ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) took several actions with respect to executive compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Executive
Management Incentive Plan </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Compensation Committee approved the ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. FY2014 Executive Management
Incentive Plan (the &#147;Bonus Plan&#148;). The Bonus Plan is designed to recognize and reward the achievement of financial, business and management goals that are essential to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Bonus Plan relates
to the Company&#146;s fiscal year ending July&nbsp;31, 2014. The Bonus Plan covers certain executive officers of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Target bonus percentages (the &#147;Payout Percentage&#148;) for participating
executive officers (the &#147;Participants&#148;) are set forth below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Performance under the Bonus Plan will be measured based upon the
Company&#146;s fiscal 2014 results for Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials and Cash Conversion Cycle, each as defined in the Bonus Plan and according to the threshold, target and maximum performance level for each metric set forth
below.&nbsp;A percentage of each Participant&#146;s Payout Percentage will be allocated to each of the relevant components for that Participant on a 70%, 15%, 15% basis among Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials and Cash Conversion Cycle,
respectively. An individual performance factor between 0.5 and 1.5 (inclusive) will also influence the payout amount.&nbsp;The individual performance factor will be determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer for each Participant and by
the Committee for the President and Chief Executive Officer, based on the Participant&#146;s performance against goals to be developed with such Participant.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event that Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials or Cash Conversion Cycle performance exceeds target levels, the related payout
shall be subject to an accelerator which may result in payment of up to two times the participant&#146;s target bonus provided that the performance reaches a stated maximum amount. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Participant&#146;s Payout Amount will be calculated by multiplying for each component (A)&nbsp;the Payout Percentage, by (B)&nbsp;the weight
percentage associated with each component, by (C)&nbsp;the achievement level for such component, by (D)&nbsp;the accelerator, if any, by (E)&nbsp;the Participant&#146;s base salary; and then adding the resulting amounts. This amount will then be
multiplied by the individual performance factor, resulting in the actual payout to the Participant.&nbsp;If the employee&#146;s Payout Percentage changes during the Fiscal Year, the bonus payout will be pro-rated as follows:&nbsp;The new Payout
Percentage will apply to the number of full months at the new percentage.&nbsp;The previous Payout Percentage will apply to the prior months. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Compensation Committee established the ModusLink Global Solutions FY2014 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (the
&#147;Restricted Stock Bonus Plan&#148;), for the issuance of performance-based restricted shares of the Company&#146;s common stock to each of the Company&#146;s executive officers and other senior executives. The award of restricted shares of
common stock under this plan is contingent upon the Company&#146;s achievement of certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined under the Bonus Plan) for fiscal 2014, and is subject to additional awards based on the level of revenue achieved by the
Company in fiscal 2014, as discussed in more detail below. No awards will be made under the plan if a minimum level of Adjusted EBITDA is not achieved. If the threshold level is achieved, participants will receive an award beginning at the threshold
level or greater, as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Awards would be made, if at all, on the third business day following the day the Company publicly
releases its financial results for the fiscal year ending July&nbsp;31, 2014. Any awards of restricted shares under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan would vest in three equal installments, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant
date provided the recipient remains employed by the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, on each such vesting date. Below are the awards which would be made if the performance criteria are met, for each executive officer, subject to a straight
line sliding scale between the threshold and target levels, and if between Target and Maximum, award calculation shall be consistent with the accelerator under the FY2014 Executive Management Incentive Plan: </P>

(e)
On November 5, 2013, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of
ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") took several actions with respect to executive compensation.
Executive
Management Incentive Plan
The Compensation Committee approved the ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. FY2014 Executive Management
Incentive Plan (the "Bonus Plan"). The Bonus Plan is designed to recognize and reward the achievement of financial, business and management goals that are essential to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Bonus Plan relates
to the Company's fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. The Bonus Plan covers certain executive officers of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Target bonus percentages (the "Payout Percentage") for participating
executive officers (the "Participants") are set forth below.
Performance under the Bonus Plan will be measured based upon the
Company's fiscal 2014 results for Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials and Cash Conversion Cycle, each as defined in the Bonus Plan and according to the threshold, target and maximum performance level for each metric set forth
below. A percentage of each Participant's Payout Percentage will be allocated to each of the relevant components for that Participant on a 70%, 15%, 15% basis among Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials and Cash Conversion Cycle,
respectively. An individual performance factor between 0.5 and 1.5 (inclusive) will also influence the payout amount. The individual performance factor will be determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer for each Participant and by
the Committee for the President and Chief Executive Officer, based on the Participant's performance against goals to be developed with such Participant.
In the event that Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue Excluding Materials or Cash Conversion Cycle performance exceeds target levels, the related payout
shall be subject to an accelerator which may result in payment of up to two times the participant's target bonus provided that the performance reaches a stated maximum amount.
A Participant's Payout Amount will be calculated by multiplying for each component (A) the Payout Percentage, by (B) the weight
percentage associated with each component, by (C) the achievement level for such component, by (D) the accelerator, if any, by (E) the Participant's base salary; and then adding the resulting amounts. This amount will then be
multiplied by the individual performance factor, resulting in the actual payout to the Participant. If the employee's Payout Percentage changes during the Fiscal Year, the bonus payout will be pro-rated as follows: The new Payout
Percentage will apply to the number of full months at the new percentage. The previous Payout Percentage will apply to the prior months.
The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Bonus Plan filed as an exhibit hereto, which exhibit is
incorporated herein by reference.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Bonus Plan
The Compensation Committee established the ModusLink Global Solutions FY2014 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (the
"Restricted Stock Bonus Plan"), for the issuance of performance-based restricted shares of the Company's common stock to each of the Company's executive officers and other senior executives. The award of restricted shares of
common stock under this plan is contingent upon the Company's achievement of certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined under the Bonus Plan) for fiscal 2014, and is subject to additional awards based on the level of revenue achieved by the
Company in fiscal 2014, as discussed in more detail below. No awards will be made under the plan if a minimum level of Adjusted EBITDA is not achieved. If the threshold level is achieved, participants will receive an award beginning at the threshold
level or greater, as described below.
Awards would be made, if at all, on the third business day following the day the Company publicly
releases its financial results for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. Any awards of restricted shares under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan would vest in three equal installments, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant
date provided the recipient remains employed by the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, on each such vesting date. Below are the awards which would be made if the performance criteria are met, for each executive officer, subject to a straight
line sliding scale between the threshold and target levels, and if between Target and Maximum, award calculation shall be consistent with the accelerator under the FY2014 Executive Management Incentive Plan:
