Criteria for Nomination to the Board

The goal of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company is to assemble a Board that offers a diverse portfolio of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, knowledge and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of directors in the context of the current composition of the Board, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders.

The key attributes, experience and skills we consider important for our directors in light of our current business and structure are:

· Industry and Technology Expertise. As a security and technology company, understanding new technologies and emerging industry trends or having experience in security and related technologies is useful in understanding our business and the market segments in which we compete, our research and development efforts, competing technologies, the various products and processes that we develop and evolving customer requirements.

· Global Expertise. We are a global organization with employees, offices, customers and partners in many countries. Directors with global operating expertise and an understanding of global economic and regulatory frameworks, can provide a useful business and cultural perspective regarding many significant aspects of our business.

· Leadership Experience. Directors who have served in a senior leadership position, as a general manager of a business, or as the functional leader of a global sales, marketing or product development organization, are important to us, because they bring experience and perspective in analyzing, shaping and overseeing the execution of important strategic, operational and policy issues at a senior level.

· Public Company Board Experience. Directors who have served on other public company boards can offer advice and insights with regard to the dynamics and operation of a board of directors, the relations of a board to the company’s chief executive officer and other senior management personnel, the importance of public-company corporate governance, including oversight matters, strategic decisions and operational and compliance-related matters.

· Business Combinations and Partnerships Experience. Directors who have a background in mergers and acquisitions and strategic partnership transactions can provide insight into developing and implementing strategies for growing our business through combining and/or partnering with other organizations and helping to evaluate operational integration plans.

· Financial Expertise. Knowledge of financial markets, financing operations, complex financial management and accounting and financial reporting processes is important because it assists our directors in understanding, advising, and overseeing Symantec’s capital structure, financing and investing activities, financial reporting and internal control of such activities.

· Diversity. In addition to a diverse portfolio of professional background, experiences, knowledge and skills, the composition of the Board should reflect the benefits of diversity as to gender, race, ethnic, cultural and geographic backgrounds that reflect the composition of our global investors, customers, employees and partners.

In addition to the brief biographical descriptions set forth under “Our Board of Directors” below, we include under “Director Qualifications” the key individual attributes, experience and skills of each of our directors that led to the conclusion that each director should serve as a member of the Board at this time.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16 of the Exchange Act requires Symantec’s directors, executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of Symantec’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish Symantec with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished to Symantec and written representations from the directors and executive officers, Symantec believes that all of our executive officers and directors filed the required reports on a timely basis under Section 16(a), except for Mr. Schulman who did not timely report on a Form 4, the distribution of shares held by DHS 2017 Annuity Trust Agreement II (for which Mr. Schulman exercises voting and dispositive power) to his individual account on April 19, 2018. This transaction reported on a Form 5 that was filed on May 10, 2019.

Our Compensation Philosophy and Practices

Compensation Policies and Practices

	What We Do**:**			What We Do Not Do**:**
	The majority of pay for our CEO and other NEOs is at risk.			We do not pay performance-based cash or equity awards for unsatisfied performance goals.
	We provide that short-term incentive compensation is linked directly to our financial results and also takes into account individual performance.			Our compensation plans do not have minimum guaranteed payout levels.
	We reward performance that meets our predetermined goals.			We do not provide for automatic salary increases or equity awards grants in offer letters or employment agreements.
	We cap payouts under our plans to discourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our NEOs.			We generally do not permit short-sales, hedging or pledging of our stock.
	We have a relevant peer group and reevaluate the peer group annually.		![](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/

Symantec has adopted a policy that executive officers and members of the Board hold an equity stake in the Company. The policy requires each executive officer to hold a minimum number of shares of Symantec common stock. Newly appointed executive officers are not required to immediately establish their position but are expected to make regular progress to achieve it. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the minimum number of shares held by the executive officers and directors from time to time. The purpose of the policy is to more directly align the interests of our executive officers and directors with our stockholders. See “Stock Ownership Requirements” under the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section for a description of the stock ownership requirements applicable to our executive officers.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table gives information about Symantec’s common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and rights under all of Symantec’s existing equity compensation plans as of March 29, 2019:

(1) 21,941,509 shares issuable upon settlement of RSUs and PRUs (at 100% of target) under the 2013 Plan.

The weighted average exercise price of these outstanding options was $7.94 as of March 29, 2019. In connection with these acquisitions, Symantec has only assumed outstanding options and rights, but not the plan themselves, and therefore, no further options may be granted under these acquired-company plans.

