PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Wednesday, May 11, 2022

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is being provided to solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Under Armour, Inc. for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting is to be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UAA2022. We expect to first send or give stockholders this Proxy Statement, together with our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, on March 31, 2022.

Our principal offices are located at 1020 Hull Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21230. In this Proxy Statement, we refer to Under Armour, Inc. as “Under Armour,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “company.”

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

Pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are making our proxy materials available to our stockholders electronically over the Internet rather than mailing the proxy materials. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, on the website referred to in the notice or to request a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found on the notice. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

The SEC rules require us to notify all stockholders, including those stockholders to whom we have mailed proxy materials, of the availability of our proxy materials over the Internet.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

for the Stockholder Meeting to be held on May 11, 2022

Our Proxy Statement and 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at

https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/news-events-presentations/#module-6

Who May Vote

Only holders of record of our Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Class A Stock, and holders of record of our Class B Convertible Common Stock, which we refer to as Class B Stock, at the close of business on February 25, 2022, or the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 188,668,560 shares of Class A Stock and 34,450,000 shares of Class B Stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of Class A Stock entitles the holder to cast one vote on each matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting and each share of Class B Stock entitles the holder to cast ten votes on each matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Holders of Class A Stock and holders of Class B Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters.

Stockholders are not allowed to cumulate their votes in the election of the directors. Holders of our Class C Common Stock, which we refer to as Class C Stock, have no voting power as to any items of business that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

LOGO

What Constitutes a Quorum

Stockholders may not take action at a meeting unless there is a quorum present at the meeting. Holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting, represented in person (virtually) or by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required

The election of each director requires a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. The approval of our executive compensation and the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Voting Process

Shares for which proxies are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted “FOR” the election of the ten nominees to the Board of Directors named in this Proxy Statement, “FOR” the advisory approval of our executive compensation and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. It is not expected that any other matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you are the record holder of your shares, meaning you appear as the stockholder of your shares on the records of our stock transfer agent, you vote your shares directly through one of the methods described below. If you own shares in street name, meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank or brokerage firm, you instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares through the methods described on the voting instruction form provided by your bank or brokerage firm.

How to Vote

Holders of our Class A Stock and Class B Stock as of the Record Date may vote their shares by one of the following methods.

Internet

To vote your shares by Internet, please visit the website listed on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, and follow the on-screen instructions. You will need the control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy card or voting instruction form. If you vote by Internet, you do not need to mail your proxy card or voting instruction form.

Telephone

If you received a paper proxy card or voting instruction form and would like to vote your shares by telephone, please follow the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to mail your proxy card or voting instruction form.

Mail

If you received a paper proxy card or voting instruction form and would like to vote your shares by mail, please follow the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form. Please be sure to sign and date your proxy card. If you do not sign your proxy card, your votes cannot be counted. Mail your proxy card or voting instruction form in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope.

LOGO

In Person (Virtually)

You may also attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, electronically. If you own your stock in street name and wish to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank or brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your bank or brokerage account representative to obtain a legal proxy. However, to ensure your shares are represented, we ask that you vote your shares by Internet, telephone or mail, even if you plan to attend the meeting.

Participation in the Annual Meeting

Due to continuing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and to assist in protecting the health and well-being of our stockholders, directors and employees, this year’s Annual Meeting will be in an online format. You can access the virtual annual meeting at the meeting time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UAA2022. The virtual meeting has been designed to provide the same rights to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting.

Holders of our Class A Stock, Class B Stock and Class C Stock may attend the virtual Annual Meeting. During the virtual meeting, holders of our Class A Stock and Class B Stock may ask questions and will have the opportunity to vote to the same extent as they would at an in-person meeting of stockholders. However, holders of our Class C Stock may participate in the virtual Annual Meeting in a view-only format and will not be able to submit questions during the meeting or vote on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. However, in advance of the meeting, holders of our Class C Stock may submit questions by contacting Investor Relations through the Under Armour website. We will respond to as many inquiries at the Annual Meeting as time allows.

The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Online check-in will begin at 9:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the online check-in procedures. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompany your proxy materials. If you are a holder of Class C Stock, you may attend the Annual Meeting without a 16-digit control number by following the instructions in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompany your proxy materials. If any difficulties are encountered while accessing the virtual meeting, contact the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log-in page. Technical support will be available beginning at the check-in time and will remain available until the meeting has ended.

Revocation

If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke or cancel a previously granted proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by delivering to the Secretary of Under Armour at 1020 Hull Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21230, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person electronically. Any stockholder owning shares in street name may change or revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from the bank or brokerage firm and voting in person electronically at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the meeting does not revoke your proxy. Your last vote, prior to or at the Annual Meeting, is the vote that will be counted.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Shares held by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting in person (virtually) or by proxy who do not vote on a matter and ballots or proxies marked “abstain” or “withheld” on a matter will be counted as present at the meeting for quorum purposes, but will not be considered votes cast on the matter.

LOGO

If your shares are held in street name through a bank or broker and you do not provide voting instructions before the Annual Meeting, your bank or broker may vote your shares under certain circumstances in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange rules governing banks and brokers. These circumstances include “routine matters,” such as the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm described in this Proxy Statement. Thus, if you do not vote your shares with respect to these matters, your bank or broker may vote your shares on your behalf or leave your shares unvoted.

The election of directors and the advisory approval of our executive compensation are not considered “routine matters.” Thus, if you do not vote your shares with respect to any of these matters, your bank or broker may not vote the shares, and your shares will be left unvoted on the matter.

“Broker non-votes” (which are shares represented by proxies, received from a bank or broker, that are not voted on a matter because the bank or broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner) will be treated the same as abstentions, which means they will be present at the Annual Meeting and counted toward the quorum, but they will not be counted as votes cast on the matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on any of the proposals at this meeting because they will not be counted as votes cast.

Householding

The SEC permits us to send a single set of proxy materials to any household at which two or more stockholders reside, unless contrary instructions have been received, but only if we provide advance notice and follow certain procedures. This process, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information and reduces printing and mailing expenses. We have not instituted householding for stockholders of record. Certain brokerage firms may have instituted householding for beneficial owners of our common stock held through brokerage firms. If your family has multiple accounts holding our shares, you may have already received a householding notice from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have any questions or require additional copies of the proxy materials. The broker will arrange for delivery of a separate copy of this Proxy Statement or our Annual Report promptly upon your written or oral request. You may decide at any time to revoke your decision to household and begin receiving multiple copies.

Solicitation of Proxies

We pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. We solicit by mail and arrangements are made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy materials to beneficial owners. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies, either personally or by telephone, facsimile or written or electronic mail. Stockholders are requested to return their proxies without delay.

converted under certain circumstances, including at the option of Mr. Plank, into shares of Class A Stock.

(3)	Each share of Class A Stock has one vote, and each share of Class B Stock has ten votes. The percentage of voting power reflects the combined effects of both Class A Stock and Class B Stock. Our Class C Stock is non-voting.

(4)

Includes 181,608 shares of Class A Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Plank, and 110,621 stock options for Class A Stock that are currently exercisable. Mr. Plank’s shares of Class A Stock are held by a limited liability company controlled by Mr. Plank and he holds sole voting and investment power over these shares. In addition, Mr. Plank beneficially owns 34,450,000 shares of Class B Stock indirectly, of which 29,510,624 shares of Class B Stock are held by two limited liability companies controlled by Mr. Plank and he has sole voting and investment power over these shares.

Sippel, a former director of the company, has been appointed trustee of the trust and has voting control over the shares held by the trust and shares investment power with Mr. Plank. Because the 34,450,000 shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Plank, which are all the shares of Class B Stock outstanding, are convertible into shares of Class A Stock on a one-for-one basis under certain circumstances, including at the option of Mr. Plank, he is also deemed to be the beneficial owner of 34,450,000 shares of Class A Stock into which the Class B Stock may be converted.

(5)

Includes 1,258,775 stock options for Class C Stock that are currently exercisable.

(6)	Includes 14,000 shares of Class A Stock and 14,000 shares of Class C Stock held in trust by Mr. Frisk. Does not include RSUs for 981,292 shares of Class C Stock.

The DSUs will be settled in shares of our Class A Stock or Class C Stock, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis six months after the director leaves the Board, or sooner upon death or disability. As of the Record Date, the non-management directors held the following amounts of DSUs and RSUs:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

Corporate Governance Highlights

Our Board of Directors has a long-standing commitment to sound and effective corporate governance, which begins with and fully reflects our Purpose and Values, set forth at the beginning of this Proxy Statement. Our strong corporate governance practices, including those highlighted below, are codified in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and other key governance documents, and demonstrate the commitment of our Board of Directors to enabling an effective structure to support the successful oversight of our business and long-term objectives:

✓

Separate Chairman and CEO

✓

Lead independent director

✓

Majority independent Board

✓

Fully independent Board committees

✓

Regular executive sessions of non-management directors

✓

Risk oversight

✓

Full access to management and internal and external auditors

✓

Board and committees have authority to engage independent advisors as they deem appropriate

✓

Board oversight of succession planning for the CEO and other senior management

✓

Annual Board and committee self-evaluation

Board Leadership Structure

Our governing documents provide our Board of Directors discretion to combine or separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as it may deem appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. Currently, Kevin Plank serves as our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, and Patrik Frisk serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board. We believe that the current separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is appropriate given our company’s strategic and operational priorities. This structure allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus on our company’s business, operations and strategy, while continuing to leverage the Chairman’s experience, perspective and vision.

To further strengthen our corporate governance structure and provide independent oversight of our company, on an annual basis our non-management directors elect an independent director to serve as Lead Director. Dr. El-Erian has been elected to serve as our Lead Director. He acts as a liaison between our Board’s non-management directors and Mr. Plank, Mr. Frisk and the other members of our management team, chairs regular executive sessions of the Board without Mr. Plank and Mr. Frisk present, and performs other functions as requested by the non-management directors.

Independence of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of ten directors, eight (80%) of which are independent non-management directors. The Board has determined that the following eight directors, each of which is standing for election at our 2022 Annual Meeting, are independent under the corporate governance

LOGO

listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE: Douglas E. Coltharp, Jerri L. DeVard, Mohamed A. El-Erian, David W. Gibbs, Karen W. Katz, Westley Moore, Eric T. Olson and Harvey L. Sanders. Mr. Plank and Mr. Frisk are not independent because they are our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively.

Our charter includes additional factors for the Board to consider when determining whether a director will be “independent” under the NYSE standards. Specifically, the Board must consider whether any independent directors have any material financial or service relationship with Mr. Plank or any of his family members. The Board has considered these factors and determined that none of the independent directors have any such relationships. A copy of our charter that includes these requirements is available through our website at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/governance, under “Investors-Corporate Governance.”

Board Meetings and Committees

Our Board meets regularly throughout the year. During 2021, there were six meetings of the Board and several committee meetings as noted in the table below. In 2021, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and the committees of which they were members during that period. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our non-management directors also meet in executive sessions without management at each regularly scheduled Board meeting.

Our Board has the following four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Human Capital and Compensation Committee, a Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and a Finance and Capital Planning Committee. The table below provides current membership and meeting information for 2021 for each of these committees.

(1)	Mr. Gibbs was appointed to our Board on September 1, 2021 and became a member of the Audit Committee and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee effective October 1, 2021, replacing Ms. Katz and Mr. Moore, respectively.

The functions performed by these standing committees are summarized below and are set forth in more detail in their charters. The complete text of the charters for each standing committee can be found on our website at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/governance, under

LOGO

“Investors-Corporate Governance.” The Board has determined that each member of the Audit, Human Capital and Compensation and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committees is independent as required under NYSE listing standards and our charter. Each member of the Finance and Capital Planning Committee is also independent.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors with oversight of matters relating to accounting, internal control, auditing, financial reporting, risk and legal and regulatory compliance. The committee oversees the audit and other services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, and is directly responsible for the appointment, independence, qualifications, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, which reports directly to the committee. The committee also oversees the company’s internal audit function and the chief audit executive, who reports directly to the committee. The Audit Committee Report for 2021 is included in this Proxy Statement under “Audit Committee Report.”

The Board has determined that all of the committee members are independent, financially literate and qualify as “audit committee financial experts” under SEC rules and NYSE listing standards.

Human Capital and Compensation Committee

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee approves the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and our other executive officers, administers our executive benefit plans, including the granting of awards under our equity incentive plans, and advises the Board on director compensation. In February 2021, the Board expanded the role and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, renamed the Human Capital and Compensation Committee, to include primary oversight of our company’s key human capital management strategies and programs, including relating to diversity, equity and inclusion. Throughout 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee received briefings on and discussed a variety of human capital management topics, including strategies and metrics related to diversity, equity and inclusion, employee engagement survey and topics related to COVID-19.

Our CEO, Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and other senior executives evaluate the performance of our executive officers and make recommendations to the Human Capital and Compensation Committee concerning their compensation. The committee considers these evaluations and recommendations, and its evaluation of the Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and the CEO in determining the compensation of our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, CEO and our other executive officers.

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee is also primarily responsible for reviewing and assessing risks arising from our compensation policies and practices. In February 2022, the committee conducted, with the assistance of management, a risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices, which included a review of our material compensation programs, the structure and nature of these programs, the short-term and long-term performance incentive targets used in these programs and how they relate to our business plans and creating stockholder value, corporate governance policies with respect to our compensation programs, including our stock ownership guidelines, and other aspects of our compensation programs. Based on this review and assessment, the committee concluded that the risks related to our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.

Pursuant to its charter, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from advisors, including compensation consultants. In 2021, the committee engaged the services of an independent compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, or WTW, to provide executive compensation consulting services to the committee. This independent consultant reports directly to the committee and the committee retains sole authority to retain and

LOGO

terminate the consulting relationship. In carrying out its responsibilities, the independent consultant collaborates with management to obtain data, provide background on compensation programs and practices, and clarify pertinent information. The committee obtained from the independent consultant competitive market data on compensation for executives to assess generally the competitiveness of our executive compensation. The competitive market data was based on a peer group and WTW’s published industry survey data. The committee generally has not relied on the independent consultant to determine or recommend the amount or form of executive compensation.

Additional information concerning the processes and procedures for considering and determining executive officer compensation is included in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee Report for 2021 is included under the “Human Capital and Compensation Committee Report” section of this Proxy Statement.

A description of the compensation program for our non-management directors, including updates to the program for our upcoming fiscal year, is included below under the “—Compensation of Directors” section of this Proxy Statement.

Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee

The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee identifies individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors, recommends candidates for election or reelection to our Board, oversees the evaluation of our Board and advises our Board regarding committee composition and structure and other corporate governance matters, including reevaluating our Corporate Governance Guidelines on an annual basis. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee also oversees our company’s significant strategies, programs, policies and practices relating to sustainability (including environmental and human rights issues and impacts) and corporate responsibility.

Finance and Capital Planning Committee

The Finance and Capital Planning Committee assists our Board in overseeing our company’s financial and capital investment policies, planning and activities, including matters relating to our capital structure and liquidity, hedging and foreign currency transactions, use of cash, acquisitions and divestitures and capital projects.

Stockholders Meeting Attendance

Directors are encouraged to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we have no specific policy requiring directors’ attendance at such meetings. All of our directors who were directors at that time attended our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Candidates

The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends to the Board candidates to fill vacancies or for election or reelection to the Board. The Board then appoints new Board members to fill vacancies or nominates candidates each year for election or reelection by stockholders. The committee does not have a specific written policy or process regarding the nominations of directors, nor does it maintain minimum standards for director nominees other than as set forth in the committee’s charter as described below.

The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee’s charter requires the committee to establish criteria for selecting new directors, which reflects at a minimum a candidate’s strength of character, judgment, business experience, specific areas of expertise, factors relating to the

LOGO

composition of the Board, including its size and structure, and principles of diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity. The committee also considers the statutory requirements applicable to the composition of the Board and its committees, including the NYSE’s independence requirements. The committee considers each candidate’s experiences, skills and attributes relative to what skills and experiences can best contribute to our Board’s effective operation, particularly in light of our company’s evolving needs and long-term strategy. We believe the nominees for election to the Board contribute a wide range of experiences, skills and attributes to comprise a Board that is well-positioned to provide effective oversight of our company, as illustrated above in each director’s biography set forth in “Election of Directors—Nominees for Election at the Annual Meeting” and the charts included in “Election of Directors—Overview of Director Nominees.”

The Board has not established term limits for directors because of the concern that term limits may deprive the company and its stockholders of the contribution of directors who have developed valuable insights into the company and its operations over time. The tenure of our non-management directors ranges from less than one to seventeen years, with an average tenure of 7.8 years. We have added one new independent director in four of the last five years. We believe the tenure of our Board members provides an appropriate balance of expertise, experience, continuity and perspective that serves the best interests of our stockholders. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines do provide that a director is expected not to stand for reelection after the age of 75. For additional information regarding the age and tenure of the ten director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, see “Election of Directors.”

The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to considering diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity, in identifying director nominees. Consistent with the committee’s charter, when identifying director nominees, the committee considers general principles of diversity, and does so in the broadest sense, considering diversity in terms of business leadership, experience, industry background and geography, as well as gender, race and ethnicity. However, the committee and the Board believe that considering gender, racial and ethnic diversity is consistent with creating a Board that best serves our company’s needs and the interests of our stockholders, and they are important factors considered when identifying individuals for Board membership. The committee strives for directors who represent a mix of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and oversight of our business, and we hope to continue to attract directors with a broader range of backgrounds and experiences. For additional information regarding the diversity of the ten director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, see “Election of Directors—Overview of Director Nominees.”

The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee periodically considers criteria for identifying possible new director candidates as needed, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members and management, including the CEO, and works with management and other Board members in recruiting new candidates. Candidates identified through this process are considered by the full committee for possible recommendation to the Board. From time to time, the committee uses the services of a third-party search firm to assist it in identifying and screening candidates. Mr. Gibbs was elected to the Board in September 2021. Mr. Plank, our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and largest stockholder, recommended Mr. Gibbs to our Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee for consideration. Mr. Gibbs was subsequently vetted by a third-party search firm, after which he was unanimously recommended by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee for nomination.

In addition, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will consider director candidates suggested by stockholders. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the committee may do so by submitting the candidate’s name and qualifications to the committee’s chairman. See “Communications with Directors” above for how to

LOGO

communicate with the chairman of the committee. Our Bylaws include requirements for direct nominations by a stockholder of persons for election to our Board. These requirements are described under “Stockholder Proposals” at the end of this Proxy Statement.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our management team’s overall approach to risk management. Our Board of Directors regularly reviews our financial and strategic plans and objectives, including the risks that may affect the achievement of these plans and objectives, and receives regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and other key executive officers regarding various enterprise risk matters. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our non-management directors also meet at least once each year in executive session with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to review succession planning for our Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive positions.

In addition, our Board of Directors has delegated to each Board committee primary responsibility to oversee the management of risks that fall within their respective areas of responsibility, as described further below. In performing this function, each Board committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage independent outside advisors. At each Board meeting, the chairperson of each Board committee reports on the applicable committee’s activities, including risk management, which provides an opportunity to discuss significant risks with the full Board.

•

Audit Committee: Under its charter, the Audit Committee’s responsibilities include inquiring of management and our independent registered public accounting firm about significant financial risks or exposures, the company’s processes and policies for risk assessment and the steps management has taken to mitigate these risks to the company. The committee receives periodic reports from management on our enterprise risk management program and our risk mitigation efforts. The committee also oversees our legal and regulatory compliance programs and our internal audit function, as well as cybersecurity risks, as described in more detail below.

•

Human Capital and Compensation Committee: The Human Capital and Compensation Committee has the responsibility to review the risks of our compensation policies and practices, including the review of our annual compensation risk assessment.

Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee: The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee oversees risks relating to sustainability, including environmental and human rights issues and impacts.

•

Finance and Capital Planning Committee: The Finance and Capital Planning Committee oversees certain financial matters and risks relating to our capital structure and liquidity, hedging and foreign currency transactions, acquisitions and divestitures and significant capital projects.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

Cybersecurity is a critical component of risk management at Under Armour. Our Board of Directors has delegated primary responsibility to oversee the management of cybersecurity risks to the Audit Committee. The committee receives regular reports regarding our cybersecurity risks, with at least one comprehensive briefing by senior management annually and periodic updates as appropriate. Our global cyber security team, led by our Chief Information Security Officer, coordinates an annual external network penetration test, as well as external security audits of certain systems as appropriate.

LOGO

We require that all employees with access to our systems complete an annual cybersecurity and data privacy training and regularly conduct live training events with various business teams to educate our employees on business critical cybersecurity risks. In addition, as part of our Payment Card Industry compliance, we require all of our retail store employees to complete annual training on protecting payment devices and credit card information. Our training program also includes multiple phishing awareness campaigns throughout the year for all employees with system access. To further drive preparedness and awareness, we conduct an annual tabletop exercise with our executive team focused on cybersecurity risks and business continuity. We regularly evaluate our privacy notices, policies and procedures surrounding our handling and control of personal data and the systems we have in place to help protect us from cybersecurity or personal data incidents or breaches. We also maintain an information security insurance policy, which insures against liability for data incidents or breaches and other technology related exposures.

Environmental, Social and Governance Oversight

We are a purpose-led, values-based organization. Our Purpose — We Empower Those Who Strive for More — articulates why Under Armour exists. Our Values, which are listed at the beginning of this Proxy Statement, capture the beliefs and behaviors that shape our culture and define how we operate as a company and global citizen. Our Purpose and Values, including Act Sustainably and Stand for Equality, steer the ambitions we set as an organization, the questions we ask to guide our strategy and planning, the decisions we make for our culture and brand and the actions we take, including with respect to environmental and social issues and how we engage in related governance.

Sustainability

Our Board of Directors has delegated to our Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee oversight of our significant sustainability strategies, programs, policies and practices. The committee receives regular updates from our Chief Sustainability Officer on these matters, and reviews and approves significant sustainability and corporate responsibility policies and reports.

Our corporate strategy is based on responsible business practices, including a commitment to sustainability and human rights and addressing related opportunities and risks. Our sustainability strategies and goals are reviewed and approved by our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Executive Leadership Team and our Sustainability Leadership Council, composed of our Chief Sustainability Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Product Officer and General Counsel. Our Sustainability team, led by our Chief Sustainability Officer, is responsible for the implementation and day-to-day management of our sustainability program, which addresses environmental (including climate change) and human rights issues and impacts and leads engagement regarding related due diligence and business integration. In 2021, we created an internal Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Task Force to ensure holistic oversight, consideration, analysis and progress of sustainability across our company, and to further support ownership and accountability of sustainability at Under Armour. The ESG Task Force consists of leaders from an array of cross-functional teams, including Enterprise Risk Management, and meets regularly to discuss and collaborate on key ESG issues and initiatives, such as those related to the environment, social and labor, community impact and diversity, equity and inclusion.

We encourage you to learn more about our sustainability initiatives by reviewing our website at https://about.underarmour.com/community/sustainability.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion starts with our Board of Directors and its ongoing commitment to considering principles of diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity, in

LOGO

identifying new director candidates, as described in “Identifying and Evaluating Director Candidates” above. In early 2021, our Board delegated to our Human Capital and Compensation Committee oversight of our key human capital management strategies and programs, including with respect to diversity, equity and inclusion. The committee regularly reviews our progress towards achieving our diversity, equity and inclusion goals.

Our Purpose challenges us continually to protect and evolve our culture. Our Values reflect our foundational belief that having an engaged, diverse and committed workforce enhances our culture and drives our business success, ultimately helping us deliver the most innovative products that make athletes better. We have set measurable goals for improving diversity amongst our team, including a commitment to increase the number of historically underrepresented employees throughout our leadership levels by 2023. These goals are publicly outlined at https://about.underarmour.com/community/diversity-equity-inclusion, where we also publish our representation statistics annually. We are also committed to increasing representation of women in our business’s critical areas, particularly in leadership, commercial and technical roles globally. Our annual incentive plan for all employees, including our executives as described below in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Components of Our 2021 Compensation Program,” incorporates performance measures to further our diversity, equity and inclusion goals.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines to align the financial interests of the company’s executives and non-management directors with the interests of our stockholders. The guidelines currently provide that executive officers should own company stock with a value at least equal to six times the annual base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, three times annual base salary for Executive Vice Presidents and one times annual base salary for all other executive officers, in each case based on the average closing price of our stock for the prior calendar year. Our Board of Directors amended the guidelines in May 2021 to provide that non-management directors should own company stock with a value at least equal to five (previously three) times the amount of the annual retainer paid to directors. Executive officers are expected to achieve the stock ownership levels under these guidelines within five years of their hire or promotion to executive officer and non-management directors within five (previously three) years of joining our Board. The company’s stock ownership guidelines can be found on our website at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/governance, under “Investors-Corporate Governance.”

All executive officers and non-management directors are in compliance with the guidelines as of the last measuring date, or are new to their roles within the last few years and are not yet required to have achieved the applicable stock ownership levels. We anticipate such executive officers and non-management directors will be in compliance with the guidelines within the required time frame.

Communication with Directors

If stockholders or other interested parties wish to communicate with non-management directors, they should write to Under Armour, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1020 Hull Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21230. Further information concerning contacting our Board is available through our investor

relations website at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/governance, under “Investors-Corporate Governance.”

Indemnification of Directors in Derivative Actions

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), we are required to report to stockholders in this Proxy Statement certain information regarding the indemnification or advancement of expenses to members of our Board. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021, certain of our directors and officers have been named as defendants in certain derivative actions brought against the company (the “derivative actions”). Under our Bylaws and the MGCL, our directors and officers may be entitled to indemnification and advancement of legal expenses in certain circumstances in connection with these derivative actions. As the legal representation of our directors other than Mr. Plank and Mr. Frisk is currently combined with the legal representation of our company, we have not advanced or reimbursed expenses of any of our directors other than Mr. Plank and Mr. Frisk to date. During 2021, we advanced approximately $65,722 and $51,544 of legal expenses for Mr. Plank and Mr. Frisk, respectively.

Compensation of Directors

Retainers

The compensation arrangement for non-management directors during 2021 was as follows:


Annual Retainer for each Director	$	75,000
Annual Retainer for Committee Chairs
Audit Committee	$	25,000
Human Capital and Compensation Committee	$	22,500
Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee	$	20,000
Finance and Capital Planning Committee	$	20,000
Annual Retainer for Committee Members	$	10,000
Annual Retainer for Lead Director	$	75,000

The cash retainers are payable in quarterly installments and directors have the option to defer the cash retainers into deferred stock units pursuant to the Non-Employee Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan. Beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we began issuing deferred stock units for shares of our Class C Stock rather than our Class A Stock. Deferred stock units will be settled in shares of our Class A Stock or Class C Stock (as applicable) on a one-for-one basis six months after the director leaves the Board, or sooner upon death or disability. During 2021, we did not pay separate fees for attendance at any Board or standing committee meetings.

Equity Awards

Non-management directors also receive the following equity awards:

•

Upon initial election to the Board, an award of restricted stock units for shares of Class C Stock valued (on the grant date) at $100,000 with the units vesting in three equal annual installments; and

•

An annual award of restricted stock units for shares of Class C Stock valued (on the grant date) at $150,000 following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with the units vesting in full at the following year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The restricted stock units vest in full upon the director’s death or disability or upon a change in control of Under Armour. The restricted stock units are forfeited if the director leaves the Board for any

other reason prior to the scheduled vesting term. Upon vesting of the restricted stock units, the restricted stock units are converted into deferred stock units with the shares delivered six months after the director leaves the Board, or sooner upon death or disability.

The table below sets forth information concerning the compensation of our non-management directors for 2021.

Mr. Bodenheimer served on our Board of Directors through our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 13, 2021. As previously disclosed, Mr. Bodenheimer did not stand for re-election at that meeting. Shares underlying Mr. Bodenheimer’s deferred stock units were delivered to him six months after his departure from our Board, in accordance with their terms. From January 1, 2021 through May 13, 2021, Mr. Bodenheimer served as a member of the Human Capital and Compensation and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committees.

LOGO

Following Mr. Bodenheimer’s departure from our Board, Mr. Moore was appointed as a member of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee and served on the committee from May 13, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

Mr. Gibbs was appointed to our Board on September 1, 2021, and became a member of the Audit Committee (replacing Ms. Katz) and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee (replacing Mr. Moore) effective October 1, 2021. Effective October 1, 2021, Ms. Katz was appointed as a member of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.

Update to Director Compensation for Fiscal Year 2023

As previously disclosed, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. Following a three month-transition period (January 1, 2022 – March 31, 2022), our fiscal year 2023 will run from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. Consequently, there will be no fiscal year 2022. To account for our change in fiscal year end, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, amendments to the company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2022, to align the plan year with our new fiscal year. Under the amended plan, to compensate the non-management directors for the transition period, during the fifteen months from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023, non-employee directors will receive 125% of the regular annual retainer, lead director retainer, committee chair fees and committee member fees, as applicable, each of which will continue to be paid in quarterly installments in arrears. In addition, following the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-management director will receive annual award of restricted stock units for shares of Class C Stock valued (on the grant date) at $187,500, with the units vesting in full at the following year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following is a discussion and analysis of our compensation policies and decisions regarding the 2021 compensation for our executive officers named in the compensation tables in this Proxy Statement.

Executive Summary

During fiscal year 2021, we continued to navigate through a challenging operating environment, while executing against our multi-year transformation initiatives. As the year began, significant uncertainty remained regarding the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, including evolving purchasing behavior and consumer demand and the ongoing risk of resurgences of the pandemic in key markets. Amid this uncertainty, we remained focused on expanding brand awareness and engagement with our consumers, driving premium brand-right sales growth and continuing our focus on operating efficiency and improved profitability. Net revenue in 2021 grew 27% as compared to 2020 (or 8% as compared to 2019 (prior to the pandemic)) to reach $5.7 billion. Income from operations reached $486 million, inclusive of the ongoing impacts of our 2020 restructuring plan.

Our executive compensation programs in 2021 were designed to require our executives to deliver results exceeding our external financial guidance and in-line with the annual operating plan we established in early 2021. Our 2021 annual cash incentive awards emphasized adjusted operating income and net revenue growth, as well as continued focus on our ongoing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Our long-term equity incentive awards ensured the appropriate alignment of our executives with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our ability to drive adjusted operating income and net revenue results that far exceeded our expectations at the beginning of the year, and our ongoing commitment and execution against our diversity, equity and inclusion targets, resulted in the achievement of annual cash incentive awards nearing the maximum level of performance.

Executive Compensation Program Changes for Fiscal Year 2021

In 2021, our named executive officers continued to successfully lead and manage our business through an unpredictable environment. While we reverted to pre-pandemic executive compensation practices in certain elements of our program, the ongoing uncertainty of the impacts of COVID-19 on our business continued to influence the design of our 2021 executive compensation program. Specifically:

•

Base Salaries: During 2020 in response to the pandemic, executive officers agreed to temporary base salary reductions for a six-month period. There were no base salary reductions during 2021.

•

Annual Cash Incentive Awards: For our annual cash incentive awards, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved the following in 2021:

•

Re-establishing the opportunity for a full target award amount (as compared to reductions to target levels by 50% of historical amounts in 2020).

•

Re-establishing our historical practice of threshold, target and maximum levels of performance (as compared to only threshold and target levels in 2020).

LOGO

•

Re-establishing the use of adjusted operating income and net revenue as financial targets (as compared to the 2020 operational targets, which focused on capital preservation and the achievement of specified strategic business objectives).

•

Maintaining two diversity, equity and inclusion metrics to provide increased incentives to advance our efforts of improving the diversity, equity and inclusion of our organization.

•

Annual Equity Award Mix and Value: Historically, the mix of annual equity awards granted to our executives has been 50% time based and 50% performance based. In 2020, annual equity awards were granted with 100% time based restricted stock units, with no “stretch” opportunity. In early 2021, given the continued impact of COVID-19 on our ability to reliably forecast our sales and profitability and the ongoing uncertainty on our business and our industry, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved, maintaining 100% time based annual equity awards for 2021 with no stretch opportunity. Total grant date values were returned to historical pre-pandemic levels, subject to certain adjustments described below (as compared to reduced grant date values in 2020). For our upcoming fiscal year, the committee has approved the use of 50% time based and 50% performance based for the annual equity award program.

2021 Performance and Compensation Highlights

For 2021, a substantial portion of the annual compensation potential for our executive officers was tied to the performance of our company, primarily through:

•

our annual cash incentive plan, with awards earned based primarily on our financial performance in 2021; and

•

our annual equity award program, which were in the form of time based restricted stock unit awards, where the value ultimately realized by our executives depends on our long-term stock price performance.

Our adjusted operating income reached $529 million ($486 million on a GAAP basis), and our net revenue reached $5.7 billion, in each case well above the maximum levels of performance set forth under our 2021 annual cash incentive plan (the maximum adjusted operating income and revenue targets were set at $210 million and $5.1 billion, respectively).

Adjusted operating income amounts presented in this Proxy Statement generally refer to our GAAP operating income, adjusted for certain specified items considered when determining executive compensation. For purposes of determining executive compensation, our annual cash incentive plan specified certain adjustments that should be considered when evaluating performance against the targets, which would have the effect of further increasing adjusted operating income. These adjustments included items such as the impact of certain goodwill impairment charges, the impact of restructuring and other related charges, litigation related expense, foreign exchange losses and charges related to the write-down of our accounts receivable asset due to customer bankruptcies. For a reconciliation of adjusted operating income as set forth in this Proxy Statement to the nearest GAAP measure, see “Appendix A: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

At our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we held an advisory vote to approve executive compensation, commonly referred to as “say on pay.” The Human Capital and Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by stockholders in these votes. While these votes are advisory and non-binding, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee and the Board review the voting results and seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting result.

LOGO

Voting results provide little detail by themselves, and we may consult directly with stockholders to better understand issues and concerns not previously presented.

Our stockholders approved our “say on pay” proposal at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with approximately 81% of the votes cast voting to approve our executive compensation, as compared to approximately 98% in the prior year. As discussed above, in early 2021 as we designed our executive compensation program, the ongoing uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 on our business and performance significantly influenced key elements of our program, particularly the decision to continue to provide 100% time based annual equity awards rather than our historical practice of a mix of time based and performance based awards. The committee considered voting results and feedback received from stockholders in past years when evaluating the design of the 2021 program. For our upcoming fiscal year executive compensation program, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee has approved a mix of 50% performance based equity awards and 50% time based equity awards. The committee will continue to consider results from the annual “say on pay” advisory vote, including the results from the upcoming 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and other stockholder input, when reviewing executive compensation programs, principles and policies.

Objectives and Elements of our Compensation Program

The overall objectives of our compensation program for our executive officers are to:

•

Attract and retain highly qualified executives committed to our brand and our purpose;

•

Reward performance and motivate our executives to build and grow our business profitably;

•

Align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders; and

•

Provide competitive pay based on peer group and market data.

During 2021, the critical elements of our executive compensation program that are designed to help achieve these objectives are as follows:

Compensation Element

Purpose

Key Characteristics

FIXED

Base Salary

Compensate fairly and competitively to help us attract and retain highly qualified executives

Determined primarily by the level of responsibility and experience while also considering competitive market data

AT RISK

We offer limited benefits and perquisites to our executives and do not offer pension or other retirement plans, other than a 401(k) plan that is offered to our employees generally and a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which executives may defer certain compensation; however, we did not make any company contributions to this plan in 2021 for any executive officers. See “—Benefits and Perquisites” below. Our annual equity awards include provisions allowing the acceleration of all or a portion of unvested amounts upon retirement for employees that meet certain criteria based on age and years of service. None of our named executive officers currently meet these retirement eligibility criteria.

Compensation Decision-Making Process

Human Capital and Compensation Committee review process

In early 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee engaged the services of Willis Towers Watson (“WTW”) to provide executive compensation consulting services. The committee obtained from WTW competitive market data on compensation for executives to generally assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation. The competitive market data was based on a peer group and published industry survey data from WTW’s General Industry Executive Compensation and Retail/Wholesale Executive Compensation, among other surveys. The peer group was developed by management based on publicly traded companies within the apparel and footwear industries. Some of the companies within the peer group may compete with us for talent or compare our performance from time to time. The following companies were included in the peer group:


2021 Peer Group
Bath & Body Works, Inc. (formerly L Brands Inc.)	Levi Strauss & Co.	Skechers U.S.A., Inc.
Capri Holdings Limited	lululemon athletica inc.	Tapestry, Inc.
Carters, Inc.	NIKE, Inc.	V.F. Corporation
Columbia Sportswear Company	PVH Corp.	Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
Hanesbrands Inc.	Ralph Lauren Corporation

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee did not target compensation at or near any particular percentile ranking within the peer group or industry survey data or otherwise use this competitive market data to determine the amount or form of executive compensation. Rather the committee used this data as a general assessment of the competitiveness of our executive compensation programs. The committee determined that our executive compensation was reasonable when compared to the peer group and industry data. As discussed throughout this Compensation

LOGO

Discussion and Analysis section, the committee considers many factors in determining executive compensation levels, including the executive’s prior experience, the position and level of responsibility with our company, market competitiveness, and company, business unit and individual performance.

In early 2022, in conjunction with the review of performance against the 2021 annual cash incentive plan targets and 2022 salaries and annual equity awards for executive officers, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee reviewed tally sheets relating to executive officer compensation that were prepared by management. The tally sheets included summary compensation information for 2019 through 2021, including base salary, annual cash incentive awards and equity awards, and the value of unvested equity awards vesting in 2022 and future years.

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee reviewed similar tally sheet data in 2021 in conjunction with the approval of 2021 base salaries and annual equity awards for executive officers.

As COVID-19 continued to impact our business and industry in early 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee also consulted with WTW regarding potential compensation program design adjustments in response to the ongoing uncertainty. The committee considered several factors, including the continued unpredictability of the pandemic on our results, market practices regarding the impact of COVID-19 on executive compensation design in 2020 and expectations for 2021, the importance of pay for performance, feedback received from stockholders, the importance of alignment of interests between executives and our stockholders and the importance of continuing to motivate executives to lead through challenging times. Based on these factors and upon management’s recommendation, in February 2021, the committee determined to maintain the annual equity award program mix of 100% time based awards for 2021 as described in more detail below under “—Components of Our 2021 Compensation Program—Equity Awards.”

Management’s role in determining compensation

As discussed throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, management makes recommendations to the Human Capital and Compensation Committee on base salaries, annual cash incentive awards, annual equity awards and other types of compensation for executive officers, other than our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and our CEO, Messrs. Plank and Frisk. Mr. Frisk, with input from other senior executives, has generally recommended the salaries, annual incentive awards and equity awards for our executive officers. The recommendations are based on an assessment of each executive’s performance, including the performance of the business unit(s) for which the executive officer has responsibility and contributions made to the overall success of our business. Mr. Plank, our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, provides recommendations with respect to Mr. Frisk’s compensation to the committee based on Mr. Frisk’s performance and the overall success of our business.

Certain executives, including our CEO, our Chief People and Administrative Officer, our Vice President of Total Rewards, our Chief Financial Officer and our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, have also been involved in recommendations on the design and framework for our annual cash incentive awards and our annual equity awards. These executives also attend meetings of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee from time to time. The committee generally approves salaries and annual incentive awards for executive officers in executive sessions of the committee without management present.

Components of Our 2021 Compensation Program

BASE SALARY

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee approves base salaries for our executive officers at levels it deems appropriate based primarily on the executive’s level of responsibility, experience and competitive market data.

The following table summarizes the base salaries for our named executive officers approved by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee for 2021:


Named Executive	Title	2021 Base Salary⁽¹⁾
Patrik Frisk	President and Chief Executive Officer	$	1,300,000
Kevin Plank	Executive Chairman and Brand Chief	$	500,000
David Bergman	Chief Financial Officer	$	750,000
Colin Browne	Chief Operating Officer	$	775,000
Stephanie Pugliese	President, Americas	$	750,000

(1)	As discussed below in the notes to the 2021 Summary Compensation Table, these base salaries became effective March 29, 2021.

For our named executive officers, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee took the following actions for 2021:

•

Mr. Frisk: Approved a base salary increase from $1.25 million to $1.3 million based on a review of his total direct compensation as compared to relevant market data.

•

Mr. Plank: Approved a new base salary of $500,000 as Executive Chairman and Brand Chief based on a review of his total direct compensation as compared to relevant market data. In 2008, Mr. Plank had voluntarily reduced his salary as CEO from $500,000 to $26,000, which was his approximate salary when he founded our company, and his salary had not been adjusted since then.

•

Mr. Bergman: Approved a base salary increase from $685,000 to $750,000 based on a review of his total direct compensation as compared to relevant market data.

•

Mr. Browne: Approved a base salary increase from $700,000 to $775,000 based on a review of his total direct compensation as compared to relevant market data, as well as additional responsibilities assumed by Mr. Browne in late 2020, primarily the oversight of information technology.

•

Ms. Pugliese: Approved a base salary increase from $700,000 to $750,000 based on a review of her total direct compensation as compared to relevant market data, as well as additional responsibilities assumed by Ms. Pugliese in late 2020 with the oversight of our Latin America region.

Before approving each of the increases reflected above, the committee considered competitive market data on compensation for comparable positions from WTW’s executive compensation market assessment, which includes surveys and proxy data.

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARD

2021 Plan Design and Performance Measures

We have an annual cash incentive plan for our executive officers pursuant to which executives are eligible for a cash incentive award based primarily on company performance during the year. In February 2021, we announced our financial expectations for fiscal year 2021, noting that we expected net revenue growth at a high-single digit percentage rate as compared to the prior year, and adjusted operating income of $130 million to $150 million. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee considered these expectations and the continued uncertainty regarding the impacts of COVID-19 on our business when establishing targets under the annual cash incentive plan. The committee also considered the continued importance of our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Below is a summary of the targets considered in our annual cash incentive plan for 2021, their relative weighting and our performance against each metric:

Exceeded Target

The Adjusted Operating Income targets above must include the funding for the incentive award amounts. As a result, in order to fund higher incentive award amounts above the threshold level, the company must have achieved Operating Income levels even higher than those shown above. Our actual GAAP reported Operating Income for 2021 was approximately $486 million.

The threshold Adjusted Operating Income goal must be met for the Net Revenue and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion performance metrics to be funded for payout. If the Adjusted Operating Income payout is above threshold, but below target, the payout for the Net Revenue and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion metrics cannot exceed 50% of the Adjusted Operating Income payout.

Our annual cash incentive plan for executives for 2021 was based primarily on the financial and diversity, equity and inclusion targets described above. For the financial targets, each executive’s performance was tied to overall company performance rather than individual business units. For executives in charge of certain business units, achievement of diversity, equity and inclusion targets is measured based on the individual business unit performance. For Mr. Frisk and Mr. Plank, however, 100% of their incentive award was tied to the financial performance and diversity, equity and inclusion targets for the overall company. In addition, while the annual cash incentive award amounts are primarily determined based on the company-wide measures discussed above, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee also considers the individual performance of our executive officers, and may adjust up or down the annual cash incentive amounts based on individual performance during the year. Performance reviews are generally based on a qualitative assessment of performance and consider the executive’s performance and the performance of the department or departments for which the executive has responsibility and the contributions the executive and department are making to the overall success of Under Armour.

Incentive Award Levels and 2021 Results

For 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee set the following award target levels under our annual cash incentive plan for our named executive officers based on achievement of the metrics outlined above:


	Threshold	Target	Maximum
	(Pays at 50% of Target)		(Pays at 200% of Target)

Chief Executive Officer	82.5% of annual salary	165% of annual salary	330% of annual salary
2020 Award Levels	37.5% of annual salary	75% of annual salary	None
Pre-COVID-19 Expectation	75% of annual salary	150% of annual salary	300% of annual salary

Executive Chairman and Brand Chief	$500,000	$1,000,000	$2,000,000
2020 Award Levels	$500,000	$1,000,000	None
Pre-COVID-19 Expectation	$1,000,000	$2,000,000	$4,000,000

Other Named Executive Officers	37.5% of annual salary	75% of annual salary	150% of annual salary
2020 Award Levels	18.75% of annual salary	37.5% of annual salary	None
Pre-COVID-19 Expectation	37.5% of annual salary	75% of annual salary	150% of annual salary

Between the threshold amount and the target amount of each metric, and the target amount and maximum amount of each metric, the company utilizes a sliding scale to determine the payout based on the amount of funding generated by the incremental adjusted operating income dollars, revenue dollars, percentage of organizational education achievements or percentage of representation improvements. The annual incentive amounts for all the named executive officers were set at the above levels in order to have a significant percentage of the executive officers’ total compensation tied primarily to corporate performance. We believe tying a significant percentage of executive officers’ total compensation to corporate performance supports our objective to motivate our executives to build and profitably grow our business.

In 2020 in response to COVID-19, we reduced the award levels under our annual cash incentive plan by 50%, and did not include an opportunity for a “maximum” level of performance. For our 2021 annual cash incentive plan, with respect to our named executive officers other than Mr. Frisk and Mr. Plank, we returned the award target levels to pre-pandemic expectations. Based on a review of relevant market data and Mr. Frisk’s continued strong performance, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved an increase in Mr. Frisk’s target level of performance to 165% of his annual base salary, as compared to the 150% pre-pandemic expectation. The committee also approved a decrease in Mr. Plank’s target level to $1 million, as compared to the $2 million pre-pandemic expectation. With respect to Mr. Plank, the committee considered his transition from

LOGO

CEO to Executive Chairman and Brand Chief at the start of 2020, the critical role Mr. Plank continues to play in his current role, other adjustments to the components of his compensation and relevant market data.

With respect to the financial targets, we achieved the maximum performance level, with adjusted operating income of $529 million, and net revenue of $5,683 million. With respect to the diversity, equity and inclusion targets, overall company performance exceeded the target performance level for each measure. For those named executive officers whose achievement of diversity, equity and inclusion targets was measured based on individual business unit performance, performance also met or exceeded the target performance level.

Based on these performance conditions, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved 2021 annual cash incentive award amounts for the named executive officers at amounts ranging from 185% to 189.5% of the target level.

The annual cash incentive award for our executives is primarily determined based on the performance measures discussed above. However, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee considers the overall performance of our CEO and the other executive officers, and may adjust up or down the annual incentive amounts based on individual performance during the year. Performance reviews are generally based on a qualitative assessment of performance and consider the executive’s performance and the performance of the department or departments for which the executive has responsibility, as well as the contributions the executive and department are making to the overall success of Under Armour. For 2021, based on our overall strong results, management did not recommend, and the committee did not make, any further adjustments to the annual cash incentive awards for the named executive officers based on individual performance.

For the annual cash incentive amounts paid to the named executive officers, see the “2021 Summary Compensation Table” below.

EQUITY AWARDS

Management and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee believe equity awards are an essential component of executive compensation and serve to align better the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee approves equity awards under our Third Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to enhance our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executives and other persons and to motivate them to improve our business results and earnings for the long term by providing them with equity holdings in Under Armour. While the committee has the discretion under the terms of the plan to issue awards for shares of our Class A Stock, the committee has used only our Class C Stock for equity compensation in recent years.

Annual Equity Awards for 2021

As discussed above, historically, the mix of annual equity awards granted to our executives has been 50% time based and 50% performance based. In response to the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, in 2020 the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved temporary changes to the design of our annual equity award program to provide for 100% time based annual equity awards, with a reduced grant date value in response to the challenging business environment and significant declines in our stock price in 2020.

In early 2021, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved, maintaining the design of our annual equity award program to consist of 100% time based

LOGO

annual equity awards for 2021. Management further recommended and the committee approved that the grant date fair value of annual equity awards for executives return to historical pre-pandemic levels, subject to certain adjustments described below.

The following provides a summary of our 2021 annual equity award program for our named executive officers as compared to our pre-pandemic program. For our upcoming fiscal year, we have returned to a mix of 50% time based and 50% performance based annual equity awards. For further discussion of the design of our executive compensation program for the upcoming fiscal year, see “—Fiscal Year 2023 Compensation Changes” below.

LOGO

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee considered several factors when evaluating the design of the 2021 equity awards. In early 2021, the potential impacts of COVID-19 on our business continued to be highly uncertain and continued to significantly impact management’s ability to reliably forecast the long-term financial targets historically used in connection with performance based equity awards, specifically net revenues and operating income. The committee considered whether to continue to reduce the grant date fair value of the annual awards or to return to pre-pandemic award levels. The committee considered relevant market data and the importance of aligning executive interests with our stockholders and the importance of motivating executives to lead through challenging times when making its decision. Weighing these factors, management recommended, and the committee approved, maintaining 100% time based annual equity awards for 2021 for executives, with grant date fair values returning to historical pre-pandemic levels, subject to certain adjustments described in more detail below.

Executive officers and members of management received their annual equity awards in the form of time based restricted stock units. Since 2015, Mr. Plank had received his annual equity awards in the form of stock options. In early 2021, WTW conducted a review of relevant market data of total direct compensation for the executive chairman role and the compensation realized by Mr. Plank in recent years. Based on this review, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved, granting Mr. Plank’s 2021 annual equity award in the form of restricted stock units, rather than stock options.

LOGO

Employees receiving equity awards under the 2005 Plan are chosen primarily based on their position and responsibilities within the company. For executive officers, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee considered the mix of equity awards as part of executives’ total compensation.

With respect to Mr. Frisk, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved, an annual time based equity award with a grant date fair value of $10 million for 2021, as compared to his target total annual equity award value of $7 million (based on pre-COVID-19 practices). In considering this increase, the committee considered Mr. Frisk’s contributions in leading the organization through a restructuring and positioning our organization for improved efficiency and profitable growth going forward with a focused strategy and significant operational improvements. The committee reviewed and considered the total compensation realized by Mr. Frisk in recent years, as well as relevant market data.

With respect to each of Mr. Browne and Ms. Pugliese, management recommended, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved, an annual time based equity award with a grant date fair value of $2.25 million, as compared to target total annual equity award values of $1.25 million (based on pre-COVID-19 practices). In considering each of these changes the committee considered the executive’s performance throughout 2020, leading the organization through unprecedented challenges, and the impact of our 2020 restructuring program on Mr. Browne’s and Ms. Pugliese’s respective organizations, following which they each assumed additional responsibilities. The committee also considered succession planning, retention and the criticality of their respective roles.

These equity awards are included in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 2021” table below.

Time Based Equity Awards

From time to time management recommends, and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approves, other time based restricted stock unit awards to certain of our executive officers, typically in connection with the officer joining our company or to ensure that the officer’s financial interests are sufficiently aligned with the interests of our stockholders. In determining the amount of these awards, management and the committee considered primarily the executive’s position and level of responsibility within our company, as well as the retention and long-term incentive value of the award. None of the named executive officers received these awards during 2021.

FISCAL YEAR 2023 COMPENSATION CHANGES

In connection with the Human Capital and Compensation Committee’s annual review of executive compensation, in its meetings in October 2021 and February 2022, the committee considered the design of our fiscal year 2023 executive compensation program, which will cover both the transition period and fiscal year 2023, and made certain adjustments to the design of our fiscal year 2023 annual equity program as compared to the design of our 2021 program. Specifically, the committee determined to return to its historical pre-pandemic practice of granting 50% time based restricted stock unit awards and 50% performance based restricted stock unit awards in connection with the fiscal year 2023 annual equity award program. The time based awards were granted in February 2022 and will vest in three equal annual installments beginning in May 2023. The performance based awards are expected to be granted following the release of our fiscal year 2023 financial guidance during the first

LOGO

quarter of fiscal year 2023, and are expected to utilize revenue and adjusted operating income performance measures for a three-year performance period, from fiscal year 2023 through 2025. The awards will be eligible to vest in May 2025 based on performance. In addition, the committee returned Mr. Frisk’s total target annual equity award amount to $7.0 million (consistent with the pre-pandemic level), as compared to $10.0 million for 2021, and Ms. Pugliese’s total target annual equity award amount to $1.25 million, as compared to $2.25 million for 2021. Based on a review of market data, the committee approved adjustments to the total target annual equity award amount for the roles of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer to $1.75 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as compared to pre-pandemic levels of $1.25 million each.

BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

We have no defined benefit pension plan or any type of supplemental retirement plan for executives. We have a deferred compensation plan to provide senior management, including executive officers, with a way to save on a tax-deferred basis for retirement and other needs. The plan allows for company contributions in certain limited cases. See “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” for a description of this plan and the balances under the plan for the named executive officers. We did not make any company contributions to the plan in 2021 for any named executive officer.

Executive officers are eligible to participate in our broad-based benefit plans available to employees generally, including a 401(k) plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

We pay the premiums for supplemental long-term disability insurance for our executive officers. The standard benefit offered to all employees provides long-term disability insurance equal to 50% of their salary, with the ability for the employee to elect to pay the premiums for up to an additional 16.66% of their salary (for 66.66% in total). The benefit is capped at a maximum benefit of $10,000 per month. The cap results in a lower percentage of salary paid for executive officers under the standard benefit. The supplemental policy for our named executive officers provides additional coverage of up to $20,000 per month. We do not provide any tax gross-up to our executive officers to cover the income taxes incurred as a result of our paying the premiums on these policies.

We maintain a lease of a corporate aircraft for business purposes. In light of ongoing health and safety concerns due to COVID-19, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved personal use of the aircraft by Mr. Frisk for up to $250,000 of aggregate incremental cost to the company over the 15-month period between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022 without requiring reimbursement. His personal use of the aircraft is primarily in connection with travel to and from our global corporate headquarters. We permit Mr. Frisk’s family to accompany him on any such personal trips. We provide a tax gross-up to Mr. Frisk with respect to the taxable income attributed to his use of the aircraft.

Other Compensation Practices

Equity Grant Practices

During 2021, equity awards were generally granted to executive officers at one of our regularly scheduled Human Capital and Compensation Committee meetings. Our practice is to grant restricted stock units with a grant date fair value based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. In years where stock options are granted, our practice is to grant stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. We have not had any program, plan or practice to select stock option grant dates for executive officers in coordination with the release of material non-public information in order to create value for the executive when the stock price increases over the exercise price for the stock option.

LOGO

Hedging and Pledging

As part of our insider trading policy, our board has adopted prohibitions against specified individuals from engaging in certain hedging transactions of Under Armour stock. This policy applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, as well as their spouses, minor children, relatives and other persons who live with them, and any trusts, estates or other entities over which they exercise control or in which they have any beneficial interest. Persons subject to the policy are prohibited from effecting short sales of our securities. Our insider trading policy defines a short sale as a sale involving securities the seller does not own at the time of the sale or, if owned by the seller, securities that will be delivered on a delayed basis beyond the customary settlement date. Our insider trading policy also prohibits purchases or sales of derivative securities, such as puts and calls, relating to our stock. While our policy does not prohibit pledging our securities, none of our directors or executive officers has any shares pledged as security.

Executive Severance

We have a change in control severance agreement with all of our executives except for our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, Mr. Plank. The purpose of the agreement is to ensure that we are able to receive and rely upon the executive’s advice as to the best interest of the company and our stockholders in connection with a change in control without concern that the executive might be distracted, or his or her advice may be affected by the personal uncertainties and risks created by a change in control. The agreements generally provide severance only following a change in control and only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or the executive leaves for good reason within one year after the change in control, generally referred to as a “double trigger.” The agreements do not provide for a tax gross-up. The primary benefit offered under the agreements is severance in an amount equal to one year’s salary and annual incentive award plus a pro-rata annual incentive award for the year in which the employment ends. The executive must agree not to compete against the company for one year to receive these benefits. The agreements have a fixed two-year term with no automatic renewal of the term. In early 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee and the Board reviewed the agreements and decided that the agreements were reasonable and should be extended through the end of 2023.

We also provide severance benefits to all of our executives (other than Mr. Plank) in connection with a termination without cause occurring other than in connection with a change in control. As described in further detail below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control,” we have agreed to provide Mr. Frisk certain payments upon the termination of his employment without cause or his resignation for good reason.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

In prior years, management and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee have reviewed and considered, as appropriate, the effect of limitations on deductibility for federal income tax purposes under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of compensation in excess of $1 million that was paid to certain executive officers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 repealed the exemption from the Section 162(m) deduction limit for performance based compensation, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, all performance based compensation paid to our named executives is now included when determining compensation in excess of $1 million that generally will not be deductible. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee believes that the lost deduction on compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the benefit of attracting and retaining talented management. Accordingly, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee will continue to retain the discretion to pay compensation that is not deductible.

Reflects the grant date fair value of all performance and time based restricted stock unit and stock option awards in accordance with SEC disclosure rules. As discussed above, due to the impact of COVID-19, no performance based awards were granted in 2020 or 2021. Performance based awards granted in 2019 included threshold, target and stretch levels of performance. The 2019 performance based awards were based on a combined 2019-2020 performance period and were forfeited in full in light of the reduced sales due to COVID-19, with no adjustments to prior targets or substitute awards granted.

In accordance with SEC disclosure rules, we are required to present the fair values of the 2019 performance based awards at grant date assuming achievement at the highest level or “stretch” level of performance conditions for each of these awards (equal to 200% of the target value) . The value of any time based awards are not included.

The insurance premiums are for supplemental disability insurance for the named executive officers. This insurance provides up to $20,000 per month in disability insurance until age 67 and supplements the disability insurance offered to employees generally, which provides a maximum of $10,000 per month.

(b)

For Mr. Frisk, the other compensation includes aggregate incremental costs to the company of $198,335 for personal use of our corporate aircraft and $23,312 for tax services. The aggregate incremental cost to the company for personal use of our aircraft is calculated based on identifiable variable operating costs, which generally include the cost of fuel, crew travel expenses, catering and landing fees. Because our aircraft is leased primarily for business use based on a fixed monthly lease rate, we do not allocate any of the monthly lease rate or other fixed monthly costs that do not change based on usage. We believe that the use of this methodology is a reasonably accurate method for calculating the incremental operating costs. In addition, from time to time, family members of an executive may travel on our aircraft for personal reasons when the aircraft is already going to a specific destination for a business reason, which has minimal incremental cost to the company. When this occurs, only the direct variable costs associated with the additional passenger (for example, catering) are included in determining aggregate incremental cost to the company. For Mr. Frisk, All Other Compensation for 2019 and 2020 includes aggregate incremental costs to the company for tax services of $31,925 and $25,508, respectively. These amounts were previously inadvertently underreported in prior years. Mr. Frisk’s 2019 and 2020 compensation has been updated to include these amounts. For Ms. Pugliese, the other compensation includes the cost of an executive health exam.

(c)

For Mr. Frisk, tax reimbursements include a gross-up amount to cover taxes on the items identified in note (b) above.

As discussed above, Mr. Frisk received a base salary increase from $1.25 million to $1.3 million, effective March 29, 2021, and his target non-equity incentive compensation award increased from 150% to 165% of his base salary. As discussed in more detail below, Mr. Frisk’s total actual realized compensation was approximately $11.57 million in 2021. Please see “CEO Actual Compensation Realized” immediately below this 2021 Summary Compensation Table.

(5)	As discussed above, Mr. Plank received a base salary increase from $26,000 to $500,000, effective March 29, 2021, and his target non-equity incentive compensation award decreased to $1,000,000.

(6)	As discussed above, Mr. Bergman received a base salary increase from $685,000 to $750,000, effective March 29, 2021.

(7)	As discussed above, Mr. Browne received a base salary increase from $700,000 to $775,000, effective March 29, 2021.

(8)

As discussed above, Ms. Pugliese received a base salary increase from $700,000 to $750,000, effective March 29, 2021. Ms. Pugliese joined our company in September 2019 as President, North America, and was named President of the Americas in June 2020. Since Ms. Pugliese only became a named executive officer in 2020, we are only required to provide her 2020 and 2021 compensation.

CEO Actual Compensation Realized

The supplemental table below sets forth 2021, 2020 and 2019 compensation for Mr. Frisk, our CEO, and is not a substitute for the Summary Compensation Table above. “Total Actual Compensation Realized” reports the actual value realized during the year on equity compensation, including the vesting of restricted stock units granted in prior years. This differs from “Total” compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, which as noted above presents the grant date fair value of equity awards granted in that year. We believe this supplemental table more accurately reflects the significant impact the company’s performance has had on Mr. Frisk’s compensation in past periods compared to the Summary Compensation Table presented above. We further believe this table provides important context to our stockholders regarding the total value delivered to Mr. Frisk each year.

As more fully described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, executives were eligible for a possible cash award for 2021 pursuant to our annual cash incentive plan based primarily on corporate performance. The threshold, target and maximum amounts in the table reflect the possible incentive awards based on corporate performance. The target incentive award for Mr. Frisk was 165% of his base salary (prorated for the increase that took effect on March 29, 2021); the target incentive award for Mr. Plank was $1.0 million; and for the other named executives, the target incentive award was 75% of their base salaries (prorated for the increases that took effect on March 29, 2021). The threshold and maximum incentive awards were 50% and 200% of the target award amount, respectively.

(2)

As described above, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, time based restricted stock unit awards have represented 50% of the annual equity awards granted to our named executive officers, with the remaining 50% being granted in the form of performance based restricted stock units. However, due to a variety of factors discussed above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Decision-Making Process—Human Capital and Compensation Committee review process,” upon management’s recommendation, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee approved the grant of 100% time based restricted stock unit awards for 2021. As described above in the “—Equity Awards—Annual Equity Awards for 2021,” Mr. Frisk, Mr. Browne and Ms. Pugliese were each granted an increased annual time based restricted stock unit award (as compared to pre-COVID-19 levels). All of the time based restricted stock unit awards vest in four equal annual installments beginning in February 2022 and are subject to continued employment. All of the awards vest sooner upon death or disability or upon an involuntary termination following a change in control of Under Armour. Dividend equivalents are not paid on restricted stock units.

Employment Agreements

We have no employment agreements with any of our named executive officers.

The stock options granted on February 17, 2015 with the exercise price of $36.71 represent shares of our Class A Stock. Equity awards granted prior to April 2016 were for shares of our Class A stock. In April 2016, in connection with our recapitalization we paid a dividend to stockholders of record of one share of our Class C Stock for each share of Class A Stock and Class B Stock outstanding (the “Class C Dividend”) and any equity awards granted thereafter were for shares of our Class C Stock. In accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan, awards outstanding under the 2005 Plan for shares of our Class A Stock in April 2016 were adjusted on a one-for-one basis to provide for the issuance of an equal number of our Class C Stock. Following this adjustment, in June 2016 we paid a dividend to holders of our Class C Stock in the form of additional shares of Class C Stock (the “Adjustment Payment Dividend”). Pursuant to the 2005 Plan, awards outstanding under the 2005 Plan for shares of our Class C Stock were adjusted in accordance with the distribution ratio for the dividend. Accordingly, the equity awards granted February 17, 2015 in the table above reflect these adjustments.

