MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

In this Management Information Circular (the "Circular"), unless otherwise noted, all information is given as of February 15, 2017 and all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. Unless stated otherwise, all references to "U.S.$" or "$" are to U.S. dollars and all references to "C$" are to Canadian dollars. Unless otherwise indicated, any reference in this Circular to a conversion between U.S.$ and C$ is a conversion at the average of the exchange rates in effect for 2016. During that period, based on the relevant 2016 noon buying rates in New York City for cable transfers in Canadian dollars, as certified for customs purposes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the average exchange rate was $1.00 = C$1.3243.

HOW DO I EXERCISE MY VOTE (AND BY WHEN)?

A.
If you are a registered shareholder, you may exercise your right to vote by attending and voting your shares in person at the Meeting, by mailing in the attached form of proxy or by voting by telephone or internet.

Non-registered shareholders should refer toQuestions and Answers on Voting and Proxies — How Do I Vote If I Am a Non-Registered Shareholder?Q.
WHAT IF I SIGN THE FORM OF PROXY ENCLOSED WITH THIS CIRCULAR?

A.
Signing the form of proxy gives authority to Mr. William A. Etherington or Mr. Robert A. Mionis or their designees (the "Proxy Nominees"), to vote your shares at the Meeting, unless you give authority to another person to vote your shares by providing that person's name on the form of proxy.

Q.
CAN I APPOINT SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE FORM OF PROXY ENCLOSED WITH THIS CIRCULAR TO VOTE MY SHARES AT THE MEETING?

A.
Yes, you may appoint an individual or company (such individual or authorized representative of such company shall be referred to herein as a "Designee") to represent you at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy . Write the name of the Designee of your choice in the blank space provided in the form of proxy. The Designee whom you choose need not be a shareholder.

Please ensure that the Designee you have appointed is attending the Meeting and is aware that he or she will be voting your shares. Proxyholders should speak to a representative of Computershare upon arriving at the Meeting.Q.
HOW WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED AT THE MEETING IF I GIVE MY PROXY?

A.
On any ballot that may be called for, the shares represented by a properly executed proxy given in favour of the Proxy Nominees in the enclosed form of proxy will be voted for or against or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given on the ballot. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

​ 	​ 2	​ 	

Q.
IF I CHANGE MY MIND, CAN I TAKE BACK MY PROXY ONCE I HAVE GIVEN IT?

A.
Yes, you may revoke any proxy that you have given at any time prior to its use at the Meeting for which it was given or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, you may revoke the proxy by preparing a written statement, signed by you or your attorney, as authorized, or if the proxy is given on behalf of a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of such corporation, and deposited with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, prior to the proxy being voted, or by transmitting, by telephonic or electronic means, a revocation signed by electronic signature by you or by your attorney, who is authorized in writing, to the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, at which the proxy is to be used.

Note that your participation in person in a vote by ballot at the Meeting will automatically revoke any proxy previously given by you regarding business considered by that vote.Q.
WHAT IF AMENDMENTS ARE MADE TO THE SCHEDULED MATTERS OR IF OTHER MATTERS ARE BROUGHT BEFORE THE MEETING?

A.
The accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Proxy Nominees in respect of any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation's management was not aware of any such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any amendments, variations or other matters that are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, the shares represented by proxies in favour of the Proxy Nominees will be voted on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.Q.
HOW DO I VOTE IF I AM A NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER?

A.
A shareholder is a non-registered shareholder (or beneficial owner) if (i) an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, trustee or administrator of a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan, registered disability savings plan or tax-free savings account), or (ii) a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation), of which the intermediary is a participant (in each case, an " Intermediary "), holds the shareholder's shares on behalf of the shareholder.

In accordance withNational Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer of the Canadian Securities Administrators (" NI 54-101 "), the Corporation is distributing copies of materials related to the Meeting to Intermediaries for distribution to non-registered shareholders and such Intermediaries are to forward the materials related to the Meeting to each non-registered shareholder (unless the non-registered shareholder has declined to receive such materials). Such Intermediaries often use a service company (such as Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions (" Broadridge ")), to permit the non-registered shareholder to direct the voting of the shares held by the Intermediary on behalf of the non-registered shareholder. The Corporation is paying Broadridge to deliver, on behalf of the Intermediaries, a copy of the materials related to the Meeting to each "non-objecting beneficial owner" and each "objecting beneficial owner" (as those terms are defined in NI 54-101).

If you are a non-registered shareholder, the Intermediary holding your shares should provide a voting instruction form. In order to cast your vote, you must follow the instructions on the voting instruction form to vote by telephone or internet, or complete, sign and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions, and within the timeline (which will likely be earlier than 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on Tuesday, April 18, 2017), set forth therein. This form will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must
​ 	​ 3	​ 	

follow. Alternatively, the Intermediary may provide you with a signed form of proxy. In this case, you do not need to sign the form of proxy, but should complete it and forward it directly to Computershare.

As a non-registered holder, if your shares are held through a broker who is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and you do not return the voting instruction form, your broker will not have the discretion to vote your shares on any "non-routine" matters, as defined under NYSE rules. Therefore, it is important that you instruct your broker or other Intermediary how to vote your shares.  If such broker doesn't receive voting instructions as to a non-routine proposal (all proposals, other than the proposal to appoint the auditor for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix the auditor's remuneration, are "non-routine" matters under NYSE rules), a "broker non-vote" with respect to such shares occurs, and such shares will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the non-routine proposal.

Should you, as a non-registered shareholder, wish to attend the Meeting and vote your shares in person, or have another person attend and vote your shares on your behalf, you should fill in your own name or the name of your appointee, as the case may be, in the space provided on the form of proxy. An Intermediary's voting instruction form will likely provide corresponding instructions as to how to cast your vote in person. In any case, you should carefully follow the instructions provided by the Intermediary and contact the Intermediary promptly if you require assistance.

If you vote by mail and would subsequently like to change your vote (whether by revoking a voting instruction or by revoking a proxy), you should contact the Intermediary to discuss whether this is possible and, if so, what procedures you should follow.Q.
HOW CAN I CONTACT THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND CHAIR?

A.
You may contact the independent directors, including the Chair of the Corporation, with the assistance of Celestica Investor Relations. Shareholders or other interested persons can send a letter, e-mail or fax c/o Celestica Investor Relations to the following coordinates:

Less than 1%.
(1)
The number of shares beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by Onex Corporation ("Onex") includes 945,010 MVS held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex. 1,170,208 of such MVS are subject to options granted to certain officers of Onex pursuant to certain management investment plans of Onex, which options may be exercised upon specified dispositions by Onex (directly or indirectly) of Celestica's securities, with respect to which Onex has the right to vote or direct the vote (" MIP Options "), including 688,807 MIP Options granted to Gerald W. Schwartz (each of which MVS will, upon exercise of such options, be automatically converted into an SVS).
(2)
The number of shares beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Schwartz consists of 120,657 SVS owned by a company controlled by Mr. Schwartz and all of the 18,946,368 MVS and 414,621 SVS beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by Onex, including the 1,170,208 MVS subject to MIP Options (which include 688,807 MIP Options granted to Mr. Schwartz), all as described in footnote 1 above. Mr. Schwartz was a director of the Corporation until his retirement effective December 31, 2016 in accordance with the Board's retirement policy. Mr. Schwartz remains the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Onex. In addition, he owns multiple voting shares of Onex carrying the right to elect a majority of the Onex board of directors. Accordingly, under applicable securities laws, Mr. Schwartz is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Celestica shares owned by Onex; Mr. Schwartz has advised the Corporation, however, that he disclaims any rights of such beneficial ownership of the shares held by Onex.
(3)
The number of shares reported as held by Letko, Brosseau & Associates Inc. ("Letko") is based on the Schedule 13G/A it filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2017, reporting ownership as of December 31, 2016.

Agreement for the Benefit of Holders of SVS

Onex, which beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding MVS, has entered into an agreement with the Corporation and with Computershare Trust Company of Canada (as successor to the Montreal Trust Company of Canada), as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the SVS, for the purpose of ensuring that the holders of the SVS will not be deprived of rights under applicable provincial take-over bid legislation to which they would be otherwise entitled in the event of a take-over bid (as that term is defined in applicable securities legislation) for the MVS if the MVS had been SVS. Subject to certain permitted forms of sale, such as identical or better offers to all holders of SVS, Onex has agreed that it, and any of its affiliates that may hold MVS from time to time, will not sell any MVS, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a take-over bid (as that term is defined under applicable securities legislation) under circumstances in which any applicable
​ 	​ 5	​ 	

securities legislation would have required the same offer or a follow-up offer to be made to holders of SVS if the sale had been a sale of SVS rather than MVS, but otherwise on the same terms.

The articles of the Corporation provide "coat-tail" protection to the holders of the SVS by providing that the MVS will be converted automatically into SVS upon any transfer thereof, except (a) a transfer to Onex or any affiliate of Onex, or (b) a transfer of 100% of the outstanding MVS to a purchaser who also has offered to purchase all of the outstanding SVS for a per share consideration identical to, and otherwise on the same terms as, that offered for the MVS, and the MVS held by such purchaser thereafter shall be subject to the provisions relating to conversion (including with respect to the provisions described in this paragraph) as if all references to Onex were references to such purchaser. In addition, if (a) any holder of any MVS ceases to be an affiliate of Onex, or (b) Onex and its affiliates cease to have the right, in all cases, to exercise the votes attached to, or to direct the voting of, any of the MVS held by Onex and its affiliates, such MVS shall convert automatically into SVS on a one-for-one basis. For these purposes, (a) "Onex" includes any successor corporation resulting from an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other business combination or reorganization involving Onex, provided that such successor corporation beneficially owns directly or indirectly all MVS beneficially owned directly or indirectly by Onex immediately prior to such transaction and is controlled by the same person or persons as controlled Onex prior to the consummation of such transaction, (b) a corporation shall be deemed to be a subsidiary of another corporation if, but only if (i) it is controlled by that other, or that other and one or more corporations each of which is controlled by that other, or two or more corporations each of which is controlled by that other, or (ii) it is a subsidiary of a corporation that is that other's subsidiary, (c) "affiliate" means a subsidiary of Onex or a corporation controlled by the same person or company that controls Onex, and (d) "control" means beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, securities carrying more than 50% of the votes that may be cast to elect directors if those votes, if cast, could elect more than 50% of the directors. For these purposes, a person is deemed to beneficially own any security which is beneficially owned by a corporation controlled by such person. In addition, if at any time the number of outstanding MVS shall represent less than 5% of the aggregate number of the outstanding MVS and SVS, all of the outstanding MVS shall be automatically converted at such time into SVS on a one-for-one basis.
INFORMATION RELATING TO OUR DIRECTORS	
Election of Directors

The ten individuals listed herein are being recommended for election as directors of the Corporation, as the current term of office for each director expires at the close of the Meeting. If elected, they will hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed, unless such office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Corporation's by-laws. All of the proposed nominees are currently directors of the Corporation. The articles of the Corporation provide for a minimum of three and a maximum of twenty directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to set the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting and has set that number at ten.

The Board has a retirement policy which provides that, unless the Board authorizes an exception, a director shall not stand for re-election after his or her 75 th  birthday. During 2016, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the composition of the Board in anticipation of two Board members, Messrs. Etherington (Chair) and Schwartz, reaching retirement age. On July 21, 2016, Mr. Natale was appointed Vice-Chair of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee began the process of identifying potential new directors and an ad hoc  committee comprised of Messrs. Etherington and Natale was created (the " Director Search Committee "). A preferred candidate profile was developed based on the qualifications, experience, diversity and expertise determined to be best suited to fill any gaps and in adherence with the Corporation's policy with respect to the identification and nomination of women directors. Candidates were identified with the assistance of a director search firm and suitable candidates were interviewed by the members of the Director Search Committee. Mr. Gross was identified through this process and was appointed to the Board effective November 1, 2016. He is standing for election by shareholders for the first time at the Meeting. In accordance
​ 	​ 6	​ 	

with the retirement policy, Mr. Schwartz retired from the Board effective December 31, 2016 and Tawfiq Popatia, an officer of Onex, was appointed as his replacement effective January 1, 2017. Mr. Popatia is standing for election by shareholders for the first time at the Meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the application of the retirement policy to Mr. Etherington. After consideration of all of the aforementioned changes to the composition of the Board, as well as the fact that Mr. Mionis completed his first full fiscal year as President and Chief Executive Officer (" CEO ") during 2016, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an exception to its retirement policy for Mr. Etherington to provide an element of continuity during this period of transition. In accordance with the exception, Mr. Etherington is standing for re-election by shareholders as Chair of the Board at the Meeting. See Statement of Corporate Governance Practices — Nomination and Election of Directors and — Retirement Policy and Term Limits  in Schedule A to this Circular.

Unless authority to do so is withheld, shares represented by proxies in favour of the Proxy Nominees will be voted in favour of each of the proposed nominees listed below for election as directors. Management of the Corporation does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable, or for any reason unwilling, to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to their election, the Proxy Nominees may, in their discretion, nominate and vote for another nominee.
Majority Voting Policy	
The Board has adopted a policy that requires, in an uncontested election of directors, that shareholders be able to vote in favour of, or to withhold from voting, separately for each director nominee. If, with respect to any particular nominee, other than the controlling shareholder or a representative of the controlling shareholder, the number of shares withheld from voting by shareholders other than the controlling shareholder and its associates exceeds the number of shares that are voted in favour of the nominee, by shareholders other than the controlling shareholder and its associates, then the Board shall determine, and in so doing shall give due weight to the rights of the controlling shareholder, whether to require the nominee to resign from the Board and, if so required, any such nominee shall immediately tender his or her resignation. The Board shall accept such resignation absent exceptional circumstances. Such a determination by the Board shall be made, and announced by press release, within 90 days after the applicable shareholders' meeting. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the press release will state the reasons for such decision. Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may leave any resultant vacancy unfilled until the next annual shareholders' meeting or it may fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director whom the Board considers would merit the confidence of the shareholders, or it may call a special meeting of shareholders at which there shall be presented a nominee or nominees to fill the vacant position or positions. See Statement of Corporate Governance Practices — Nomination and Election of Directors — Election of Directors  in Schedule A to this Circular.
Nominees for Election as Director	
The following tables set out certain information with respect to the nominees, including their municipalities of residence; their ages; the year from which each has continuously served as a director of the Corporation; all positions and offices held by them with the Corporation or any of its significant affiliates; their present principal occupations, businesses and employments; and other public corporations of which they are directors. There are no contracts, arrangements or understandings between any director or executive officer or any other person pursuant to which any one of the nominees has been nominated.

Director Compensation

Director compensation is set by the Board on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and in accordance with director compensation guidelines and principles established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Under these guidelines and principles, the Board seeks to maintain director compensation at a level that is competitive with director compensation at comparable companies, and requires a substantial portion of such compensation to be taken in the form of DSUs. As part of the Compensation Committee's 2015 competitive review of director compensation, the Compensation Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson (the " Compensation Consultant ") to provide competitive market information on director compensation policies and practices (see  Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Objectives — Independent Advice  for a discussion regarding the role of the Compensation Consultant). As a result of this review, certain amendments to director compensation and the Directors' Share Compensation Plan were approved, effective January 1, 2016 by the Compensation Committee and the Board. Significant changes to the fee structure were then made in order to align director compensation with competitive market practices, including the elimination of an on-hire DSU grant for directors and the combination of the annual board retainer, annual DSU grant and separate per day board and committee fees to create an inclusive annual retainer. The director fee structure for 2016 is set forth in Table 2 below.

 DSU Election (7)	​	 	​	Directors must elect to be paid either 100% or 75% of their aggregate annual retainers (including committee Chair retainers) and travel fees in the form of DSUs	​	 	
(1)
Does not include Mr. Mionis, President and CEO of the Corporation, whose compensation is set out in Table 16 of this Circular. Does not include fees payable to Onex for the service of Mr. Schwartz (until December 31, 2016) or Mr. Popatia (commencing January 1, 2017) as a director, which is described in footnote 10 to Table 3 of this Circular.
(2)
Directors may also receive further retainers and meeting fees for participation onad hoc committees. No fees were paid for participation on the Director Search Committee during 2016. The Board has the discretion to grant supplemental equity awards to individual directors as deemed appropriate (no such discretion was exercised in 2016).
(3)
Paid on a quarterly basis.
(4)
Mr. Natale was appointed Vice-Chair of the Board effective July 21, 2016. He does not receive an additional retainer in his capacity as Vice-Chair.
(5)
The travel fee is available only to directors who travel outside of their home state or province to attend a Board or Committee meeting.
(6)
The Chair of the Board also served as the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in 2016, for which no additional fee was paid.
(7)
Credited on a quarterly basis. The number of DSUs granted are calculated by dividing the notional cash amount for the quarter by the closing price of SVS on the NYSE on the last business day of such quarter. If no election is made, 100% of a director's aggregate annual retainer and travel fees will be paid in DSUs.

