2017-2019 EPP
.
The payout for the 2017-2019 EPP is 90% of target. For the 2017-2019 EPP, the metrics were adjusted operating margin (“EPP Operating Margin”) and relative total shareowner return (“EPP TSR”), which were chosen to drive key business goals and increase Shareowner value. Vested EPP awards are paid in Kellogg common stock. EPP Operating Margin excludes certain impacts not contemplated on the grant date; the adoption of new pension accounting rules and the consolidation of Multipro, both in 2018.
|
•
|
2019-2021 EPP
.
The C&T Committee reviews the EPP metrics annually and receives input on the metrics from FW Cook and through the Company’s Shareowner outreach program. For the 2019-2021 EPP, the metrics of organic net sales growth and relative TSR, which ties directly to the creation of Shareowner value, were maintained.

Post-Termination Compensation
. The NEOs are covered by arrangements which specify payments in the event the executive’s employment is terminated. These severance benefits, which are competitive with the Compensation Peer Group and general industry practices, are payable if and only if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause. The Kellogg Severance Benefit Plan and the Change of Control Policy have been established primarily to attract and retain talented and experienced executives and further motivate them to contribute to our short- and long-term success for the benefit of our Shareowners. Kellogg’s severance program is consistent with market practices, and cash severance for our NEOs is payable in the amount of two times the current annual salary. The Change in Control Policy is also consistent with market practices, and cash compensation following a change in control for the continuing NEOs is payable in the amount of two times the current annual salary plus two times the current target annual
|
•
|
Retirement Plans
. All NEO’s are eligible to participate in the Kellogg-provided defined contribution plan, which provides for both matching and fixed Company contributions based on employee deferrals and years of service, respectively. Prior to 2019, Mr. Hood participated in a separate Kellogg-provided defined contribution plan established for new employees of the Company due to the Pringles acquisition. The plan provided fixed Company contributions based on years of service and base salary to those salaried employees. As of December 31, 2018, benefits were no longer provided in this plan to salaried employees and covered employees began participating in the same defined contribution plans as all other salaried employees. Prior to 2019, Mr. Pilnick and Mr. Hirst were eligible to participate in Kellogg-provided defined benefit pension plans which provided benefits based on years of service and pay (salary plus annual incentive only) to a broad base of eligible employees. In September 2017, the Company amended salaried defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and Canada to freeze the compensation and service periods used to calculate benefits. As of December 31, 2018, employees covered by those plans began participating in the same defined contribution plans as all other salaried employees.

|
Perquisites
. The Company provides limited perquisites to the NEOs. The Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement contains itemized disclosure of all perquisites to our NEOs, regardless of amount.
|
•
|
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
. We have a tax-qualified employee stock purchase plan that is made available to substantially all U.S. employees, which allows participants to acquire Kellogg stock at a discounted price. The purpose of the plan is to encourage employees at all levels to purchase stock and become Shareowners. The plan allows participants to buy Kellogg stock at a 5% discount to the market price. Under applicable tax law, no plan participant may purchase more than $25,000 in market value, as defined in the plan, of Kellogg stock in any calendar year. The Board is requesting shareholder approval for an amendment to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as embodied in Proposal 4. Proposal 4 requests an increase of 1,500,000 shares available for participants to purchase. The amendment would also provide flexibility in the plan by giving the C&T Committee discretion from time to time to revise the discount to market price at which participants can buy Kellogg stock, between a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 15%. For more information on the amendment, see Proposal 4, beginning on page 69 of this proxy.

