On behalf of Ball Corporation's Board of Directors, we are pleased to highlight a few of the company's accomplishments and prospects outlined in detail in the attached 2020 Proxy Statement. As a Board, we truly believe that Ball is in a transformative period of growth, which we will leverage to build an even stronger platform for future success.

This year's Proxy Statement is substantially revised and reformatted to facilitate your review of key areas of significance for Ball Corporation, including our 2019 financial performance; Environmental, Social and Governance accomplishments; and recent awards and recognitions. As we enter our 140th year as a company and our tenth year of Drive for 10, we are proud to highlight our leadership in the packaging and aerospace industries, as well as in key initiatives such as sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and company engagement. Please also note that over the past six years, we have used the retirements of several Board members to reconstitute our Board of Directors with members representing race, gender, age, nationality and experiential diversity, so that our board more closely resembles the world and business environment in which we operate.

For over 25 years, Ball Corporation's compensation programs have been strongly aligned with the execution of our business strategy and the interests of our shareholders. In particular, we have continued to tie a significant part of our executive compensation to our EVA® discipline. As you review the compensation discussion and analysis included in the Proxy Statement, you will also note that our Named Executive Officer compensation is strongly linked to our pay-for-performance philosophy, with 74% of the NEO target compensation at risk in 2019.

In summary, while we will always remain true to our core values of integrity, behaving like owners, attention to detail and innovation, we have also brought great focus to repositioning Ball Corporation and each of its businesses for long-term success, as detailed in our 2020 Annual Report which is distributed to you concurrently. We look forward to delivering diluted earnings per share growth of 10 to 15 percent per year over time, increasing EVA® dollars generated on a growing capital base, becoming the sustainability leader in all our businesses, and successfully executing on our disciplined capital allocation strategy.

Thank you for your investment in Ball Corporation and for this opportunity to reflect on our recent accomplishments, our exciting future, and why we are so proud to be members of the Ball Corporation team.

COMPANY SUSTAINABILITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION AND COMPANY ENGAGEMENT



		OUR COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

At Ball Corporation, we believe in our people, our culture and our ability to deliver value to our stakeholders. Like uncompromising integrity and customer focus, sustainability is part of our Drive for 10 vision and has been a part of who we are since our founding in 1880.

Our triple bottom-line approach to sustainability—environmental, economic and social—has evolved over the years and is the lens through which we conduct business at every level of our organization today. Sustainability is a key part of our business strategy, and influences how we manage and operate our businesses, serve our customers, care for the environment and our communities, secure profits and drive long-term prosperity.

We focus our sustainability efforts on a variety of initiatives including product stewardship, operational excellence, human capital management EVA® generation and community engagement. In our manufacturing operations around the world, we work on continuous improvement of employee safety and engagement, energy and water efficiency, reducing air emissions, and waste reduction and recycling. And our commitment extends outside of our walls.

Today's consumers are acutely aware of the plastic pollution crisis, and they are choosing brands based on sustainability. Customers understand this growing concern for the environment and their unique position in impacting the environment, for better or worse, especially through the packaging materials they use. Infinitely recyclable and economically valuable, aluminum unlocks the full potential of packaging to help customers convey values and purpose to consumers.

Aluminum cans, bottles and now cups are an increasingly attractive option for sustainability-conscious brands and consumers who want to do the right thing for the environment. Unlike plastic, glass, cartons or compostable containers, aluminum can be recycled again and again without losing quality, and is in high demand across industries and applications, pushing its collection, sorting and recycling rates to the highest of any material. That's why 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.

In 2017, Resource Recycling Systems recognized aluminum beverage cans as the most recycled beverage package in the world, with a global average recycling rate of 69%. In comparison, only 43% of PET and 46% of glass bottles were collected, although not necessarily recycled. These findings solidify aluminum beverage packaging as the leader in real recycling, where the package is collected and then transformed into an item of equal value (product-to-product or material-to-material recycling). In the case of aluminum beverage packaging, which is monomaterial, a can, bottle or cup can be recycled and made back into the same product in as little as 60 days. Plastic beverage containers, on the other hand, are typically down cycled into lower-value products such as carpet, railroad ties, plastic lumber, etc., which will eventually end up in a landfill.

Because recycling aluminum saves resources and uses significantly less energy than primary aluminum production, we are innovating and collaborating with our customers, supply chain, and other public and private partners to establish and financially support initiatives to increase recycling rates. As two examples, we work together to create effective collection and recycling systems and educate consumers about the sustainability benefits of aluminum packaging.

Our aerospace business plays a role in sustainability as well. More and more, our systems are measuring key elements of the physical environment and supporting environmental monitoring and operational weather forecasting programs, as well as providing environmental intelligence on weather, the Earth's climate system, precipitation, drought, air pollution, vegetation and biodiversity measurements.

The data captured through Ball-built instruments and satellites enable an enhanced understanding of the Earth's ecosystem and the stratospheric ozone layer and severe storm tracking, and better enabling effective management of natural resources, including helping experts to make routine drought assessments and fire prevention plans.

At Ball, our sustained long-term success depends not only on our products and our operations, but on an engaged and sustainable workforce. We continue to invest in talent recruitment and development to ensure we have the right people with the right skills in the right roles, and providing our employees with opportunities to advance their careers. We also are committed to embracing diversity and providing an inclusive environment where employees can thrive. A focus on diversity among individuals and teams helps to unleash ideas and fuel innovation, which drives growth and economic value throughout our global organization.

A healthy and sustainable business also depends on thriving communities. Ball's commitment to the

communities where we live and operate is an integral part of our corporate culture, as we continue to support organizations, programs and civic initiatives that advance sustainable livelihoods. Community engagement is how our company and our employees enrich the places where we live and work beyond providing jobs, benefits and paying local taxes. Through the Ball Foundation, corporate giving, employee giving and volunteerism, we invest in the future of the communities that sustain us. In 2018, Ball and its employees donated nearly $5.5 million and logged more than 42,000 hours of volunteer service to non-profit organizations centered on building sustainable communities through recycling, STEM education, and disaster preparedness and relief initiatives.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

Positive momentum in our aluminum beverage packaging and aerospace businesses continued during 2019. With increased global customer and consumer demand for sustainable aluminum packaging solutions and aerospace services and technologies for the U.S. Government, we stayed the course with critical investments in operations, systems and talent. Our focus on long-term earnings and cash flow allowed us to return approximately $1.1 billion to shareholders and generate $217 million of EVA® dollars.

2019 Our Financial Highlights

*: Certain of these financial measures are on a non-U.S. GAAP basis and should be considered in connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within Item 8 of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report"). Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP is available in Items 6 and 7 of the Annual Report.

Compensation Policies and Practices

Our compensation philosophy is to pay executive management for performance over the long-term, as well as on an annual basis. Our performance considerations include solely financial measures—including the manner in which results are achieved—for the Company, each line of business, and the individual. These considerations reinforce and promote responsible growth and maintain alignment with our risk framework. Our executive compensation program provides a mix of salary, incentives, and benefits paid over time to align executive officer and shareholder interests, and sound practices and policies advance the continuous improvement and accountability of our executive compensation program:

§: Our Human Resources (HR) Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, meets regularly with executives and senior management;
§: an independent compensation consultant is engaged and reports directly to the HR Committee;
§: total compensation is reviewed via tally sheets;
§: we externally benchmark compensation levels and incentive design practices;
§: dividend equivalents for stock awards which accrue during the vesting and/or performance periods are paid only if vesting terms and/or performance measures are achieved;
§: nominal perquisites are not grossed-up for taxes;
§: ongoing assessment of the relationship between risk and compensation programs;

§: executive stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors;
§: anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies for our executives and directors;
§: a shareholder-approved "clawback" provision for cash incentive and stock compensation, which in the case of fraud or intentional misconduct by any executive at a level of vice president or above may result in full reimbursement of any incentive compensation or cancellation of any outstanding awards to the executive; and
§: change-in-control agreements with multiples that do not exceed two times pay and require a termination of employment following a change in control ("double trigger") before severance benefits are due; for change-in-control agreements entered into after January 1, 2010, excise tax gross-ups were eliminated.

2019 Target Total Compensation Mix

Consistent with our pay-for-performance and our management-as-owners philosophy, the majority of the target total compensation for our executives is variable and strictly based on performance, which constitutes pay at risk. Our CEO is eligible to participate in the same executive programs as other NEOs; however, a larger portion of the CEO target total compensation is at risk. The emphasis on longer term compensation, through performance-based long-term cash and stock awards, ensures a strong continued alignment between our executives and shareholder interests.

At Ball Corporation, we believe key qualities of a board member include, vison, leadership, stewardship, knowledge, diligence, collegiality and discretion. Our directors exhibit these qualities as evidenced by their deep interest and understanding in the mission of the organization, the ability to see the big picture and the courage to set direction to achieve the organization's goals, and the integrity to serve the interests and pursue the objectives of the organization, as well as the interests of our shareholders.

The Corporation has a mandatory retirement age of 72 for all Board members in part to ensure the board benefits from a balanced mix of perspectives. The Board is well balanced with a mix of long-standing directors and new directors who have joined the Board in the last six years.

The Board is composed of members with diverse qualifications and experience that support the Corporation's business strategy and future business needs.

OTHER CURRENT PUBLIC COMPANY BOARDS § None

We believe our current Board of Directors benefits from a blend of recently added directors with fresh perspectives and longer-serving directors with extensive experience and a deep understanding of our business. Over the past several years, a number of directors have retired bringing opportunities to enhance the composition of our Board. The Board has worked diligently to develop a succession plan that has and will continue to serve our management, employees and shareholders. As part of this transformational journey, our Board purposefully planned for the known director retirements by carefully designing and executing searches to replace departing directors with directors who possessed comparable and value added skill sets. The composition of the Board has been refreshed with an eye towards critical financial, organizational and industry expertise, diversity, balance of tenure, and other important factors. Key highlights of our Board refresh journey include:

§: 8 of 11 directors have joined the Board since 2014
§: our current Board reflects increased diversity with strong experience
§: the Board elected Mr. Stuart Taylor as lead independent director in April 2019
§: the average age of our directors is 60 years
§: the average tenure of our directors is 6 years

The Board transformation has coincided with a number of significant changes in our business including the Rexam beverage packaging acquisition in 2016, the growth of our aerospace business and the divestitures of our steel food, and aerosol and Chinese beverage packaging businesses. The Board is also focused on onboarding of new directors, Board education, and team building to preserve the Board's cohesive, professional and collaborative environment. An off-site retreat with the full Board, key management team members and external experts in areas including cybersecurity and sustainability was conducted in the fall of 2019 to review the evolving needs of the organization, as well as to reinforce collaboration among Board members.

In 2013, John A. Hayes was named Chairman of the Board, having been elected a director in 2010. In 2011, prior to his election as Chairman, Mr. Hayes was named President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Mr. Hayes assumed the position of Chairman after more than 14 years with Ball, most recently serving as President and CEO and a member of the Board.

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of Mr. Hayes, as well as 10 other directors, all of whom are independent directors, except for Mr. Hayes and Mr. Mariani. The Board has four standing committees—Audit, Nominating and Corporate Governance, Human Resources and Finance. Each of the committees, except for Finance, is composed solely of independent directors (the Finance Committee is primarily composed of independent directors), with each of the four committees having an independent director serving as chair.