Subject to the terms of the Directors' Share Compensation Plan, each DSU represents the right to receive one SVS or an equivalent value in cash (at the Corporation's discretion) when the director (a) ceases to be a director of the Corporation and (b) is not an employee of the Corporation or a director or employee of any corporation that does not deal at arm's-length with the Corporation (collectively, " Retires "). The date used in valuing the
​ 	​ 14	​ 	

DSUs for settlement is the date that is 45 days following the date on which the director Retires, or as soon as practicable thereafter. DSUs are redeemed and payable on or prior to the 90 th  day following the date on which the director Retires. The number of DSUs granted is calculated by dividing the fee that would otherwise be payable by the closing price of SVS on the New York Stock Exchange (the " NYSE ") on the last business day of the quarter.

Directors' Fees Earned in 2016

All compensation paid in 2016 by the Corporation to its directors is set out in Table 3, except for Mr. Mionis, President and CEO of the Corporation, whose compensation is set out in Table 16 of this Circular. In 2016, the Board (excluding Mr. Schwartz — see footnote 10 to Table 3) earned total annual board retainer fees, committee chair retainer fees and travel fees (collectively, " Annual Fees ") in the amount of $1,876,774, including total grants of DSUs in the amount of $1,676,330.

Directors must elect to receive either 75% or 100% of their Annual Fees (set forth in the "Total Fees" column above) in DSUs (i.e., at least 75% of such fees are payable in DSUs). If a director does not make such election, 100% of such director's Annual Fees will be paid in DSUs. The Annual Fees received by directors in DSUs for 2016 were credited quarterly, and the number of DSUs granted in respect of the amounts credited quarterly was determined using the closing price of the SVS on the NYSE on the last business day of each quarter, which was $10.98 on March 31, 2016, $9.30 on June 30, 2016, $10.83 on September 30, 2016 and $11.85 on December 30, 2016.

Amounts in this column for each of Messrs. DiMaggio, Gross and Ryan and Ms. Koellner (who elected to receive 75% of their Annual Fees in DSUs), represent the grant date fair value of DSUs issued in respect of 75% of their Annual Fees. Amounts in this column for each of Messrs. Etherington, Natale and Wilson and Ms. Perry (who elected to receive 100% of their Annual Fees paid in DSUs), represent the grant date fair value of DSUs issued in respect of 100% of their Annual Fees. The grant date fair value of the grants is the same as their accounting value.
(3)
Amounts in this column for Messrs. DiMaggio, Gross, Ryan and Ms. Koellner represent the portion of their Annual Fees (25%), which they elected to have paid in cash.

Mr. Schwartz, an officer of Onex, retired from the Board effective December 31, 2016 in accordance with the Board's retirement policy. During 2016, Mr. Schwartz did not receive any compensation in his capacity as a director of the Corporation; however, Onex did receive compensation for providing the services of Mr. Schwartz as a director in 2016 pursuant to a Services Agreement between the Corporation and Onex entered into on January 1, 2009 (the " Services Agreement "). The initial term of the Services Agreement was one year and the agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms unless the Corporation or Onex provide notice of intent not to renew. Following Mr. Schwartz's retirement, Mr. Popatia, also an officer of Onex, was appointed to the Board effective January 1, 2017. In connection therewith, the Services Agreement was amended as of such date to replace all references to Mr. Schwartz therein with references to Mr. Popatia and to increase the annual fee payable to Onex for the services of Mr. Popatia to $235,000 (to be consistent with the current annual Board retainer fees paid to directors) payable in DSUs in equal quarterly installments in arrears. The number of DSUs is determined using the closing price of the SVS on the NYSE on the last day of the fiscal quarter in respect of which the instalment is to be credited. The Services Agreement terminates automatically and the rights of Onex to receive compensation (other than accrued and unpaid compensation) will terminate (a) 30 days after the first day on which Onex ceases to hold at least one MVS of Celestica or any successor company or (b) the date Mr. Popatia ceases to be a director of Celestica, for any reason.

Outstanding Share-Based Awards	
Information concerning all outstanding share-based awards as of December 31, 2016 made by the Corporation to each director proposed for election at the Meeting (other than Mr. Mionis, whose information is set out in Table 17 of this Circular), including awards granted prior to 2016, is set out in Table 4. DSUs that were granted prior to January 1, 2007 may be settled in the form of SVS issued from treasury, SVS purchased in the open market, or an equivalent value in cash (at the discretion of the Corporation). DSUs granted after January 1, 2007 may only be settled in SVS purchased in the open market or an equivalent value in cash. In 2005, the Corporation amended its Long-Term Incentive Plan (" LTIP ") to prohibit the granting to directors of options to acquire SVS. There are no options granted to directors (or former directors) prior to the foregoing amendment which remain outstanding.

Mr. Popatia was appointed to the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2017. 17,208 and 18,766 DSUs were issued to Onex for the services of Mr. Schwartz as a director in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Onex's beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation is set forth in footnote 1 to Table 1.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines	
The Corporation has minimum shareholding requirements for directors who are not employees or officers of the Corporation or Onex (the "Director Share Ownership Guidelines ") (see  Executive Share Ownership  for share ownership guidelines applicable to Mr. Mionis in his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation). In order to reflect the change from a retainer plus meeting fee structure to a fixed compensation arrangement for directors (see  Information Relating to Our Directors — Director Compensation ), the Director Share Ownership Guidelines were modified effective January 1, 2016. The Director Share Ownership Guidelines currently require that a director hold SVS and/or DSUs with an aggregate value equal to 150% of the annual retainer and that the chair of the Board hold SVS and/or DSUs with an aggregate value equal to 187.5% of the annual retainer. Prior to this change, directors who had served on the Board for five years were required to hold five times the previous base retainer. Current and new directors have five years from January 1, 2016 or from the time of their appointment to the Board, as applicable, to comply with the Director Share Ownership Guidelines.

It is the Corporation's policy that directors with five years or more service on the Board shall continue to receive a minimum of 75% of their Annual Fees in securities of the Corporation.

Although directors will not be deemed to have breached the Director Share Ownership Guidelines by reason of a decrease in the market value of the Corporation's securities, the directors are required to purchase further securities within a reasonable period of time after such occurrence to comply with the Director Share Ownership Guidelines. Each director's holdings of securities, which for the purposes of the Director Share Ownership Guidelines include all SVS and DSUs, are reviewed annually as of December 31. The following table sets out, for each applicable director proposed for election at the Meeting, whether such director was in compliance with the Director Share Ownership Guidelines as of December 31, 2016.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR AUDITOR	

Appointment of Auditor	
It is proposed that KPMG LLP ("KPMG") be appointed as the auditor of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders. KPMG is the current auditor of the Corporation and was first appointed as auditor of the Corporation on October 14, 1997.

It is intended that, on any ballot relating to the appointment of the auditor, the shares represented by proxies in favour of the Proxy Nominees will be voted in favour of the appointment of KPMG as auditor of the Corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless authority to do so is withheld.
Fees Paid to KPMG	
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors negotiates with the auditor of the Corporation on an arm's-length basis in determining the fees to be paid to the auditor. Such fees have been based upon the complexity of the matters dealt with and the time expended by the auditor in providing services to the Corporation.

SAY-ON-PAY	

Say-on-Pay Policy	
The Corporation has held an advisory vote on executive compensation annually since 2012. While this vote is non-binding, it gives shareholders an opportunity to provide important input to the Board. Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to consider, and, if deemed advisable, adopt the following resolution:

Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Corporation's management information circular delivered in advance of the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.

It is intended that, on any ballot relating to the advisory vote on executive compensation, the shares represented by proxies in favour of the Proxy Nominees will be voted in favour of the resolution, unless a vote "against" is indicated.

The Board of Directors will take the results of the vote into account, as it deems appropriate, when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions and in determining whether to significantly increase engagement with shareholders on compensation and related matters. The Corporation will disclose the results of the shareholder advisory vote as part of its report of voting results for the Meeting.
2016 VOTING RESULTS

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE	
The Corporation's Compensation Committee is currently comprised entirely of independent directors (pursuant to applicable Canadian, SEC and NYSE rules for U.S. domestic companies) and consists of: Eamon J. Ryan (Chair), Daniel P. DiMaggio, William A. Etherington, Thomas S. Gross, Laurette T. Koellner, Joseph M. Natale, Carol S. Perry and Michael M. Wilson. The Compensation Committee's purpose is to discharge the Board's responsibilities for executive compensation matters, including:

•
reviewing the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, as approved by the Board, evaluating the CEO's performance in light of these goals and objectives, and setting the compensation of the CEO based on this evaluation;

•
approving non-CEO executive compensation;

•
reviewing, modifying and approving incentive-based plans and equity-based plans;

•
revising and approving compensation disclosure in public documents, including the Corporation's management information (proxy) circular, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations; and

•
reviewing, regularly, the risks associated with the Corporation's executive compensation policies and practices.

The Compensation Committee is also responsible for, among other matters:

•
making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the Corporation's directors;

•
maintaining and reviewing succession planning for the CEO, all positions that report to the CEO and any other positions deemed by the CEO to be "mission critical";

•
approving and monitoring insider trading and share ownership policies; and

•
performing any other activities consistent with its mandate. SeeStatement of Corporate Governance Practices in Schedule A to this Circular for further details.

All members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience that is relevant to their responsibilities relative to executive compensation and have skills and experience that contribute to the ability of the Compensation Committee to make decisions on the suitability of the Corporation's compensation policies and practices. Each member of the Compensation Committee possesses significant knowledge in executive compensation matters gained from his or her experience as an executive in one or more major public corporations, as outlined in the biographies in Information Relating to Our Directors — Election of Directors — Nominees for Election as Director . This experience varies from director to director, but collectively includes having responsibility for the creation and implementation of executive compensation plans; participating in briefings from outside consultants retained by compensation committees with respect to executive compensation design, administration and governance; having responsibility for executive compensation decisions; and past service on the compensation committees of several other major public corporations. In addition, Mr. Etherington currently serves on the compensation and management resources committee of Onex; Ms. Koellner previously served on the compensation committee of AIG; and Ms. Perry previously served on the management resources and compensation committee of Softchoice Corporation (while it was a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (" TSX ")). Accordingly, the Corporation believes that its Compensation Committee is appropriately qualified to make decisions on the suitability of the Corporation's compensation policies and practices.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS	
Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Compensation Committee, I welcome this opportunity to share with you our approach to executive compensation, including the framework we used to make our compensation decisions for the CEO and certain other executive officers for 2016.

Our Approach to Executive Compensation

Celestica's executive compensation program is designed to pay for performance, adhere to the risk profile of the Corporation, align the interests of executives and shareholders, incentivize executives to work as a team to achieve corporate results and ensure direct accountability for annual operating results and the Corporation's long-term financial performance. Total compensation for each executive varies with the Corporation's achievement of financial and non-financial objectives, as well as individual performance. The Compensation Committee believes that the Corporation's executive compensation program for 2016 demonstrates an appropriate pay-for-performance relationship and as such, establishes strong alignment between the interests of the Corporation's executives and its shareholders. Further, the Compensation Committee has endeavoured to ensure the executive compensation program is aligned with appropriate governance, risk management and regulatory principles.

In 2016, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Corporation's executive pay-for-performance alignment in consultation with the Compensation Consultant and concluded Celestica's programs are well aligned with its performance

Celestica's Performance in 2016

2016 was the first full year under Mr. Mionis' leadership as CEO during which he continued to transform Celestica with a view to long-term value creation for its shareholders. Accomplishments for the year included:

•
revenue: $6.0 billion, increased 7% compared to $5.6 billion for 2015;

•
non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") adjusted earnings per share ("non-IFRS adjusted EPS")(1): $1.40 per share, compared to $0.92 per share in 2015 (2) . Both years were impacted by tax-related items (3) . Non-IFRS adjusted EPS would have been $1.18 per share for 2016, compared to $1.00 per share for 2015 without these tax-related items;

•
non-IFRS operating margin (as defined in footnote 3 to Table 14): 3.7%, compared to 3.5% for 2015(2); and

•
non-IFRS adjusted return on invested capital ("adjusted ROIC") (as defined in footnote 5 to Table 14): 20.8%, compared to 19.8% for 2015 (2) .

In addition to financial results, Mr. Mionis led the Corporation in transitioning to a customer and market focused operating model. The Corporation made substantial progress on implementing its Global Business Services (" GBS ") initiative, which focuses on integrating, standardizing and optimizing end-to-end business processes, and began implementation of an Organizational Design initiative, to redesign its organizational structure with the goal of increasing our overall effectiveness.
​ 	​ 23	​ 	

Organizational Developments in 2016

During 2016, the Compensation Committee approved organizational changes in support of the Corporation's business strategy and operational model under Mr. Mionis' leadership. The Compensation Committee approved a new organizational structure for the Executive Leadership Team reporting to the CEO to align more closely with the planned reorganization of our end market categories in 2017 to better reflect the markets and customers we serve. Further, the Compensation Committee approved the appointment of a Chief Human Resources Officer to lead the Corporation's efforts to attract develop and retain key talent. Our commitment to the Corporation's strategic transformation was also reflected with the appointment of a Chief Strategy Officer during 2016.

Conclusion

Last year, our annual "say on pay" advisory vote received overwhelming support with 96.26% of the votes cast in favour of our executive compensation program. We believe this support reflects shareholder endorsement that our compensation philosophy aligns the interests of our executives with our shareholders.

You are invited to review the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Circular, which provides a more detailed view of our executive compensation program.

Yours sincerely,

Eamon Ryan
Chair of the Compensation Committee
(on behalf of the Compensation Committee)

Non-IFRS adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing non-IFRS adjusted net earnings (defined as IFRS net earnings, as adjusted to exclude the impact of employee stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), net restructuring, impairment and other charges, and the tax effects of the foregoing exclusions) by the weighted average number of subordinate and multiple voting shares outstanding during the period.
(2)
See "Non-IFRS measures" in Management's Discussion and Analysis for the Corporation's most recently completed financial year (available at www.sedar.com) for a discussion of this non-IFRS financial measure, as well as a reconciliation of such non-IFRS financial measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure. This non-IFRS measures does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
(3)
Non-IFRS adjusted EPS for the 2016 calendar year was favourably impacted by an aggregate of $0.22 per share net benefit related to income taxes, comprised of a $0.34 per share income tax recovery attributable to the resolution in the second half of 2016 of certain previously disputed tax matters in Canada (including related refund interest income), offset in part by an aggregate $0.07 per share negative impact from current and deferred withholding taxes, as well as a $0.05 per share income tax expense related to taxable foreign exchange. Non-IFRS adjusted EPS for the 2015 calendar year included an $0.08 per share income tax expense related to taxable foreign exchange arising in the third quarter of 2015.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS	
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis sets out the policies of the Corporation for determining compensation paid to the Corporation's CEO, its Chief Financial Officer (" CFO "), and the three other most highly compensated executive officers (collectively, the " Named Executive Officers " or " NEOs "). The NEOs who are the subject of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis are:

•
Robert A. Mionis — President and Chief Executive Officer;

•
Darren G. Myers — Chief Financial Officer;

•
Michael P. McCaughey — President, Connectivity and Cloud Solutions (CCS);

•
Elizabeth L. DelBianco — Chief Legal and Administrative Officer; and

•
Glen D. McIntosh — Executive Vice President, Global Operations and Supply Chain Management.

A description and explanation of the significant elements of compensation awarded to the foregoing NEOs during 2016 is set out in the section Compensation Discussion and Analysis — 2016 Compensation Decisions .

Compensation Objectives

The Corporation's executive compensation philosophies and practices are designed to attract, motivate and retain the leaders who will drive the success of the Corporation. The Compensation Committee reviews compensation policies and practices regularly, considers related risks, and makes any adjustments it deems necessary to ensure the compensation policies are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

A substantial portion of the compensation of our executives is linked to the Corporation's performance. A comparator group of Celestica's competitors, major suppliers, customers, and other major international technology companies that generally fall in the range of 50% to 200% of Celestica's revenue (such group, as selected by the Compensation Committee, the " Comparator Group ") is set out in Table 11. The Corporation establishes target compensation with reference to the median compensation of the Comparator Group, however, neither each element of compensation nor total compensation is expected to match such median exactly. NEOs have the opportunity for higher compensation for performance that exceeds target performance goals, and will receive lower compensation for performance that is below target performance goals.

