life Insurance
NEOs participate in the same vacation, disability and life insurance programs as all other Moog employees. Life insurance coverage for
employees is based upon a multiple of salary, with the multiple for the NEOs generally being two times annual salary.
Termination Benefits
NEOs and other members of executive management are provided termination benefit agreements that are triggered under certain
circumstances, including upon a termination of employment in connection with a change in control. Under these agreements, executive officers receive salary continuance for up to three years based upon length of service; STI on a prorated basis in
the year of termination; and medical coverage, life and disability benefits and club dues for one year. These agreements are designed to retain executives and provide continuity of management in the event of a change in control. The Company believes
that these severance and change in control benefits are required to attract and retain executive talent in a marketplace where such benefits are commonly offered. Further information can be found under the heading Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control section on pages 39 to 42.
Other Benefits
The Company reimburses fees for membership in certain private clubs so that the Companys executives have these facilities available
for entertaining customers, conducting Company business and fulfilling community responsibilities.

Base Salary
The process for setting annual
base salaries is one wherein the CEO makes recommendations for merit-based salary increases and, occasionally, base salary adjustments needed to position an executive officer appropriately against market benchmarks. The Executive Compensation
Committee approves or adjusts those recommendations for a final determination. As part of this process, the CEO prepares a performance appraisal for each executive officer, including himself, which is reviewed in detail by the Executive Compensation
Committee. These performance appraisals take into consideration:
|
|
|
the outcomes achieved by the business unit or functional area for which the officer is responsible;
|
|
|
|
the conduct and contribution of the officer and the organization he manages in achieving overall Company results; and
|
|
|
|
the officers achievements in developing organizational strength for the future.
|
In developing his recommendations for base salary increases and adjustments for the calendar year for the NEOs in 2016, the CEO was
guided by the pay freeze that was applied across the majority of Moog sites worldwide. Accordingly no pay increases were awarded to Officers.
The Executive Compensation Committee is mindful of the IRS limitation on deductibility of compensation over $1 million. No executive
officers compensation for fiscal 2016 exceeded the IRS limitation.
Short Term Incentive (STI)
Annual cash bonuses paid to senior executives are developed in accordance with a STI plan introduced in fiscal 2016 in which there are
approximately 385 participants. For this group, cash bonuses are paid based on growth in EPS and FCF. The bonus amount payable to each participant is determined by multiplying the participants base salary by the sum of the following:
(i) the product of the percentage growth in EPS for the fiscal year and a multiplier based on the participants position; plus (ii) the product of actual FCF performance for the fiscal year and a multiplier based on the
participants position, as expressed in the following formula:
Base Salary x [(% Increase in EPS x EPS Growth Multiplier) +
(Actual % FCF performance x FCF Multiplier)] = Bonus
There are four levels used within the plan for each performance multiplier
which vary based on a participants responsibilities.
During fiscal 2016, there were 13 executive officers, including the NEOs,
who were responsible for the overall management and success of the Company and were eligible to receive a cash bonus that is equal to the participants base salary at year end multiplied by the sum of (i) the percentage improvement in EPS
times a factor of 2.25, and (ii) the FCF performance achieved multiplied by 0.075. Payments are subject to an overall cap of 60% of base salary.
The multipliers are used to achieve bonus payments which, in years of strong earnings growth, are somewhat comparable to the bonus plans
for executives in other companies in the peer group identified by KFHG. The Companys EPS increase, FCF performance and NEO bonus history over the last three years is as follows:

Long Term Incentive (LTI)
The Company believes that stock ownership on the part of executive officers serves to align the leadership of the Company with the
interest of shareholders. The Board of Directors appointed the Executive Compensation Committee to