Board leadership structure is a critical issue for many shareholders. The Board believes that ensuring independent and strong leadership is key to building long-term shareholder value, and we are confident our shareholders are well served by the traditional board leadership structure that combines the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive, and is supported by a strong Lead Independent Director in Mr. Taylor. While the Board assesses maintaining the combined role from time to time, the Board believes that Mr. Hayes is best situated to serve as Chairman as he is the director most familiar with our business and industry both domestically and internationally and is therefore best able to identify the strategic and operational priorities to be discussed by the Board. The Board also believes that combining the role of Chairman and CEO facilitates information flow between management and the Board and fosters strategic development and execution.

As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Taylor's responsibilities include:

§: coordinating the activities of the independent directors, including calling meetings of the independent directors
§: coordinating with the CEO and corporate secretary to set the agenda for Board meetings
§: chairing executive sessions of the independent directors
§: providing feedback and perspective to the CEO about discussions among the independent directors
§: helping facilitate communication between the CEO and the independent directors
§: presiding at Board meetings where the Chair is not present
§: performing other duties assigned from time to time by the Board

In addition, the Board maintains effective independent oversight through a number of governance practices, including open and direct communication with management, input on meeting agendas, annual performance evaluations and regular executive sessions.

Pursuant to SEC and New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules, regularly scheduled executive sessions of nonmanagement directors are held. Nonmanagement Board members meet as a separate group at each regularly scheduled Board meeting, and executive sessions of independent directors are also held at least annually. Such meetings, chaired by the Lead Independent Director, promote open discussion by nonmanagement and independent directors enabling them to serve as a check on management.

In accordance with NYSE requirements, our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the risk management function. While the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing key aspects of financial and legal risk management, the entire Board is involved in overseeing enterprise risk management. Additionally, each Board committee considers the specific risks within its area of responsibility. Our Internal Audit Department has, for many years, analyzed various areas of risk to our business and has provided risk assessment and analysis to our Audit Committee. In 2007, we established a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management

process to ensure ongoing attention to various potential risk areas, and which is now supervised by our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Key corporate and divisional risks are systematically identified and assessed on a regular basis. The results of this ongoing risk assessment are reported to our Audit Committee and to our Board at least annually, and were extensively reviewed by the directors at the October 2019 Board meeting.

One of the responsibilities of our Board of Directors is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board and make recommendations involving its organization and operation. The Board annually conducts a robust self-evaluation process that is reviewed each year. One-on-one meetings with each Director are conducted by the Chair to discuss the evaluations and any other matters raised by the Directors. We recognize different board leadership structures may be appropriate for different companies and at different times. We believe our current leadership structure provides the most effective form of leadership for our organization at this time. We believe that our directors provide effective oversight of risk management through the Board's regular dialogue with management members, the Enterprise Risk Management process, annual Board and Committee self-evaluation, and assessment of specific risks within each Board committee area of responsibility.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with a globally-recognized consulting firm to identify potential Board candidates. Working with a set of specifically designed guidelines and a matrix of characteristics including characteristics of diversity, the firm is able to comprehensively assess Board candidates. After a thorough review process by our consultant against the criteria that have been provided, the pool of qualified candidates is presented to the Committee. Selected candidates are further assessed and interviewed by the Committee, and by other Board members, considering the values and needs of the organization.

Our Board embodies the principle of diversity. Over the past six years, we have added eight new directors to the Board, each of whom has significantly enhanced the diversity of the Board of Directors, creating a Board that reflects the diversity and inclusion of the organization. The Committee will continue to identify opportunities to improve the skills, qualifications, independence, diversity, tenure and refreshment of our Board when considering candidates in the future.

All new directors receive orientation training soon after being elected to the Board. Continuing education programs are made available to directors including internal presentations, third-party presentations and externally offered programs. Three directors attended external director training programs in 2019.

Shareholders or others can send communications to the Board. Persons interested in communicating with the Board, its individual directors or its committees may send communications in writing to the Corporate Secretary or the Chairman of the Board. The communication should be sent in care of the Corporate Secretary:

In accordance with the NYSE and SEC requirements, the Corporation has established additional means for interested parties to send communications to the Board and selected committees, which are described on our website at www.ball.com/investors under "Corporate Governance."

Shareholder proposals for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials must be communicated as disclosed in this Proxy Statement under "Shareholder Proposals for 2020 Annual Meeting."

The Board meets regularly and not less than four times per year. Nonmanagement directors meet as a separate group at each regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting. Independent directors meet at least annually. Mr. Taylor serves as Lead Independent Director.

Pursuant to the NYSE Listing Standards, the Board has adopted a policy adhering to the director independence requirements of the NYSE in determining the independence of directors. These standards are described on our website at www.ball.com/investors under "Corporate Governance." The Board has determined that a majority of the Board is independent. Based upon the NYSE director independence standards, during 2019 each of the members of the Board was and currently is independent with the exception of Messrs. Hayes and Mariani.

The members of the Board are expected to attend all meetings of the Board, relevant committee meetings and the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board held six meetings during 2019. Every legacy director attended 80% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which the director served. All directors at the time attended the 2019 Annual Meeting. Mr. Penegor and Ms. Sapp attended all Board and applicable committee meetings since their respective appointments.

The Board has an Audit Committee, Finance Committee, Human Resources Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

MEETINGS IN FISCAL 2019


		The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent and financially literate, has accounting or financial management expertise and is an Audit Committee financial expert under the NYSE Listing Standards and the SEC regulations.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER AND REPORT
Our audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE listing. A copy of the charter of our audit committee is available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.ball.com/investors.

►: The Report of the Audit Committee appears on page 75 of this Proxy Statement.

The Committee has considered the non-audit services provided during 2019 and 2018 by the independent auditor as disclosed below and determined the services were compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence. The Committee believes the fees paid to the independent auditor in respect of the services were appropriate, necessary and cost-efficient in the management of the business of the Corporation and are compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

PRIMARY RESPONSBILITIES

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is:

§

to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to oversee management's conduct and the integrity of the Corporation's public financial reporting process, including the oversight of:

(1): accounting policies;
(2): the system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting;
(3): disclosure controls and procedures;
(4): the performance of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Corporation (the "independent auditor");
(5): the Internal Audit Department; and
(6): the Legal and Regulatory compliance.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for:

§: engaging and evaluating the Corporation's independent auditor and its lead engagement partner, including the qualifications and independence of both;
§: resolving any differences between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting;
§: reviewing and preapproving all audit and non-audit fees and services provided by the independent auditor; and
§: establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters.

PRIMARY RESPONSBILITIES

The primary purpose of the Human Resources Committee is:

§

to assist the Board with input from executive management in fulfilling its responsibilities related to:

(1): the evaluation and compensation of the CEO and overseeing and approving the compensation of the other executive officers of the Corporation;
(2): approving the Corporation's stock and cash incentive compensation programs including awards to executive officers and the number of shares to be optioned and/or granted from time to time to employees of the Corporation;
(3): approving and receiving reports on major benefit plans, plan changes and determinations and discontinuations of benefit plans;
(4): discussing the performance evaluation system and succession planning system of the Corporation, including discussions with the CEO about the succession plan for the CEO;
(5): hiring experts, including executive compensation consultants, as deemed appropriate to advise the Committee;
(6): assessment of compensation-related risks; and
(7): authorizing the administration of compensation programs and the filing of required reports with federal, state and local governmental agencies.

The Board has established a process whereby nominees to the Board may be submitted by members of the Board, the CEO, shareholders and any other persons. The Committee considers these recommended candidates in light of criteria set forth below.

The Committee will seek candidates who meet at a minimum the following criteria:

§: have sufficient time to attend or otherwise be present at Board, relevant Board committee and Shareholders' meetings;
§: will subscribe to Ball Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Executive Officers and Directors Ethics Statement;
§: demonstrate credentials and experience in a broad range of corporate matters;

§: are not affiliated with special interest groups that represent major causes or constituents; and

§: meet the criteria, if any, for being a director of the Corporation as set forth in the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Corporation.

As further described in the Board Diversity section on page 21, the Committee will apply the principles of diversity in consideration of candidates. The Committee utilizes third-party consultants to identify and screen candidates on a confidential basis for service on the Board. The Committee will also determine candidates' qualifications according to the standards set by the Committee and by evaluating the qualifications of all candidates. This well-defined practice produces the most qualified nominees suited to serve as a director while attempting to ensure that a majority of the Board is independent. Also, and where needed, our recruiting practices ensure that candidates meet the NYSE and SEC requirements for financial literacy, accounting or financial management expertise or audit committee financial expert status.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders no later than November 16, 2020 in accordance with our Bylaws. Any such recommendation should be in writing and addressed to:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received no recommendations for candidates as nominees for the Board from a security holder or group of security holders that beneficially owned more than 5% of the Corporation's voting common stock for at least one year as of the date of the recommendation.

The table set forth below summarizes the 2019 compensation paid to each of our nonmanagement directors. The elements of the nonmanagement director compensation program are evaluated and determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which takes into account market data provided by our external consultant.

Specific deferrals may result in Company match to both plans, up to the $20,000 annual maximum, per plan. Values also represent Company matching charitable donations under the Matching Gifts Program for Directors.

We have established a stock ownership guideline for each nonmanagement director equal to five times their annual cash retainer amount.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines are set forth on our website at www.ball.com/investors under "Corporate Governance." A copy of the guidelines may also be obtained upon request from the Corporation's Corporate Secretary.

Chaired by a designated Compliance Officer, we established a Corporate Compliance Committee in 1993 which now consists of a focal point for each operating division. The Committee provides quarterly reports to management and to the Audit Committee. The Committee also publishes the Business Ethics Code of Conduct, which is regularly reviewed and updated. The Board has adopted a separate business ethics statement referred to as the Ball Corporation Executive Officers and Directors Business Ethics Statement ("Executive Officers and Directors Ethics Statement") designed to establish principles requiring the highest level of ethical behavior toward achieving business success within the requirements of the law and our policies and ethical standards. The Business Ethics Code of Conduct and the Executive Officers and Directors Ethics Statement are set forth on our website at www.ball.com/investors under "Corporate Governance" Copies may also be obtained upon request from the Corporation's Corporate Secretary.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") portion of the Proxy Statement describes Ball Corporation's business strategy, the alignment between our business strategy, shareholder interests and our pay-for-performance executive compensation programs. The CD&A also provides the required compensation disclosure for 2019 for the Corporation's named executive officers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We strive to increase shareholder value by utilizing our long-standing EVA® mindset to lead our business strategy, prudently allocating growth capital and effectively managing our balance sheet. Our focus in on ensuring aluminum beverage and aerosol cans are the most sustainable packages in our customers' growing product portfolios and that our aerospace and defense technologies and services meet the growing demand for the climate monitoring, weather prediction and intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance needs of the U.S. government.

During 2019, strong global growth for aluminum beverage packaging products, high demand for Ball's aerospace capabilities and our growing earnings and cash flow allowed us to return approximately $1.1 billion to shareholders and generate $217 million of EVA® dollars.