The compensation package is designed to:

•
ensure executives are compensated fairly and in a way that does not result in the Corporation incurring undue risk or encouraging executives to take inappropriate risks;

•
provide competitive fixed compensation (i.e., base salary and benefits), as well as a substantial amount of at-risk pay through the annual and equity-based incentive plans;

•
reward executives, through both annual incentives and equity-based incentives, for achieving operational and financial results that meet or exceed the Corporation's business plan and that are superior to those of direct competitors in the electronics manufacturing services (" EMS ") industry;

•
align the interests of executives and shareholders through equity-based compensation;

•
recognize that the executives work as a team to achieve corporate results; and

•
ensure direct accountability for the annual operating results and the long-term financial performance of the Corporation.

Independent Advice	
The Compensation Committee, which has the sole authority to retain and terminate an executive compensation consultant, has engaged the Compensation Consultant since October 2006 as its independent compensation consultant to assist in identifying appropriate comparator companies against which to evaluate the Corporation's compensation levels, to provide data about those companies, and to provide observations and recommendations with respect to the Corporation's compensation practices versus those of the Comparator Group and the market in general.

The Compensation Consultant also provides advice (upon request) to the Compensation Committee on the policy recommendations prepared by management and keeps the Compensation Committee apprised of market trends in executive compensation. The Compensation Consultant attended portions of all Compensation Committee meetings held in 2016, in person or by telephone, as requested by the Chair of the Compensation Committee. At each of its meetings, the Compensation Committee held an in camera  session with the Compensation Consultant without any member of management being present. Decisions made by the Compensation Committee, however, are the responsibility of the Compensation Committee and may reflect factors and considerations supplementary to the information and recommendations provided by the Compensation Consultant.

Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the scope of activities of the Compensation Consultant and, if it deems appropriate, approves the corresponding budget. During such review, the Compensation Committee also considers the independence factors required to be considered by the NYSE prior to the selection or receipt of advice from a compensation consultant. After consideration of such independence factors, the Compensation Committee determined that the Compensation Consultant was independent prior to its engagement in 2016. The Compensation Consultant meets with the Chair of the Compensation Committee and management at least annually to identify any initiatives requiring external support and agenda items for each Compensation Committee meeting throughout the year. The Compensation Consultant reports directly to the chair of the Compensation Committee and is not engaged by management. The Compensation Consultant may, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, assist management in reviewing and, where appropriate, developing and recommending compensation programs to align the Corporation's practices with competitive practices. Any such service in excess of $25,000 provided by the Compensation Consultant relating to executive compensation must be pre-approved by the Chair of the Compensation Committee. In addition, any non-executive compensation consulting service in excess of $25,000 must be submitted by management to the Compensation Committee for pre-approval, and any services that will cause total non-executive compensation consulting fees to exceed $25,000 in aggregate in a calendar year must also be pre-approved by the Compensation Committee.

The following table sets out the fees paid by the Corporation to the Compensation Consultant in each of the past two years:

Services for 2016 and 2015 included support on executive compensation matters that are part of its annual agenda (e.g., executive compensation competitive market analysis, review of trends in executive compensation, peer group review, pay-for-performance analysis and assistance with executive compensation-related disclosure), annual valuation of PSUs for accounting purposes, attendance at all Compensation Committee meetings, and support with ad-hoc executive compensation issues that arose throughout the year. Services for 2016 also included incentive plan design review and business strategy review. Services for 2015 also included assistance with the CEO transition activities and a director compensation review.
(2)
Services for 2016 consisted of a review of competitive levels of compensation for our non-NEO executives. Services for 2015 consisted of a non-executive employment engagement survey.

Compensation Process	
Executive compensation is determined as part of an annual process followed by the Compensation Committee, as supported by the Compensation Consultant, as follows:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	​	Before and at Commencement
of the Performance Period	

 	 	​	During the
Performance Period	

 	 	​	Following the
Performance Period	
 	​	
•
Review and approve comparator group
•
Review of Comparator Group compensation and pay positioning
•
Establish target compensation levels
•
Review trends in executive compensation for potential program changes
•
Establish performance objectives
•
Conduct risk assessment of compensation
programs	​	 	​	​
•
Evaluate interim performance relative to objectives
•
Approve appointments to designated positions and any related compensation changes
•
Re-evaluate comparator group and update for the next performance period, as necessary
•
Review management succession plans including retention value of unvested equity awards	​	 	​	
•
Evaluate individual performance relative to objectives
•
Determine achievement of performance criteria for annual and long term incentives	
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation for the CEO and the other NEOs, including base salaries, annual incentive awards and equity-based incentive grants. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the CEO relative to financial and business goals and objectives approved by the Board from time to time for such purpose. The Compensation Committee reviews competitive data for the Comparator Group and consults with the Compensation Consultant before exercising its independent judgment to determine appropriate compensation levels. The CEO reviews the performance evaluations of the other NEOs with the Compensation Committee and provides compensation recommendations. The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations, reviews market compensation information, consults with the Compensation Consultant, and then exercises its independent judgment to determine if any adjustments are required prior to approval of the compensation of such other NEOs.

The Compensation Committee generally meets five times a year, in January, April, July, October and December. At the July meeting, the Compensation Committee, based on recommendations from the Compensation Consultant, approves the comparator group that will be used for the compensation review. At the October meeting, the Compensation Consultant presents a competitive analysis of the total compensation for each of the NEOs, including the CEO, based on the established comparator group. Using this analysis, the CEO develops base salary and equity-based incentive recommendations for the NEOs which are then reviewed with the Compensation Consultant. The CEO's compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Compensation Consultant with input from the Corporation's chief human resources executive. At the December meeting, preliminary compensation proposals for the CEO and the NEOs for the following year are reviewed, including base salary recommendations and the value and mix of their equity-based incentives. By reviewing the compensation proposals in advance, the Compensation Committee is afforded sufficient time to discuss and provide input regarding proposed compensation changes prior to the January meeting at which time the Compensation Committee approves the compensation proposals, revised as necessary or appropriate, based on input provided at the December meeting. Previous grants of equity-based awards and their current retention value are reviewed and may be taken into consideration when making decisions related to equity-based compensation. The Compensation Committee also considers the potential value of the total compensation package for the CEO, which is stress-tested at different levels of performance and different stock prices to ensure that there is an appropriate link between pay and performance, taking into consideration the range of potential total compensation. The CEO and the NEOs are not present at the Compensation Committee meetings when their respective compensation is discussed.
​ 	​ 28	​ 	

Based on a management plan approved by the Board, the annual incentive-plan targets are approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year. The Compensation Committee reviews the Corporation's performance relative to these targets and the projected payment at the October and December meetings. At the January meeting of the following year, final payments under the annual incentive plan, as well as the vesting percentages for any previously granted equity-based incentives that have performance vesting criteria, are calculated and approved by the Compensation Committee based on the Corporation's year-end results as approved by the Audit Committee. The amounts related to the annual incentive plan are then paid in February.

The Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion to either award compensation absent attainment of a relevant performance goal or similar condition, or to reduce or increase the size of any award or payout to any NEO. The Compensation Committee did not exercise such discretion for 2016 compensation with respect to any particular NEO.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee, in performing its duties and exercising its powers under its mandate, considers the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation's compensation policies and practices. This includes: identifying any such policies or practices that encourage executive officers to take inappropriate or excessive risks, identifying risks arising from such policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation; and considering the risk implications of the Corporation's compensation policies and practices and any proposed changes to them.

The Corporation's compensation programs are designed with a balanced approach aligned with its business strategy and risk profile. A number of compensation practices have been implemented to mitigate potential compensation policy risk. It is the Compensation Committee's view that the Corporation's 2016 compensation policies and practices do not promote excessive risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, and that appropriate risk mitigation features are in place within the Corporation's compensation program. In reaching their opinion, the Compensation Committee reviewed key risk-mitigating features in the Corporation's compensation governance processes and compensation structure including the following:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	​	Governance	​	​	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Compensation Decision-Making Process	​	 	​	•
The Corporation has formalized compensation objectives to help guide compensation decisions and incentive design and to effectively support its pay-for-performance policy (see  Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Objectives ).	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Non-binding Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation	​	 	​	•
The Corporation annually holds an advisory vote on executive compensation.
•
This allows shareholders to express approval or disapproval of its approach to executive compensation.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Annual Review of Incentive Programs	​	 	​	•
Each year, the Corporation reviews and sets performance measures and targets for the annual incentive plan and for PSU grants under the Celestica Share Unit Plan (" CSUP ") and the LTIP that are aligned with the business plan and the Corporation's risk profile to ensure continued relevance and applicability.
•
When new compensation programs are considered, they are stress-tested to ensure potential payouts would be reasonable within the context of the full range of performance outcomes. CEO compensation is stress-tested annually.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	External Independent Compensation Advisor	​	 	​	•
On an ongoing basis, the Compensation Committee retains the services of an independent compensation advisor, to provide an external perspective as to marketplace changes and best practices related to compensation design, governance and compensation risk management.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Overlapping Committee Membership	​	 	​	•
All of the Corporation's independent directors sit on each standing committee of the Board, to provide continuity and to facilitate coordination between the Committees' respective oversight responsibilities.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 
​ 	​ 29	​ 	

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	​	Compensation Program Design	​	​	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Review of Incentive Programs	​	 	​	•
At appropriate intervals, Celestica conducts a review of its compensation strategy, including pay philosophy and program design, in light of business requirements, market practice and governance considerations.	​	 	
 	​	Fixed versus Variable Compensation	​	 	​	•
For the NEOs, a significant portion of target total direct compensation is delivered through variable compensation (annual incentive plan and long-term, equity-based incentive plans).
•
The majority of the value of target variable compensation is delivered through grants under long-term, equity-based incentive plans which are subject to time and/or performance vesting requirements.
•
This mix provides a strong pay-for-performance relationship.
•
It provides a competitive base level of compensation through salary, and mitigates the risk of encouraging the achievement of short-term goals at the expense of creating and sustaining long-term shareholder value, as NEOs benefit if shareholder value increases over the long-term.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	"One-company" Annual Incentive Plan	​	 	​	•
Celestica's "one-company" annual incentive plan (the Celestica Team Incentive Plan) helps to mitigate risk-taking by tempering the results of any one business unit on Celestica's overall corporate performance, and aligning executives and employees in the various business units and regions with corporate goals.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Balance of Financial Performance Metrics as well as Absolute and Relative Performance Metrics	​	 	​	•
Celestica's annual incentive plan ensures a holistic assessment of performance with ultimate payout tied to measurable corporate financial metrics ( e.g. , revenue, non-IFRS Operating Margin (as defined in footnote 3 to Table 14), and non-IFRS adjusted ROIC (as defined in footnote 5 to Table 14)).
•
Individual performance is assessed based on business results, teamwork and key accomplishments, and market performance is captured through PSUs (which include both measurable corporate financial metrics and relative performance features) and RSUs.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Minimum Performance Requirements and Maximum Payout Caps	​	 	​	•
Two non-IFRS "gates" exist for any payout to occur under the annual performance incentive.
•
Additionally, target non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT (as defined in footnote 3 to Table 14) must be achieved for other measures to pay above target.
•
Each of the annual performance incentive and PSU payouts have a maximum payout of two times target.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Share Ownership Requirement	​	 	​	•
The Corporation's share ownership guidelines require executives to hold a minimum amount of the Corporation's securities to help align their interests with those of shareholders' and the long-term performance of the Corporation.
•
This practice also mitigates against executives taking inappropriate or excessive risks to improve short-term performance at the expense of longer-term objectives.
•
In the event of the cessation of Mr. Mionis' employment with the Corporation for any reason, he will be required to retain the share ownership level set out in the Executive Share Ownership Guidelines on his termination date for the 12 month period immediately following his termination date.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Anti-hedging and Anti-pledging Policy	​	 	​	•
Executives and directors are prohibited from entering into speculative transactions and transactions designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities of the Corporation granted as compensation or purchasing securities of the Corporation on margin, borrowing against securities of the Corporation held in a margin account, or pledging Celestica securities as collateral for a loan.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	"Clawback" Policy	​	 	​	•
A "clawback" policy provides for recoupment of incentive-based compensation from the CEO and CFO that was received during a specified period in the event of an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements as a result of misconduct, as well as any profits realized from the sale of securities during such period (see — " Clawback" Provisions ).
•
In addition, all longer-term incentive awards made to NEOs may be subject to recoupment if certain employment conditions are breached.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 
​ 	​ 30	​ 	

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	​	"Double Trigger"	​	 	​	•
The LTIP and CSUP currently provide for change of control treatment for outstanding equity based on a "double trigger" requirement	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Severance Protection	​	 	​	•
NEOs' entitlements on termination without cause are in part contingent on complying with confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations (three-year duration for the CEO, two years for other NEOs).	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	
 	​	Pay-For-Performance Analysis	​	 	​	•
Periodic scenario testing of the executive compensation programs is conducted, including a pay-for-performance analysis.	​	 	
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	

Comparator Group	
The Compensation Committee establishes salary, annual incentive and equity-based incentive awards with reference to the median of such elements for the Comparator Group, but is not bound to any target percentile for any element of compensation of the Comparator Group. The Comparator Group is comprised of a selection of the Corporation's competitors, major suppliers, customers, and other major international technology companies that generally fall in the range of 50% to 200% of the Corporation's revenues and is approved annually by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also considers the Corporation's business objective of expanding its managed and/or diversified services and its participation in global markets when approving the Comparator Group. Because of the international scope and the size of the Corporation, the Comparator Group is comprised of companies with international operations, allowing the Corporation to offer its executives total compensation that is competitive in the markets in which it competes for talent. The Comparator Group chosen in 2015 was used to establish 2016 executive compensation. In 2016, changes were made to the Comparator Group established in 2015. Three companies (Broadcom Corp., SanDisk Corp. and Western Digital Corp.) were removed as they had significantly higher revenue and market capitalization than the Corporation, and Sun Edison, Inc. was removed because of its reorganization efforts. Four companies were added that were reasonably similar to the Corporation's size and scope and representative of companies with which the Corporation may compete for executive talent (Amphenol Corporation, ARRIS International, Level 3 Communications and Motorola Solutions). The Comparator Group chosen in 2016, which was reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, and is set out in Table 11 below, was used to establish 2017 executive compensation.

All data were provided by the Compensation Consultant (sourced by it from Standard & Poor's Capital IQ), reflecting fiscal year 2015 revenue for each company, and are presented in U.S. dollars.

Additionally, broader market compensation survey data for other similarly-sized organizations provided by the Compensation Consultant is analyzed in accordance with a process approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considered such survey data, among other matters, in making compensation decisions. In addition to the survey data, proxy disclosure of the Comparator Group companies for the most recently completed fiscal year was considered when determining the compensation of the CEO and the other NEOs.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

The Insider Trading Policy prohibits executives from, among other things, entering into speculative transactions and transactions designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities of the Corporation granted as compensation. Accordingly, executive officers may not sell short the Corporation's securities, buy or sell put or call options on the Corporation's securities, or purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds) which are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of the Corporation's securities. Executive officers are also prohibited from purchasing the Corporation's securities on margin, borrowing against the Corporation's securities held in a margin account, or pledging the Corporation's securities as collateral for a loan. The directors of the Corporation also must comply with the provisions of the Insider Trading policy which prohibit hedging and/or pledging of the Corporation's securities.
​ 	​ 32	​ 	

"Clawback" Provisions

The Corporation is subject to the "clawback" provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, if the Corporation is required to restate financial results due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements as a result of misconduct, the CEO and CFO would be required to reimburse the Corporation for any bonuses or incentive-based compensation they had received during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever is earlier) of a financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, as well as any profits they had realized from the sale of securities of the Corporation during that 12-month period.