(2)

Awards in this column include both time based stock options and performance based stock options for which the performance conditions have been satisfied. The stock option award granted in 2018 becomes exercisable in one remaining installment in 2022. The stock option award granted in 2019 becomes exercisable in two remaining equal annual installments in 2022 and 2023. The stock option award granted in 2020 becomes exercisable in three remaining equal annual installments in 2022, 2023 and 2024. All of the unexercisable options are subject to continued employment and become exercisable sooner upon death or disability or, in certain circumstances, following a change in control of Under Armour.

Awards in this column include both time based restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units for which the performance conditions have been satisfied. Set forth below is a schedule of the vesting related to each grant date for the restricted stock units identified in this column. Vesting is subject to continued employment.

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee oversees the plan. The plan allows a select group of management or highly compensated employees as approved by the committee to make annual base salary and annual incentive award deferrals.

Participating employees may elect to defer from 5% to 75% of their annual base salary and 5% to 90% of their annual incentive award. They generally must make salary deferral elections for a given year by December 31st of the prior year, and incentive award deferral elections for a given year by June 30th of the year for which incentive awards are earned. For example, to defer any 2021 incentive award that might be payable in early 2022, employees must have made an election by June 30, 2021. Deferral elections cannot be changed or revoked except in very limited hardship circumstances as permitted under applicable law. Employees immediately vest in all amounts credited to their accounts.

The plan includes a “make whole” feature for employees who, due to participation in the plan, receive a reduction in the matching contribution under our 401(k) plan. A reduction occurs under the 401(k) plan because of the rule that prohibits the 401(k) plan from recognizing deferrals to a

LOGO

non-qualified plan, such as our deferred compensation plan, in the 401(k) plan’s definition of compensation for matching contribution purposes. Under the plan feature, any amount that, because of these rules, cannot be contributed as a matching contribution to the 401(k) plan will be contributed instead to the deferred compensation plan for those participants employed on the last day of the year. We make no other contributions to the plan.

We credit the deferred compensation accounts with earnings or losses based on the performance of one or more money market or mutual funds selected by the employee from several investment options offered under the plan. Employees may change their investment elections daily. We contribute to a grantor trust to provide us with a source of funds for the benefits payable to participants under the plan. The trust assets are available to provide benefits under the plan unless Under Armour is bankrupt or insolvent.

The timing of distributions is based on elections made by the employees at the time of the initial deferral election. Employees can generally elect to receive a distribution from the plan at least three years after the year in which the deferral amount is actually deferred. Employees may elect to postpone the distribution date for a minimum of five years if they do so at least one year before the previously specified date (a “re-election deferral”). Employees may elect to receive a distribution upon retirement in a lump sum or in annual installments over a period of two to ten years, as selected by the employee at the time of deferral. If an employee leaves the company, we pay distributions in a lump sum six months following termination of employment, or employees can elect annual installments over a period of two to ten years, with the ability to execute a re-election deferral. If an employee dies, we pay a distribution in a lump sum to the employee’s beneficiary. Employees may not otherwise withdraw amounts from the plan except in the case of an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the plan.

Retirement Plans

We have no defined benefit pension plans or supplemental retirement plans for executives.

Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The table provides an estimate of the payments and benefits that would be paid to our named executive officers in connection with any termination of employment or upon a change in control of Under Armour. The payments are calculated assuming the termination of employment or change in control occurred on December 31, 2021. All of our named executive officers, except for Mr. Plank, are subject to a change in control severance agreement.

The definitions of “change in control,” “cause” and “good reason” and descriptions of the payments and benefits appear after the table. The table does not include amounts deferred under our deferred compensation plan. For a description of the distributions made under this plan upon termination of employment, see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for 2021” above.

LOGO

Definitions

In the change in control severance agreements and for the equity awards, the term “change in control” is generally defined as:

•

any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Under Armour representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by Under Armour’s then-outstanding voting securities, except for acquisitions by an Under Armour employee benefit plan or by Mr. Plank or his immediate family members;

•

a change in the composition of our Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are incumbent directors;

•

the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Under Armour with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation where our stockholders continue to have at least 50% of the total voting power in substantially the same proportion as prior to such merger or consolidation or where our directors continue to represent at least 50% of the directors of the surviving entity; or

•

the consummation of the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets.

In the change in control severance agreements and for the equity awards, the term “cause” is generally defined as:

•

material misconduct or neglect in the performance of duties;

•

any felony, an offense punishable by imprisonment, any offense involving material dishonesty, fraud, moral turpitude or immoral conduct, or any crime of sufficient importance to potentially discredit or adversely affect our ability to conduct our business;

•

material breach of our code of conduct;

•

any act that results in severe harm to us, excluding any act taken in good faith reasonably believed to be in our best interests; or

•

material breach of the agreement and the related confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement.

In the change in control severance agreements and for the equity awards, the term “good reason” is generally defined as:

•

a diminishment in the scope of duties or responsibilities;

•

a reduction in base salary, bonus opportunity or a material reduction in the aggregate benefits or perquisites;

•

relocation more than 50 miles from the executive’s primary place of business, or a significant increase in required travel;

•

a failure by any successor to Under Armour to assume the change in control severance agreement; or

•

a material breach by us of any of the terms of the change in control severance agreement.

Benefits and Payments

Upon a Change in Control

All restricted stock units and stock options require a double trigger for vesting in connection with a Change in Control. Double-trigger vesting requires both a Change in Control and a termination of the award holder’s employment without Cause or resignation by the executive for Good Reason in connection with that Change in Control for the vesting of unvested equity awards to accelerate.

LOGO

Upon termination of employment by the company without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason in connection with a Change in Control

Under the change in control severance agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason in connection with a Change in Control, the executive would receive:

•

accrued but unpaid salary and vacation pay (no amounts assumed based on the termination date of December 31, 2021);

•

a pro-rata bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs at the higher of the average bonus paid in the two years prior to termination of employment or the target bonus for the year of such termination of employment (assumed in this case to be the annual target bonus);

•

a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (1) the annual base salary of the executive at the highest rate in effect during the twelve month period following the change in control and (2) the higher of the average bonus paid in the two years prior to termination of employment or the target bonus for the year of such termination of employment (assumed in this case to be the annual target bonus); and

•

for a period of up to one year after the date of termination, the continuation of certain medical, life insurance (assumed in this case the cost to our company to maintain current coverage upon separation) and other welfare benefits unless the executive becomes eligible for another employer’s substantially similar benefits.

As a condition to the receipt of the lump sum payment and the continuation of benefits described above, the executive will be required to sign or reconfirm a confidentiality agreement and a one-year non-competition and non-solicitation agreement and execute a general release of claims against Under Armour and its affiliates.

Upon termination of employment for any other reason in connection with a Change in Control

Under the change in control severance agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, other than Cause or Good Reason, the executive is entitled to:

•

accrued but unpaid salary and vacation pay (no amounts assumed based on termination date of December 31, 2021); and

•

a pro-rata bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs (assumed in this case to be the annual target bonus).

Termination of employment by the company without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason

Upon joining our company in July 2017, Mr. Frisk’s confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement provided for certain payments upon the termination of his employment without Cause or his resignation for Good Reason. In June 2021, the company and Mr. Frisk entered into an amendment to the confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, which states that if Mr. Frisk would otherwise be entitled to greater severance under the terms of our executive severance policy (described below) in connection with a termination by the company without Cause, then such terms of the executive severance plan will control. In the event he resigned for Good Reason on December 31, 2021, pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Mr. Frisk would receive 12-months of his annual base salary, plus the continuation of medical benefits during the severance period. In the event the company terminated his employment without Cause, Mr. Frisk would receive the same benefits as the other executives under our executive severance policy as described below. The definitions of “Cause” and “Good Reason” in this agreement are materially consistent with the definition of those terms in our change in control severance agreements, as described above.

LOGO

Termination of employment without Cause

Under our executive severance policy, if an executive’s employment is terminated without Cause, the executive is entitled to a lump-sum payment of one-year of annual base salary, a pro-rated annual cash incentive award based on our company’s actual performance for the year (subject to the executive having been employed through at least the first six months of the year, with payment delivered in the following year concurrently with payments to all employees) and fully paid premiums for medical and dental benefits for a period of 12-months. Receipt of these benefits is subject to the executive signing a non-competition agreement with our company. Mr. Plank is not subject to this policy.

Termination of employment for any reason with Under Armour enforcing a non-compete

Executives generally may not compete for one year after termination of employment for any reason if we continue to pay 60% of their salary during this period.

Disability

All restricted stock units, performance based restricted stock units (except as described below) and stock options vest upon the executive’s disability.

The named executive officers are covered by a supplemental long-term disability insurance policy that provides an additional benefit beyond the standard benefit offered to employees generally (standard benefit is up to $10,000 monthly). If executives had become disabled, they would have received monthly supplemental disability insurance payments of $20,000 until age 65. Monthly disability payments are not included in the above table because they are paid under a disability insurance policy and not by Under Armour.

Death

All restricted stock units and stock options vest upon the executive’s death.

CEO Pay Ratio

Pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements, we are presenting the ratio of the annual total compensation for fiscal year 2021 of Mr. Frisk, our Chief Executive Officer, to that of the median of the annual total compensation for all of our employees.

We previously identified our median employee by examining the total cash compensation paid during our 2020 fiscal year to employees who were employed by Under Armour, Inc. or any of its consolidated subsidiaries on October 1, 2020 (excluding Mr. Frisk). Our median employee has historically been identified as a part-time, hourly employee working in one of our retail stores in North America. During our 2020 fiscal year, we closed many of our brand and factory house stores due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted the total number of hours worked by our retail employees. In addition, as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, in May 2021, we announced an increase in the minimum pay rate for hourly employees in the United States and Canada from a minimum of $10 per hour to $15 per hour ($15.25 Canadian dollars per hour in Canada), which went into effect on June 6, 2021. Given these developments, we have identified a new median employee for fiscal year 2021.

We identified our median employee by examining the total cash compensation paid during our 2021 fiscal year to employees who were employed by Under Armour, Inc. or any of its consolidated subsidiaries on October 1, 2021 (excluding Mr. Frisk). This included our full-time, part-time and seasonal employees, subject to certain exceptions for employees in foreign jurisdictions as described

LOGO

below. We believe that total cash compensation reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employee population, given the limited number of our employees receiving other forms of compensation (such as equity awards). We examined our internal payroll and similar records to determine the total cash compensation paid to our employees included in our calculations. For employees in foreign jurisdictions, we converted amounts paid in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates we used to prepare our 2021 annual financial statements.