We continued to positively focus on our culture and employee engagement to enable our business strategy and to differentiate us in the market for talent. The dedication, clear focus and hard work of our employees, combined with the importance of knowing who we are, where we are going and what is important, has positioned Ball Corporation to drive long-term value for all stakeholders in 2020 and beyond.

Ball Is Committed to Shareholder-Oriented Corporate Governance

Our governance process ensures that the executive compensation program is appropriately maintained and updated to always meet a standard of excellence in pay-for-performance alignment. Specifically, a number of practices and policies are in place to promote the continuous improvement and accountability of our executive compensation program:


		COMPENSATION AND GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES


§		A Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") composed entirely of directors who meet the NYSE independence standards;

§		An independent executive compensation consultant, engaged by and reporting directly to the Committee;

§		A review of total compensation via tally sheets;

§		External benchmarking of compensation levels and incentive design practices;

§		Dividend equivalents for stock awards which accrue during the vesting and/or performance periods and are paid only if vesting terms and/or performance measures are achieved;

§		Nominal perquisites that are not grossed-up for taxes;

§		Ongoing assessment of the relationship between risk and compensation programs;

§		Executive stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors;

§		Anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies for our executives and directors;

§		A shareholder-approved recoupment or "clawback" provision for cash incentive and stock compensation, which in the case of fraud or intentional misconduct by any executive at a level of vice president or above, may result in full reimbursement to Ball of any incentive compensation or cancellation of any outstanding awards to the executive; and

§		Change-in-control agreements with multiples that do not exceed two times pay and that require a termination of employment following a change in control ("double trigger") before severance benefits are due. Excise tax gross-ups have been eliminated for any new change-in-control agreements entered into after January 1, 2010.

The Committee is confident that our executive compensation program, our management-as-owners culture, and our pay-for-performance philosophy have directly contributed to the successful performance of the business and resulted in an executive team closely aligned with shareholders.

Ball's EVA®-Focused Business Strategy Delivers Results in 2019

Our vision for the future relies upon our long-held EVA® discipline. All lines of business and strategic initiatives are consistently measured through an EVA® lens. EVA® by simple definition is sales less operating costs ("NOPAT" or net operating profit after-tax) less a cost of capital charge. We have, for more than 25 years, sought to increase total EVA® generated year-on-year resulting in sustainable shareholder value creation. Requiring each business to earn returns higher than its cost of capital drives managers to make the best long-term decisions for our stakeholders, by intelligently cutting costs through lean initiatives, implementing process efficiencies, undertaking focused outsourcing efforts, investing in innovation, technology and infrastructure capital to drive profitable growth, and turning working capital faster and/or reducing working capital and assets within marginal or underperforming businesses.

Some of the actions taken in 2019 to enhance long-term EVA® and perpetuate the social, economic and environmental sustainability of our company included:

§: announcing the construction of state-of-the art specialty beverage manufacturing facilities in the United States and Brazil in addition to installing and speeding up specialty beverage can lines in existing beverage manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe to serve 5% unit volume growth across our global beverage business;
§: broadening employee engagement and training including two global Women's Summits held in North America and Europe, initiating a new global talent management system, hosting an internal Climate Summit to ensure alignment with our customers and supply chain, sponsoring an unconscious bias training to foster inclusivity and continuing workplace safety and skills-based training in our manufacturing operations;
§: investing to expand our aerospace infrastructure in Colorado to support over $2.5 billion of contracted

: backlog and hiring more than 2,000 new employees in the business since 2017;
§: closing on the sale of underperforming Chinese aluminum beverage facilities for $200 million in cash proceeds to further reduce our leverage and return value to shareholders;
§: launching our new lightweight, brandable aluminum cups business to provide additional aluminum packaging solutions to venues transitioning away from single-use plastics;
§: setting significant greenhouse gas emission reduction goals to reduce our carbon footprint and transitioning to 100% renewal energy in North America by 2021;
§: paying down debt to an optimal leverage level;
§: returning over $1.1 billion to shareholders, and
§: deploying $350 million of growth capital expenditure to high EVA® returning projects.

Ball's EVA®-Disciplined Performance Continues to Deliver for Shareholders

As a result of multi-year execution of our EVA®-focused strategy:

§: Ball's stock price closed 2019 at $64.67, an increase of 40.7% over the prior year.
§: In May 2019, we increased the quarterly cash dividends 50% to 15 cents per share, providing annual dividends of $182 million, and completed $945 million of net repurchases of our common stock. Since 2009 we have returned over $5 billion to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends.

§: Including reinvested dividends, Ball generated 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year total returns of 41.8%, 77.1%, 97.8% and 445.4% respectively; significantly above the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year returns for the S&P 500 of 28.9%, 44.3%, 56.9% and 189.7% respectively.
§: Ball's 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year total returns also surpassed the Containers and Packaging Index returns of 25.6%, 17%, 28.4% and 155% over the same periods respectively.

These results are a continuation of the performance delivered over the past number of years and provide a firm foundation for further growth as we execute our strategy.

To illustrate the connection between EVA® and shareholder value, the chart below summarizes a 20-year 92% historical correlation of EVA® dollar returns and share price growth. The chart also shows Ball's demonstrated ability to generate significant EVA® returns, while significantly expanding its invested capital base, which has increased by approximately $8 billion since 1998. Through its continued and disciplined use of EVA® as the lens for strategic decisions, Ball continues to efficiently deploy capital and generate significant shareholder value.

Stock prices adjusted for the February 22, 2002, August 23, 2004, February 15, 2011 and May 16, 2017, two-for-one stock splits. Average invested capital base grew from approximately $2 billion in 1998 to approximately $10 billion in 2018. Chart reflects the 6-month, partial-year increase associated with the Rexam acquisition which closed on June 30, 2016, net required divestment; therefore, 2017 reflects the full-year notable increase in returns on the company's average invested capital base. EVA®$ historical correlation calculated over the 1999 to 2019 period.

Going forward, our strong free cash flow and solid balance sheet provide the flexibility to continue to invest in our aluminum packaging and aerospace businesses and to commercialize the sustainability benefits of our metal packaging businesses, including our recently launched lightweight aluminum cup. We remain committed to return a significant amount of capital to shareholders via our long-standing, consistent share repurchase program and payment of dividends, in 2020 and beyond.

Compensation Programs Aligned with Business Strategy and Shareholder Interests

We are committed to our pay-for-performance and management-as-owners compensation philosophy, which aligns compensation with our business strategy and shareholder value creation. This is illustrated through use of short-term and long-term incentive programs that focus on continuous EVA® dollar growth, TSR, ROAIC and absolute stock price growth.

In those incentive programs that have EVA® growth-based performance targets, we are committed to shareholder value creation as demonstrated through:

§: EVA® HURDLE RATE HIGHER THAN WACC
We use a formula that applies a minimum hurdle rate of 9% after-tax when determining EVA® dollars generated, although our estimated weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") is approximately 6%. Requiring a hurdle rate above the WACC provides a level of returns to shareholders before the incentive plans begin to reward our

employees. Hence, shareholder value creation is realized when returns are greater than the approximately 6% WACC, whereas the basis for compensation is EVA®-generated utilizing the higher 9% hurdle rate.

§: RISK-ADJUSTED EVA® HURDLE RATES
While 9% after tax is the standard minimum hurdle rate generally used by us in its calculation of EVA® dollars generated, we require hurdle rates higher than 9% for higher-risk regions, emerging markets or new technologies.
§: FORMULAIC EVA® TARGET SETTING
We follow a best practice approach to short-term incentive goal-setting by using a consistent, objective, formulaic methodology that continuously focuses on EVA® dollar growth. This process is core to EVA® mechanics and the same formula has been used by us for more than 25 years. We find that this methodology removes the subjectivity that is sometimes found in other goal-setting methods, avoids unnecessary internal budget negotiations, requires consistent incremental value creation, allows for transparency with employees and shareholders, and enables direct employee engagement in achieving desired results that are aligned with shareholder interests. More information on this formulaic approach to Ball's short-term incentive goal-setting can be found in the Annual Incentive section of this CD&A.

Beyond our programs that are focused on EVA®, we further ensure pay-for-performance alignment with shareholder value generation through:

§: Additional long-term incentive programs that utilize value-added financial performance metrics other than EVA®—specifically, ROAIC, TSR and absolute stock price growth—creating accountability for both the efficient deployment of capital, strong earnings generation and stock price performance.
§: A management-as-owners culture that builds a management team with meaningful ownership in Ball. Executives are closely aligned to shareholder interests through established ownership expectations, equity-based long-term incentives and other periodic programs that encourage individuals to make meaningful investments in Ball Corporation common stock.

Shareholder Engagement

The annual Proxy Statement and Say-on-Pay voting process provides an additional opportunity for us to receive comprehensive feedback from shareholders. Each year, we leverage the opportunity to engage our institutional investors' stewardship committees to discuss the company's business performance, board composition, pay practices and sustainability (or ESG) initiatives. During these engagements, management, our Lead Independent Director and shareholders discussed a number of topics, including Ball's pay practices, long-term use of EVA®, board composition, employee engagement, progress on diversity and inclusion initiatives and sustainability leadership. As a result of positive shareholder feedback and our continued solid financial performance, our board of directors, based upon the recommendation of our Human Resources Committee, unanimously recommended to retain our existing executive compensation program and its pay-for-performance linkage, and continued strong alignment with shareholder value creation.

NEO Target Compensation Awarded in 2019

After our review of competitive market data based on both General Industry and Peer Group, our financial and operational performance, executive compensation consultant and CEO recommendations, tally sheet analysis, executive individual performance, and internal pay comparisons, the Committee authorized the following target total compensation elements for the CEO and other NEOs:

§: Base salary based on analysis of external market data and our pay philosophy;
§: Continued utilization of the short-term annual incentive EVA® plan;
§: Continued utilization of LTCIP awards. The performance measures and degree of vesting for the 2019-2021 LTCIP awards is based on ROAIC performance above a target rate set above Ball's WACC and shareholder

returns that outperform the market. LTCIP awards for 2019-2021 have a potential outcome to executives of 0% to 200%; and

§: Continued utilization of PC-RSU awards. The performance measure and degree of vesting for the 2019-2021 PC-RSU awards is based on a future target value of absolute EVA® dollars generated in excess of our internal 9% after-tax hurdle rate as the capital charge, relative to 0% (threshold), 4% (target) and 8% (maximum) compound growth rate targets achieved over a three-year period. PC-RSU awards for 2019-2021 have a potential outcome to executives of 0% to 200%.
§: Continued utilization of Stock Option awards. As outlined previously, Stock Options reward absolute stock price growth over time.

