2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), the terms of the Grant Notice to which this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is attached (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), CBRE Group, Inc. (the “Company,” and together with its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, the “Company Group”) grants you that number of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”) as set forth in the Grant Notice as of the date specified in the Grant Notice (“Grant Date”). Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

The details of your Award are as follows:

1. THE AWARD. The Company hereby awards to you the aggregate number of Units specified in your Grant Notice. Each Unit is the right to receive one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Shares”) on the Vesting Date (as defined below). The Units and the Shares are awarded to you in consideration for your continued service to the Company or the Company Group.

2. DOCUMENTATION. As a condition to the award of the Units and the Shares, you agree to execute the Grant Notice and to deliver the same to the Company (including through electronic means), along with such additional documents as the Committee may require, within the time period prescribed by the Company or else this Award shall be forfeited without consideration. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and the Award by electronic means or request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting the Award, you consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

3. CONSIDERATION FOR THE AWARD. No cash payment is required for the Units or the Shares, although you may be required to tender payment in cash or other acceptable form of consideration for the amount of any withholding taxes due as a result of delivery of the Shares.

4. VESTING. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement and the Plan, the Units will vest as provided in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Date”). Any Units which have not vested as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company, except as otherwise directed by the Committee; provided, that:

(a) If your Continuous Service terminates due to your death or Disability after the Vesting Commencement Date, the following number of unvested Units automatically will become vested:

 

Grant Date:                 1   


(i) If such termination occurs within 12 months following the Vesting Commencement Date, the number of unvested Units that will become vested will be equal to (x) the number of days that have elapsed from the Vesting Commencement Date through the date of your termination of Continuous Service divided by 365, multiplied by (y) the number of Units subject to your Award, rounded down to the nearest whole Unit, and such vesting will occur as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service (and such date will be deemed to be the “Vesting Date” for purposes of such Units); or

(ii) If such termination occurs more than 12 months following the Vesting Commencement Date, the number of unvested Units that will become vested will be equal to all of the unvested Units subject to your Award, and such vesting will occur as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service (and such date will be deemed to be the “Vesting Date” for purposes of such Units).

The Award will immediately terminate following such vesting and the issuance of Shares pursuant to Section 6 below.

(b) If, after the Vesting Commencement Date, (1) your Continuous Service terminates due to your Retirement (as defined below), and (2) (x) after such termination through the applicable Vesting Date you have at all times satisfied certain noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality conditions imposed by the Company (in its sole discretion) upon or promptly following such termination and (y) you provide the Company with a certification (in a form acceptable to the Company) that you have satisfied all such conditions during such period, the following number of unvested Units will continue to vest as provided in the Grant Notice:

(i) If such termination occurs within 12 months following the Vesting Commencement Date, the number of unvested Units that will continue to vest as provided in the Grant Notice will be equal to (x) the number of days that have elapsed from the Vesting Commencement Date through the date of your termination of Continuous Service divided by 365, multiplied by (y) the number of Units subject to your Award, rounded down to the nearest whole Unit; or

(ii) If such termination occurs more than 12 months following the Vesting Commencement Date, the number of unvested Units that will continue to vest as provided in the Grant Notice will be equal to all of the unvested Units subject to your Award.

(c) For purposes of the Award, “Retirement” means your voluntary termination following:

(i) completion of at least ten years of Continuous Service, and

(ii) (A) for U.S. Participants, your attainment of age 62, or (B) for non-U.S. Participants, your attainment of age 62 or such other age as required to qualify for Retirement under applicable law, or an applicable retirement plan or policy. If you are eligible to qualify for Retirement under this subsection, you must provide evidence to that effect to the Company (in a form acceptable to the Company) on or before your termination date.

 

Grant Date:                 2   


With respect to the vesting of this Award, the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply and supersede the terms of any other plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company or the Company Group or any other agreement between you and the Company or the Company Group.

5. NUMBER OF SHARES AND PURCHASE PRICE. The number of Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan.

6. ISSUANCE AND CERTIFICATES; CODE SECTION 409A. The Company will deliver to you a number of Shares equal to the number of vested Units subject to your Award, including any additional Units received pursuant to Section 5 above that relate to such vested Units, as soon as reasonably practicable after the applicable Vesting Date, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurs. However, if a scheduled delivery date falls on a date that is not a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) you are subject to the Company’s policy permitting officers and directors to sell Shares only during certain “window periods,” as in effect from time to time (the “Policy”), or you are otherwise prohibited from selling Shares in the open market, and any Shares subject to your Award are scheduled to be delivered on a day (the “Original Distribution Date”) that does not occur during an open “window period” applicable to you or a day on which you are permitted to sell Shares pursuant to a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Policy, or does not occur on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell Shares in the open market, and (ii) the Company elects not to satisfy its tax withholding obligations by withholding Shares from your distribution, then such Shares shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open “window period” applicable to you pursuant to the Policy (regardless of whether you are still providing Continuous Service at such time) or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling Shares in the open market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurs.

There are no certificates evidencing the Units. Certificates evidencing the Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement may be issued by the Company and registered in your name.

7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. The Units are non-transferable. Shares that are received under your Award are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Plan and any transfer restrictions that may be described in the Company’s bylaws or charter or insider trading policies in effect at the time of the contemplated transfer.

8. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. A Unit (i) does not represent an equity interest in the Company, and (ii) carries no voting, dividend or dividend equivalent rights. You will not have an equity interest in the Company or any of such shareholder rights, unless and until the Shares are delivered to you in accordance with this Agreement.

 

Grant Date:                 3   


9. SECURITIES LAWS. Upon the delivery of the Shares, you will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, unless there is an available exemption from such registration, qualification or other legal requirements, Units may not be converted into Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Units or the Shares that is required to comply with applicable state and federal securities or any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange or compliance with any other applicable federal, state or foreign law that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine in good faith to be necessary or advisable.

10. LEGENDS ON CERTIFICATES. The certificates representing the Shares delivered to you as contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

11. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT AND NO ENTITLEMENT TO FUTURE GRANTS. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation or right to continued employment or service with or to the Company Group. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company, its stockholders, its Board or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a member of the Board, as an employee or as any other type of service provider for the Company. You acknowledge and agree that this Award was granted in the Committee’s discretion and that neither the grant of this Award nor the issuance of any Shares pursuant to this Award creates any entitlement to or expectation of any future grant of Units or any future benefits in lieu of Units.

12. TAX CONSEQUENCES. You are responsible for any taxes due in connection with your receipt of this Award, including the vesting of such Award and delivery of Shares, and for declaring the Award to the relevant tax authority to which you are subject, if required.

13. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations, if any, from payroll and any other amounts payable to you (or, in the Company’s discretion, from Shares that become deliverable upon vesting under this Award), and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the grant of or vesting of your Award or the delivery of Shares under the Award.

(b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares or release such Shares.

 

Grant Date:                 4

16. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations that may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any other document, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

17. DATA PRIVACY CONSENT. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award Documents (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Company, Company Group, and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Company and the Company Group may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in Company or Company Group, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Grant Date:                 5   


Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Company or Company Group will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Awards or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.

Grant Date:                 7   


You also understand that providing the Company with Data is necessary to effectuate your participation in the Plan and that your refusal to do so would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. The controllers of Data processing are CBRE Group, Inc. with registered offices at 400 South Hope Street, 25th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 and CBRE S.p.A. with its registered offices at Via del Lauro, 5/7 20121, Milan, Italy which is also the Company’s representative in Italy for privacy purposes pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 192/2003.

You understand that Data will not be publicized, but it may be accessible by the Employer as the privacy representative of the Company and within the Employer’s organization by its internal and external personnel in charge of processing such Data and the data processor (“Processors”). An updated list of Processors and other transferees of Data is available upon request from the Employer.

Furthermore, Data may be transferred to banks, other financial institutions, or brokers involved in the management and administration of the Plan. You understand that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s stock plan service provider, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or such other administrator that may be engaged by the Company in the future. You further understand that the Company and/or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of the implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan. The Data recipients may receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering, and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that these recipients may be acting as controllers, Processors or persons in charge of processing, as the case may be, according to applicable privacy laws, and that they may be located in or outside the European Economic Area, such as in the United States or elsewhere, in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as intended under Italian privacy law. Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending or terminating the Plan, it will delete Data as soon as it has accomplished all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan.

You understand that Data processing for the purposes specified in the Agreement shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, and with confidentiality and security provisions, as set forth by applicable laws, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.

The processing activity, including the transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as specified in the Agreement does not require your consent thereto as the processing is necessary for the performance of legal and contractual obligations related to implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that, pursuant to section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, you have the right at any moment to, without limitation, obtain information on Data held, access and verify its contents, origin and accuracy, delete, update, integrate, correct, block or stop, for legitimate reason, the Data processing by contacting your local human resources representative. Finally, you are aware that Data will not be used for direct marketing purposes.

SPAIN

Labor Law Acknowledgment. The following provision supplements the Nature of Grant section in Appendix A:

By accepting the Award, you acknowledge that you understand and agree that you consent to participation in the Plan and that you have received a copy of the Plan.

You further understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate throughout the world. The decision to grant the Awards is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate on an ongoing basis other than as set forth in this Agreement. Consequently, you understand that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Shares is unknown and unpredictable.

Additionally, you understand that the vesting and settlement of the Award is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service to the Employer such that if your Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than as expressly provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, your Award will cease vesting immediately effective as of the date of termination of your Continuous Service. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate Continuous Service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate Continuous Service due to the Company’s or any Parent’s, Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s unilateral breach of contract; or (5) your Continuous Service terminates for any other reason whatsoever, in each case other than as expressly provided in Section 4 of the Agreement. Consequently, upon termination of your Continuous Service for any of the above reasons, you will automatically lose any rights to Awards granted to you that were unvested on the date of termination of your Continuous Service, as described in the Agreement.

Finally, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of an Award shall be null and void.

Securities Law Notice. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the offer of the Award. The Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Award (a) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, (b) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland or (c) has been or will be filed with, approved by or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (e.g., the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority).

UNITED KINGDOM

Tax Acknowledgment. The following provisions supplement Section 13 of the Agreement as further supplemented by the Responsibility for Taxes section in Appendix A:

If withholding of income taxes by the Company and/or the Employer is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year (April 6 - April 5) in which such event giving rise to the income tax liability occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), you understand and agree that the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. You understand and agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that if you are a director or an executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, you understand that the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand and agree that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means referred to in the Plan or the Agreement.
