More Than Half Of The Total Planned 2016 Compensation Will Be Deferred Until 2020 For The Six Named Executive Officers

Alain Bellemare, Bombardier's Chief Executive Officer, has requested that the Bombardier Board of Directors defer the payment of more than half of the total planned 2016 compensation for its six named executive officers until 2020.

"Bombardier is extremely proud of its Québec heritage. We are, and will always be, extremely grateful for Québec's and Canada's strong support over many years. With this support, we are competing and winning in the global market with world-class planes and trains designed and built here at home," Bellemare said in a prepared statement released to the media.

"Over the past seventy-five years, our fellow citizens have always been by our side. It is because of this deep relationship that we are sensitive to the public reaction to our executive compensation practices.

"To address these concerns, I've asked our Board of Directors to defer the payment of more than 50% of the total planned 2016 executive compensation for our six named executive officers to 2020. This compensation will only be payable if we achieve our performance objectives; delivering value to all our shareholders, including the people of Québec and Canada.

"This action further demonstrates the long-term commitment of the senior executive team to the successful transformation of Bombardier."