Compensation Outcomes Driven by Business Performance

Our fiscal 2019 financial results and the resulting EVA® were directly connected to the outcome of our annual short-term incentive plan, with performance relative to targets, as shown below:

Our fiscal year 2019 results reflect our continued efforts in growing the organization, the successful execution of our business strategy, and strong performance in prior years. Pay realized by our NEOs from long-term incentive performance periods completed at 2019 year-end continues to reflect our commitment to improved financial performance and stock price growth, as shown below:


Compensation	Compensation Element	2019 Performance Achievement	2019 Pay Outcome

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (CASH)	Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan ("LTCIP") 2017-2019 Period	§ Actual 3-year average ROAIC of 11.3% exceeded the target of 9.0% and exceeded the maximum of 11.0%. § Relative TSR versus the S&P 500 subset was at the 81st percentile, which exceeded the maximum of the 75th percentile.	Based on the 50%/50% blended ROAIC and TSR performance relative to targets, all of our NEOs received LTCIP payout equal to 200% of target.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (EQUITY)	Performance-Contingent RSUs ("PC-RSUs") 2017-2019 Period	Actual EVA® generated was $216.9 million compared to the target of $223.4 million, which represents EVA® dollar growth at 4% compound, annual rate over the 3-year performance period. Based on this performance, a result of slightly below target was achieved.	Based on the absolute EVA® dollars generated relative to target, PC-RSUs vested on January 31, 2020, for all NEOs at amounts that were 74% of target.

OTHER PERIODIC PROGRAMS	Special Acquisition-Related Incentive Program ("SAIP")	Over the 42-month performance period, actual cumulative EVA® dollars generated was $821 million compared to the target of $832 million, and actual cumulative cash flow dollars generated was $2,533 million compared to the target of $2,355 million for Ball's consolidated SAIP. Based on this performance, a result of above target was achieved. The actual cumulative EVA® and cumulative cash flow dollars generated by the Aerospace business exceeded their maximum levels.	Based on the cumulative EVA® and cumulative cash flow dollars generated during the 42-month performance period, SAIP awards vested on January 31, 2020, for all NEOs at amounts that were 131% of target, except Mr. Strain, whose payout was 200% of target. Mr. Strain's target was based-upon his respective business unit.

The Committee oversees the administration of the executive compensation program and determines the compensation of our executive officers. The Committee is solely composed of nonmanagement directors, all of whom meet the independence requirements of the NYSE. Furthermore, the Committee has retained an independent consultant (the "Consultant") to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. The Consultant is employed by Pay Governance, LLC, and is engaged by and reports directly to the Committee.

Specifically, the Consultant's role is to develop recommendations for the Committee related to all aspects of the executive compensation program and the Consultant works with management to obtain information necessary to develop the recommendations. The Committee assessed Pay Governance's independence in 2019, as required under NYSE listing rules. Based on this review, it was determined that no conflict of interest exists with the work performed by Pay Governance and consider them to be independent.

When benchmarking compensation to the competitive market, we use two market reference points for our executive officers. This two-pronged approach provides a spectrum of relevant information on executive compensation levels, practices and trends in the marketplace. The Committee does not target pay to a specific market benchmark but rather considers the range of data presented along with tenure, company performance and individual performance when setting pay for NEOs. The market reference points provided to the Committee typically consist of "Peer Group" and "General Industry" market data.

"Peer Group" market data are reviewed for the CEO and CFO and are composed of companies within the containers and packaging, food, household durable and nondurable goods, and manufacturing industries. The Committee uses the Peer Group data as a transparent reference point for assessing pay levels across similarly-situated CEOs and CFOs. In addition

to pay levels, the Committee reviews tenure and performance data across the Peer Group. Data for the Peer Group are collected from publicly disclosed data contained in SEC filings.

"General Industry" market data is presented for all NEOs and reflects the broad talent market in which we compete. The critical skills required by our management team have historically been found both inside and outside of the containers and packaging industry. Hence, the Committee believes it is appropriate to focus on General Industry market levels as the primary market reference point for evaluating the competitiveness of our executive compensation program. These data are size-adjusted to reflect the relative size of the orginization or the relevant business unit for the executive. Size-adjusting the data ensures that market levels are being developed for like roles within businesses of similar size and scope. Data for the General Industry are collected from multiple proprietary survey sources published by leading market data providers.

In developing the Peer Group, the Consultant sourced objective, quantitative financial and industry criteria, as well as qualitative criteria regarding the nature of our business operations. Specifically, the Consultant used the following principles and criteria in identifying the Peer Group companies:


Design Principle		Criteria

Quantitative financial criteria to ensure organizations are comparable in terms of size and structure		§ Revenue between an approximate range of 0.4x to 2.5x our revenues § Market capitalization between 0.25x to 5.0x our market capitalization (used as a secondary reference) § Ratio of market capitalization to revenue generally between 0.5x and 2.0x § Positive operating margins generally ranging from 5% to 20%

Qualitative criteria regarding appropriate industry, business types and organizational complexity		§ Direct peers in the containers and packaging industry § Nondurable consumer product companies with some or all of the following characteristics: containers and packaging are a critical element of the final product, there is a substantial business focus on meeting annual performance expectations, and the individual consumer represents the ultimate purchaser of the product § Broader manufacturing companies within the capital goods, chemical manufacturing, paper products and metals industries

Following a review in the third quarter of 2019, the Committee made no adjustments to this Peer Group and it will be used to inform on 2020 pay decisions.

The charts below illustrate our relative positioning compared to the 2019 Peer Group on relevant financial metrics.

BALL MARKET CAPITALIZATION, REVENUE AND NET INCOME AS COMPARED TO THE PEER GROUP

The Committee reviews and adjusts executive target total compensation levels, including long-term incentive levels in January of each year.

We begin the annual process by reviewing each executive officer's target total compensation in relation to the 50th percentile of the market reference points, e.g., General Industry and/or Peer Group. The data is gathered by the Consultant and presented to us together with the Compensation Committee in detailed reports providing a comparative analysis of our executive officer compensation to the market data. The Consultant collaborates with our Executive Compensation Department when preparing the reports.

Additionally, the Consultant creates tally sheets for each executive outlining each executive's annual target and actual pay in relation to competitive market information as well as total accumulated pay under various corporate performance scenarios, both recent and projected. The tally sheets are used to analyze and determine executive officer pay recommendations and understand the potential realizable compensation under various performance scenarios. The Consultant also prepares for the Committee an independent review and recommendation of the CEO's compensation. In its deliberations, the Committee meets with the CEO and other members of senior management, as appropriate, to discuss the application of the competitive benchmarking (pay and performance) relative to the unique structure and needs of the organization.

The CEO's target total compensation package is set by the Committee during an executive session based on the Committee's review of the recommendation prepared by the Consultant, peer and competitive information, including their assessment of the CEO's relative tenure and associated individual performance, the financial and operating performance of the Corporation, and appropriate business judgment.

A recommendation for the target total compensation of other executive officers, including the CFO and other NEOs, is made by the CEO after reviewing the executive's and the organization's business performance. This review is made in conjunction with the executive's responsibility and experience when compared to the competitive market information prepared by the Consultant. The compensation package for the other executive officers is established by the Committee taking into consideration the recommendation of the CEO, the executive officer's individual job responsibilities, experience and overall performance, along with appropriate business judgment.

The Committee may also adjust an executive's compensation level during the year as a result of a promotion. Such adjustments take into consideration competitive market data and a recommendation provided by the Consultant, as well as the recommendation of the CEO, which takes into account the additional responsibilities and overall experience and performance of the executive.

When determining our executive target total compensation decisions in January 2019, the Committee took into account our operating and financial performance in 2018, which resulted in a total return to shareholders of 22.7%, based on stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends, significantly above the (6.2%) return of the S&P 500 and the (20.2%) return of the Dow Jones Containers and Packaging Index. The Corporation also increased EVA® dollars from $240 million in 2017 to $242 million in 2018. The Committee also recognized that all NEOs contributed to the many other successes of the Corporation, including:

§: completing the construction of state-of-the-art specialty beverage manufacturing facilities in the United States and Spain, and installing specialty beverage can lines in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Serbia, Switzerland and Texas,
§: investing to expand our aerospace infrastructure in Colorado to support over $2.2 billion of contracted backlog and 900 new employees,
§: selling our U.S. steel food and steel aerosol packaging businesses into a 49% owned joint venture resulting in $600 million in cash proceeds to further reduce our leverage and return value to shareholders,
§: announcing the sale of our beverage can manufacturing assets in China to an existing Chinese company,
§: launching our biennial sustainability report and setting an enhanced science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 27% by 2030, compared to a 2017 baseline, and
§: with the completion in 2018 of the pay down of debt incurred to acquire Rexam PLC, the Corporation has reached its target leverage ahead of schedule.

During 2018, the Corporation was again recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for maintaining our position as the only packaging company to be listed on both the North American and World indexes, and also received a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

Base Salary

Base salary levels are set on the basis of factors such as job responsibilities, the CEO's subjective judgment of individual performance and contributions to overall business performance, tenure and experience level, internal merit increase budgets, external market base salary movement and market competitiveness as compared to 50th percentile data. With respect to promotions, we may initially position an individual below the 50th percentile and then adjust their base pay closer to the market median over time, in order to ensure the individual is successfully performing and growing into their new role. The Committee reviewed base salary levels during the executive compensation review as outlined under the section entitled "Process for Determining Executive Compensation," which included an analysis of external market data, prepared by the Consultant and approved salary increases for all NEOs in late January 2019, with changes effective retroactively to January 1, 2019.


NEO		2019 Base Salary	Rationale

John A. Hayes	$	1,332,739	2019 base salary was based on the executive compensation review, including an analysis of external market data, and reflected a merit increase consistent with the Corporation's merit increase budget

Scott C. Morrison	$	717,225	2019 base salary was based on the executive compensation review, including an analysis of external market data, and reflected a merit increase consistent with the Corporation's merit increase budget

Daniel W. Fisher	$	695,000	2019 base salary was based on the executive compensation review, including an analysis of external market data. Mr. Fisher's base salary reflected an increase to recognize his performance in relation to market practices

Lisa A. Pauley	$	538,150	2019 base salary was based on the executive compensation review, including an analysis of external market data, and reflected a merit increase consistent with the Corporation's merit increase budget

Robert D. Strain	$	475,000	2019 base salary was based on the executive compensation review, including an analysis of external market data. Mr. Strain's base salary reflected an increase to recognize his performance in relation to market practices

our EVA® target by $10.5 million and resulted in a payout of 94% of target, as shown below:


Performance Measure	Minimum	Target	Maximum	Actual

EVA®	$53.4 million	$227.4 million	$314.4 million	$216.9 million

Mr. Fisher's and Mr. Strain's EVA® targets were based on a combination of their respective operating units' financial and EVA® goals and the Corporation's consolidated plan; however, due to the competitively sensitive nature of such financial metrics, these values have been excluded.

Target Incentive Percentages and 2019 Incentive Paid—A target incentive opportunity is established each year as a percentage of an executive's annual base salary and is targeted at approximately the 50th percentile of the competitive market with the opportunity to earn more for above-target performance or less for below-target performance. The 2019 target incentive opportunity for Messrs. Hayes, Morrison and Ms. Pauley was dependent upon the Corporation's consolidated EVA® performance; whereas for Mr. Fisher, 80% was dependent upon the EVA® performance of the Global Beverage Packaging operating unit and 20% dependent upon the Corporation's consolidated EVA® performance, and for Mr. Strain, 80% was dependent upon the EVA® performance of the Aerospace operating unit and 20% dependent upon the Corporation's consolidated EVA® performance.