administer all components of executive compensation, including equity-based compensation plans. These responsibilities include the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the plans and
awards granted under them, to determine the persons eligible to receive awards, when each award will be granted and the terms of each award, including the award amounts granted. No awards may be
re-priced
in
accordance with the terms of the Companys outstanding plans.
During fiscal 2016, the CEO was awarded 15,000 SARs and 3,750
PSUs. All other Officers were awarded 10,000 SARs and 2,500 PSUs. These awards were granted under the new 2014 LTI Plan and both SARs and PSUs were awarded using a mix of Class A and Class B stock. The 2014 LTI plan introduced PSUs to
increase the alignment of Moogs equity awards to company performance. The PSUs will vest at the end of a three-year performance period and the number of PSUs earned will be determined by the level of performance achieved against two
performance criteria. PSUs have the potential to be earned between zero and two times the number of target units awarded.
The
Executive Compensation Committee has not used a formulaic approach, but in years when performance is considered adequate, the Executive Compensation Committee has invited the CEO to make recommendations for SAR and PSU awards for all executive
officers other than himself. These recommendations were either approved or adjusted by the Executive Compensation Committee. With regard to the CEO, SAR and PSU awards were determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. A total of 194,000 SARs
and 41,550 PSUs were awarded in fiscal 2016, resulting in a burn rate of less than 1% based on the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
A SAR award contains such terms and conditions as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of the 2014
LTI Plan, including the date on which the SARs become exercisable and the expiration date of the SARs. The exercise price of a SAR on Class A shares will be equal to the fair market value of one Class A share as defined in the 2014 LTI
Plan. The exercise price of a SAR on Class B shares will be equal to the fair market value of one Class B stock share as defined in the 2014 LTI Plan.
SARs vest and become exercisable pursuant to the terms and conditions outlined in each participants award agreement, as determined
by the Executive Compensation Committee. SARs do not become exercisable earlier than the first anniversary of the date of grant, and vested SAR awards will be exercisable by participants only until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The
total number of shares of Moog stock subject to Options and SARs that may be awarded to any one employee during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed 100,000 shares.
A PSU award also contains such terms and conditions as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of the
2014 LTI Plan, including the date on which the PSUs become exercisable, the performance criteria which the awards are based on, and the way in which awards will be linked to performance targets. The fair market value realized upon settlement of
earned PSUs is defined in the same manner as described above for SARs.
PSUs vest and become exercisable pursuant to the terms and
conditions outlined in each participants award agreement, as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. PSUs do not vest earlier than the end of the three year performance period, at which time they vest immediately in accordance with
the level of performance attained. For the fiscal 2016 grant, the performance measures used for PSUs were sales growth and margin. The total number of shares of Moog stock subject to PSUs that may be awarded to any one employee during any fiscal
year of the Company may not exceed 100,000 shares.
The Executive Compensation Committee, in collaboration with the CEO, selected a
pattern of award distributions where all officers except the CEO were awarded the same number of SARs and PSUs. KFHG analysis indicates that the value of the Companys awards in SARs and PSUs is below the median of peer companies.
The Executive Compensation Committee remains mindful of the relationship between the number of stock-based compensation awards granted
and the shares outstanding. As of the fiscal 2016
year-end,
the shares related to the Companys outstanding unexercised option and SAR awards were approximately 1.0% of the total outstanding shares and
those related to the Companys outstanding unvested PSU awards were approximately 0.1% of the total outstanding shares. It is important to note that while option grants are equivalent to resulting Company shares, the same is not true for SARs.
The shares related to outstanding SAR awards are based upon the market price on September 30, 2016 and, where applicable, mandatory federal and state tax withholdings for employees at an assumed rate of 35%.

RISK REVIEW
In formulating and evaluating
the Companys executive compensation program, the Executive Compensation Committee considers whether the program promotes excessive risk-taking. The Executive Compensation Committee believes the components of the Companys executive
compensation program:
|
|
|
Provide an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay;
|
|
|
|
Balance short-term operational performance with long-term increases in shareholder value;
|
|
|
|
Reinforce a performance-oriented environment; and
|
|
|
|
Encourage recruitment and retention of key executives.
|
The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has followed consistent practices over the years and the members of the
Executive Compensation Committee have not seen any evidence that our compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. The Executive Compensation Committee believes the leadership of the
Company is not provided with incentives which would result in leadership taking unreasonable risks in order to achieve short term results at the expense of the long-term health and welfare of the shareholders investment. Additional policies
are in place to further reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking, such as the insider trading policy, which prohibits key insiders, including officers, from engaging in short sales or hedging transactions involving the Companys
securities.
THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Executive Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed this CD&A with the Companys management. Based on this review and these discussions with management, the Executive Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors
that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement.

In reviewing our executive compensation, it is important to distinguish the reported compensation provided to our named executives in
fiscal 2016 from the compensation that was actually awarded to our NEOs in fiscal 2016. We have provided the following additional compensation table in order to remove the volatility related to the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions on the
value of the NEOs pension benefits as required to be disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. This table is not a substitute for the 2016 Summary Compensation Table, which appears on page 29.
The table below shows the compensation awarded to each of our NEOs for fiscal 2016. This table includes:

2016 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
The table below presents dollar amounts computed as required under SEC rules.
The amounts shown for equity-based awards reflect the aggregate grant date fair value. These amounts do not reflect the current or
prospective value of these awards to the executive.
The amounts shown under the column Change in Pension Value and
Non-Qualified
Deferred Compensation Earnings reflect the change in the actuarial present value of each NEOs retirement benefits. For fiscal 2016, certain employees participating in our defined benefit
retirement plans, including the NEOs, have an increase in the actuarial value of their pension benefit. The values for fiscal 2016 reflect a change in mortality assumptions, the STI plan described on page 21, the impact of changes in interest rates
on actuarial present value calculations, years of credited service and changes in compensation levels.