In addition, under the terms of the stock option grants and the PSU and RSU grants made under the LTIP and the CSUP, an NEO may be required by the Corporation to repay an amount equal to the market value of the shares (or in the case of options, the intrinsic value realized by the executive) at the time of release, net of taxes, if, within 12 months of the release date, the executive:

•
accepts employment with, or accepts an engagement to supply services, directly or indirectly to, a third party that is in competition with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; or

•
fails to comply with, or otherwise breaches, the terms and conditions of a confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement with, or confidentiality obligations to, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; or

•
on his or her behalf or on another's behalf, directly or indirectly recruits, induces or solicits, or attempts to recruit, induce or solicit any current employee or other individual who is/was supplying services to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Executives who are terminated for cause also forfeit all unvested RSUs, PSUs and stock options as well as all vested and unexercised stock options.

​ 	​ 33	​ 	

Compensation Element Mix	
The at-risk portion of total compensation has the highest weighting at the most senior levels of management. Annual and certain equity-based incentive plan rewards are contingent upon the Corporation's financial and operational performance and are therefore at-risk. With a significant portion of total target direct compensation delivered through variable compensation, the Corporation intends to continue to align NEO compensation with shareholder interests. The relative weighting of the compensation elements for the CEO and the other NEOs (average) for 2016 is set forth below.
 	 	 	
Compensation Element Mix for CEO	​	Compensation Element Mix for Other NEOs
(Average)	

 	​	

Base Salary	
The objective of base salary is to attract, reward and retain top talent. Base salaries for executive positions are reviewed against those in the Comparator Group, with base salary determined with consideration given to the market median of this group. Base salaries are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate, to reflect individual performance, relevant knowledge, experience and the executive's level of responsibility within the Corporation.
Celestica Team Incentive Plan	
The objective of the Celestica Team Incentive Plan ("CTI") is to reward all eligible employees, including the NEOs, for the achievement of annual corporate and individual goals and objectives. CTI awards for the NEOs are based on the achievement of pre-determined corporate and individual goals, and are paid in cash. Actual payouts can vary from 0% for performance below a threshold up to a maximum capped at 200% of the Target Award. Awards are determined in accordance with the following formula:

Business Results Factor: The Business Results Factor of CTI is based on certain corporate financial goals (described in more detail below) established at the beginning of the performance period and approved by the Compensation Committee and can vary from 0% to 200%. The Business Results Factor must be greater than zero for an executive to be entitled to any CTI payment.

Individual Performance Factor: Individual contribution is recognized through the individual performance factor of CTI ("IPF"). The IPF is determined through the annual performance review process and is based on an evaluation of the NEO's performance measured against specific criteria established at the beginning of each year. The criteria may include factors such as the NEO's individual performance relative to business results,
​ 	​ 34	​ 	

teamwork and the executive's key accomplishments. The IPF can adjust the executive's actual award by a factor of between 0.0x and 1.5x depending on individual performance.

Actual results relative to the targets, as described above, determine the amount of the annual incentive subject to the following: (i) a minimum corporate profitability threshold must be achieved for the Business Results Factor to exceed zero; (ii) target non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT (as defined in footnote 3 to Table 14) must be achieved for other measures to pay above target; and (iii) the maximum CTI payment is two times the Target Award.

Target Award: The Target Award is calculated as each NEO's Eligible Earnings (i.e., base salary) multiplied by the Target Incentive (expressed as a percentage of base salary in the applicable plan year).
Equity-Based Incentives	
The Corporation's equity-based incentives for the NEOs consist of RSUs, PSUs and/or stock options. The objectives of equity-based compensation are to:

•
align the NEOs' interests with those of shareholders and incent appropriate behaviour for long-term performance;

•
reward the NEOs' contributions to the Corporation's long-term success; and

•
enable the Corporation to attract, motivate and retain the qualified and experienced employees who are critical to the Corporation's success.

At the December or January meeting, as the case may be, the Compensation Committee determines the dollar value and mix of the equity-based grants to be awarded to the NEOs, if any. On the grant date, the dollar value is converted into the number of units that will be granted using the closing price of the SVS on the day prior to the grant. The annual grants are made following the blackout period that ends not less than 48 hours after the Corporation's year-end results have been released.

Target equity-based incentives are determined with reference to the median awards of the Comparator Group; however, consideration is also given to individual performance and contribution when determining actual awards. The mix of equity-based incentives is reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee each year, and is based on factors including competitive grant practices, balance between performance incentive and retention value, and the effectiveness of each equity vehicle for motivating and retaining critical leaders.

The CEO has the discretion to issue equity-based awards throughout the year to attract new hires and to retain current employees within limits set by the Compensation Committee. The number of units available throughout the year for these grants is pre-approved by the Compensation Committee at the January meeting. Subject to the Corporation's blackout periods, these grants typically take place at the beginning of a month. Any such grants to NEOs must be reviewed with the Compensation Committee at the next meeting following such grant and typically are reviewed in advance with the Chair of the Compensation Committee. No such grants were made to NEOs for 2016.

RSUs

NEOs may be granted RSUs under either the LTIP or the CSUP as part of the Corporation's annual equity grant. Such awards may be subject to vesting requirements, including time-based or other conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. RSUs granted by the Corporation generally vest in instalments of one-third per year, over three years. Each vested RSU entitles the holder to one SVS on the release date. The payout value of the award is based on the number of RSUs being released and the market price of the SVS at the time of release. The Corporation has the right under the CSUP to settle RSUs in either cash or SVS. Under the LTIP, the Corporation may, at the time of grant, authorize grantees to settle RSUs either in cash or in SVS. Absent such permitted election, grants under the LTIP will be settled in SVS. If the
​ 	​ 35	​ 	

Corporation has authorized a settlement in SVS or cash, the holder can choose which of these it receives. SeeCompensation of Named Executive Officers — Equity Compensation Plans .

PSUs

NEOs may be granted PSUs under the LTIP or the CSUP as part of the Corporation's annual equity grant. The vesting of such awards requires the achievement of specified performance-based conditions over a specified time period, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. PSUs granted by the Corporation generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period subject to pre-determined performance criteria. Each vested PSU entitles the holder to receive one SVS on the applicable release date. The payout value of the award is based on the number of PSUs that vest (which ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount granted) and the market price of the SVS at the time of release. The Corporation has the right under the CSUP to settle the PSUs in either cash or SVS. Under the LTIP, the Corporation may, at the time of grant, authorize grantees to settle PSUs either in cash or in SVS. Absent such permitted election, grants under the LTIP will be settled in SVS. If the Corporation has authorized a settlement in SVS or cash, the holder can choose which of these it receives. See Compensation of Named Executive Officers — Equity Compensation Plans .

Stock Options

NEOs may be granted stock options under the LTIP. The exercise price of a stock option is the closing market price on the business day prior to the date of the grant. Stock options granted by the Corporation generally vest at a rate of 25% annually on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and expire after a ten-year term. The LTIP is not an evergreen plan and no stock options have been re-priced.
Other Compensation	

Benefits

NEOs participate in the Corporation's health, dental, pension, life insurance and long-term disability programs. Benefit programs are determined with consideration given to market median levels in the local geographic region.

Perquisites

Perquisites are provided to executives on a case-by-case basis as considered appropriate in the interests of the Corporation. NEOs are entitled to an annual comprehensive medical examination at a private health clinic.

2016 Compensation Decisions

Each element of compensation is considered independently of the other elements. However, the total package is reviewed to ensure that the achievement of target levels of corporate and individual performance will result in total compensation that is generally comparable to the median total compensation of the Comparator Group.
Comparator Group and Market Positioning	
Salary, target annual incentive and equity-based incentive grants for the NEOs were established with reference to the market median of the Comparator Group for each such element and were adjusted as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

Mr. Mionis was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and as a member of the Board effective August 1, 2015 (the number in the table above for 2015 represents his annualized base salary).

The base salaries for the NEOs were reviewed taking into account individual performance and experience, level of responsibility and median competitive data. The Compensation Committee did not grant an increase to the base salary of any NEO for 2016.
Equity-Based Incentives	

Annual Equity Grant Reporting

In 2015, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Corporation's equity grant practices with the Compensation Consultant. Following the review, the Corporation revised its disclosure with respect to its annual equity grant to reflect that equity grants made in-year are granted with respect to the current and future year performance, rather than as a reward in respect of the most recently completed year. This change was made in order to reflect that annual equity grants are intended to incentivize future performance and further connect pay for performance, and also to ensure direct accountability for the long-term financial performance of the Corporation. The revised grant disclosure did not impact how annual equity grants made in 2015 or prior years were reported. However, RSUs and PSUs granted on February 1, 2016, which would previously have been reported as 2015 compensation for the NEOs, are instead reflected as part of 2016 compensation (the year of grant) and are included in this Circular. See —  NEO Equity Awards  below.

Equity Mix

The Compensation Committee determined that the mix of equity in respect of 2016 compensation would be comprised of RSUs (50% weight) and PSUs (50% weight), and that no stock options would be granted to NEOs. In reaching this decision, the Compensation Committee took into account competitive equity compensation trends and practices among the Corporation's Comparator Group and the Corporation's critical need to attract and retain key talent to effectively execute on its strategic business goals. See Compensation Elements for the
​ 	​ 37	​ 	

Named Executive Officers — Equity-Based Incentives for a general description of the process for determining the amounts of these awards.

Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs and PSUs.

PSUs granted as set forth in the table above vest at the end of a three-year performance period subject to pre-determined performance criteria. For such awards, each NEO is granted a target number of PSUs. The number of PSUs that will actually vest ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount granted and will be determined by Celestica's total shareholder return (" TSR ") and non-IFRS adjusted ROIC positioning relative to a comparator group selected by the Compensation Committee for each such purpose.

TSR measures the performance of a company's shares over time. It combines share price appreciation and dividends, if any, paid over the period to determine the total return to the shareholder expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. With respect to each TSR Comparator (as defined below), TSR is calculated as the change in share price over the three year performance period (plus any dividends paid in respect of the common shares of such TSR Comparator over the period) where the average of the daily closing share price for December 2015 will be the beginning share price and the average of the daily closing price for December 2018 will be the ending share price. The TSR of Celestica is calculated in the same manner in respect of the SVS (Celestica does not currently pay dividends).

For purposes of PSUs granted in 2016 that vest based on TSR performance, TSR will be measured relative to the information technology companies within the S&P 1500 Index as at January 1, 2016 with the addition of Flex Ltd., that remain publicly traded on an established U.S. stock exchange for the entire performance period (the " TSR Comparators "). The Compensation Committee, with advice from the Compensation Consultant, determined that this peer group provides reasonable market alignment and was appropriate given it is broadly representative of the U.S. technology sector and includes many of the Corporation's customers, suppliers, and competitors for talent. The Corporation's market capitalization is positioned around the median of the TSR Comparators.

For purposes of PSUs granted in 2016 that vest based on non-IFRS adjusted ROIC performance, adjusted ROIC will be measured against the adjusted ROIC of five direct competitors in the EMS industry chosen by the Compensation Committee (Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Flex Ltd., Jabil Circuit, Inc., Sanmina Corporation and Plexus Corp., collectively, the " ROIC Competitors ") during the last year of the three-year vesting period. The Compensation Committee, with advice from the Compensation Consultant, determined that this peer group was appropriate for measuring relative adjusted ROIC.
​ 	​ 38	​ 	

Of the target number of PSUs granted to each NEO in respect of 2016 compensation, 60% will vest based on Celestica's TSR positioning and 40% will vest based on Celestica's adjusted ROIC ranking, each calculated as described below.

The PSUs that vest based on Celestica's TSR positioning (as determined by the Corporation) will be determined as follows:

•
Celestica's TSR will be ranked against that of each of the TSR Comparators;

•
the percentage of PSUs that will vest and become payable on the applicable release date will correspond to Celestica's TSR position as set out in the table below;

•
Celestica's percentile position will be calculated by first arranging the TSR results from highest to lowest for all TSR Comparators, excluding Celestica, and calculating the percentile rank for each TSR Comparator. The percentage of PSUs that will vest and become payable on the release date with respect to Celestica's TSR positioning will be calculated by interpolating between the corresponding payout percentages immediately above and immediately below Celestica's percentile position as set out in the table below; and

•
if Celestica's TSR is less than 0%, then regardless of Celestica's TSR positioning amongst the TSR Comparators, the maximum number of PSUs that may vest and become payable on the applicable release date will be 100% of the target number issued.

The RSUs vest ratably over a three year period, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The value of the RSUs granted on February 1, 2016 was determined at the January 2016 meeting of the Compensation Committee. The number of RSUs granted was determined using the closing price of the SVS on January 29, 2016 (the day prior to the date of grant) on the NYSE of $9.06.

2016 Business Results Factor

The Business Results Factor component of the CTI calculation is based on the achievement by the Corporation of specified targets with respect to certain pre-selected financial measures. The Business Results Factor for 2016 was 105% based on the following results and also taking into account a limit set by the Compensation Committee in July 2016:

Positioning of Non-IFRS Operating Margin, Revenue and Non-IFRS adjusted ROIC are results between threshold and target levels.
(3)
Non-IFRS Operating Margin is a non-IFRS measure calculated as non-IFRS operating earnings (adjusted EBIAT) divided by Revenue. "Adjusted EBIAT" is defined as earnings before interest and fees relating to the Corporation's credit facility, accounts receivable sales program, and a customer's supplier financing program, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), income taxes and in periods where such charges have been recorded, employee stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges (net of recoveries), including acquisition-related transaction costs, gains or losses related to the repurchase of the Corporation's securities, impairment charges, and refund interest income (representing the refund of interest on cash then held on account with tax authorities in connection with the resolution of certain previously-disputed tax matters in the second half of 2016). Target non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT must be achieved for the other measures in this table to pay above target.

Revenue means the Corporation's annual revenue.

Non-IFRS adjusted ROIC is a non-IFRS measure calculated as non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT divided by average net invested capital, where average net invested capital consists of the following IFRS measures: total assets less cash, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions, and income taxes payable, using a five-point average to calculate average net invested capital for the year. A comparable measure under IFRS would be determined by dividing IFRS earnings before income taxes by net invested capital, however, this measure is not a measure defined under IFRS.

When determining the Business Results Factor for the NEOs in 2016, the Compensation Committee applied a limit in order to ensure that incentive compensation dependent on revenue and non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT margin would be based on the achievement of year-over-year growth with respect to such measures as compared to 2015.

Individual Performance Factor

The IPF is determined through the annual performance review process and can adjust the executive's actual award depending on individual performance. In April 2016, the Compensation Committee approved a reduction in the maximum IPF for senior executives from 2.0 to 1.5. This change was made in order to align with the maximum IPF achievable for all eligible employees under the CTI plan.

At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee and the CEO agree on performance goals for the CEO that are then approved by the Board. Goals for the other NEOs that align with the CEO's goals are then established and agreed to between the CEO and the respective NEOs. The performance of the CEO and the NEOs is measured against the established goals, but also contains subjective elements, such that criteria for, and
​ 	​ 40	​ 	

payment of, the individual performance factor of annual incentive awards remains at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, the Business Results Factor must be greater than zero for an executive to be entitled to any CTI payment.

Chief Executive Officer

In assessing Mr. Mionis' individual performance, the Compensation Committee considers the Corporation's objectives and results achieved, personal performance objectives as determined annually, as well as other factors the Committee considers relevant to the role of CEO. Personal performance objectives measure achievements in the areas of growth, transformational enablement, financial results, operational effectiveness and such other areas as are determined to merit particular focus in a given year. Key results which were considered in determining Mr. Mionis' IPF of 1.10 for 2016 were:

•
drove strong financial performance, including revenue of $6.0 billion for 2016, representing an increase of 7% compared to $5.6 billion for 2015;

•
made progress on a number of strategic initiatives designed to deliver profitable growth; and

•
demonstrated a high level of personal engagement with customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders.

Mr. Mionis has submitted his personal objectives for 2017 which have been approved by the Board.

Other NEOs

Each of the other NEOs has responsibility for achievement of the overall corporate goals and objectives. Each NEO has performance objectives that are assessed at year-end and objective measures that align with the targets for the CEO. The CEO undertakes an assessment of the NEO's contributions to the Corporation's results, including the CEO's assessment of each of the NEO's contributions as a part of the senior leadership team. Based on the CEO's assessment, the Compensation Committee considered each of the NEOs to have either met expectations or exceeded expectations for 2016 based on his or her individual performance and contribution to corporate goals and objectives.

Target Award

The Target Incentive for each eligible NEO in 2016 was as follows:

•
125% for Mr. Mionis;

•
100% for Mr. Myers; and

•
80% for Mr. McCaughey, Ms. DelBianco and Mr. McIntosh.