The table below summarizes for each NEO the 2019 target incentive opportunity as compared to the actual incentive paid as a result of the year's strong EVA® performance. The value paid may include a one-third increment of a prior bank balance.



	Target Annual Incentive				Actual Annual Incentive

NEO	% of Base			$ Value	% of Base			$ Value Paid

John A. Hayes	140	%	$	1,863,909	132	%	$	1,752,075

Scott C. Morrison	85	%	$	609,012	80	%	$	572,471

Daniel W. Fisher	85	%	$	589,131	75	%	$	517,973

Lisa A. Pauley	80	%	$	430,075	75	%	$	404,270

Robert D. Strain, Jr.	70	%	$	332,034	159	%	$	753,312

Certain U.S.-based executives, including the NEOs, may elect to defer the payment of all or a portion of their annual incentive compensation into the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan and/or the 2005 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan, as described in the "Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation" section.

Long-Term Incentives

This element of compensation is designed to provide ownership and cash opportunities to promote the achievement of longer term financial performance goals and enhanced TSR. Our long-term incentive opportunity is generally provided through a combination of equity and cash awards, which the Committee believes best matches the compensation principles for the program.

The 2019 target award mix of long-term incentive vehicles was 20% LTCIP, 40% Stock Options and 40% PC-RSUs. The total target amount of long-term incentives, based on the grant date expected value, is generally established in relation to the 50th percentile of the competitive market, individual roles and responsibilities, individual performance (as outlined in the preceding "Base Salary" section) and our financial and operating performance.


			Mix of Long-Term Vehicles

NEO		Total Target Long-Term Value	% LTCIP		% Stock Options		% PC-RSUs

John A. Hayes	$	7,250,000	20	%	40	%	40	%

Scott C. Morrison	$	1,660,000	20	%	40	%	40	%

Daniel W. Fisher	$	1,600,000	20	%	40	%	40	%

Lisa A. Pauley	$	985,000	20	%	40	%	40	%

Robert D. Strain, Jr.	$	730,000	20	%	40	%	40	%

The long-term incentive awards provide value only if the organization achieves positive stock price and financial performance. This emphasis on long-term compensation, through performance-based long-term cash and equity awards, ensures a strong continued alignment with our executive ownership and shareholder value.

Performance-Based Cash Awards—Our performance-based long-term cash incentive award, LTCIP, is intended to focus executives on the achievement of multiyear performance goals that will enhance shareholder value. Our TSR and ROAIC are considered in determining the amount, if any, of awards earned under our LTCIP. Performance is measured on a cumulative basis over a three-year performance period. Awards pursuant to the LTCIP are generally made on an annual basis such that three performance periods overlap.

Any actual award earned is paid at the end of the three-year performance period. There were three overlapping periods in 2019:

§: 2017-2019—Awarded in 2017, completed at the end of 2019, vesting took place in early 2020.

§: 2018-2020—Awarded in 2018, in process, will complete at the end of 2020, payment in early 2021, if performance measures are attained.
§: 2019-2021—Awarded in 2019, in process, will complete at the end of 2021, payment in early 2022, if performance measures are attained; included in the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table."

The LTCIP provides executives the opportunity to earn awards based on a combination of two performance measures. One-half of the award is based on our three-year TSR as measured against the TSRs of a subset of companies in the S&P 500, excluding companies in the S&P 500 Index that are classified as being part of the Financial or Utilities industry sectors or the Transportation industry group. Companies added to the S&P 500 during the performance period are also excluded. TSR is measured by comparing (1) our average daily closing price and dividends in the third year of the performance period with (2) the average daily closing price and dividends for the year prior to the start of the performance period against (3) the equivalent TSRs for the group of companies described above over the same period. The target performance requirement for the TSR measure is the 50th percentile of the S&P 500 subset described above.

The other one-half of the award is based on average ROAIC performance over the three-year period. ROAIC is calculated by dividing the average of organization net

operating profit after-tax over the relevant performance period by its average invested capital over such period. The minimum performance threshold of 7% is greater than, and the target performance requirement of 9% is measurably greater than, we estimate WACC. As such, management is not rewarded until shareholder value has been created and these performance requirements ensure management is focused on driving such value.

In summary, the target, minimum and maximum performance requirements are as follows:


Performance Measure	Minimum	Target	Maximum

TSR	37.5th percentile	50th percentile	75th percentile

ROAIC (after-tax)	7%	9%	11%

For each measure, minimum performance results in a zero payout factor, target performance results in a 100% payout factor and maximum performance results in a 200% payout factor for the respective one-half of the award. Performance between minimum, target and maximum is extrapolated to determine the payout factor.

Each NEO's incentive opportunity is established by considering external long-term incentive market data and the Corporation's internal pay equity. Each NEO's LTCIP opportunity is set as a fixed target dollar amount based on the 20% target award mix of long-term incentive vehicles, which ensures that the value of our long-term incentives remain consistent with competitive market practices.

The executive's award for any given performance period is calculated as follows:

Equity-Based Awards—Our equity awards may be provided through various forms, all of which are tied to the price of Ball Corporation common stock. Annual equity awards associated with target total compensation are typically granted in January on the date of the quarterly meeting of the Board; however, equity awards may be granted during the year as part of an executive's promotion, extraordinary performance or for retention purposes. In the case of newly hired executives, equity awards may be granted upon the executive joining the Corporation. Annual equity-based awards are determined for each NEO in order to bring target total compensation to the level deemed appropriate by the Committee in relation to the external market 50th percentile and each executive's roles, responsibilities and performance.

In January 2019, the Committee approved the award of Stock Options and PC-RSUs to the NEOs and executive officers. Each form of equity is described below. The target values of these awards were based on the total target award mix of long-term incentive vehicles as previously described (40% Stock Options and 40% PC-RSUs). The number and/or value of the equity awarded in 2019 to the NEOs is reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" and the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table." All equity awards are pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan.

§: Stock Options: Stock Options are granted in order to reward executives for the creation of shareholder value, and will only provide value to executives if the price of our stock increases. Such awards generally vest at 25% per year for four years and expire in ten years. The grant value of each Stock Option is based on the Black-Scholes value of our common stock on the date of grant.
§: Performance-Contingent RSUs: PC-RSUs are granted in order to promote share ownership through the achievement of defined multiyear performance goals that enhance shareholder value and align with the Corporation's Drive for 10 vision. The performance measure is a future target value of our absolute EVA® dollars generated in the third year of the performance period. The target value is calculated by increasing the actual EVA® dollars generated, in excess of the 9% after tax hurdle rate, in the year prior to the start of the performance period, by a compound annual growth rate of 4% over the three year period. Given the challenging nature of this measure, a minimum and maximum performance range exists and may result in an actual payout of between 0% and 200%. The minimum performance measure is EVA® dollars equal to the prior year end

achieved absolute EVA® dollars. In this case, even though we would have continued to generate positive EVA®, the lack of growth in that figure results in a zero payout. The maximum performance measure is only achieved if we generate absolute EVA® dollars in the third year of the performance period at, or above, a value calculated in the same manner as the target, but using an aggressive compound annual growth rate of 8% over the three year period. Performance between minimum, target and maximum is extrapolated to determine the payout factor. Awards are generally made on an annual basis such that three performance periods overlap. Any actual award earned is paid at the end of the three year performance period. During 2019, there were three overlapping periods: Performance between minimum, target and maximum is extrapolated to determine the payout factor. Awards are generally made on an annual basis such that three performance periods overlap. Any actual award earned is paid at the end of the three-year performance period. During 2019, there were three overlapping periods:

–: 2017-2019—PC-RSUs were granted in 2017, completed at the end of 2019, and vesting took place in early 2020. The actual EVA® generated was $216.9 million compared to our compound growth rate target of $223.4 million and 74% of all granted units for that three-year period vested for the NEOs.

§: Restricted Stock or RSUs: The Committee or CEO may also grant restricted stock or RSUs generally in connection with the promotion or recruitment of individuals to facilitate ownership and retention. Pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, the Committee delegated to the CEO the authority to grant up to a maximum of 10,000 restricted shares or RSUs to any one individual in a calendar year, except the CEO may not make such grants to officers of the Corporation. Any such grant is ratified by the Committee at the first Committee meeting following such grant. Grants made are generally effective at the closing stock price on the day of the grant or may be effective at the closing stock price on a specific day in the future as defined by the Committee or the CEO. As an example, the future grant of a restricted stock or RSU award may be approved pending the effective date of a promotion, employment or other date. These awards generally vest in either 20% or 25% increments on each annual anniversary of the grant date. These grants serve as a long-term incentive element, promote share ownership and may provide an executive retention incentive. No new restricted stock or RSUs were awarded to the NEOs in 2019.
§: Deposit Share Program ("DSP"): Introduced in 2001, we may, from time-to-time, grant restricted stock or RSUs pursuant to the DSP. This program is used with the intent to further drive an ownership culture, especially among new leaders that may have little-to-no Ball stock ownership, and to further align our leadership focus with shareholder interests. Under this program, a participant receives one matching RSU for every acquired common stock share newly attained and held by the participant (either in the open market, through the exercise of stock options or deferral, if eligible, of annual incentive compensation to the Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan) during a specified acquisition period, up to a maximum number of shares preestablished by the Committee. Essentially, we provide an incentive only if a participant should choose to newly invest in the Company. As long as a participant continues to hold their newly acquired shares, the RSUs will cliff vest four years from the date of grant; or, if stock ownership guidelines are met, 30% of the units vest at the end of the second year and again at the end of the third year, and 40% will

vest at the end of the fourth year. RSUs granted pursuant to the DSP are made on the 15th day of each month following the participant's submission of adequate documentation to the Corporation detailing the acquisition of the newly acquired shares. No new opportunities were awarded to the NEOs in 2019.

Retirement Benefits

We strive for overall benefits to be competitive with the market. All NEOs participate in the same benefit plans and on the same terms as provided to all U.S. salaried employees, with the exception of the differences noted below.

Included in these benefits for the U.S. salaried employees are the annual pension accruals under the qualified pension plan ("Salaried Pension Plan") and contributions to the qualified 401(k) savings plan. We sponsor two qualified salaried defined benefit pension plans in the U.S., one covering our Aerospace subsidiary's employees and the other covering all other U.S. salaried employees. Prior to January 1, 2007, the benefits were determined by final average salary, covered compensation and years of service. Beginning in 2007, the benefit in both plans is an accumulated annual credit based on base salary, the Social Security Wage Base ("SSWB") and a multiplier that is based on service.

The 401(k) savings plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan that allows U.S. salaried employees, including the NEOs, to contribute to the plan 1% to 55% of their base salary up to IRS-determined limits on a before-tax basis. Prior to January 1, 2007, the Corporation matched 50% of the first 6% of base salary contributed to the plan. Beginning in 2007, the Corporation matches 100% of the first 3% of base salary contributed, and 50% of the next 2% of base salary contributed, up to a maximum match of 4% of base salary contributed.

