Share Ownership Guidelines. Each of our non-employee directors is expected to hold shares equal to 4x the
annual director retainer (i.e., $140,000). The share ownership levels may be satisfied through direct share ownership
and/or by holding unvested time-based RSUs and vested “in the money” stock options. Non-employee directors
have five years from their appointment to Board to achieve their expected ownership level. If in a shortfall position,
(i) a non-employee director may not sell Pep Boys Stock and (ii) all net after-tax shares acquired upon the exercise
of stock options must be retained. All of our non-employee directors are currently in compliance with our share
ownership guidelines.
