74 Starbucks Corporation 2014 Form 10-K
Deferred Stock Plans
Our 1997 Deferred Stock Plan for certain key-employees enabled participants in the plan to defer receipt of ownership of
common shares from the exercise of nonqualified stock options. Pursuant to this plan, our chairman, president and ceo elected
to defer receipt of approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock (as adjusted for stock splits since 1997). In November
2006, he re-deferred receipt of the shares until December 21, 2012 (or earlier if his employment with Starbucks terminated
before such date). On December 21, 2012, the deferral period ended and pursuant to the terms of the plan, we issued
approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock to him and withheld approximately 1.2 million shares to satisfy tax
withholdings. As of September 28, 2014 there were no remaining deferrals under the terms of this plan and no new deferrals are
permitted.
We have a Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors under which non-employee directors may, for any fiscal
year, irrevocably elect to defer receipt of shares of common stock the director would have received upon vesting of restricted
stock units. The number of deferred shares outstanding related to deferrals made under this plan is not material.
Defined Contribution Plans
We maintain voluntary defined contribution plans, both qualified and non-qualified, covering eligible employees as defined in
the plan documents. Participating employees may elect to defer and contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the
plans up to limits stated in the plan documents, not to exceed the dollar amounts set by applicable laws.
Our matching contributions to all US and non-US plans were $73.0 million, $54.7 million, and $59.8 million in fiscal years
2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