The grant date is the date the Board of Directors ratifies the Executive Compensation Committees approval of the
awards.
|
|
(2)
|
The NEOs were granted PSUs in fiscal 2016 that could convert into Class A and Class B shares of Company stock
at the end of the three-year performance period based on two equally-weighted performance criteria. Each criteria has specified threshold, target and maximum performance payout levels such that performance below threshold results in no PSUs being
earned, performance at target results in 50% of the PSUs being earned and performance at maximum results in 100% of the PSUs being earned. Proportional adjustment(s) will be applied for performance falling between threshold and target or target and
maximum payout. Accordingly, the NEOs may receive between 0% and 200% of the target number of PSUs granted at the end of the performance period.
|
|
(3)
|
The amounts shown for SAR awards represent the number of SARs granted to each officer during fiscal 2016. SARs were
granted for Class A shares and Class B shares and vest in equal increments over three years.
|
|
(4)
|
The exercise price of a SAR on Class A shares will be equal to the fair market value of one Class A share as
defined in the 2014 LTI Plan. The exercise price of a SAR on Class B shares will be equal to the fair market value of one Class B stock share as defined in the 2014 LTI Plan.
|
|
(5)
|
This column shows the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718. For SAR awards, the amount is
based on the fair value of the equity-based award as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model multiplied by the number of securities underlying the SAR awards. For PSUs, the actual value of units received will depend on the
Companys performance and market value of common stock at the time of settlement. The grant date fair value is based on the fair value of the equity-based award multiplied by the
|
31
|
number of securities underlying the target PSUs. This represents the amount that the Company expects to expense for accounting purposes over the awards vesting schedule. The amounts do not
reflect the actual amounts that may be realized by the executive officers. Assumptions made in the calculations of these amounts may be found in Note 14 to the audited financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016.

The Internal Revenue Code limits the benefits that may be paid from
the ERP. The Company maintains two supplemental retirement plans, the Moog Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (DB SERP) and the Moog Inc. Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (DC SERP) for
certain executive officers, including the NEOs, to bridge the gap between legally mandated limits on qualified pension plan benefits and the retirement benefits offered at comparable public companies, and to provide participants with supplemental
benefits. Messrs. Scannell and Fishback participate in the DB SERP, while Messrs. Burghardt and Trabert and Ms. Athoe participate in the DC SERP.
While the Company formally funds the qualified defined benefit plan, the DB SERP and the DC SERP are not formally funded. Rabbi Trusts,
however, were established under which certain funds have been set aside to satisfy some of the obligations under the DB SERP and DC SERP. If the funds in the Rabbi Trusts are insufficient to pay amounts payable under the DB SERP and DC SERP, the
Company will pay the difference.

Under the ERP, benefits are generally payable monthly upon retirement to participating employees of the Company. These benefits are based
upon compensation and years of service and subject to limitations imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code. The ERP is administered by a Retirement Plan Committee and covers all
eligible employees with one year of service and a minimum of 1,000 hours of employment. New U.S. based employees hired on or after January 1, 2008 are not eligible to participate in the ERP. New U.S. based employees hired after that date are
covered under a defined contribution plan.
Benefits payable under the ERP are determined on the basis of compensation and credited
years of service. A participants accrued benefit is equal to the sum of the participants prior service benefit, if any, and the participants future service benefit.
A participant is entitled to a prior service benefit if the participant was actively employed on or after January 1, 1998 (or
retired as of January 1, 1998) and was employed by the Company before October 1, 1990. The prior service benefit is 1.15% of the first $20,000 of prior service compensation, plus 1.75% of prior service compensation in excess of $20,000,
multiplied by the participants prior service. Prior service compensation is the greater of (i) the participants basic annual rate of pay on January 1, 1988, and (ii) the amount of the participants annual
rate of pay plus overtime and shift differential received in the calendar year ending December 31, 1989, not to exceed $150,000. Prior service is the number of years and completed months of credited service with the Company through
October 1, 1990.
A participants future service benefit is computed separately for each year of credited service beginning
with October 1, 1990, or the participants date of hire, if later, and is equal to 1.15% of the participants future service compensation not in excess of $20,000, plus 1.75% of the participants future service compensation in
excess of $20,000. In any event, after a participant is credited with 35 years of combined prior service and future service, the participants benefit for each year of future service will be 1.75% of future service compensation. Future
service compensation with respect to a plan year is the amount of basic annual pay, plus any overtime or shift differential, a participant receives in the calendar year ending within that plan year. The maximum dollar amount of future service
compensation that may be used for Plan purposes is set by law and adjusted periodically. The maximum dollar amount is $265,000 for the Plan Year ending September 30, 2016.
Any participant who entered the ERP before the 2002 plan year and retires with five years or more of service will receive a minimum
pension benefit. If the participant joined the ERP before October 1, 2002 and retires at age 65 with
36
15 or more years of vesting service, the minimum pension benefit will be at least $2,400 per year. If the participant joined the Plan before October 1, 2002 and retires at age 65 with
between 5 and 15 years of service, the minimum pension benefit will be a prorated portion of the $2,400 per year minimum benefit.
A
participant generally may retire and begin receiving ERP benefits at normal retirement age (age 65). A participant also may retire and begin receiving plan benefits on the first day of any month coincident with or next following the
participants 55th birthday, but only if the participant has completed 15 years of vesting service. The amount of a participants monthly Plan benefit, however, will be discounted or reduced .5% for each month the early retirement benefit
commences before normal retirement age.

