Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 16, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of NIKE, Inc. adopted a new form of award agreement with respect to grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the NIKE, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. Vesting of the PSUs is subject to the achievement of performance goals that are to be specified by the Committee, and also generally subject to the participant’s continued employment or service through the scheduled vesting date. The PSUs are subject to accelerated vesting if the participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated in connection with certain divestitures or reductions in force, or as a result of the participant’s death or disability. The foregoing description of the new form of award agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
