2016 Performance Share Award Agreement. At a meeting held on December 5, 2016, the Compensation Committee of Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the 2016 Performance Share Award Agreements entered into on February 22, 2016 under the 2013 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Existing Agreements”), a form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2016, in order to correct a scrivener’s error in the benefit formula set forth therein. In particular, the calculation of the annual target number of performance shares was changed from 0.5 times the aggregate target number of performance shares set forth in the grant notice to 1/3 times the aggregate target number of performance shares. A form of the corrected 2016 Performance Share Award Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K. All performance share award holders who are parties to the Existing Agreements executed consent letters agreeing to such correction.