As of October 1, 2021, we had approximately 16,600 employees globally, with approximately 12,000 employees located in the United States and approximately 4,600 located outside the United States. Retail salespersons and distribution facility employees comprise the majority of our employees. To determine our median employee, we excluded employees located in certain foreign jurisdictions, as permitted by the SEC’s disclosure rules. The excluded jurisdictions included the countries identified below, which represented approximately 4.7% of our total employee population:


Excluded Jurisdiction		Approximate Number of Employees
Mexico		264
Republic of Korea		199
Singapore		148
Malaysia		141
Italy		28
Indonesia		6
Total Excluded Employees		786

For calculating the ratio in 2021, we determined that our estimated median employee was a part-time employee who worked on average around 15 hours per week in one of our retail stores in Canada during 2021, with total annual compensation of $10,466. Mr. Frisk’s total annual compensation in 2021 was $15,544,913. Based on this information, the ratio of the total annual compensation for Mr. Frisk to our estimated median employee was approximately 1,485 to 1.

We believe this ratio represents a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s disclosure requirements under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, which permit the use of estimates, assumptions and adjustments in connection with the identification of our median employee. Please note that due to the flexibility permitted by these rules in calculating this ratio, our ratio may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.

ADVISORY APPROVAL OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(PROPOSAL 2)

We provide stockholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as a “say on pay” proposal). This vote is on whether to approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative. For a discussion of the results of our “say on pay” proposal from our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, please see “Executive Compensation— Executive Summary—Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation.”

While this advisory vote to approve executive compensation is non-binding, the Board and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee will review the voting results and seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting result. Voting results provide little detail by themselves, and we may consult directly with stockholders to better understand issues and concerns not previously presented. The Board and management understand that it is useful and appropriate to seek the views of our stockholders when considering the design and implementation of executive compensation programs.

The Board of Directors asks you to consider the following statement: Do you approve our executive compensation as described in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures?

The approval of our executive compensation as described in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of our executive compensation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements, we have presented below transactions in which we are a party that exceeded $120,000 in 2021, and in which any of our related persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Under Armour Corporate Offices

In 2015, we entered into a lease with an entity controlled by Mr. Plank to lease industrial space located near our corporate headquarters in Baltimore, which we use as an innovation and manufacturing testing facility and for other business purposes. Given the location’s proximity to our headquarters in Baltimore City, the use of this space provided a unique opportunity for us to build a state-of-the-art facility to accommodate our innovation needs. The lease covers 68,000 square feet and has a five-year term, with payments that began in April 2016. The annual lease rate was initially approximately $0.5 million, with the annual lease rate escalating 2.5% each year. Prior to entering this lease, we received an independent market rent appraisal, based on which we determined that the lease payments were below fair market lease rates. We also determined that the property’s location and other favorable terms of the lease, such as renewal options and flexibility regarding the design of the space, provide us with overall terms that were both fair and reasonable to us and provided flexibility otherwise unavailable at alternative locations. In 2020, the Audit Committee approved an extension of this lease through June 2022, with annual lease payments of approximately $0.7 million, which continues to represent at or below fair market lease rates. This extension was executed during the first quarter of 2021. For 2021, our total lease payments were approximately $0.7 million.

Aircraft

A company owned by Mr. Plank owns a jet aircraft. We have an operating lease agreement with the company to lease the aircraft when used by Mr. Plank or other persons for our business purposes. We pay a fixed monthly lease payment of $166,667 under the terms of the lease agreement, with total payments of $2.0 million in 2021. We determined that the lease payment rate is at the fair market value lease rate for this aircraft based on a third-party appraisal. The Audit Committee determined the lease terms were reasonable and that we would benefit from using the aircraft for company business.

The Audit Committee approved the terms of each of the foregoing transactions in accordance with our policy on transactions with related persons.

Policies and Procedures for Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our Board of Directors approve any transaction involving Under Armour and a director or executive officer or entities controlled by a director or executive officer. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight and approval of these and other matters that may present conflicts of interest. The Board has adopted a formal written policy on transactions with related persons. Related persons are generally defined under SEC rules as our directors, executive officers, or stockholders owning at least five percent of our outstanding shares, or immediate family members of any of the foregoing. The policy provides that the Audit Committee shall conduct a reasonable prior review and provide oversight of all transactions with related persons where (i) the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and (ii) any related person has a direct or indirect material interest, as well as any material changes to such transactions, for potential conflicts of interest. The policy further provides that in determining whether to approve each proposed transaction, the committee may consider the following, among other factors it deems appropriate:

•

whether the terms of the transaction are reasonable and fair to Under Armour and on the same basis as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;

LOGO

•

whether the transaction would impair the independence of a non-management director; and

•

whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest, taking into account the size of the transaction, the materiality of a related person’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction, and any other factors the committee deems relevant.

Pursuant to Section 314.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the committee will prohibit a transaction with a related person if it determines such transaction to be inconsistent with the interests of Under Armour and its stockholders. To the extent our employment of an immediate family member of a director, executive officer or five percent stockholder is considered a transaction with a related person, the policy provides that the committee has determined to pre-approve such employment if the executive officer, director or five percent stockholder does not participate in decisions regarding the hiring, performance evaluation or compensation of the family member.

LOGO

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, to continue as our independent registered public accounting firm for the transition period from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. Representatives of PwC are expected to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and they will respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Fees

The fees billed by PwC for 2021 and 2020 for services rendered to Under Armour were as follows:


	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	2,638,792	$	3,357,138
Audit-Related Fees		7,360		82,360
Tax Fees		861,000		670,000
All Other Fees		7,000		6,000

Audit Fees

Audit fees are for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting, reviews of our quarterly financial statements and services normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees

When paid, audit-related fees are generally for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not included under “Audit Fees” above. For 2021, audit related fees were primarily related to assistance with financial statement preparation related to certain of the company’s subsidiaries. For 2020, audit-related fees were primarily related to our offering of convertible senior notes.

Tax Fees

When paid, tax fees are generally for tax planning and tax advice. For 2021, tax fees primarily included assistance with transfer pricing, consulting services in connection with our corporate structure and customs services. For 2020, tax fees primarily included assistance with customs services and consulting services in connection with our corporate structure.

All Other Fees

All other fees relate to a subscription to an accounting research tool.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

As set forth in the Audit Committee’s Charter, the Audit Committee approves in advance all services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including all audit and permissible non-audit services. The committee has adopted a written policy for such approvals. The policy requires that the committee specifically pre-approve the terms of the annual audit services engagement and may pre-approve, for up to one year in advance, particular types of permissible audit-related, tax and other non-audit services. The policy also provides that the services shall be described in sufficient detail as to the scope of services, fee and fee structure, and the impact on auditor

LOGO

independence. The policy states that, in exercising its pre-approval authority, the committee may consider whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as familiarity with our business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profiles and other factors, and whether the service might enhance our ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. The policy also provides that the committee be mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit services. Under the policy, the committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members and any pre-approval decisions will be reported to the full committee at its next scheduled meeting. The committee has delegated this pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The primary role of the Audit Committee is oversight of matters relating to accounting, internal control, auditing, financial reporting, risk and legal and regulatory compliance. The Audit Committee oversees the audit and other services of our independent registered public accounting firm and is directly responsible for the appointment, independence, qualifications, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, which reports directly to the Audit Committee. Our management is responsible for the financial reporting process and preparation of quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for conducting audits and reviews of our consolidated financial statements and audits of our internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements with management and with our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC.

The Audit Committee also has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above and subject to the limitations on its role and responsibilities, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the 2021 audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 to be filed with the SEC. The Board of Directors approved this recommendation.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

(PROPOSAL 3)

Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting for the transition period from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. PwC has served as our independent auditors since 2003. The services provided to us by PwC, along with the corresponding fees for 2021 and 2020, are described under the caption “Independent Auditors” in this Proxy Statement.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is not required. We are asking stockholders to ratify the appointment because we believe it is a sound corporate governance practice. If our stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will consider whether or not to retain PwC, but may still retain them.

The ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the transition period from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Our Bylaws currently provide that in order for a stockholder to nominate a candidate for election as a director at our 2023 Annual Meeting or for a stockholder to propose business for consideration at that meeting, written notice complying with the requirements of our Bylaws generally must be delivered to the Secretary of Under Armour, Inc., at the company’s principal executive office, not less than 120 days and no more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, if we delay or advance mailing notice of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by more than 30 days from the date of the first anniversary of the notice mailing for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then such stockholder notice of proposal must be delivered to the Secretary of Under Armour not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the date of mailing of the notice for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or by the tenth day following the day on which we disclose the mailing date of notice for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if that date is later).

As previously disclosed, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. Following a three month-transition period (January 1, 2022 – March 31, 2022), our fiscal year 2023 will run from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. Consequently, there will be no fiscal year 2022. Due to the change in our fiscal year end, we expect that the advance mailing notice of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will occur on June 30, 2023, which is more than 30 days delayed from the date of the first anniversary of the notice mailing for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Therefore, a stockholder nomination or proposal intended to be considered at the 2023 Annual Meeting must be received by the Secretary after January 31, 2023, and no later than March 2, 2023. If a stockholder wishes to have their proposal considered for inclusion in the 2023 Proxy Statement, the Secretary must receive it no later than March 2, 2023. In accordance with Rule 14a-8(e)(2) under the 1934 Act, this deadline provides a reasonable time for stockholders to submit proposals to us before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the date of which will be changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders due to the change in our fiscal year end.

Stockholder proposals and director nominations to be included in our Proxy Statement must comply with our Bylaws, as well as applicable SEC rules (including SEC Rule 14a-8; see also Staff Legal Bulletin 14, which may be found at www.sec.gov).

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once effective), stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than 60 calendar days prior to the date of our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or by the tenth day following the day on which we disclose the date of our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if that date is later).

Appendix A

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Proxy Statement refers to “adjusted operating income,” which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined by SEC Regulation G. We have provided below a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful in evaluating our financial information and comparing year-over-year performance, and we have incorporated this measure into certain of our executive compensation programs. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

For purposes of this Proxy Statement, we define adjusted operating income as our reported income from operations, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specified items for purposes of evaluating performance against compensation targets, including, as applicable, the impact of certain goodwill impairment charges, the impact of restructuring and other related charges, litigation related expenses, foreign exchange losses and charges related to the write-down of our accounts receivable asset due to customer bankruptcies. The following table provides a numerical reconciliation of adjusted operating income to income from operations (in millions):


	Year Ended December 31, 2021
Income from operations (GAAP)	$	486
Add: Impact of 2020 Restructuring Plan	$	41
Add: Other 2021 Adjustments	$	2

Adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP)	$	529
