That't not correct at all. 2% are expected to be in the lowest bucket. 4% are expected to be in another "below normal" ratings bucket. Neither of these ratings are tied to PIPs. Even in the old system, most people who received "Needs Improvement" ratings were not given PIPs. Google also gave details of the rating system and expected distributions in March, not December.