NCOME
The Moog Inc. Plan to Equalize Retirement Income (PERI) is
maintained for the purpose of providing additional benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Benefits under the PERI are intended to supplement benefits provided under the ERP by providing additional benefits that
would be payable under the ERP if not for the compensation limitations imposed by the IRS. Messrs. Burghardt and Trabert and Ms. Athoe have accrued benefits under the PERI.

The DB SERP provides for supplemental retirement benefits to eligible Company officers, including certain NEOs. Assuming a participant
qualifies for full benefits, the DB SERP payment upon retirement is equal to 65% of the officers compensation, less any benefits payable under the ERP, certain benefits payable under other Company-sponsored retirement programs, and reduced
further by
one-half
the primary Social Security benefit payable at age 65. All DB SERP benefits are assumed to be paid monthly in accordance with the plan document. DB SERP benefits payable to officers who
have service with overseas subsidiaries of the Company are adjusted to account for benefits in subsidiary and national pension and social security plans. For the purposes of the DB SERP, an eligible officers compensation generally is the sum
of (i) the average of the officers highest consecutive three-year base salary prior to retirement plus (ii) the officers highest annual profit share/bonus within the ten fiscal years prior to retirement.
To vest in benefits under the DB SERP, officers must generally have (i) at least 10 years of service with the Company and
(ii) attained (a) age 65 or (b) age 60 with a total combined age and years of service equal to at least 90. Full benefits are payable when the participant reaches age 65 with at least 25 years of service. Officers who became participants
in the DB SERP on or before November 30, 2011 generally vest in benefits under the DB SERP if the officer has (i) at least ten years of service and (ii) attained (a) age 65 or (b) age 57 with total combined age and years of
service equal to at least 90. Officers who became participants in the DB SERP on or before November 30, 2011 are eligible for unreduced benefits upon reaching age 57 with at least 25 years of service.
In the event of disability, or an involuntary termination or change in control after a participant has at least ten years of service with
the Company, participants also become vested in benefits under the DB SERP. A termination where there has been an adverse change in duties, responsibilities, status, pay or perquisites without participant consent within two years of a change in
control of the Company, as defined by the DB SERP, is deemed an involuntary termination, as is a termination where the participants pay has been reduced to a greater extent than the other executives of the Company.
The DC SERP provides supplemental retirement benefits to a select group of officers who are not participants in the DB SERP. The
eligible officer receives a
per-pay-period
contribution of a specified percentage of eligible compensation. The Company may also make a discretionary contribution
on behalf of one or more eligible officers. A participant in the DC SERP becomes vested after 3 years of service or in the event of death, change in control or disability. The benefit is paid in either a lump sum or annual installments.

The Company has entered into Employment
Termination Benefits Agreements (Termination Agreements) with its executive officers. These Termination Agreements cover termination as a result of death, disability, retirement, termination for cause, voluntary and involuntary
termination of employment, as well as involuntary termination after a change in control. The following is a summary of the termination benefits provided under various circumstances.

In the event of the death of an officer, the estate or surviving spouse will receive a payment of six months salary, a STI payment
pro-rated
to the last day of the month in which the officers death occurs, and any unused vested vacation. A payment of approximately two times annual salary will be paid under the Companys Group Life
Insurance plan, subject to a cap of $4,000,000. The estate or surviving spouse will receive payments under the Companys pension and 401(k) plans, and all unexpired stock options and SARs will fully vest, and the estate or surviving spouse will
have one year to exercise unexpired ISOs and two years to exercise unexpired NQSOs and SARs. Unvested PSUs will be paid out at target,
pro-rated
for the number of full quarters completed prior to death within
the performance period.
In the event an officer becomes disabled or retires, the officer is entitled to the same benefits, as
described above, with the exception of life insurance, salary continuation, STI payment and PSU settlement. If the officer becomes disabled, the officer also will receive payments under the Companys disability plan. STI will be paid on a
pro-rated
basis for full months of service prior to the date of disability. Unvested PSUs will be forfeited.
If the officer retires, the officer will receive all benefits provided generally by the Company to its executives upon retirement,
including benefits under any retirement or supplemental retirement plans and insurance benefits provided upon retirement. STI will be paid on a
pro-rated
basis for full months of service prior to the date of
retirement. Unvested PSUs will remain available to be earned at the end of the performance period, subject to the performance criteria and
pro-rated
for the number of full years completed prior to retirement
within the performance period.