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedure

Symantec has adopted a written related person transactions policy which provides for the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related person transactions.” The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews transactions that may be “related person transactions,” which are transactions between Symantec and any related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000, and in which the related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of the policy, a related person is any Symantec executive officer, director, nominee for director, or stockholder holding more than 5% of any class of Symantec’s voting securities, in each case, since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, and their immediate family members.

Under the policy, absent any facts or circumstances indicating special or unusual benefits to the related person, the following transactions are deemed not to be “related person transactions” (meaning the related person is deemed to not have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction):

· compensation to executive officers determined by Symantec’s Compensation Committee;

· any transaction with another company at which a related person is a director or an employee (other than an executive officer) if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $2,000,000, or three percent of that company’s total annual gross revenues, provided that the transaction involves the purchase of either company’s goods and services and the transaction is subject to usual trade terms and is in the ordinary course of business and the related person is not involved in the negotiation of the transaction;

· any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in Symantec’s proxy statement;

· any transaction where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company’s common stock and all holders of the Company’s common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis;

· any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by Symantec or the Symantec Foundation to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related person’s only relationship is as a director or an employee (other than an executive officer), if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed $120,000, or any non-discretionary matching contribution, grant or endowment made pursuant to a matching gift program;

· any transaction where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids;

· any transaction involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority; or

· any transaction involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services.

Under the policy, members of Symantec’s legal department review transactions involving related persons that do not fall into one of the above categories. If they determine that a related person could have a significant interest in a transaction, the transaction is referred to the Nominating and Governance Committee. In addition, transactions may be identified through Symantec’s Code of Conduct or other Symantec policies and procedures, and reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee determines whether the related person has a material interest in a transaction and may approve, ratify, rescind or take other action with respect to the transaction.

Certain Related Person Transactions

Investments by Firms Affiliated with our Directors

On February 3, 2016, Symantec entered into an investment agreement with investment entities affiliated with Silver Lake, a private equity firm, relating to the issuance to Silver Lake of $500 million principal amount of 2.5% convertible unsecured notes, due in 2021. In connection with the investment, Kenneth Y. Hao, a managing partner and managing director of Silver Lake, was appointed to our Board.

On June 12, 2016, Symantec entered into an investment agreement with investment entities affiliated with Silver Lake and Bain Capital relating to the issuance of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.0% convertible unsecured notes due in 2021. Pursuant to the investment agreement, Silver Lake has agreed to purchase $500 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, and Bain Capital, private equity firm of which David W. Humphrey is a managing director, has agreed to purchase $750 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The transactions contemplated by this

investment agreement closed concurrently with the closing of the Blue Coat acquisition on August 1, 2016. In connection with the investment, Mr. Humphrey was appointed to our Board.

The 2.5% convertible unsecured notes, due in 2021 (the “2.5% Notes”), bear interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum. The 2.0% convertible unsecured notes, due in 2021 (the “2.0% Notes” and, together with the 2.5% Notes, collectively, the “Notes”), bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in cash under the Notes. The initial conversion rate for the 2.5% Notes was 59.6341 shares of our common stock, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.5% Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.77 per share of common stock. The initial conversion rate for the 2.0% Notes was 48.9860 shares of our common stock, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.0% Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.41 per share of common stock. The conversion rates under the Notes are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for the Notes.

As of March 30, 2018, $1.75 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Notes was outstanding. During FY18, we paid an aggregate of $37.5 million in interest on the Notes.

Symantec also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which holders of the Notes have certain registration rights with respect to the Notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Reinvestment Agreements with our Executive Officers

On June 12, 2016, we entered into reinvestment agreements with our former CEO Mr. Clark and GSC-OZ Investment LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Clark, pursuant to which the parties agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,329,520 shares our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $40,300,696. On August 1, 2016, we issued and sold these shares to Mr. Clark and GSC-OZ Investment LLC.

On June 12, 2016, we entered into a reinvestment agreement with each of Mr. Fey, our former President and COO, and Mr. Noviello, our former CFO, pursuant to which each of Mr. Fey and Mr. Noviello agreed not to transfer certain shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of options held by Mr. Fey and Mr. Noviello. On August 1, 2017 these shares were released from transfer restrictions when our common stock achieved the specified volume weighted average trading price over a defined period as set forth in the agreements.