The Target Incentive for each of NEO was not changed from 2015. The Target Award for each eligible NEO is equal to the Target Incentive (as set out above) multiplied by such NEO's base salary.

Amendment to CEO Employment Agreement

During 2016, the Compensation Committee approved various modifications to Mr. Mionis' compensation under the employment agreement entered into upon his appointment as President and CEO on August 1, 2015 (the " CEO Employment Agreement "). Under the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Mionis' salary and CTI payments were set in U.S. dollars and converted to be paid in Canadian dollars. In January 2016, the Compensation Committee approved an administrative modification to the CEO Employment Agreement in order to eliminate the currency conversion of the amounts payable under the CTI plan. In conjunction with the completion of Mr. Mionis' first year as CEO, the Compensation Committee further reviewed the administration of his employment arrangement in July 2016 in the context of Mr. Mionis' global travel obligations from his home in Arizona, U.S., the Corporation's headquarters in Toronto, Canada and the Corporation's global customer base. As a result, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the CEO Employment
​ 	​ 42	​ 	

Agreement effective August 1, 2016 (the "Amended CEO Employment Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Mionis was transferred from Canadian payroll to U.S. payroll and his compensation (base salary and CTI) will be paid in U.S. dollars. There was no change to the amount of his base salary as a result of these modifications. As a result of the payroll change, Mr. Mionis was also transferred to the Corporation's U.S. health insurance and pension plans — See Pension Plans  for a full description. Additionally, the Amended CEO Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Mionis will continue to receive tax preparation services and tax equalization payments (i.e. to address any tax implications of working in Canada) in accordance with the Corporation's policy on short-term business travel up to certain specified limits.

CEO Realized and Realizable Compensation

The table below is a look back at CEO compensation that compares the total target direct compensation awarded for each year of Mr. Mionis' employment to the actual value both realized and realizable at the end of such year. Mr. Mionis was appointed as President and CEO effective August 1, 2015 and therefore received compensation for five months in 2015.

All amounts in this column represent the grant date fair value of share-based awards. Amounts in this column for 2016 represent RSU and PSU grants made on February 1, 2016 under the CSUP. Grants were based on a share price of $9.06, which was the closing price of the SVS on the NYSE on January 29, 2016 (the day prior to the date of grant). See Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Elements for the Named Executive Officers — Equity-Based Incentives  for a description of the process followed in determining the grant, and see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — 2016 Compensation Decisions — Equity-Based Incentives  for a description of the vesting terms of the RSU and PSU awards. Amounts in this column for 2015 represent RSUs granted as special equity rewards on April 30, 2015 (the " Transition Awards ") to the executive team in connection with the transition of the Corporation's CEO. Amounts in this column for 2014 represent RSUs and PSUs that were issued under the CSUP and LTIP, respectively, on January 23, 2015 in respect of 2014 performance. As described above, commencing with the annual equity grants made in 2016, grants made in-year are reported for such year rather than the most recently completed year.
(2)
The estimated accounting fair value of the share-based awards is calculated using the market price of SVS as defined under each of the plans and various fair value pricing models. The grant date fair value of the RSU portion of the share-based awards in Table 16 is the same as the accounting fair value of such awards. The accounting fair values for the PSU portion of the 2014 and 2016 share-based awards reflects various assumptions as to estimated vesting for such awards in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The grant date fair value for the PSU portion of the share-based awards reflects the dollar amount of the award intended for compensation purposes, based on the market value of the underlying shares on the grant dates based on an assumption of the vesting of 100% of the target number of PSUs granted. The accounting fair value for these NEOs assumed a zero forfeiture rate for all equity-based awards. 60% of the PSUs granted with respect to 2014 and 2016 performance vest depending on the level of achievement of a market performance condition, TSR, over a three-year period relative to the TSR of a pre-defined comparator group. The comparator group was based on the S&P 1500 Technology Index for each of 2014 and 2016 with the addition of Flex Ltd., and which remain publicly traded on an established U.S. stock exchange for the entire performance period. The cost the Corporation records for the PSUs that vest based on TSR performance is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The number of awards expected to be earned is factored into the grant date Monte Carlo valuation for the award. The grant date fair value is not subsequently adjusted regardless of the eventual number of awards that are earned based on the market performance condition. 40% of the PSUs granted vest depending on the level of achievement of non-IFRS adjusted ROIC (a non-market performance condition), in the final year of a three-year vesting period, based on Celestica's non-IFRS adjusted ROIC relative to the non-IFRS adjusted ROIC of a pre-determined EMS competitor group (in each case as determined by the Corporation). The cost the Corporation records for PSUs that will vest based on non-IFRS
​ 	​ 44	​ 	

adjusted ROIC performance is determined based on the market value of SVS at the time of grant, and such cost may be adjusted (usually during the last year of the three-year performance period) based on management's estimate of the relative level of achievement of non-IFRS adjusted ROIC, as outlined above.(3)
Amounts in this column for 2015 represent the grant date fair value special sign-on grant of stock options under the LTIP granted to Mr. Mionis on August 1, 2015 in connection with his appointment as President and CEO. There were no other stock options granted to the NEOs with respect to 2014, 2015 or 2016 performance.
(4)
Amounts in this column represent CTI incentive payments made to NEOs. SeeCompensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Elements for the Named Executive Officers — Celestica Team Incentive Plan  for a description of the plan.
(5)
Pension values for Mr. Mionis are reported in U.S. dollars. For 2016, his pension values include $8,088 in U.S. dollars representing the pension value from the U.S. pension plans and $133,174 having been converted from Canadian dollars representing the pension value from the Canadian pension plans — see Pension Plans  for a full description of the plans Mr. Mionis participated in during 2016. Pension values for Messrs. Myers and McCaughey, Ms. DelBianco and Mr. McIntosh are reported in U.S. dollars, having been converted from Canadian dollars. Amounts were converted to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for 2016 of $1.00 equals C$1.3243.
(6)
Amounts in this column for Mr. Mionis represent amounts for items provided for under the Amended CEO Employment Agreement, which for 2016 consisted of tax equalization payments of $124,548, housing expenses of $75,916 while in Canada, group life insurance premiums of $1,089, a 401(k) contribution of $10,298, travel expenses between Toronto and Arizona of $28,795, tax preparation fees of $23,168 and the cost of a comprehensive medical exam at a private health clinic of $1,809; and for 2015 included the Contractual Payment.
(7)
Mr. Mionis was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and as a member of the Board, effective August 1, 2015 and accordingly, annualized amounts for 2015 were pro-rated to reflect actual compensation paid, awarded or earned.

The LTIP (which was approved by the Corporation's shareholders) is the only securities-based compensation plan providing for the issuance of securities from treasury under which grants have been made and continue to be made by the Corporation since the company was listed on the TSX and the NYSE. Under the LTIP, the Board of Directors may in its discretion from time to time grant stock options, share units (in the form of RSUs and PSUs) and stock appreciation rights (" SARs ") to employees and consultants of the Corporation and affiliated entities.

Up to 29,000,000 SVS may be issued from treasury pursuant to the LTIP. The number of SVS that may be issued from treasury under the LTIP to directors is limited to 2,000,000; however, the Corporation decided in 2004 that stock option grants under the LTIP would no longer be made to directors. Under the LTIP, as of February 15, 2017, 15,989,701 SVS have been issued from treasury, 1,036,719 SVS are issuable under outstanding stock options, 1,862,002 SVS are issuable under outstanding RSUs, and up to 3,307,070 SVS are issuable under outstanding PSUs (assuming vesting at 200% of target). Accordingly, as of February 15, 2017, 13,010,299 SVS are reserved for issuance from treasury pursuant to current and potential future grants of securities-based compensation under the LTIP. In addition, the Corporation may satisfy obligations under the LTIP by acquiring SVS in the open market.

As of February 15, 2017, the Corporation had a "gross overhang" of 8.3%. "Gross overhang" refers to the total number of shares reserved for issuance from treasury under equity plans at any given time relative to the total number of shares outstanding, including shares reserved for outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs. The Corporation's "net overhang" ( i.e.  the total number of shares that have been reserved for issuance from treasury to satisfy outstanding equity grants to employees relative to the total number of shares outstanding) was 4.3%.
​ 	​ 48	​ 	

As of December 31, 2016, the Corporation had an "overhang" for stock options of 7.72%, representing the number of shares reserved for outstanding stock options as at such date, together with shares reserved for potential future grants of stock options, relative to the total number of shares outstanding as at such date.

The LTIP limits the number of SVS that may be (a) reserved for issuance to insiders (as defined under TSX rules for this purpose), and (b) issued within a one-year period to insiders pursuant to stock options, rights or share units granted pursuant to the LTIP, together with SVS reserved for issuance under any other employee-related plan of the Corporation or stock options for services granted by the Corporation, in each case to 10% of the aggregate issued and outstanding SVS and MVS of the Corporation. The LTIP also limits the number of SVS that may be reserved for issuance to any one participant pursuant to stock options, SARs or share units granted pursuant to the LTIP, together with SVS reserved for issuance under any other employee-related equity plan of the Corporation or stock options for services granted by the Corporation, to 5% of the aggregate issued and outstanding SVS and MVS.

Vested stock options issued under the LTIP may be exercised during a period determined as provided in the LTIP, which may not exceed ten years. The LTIP also provides that, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, stock options will terminate within specified time periods following the termination of employment of an eligible participant with the Corporation or affiliated entities, including in connection with a change of control. The exercise price for stock options issued under the LTIP is the closing price for SVS on the last business day prior to the grant. The TSX closing price is used for Canadian employees and the NYSE closing price is used for all other employees. The exercise of stock options may be subject to vesting conditions, including specific time schedules for vesting and performance-based conditions such as share price and financial results. The grant of stock options to, or exercise of stock options by, an eligible participant may also be subject to certain share ownership requirements.

The interest of any participant under the LTIP is generally not transferable or assignable. However, the LTIP does provide that a participant may assign his or her rights to a spouse, or a personal holding company or family trust controlled by the participant, of which any combination of the participant, the participant's spouse, minor children or grandchildren are shareholders or beneficiaries, as applicable.

Under the LTIP, eligible participants may be granted SARs, a right to receive a cash amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the market price of the SVS at the time of exercise of the SAR exceeds the market price of the SVS at the time of the grant. The market price used for this purpose is the weighted average price for SVS during the five trading days preceding the date of determination. The TSX market price is used for Canadian employees and the NYSE market price is used for all other employees. Such amounts may also be payable by the issuance of SVS (at the discretion of the Corporation). The exercise of SARs may also be subject to conditions similar to those which may be imposed on the exercise of stock options. To date, the Corporation has not granted any SARs under the LTIP.

Under the LTIP, eligible participants may be allocated share units in the form of PSUs or RSUs. Each vested RSU and PSU entitles the holder to receive one SVS on the applicable release date (however, the number of PSUs that may vest range from 0% to 200% of a target amount). The issuance of such shares may be subject to vesting requirements similar to those described above with respect to the exercisability of stock options and SARs, including such time or performance-based conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion. The number of SVS that may be issued to any one person pursuant to the share unit program shall not exceed 1% of the aggregate issued and outstanding SVS and MVS. The number of SVS that may be issued under share units in the event of termination of employment without cause, death or long term disability is subject to pro-ration, unless otherwise determined by the Corporation. The LTIP provides for the express designation of share units as either RSUs (restricted share units), which have time-based vesting conditions or PSUs (performance share units), which have performance-based vesting conditions over a specified period. In the event a holder of PSUs retires, unless otherwise determined by the Corporation, the pro-rated vesting of such PSUs shall be determined based on the actual performance achieved during the period specified for the grant by the Corporation.
​ 	​ 49	​ 	

The following types of amendments to the LTIP or the entitlements granted under it require the approval of the holders of the voting securities by a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at a meeting:

(a)
increasing the maximum number of SVS that may be issued under the LTIP;

(b)
reducing the exercise price of an outstanding stock option (including cancelling and, in conjunction therewith, regranting a stock option at a reduced exercise price);

(c)
extending the term of any outstanding stock option or SAR;

(d)
expanding the rights of participants to assign or transfer a stock option, SAR or share unit beyond that currently contemplated by the LTIP;

(e)
amending the LTIP to provide for other types of security-based compensation through equity issuance;

(f)
permitting a stock option to have a term of more than ten years from the grant date;

(g)
increasing or deleting the percentage limit on SVS issuable or issued to insiders under the LTIP;

(h)
increasing or deleting the percentage limit on SVS reserved for issuance to any one person under the LTIP (being 5% of the Corporation's total issued and outstanding SVS and MVS);

(i)
adding to the categories of participants who may be eligible to participate in the LTIP; and

(j)
amending the amendment provision,

subject to the application of the anti-dilution or re-organization provisions of the LTIP.

The Board may approve amendments to the LTIP or the entitlements granted under it without shareholder approval, other than those specified above as requiring approval of the shareholders, including, without limitation:

(a)
clerical changes (such as a change to correct an inconsistency or omission or a change to update an administrative provision);

(b)
a change to the termination provisions for the LTIP or for a stock option as long as the change does not permit the Corporation to grant a stock option with a termination date of more than ten years from the date of grant or extend an outstanding stock option's termination date beyond such date; and

(c)
a change deemed necessary or desirable to comply with applicable law or regulatory requirements.

On October 19, 2016, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the LTIP to remove a previous provision which limited the aggregate number of SVS issuable upon exercise of options, the number of rights granted and the number of share units (in the case of PSUs, at the target level of vesting) that could be granted under the LTIP in any given year to 1.2% of the aggregate number of SVS and MVS outstanding during that period. Shareholder approval of this amendment was not required pursuant to the terms of the LTIP.
Celestica Share Unit Plan	
The CSUP provides for the issuance of RSUs and PSUs in the same manner as provided in the LTIP, except that the Corporation may not issue shares from treasury to satisfy its obligations under the CSUP and there is no limit on the number of share units that may be issued as RSUs and PSUs under the terms of the CSUP. The share units may be subject to vesting requirements, including any time-based conditions established by the Board of Directors at its discretion. The vesting of PSUs also requires the achievement of specified performance-based conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Pension Plans

The following table provides details of the amount of Celestica's contributions to its defined contribution pension plans on behalf of the NEOs, and the accumulated value thereunder as of December 31, 2016 for each NEO.

The difference between (i) the sum of the Accumulated Value at Start of Year column plus the Compensatory column and (ii) the Accumulated Value at End of Year column is attributable to non-compensatory changes in the Corporation's accrued obligations during the year ended December 31, 2016.

The difference between the Accumulated Value at Start of Year reported here and the Accumulated Value at End of Year reported in the 2015 management information circular for Messrs. Myers and McCaughey, Ms. DelBianco and Mr. McIntosh is attributable to different exchange rates used in the 2015 and 2016 management information circulars. The exchange rate used in the 2015 management information circular was $1.00 = C$1.2791.
Canadian Pension Plans	
Messrs. Myers and McCaughey, Ms. DelBianco and Mr. McIntosh participate in the Corporation's registered pension plan for Canadian employees (the " Canadian Pension Plan ") which is a defined contribution plan. Until August 1, 2016, Mr. Mionis participated in the Canadian Pension Plan. The Canadian Pension Plan allows employees to choose how the Corporation's contributions are invested on their behalf within a range of investment options provided by third-party fund managers. Retirement benefits depend upon the performance of the investment options chosen. Messrs. Myers and McCaughey, Ms. DelBianco and Mr. McIntosh also participate in an unregistered supplementary pension plan (the " Canadian Supplementary Plan "). Until August 1, 2016, Mr. Mionis also participated in the Canadian Supplementary Plan. This is also a defined contribution plan through which the Corporation provides an annual contribution of an amount equal to the difference between (i) the maximum annual contribution limit as determined in accordance with the formula set out in the Canadian Pension Plan and with Canada Revenue Agency rules and (ii) 8% of the total base salary and paid annual incentives. Notional accounts are maintained for each participant in the Canadian Supplementary Plan. Participants are entitled to select from among the investment options available in the Canadian Pension Plan for the purpose of determining the return on their Canadian Supplementary Plan notional accounts.
U.S. Pension Plans	
The Compensation Committee approved the Amended CEO Employment Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Mionis was transferred from Canadian payroll to U.S. payroll effective August 1, 2016. As a result of the payroll change, Mr. Mionis was also transferred from the Canadian Pension Plan and the Canadian Supplementary Plan to the Corporation's U.S. pension plans comprised of two defined contribution retirement programs, one of which qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (United States) (the " 401(k) Plan "). Under the 401(k) Plan, participating employees may defer 100% of their pre-tax earnings subject to any statutory limitations. The Corporation may make contributions for the
​ 	​ 51	​ 	

benefit of eligible employees. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to choose how their account balances are invested on their behalf within a range of investment options provided by third-party fund managers. The Corporation contributes: (i) 3% of eligible compensation for the participant, and (ii) up to an additional 3% of eligible compensation by matching 50% of the first 6% contributed by the participant. The maximum contribution of the Corporation to the 401(k) Plan, based on the Internal Revenue Code rules and the 401(k) plan formula for 2016 was $15,900. Mr. Mionis also participates in a supplementary retirement plan that is also a defined contribution plan (the " U.S. Supplementary Plan "). Under the U.S. Supplementary Plan, the Corporation contributes to the participant an annual amount equal to the difference between 8% of the participant's salary and paid incentive and the amount that Celestica would contribute to the 401(k) Plan assuming the participant contributes the amount required to receive the matching 50% contribution by Celestica. A notional account is maintained for Mr. Mionis and he is entitled to select from among the investment options available in the 401(k) Plan for the purpose of determining the return on his notional account.

Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

The Corporation has entered into employment agreements with certain of its NEOs in order to provide certainty to the Corporation and such NEOs with respect to issues such as obligations of confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition after termination of employment, the amount of severance to be paid in the event of termination of the NEO's employment, and to provide a retention incentive in the event of a change in control scenario.

Mr. Mionis

The Amended CEO Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Mionis is entitled to certain severance benefits if, during a change of control period or a potential change of control period at the Corporation, he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason as defined in his agreement (a "double trigger" provision) where good reason includes, without limitation, a material adverse change in position or duties or a specified reduction(s) in total compensation (including base salary, equity and CTI award). A change of control period is defined in his agreement as the 12-month period following a change of control. A potential change of control period is defined in his agreement as the period beginning upon the occurrence of a potential change of control and ending on the earlier of: (i) the end of the 6-month period following a potential change of control; and (ii) a change of control.

The amount of the severance payment for Mr. Mionis is equal to: (i) base salary up to and including the termination date; (ii) a lump sum amount equal to his target payment under the CTI prorated to the date of termination; (iii) a lump sum amount equal to any payments accrued under the CTI in respect of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year during which his termination occurs, if any; (iv) a lump sum amount equal to two times his eligible earnings (such eligible earnings calculated as his annual base salary plus the lesser of (a) his target payment under the CTI for the fiscal year during which his termination occurs based on target achievement of the Business Results Factor of 1.0 and an IPF of 1.0, and (b) payment received under the CTI for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year during which termination occurs); (v) vacation pay earned but unpaid up to and including the date of termination; (vi) a lump sum cash settlement of contributions to, or continuation of his pension and retirement plans for a two-year period; and (vii) a one-time lump sum payment of $100,000 in lieu of all future benefits and perquisites. In addition, upon a change of control and termination without cause or for good reason (a) the stock options granted to him vest immediately, (b) the unvested PSUs granted to him vest immediately at the target level of performance specified in the terms of the PSU grant, and (c) the RSUs granted to him shall vest immediately.

Outside a change in control period, upon termination without cause or resignation for good reason as defined in his agreement, the amount of the severance payment for Mr. Mionis is equal to: (a) base salary up to and including the termination date; (ii) a lump sum amount equal to any payments accrued under the CTI in respect of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year during which his termination occurs; (iii) a lump sum amount equal to two times his eligible earnings (as calculated in the paragraph above); (iv) vacation pay earned but unpaid up to
​ 	​ 52	​ 	

and including the date of termination; (v) a one-time lump sum payment of $100,000 in lieu of all future benefits and perquisites; and (vi) a lump sum cash settlement of contributions to, or continuation of his pension and retirement plans for a two-year period. In addition, (a) vested stock options may be exercised for a period of 30 days and unvested stock options are forfeited on the termination date, (b) RSUs shall vest immediately on a pro rata  basis based on the ratio of (i) the number of full years of employment completed between the date of grant and termination of employment, to (ii) the number of years between the date of grant and the vesting date, and (c) PSUs vest based on actual performance on a pro rata  basis based on the ratio of (i) the number of full years of employment completed between the date of grant and the termination of employment, to (ii) the number of years between the date of grant and the vesting date.

The foregoing entitlements are conferred on Mr. Mionis in part upon his fulfillment of certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations for a period of two years following termination of employment. In the event of a breach of such obligations, the Corporation is entitled to seek appropriate legal, equitable and other remedies, including injunctive relief.

The following table summarizes the incremental payments and benefits to which Mr. Mionis would have been entitled upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2016, or if his employment had been terminated on December 31, 2016 as a result of a change in control, retirement or termination without cause (or with good reason).

Other benefits consist of group health benefits and pension plan contribution.

Ms. DelBianco

The employment agreement of Ms. DelBianco provides that she is entitled to certain severance benefits if, during a change in control period at the Corporation, she is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason as defined in her agreement (a "double trigger" provision), where good reason includes, without limitation, a material adverse change in position or duties, a specified reduction(s) in total compensation (including base salary, equity and CTI award), or a required relocation from Toronto at the time of a change in control. A change in control period is defined in her agreement as the period (a) commencing on the date the Corporation enters into a binding agreement for a change in control, an intention is announced by the Corporation to effect a change in control or the Board adopts a resolution that a change in control has occurred, and (b) ending three years after the completion of the change in control or, if a change in control is not completed, one year following the commencement of the period. The amount of the severance payment for Ms. DelBianco is equal to three times her annual base salary and target annual incentive, together with a portion of her target annual incentive for the year, prorated to the date of termination. The agreement provides for a cash settlement to cover benefits that would otherwise be payable during the severance period, and the continuation of contributions to her pension and retirement plans until the third anniversary following her termination. In addition, upon a change of control and termination without cause or for good reason (a) the stock options granted to her vest immediately, (b) the unvested PSUs granted to her vest immediately at target level performance unless the terms of a PSU
​ 	​ 53	​ 	

grant provide otherwise, or on such other more favourable terms as the Board in its discretion may provide, and (c) the RSUs granted to her shall vest immediately.

Outside a change in control period, upon termination without cause or resignation for good reason as defined in her agreement, the amount of the severance payment for Ms. DelBianco is equal to two times her annual base salary and target annual incentive, together with a portion of her target annual incentive for the year prorated to the date of termination. The Corporation's obligations provide for a cash settlement to cover benefits for a two year period following termination. In addition, the Corporation also provides for a cash settlement of contributions to, or continuation of their pension and retirement plans for a two year period.

Ms. DelBianco is eligible for retirement treatment under the LTIP or CSUP. In the event of her voluntary termination, or a termination without cause she will be considered to have retired under the LTIP and CSUP. In the event of such deemed retirement, (a) stock options continue to vest and vested options are exercisable until the earlier of three years following retirement or termination and the original expiry date, except that in the event of death within the first two years following retirement, vesting of options will cease one year after death, or on the original expiry date if earlier; (b) RSUs will continue to vest on their scheduled vesting date; and (c) PSUs vest based on actual performance on a pro rata basis based on the percentage represented by the number of days between the date of grant and the date of retirement as compared to the total number of days from the date of grant to the scheduled release date for the issuance of shares in respect of vested PSUs.

The foregoing entitlements are conferred on Ms. DelBianco in part upon her fulfillment of certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations for a period of two years following termination of employment. In the event of a breach of such obligations, the Corporation is entitled to seek appropriate legal, equitable and other remedies, including injunctive relief.

The following table summarizes the incremental payments and benefits to which Ms. DelBianco would have been entitled upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2016, or if her employment had been terminated on December 31, 2016 as a result of a change in control, retirement or termination without cause (or with good reason).

Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh

Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh are subject to the Executive Guidelines. Upon termination without cause within two years following a change in control of the Corporation (a "double trigger" provision), Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh are eligible to receive a severance payment up to two times annual base salary and the lower of target or actual annual incentive for the previous year, subject to adjustment for factors including length of service, together with a portion of their annual incentive for the year, prorated to the date of termination. In addition, upon a change in control, (a) all unvested stock options granted to Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh vest on the date of change in control, (b) all unvested RSUs granted
​ 	​ 54	​ 	

to them vest on the date of change in control, and (c) all unvested PSUs granted to them vest on the date of change in control at target level of performance unless the terms of a PSU grant provide otherwise, or on such other more favourable terms as the Board may in its discretion provide.

Under the Executive Guidelines, the Corporation's group benefits and pension contributions to Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh discontinue on the date of termination.

Outside of the two-year period following a change in control, upon termination without cause, Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh are entitled to payments and benefits that are substantially similar to those provided following a termination within two years of a change in control, except that (a) vested stock options may be exercised for a period of 30 days and unvested stock options are forfeited on the termination date, (b) RSUs shall vest immediately on a pro rata  basis based on the ratio of (i) the number of full years of employment completed between the date of grant and termination of employment, to (ii) the number of years between the date of grant and the vesting date, and (c) PSUs vest based on actual performance on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of (i) the number of full years of employment completed between the date of grant and the termination of employment, to (ii) the number of years between the date of grant and the vesting date.

In the event of retirement, (a) stock options continue to vest and are exercisable until the earlier of three years following retirement and the original expiry date, (b) RSUs will continue to vest on their vesting dates, and (c) PSUs vest based on actual performance on a pro rata basis based on the percentage represented by the number of days between the date of grant and the date of retirement as compared to the total number of days from the date of grant to the scheduled release date for the issuance of shares in respect of vested PSUs.

The foregoing entitlements are conferred on Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh in part upon their fulfillment of certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations for a period of two years following termination of their employment.

The following tables summarize the incremental payments to which Messrs. Myers, McCaughey and McIntosh would have been entitled upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2016, or if their employment had been terminated on December 31, 2016 as a result of a change in control, retirement or termination without cause.

Performance Graph

The SVS have been listed and posted for trading under the symbol "CLS" on the NYSE and the TSX since June 30, 1998 (except for the period commencing on November 8, 2004 and ending on May 15, 2006 during which the symbol on the TSX was CLS.SV). The following chart compares the cumulative TSR of C$100 invested in SVS with the cumulative TSR of the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index for the period from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2016.

As can be seen from the performance graph above, an investment in the Corporation on December 31, 2011 would have resulted in a 112.4% increase in value over the five-year period ended December 31, 2016 compared with a 48.6% increase that would have resulted from an investment in the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index over the same period.

Over the same period, total NEO Compensation (as defined below) increased by 3.3%. In the medium to long term, compensation of the Corporation's NEOs is directly impacted by the market value of the SVS, as a significant portion of NEO Compensation is awarded in the form of equity based incentives with payout tied to the market price performance of the SVS.

For the purpose of the above discussion, NEO Compensation is defined as aggregate annual compensation (i.e. the sum of base salary, CTI payments (if applicable) and the grant date fair value of share-based awards and option-based awards, but excluding all other compensation). The executive compensation values have been calculated for the NEOs based on the same methodology set out in Table 16 of this Circular. This is a methodology adopted by Celestica solely for the purposes of this comparison. It is not a recognized or prescribed methodology for this purpose, and may not be comparable to methodologies used by other issuers for this purpose.
​ 	​ 57	​ 	

EXECUTIVE SHARE OWNERSHIP	
The Corporation has executive share ownership guidelines (the "Executive Share Ownership Guidelines") which require specified executives hold a multiple of their base salary in securities of the Corporation as shown in Table 27. Executives subject to the Executive Share Ownership Guidelines are expected to achieve the specified ownership within a period of five years following the later of: (i) the date of hire, or (ii) the date of promotion to a level subject to ownership guidelines. Compliance is reviewed annually as of December 31 of each year. The Compensation Committee reviewed the Executive Share Ownership Guidelines in April 2016 and determined no policy changes were required. The table below sets forth the compliance status of the applicable NEOs with the Executive Share Ownership Guidelines as of December 31, 2016:

(2)
Mr. Mionis was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and as a member of the Board, effective August 1, 2015 and has five years from the date of hire to achieve the required share ownership.

The Amended CEO Employment Agreement continues to provide that in the event of the cessation of Mr. Mionis' employment with the Corporation for any reason, he will be required to retain the share ownership level set out in the Executive Share Ownership Guidelines on his termination date for the 12 month period immediately following his termination date.
INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS	
As at February 15, 2017, no current or former executive officers or members of the Board of the Corporation or its subsidiaries and none of their respective associates were indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (or had indebtedness that was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) in connection with the purchase of SVS or in connection with any other transaction.
​ 	​ 58	​ 	

DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CORPORATION LIABILITY INSURANCE	
The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of the directors and officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. These agreements generally provide that the Corporation or the subsidiary of the Corporation which is a party to the agreement, as applicable, will indemnify the director or officer in question (including his or her heirs and legal representatives) against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof, provided that he or she has acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof.

The Corporation's current directors' and officers' insurance policies provide for aggregate coverage of $110 million. The policies protect directors and officers against liability incurred by them while acting in their capacities as directors and officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Included in the $110 million of aggregate coverage is coverage dedicated solely to individual directors and officers. The Corporation's cost for this policy is approximately $0.83 million annually. Limits available under the policies are in excess of a self-retention of $1 million for each loss or claim depending on the type of claim, except for securities claims, which are subject to a $1.5 million self-retention.
STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES	
National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the "Instrument", together with National Policy 58-201 —  Corporate Governance Guidelines , the " CSA Governance Requirements ") of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires the Corporation to disclose, on an annual basis, its corporate governance practices with reference to a specific form set out in the Instrument. The TSX requires the Corporation to comply with the Instrument. The disclosure set out in tabular form in Schedule A reflects the CSA Governance Requirements.

The Corporation remains committed to the highest standards of corporate governance in all aspects of the Corporation's decision-making processes. The Board of Directors has implemented systems and procedures that support independent, thoughtful and informed decisions. As governance regulation has evolved over the past several years, the Corporation has adapted its practices to reflect changing standards. The Corporation is listed on the NYSE and, although it is not required to comply with all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements to which the Corporation would be subject if it were a U.S. corporation, the Corporation's governance practices differ significantly in only one respect from those required of U.S. domestic issuers. The Corporation complies with applicable TSX rules, which require shareholder approval of new share compensation arrangements involving issuances of shares and that shareholders approve the amendments to such arrangements in accordance with the amendment provisions in the arrangements. Unlike under NYSE rules, there is no requirement in Canada for shareholder approval of compensation arrangements (or material revisions thereto) involving share purchases in the open market.
OTHER MATTERS	
Management knows of no matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, proxies given in favour of the Proxy Nominees will be voted upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

SCHEDULE A	

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES	
The Corporation's corporate governance disclosure required by National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (" NI 58-101 ") is set out below.
Board of Directors	
Director Independence

A greater than two-thirds majority of the Corporation's directors are independent. Independence has been determined in accordance with NI 58-101 in the case of each director on the basis of whether that director has a direct or indirect material relationship (such as any relationship with the Corporation, any of the Corporation's subsidiaries or with Onex Corporation (" Onex ") (which holds approximately 79% of the voting rights attaching to shares of the Corporation)) which could, in the view of the Board of Directors (the " Board "), be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment.

As each of Mr. Schwartz (a director of Celestica from 1998 through December 31, 2016) and Mr. Popatia (a director of Celestica commencing January 1, 2017) is an executive officer of Onex, the Corporation's controlling shareholder, under Canadian Securities Administrators requirements each is deemed to be a non-independent director of Celestica.

The following chart details the Board's determination with respect to the independence status of each director who is standing for election:

In addition, from time to time, the Board establishesad hoc committees, which, as appropriate, may be comprised solely of independent directors. In 2016, the ad hoc  Director Search Committee was created for the purpose of the new director search. The Director Search Committee was composed of Messrs. Etherington and Natale. No fees were paid for participation on the Director Search Committee.

Independent Chair

Mr. Etherington is the Chair of the Board and is an independent director. In this capacity, Mr. Etherington is responsible for the effective functioning of the Board.

Orientation and Continuing Education	
Orientation for New Directors

The Corporation's orientation program helps new directors contribute effectively to the work of the Board as soon as possible. As part of this program, new directors receive written materials on the Board and committee mandates, the Corporation's structure, organization, current priorities and issues that have been considered by the Board and each of its committees. New directors also attend meetings with the Chair, directors, Compensation Consultant and key executives and receive periodic presentations from senior management on major business strategy, industry trends, customer requirements and competitive issues. Through this orientation program, new directors have the opportunity to become familiar with the role of the Board and its committees, the contribution individual directors are expected to make, and the nature and operation of the Corporation's business.

