(3) B oth Mr. Fish and Mr. Trotter retired from the Board effective as of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS In order to align the financial interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders, we require that our directors maintain a specified level of stock ownership equal to eight times the portion of their annual retainer payable in cash. Toward this end, prior to 2020 we required all non-employee directors to defer a minimum of $135,000 of their annual retainer into the stock unit account of the Directors’ Deferred Income Plan and, in 2020, we issued RSUs to directors valued at $145,000. All directors currently meet the stock ownership requirement, which allows them to achieve the required level of ownership over time in the case of directors who have more recently joined the Board. We also have a stock retention policy restricting non-employee directors from transferring the Restricted Shares or the stock units credited under the Directors’ Deferred Income Plan while they serve on the Board. To the extent that directors do not defer settlement of their RSUs, they may not sell shares of common stock received upon vesting of RSUs unless the stock ownership requirement has been met. ANTI-HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICY Our directors are prohibited from (i) pledging Textron securities as collateral for any loan or holding Textron securities in a margin account or (ii) engaging in short sales of Textron securities or transactions in publicly-traded options or derivative securities based on Textron’s securities.
