International Notice of Terms
Restricted Stock Units (Stock-Settled)
To:        «Name»
BEMSID:    «BEMS_ID»
Grant Date:    «Date»
As part of its executive compensation program, The Boeing Company (the “Company”) has awarded you a Restricted Stock Unit award (the “Award”) pursuant to The Boeing Company 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), and the provisions contained herein (the “Notice”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. Your Award is subject to the terms of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Notice and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall control. You are required to accept and acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Award, through the mechanism and procedures determined by the Company, as a condition to receiving the Award. The terms and conditions of the Award are as follows:
1.    RSU Award. You have been awarded «RSU_Units» Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Each RSU corresponds to one share of Common Stock.
2.    RSU Account. The Company will maintain a record of the number of awarded RSUs in an account established in your name.
3.    Vesting of RSUs. Subject to Sections 6 and 7, your RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (or if such date is not a Trading Day, the next Trading Day) (the “Vesting Date”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the Vesting Date, you shall receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of RSUs that vest as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RSUs may be settled in the form of: (a) cash, to the extent settlement in shares of Common Stock (i) is not standard Company practice in your country of employment (ii) is prohibited under applicable laws, (iii) would require you, the Company or, if different, the Related Company that employs you (the “Employer”) to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome; or (b) shares of Common Stock, but the Company may require you to immediately sell such shares if necessary to comply with applicable laws (in which case, you hereby expressly authorize the Company to issue sales instructions in relation to such shares on your behalf). If, after the grant date but prior to the Vesting Date, you transfer employment to a Related Company in another country (you will be considered to have transferred to a Related Company if you are paid through that Related Company’s payroll) and the Company does not settle RSUs in shares of Common Stock in that country, the RSUs will be settled in cash. Subject to the terms and conditions outlined under Section 6 and 7, this Award is granted on the condition that you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date. “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
4.    Dividend Equivalents.
4.1 While RSUs are in your account, they will earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs. Specifically, as of each dividend payment date for Common Stock, your RSU account will be credited with additional RSUs (“dividend equivalent RSUs”) equal in number to the number of shares of Common Stock that could be bought with the cash dividends that would be paid on the RSUs in your account if each RSU were one share of Common Stock.
4.2 The number of shares of Common Stock that could be bought with the cash dividends will be calculated to two decimal places and will be based on the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock on the applicable dividend payment date. For purposes of this Award, “Fair Market Value” means the average of the high and the low per share trading prices for Common Stock as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the specific dividend payment date, or by such other source as the Company deems reliable.
4.3 Dividend equivalent RSUs will vest at the same time and in the same manner as the RSUs with which they are associated.
5.     Adjustment in Number of RSUs. The number of RSUs in your account will be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from any stock split, combination or exchange of Common Stock, consolidation, spin-off or recapitalization of Common Stock, or any similar capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend.




6.    Impact of Certain Terminations.
6.1 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement or layoff on or after attaining age 62 with at least one year of service, and provided (in the case of retirement) that you have given the Company sufficient advance notice of your retirement (i.e., at least 60 days), you will remain eligible to vest in, and receive distribution of, your RSUs (including any dividend equivalent RSUs) in accordance with Section 3 as though you had continued employment through the Vesting Date.
6.2 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement on or after attaining age 55 with at least ten years of service or under conditions that satisfy the requirements for “retirement” under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate, or due to layoff (in each case, prior to attaining at least age 62 with at least one year of service), your RSUs (including any dividend equivalent RSUs) will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the vesting period (beginning with the first full calendar month after the Grant Date). Payment for this Award will be made at the same time as payment would have been made pursuant to Section 3 had your employment not terminated prior to the Vesting Date.
6.3 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of death or disability, you will immediately vest in your RSUs (including any dividend equivalent RSUs). Payment for this Award will be made as soon as administratively possible, but not later than 60 days after, your termination of employment. For purposes of this Award, “disability” means a disability entitling you to benefits under any long-term disability policy sponsored by the Company or a Related Company, or as such term is required to be defined for these purposes under applicable local law.
7.    Forfeiture Upon Other Terminations. In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason (including for cause and resignation prior to retirement eligibility) other than those reasons described in Section 6, all RSUs (and all associated dividend equivalent RSUs) granted hereunder shall immediately be forfeited and canceled.
8.    Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise required by law, in the event you have an authorized leave of absence at any time during the vesting period which absence extends beyond three full calendar months (including any absence that began before the Grant Date), your RSU payout, including any dividend equivalent RSUs, will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the vesting period (beginning with the first full calendar month after the Grant Date).
9.    Transferability. RSUs are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution. You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Award in the event of your death.
10.    Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.
10.1 This Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Award are subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, as amended from time to time (the “Policy”). The Policy provides (among other things) that an Award may be subject to clawback and forfeiture (meaning that the Award or proceeds thereof must be promptly returned to the Company if already distributed, or that you will lose your entitlement to an Award if it has not yet been distributed) in the discretion of the Committee, if the Committee determines that you have (i) violated, or engaged in negligent conduct in connection with the supervision of someone who violated, any Company policy, law, or regulation that has compromised the safety of any of the Company’s products or services and has, or reasonably could be expected to have, a material adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s customers or the public; or (ii) engaged in fraud, bribery, or illegal acts like fraud or bribery, or knowingly failed to report such acts of an employee over whom you had direct supervisory responsibility.
10.2 In addition, subject to applicable law, or except as may be otherwise provided in the Addendum, this Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Award are subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, prior to the second anniversary of the later of the Vesting Date or receipt of payment of the Award: you (i) plead or admit to, are convicted of, or are otherwise found guilty of a criminal or indictable offense involving theft, fraud, embezzlement, or other similar unlawful acts against the Company or against the Company’s interests; (ii) directly or indirectly engage in competition with any aspect of Company business with which you were involved or about which you gained Company proprietary or confidential information; (iii) induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s employees, representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract with the Company, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with, you or any third party; (iv) disparage or defame the Company or its products or current or former employees, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit any individual from reporting, in good faith, suspected unlawful conduct in the workplace; or (v) take, misappropriate, use or disclose Company proprietary or confidential information. Clawback can, if possible and where permitted by local law, be made by deducting payments that will become due in future (including salary, bonuses, or share awards). Your acceptance of this Award shall constitute your acknowledgement and recognition that your compliance with