Certain executives, including the NEOs, also receive benefits under the non-qualified SERP which replaces benefits otherwise available in the qualified pension plan except for limits on covered compensation in the qualified plan set by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The SERP is designed to provide retirement benefits that are calculated on base salary that exceeds the maximum amount of pay that can be included in the pension calculation under a pension plan that is tax qualified under the Code. Further information regarding the Salaried Pension Plan and the SERP are provided in the "Pension Benefits" section.

Plan Terms and Procedures

Annual and long-term incentives awarded in 2019 were established and paid to the NEOs pursuant to the terms of the Ball Corporation Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan and the Ball Corporation Annual EVA® Incentive Compensation Plan, which are administered by the Committee. The Ball Corporation Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan permit grants of cash awards and stock awards in an equivalent manner.

Risk Assessment

The Committee continually reviews the relationship between risk and reward in our compensation programs; both through recurring in-depth reviews and ongoing review of any program changes as they occur. At this time, the Committee does not believe that these compensation programs encourage excessive or inappropriate risk. Our internal assessment of risk confirms that our compensation arrangements do not foster undue risk taking. They are performance driven and have strong governance and control mechanisms.

The Committee's executive compensation Consultant conducted a thorough risk assessment of our executive compensation programs in 2019, and reported on this to the Committee. The Consultant reviews a number of criteria regarding compensation design and governance and whether financial risks, operational risks or reputational risks may be generated through any of our programs, policies or practices. The Consultant concluded that they did not identify any elements within Ball's compensation programs and processes that pose material risk to the Corporation. The basis for the Consultant's conclusion is that the Corporation's incentive plans and processes are well designed, diversified and appropriately structured to mitigate risk without diluting incentives for high performance.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Consistent with its stock ownership philosophy, we have established guidelines for senior management. The 2019

stock ownership guidelines (minimum requirements) are as follows:


Executive		Ownership Multiple (of Base Salary)

CEO		6x

CFO and SVPs		3x

Other Executives		1 to 2x

As of December 31, 2019, all executive officers including the NEOs have met their ownership guidelines.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

Ball employees, officers, and directors may not engage in any transaction in Ball securities, including purchases, sales, pledges, hedges, loans and gifts, while possessing material nonpublic information. Additionally, insider employees, including Section 16 Insiders and their immediate family members and entities they control, may not engage in hedging transactions such as equity swaps and forward sale contracts, which would neutralize the economic risk associated with holding Ball Corporation common stock. However, executives and directors are permitted to use contracts to purchase or sell Ball Corporation common stock including pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1, subject to preapproval and applicable rules. Put and call options, pledging, and short selling transactions are not permitted. Directors and officers are also prohibited from holding Ball Corporation securities in margin accounts and from pledging Ball Corporation securities as collateral for a loan.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

The NEOs are covered by arrangements that specify payments in the event the executive's employment is terminated. The type and amount of payments vary by executive level and whether the termination is following a change in control. These severance benefits, which are competitive with General Industry practices, are payable only if the executive's employment is terminated as specified in each of the agreements. Further discussion is provided in the "Other Potential Post-Termination Employment Benefits" section.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

When establishing pay elements or associated programs, the Committee reviews projections of the estimated pro forma expense and tax impact of all material elements of the executive compensation program. Generally, an accounting expense is accrued over the requisite service period of the particular pay element, which in many cases is equal to the performance period, and we may realize a tax deduction upon payment to and/or realization by the executive.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") passed in late 2017 significantly amended Code Section 162(m), effective for tax years beginning in 2018. Prior to 2018, Code Section 162(m) generally provided that publicly-held corporations may not deduct in any one taxable year certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the CEO or any other executive officer (other than the CFO) whose total compensation is required to be disclosed in the "Summary Compensation Table" by reason of being the next three most highly-compensated executive officers, or former executive officers, as may be required ("covered employees"), other than certain performance-based compensation which was exempt from the

$1 million limit. Among the various changes of the TCJA, it amended Code Section 162(m) by repealing the exemption of qualifying performance-based pay, including the CFO as a covered employee and providing that an individual who is a covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016 will continue to be a covered employee for all subsequent taxable years in which the individual receives compensation. We intend to take advantage of existing transition rules which may allow payments to be deductible based on the application of the Section 162(m) rules in effect prior to the TCJA changes, based on the belief that certain compensation arrangements were made pursuant to written binding contracts that were in effect on November 2, 2017, and have not been materially modified. The organization and the Committee may make prospective changes to compensation to NEOs and related policies to comply with this legislation and maximize the potential deductibility of such compensation by the Corporation.

Code Section 280G considerations related to tax reimbursements made to executives for taxes on amounts paid in the event of termination following a change in control are discussed in the narrative to the "Other Potential Post-Termination Employment Benefits" section.

The Committee has reviewed the above CD&A and discussed its contents with members of our management team. Based on this review and discussion, the Committee has recommended that this CD&A be incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and as set out in this Proxy Statement.

The "Summary Compensation Table" represents all fiscal year 2019 elements of compensation for the Corporation's NEOs including:

§: Base salary earned
§: Awards earned under the Annual EVA® Incentive Compensation Plan for 2019 performance
§: Awards earned under the LTCIP for the three-year performance period ended in 2019
§: Fair value of PC-RSU and/or other RSU awards granted in 2019, calculated in accordance with Topic 718
§: Fair value of Stock Options awards granted in 2019, calculated in accordance with Topic 718

The 2019 payout factors used to determine the amounts earned for the Annual EVA® Incentive Compensation Plan and LTCIP for the NEOs are provided in the "2019 Performance Outcome" column under "Elements of Ball's Executive Compensation Program and 2019 Performance."

In addition to these elements of compensation, the table also presents the change in 2019 in the value of pensions payable at age 65 for the NEOs as well as above-market earnings associated with non-qualified deferred compensation. Certain of our predecessor deferred compensation plans provide for an interest rate that is equal to the Moody's Seasoned Corporate Bond Index

("Moody's") and in some plans, an interest rate that is 5 percentage points higher than Moody's, and in others, a fixed interest rate equal to 9%. No additional deferrals are permitted into these plans. Any earnings credited to accounts within plans that provide the Moody's rate plus 5 percentage points and/or the 9% fixed interest that is in excess of above-market earnings that would have been credited at a rate that is 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate have been classified as above-market earnings on deferred compensation.

The "All Other Compensation" column represents the sum of the values of:

§: Perquisites and other personal benefits
§: Corporation contributions to defined contribution plans or deferred compensation plans
§: Corporation-paid insurance premiums
§: Company match of securities purchases pursuant to the Corporation's broad-based Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")

The individual values are disclosed in the "All Other Compensation Table" that follows the "Summary Compensation Table." Details regarding post-employment compensation are discussed in the section entitled "Other Potential Post-Employment Benefits."

Additional information for all is included in the "All Other Compensation Table" below.

The "Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table" summarizes the plan-based awards granted by us to the NEOs during 2019, which includes the following:

§: Annual cash incentives pursuant to the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan for the 2019 performance period
§: Cash-based long-term incentives under the LTCIP for the 2019-2021 three-year performance period
§: Fair value of PC-RSUs for the 2019-2021 three-year performance period and/or other RSUs, calculated in accordance with Topic 718
§: Fair value of Stock Options, calculated in accordance with Topic 718

Awards made under the Annual EVA® Incentive Compensation Plan are determined based on EVA® performance. For the NEOs, awards can range from 0% to 200% of target. Amounts earned in excess of 200% are banked and may be paid over time in one-third increments based on corporate and/or operating unit performance.

Awards under the LTCIP are granted on an annual basis and are determined based on the Corporation's TSR relative to the subset of S&P 500 companies described in the CD&A as well as the Corporation's ROAIC. The award made in 2019 is for the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2019, and ending December 31, 2021.

PC-RSUs were granted to the NEOs in 2019. The awards will cliff vest after the performance period if the Corporation's performance measure and basis for the degree of vesting of the units, which is based on a future target value of absolute EVA® dollars generated in excess of Ball's 9% after-tax hurdle rate as the capital charge, relative to compound growth rate targets is achieved over a three-year period. PC-RSUs awarded in 2019 have a potential outcome to the executive from 0% to 200%. Stock Options were granted to the NEOs in 2019. The awards vest annually in 25% increments starting on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Upon exercise, each NEO can either purchase shares of the Corporation's stock at the grant price or, if the price of the Corporation's stock increases, receive the value of the appreciation over the original grant price in cash.

Dividends or dividend equivalents, for RSUs granted prior to April 26, 2017, are paid quarterly on the number of unvested restricted shares or RSUs accounted for on the record date used for determining dividends payable to shareholders and at the same dividend rate as paid to shareholders. Dividend equivalents related to PC-RSUs granted pursuant to the 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan will be accrued and paid only if the performance condition is achieved and the restrictions on the units lapse. Additionally, dividend equivalents related to all RSUs granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, effective April 26, 2017, are accrued and paid only if the vesting condition is achieved and the restrictions on the units lapse.

The vesting of plan-based awards may be accelerated as described in the narrative to the "Other Potential Post-Employment Benefits Table."

(1): Value realized on vesting is based on the closing stock price on the day the RSUs vested.
(2): Amounts deferred to the 2005 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan upon vesting of stock awards for each NEO were:
: Mr. Hayes—Deferred 146,988 vested RSUs valued at $7,831,773

(3): Value realized on vesting also includes the value of dividend equivalents vested and paid during 2019 on outstanding RSU balances eligible for dividend equivalents on the record date at a dividend rate equal to that paid to the Corporation's common shareholders. Dividend equivalents related to PC-RSUs granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan are accrued and paid only if the performance condition is achieved and the restrictions on the units vest. Dividend equivalents paid during 2019 for each NEO were:
: Mr. Hayes—$196,873
: Mr. Morrison—$50,589
: Mr. Fisher—$21,152
: Ms. Pauley—$27,876

We have four active deferred compensation plans to which eligible participants may make contributions: the 2017 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan for Directors, the 2005 Ball Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, the 2005 Ball Corporation Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan and the 2005 Ball Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors.