The actual EPP payout can range from 0% to 200% of the target. If the highest level of performance conditions are achieved, then the grant-date fair value of the stock awards for each NEO is as follows, Mr. Cahillane $9,048,240 and $8,954,820 for 2019 and 2018 respectively; Mr. Banati: $1,622,500 for 2019; Mr. Hood: $2,289,200,
$1,564,920
, and $1,287,744, for 2019, 2018, and 2017 respectively; Mr. Pilnick: $2,174,740, $1,970,640, and $1,636,508 for 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively; Mr. Hirst: $1,602,440 and $1,637,370 for 2019 and 2018 respectively; and Mr. Khan: $1,976,500,
$1,912

Represents the grant-date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for each NEO for stock option grants. Refer to Notes 1 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

Represents the actuarial increase during
2019
,
2018
and
2017
in the pension value provided under the U.S. Pension Plans for each NEO as we do not pay above-market or preferential earnings on non-qualified deferred compensation. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's defined benefit pension plans were frozen so that impacted employees accrue no additional benefits under these plans after December 31, 2018. The calculation of actuarial present value is generally consistent with the methodology and assumptions outlined in our audited financial statements, except that benefits are reflected as payable as of the date the executive is first entitled to full unreduced benefits (as opposed to the assumed retirement date) and without consideration of pre-retirement mortality. A variety of factors impact the actuarial increase in present value (pension value). In
2019
, the primary factors impacting the pension value is changes in age, mortality assumption, and discount rate. Mr. Cahillane, Mr. Hood, Mr. Banati, and Mr. Khan are not participants in the defined benefit pension plans. Instead, Mr. Cahillane, Mr. Hood, and Mr. Banati participate in Kellogg-provided defined contribution plans. Mr. Khan was also a participant in the defined contribution plans through June 30, 2019, his last day as our CFO.

Represents estimated possible payouts on the grant date for annual performance cash awards granted in
2019
under the
2019
AIP for each of our NEOs. The actual amount of AIP paid can range from 0% to 200% of the target. The AIP is an annual cash incentive opportunity and, therefore, these awards are earned in the year of grant. See the column captioned “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table for the actual payout amounts related to the
2019
AIP. See also “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Plans and Design — Annual Incentives” for additional information about the
2019
AIP.

The executive is entitled to receive cash compensation equal to two times base salary, paid in installments over a two-year severance period.

Previously-granted stock option and restricted stock unit awards continue to vest during the severance period. All awards not vested or earned after the two-year period are forfeited. EPP awards do not vest under the terms of the plan unless the executive is eligible to retire at the time of termination. Where the executive is eligible to retire at the time of termination, EPP awards vest pro-rata based on the number of days in the performance period the executive was actively employed.
|
•
|
The executive is entitled to continue to participate in certain welfare and insurance benefits during the severance period. However, executives do not earn any additional service credit during the severance period and severance payments are not eligible compensation for any retirement plan.
|
•
|
The executive is entitled to receive outplacement assistance for 12 months following termination.

Information regarding Mr. Cahillane, Mr. Banati and Mr. Pilnick is not presented in this table because these individuals were not retirement-eligible as of December 28, 2019. Information for Mr. Hood and Mr. Hirst is hypothetical and based upon retirement as of December 28, 2019.

If an NEO becomes entitled to separation benefits following a change of control and those separation benefits would otherwise be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the separation benefits will be reduced to $1.00 less than the amount which would trigger the excise tax if such reduction would result in the NEO receiving an equal or greater after-tax benefit than the NEO would have received if the full separation benefits were paid. This column represents the estimated amount of pay reduction to put the NEO in this position. The estimated values in this column were developed based on the provisions of Section 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The actual amount, if any, of the pay reduction will depend upon the NEO’s pay, terms of a change of control transaction and the subsequent impact on the executive’s employment.

Represents the value based on the actual number of shares paid out under the 2017-2019 EPP, which would be payable at our discretion, and a stock price of $69.16.

Since our other NEOs are not retirement-eligible as of December 28, 2019, their 2018-2020 EPP and 2019-2021 EPP awards would be forfeited.

Purpose
. Kellogg Company (the “Company”) has established this Amended and Restated 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) to encourage and enable its eligible employees and the eligible employees of its Subsidiaries to acquire the Company’s Common Stock, and to align more closely the interests of those individuals and the Company’s shareowners. The Company intends that the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan was originally adopted by the Board on December 6, 2001, to be effective July 1, 2002, and was approved by the Company’s shareowners on April 26, 2002 (the “2002 Plan”). The plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008. The following provisions constitute an amendment and restatement of the Plan effective as of July 1, 2020, subject to approval by the Company’s shareowners at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of shareowners.