Ongoing Director Development and Education

The Board's continuing education program has been designed to, among other things: (i) assist directors to maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors of the Corporation; and (ii) assist directors in ensuring that their knowledge and understanding of the Corporation's business remains current. Specifically, directors are provided with:

•
detailed information packages in advance of each Board and Committee meeting through an online portal which directors can access immediately upon the issuance of materials;

•
regular updates between meetings of the Board with respect to issues that affect the business of the Corporation; and

•
full access to the senior management and employees of the Corporation.

Directors review the annual work plan for board and committee meetings, participate in setting the agendas for Board and Committee meetings and participate in annual strategic planning sessions.

The Board's continuing education program also includes management presentations, analyst reports and regular business updates from the CEO. In addition, the Corporation provides each director with a membership in the National Association of Corporate Directors and the Institute of Corporate Directors to keep them up to date on the role and responsibilities of an effective Board member and help them stay in touch with issues of common interest to all directors.

Directors may also attend outside conferences and seminars that are relevant to their role, at the Corporation's expense with the prior approval of the Chair.

During 2016, directors attended educational presentations and were provided with educational materials related to:

•
executive compensation trends

•
proposed changes to compensation practices and disclosure requirements in Canada and the U.S.

•
developments in corporate governance,

•
developments in accounting rules and standards

Ethical Business Conduct	
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Promotion of Ethical Conduct

The Corporation's Business Conduct Governance Policy (the "Policy") applies to all the Corporation's directors, officers and employees. In addition, the Corporation's CEO, senior finance officers and all personnel in the finance area are subject to the Corporation's Finance Code of Professional Conduct.

Both of these codes may be obtained on the Corporation's website at www.celestica.com. See "About Us" -- "Corporate Governance".

The Board reviews the Policy and the process for administering the Policy on an annual basis. Management provides regular reports to the Board with respect to compliance with the Policy.

All employees above a designated level are required to certify compliance with the Policy annually. The Corporation also provides an on-line training program for the Policy. The Policy requires ethical conduct from employees and encourages employees to report breaches of the Policy to their manager. The Corporation provides mechanisms whereby employees can report unethical behavior, including the Celestica Ethics Hotline which provides a method for employees in every jurisdiction in the world to report unethical conduct, on an anonymous basis if they so choose.
​ 	​ A-5	​ 	

As part of the written mandate of the Board, the Board has adopted as a minimum standard that directors must demonstrate integrity and high ethical standards. The mandate also requires the Board, to the extent feasible, to satisfy itself as to the integrity of the Corporation's CEO and other executive officers and that the CEO and other executive officers create a culture of integrity throughout the organization.

The Corporation's Corporate Values underpin the Corporation's commitment to strong business ethics. A copy of the Corporate Values may be obtained on the Corporation's website at  www.celestica.com . See "About Us" -- "Corporate Governance".

Material Interests in Transactions

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, the Corporation has no contracts or other arrangements in place in which any of its directors or officers has a material interest and does not anticipate entering into any such arrangement. If any such arrangement were to arise, it would first be considered by the Audit Committee (or a special committee of the Board consisting solely of independent directors) and then would be subject to the approval of the Board (in each case, without the participation of the director who would have the material interest in question).

Sale agreement with respect to real property in Toronto:

On July 23, 2015, the Corporation entered into an agreement of purchase and sale (the Property Sale Agreement) to sell its real property located in Toronto, Ontario, which includes the site of the Corporation's corporate headquarters and Toronto manufacturing operations, to a special purpose entity (the Property Purchaser) to be formed by a consortium of three real estate developers. If the transaction is completed, the purchase price will be approximately C$137 million, exclusive of applicable taxes and subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Property Sale Agreement, including for certain density bonuses and other adjustments in accordance with usual commercial practice. Upon execution of the Property Sale Agreement, the Property Purchaser paid the Corporation a cash deposit of C$15 million, which is non-refundable except in limited circumstances. Upon closing, which is subject to various conditions, including municipal approvals and is currently anticipated to occur in the second half of 2017, the Property Purchaser is to pay the Corporation an additional C$53.5 million. The balance of the purchase price is to be satisfied upon closing by an interest-free, first-ranking mortgage in the amount of C$68.5 million to be registered on title to the property and having a term of two years from the closing date. The Corporation has recorded the cash deposit in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and as cash provided by investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

As part of the Property Sale Agreement, the Corporation agreed, upon closing, to enter into an interim lease for the existing corporate head office and manufacturing premises on a portion of the real estate for an initial two-year term on a rent-free basis (subject to certain payments including taxes and utilities), which is to be followed by a longer-term lease for the Corporation's new corporate headquarters, on commercially reasonable arm's-length terms. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be completed within the expected time period or at all.

Approximately 30% of the interests in the Property Purchaser are to be held by a privately-held company in which Mr. Schwartz, a controlling shareholder and a former director (until December 31, 2016) of Celestica, has a material interest. Mr. Schwartz also has a non-voting interest in an entity which is to have an approximate 25% interest in the Property Purchaser. Given the interest in the transaction by a related party, the Board formed a Special Committee, consisting solely of independent directors, which retained its own independent legal counsel, to review and supervise a competitive bidding process. The Special Committee, after considering, among other factors, that the purchase price for the property exceeded the valuation provided by an independent appraiser, determined that the Property Purchaser's transaction terms were in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board, at a meeting where Mr. Schwartz was not present, approved the transaction based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee.

Audit Committee	
The Board has a fully independent Audit Committee (currently comprised of Laurette T. Koellner (Chair), Daniel P. DiMaggio, William A. Etherington, Thomas S. Gross, Joseph M. Natale, Carol S. Perry, Eamon J. Ryan and Michael M. Wilson). Shareholders may obtain further information regarding the Corporation's Audit Committee in Part I, Item 6C and Part II, Item 16A of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F, and may review the Audit Committee's mandate on the Corporation's website at  www.celestica.com . See "About Us" -- "Corporate Governance".

No member of the Audit Committee serves on more than three audit committees of public companies, including that of the Corporation.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the compensation, retention and oversight of the work of a registered public accounting firm for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation. In addition, the Committee has sole authority for recommending the person to be proposed to Celestica's shareholders for appointment as external auditor and whether at any time the incumbent external auditor should be removed from office. The Audit Committee also has the authority to retain, in addition to the external auditor, such other outside legal, accounting or other advisors as it may consider appropriate and is not required to obtain the approval of the Board in order to retain, compensate or terminate such advisors.

The Audit Committee and its Chair are appointed annually by the Board. As part of each meeting at which (i) the Committee recommends that the Board approve the annual audited financial statements or (ii) the Committee reviews the quarterly financial statements, the Committee members meet separately with each of: management; the external auditor; and the internal auditors.

In addition to fulfilling the responsibilities as set forth in its mandate, in 2016, the Audit Committee implemented a formal annual review of the qualifications, expertise, resources and the overall performance of the Corporation's external auditor, including conducting a survey of each member of the Audit Committee and of certain key management personnel.
Nomination and Election of Directors	
Director Nomination Process

Recognizing that new directors may be required from time to time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee maintains a matrix of the competencies, skills and other characteristics that each existing director possesses for the purpose of identifying any gaps and determining the profiles for potential director nominees that would best serve the Corporation.

The Board is committed to nominating highly qualified individuals to fulfill director roles, based on the needs of the Corporation at the relevant time. The Board believes that diversity is important to ensure that Board members provide the necessary range of complementary perspectives, experience and expertise required to achieve effective stewardship of the Corporation. When considering potential Board members, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers personal characteristics such as business experience, functional expertise, personal skills, stakeholder perspectives and geographic background.

The Board also recognizes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and acknowledges the important role of women in contributing to diversity of perspective among directors. Accordingly, in January 2015, the Board adopted a written policy with respect to the identification and nomination of women directors and is taking meaningful steps to increase the representation of women on the Board, including targeting women candidates exclusively for the Corporation's director search in 2013. Pursuant to the policy, the Corporation has adopted a target that at least 30% of the Board be comprised of women by 2020 and, in support of this target, established a requirement that the initial candidate list for any new director search be comprised of no less than 50% women. In accordance with this requirement, the director search process conducted in 2016 described below under "Retirement Policy and Term Limits" included an initial candidate list comprised of 50%
​ 	​ A-7	​ 	

women. There are currently two women on the Board, representing 20% of the directors (25% of the independent directors), each of whom is being nominated for re-election to the Board, and one of whom chairs the Audit Committee. The Board considers that the composition and number of the nominees for the position of director that it proposes will allow the Board to perform effectively and act in the best interest of the Corporation and its stakeholders.

Independence and Powers of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is a fully independent committee of the Board and is currently comprised of William A. Etherington (Chair), Daniel P. DiMaggio, Thomas S. Gross, Laurette T. Koellner, Joseph M. Natale, Carol S. Perry, Eamon J. Ryan and Michael M. Wilson.

The mandate of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is posted on the Corporation's website at www.celestica.com. See "About Us" -- "Corporate Governance".

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending governance guidelines for the Corporation (and recommending changes to those guidelines), identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, and recommending director nominees to be put before the shareholders at each annual meeting.

Election of Directors

The TSX requires listed issuers that are not majority controlled to adopt a majority voting policy for the election of directors or to otherwise satisfy the TSX's majority voting requirements. The Board has adopted a policy that requires, in an uncontested election of directors, that shareholders be able to vote in favour of, or to withhold from voting, separately for each director nominee. If, with respect to any particular nominee, other than the controlling shareholder or a representative of the controlling shareholder, the number of shares withheld from voting by shareholders other than the controlling shareholder and its associates exceeds the number of shares that are voted in favour of the nominee by shareholders other than the controlling shareholder and its associates, then the Board shall determine, and in so doing shall give due weight to the rights of the controlling shareholder, whether to require the nominee to resign from the Board and if so required any such nominee shall immediately tender his or her resignation. The Board shall accept such resignation absent exceptional circumstances. Such a determination by the Board shall be made, and announced by press release, within 90 days after the applicable shareholders' meeting. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the press release will state the reasons for such decision. Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may leave any resultant vacancy unfilled until the next annual shareholders' meeting or it may fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director whom the Board considers would merit the confidence of the shareholders or it may call a special meeting of shareholders at which there shall be presented a nominee or nominees to fill the vacant position or positions.

Although the Corporation is exempt from the TSX's majority voting requirements, the Corporation chose the policy described above to appropriately and effectively reflect the application of majority voting policies to a majority controlled company, consistent with the rationale underlying the TSX majority voting requirements and good corporate governance.
Compensation	
Determination of Directors' and Officers' Compensation

In setting the compensation of the Corporation's officers, the Compensation Committee considers a median level of compensation for each component of the officer's compensation package (base salary, annual incentives, mid-term and long-term incentives and benefits) compared to a group of companies in closely-related industries. For more detail on the philosophy and approach adopted by the Compensation Committee, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis  in this Circular.
​ 	​ A-8	​ 	

Director compensation is set by the Board on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and in accordance with director compensation guidelines and principles established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to provide it with market advice.

Independence and Powers of the Compensation Committee

The Board has a fully independent Compensation Committee (currently comprised of Eamon J. Ryan (Chair), William A. Etherington, Daniel P. DiMaggio, Thomas S. Gross, Laurette T. Koellner, Joseph M. Natale, Carol S. Perry and Michael M. Wilson). The Compensation Committee and its Chair are appointed annually by the Board. As part of each meeting, the Compensation Committee members meet without any member of management present and also meet with the Compensation Consultant without any member of management present. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, compensate and terminate any consultants and advisors it considers necessary within its mandate.

The Compensation Committee's responsibilities include those noted atCompensation Committee in this Circular.

The full mandate of the Compensation Committee is posted on the Corporation's website at www.celestica.com. See "About Us" -- "Corporate Governance".

External Advisors Regarding Director and Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee has retained the Compensation Consultant as its independent compensation consultant to assist in the discharge of its mandate. For a description of the Compensation Consultant's role and mandate, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Objectives — Independent Advice  in this Circular.
Assessments	
Assessments of the Board and its Directors

The Mandate of the Board requires the Board to evaluate and review its performance, its committees and its directors on an annual basis.

The scope, focus and requirements of the evaluation and review will vary from year to year. The Board has retained an external advisor to assist in these evaluations. The evaluation process for a given year may involve all or any of a careful examination of individual directors, committees and the Board, and of the Board's role, objectives, and relationship with management, and peer review by the directors. The process may also involve soliciting feedback from senior executives as to the effectiveness of the working relationship with the Board and how to improve it. The results of the evaluation, and feedback on the evaluation process itself, are integrated into the next year's Board evaluation cycle.
Retirement Policy and Term Limits	
The Board strives to achieve a balance between the need to retain directors with valuable institutional experience and the benefits obtained from new perspectives and approaches that accompany Board turnover.

Celestica's Corporate Governance Guideline provides that, unless the Board authorizes an exception, a director shall not stand for re-election after his or her 75th birthday (and the Corporation does not provide a director with any additional financial compensation upon retirement). During 2016, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the composition of the Board in anticipation of two Board members, Messrs. Etherington (Chair) and Schwartz, reaching retirement age. On July 21, 2016, Mr. Natale was appointed Vice-Chair of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee began the process of identifying potential new directors and an ad hoc committee comprised of Messrs. Etherington and Natale was created (the " Director Search Committee "). A preferred candidate profile was developed based on the
​ 	​ A-9	​ 	

qualifications, experience, diversity and expertise determined to be best suited to fill any gaps and in adherence with the Corporation's policy with respect to the identification and nomination of women directors (see  Nomination and Election of Directors — Director Nomination Process  above). Candidates were identified with the assistance of a director search firm and suitable candidates were interviewed by the members of the Director Search Committee. Mr. Gross was identified through this process and was appointed to the Board effective November 1, 2016. He is standing for election by shareholders for the first time at the meeting. In accordance with the retirement policy, Mr. Schwartz retired from the Board effective December 31, 2016 and Tawfiq Popatia, an officer of Onex, was appointed as his replacement effective January 1, 2017. Mr. Popatia is standing for election by shareholders for the first time at the meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the application of the retirement policy to Mr. Etherington. After consideration of all of the aforementioned changes to the composition of the Board, as well as the fact that Mr. Mionis completed his first full fiscal year as President and CEO during 2016, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an exception to its retirement policy for Mr. Etherington to provide an element of continuity during this period of transition. In accordance with the exception, Mr. Etherington is standing for re-election by shareholders as Chair of the Board at the meeting.

The Board considers that the imposition of term limits would discount the value of experience and continuity amongst directors, runs the risk of excluding experienced and valuable board members, and is therefore not in the best interests of the Corporation.

To ensure adequate Board renewal, the Board relies on rigorous director assessments for evaluating directors, reviews the composition and effectiveness of the Board annually, including the tenure and performance of individual directors, and maintains the skills matrix disclosed above to ensure the Board possesses the requisite experience, expertise and business and operational insight for the effective stewardship of the Corporation.

The Board has demonstrated the effectiveness of its approach as three new directors representing 30% of the Board have been appointed since 2014.
Succession Planning	
In accordance with its mandate, the Compensation Committee, from time to time as it considers appropriate, maintains and reviews succession planning for the CEO, all positions that report to the CEO, and any other positions deemed by the CEO to be "mission critical". Historically, the Compensation Committee has conducted a formal, in-depth review of each of the succession plans with the CEO in order to satisfy itself that the succession plans meet the needs of the Corporation. In July, 2016, the CEO and the Chief Legal and Administrative Officer (" CLAO ") reviewed the existing succession plans and prepared an updated emergency succession plan for executives which they presented to the Compensation Committee.

The CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer (the "CHRO") will conduct an in-depth talent and succession plan for review with the Compensation Committee during 2017.
Gender Diversity	
The Board is committed to selecting highly qualified individuals to fulfill senior management roles within the Corporation and considers the qualities and experiences of candidates, including their educational background, business experience, expertise and integrity, in the selection and recruitment of its executive officers. The Board and management believe the presence of qualified and diverse individuals in executive positions within the Corporation and its subsidiaries is important to ensure that the profiles of senior management provide the necessary range of perspectives, experience and expertise required to achieve effective management. The Board recognizes the significant role that women with appropriate and relevant skills and experience play in contributing to diversity of perspective in senior management roles.