§: 2017 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan for Directors—Eligible nonmanagement members of the Corporation's Board may defer payment of a portion or all of their annual fixed cash retainer (inclusive of any committee chair and/or Lead Independent Director fees), annual incentive cash retainer and their eligible RSU awards. Elections to defer this compensation are made annually. Amounts are deferred or credited to a participant account as stock units with each unit having the value equivalent to one share of Ball Corporation common stock, and participants also receive a 20% Corporation match, up to an annual maximum match of $20,000 per year. Dividend equivalents, applicable to any balance denominated in units, are credited to each participant's accounts as of each dividend payment date for the Corporation's common stock. Distributions follow the payment schedule elected by the participant and may commence at a defined point no sooner than six months following separation of service, in the form of a lump sum and/or annual installments ranging between two and 15 years.
§: 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan and 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors—Eligible employee participants may defer payment of a portion or all of their annual incentive compensation, and nonmanagement members of the Corporation's Board may defer a portion or all of their annual cash director fees. Amounts deferred or credited are notionally invested among various investment funds where the return on the participant's balance is determined as if the amounts were invested in those funds. The menu of investment funds consists of 24 mutual fund-like investments. The one-year annual rate of return of the funds ranged from 2.0% to 38.1%, and the three-year average annual rate of return of the funds ranged from 1.4% to 19.5%. Distributions are based on the payment schedule elected by the participant, and may occur in service or commence at a defined point no sooner than six months following separation of service, in the form of either a

: lump sum and/or annual installments ranging between two and 15 years.
§: 2005 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan—Eligible employee participants may defer payment of a portion or all of their annual incentive compensation. Elections to defer annual incentive compensation are made annually. Participants may also elect to defer certain RSU awards. Amounts are deferred or credited to a participant account as stock units with each unit having the value equivalent to one share of Ball Corporation common stock, and participants also receive a 20% Corporation match, up to an annual maximum match of $20,000 per year. Pursuant to specified timing rules, participants may reallocate a prescribed percentage of units to other mutual fund-like investments (the same investments in the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan and 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, above); however, at least 50% of the balance will remain in stock units until retirement. Dividend equivalents, applicable to any balance denominated in units, are credited to each participant's accounts as of each dividend payment date for the Corporation's common stock. Distributions follow the payment schedule elected by the participant and may commence at a defined point no sooner than six months following separation of service, in the form of a lump sum and/or annual installments ranging between two and 15 years. Beginning in 2018, nonmanagement members of the Corporation's Board may not elect to defer to this plan, as it was replaced with the 2017 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan for Directors. Some previous deferral elections exist for certain nonmanagement members of the Corporation's Board which are required to occur under this plan. These limited situations may result in a participant receiving match contributions to the 2005 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan and the 2017 Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan for Directors in the same year.

The basis for investment earnings on prior, frozen plans varies as follows:

§: 2001 Deferred Compensation Plan and 2002 Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors—Balance is notionally invested in mutual fund-like investments (the same investments in the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan and 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, above).

Mr. Strain—$20,000 of the Registrant Contributions is reported as compensation in the "Summary Compensation Table" for fiscal year 2019. The Aggregate Earnings reflects $871,388 based on an increase in value and dividend equivalents on equity accounts.

NEOs receive retirement benefits under a qualified salaried defined benefit pension plan and a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The "Pension Benefits Table" shows each NEO's number of years of credited service, present value of accumulated benefits and payments during fiscal year 2019 for the qualified plan and the SERP. The present value of the accumulated benefit is the December 31, 2019, value of the annual benefit that was earned as of December 31, 2019.

We offer two qualified salaried defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. that provide the same benefits. One plan covers our Aerospace subsidiary's salaried employees and the other covers all other U.S. salaried employees. The NEOs are covered under the latter. The qualified plans were designed to provide tax-qualified pension benefits that are generally available to all U.S. salaried employees. Effective January 1, 2007, we changed the formula by which the accrued pension benefit under the plans is determined. Prior to January 1, 2007, the accrued pension benefit expressed as a monthly annuity payable at age 65 was based on final average salary, covered compensation and years of service. Effective January 1, 2007, the accrued pension benefit is a monthly annuity that is equivalent to a lump sum payable when the participant reaches age 65 calculated on base salary each year, the Social Security Wage Base ("SSWB") and a multiple based on years of service. Payments of accrued benefits earned may be in the form of an annuity, lump sum or a combination of both, depending on the election of the participant at retirement. We also sponsor a non-qualified SERP that mirrors the pension plans and is designed to replace the benefits that would have been provided under the pension plans if they were not subject to IRS-imposed limits. Under the Code, the maximum permissible benefit from the qualified plans for retirement in 2019 is $220,000 and annual compensation exceeding $275,000 in 2019 cannot be considered in computing the maximum permissible benefit under the plans.

Terms for U.S.-Accrued Benefits Prior to January 1, 2007

The monthly accrued benefit for benefits earned prior to January 1, 2007, was determined according to the following formula:

§: 1% times Final Monthly Average Salary plus 0.5% times Final Monthly Average Salary in excess of Covered Compensation times Benefit Service through December 31, 2006, up to a maximum of 35 years, where
§: Salary is defined to be a NEO's monthly base salary excluding bonus and incentive compensation.

Final Monthly Average Salary is calculated based on the highest average for any 60 consecutive months out of the last 120 months through December 31, 2006.

Covered Compensation is an average of the SSWB in effect during a NEO's career. The SSWB is the maximum monthly amount of income on which FICA taxes are due. The years included in the average are the 35 years ending in the year the NEO is eligible for an unreduced social security benefit. This portion of the benefit formula accounts for the fact that social security does not cover earnings over a certain level.

Benefit Service is a NEO's service as a salaried employee with the Corporation plus any service with a predecessor plan as appropriate. Participants are 100% vested in their benefit at the time they are credited with five or more years of service with the Corporation.

Normal retirement age under the plan is 65 with a minimum of five years of benefit service, but a participant may elect to receive payment upon termination or at any time after reaching age 55. Benefits paid before age 65 are subject to reduction based on the age and service at termination. Participants who terminate employment after age 55 with at least ten years of vesting service will receive a reduction of benefit equal to 4% for each year that benefit commencement age precedes age 65 but is greater than age 60, and a 6% reduction for each year that benefit commencement age precedes age 60. Benefits for participants not meeting these requirements are reduced for payment prior to age 65 on an actuarial equivalent basis.

The monthly annuity, which is the equivalent of a lump sum benefit payable at age 65, is based on a percentage of the participant's base pay each year as follows:

The Present Value of Accumulated Benefit reported in the Pension Benefits table is based on the following assumptions, which are consistent with those used for the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements on Ball Corporation's Form 10-K for fiscal year ending December 31, 2019:

This section provides information related to the potential post-employment benefits that could be payable or due to the NEOs under various termination scenarios. Such potential benefits payable or due may result from our obligation to the executive under (1) any existing compensation and benefit plan, policy, practice or program of the Corporation that is generally available to all participants, or (2) under any agreement specifically entered into by the Corporation and the executive.

In general, the compensation and benefit elements provided to employees, including the NEOs, are governed by provisions, terms or procedures of plan documents, policies and practices that define the rights of and the obligations due to the participant in the case of termination of employment. These provisions, terms or procedures apply to all employees, including the NEOs, receiving such compensation or benefit. Such compensation and benefit elements would include annual incentive compensation, long-term cash incentives, long-term equity incentives, retirement benefits and deferred compensation.

We have entered into certain severance benefit and change-in-control agreements with the NEOs which contain provisions that require us to provide post-employment payments or benefits to each executive in the event of termination of employment without cause or termination following a change in control. The respective agreements with the NEOs contain customary noncompete provisions, non-solicitation provisions, non-disparagement provisions and confidentiality covenants, and were amended and restated in 2008 to conform to Code Section 409A. We do not have employment agreements with any of the NEOs. The key provisions, terms or procedures that would apply to the NEOs for the various compensation and benefit elements under various termination scenarios are summarized below. It is followed by another table containing an estimate of the compensation payable or the value of compensation elements due to the NEOs under the various termination scenarios assuming termination was effective at the end of the fiscal year 2019.

A termination without cause will be triggered if the NEO is terminated in either an Actual Termination not for cause or a Constructive Termination. An Actual Termination is any termination by us for reasons other than death or disability or for cause or by the executive for reasons other than Constructive Termination. A Constructive Termination means, in general terms, any significant reduction in duties, compensation or benefits or change of office location from those in effect immediately prior to the change in control, unless agreed to by the executive. Payments associated with a termination following a change in control will be triggered if both of the following two events occur:

With respect to change-in-control agreements executed prior to 2010, in the event benefits are paid because of a change in control and such benefits are subject to Code Section 280G, the Corporation would reimburse the executive for such excise taxes paid, together with taxes incurred as a result of such reimbursement. Beginning in 2010, all newly executed change-in-control agreements do not include excise tax reimbursement.

The following table represents the amounts potentially payable to the NEOs under various termination scenarios. The values assume termination on December 31, 2019, with stock awards and unexercisable stock options benefit values based on the Corporation's December 31, 2019, stock price of $64.67 and performance-based RSUs using a payout at target.

The following ratio compares the total annual compensation of our median employee with the total annual compensation of Mr. Hayes, our CEO. The pay ratio included below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (the "pay ratio rule").

The total annual compensation of our median employee, not including our CEO, was $93,903. This total compensation amount includes salary paid in the fiscal year, bonuses, non-equity incentive plan compensation (even if paid in the following fiscal year), change in pension value, company contributions to defined contribution plans and other required compensation per Summary Compensation Table disclosure rules. The total annual compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $11,855,919. For 2019, the ratio of the total annual compensation of our CEO to the total annual compensation of our median employee was 126 to 1.

For purposes of the above disclosure, we are required to identify our median employee based upon our total, global workforce. To identify our median-paid employee, from our total, global workforce, we used the following:

The Audit Committee of the Corporation's Board consists of non-employee directors who are independent under the NYSE Listing Standards and SEC rules.

Management is responsible for the Corporation's

§: accounting policies
§: system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting
§: disclosure controls and procedures
§: performance of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent auditor
§: Internal Audit Department
§: compliance with laws, regulations and applicable ethical business standards

The independent auditor is responsible for performing an audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and issuing a report thereon as well as issuing an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee the internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and to engage and evaluate the independent auditor. Management has represented to the Committee that the financial statements for the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2019, were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed those financial statements with management and the independent auditor. The Committee has also

discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the Statement of Auditing Standards, as amended, the PCAOB Auditing Standards and the NYSE Listing Standards.

The Corporation's independent auditor provided to the Committee on a quarterly basis the written disclosures and letter required by PCAOB Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence. The Committee has discussed with the independent auditor that firm's independence and that firm's internal quality control procedures, peer reviews and any investigations or inquiries by governmental or professional authorities disclosed by the independent auditor.

Based upon the Committee's review and discussion with management and the independent auditor, the representations of management and the disclosures and letter of the independent auditor (as required by PCAOB Rule 3526), the Committee recommended to the Board that the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10 K, including managements and the independent auditor's opinion of the Corporation's effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, be filed with the SEC.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the following members of the Audit Committee:

Cathy D. Ross
John A. Bryant
Michael J. Cave
Daniel J. Heinrich
Todd A. Penegor

Pursuant to our Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the Indiana Business Corporation Law, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with directors serving staggered three-year terms. Amendments to the Indiana Business Corporation Law in 2009 made this classified Board structure statutorily required for Ball Corporation, effective from and after July 31, 2009. On April 29, 2020, four persons are to be elected to serve as directors until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Unless otherwise instructed on the accompanying proxy, the persons named in the proxy intend to vote for nominees John A. Hayes, Cathy D. Ross, Betty Sapp and Stuart A. Taylor II to hold office as directors of the Corporation until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (Class II), or, in each case, until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified. Each of the nominees has consented to be named as a candidate in the Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. If, for any reason, any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for any substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.

Under the Corporation's Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended, in an uncontested election, which is the case at this Annual Meeting, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. If more "against" than "for" votes are received, the Corporation's Bylaws require the director to tender his or her resignation and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must make a recommendation to the Board to consider whether to accept the resignation. The relevant Bylaw provisions are set out in Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. For this vote, abstentions and broker nonvotes are considered neither votes "for" nor "against" and will not affect the outcome of the vote. Proxies may not be voted for a greater number of persons than the four named nominees.

