Bernard R. Colpitts, Jr.

Subject: Offer Letter – Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer
 
Dear Bernard,
 
Congratulations! I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer at GameStop, effective October 28, 2019. In your new position, your starting annualized salary will be $375,000.00 per year ($14,423.08 bi-weekly pay period), less applicable taxes.
 
You will be eligible for an annual bonus targeted at 60% of your base salary. Such participation is subject to the terms of the company’s short-term incentive program and certain performance metrics. A bonus, if any, will be pro-rated based on your time in position for fiscal year 2019, which runs from February 2019 through January 2020.

You will be eligible to participate in the Company's long-term incentive (LTI) program and will receive future grants, appropriate to your organizational level, beginning when the Compensation Committee next elects to issue any such grant. Grants at your level have typically targeted a value of $300,000 and are comprised of 50% cash and 50% stock, in each case vesting over a three-year period. However, the terms of any future awards will be determined by our Compensation Committee. Given the current practice and targeted value, here is an example of how LTI awards at this level pay out over the next three years:
 
•
March 2021 - $100,000 vesting ($50,000 in Restricted Stock Shares and $50,000 cash)
•
March 2022 - $200,000 vesting ($100,000 in Restricted Stock Shares and $100,000 cash)
•
March 2023 - $300,000 vesting ($150,000 in Restricted Stock Shares and $150,000 cash)
 
Based on your organization level and hire date, you also qualify for a pro-rated LTI award of $100,000, less applicable taxes, which will pay out one-third each year over a three-year vesting schedule on the terms described below:

•
March 2020 - $33,333 cash vesting
•
March 2021 - $33,333 cash vesting
•
March 2022 - $33,334 cash vesting

GameStop’s bonus and long-term incentive programs are based on company performance and are subject to change at any time, at the Company’s discretion, based upon the results and needs of the business.