The Corporation has initiatives to raise awareness and support the advancement of women including the deployment of a global mentoring program and a North American Women's Collaboration Forum. Plans are underway to expand this forum across the Corporation's global network. The Corporation also participates in
​ 	​ A-10	​ 	

the Protégé Project, a program that is sponsored by the Canadian Women in Communications and Technology (WCT) Organization, matching CEOs and other leaders as sponsors with senior female executives who are interested in further developing their leadership capabilities. The Corporation has adopted an equal opportunity policy which prohibits employment-related decisions based on or affected by prohibited factors, including an employee's gender. Accordingly, the Corporation does not specifically consider the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments and has not established a target regarding the number of women in senior executive positions.

As at February 15, 2017, one of the eight executive officers of the Corporation, including its major subsidiaries, is a woman, representing 12.5% of the total number of executive officer positions at such entities.

201 6 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Exhibit 99.7

A Message the Chair from Dear Shareholder It is a pleasure to provide an update on Celestica’s performance in 2016, which was Rob Mionis’ first full year as CEO. The Board believes this was a strong year as Celestica delivered improved results each quarter, continued to make progress on its transformational journey, and is on the way to achieving its goal of being the world’s leading supply chain solutions company.* Throughout the year, Celestica remained focused on delivering innovative solutions that add value for its customers and ensuring that it is well positioned to capture emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. Under Rob’s leadership, Celestica expanded its Joint Design and Manufacturing offerings, made progress in its Diversified business and added capabilities through targeted investments. Rob better aligned the organization and augmented the Celestica team with additional leadership intended to drive longer term profitable growth. We entered 2017 with some important changes to our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Board’s normal policy, Gerry Schwartz retired at the end of the year after 19 years of service. Our latest addition to the Board is Tawfiq Popatia, an Onex Managing Director, who joined us in January. We believe that his deep expertise in automation, and in aerospace and other transportation-focused industries will be key as we seek to create new opportunities for Celestica. In addition, Tom Gross joined the Board in November 2016. Tom recently retired as the Vice Chairman and COO of Eaton Corporation’s electrical business division. We are excited to have him with us and look forward to leveraging his extensive experience to help support our vision. 2017 represents an exciting year for Celestica. We believe that the company is well positioned to seize the growth opportunities that lie ahead and to add value for our customers in this dynamic global market environment. On behalf of Celestica’s Board of Directors, we thank you – our valued investors – for your ongoing confidence in our team and our company. Sincerely, WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE SUCCESS WE ACHIEVED IN 2016. OUR TRACK RECORD IN MANAGING COMPLEXITY AND OUR RELENTLESS DRIVE TO UNLOCK POTENTIAL AND GROWTH FOR OUR CUSTOMERS FORMED THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR SUCCESS. We delivered four consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth and achieved our highest annual adjusted operating margin performance in 15 years. ** Throughout the year, the Celestica team remained focused on evolving our customer and product portfolios, improving our operating performance and investing in new capabilities to achieve the company’s long-term growth and profitability objectives. As a result, we delivered 7% year-over-year growth in revenue, 14% growth in adjusted operating earnings**, and double-digit revenue growth in both our Communications and Diversified businesses.*** Bill Etherington Chair of the Board

These results have been attained in an increasingly competitive and demanding environment. Supply chains are becoming more complex while advances in technology, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things promise great benefits for a range of industries. I believe Celestica is ideally positioned to help our customers navigate this new era – just as I trusted Celestica as a customer before I joined as CEO. Our sophistication in supply chains, our technology and engineering expertise, our design capability, our strong customer engagement model, and the strength and calibre of our employees give me confidence that we will ensure our customers’ success. Our guiding principal – Think Bigger, Reach Further. – binds us together and inspires us to make a difference for our customers. Now, I would like to share some highlights from the year. LOOKING AHEAD* We will continue to focus on building trusted relationships with our customers and solving complex technology challenges that drive greater value. We are confident in our strategy and believe we are doing the right things to drive sustained profitable growth. Our continued priorities over the next 12 months are as follows: We are winning business with the leaders in this market and plan to shift our focus to energy conversion, energy controls, storage and monitoring. We believe that this market offers strong potential for Celestica, and that we are well positioned to succeed based on our ability to deliver high-complexity solutions. • Evolve and diversify our customer and product portfolios to drive longer term consistency in growth and operating margins. Achieve margin enhancement in our Diversified end market while balancing investments needed to drive continued growth. Generate strong free cash flow** and adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC).** Execute flawlessly while driving increased productivity and simplification throughout our organization. • • • 2016 HIGHLIGHTS Over the course of the year, we continued to make targeted investments, and accelerated our focus and expansion in areas such as Aerospace and Defense, Smart Energy, and Joint Design and Manufacturing intended to drive increased diversification and long-term consistent profitable growth. In Aerospace and Defense, I believe that Celestica has built a reputation as a premier partner to the world’s leading brands. To continue to expand our capabilities and services offerings to better serve our customers, we acquired Karel Manufac turing’s assets, giving us additional vertical build-to-print capabilities in the areas of complex wire harness assembly, systems integration, sheet metal fabrication, welding and machining. We expect this acquisition to support our strategy to accelerate our growth in key markets through the addition of value-added capabilities and services. In Smart Energy, although we made the decision in the fourth quarter of 2016 to exit the solar panel manufacturing business, we believe that our experience and expertise in panel manufacturing has provided a foundation from which to build a strong power electronics business. Now more than ever before, we believe that our customers expect us to deliver the most advanced design, engineering, manufacturing and supply chain solutions for their sophisticated products. 2017 will demand that we Think Bigger, Reach Further. – and we’re ready to take that challenge head-on. I am proud of our accomplishments and I am looking forward to the year ahead. I want to thank our employees around the world for their passion and commitment to our strategy, our customers for giving us the opportunity to partner with them to drive innovation and our shareholders for their trust and ongoing support. Sincerely, We continued to invest in our platform solutions through our Joint Design and Manufacturing capabilities. Our solutions continue to gain momentum and can be leveraged by our customers within their product portfolios. I am excited by the breadth of our comprehensive solutions in the areas of storage, network switching, and converged storage and servers and believe they can meet the needs of a wide range of customers. In addition, we have been increasing our investments in the connected factory, automating and connecting our equipment , people and systems throughout our global network including our customers and suppliers. Automation is helping us to streamline our processes and re-organize to reduce costs, complexity and to improve our responsiveness in order to support our goal of continued profitable growth. Rob Mionis President and Chief Executive Officer *These letters contain forward-looking statements. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 8. **Operating margin, operating earnings, free cash flow and adjusted return on invested capital are non-IFRS financial measures. A description of the definition, uses and limitations of these measures, as well as reconciliations to comparable IFRS measures can be found in the “Financial Highlights” table. ***In 2016, our Communications end market was comprised of enterprise communications and telecommunications, and our Diversified end market was comprised of aerospace and defense, industrial, healthcare, smart energy and semiconductor equipment. 2016 LET TER T O SHAREHOLDERS “We are confident in our strategy and believe we are doing the right things to drive sustained profitable growth.”

At Celestica, our guiding principle is Think Bigger, Reach Further. This mindset drives big ideas, creative problem solving and ground-breaking innovation. It empowers us every day to challenge the status quo in ways that transform the way we work with our customers and enable their success. EXPAND C APABILITIES. ENABLE CUSTOMER SUCCESS. Increasingly, our customers are looking to Celestica to provide a full range of end-to-end solutions to support their business. In addition to our reputation for outstanding quality and flawless transfers, we are winning with the leaders in Aerospace and Defense because we offer a full range of specialized services including seamless integration of circuit card assemblies, box build, test and value engineering as well as maintenance, repair and overhaul services (MRO). To further enhance our capabilities, we completed a transaction to purchase Karel Manufacturing’s assets, giving us additional vertical build-to-print capabilities in precision machining and complex wire harness assembly, enabling reduced supply chain complexity and cost for our customers across a broad range of markets. IMAGINE TOGETHER . BUILD THE FUTURE . Celestica has created a Customer Experience Centre in the heart of Silicon Valley. This is a collaborative environment that enables customers to tap into Celestica’s global network of industry experts. We pride ourselves in having some of the smartest people in the business, and this space brings them closer to our customers, enabling collaboration, innovation and success. It is a place for customers to think about the unlimited possibilities ahead, and shape the future of their business.

DESIGN DIFFERENTLY. UNLOCK OPPORTUNIT Y. In the Storage, Server and Communications markets, Celestica has earned a reputation as a design leader that works collaboratively with customers to drive innovation and deliver the latest technologies to market. We invest in next-generation IT infrastructure solutions that enable our customers to get to market faster and grow. Our cohesive Joint Design and Manufacturing portfolio includes fully customizable solutions that improve productivity and maximize efficiency for our customers through advanced technology. Combining our legacy of enterprise-class quality with a cloud economic model, our compelling and unique offerings help our customers navigate expanding portfolios and rapidly evolving markets. DRIVE INNOVATION. REDEFINE POSSIBLE . Innovation no longer happens within a company’s four walls. Leading companies are looking to other industries to help drive smarter solutions. thyssenkrupp is one such company. Understanding that quality and innovation are the hallmarks of thyssenkrupp’s brand, Celestica worked with thyssenkrupp Elevator to bring MAX , a game-changing Internet of Things solution, from the drawing board to volume production. Managing design throughout the process without sacrificing quality, reliability or impacting time-to-market for MAX was crucial. OPTIMIZE PROCESSES. UNCOVER INSIGHTS. The Internet of Things is changing the nature of the business environment that our customers operate in today, opening up new opportunities. At Celestica, we are connecting, coordinating and continuously optimizing our people, equipment and processes in a digital environment. We are investing in automation solutions, the equipment to digitally connect our factories, and data analytics to drive greater value for our customers. 2016 LET TER T O SHAREHOLDERS

* The financial highlights table includes data prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and non-IFRS measures.
1.         Management uses non-IFRS measures to assess operating performance and the effective use and allocation of resources; to provide more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of operating results; to enhance investors’ understanding of the core operating results of Celestica’s business; and to set management incentive targets. We believe investors use both IFRS and non-IFRS measures to assess management’s past, current and future decisions associated with our priorities and our allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how our business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact our core operations. We believe the non-IFRS measures presented herein are useful to investors, as they enable investors to evaluate and compare our results from operations and cash resources generated from our business in a more consistent manner (by excluding specific items that we do not consider to be reflective of our ongoing operating results) and provide an analysis of operating results using the same measures our chief operating decision makers use to measure performance. The non-IFRS financial measures result largely from management’s determination that the facts and circumstances surrounding the excluded charges or recoveries are not indicative of the ordinary course of our ongoing operation of our business. Our non-IFRS measures include adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue, operating earnings (adjusted EBIAT), operating margin (adjusted EBIAT as a percentage of revenue), adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per share, free cash flow, days sales outstanding, inventory turns, cash cycle days and adjusted return on invested capital (adjusted ROIC). Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-IFRS measures are not measures of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS, Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The most significant limitation to management’s use of non-IFRS financial measures is that the charges or credits excluded from the non-IFRS measures are nonetheless charges or credits that are recognized under IFRS and that have an economic impact on us. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by issuing IFRS results to show a complete picture of our performance, and reconciling non-IFRS results back to IFRS results where a comparable IFRS measure exists.	2.         Non-IFRS adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing non-IFRS adjusted gross profit by revenue. Non-IFRS adjusted gross profit is calculated by excluding employee stock-based compensation expense from IFRS gross profit. Non-IFRS adjusted SG&A percentage is calculated by dividing non-IFRS adjusted SG&A by revenue. Non-IFRS adjusted SG&A is calculated by excluding employee stock-based compensation expense from IFRS SG&A.
3.         Management uses non-IFRS operating earnings (or adjusted EBIAT) as a measure to assess our operational performance related to our core operations. Non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT is defined as net earnings before finance costs (consisting of interest and fees related to our credit facilities, accounts receivable sales program, and a customer’s supplier financing program), refund interest income in 2016, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software) and income taxes. Non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT also excludes, in periods where such charges have been recorded, employee stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, including acquisition-related transaction costs, net of recoveries (most significantly restructuring charges), impairment charges (most significantly the write-down of goodwill in 2014), and gains or losses related to the repurchase of our securities. We have provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBIAT to IFRS net earnings in the table.
4.         Refund interest income represents the refund of interest on cash previously held on account with tax authorities in connection with the resolution of certain previously-disputed tax matters in the second half of 2016.
5.         Non-IFRS adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings before employee stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), restructuring and other charges, including acquisition-related transaction costs, net of recoveries (most significantly restructuring charges), impairment charges (most significantly the write-down of goodwill in 2014), gains or losses related to the repurchase of our securities, and adjustment for taxes (explained in note 10 below). We have provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to IFRS net earnings in the table.
6.         Working capital, net of cash, is calculated as accounts receivable and inventory less accounts payable, including accrued and other current liabilities and provisions.	7.         Management uses non-IFRS free cash flow as a measure, in addition to IFRS cash flow from operations, to assess operational cash flow performance. We believe non-IFRS free cash flow provides another level of transparency to our liquidity. Non-IFRS free cash flow is defined as: cash provided by or used in operating activities after the purchase of property, plant and equipment (net of proceeds from the sale of certain surplus equipment and property), finance lease payments, advances to (or repayments from) a solar supplier, and finance costs paid. Non-IFRS free cash flow for 2015 included cash deposits we received on the anticipated sale of our Toronto real property. Note that non-IFRS free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available to Celestica for discretionary expenditures.
8.         Non-IFRS days sales outstanding (or days in accounts receivable) is calculated as average accounts receivable divided by average daily revenue. Non-IFRS inventory turns is calculated as cost of sales for the year divided by average inventory. We use a five-point average to calculate average accounts receivable and inventory for the year. Non-IFRS cash cycle days is calculated as the sum of days in accounts receivable and days in inventory minus days in accounts payable.
9.         Management uses non-IFRS adjusted ROIC as a measure to assess the effectiveness of the invested capital we use to build products or provide services to our customers, by quantifying how well we generate earnings relative to the capital we have invested in our business. Our non-IFRS adjusted ROIC measure reflects non-IFRS operating earnings, working capital management and asset utilization. Non-IFRS adjusted ROIC is calculated by dividing non-IFRS adjusted EBIAT by average net invested capital. Net invested capital consists of the following IFRS measures: total assets less cash, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions, and income taxes payable. We use a five-point average to calculate average net invested capital for the year. A comparable measure under IFRS would be determined by dividing IFRS earnings before income taxes by net invested capital, however, this measure (which we have called IFRS ROIC), is not a measure defined under IFRS.
10.   The adjustment for taxes, as applicable, represent the tax effects on the non-IFRS adjustments.

These and other material risks and uncertainties, as well as other information related to the Company, are discussed in the Company’s various public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with, and subsequent reports on Form 6-K furnished to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and our Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators. Information related to the Company may be requested by contacting Celestica Investor Relations at clsir@celestica.com.
Our forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions, many of which involve factors that are beyond our control. Our material assumptions include those related to the following: production schedules from our customers, which generally range from 30 days to 90 days and can fluctuate significantly in terms of volume and mix of products or services; the timing and execution of, and investments associated with, ramping new business; the success in the marketplace of our customers’ products; the stability of general economic and	market conditions, currency exchange rates and interest rates; our pricing, the competitive environment and contract terms and conditions; supplier performance, pricing and terms; compliance by third parties with their contractual obligations, the accuracy of their representations and warranties, and the performance of their covenants; the costs and availability of components, materials, services, plant and capital equipment, labor, energy and transportation; operational and financial matters, including the extent, timing and costs of replacing revenue from completed or lost programs, or customer disengagements; technological developments; overall demand improvement in the semiconductor industry; revenue growth and improved financial results in our semiconductor business; the timing and extent of recoveries from the sale of inventory and manufacturing equipment related to our exit from the solar panel manufacturing business, and our ability to recover amounts outstanding from a former solar supplier; the timing, execution, and effect of restructuring actions; our having sufficient financial resources and working capital to fund currently anticipated financial obligations and to pursue desirable business opportunities; and our ability to diversify our customer base and develop new capabilities. While management believes these assumptions to be reasonable under the current circumstances, they may prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Note that the CEO letter also refers to certain non-IFRS financial measures (specifically, operating margin, operating earnings, free cash flow and adjusted return on invested capital). A description of the definition, uses and limitation of these measures, as well as reconciliations to comparable IFRS measures can be found in the “Financial Highlights” table, as well as the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and quarterly press releases, which are available at www.celestica.com, and can also be found at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.