The termination benefits provided to an officer under the Termination Agreements in the case of involuntary termination without cause and
in the event of involuntary termination after a change in control are the same, except each event references a different credited years of service table to determine salary continuance. The officer will receive salary continuance for no less than 12
months and no more than 36 months, depending on length of service. STI will be paid on a
pro-rated
basis for service up to the date of termination, and any unused vested vacation will be paid. The
39
Company will pay, for one year after involuntary termination or involuntary termination after a change in control, medical, life and disability premiums on behalf of the officer, one year of auto
related expenses, as well as one year of club membership dues for which reimbursement was provided by the Company. The officer is entitled to all vested benefits under any retirement or supplemental retirement plans. Upon involuntary termination
without cause, the officer is entitled to exercise all ISOs within one year of termination and all NQSOs within two years of termination. All unexpired vested SARs are exercisable within ninety days of termination and all unvested SARs and PSUs will
expire at the close of business on the date of termination. Upon involuntary termination after a change in control, all unexpired stock options and SARs will fully vest and the officer is entitled to exercise all ISOs within one year of termination
and all NQSOs and SARs within two years of termination. All unvested PSUs will fully vest and will be paid out at the maximum level of performance.
The Termination Agreements provide that an officer cannot compete with the Company during the term of the Termination Agreement, and in
the event of an involuntary termination after a change in control, until the last payment of any benefits to the officer under the Termination Agreement. Each Termination Agreement also requires each officer not to disclose confidential information
of the Company during the term of the Termination Agreement or thereafter.
The following table shows potential payments to the NEOs
upon disability and death, voluntary termination, involuntary termination without cause or involuntary termination following a change in control. The amounts shown assume that the termination was effective October 1, 2016, the last business day
of the Companys most recent fiscal year end. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the actual time of an officers termination.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INDEMNIFICATION INSURANCE
On November 30, 2004,
the Board of Directors approved indemnification agreements for officers, directors and key employees. The indemnification agreement provides that officers, directors and key employees will be indemnified for expenses, investigative costs and
judgments arising from threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings. The form of the indemnification agreement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Companys Current Report on Form
8-K
filed on December 1, 2004.
On November 1, 2016 the Company renewed an officers and
directors indemnification insurance coverage through policies written by the Chubb Group, Travelers, AIG, Allied World, and Nationwide. The renewal was for a
one-year
period at an annual premium of $578,290.
The policy provides indemnification benefits and the payment of expenses in actions instituted against any director or officer of the Company for claimed liability arising out of their conduct in such capacities. No payments or claims of
indemnification or expenses have been made under any such insurance policies purchased by the Company at any time.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee is
composed solely of independent directors, as determined by the Board of Directors under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and the Companys standards for director independence.
The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is an audit committee financial expert, as defined under applicable federal law and regulations. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the
Audit Committee, which is available on the Companys website. The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, terminate or replace the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, which reports directly to the Audit
Committee.
The Audit Committee reviews the Companys financial statements and the Companys financial reporting process.
Management has the primary responsibility for the Companys financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures.
In this context, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP, the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm, the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting
firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301,
Communications with Audit Committees,
as amended or supplemented.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required
by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent public accounting firms communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent
registered public accounting firm that firms independence.
Based on the Audit Committees review and discussions referred
to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K,
for the fiscal year ended
October 1, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 2 APPROVAL OF THE MOOG INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
S
UMMARY
On November 15, 2016, our Board of Directors (the Board) approved the terms of the Moog Inc. Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the ESPP), subject to shareholder approval. There are 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP.
The ESPP provides a means for our employees to purchase our common stock. Under the ESPP, employees may purchase up to $25,000 of our
common stock in any calendar year, determined at the fair market value. The ESPP is intended to meet the requirements of an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to its U.S. based employees.
The Board believes that the ESPP will encourage broader stock ownership by our employees and thereby provide an incentive for employees to contribute to the success of Moog. The Board intends for the ESPP to offer a convenient means for employees
who might not otherwise purchase and hold our common stock to do so and that the discounted purchase price feature of the ESPP provides a meaningful inducement to participate. The Board also believes that employees continuing economic
interest, as shareholders, in the performance and success of Moog will enhance our entrepreneurial spirit, which we believe will greatly contribute to our long-term success.
The material features of the ESPP are summarized below. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the ESPP.
The ESPP has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit A to this proxy statement and may be accessed from the SECs website at www.sec.gov. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP. The last
sales price of our Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 20, 2016 was $66.77 per share. The last sales price of our Class B Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 20, 2016 was $67.70 per
share.
P
URPOSE
As noted
above, the purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means by which employees of Moog and its participating subsidiaries may purchase shares of Moog common stock, to assist us in retaining the services of our employees, to secure and retain the services
of new employees, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of Moog.
A
DMINISTRATION
The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) administers the ESPP and has the power to
construe and interpret both the ESPP and the rights granted under it. The Committee has the power, subject to the provisions of the ESPP, to determine when and how rights to purchase common stock will be granted and the provisions of each offering
of such rights, which need not be identical. The Board may at any time (i) appoint a person or other committee to serve in such capacity, and (ii) act in lieu of the Committee on any matter authorized for administrative action under the
ESPP. The Board may revoke the authority of the Committee at any time. As used herein with respect to the ESPP proposal, references to the Board also includes any committee the Board appoints to administer the ESPP, as the context requires.
S
TOCK
S
UBJECT
TO
ESPP
We have initially reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. We may issue shares in the form of Class A
Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock issued by Moog under the ESPP may be from authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock or authorized and issued Class A Common Stock held in Moogs treasury or
acquired by Moog through repurchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from third parties, any affiliate of Moog, or any of Moogs affiliated benefit or welfare plans. The Class B Common Stock issued by Moog under
the ESPP may only be from shares of Class B Common Stock that are authorized and issued on the effective date of the ESPP and that are acquired by Moog through repurchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from third
parties, any affiliate of Moog or any of Moogs affiliated benefit or welfare plans. The number of shares available under the ESPP will be subject to adjustment as described below in the paragraph entitled Adjustment Provisions. If
rights granted under the ESPP expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without being exercised, the shares of common stock not purchased under such rights will again become available for issuance under the ESPP.
46
O
FFERINGS
The ESPP is implemented by offerings of rights to all eligible employees from time to time by the Committee. Offerings may, but need not,
be consecutive and the Committee in its discretion at any time may prospectively discontinue or suspend future offerings. The Committee designates the length and start date for an offering from time to time. Prior to the commencement of any
offering, the Committee may change any or all terms of such offering and subsequent offerings, including the length of the offering period (subject to a maximum offering period of two years from the offering commencement date). The provisions of
separate offerings need not be identical, but each offering will conform to the ESPP. The commencement date for the initial offering period has yet to be determined.
E
LIGIBILITY
Any person who is
customarily employed at least 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year, or any lesser number of hours per week and/or number of months in any calendar year established by the Committee (if required under applicable local law) by
a participating employer will be eligible to participate in the ESPP. Initially, it is anticipated that only Moog entities with employees providing services in the United States will be participating employers. The Committee is also authorized to
extend purchase rights to eligible employees employed by Moog subsidiaries located outside the United States under one or more separate offerings. The eligibility terms and conditions for offerings outside of the United States need not be the same
as offerings for U.S. based employees, and may be provided in a manner not intended to comply with Section 423 (a
Non-423
Component).
Officers of Moog or other participating employers may participate in offerings under the ESPP, provided, however, that the Committee may
provide in an offering that certain employees who are highly compensated as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), are not eligible to participate in the offerings. The Committee may determine
that service with a corporation acquired by Moog will constitute service with Moog for purposes of eligibility in the ESPP.
However,
no employee is eligible to participate in the ESPP if, immediately after the grant of purchase rights, the employee would own, directly or indirectly, stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our
stock or the stock of a related corporation, including any stock which such employee may purchase under all outstanding rights and options. As of the record date, there are approximately 10,860 individuals employed by Moog and its subsidiaries
worldwide, and approximately 5,500 of these employees are providing services in the United States.
P
ARTICIPATION
IN
THE
ESPP
An eligible employee becomes a participant in the ESPP by delivering to Moog a participation agreement
authorizing payroll deductions for the purchase period. For each offering thereafter, the employees payroll deductions shall automatically continue in effect as originally elected, unless otherwise modified or terminated.
P
URCHASE
P
RICE
The purchase price per share of common stock sold in an offering under the ESPP will be at a discount as established by the Committee.
The maximum permitted discounted purchase price is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the beginning and the end of the offering period. Under the ESPP, the fair market value of common stock on any relevant
date shall generally be the closing price per share on the last trading day immediately preceding that date, as officially quoted on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If there are no sales of stock on such day, then the closing selling
price for the stock on the next preceding day for which there does exist such quotation shall be determinative of fair market value.
P
AYMENT
OF
P
URCHASE
P
RICE
; P
AYROLL
D
EDUCTIONS
The purchase
price of the shares of common stock with respect to employees in our U.S. operations is accumulated by payroll deductions over the period of the offering. A participant may elect to contribute up to 15% of his or her eligible earnings, subject to a
cap of $25,000 per calendar year and any other limitation required by applicable law, to the
47
ESPP during each offering period. Eligible earnings means with respect to any offering period, the participants regular base wages, salary and overtime pay, determined without reduction for
contributions made under the ESPP or contributions to any Section 401(k) or cafeteria plan. The Committee in its discretion may establish on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis a different definition of compensation under each offering. At any
time during the offering, a participant may terminate his or her payroll deductions as the Committee provides in the offering. A participant may not otherwise adjust his or her participation percentage during any purchase period. The Committee may
at any time change the rules relating to the timing and frequency of withdrawals. All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under the ESPP and deposited with our general funds.
P
URCHASE
OF
C
OMMON
S
TOCK
By authorizing payroll deductions during the period, an employee is entitled to purchase shares of common stock under the ESPP. On the
applicable purchase date, a participants accumulated payroll deductions and other additional payments, if any, will be used to purchase shares of common stock at the purchase price for the offering, up to the maximum number of shares
permitted. No fractional shares will be issued and the amount, if any, remaining in a participants account after the purchase of shares on the purchase date (which is less than the amount required to purchase one share) will automatically be
refunded to the participant on the last business day of each purchase period.
In connection with offerings made under the ESPP, the
Committee may specify prior to the beginning of an offering period the maximum number of shares of common stock a participant may be granted the right to purchase. If the aggregate number of shares of common stock to be purchased upon exercise of
rights granted in the offering will exceed the maximum aggregate number of shares common stock available, the Committee will make a pro rata allocation of available shares of common stock in a uniform and equitable manner. However, no employee may
purchase more than $25,000 worth of such common stock, determined at the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time such rights are granted, under the ESPP in any calendar year.
W
ITHDRAWAL
A
participants withdrawal from the ESPP shall be governed by the rules and procedures established by the Committee from time to time in connection with each offering.
T
ERMINATION
OF
E
MPLOYMENT
Rights granted pursuant to any offering under the ESPP terminate immediately upon cessation of an employees employment with Moog
for any reason, and we will distribute to such employee all of his or her accumulated payroll deductions, without interest.
R
ESTRICTIONS
ON
T
RANSFER
Rights granted under the ESPP are generally not transferable and may be exercised only
by the person to whom such rights are granted. In addition, we anticipate imposing a transfer restriction such that common stock purchased under the ESPP may not be sold or otherwise transferred within one year after the purchase date. It is also
anticipated that purchased shares will be held in a brokerage account until expiration of the holding period. The Committee may establish additional transfer restrictions in connection with an offering, including a right of first refusal.