Transactions with Starboard Value LP

In September 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) regarding, among other things, the membership and composition of the Board and committees thereof (the “Starboard Agreement”). Under the terms of the Starboard Agreement, the Company appointed Peter A. Feld and Dale L. Fuller to serve on the Board and agreed to nominate them for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Starboard Agreement also provided that Robert S. Miller and Geraldine B. Laybourne would not stand for re-election as directors at the Annual Meeting and that, within 30 days after the Annual Meeting, the Company would appoint Richard S. “Rick” Hill to the Board and an additional director to the Board who would be selected by the then-appointed Board from a list of candidates mutually agreed by the Company and Starboard pursuant to the procedures described in the Starboard Agreement. On January 7, 2019, the Board appointed Mr. Hill and Sue Barsamian to the Board in accordance with this provision. With respect to the Annual Meeting, Starboard has agreed to, among other things, vote all shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Starboard in favor of the Company’s director nominees and, subject to certain conditions, vote in accordance with the Board’s recommendations on all other proposals.

Pursuant to the Starboard Agreement, if at any time Starboard beneficially owns less than 3.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock (the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), Mr. Feld (or, if Mr. Feld is no longer serving on the Board, the substitute Starboard employee director who replaced Mr. Feld) will immediately resign from the Board. Furthermore, until the earlier of (x) 15 business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2019 Annual Meeting and (y) 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting, for so long as Starboard satisfies the Minimum Ownership Threshold, Starboard also has certain additional rights to recommend or select substitute directors as provided in the Starboard Agreement.

Aircraft Lease Agreement

On November 9, 2017, the Company and Mr. Clark, our former CEO, entered into an Aircraft Lease Agreement (the “Aircraft Lease Agreement”) for the occasional lease by the Company of an aircraft owned by Mr. Clark. Under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, the Company will reimburse Mr. Clark for business travel on his aircraft at a rate of $2,500 per flight hour plus additional operating costs. The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors approved the Aircraft Lease Agreement after completing a competitive analysis of comparable chartered aircraft rates, which showed that the reimbursement rate is at or below market rates for the charter of similar aircraft. The Nominating and Governance

Committee during FY18 also adopted a Company-wide Aircraft Usage Policy, which governs the approved business usage of corporate aircraft, including Mr. Clark’s, and set an annual cap on the amount of expenses to be incurred by the Company under the policy at two million dollars. During FY19, we incurred approximately $2 million in fees for the aircraft owned by Mr. Clark. Please see “Executive Compensation and Related Information — Summary Compensation Table” on page 42 for more information.

Board Independence

It is the policy of the Board and NASDAQ’s rules require that listed companies have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors, as defined under NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules. Currently, each member of our Board, other than our interim Chief Executive Officer, Richard S. Hill, is an independent director, and all standing committees of the Board are composed entirely of independent directors, in each case under NASDAQ’s independence definition. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company. In addition, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and our company with regard to each director’s business and other activities as they may relate to Symantec and our management. Based on this review and consistent with our independence criteria, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following current directors are independent: Sue Barsamian, Frank E. Dangeard, Peter A. Feld, Dale L. Fuller, Kenneth Y. Hao, David W. Humphrey, David L. Mahoney, Anita M. Sands, Daniel H. Schulman, V. Paul Unruh and Suzanne M. Vautrinot.

We regularly review the services and fees from our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”). These services and fees are also reviewed with the Audit Committee annually. In accordance with standard policy, KPMG periodically rotates the individuals who are responsible for Symantec’s audit. Symantec’s Audit Committee has determined that the providing of certain non-audit services, as described below, is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.

In addition to performing the audit of Symantec’s consolidated financial statements, KPMG provided various other services during FY19 and FY18. Symantec’s Audit Committee has determined that KPMG’s provisioning of these services, which are described below, does not impair KPMG’s independence from Symantec. The aggregate fees billed for FY19 and FY18 for each of the following categories of services are as follows:

The categories in the above table have the definitions assigned under Item 9 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, and these categories include in particular the following components:

(1) “Audit fees” include fees for audit services principally related to the year-end examination and the quarterly reviews of our consolidated financial statements, consultation on matters that arise during a review or audit, review of SEC filings, audit services performed in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures and statutory audit fees.

(2) “Audit related fees” include fees which are for assurance and related services other than those included in Audit fees.

(3) “Tax fees” include fees for tax compliance and advice.

(4) “All other fees” include fees for all other non-audit services, principally for services in relation to certain information technology audits.

An accounting firm other than KPMG performs supplemental internal audit services for Symantec. Another accounting firm provides the majority of Symantec’s outside tax services.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by the Audit Committee.