Set forth for each director nominee in Class II and for each continuing director in Classes I and III is the director's principal occupation and employment during the past five years or, if longer, the period during which the director has served as a director, and certain other information, including his or her public company directorships during the past five years.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to our shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if desired, as well as to respond to appropriate questions.

To approve the selection of auditors, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, more votes must be cast "for" the proposal than are cast "against" it. For this vote, abstentions are considered neither votes "for" nor "against" and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

In the event shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different registered independent public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and that of our shareholders.

We are asking our shareholders to provide advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs, as we have described it in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement. We are seeking this approval pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. While this vote is advisory and is not binding on us, it will provide useful information to our management team and our Human Resources Committee regarding our shareholders' views about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. The Committee will be able to consider these views when determining executive compensation for the balance of 2020 and beyond. Following is a summary of some of the key points of our 2019 executive compensation program.

►: Please see the "Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section for more information.

Our executive compensation program has been designed to implement certain core compensation principles, including alignment of management's interests with shareholder interests to support long-term value creation and pay-for-performance. In the course of establishing the 2019 compensation program and awarding compensation, and after reviewing data and analyses regarding comparable market compensation our management team and our Human Resources Committee determined the use of performance-based incentives to motivate our NEOs to achieve current and long-term business goals. Our management team and the Committee received advice and counsel on the program from an independent consultant, which provided no other services to us other than those provided directly to or on behalf of the Committee.

We filed a Supplemental Proxy dated March 22, 2019 which committed to a thorough evaluation of our long-term practice of implementing special acquisition incentive plans ("SAIPs") related to ongoing pay programs

and whether SAIPs should be used in the future, and if so, who would be eligible for the SAIP. In support of the evaluation process, the Human Resources Committee took the following steps:

§: In April 2019, the Chair of the Human Resources Committee and members of our management team engaged with the certain institutional investors that expressed concerns about the SAIP program to ensure our understanding of their concerns;
§: Reviewed a report from our independent compensation Consultant on recent market practices of acquisition-related incentives including prevalence, eligibility and opportunities across the S&P 500; and
§: Discussed the outcomes of prior SAIP awards, the role the awards played in driving efficient integration of acquisiions and the perceived value of programs for participating employees.

During the October 2019 meeting of the Human Resources Committee, the following decisions were made regarding SAIP awards:

§: The Committee will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of granting an SAIP award on a case-by-case basis after understanding the specific circumstances related to the acquistion and the proposed program participants; and
§: The Committee, as a general practice, has no intention of approving participation of the CEO in any future SAIP programs.

No SAIP awards were granted in either 2018 or 2019. Based on the above, we believe any issues raised by shareholders concerning the 2018 Say-on-Pay vote have been addressed.

Our NEOs' 2019 compensation consisted primarily of the following components which includes base salary, annual EVA® incentive plan awards, LTCIP and awarded value of stock options and PC-RSUs (in addition to the retirement, health and welfare plans and programs in which all of our full-time employees participate, as well as limited perquisites).


Compensation Component	Compensation Element	Purpose	2019 Actions

SHORT-TERM ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION	Annual Base Salary	Fixed element of pay based on an individual's primary duties and responsibilities	Adjustments reflected increases consistent with the Corporation's merit budget and movement towards market practices; competitive benchmarking applied

	EVA® Annual Incentive Compensation Plan	Designed to reward achievement of specified annual corporate and/or operating unit financial goals	Payments reflect positive financial results achieved in 2019

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (CASH)	LTCIP	Designed to promote long term creation of shareholder value in relative and absolute terms	Payments reflect strong and positive ROAIC and stock performance over the 3-year period ending December 31, 2019

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (EQUITY)	Stock Options	Designed to promote stock ownership and long term performance resulting in the creation of shareholder value	Awards provided in 2019; competitive benchmarking applied

	PC-RSUs	Designed to promote stock ownership through the achievement of absolute EVA® dollar growth over a 3-year period	Awards provided in 2019; competitive benchmarking applied

	Restricted Stock/RSUs	Designed to promote stock ownership, provide a retention incentive and incentivize the creation of shareholder value	No awards provided to NEOs in 2019

	DSP	Designed to promote financial investment in the Corporation, promote stock ownership and incentivize the creation of shareholder value	No new opportunities were awarded to NEOs in 2019

We believe our 2019 executive compensation program reflects best practices and was designed to balance risk and reward. We focus on pay-for-performance in establishing our executive compensation program and setting the plans' performance metrics. With input from an independent consultant, our Human Resources Committee continued to apply competitive benchmarking (pay and performance) in 2019 relative to the unique structure and needs of the Corporation. Our program seeks to mitigate risks related to compensation and align management's interests with shareholders' interests in long-term value creation.

Why am I receiving the Proxy Statement? You are receiving the Proxy Statement because you owned shares of Ball Corporation common stock on March 5, 2020, the record date, and that entitles you to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Corporation's Board of Directors ("Board") is soliciting your proxy to vote at the scheduled 2020 Annual Meeting or at any later meeting should the scheduled Annual Meeting be adjourned or postponed for any reason. Your proxy will authorize specified people (proxies) to vote on your behalf at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your written instructions. By use of a proxy, you can vote, whether or not you attend the meeting.

What will I be voting on? You will be voting on (1) the election of four director nominees named in this Proxy Statement for terms expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders; (2) the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for 2020; and (3) an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers.

What are the Board of Directors' recommendations? The Board recommends a vote (1) FOR the election of the four director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; (2) FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for 2020; and (3) FOR the advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting? We do not know of any other matters that will be raised at the Annual Meeting. The Chairman will allow presentation of a proposal or a nomination for the Board from the floor at the Annual Meeting only if the proposal or nomination was properly submitted. The proxies will have discretionary authority, to the extent permitted by law, to vote for or against other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting as those persons deem advisable.

How many votes can be cast by all shareholders? Each share of Ball Corporation common stock is entitled to one vote on each of the four directors to be elected and one vote on each other matter that is properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote my shares if I am a record holder? If you are a record holder of shares; that is, the shares are registered in your name and not the name of your broker or other nominee, you are urged to submit your proxy as soon as possible, so that your shares can be voted at the meeting in accordance with your instructions. You may submit your proxy by telephone or via the Internet as instructed on page 2 of the Proxy Statement and on your proxy card, or you can complete, sign, date and mail your proxy card if you request a paper copy of the proxy materials. You may also vote by attending the Annual Meeting, or sending a personal representative to the Annual Meeting with an appropriate proxy, in order to vote. Unless you or a personal representative plan to be in attendance and vote at the meeting, your vote must be received no later than 11:59 P.M. (EDT) on Tuesday, April 28, 2020.

How do I vote my shares if I hold my shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") or the 401(k) Plan? Participants may vote their shares in the manner set forth above; however, shares held through the ESPP or the 401(k) Plan must be voted by 11:59 P.M. (EDT) on Sunday, April 26, 2020. The Trustee of the 401(k) Plan will vote the unvoted shares for each voting item in the same proportion as the voted shares for each item. The Administrator of the ESPP will vote the unvoted shares for that Plan in accordance with the Board of Directors' recommendations.

How do I vote my shares if I hold my shares in "street name" through a bank or broker? If you hold your shares as a beneficial owner through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like at the meeting. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you specific instructions in this regard to vote your shares. If you do not provide instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, whether your shares are voted depends on the type of item being considered for a vote. For example, under applicable stock exchange rules, brokers are permitted to vote on "discretionary" items if the voting instructions from the beneficial owners of the shares are not provided in a timely manner. Brokers are not permitted to vote on "nondiscretionary" items. The

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Proxy Statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Proxy Statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. This could be applicable to you if you request a paper copy of these proxy materials after you receive notice of Internet access to the proxy materials.

A number of brokers with account holders who are shareholders may be householding our proxy materials, to the extent such shareholders have given their prior express or implied consent in accordance with SEC rules. A single Proxy Statement and Annual Report will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the

In an uncontested election of directors of the corporation, any nominee who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" his or her election will, within ten (10) days following the certification of the shareholder vote, tender his or her written resignation to the chairman of the board for consideration by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee"). As used in this Section C, an "uncontested election of directors of the corporation" is an election in which the only nominees are persons nominated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

The Committee will consider such tendered resignation and, within sixty (60) days following the certification of the shareholder vote, will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors concerning the acceptance or rejection of such resignation. In determining its recommendation to the Board, the Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant by the members of the Committee.

The Committee also will consider a range of possible alternatives concerning the director's tendered resignation as the members of the Committee deem appropriate, including, without limitation, acceptance of the resignation, rejection of the resignation or rejection of the resignation coupled with a commitment to seek to address and cure the underlying reasons reasonably believed by the Committee to have substantially resulted in the "withheld" votes.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation will take formal action on the Committee's recommendation no later than ninety-five (95) days following the certification of the shareholder vote. In considering the Committee's recommendation, the Board will consider the information, factors and alternatives considered by the Committee and such additional information, factors and alternatives as the Board deems relevant.

Following the Board's decision on the Committee's recommendation, the corporation, within four (4) business days after such decision is made, will publicly disclose, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board's decision, together with an explanation of the process by which the decision was made and, if applicable, the Board's reason or reasons for its decision.

No director who, in accordance with this Section C, is required to tender his or her resignation, shall participate in the Committee's deliberations or recommendation, or in the Board's deliberations or determination, with respect to accepting or rejecting his or her resignation as a director. If a majority of the members of the Committee received a greater number of votes "withheld" from their election than votes "for" their election, then the independent directors then serving on the Board of Directors who received a greater number of votes "for" their election than votes "withheld" from their election, and the directors, if any, who were not standing for election, will appoint an ad hoc Board Committee from among themselves (the "Ad Hoc Committee"), consisting of such number of directors as they may determine to be appropriate, solely for the purpose of considering and making a recommendation to the Board with respect to the tendered resignations. The Ad Hoc Committee shall serve in place of the Committee and perform the Committee's duties for purposes of this Section C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Ad Hoc Committee would have been created but fewer than three directors would be eligible to serve on it, the entire Board of Directors (other than the director whose resignation is being considered) will make the determination to accept or reject the tendered resignation without any recommendation from the Committee and without the creation of an Ad Hoc Committee.

2019 Performance Achievement

2019 Pay Outcome

ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION

Economic Value Added ("EVA®") Annual Incentive Plan

For Ball's Consolidated Plan, the actual EVA® generated in excess of Ball's internal 9% after-tax hurdle rate for fiscal year 2019 of $216.9 million was slightly below our $227.4 million EVA® incentive plan target by $10.5 million. The actual EVA® generated in the Global Beverage Packaging business was also below the EVA® incentive plan target and the actual EVA® generated in Aerospace business significantly exceeded its EVA® incentive plan target.

Resulted in an award of 94% of target for all NEOs, except Mr. Fisher, whose payout was 86%, and Mr. Strain, whose payout was 261% (capped at 200% with remainder banked; see "Annual Incentive" section of CD&A for more details). Mr. Fisher and Mr. Strain's targets were based on a combination of their respective operating units' financial and EVA® goals and the Corporation's consolidated plan.