If any change is made in the shares of our common stock subject to the ESPP, or subject to any rights granted under the ESPP, without
receipt of consideration by Moog, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, combination of shares or other change affecting the outstanding stock, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by Moog, the ESPP and outstanding rights will be appropriately and proportionately adjusted in the

In the event of Change in Control, the acquiring corporation may elect to assume or continue Moogs
rights and obligations under the ESPP. If the acquiring corporation does not elect to assume Moogs rights and obligations, then all outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP will automatically be exercised immediately prior to the Change in
Control by applying all sums previously collected from participants during the purchase period of such transaction to the purchase of shares. Any shares acquired as a result of an automatic exercise immediately prior to a Change of Control shall not
be subject to a holding period or any transfer restriction previously established by the Committee. All purchase rights that are neither assumed, continued nor substituted by the acquiring corporation, nor exercised as of the date of the Change in
Control, will terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control.
A Change in Control means:
(i) Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a Person),
becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of either (1) the then-outstanding shares of Moog Stock (the
Outstanding Moog Common Stock) or (2) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of Moog entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the Outstanding Moog Voting Securities);
provided, however, that, for purposes of this definition, the following acquisitions will not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition directly from Moog, (B) any acquisition by Moog, (C) any acquisition by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Moog or any affiliated company, or (D) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction described in subsections (iii)(1), (iii)(2) and (iii)(3) below;
(ii) Any time at which individuals who, as of the effective date of the ESPP, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the effective date whose election, or nomination for election by Moogs shareholders, was approved by
a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of
Directors; or
(iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction
involving Moog or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Moogs assets, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by Moog or any of its subsidiaries (each, a Business
Combination), in each case unless, following such Business Combination:
(1) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Moog Common Stock and the Outstanding Moog Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 75% of the then-outstanding
shares of common stock (or, for a
non-corporate
entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
(or, for a
non-corporate
entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such
transaction, owns Moog or all or substantially all of Moogs assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding
Moog Common Stock and the Outstanding Moog Voting Securities, as the case may be,
(2) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting
from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of Moog or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares
of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business
Combination, and
(3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a
non-corporate

The following discussion is a brief summary of certain
United States federal income tax consequences under current federal income tax laws relating to awards under the new plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income and
other tax consequences, or the tax treatment of any purchases under the
Non-423
Component of the new plan.
As noted above, the new plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423
of the Code for Moog employees providing services in the U.S. Under a plan which so qualifies, an eligible employee recognizes no taxable income upon either the grant or the exercise of the option. The employee does not recognize taxable income
until there is a sale or other disposition of the shares acquired under the new plan or in the event the participant should die while still owning the purchased shares.
If a participant sells or otherwise disposes of the purchased shares within two (2) years after his or her entry date into the
offering period in which such shares were acquired or within one (1) year after the actual purchase date of those shares, then the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year of sale or disposition equal to the amount by which the
closing selling price of the shares on the purchase date exceeded the purchase price paid for those shares, and we will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal in amount to such excess.
The participant also will recognize a capital gain to the extent the amount realized upon the sale of the shares exceeds the sum of the aggregate purchase price for those shares and the ordinary income recognized in connection with their
acquisition.
If a participant sells or disposes of the purchased shares more than two (2) years after his or her entry date
into the offering period in which the shares were acquired and more than one (1) year after the actual purchase date of those shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year of sale or disposition equal to the lower of
(i) the amount by which the closing selling price of the shares on the sale or disposition date exceeded the purchase price paid for those shares or (ii) 15% of the closing selling price of the shares on the participants entry date into
that offering period. Any additional gain upon the disposition will be taxed as a long-term capital gain. We will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to such disposition.

The benefits to be received by our executive officers and employees as a result of the proposed approval of the ESPP are not

PROPOSAL 3 RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of
Directors, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has selected Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to continue as independent auditors of the Company for the 2017 fiscal year. Representatives of
Ernst & Young LLP, who will be available at the shareholders meeting, will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors for fiscal year 2017.
PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR 2018 ANNUAL MEETING
To be considered for
inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholder proposals must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than August 15, 2017. Under the Companys
by-laws,
if a shareholder wishes to nominate a director or bring other business before the shareholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting without having a proposal included in the Proxy Statement for that meeting,
the shareholder must notify the Secretary of the Company in writing between September 15, 2017 and October 15, 2017, and the notice must contain the specific information required by the Companys
by-laws.
A copy of the Companys
by-laws
can be obtained without charge from the Treasurer of the Company, East Aurora, New York, 14052.
Section 1.06 of the Companys
by-laws
provides that proposals may be properly brought
before an annual meeting by a shareholder of record (both at the time notice of the proposal is given by the shareholder and as of the record date of the annual meeting in question) of any shares of the Company entitled to vote at the annual meeting
if the shareholder provides timely notice of the proposal to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the
by-laws.
A shareholder making a proposal at an annual meeting must be
present at such meeting in person, and the business brought before an annual meeting must also be a proper matter for shareholder action under the New York Business Corporation Law.
A shareholders notice to the Secretary of the Company must set forth certain information regarding the shareholder and the
proposal, including the name and address of the shareholder, a brief description of the business the shareholder desires to bring before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such annual meeting, the class or series and
number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder, the names and addresses of other shareholders known to support such proposal and any material interest of the shareholder in such proposal.
Section 1.06 further provides that nominations of candidates for election as directors of the Company at any annual meeting of
shareholders may be made by a shareholder of record (both at the time notice of such nomination is given by the shareholder and as of the record date of the annual meeting in question) of any shares of the Company entitled to vote at the annual
meeting for the election of directors if the shareholder provides timely notice to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the
by-laws.
A shareholder may nominate a candidate for
election as a director only as to such class of director whose election the shareholder would be entitled to vote thereon at an annual meeting of shareholders. Any shareholder who desires to make a nomination must be present in person at the annual
meeting.
In addition to the information required in a notice of a proposal, a notice to the Secretary with respect to nominations
must contain certain information regarding each proposed nominee for director, including, the nominees name, age, business and residence address, principal occupation, the class or series and number of shares of the Company beneficially owned
by the nominee and a consent of the nominee to serve as a director, if elected. The notice must also provide a description of any arrangements or understandings between the nominating shareholder and each nominee and such other information
concerning the nominee as required pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Further information regarding proposals or nominations by shareholders can be found in Section 1.06 of the Companys
by-laws.
If the Board of Directors or a designated committee determines that any proposal or nomination was not made in a timely fashion or fails to meet the information requirements of Section 1.06 in any
material respect, such proposal or nomination will not be considered.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors
does not intend to present, and has not been informed that any other person intends to present, any matter for action at this meeting other than those specifically referred to
51
in this Proxy Statement. If other matters properly come before the meeting, it is intended that the holders of the proxies will act with respect thereto in accordance with their best judgment.
The cost of this solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company may request brokerage houses, nominees,
custodians and fiduciaries to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record, and will reimburse such persons for any reasonable expense in forwarding the material. The Company anticipates hiring Alliance Advisors LLC
to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee anticipated to be $6,500, plus disbursements. In addition, officers, directors and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone and will not receive any additional
compensation.
Copies of the 2016 Annual Report of the Company, which includes the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016, are being mailed to shareholders, as are this Proxy Statement, proxy card and Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Additional copies may be obtained, without
charge, from the Treasurer of the Company, East Aurora, New York 14052.

components: a component intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code (the 423 Component) and a component that is not intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan
under Section 423 of the Code (the
Non-423
Component). The provisions of the 423 Component will be interpreted so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the
Non-423
Component shall be subject to rules, procedures, or
sub-plans
adopted by the Committee from time to time for compliance with local tax, securities, exchange control, privacy and other laws that apply to Offerings under the Plan by Participating Employers domiciled outside of the United States. Except as
specifically set forth in the Plan or provided by Committee action, the
Non-423
Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. Capitalized terms shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 16 of the Plan.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be treated as an Eligible Employee and granted a Purchase Right under the Plan if, immediately after such grant, the
Employee would own or hold options to purchase stock of the Company or of any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of such corporation
or a related corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of such Employee.
The Plan shall be implemented through a series of Offerings. The Committee shall designate whether a Purchase Right allows a Participant
to purchase either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock prior to the beginning of an Offering Period. Offerings may, but need not, be consecutive, and the Committee in its discretion at any time may elect to prospectively
discontinue or suspend future Offerings. The Committee in its sole discretion shall determine the terms and conditions of any Offerings as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that each Offering shall comply with the provisions of the Plan and
no Offering Period shall be longer than two years. The terms of separate Offerings need not be identical. The Committee shall have the authority to prospectively change the duration, frequency, commencement and ending dates of future Offering

Participant of at least six (6) months. The Company may require the Participant to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of a Purchase Right. The Company may require that until such
time as a Participant disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of a Purchase Right, the Participant shall hold all such shares in the Participants name (or, if elected by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse
but not in the name of any nominee) until the later of two years after the date of grant of such Purchase Right or one year after the date of exercise of such Purchase Right. The Company may direct that the certificates evidencing shares acquired by