this Section 10 is a condition for your receipt of this Award. For purposes of this Section 10, the Company shall include the Company and all Related Companies.
10.3 Nothing in this Section 10 will apply to legally protected communications to government agencies or statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings.
11.    Tax Withholding. Subject to the terms of the Plan and as a condition to the grant of the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or payment of the RSUs; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. If your country of employment (and/or the country of residence, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, then prior to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock or cash upon the vesting of this Award, the Company, the Employer, or any plan administrator, as applicable: (x) shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of this Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld (in which case, the cash equivalent of such withheld shares of Common Stock shall be used to settle the withholding obligation); or (y) shall withhold an amount from your regular salary and/or wages, or from any other amounts payable to you, equal to the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company, the Employer, or any plan administrator, as applicable, may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, but such withholding shall not exceed an amount of withholding based on the maximum statutory rates in your applicable tax jurisdiction(s) (unless a lesser amount of withholding is required to avoid the classification of this Award as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or other adverse accounting treatment).
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock or through your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued to you and no cash payment will be made unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or its delegate) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to this Award. If you are subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting the grant of this Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or the withholding of amounts from your regular salary and/or wages, or other amounts payable to you, as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any shares of Common Stock or cash acquired pursuant to the vesting of this Award are your sole responsibility.

1.    Data Privacy. If you reside or are employed in the EU or EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, the following provision replaces Section 12 of this Notice.
The Company is located at 100 North Riverside, Chicago, IL 60606, U.S.A. and grants RSUs under the Plan to you at the Company’s sole discretion. You should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes uses, and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about you for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or the Employer. In granting you RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee equity awards. Your refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, use, processing and transfer of your personal data as described herein.
Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers your data to Computershare Limited, an independent service provider based in Australia, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States and Australia.

The performance of the contractual obligations of the Company to you is one of the legal bases for the transfer of your data from the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom to the United States and Australia. You should be aware that the United States and Australia have different data privacy laws and protections than the data privacy laws in place in the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Participant’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data.

You agree to hold any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the Award with the Company’s designated broker. Upon a termination of employment, if you hold Common Stock and the Award is not paid in cash, you shall be required to sell all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award within 180 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or the Company) of the termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the shares of Common Stock (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on your behalf), and you hereby agree to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China. You understand and agree that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Related Companies, and you hereby consent and agree that dividends issued on shares of Common Stock and sales proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan may be transferred to such account by the Company on your behalf prior to being delivered to you. Dividends and/or sales proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If dividends and/or sales proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the dividends or proceeds may be deposited into this account. If dividends and/or sales proceeds are paid to you in local currency, you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and/or proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time dividends are issued or shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Related Companies in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

Cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock can be remitted directly to a foreign individual bank account in OECD or FATF countries, provided that such securities are listed on one of the foreign stock exchange on the list provided for by Russian federal law (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange). Other cash proceeds derived from the Plan must be remitted directly to a personal bank account opened with an authorized bank in the Russian Federation (an “Authorized Russian Account”). Thereafter, you may, in your sole discretion, personally transfer such amounts from your Authorized Russian Account to a bank account legally established outside of the Russian Federation with a non-Russian bank located in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development or the Financial Action Task Force countries (an “Authorized Foreign Account”). Cash dividends (but not dividend equivalents payable in cash) can be remitted directly to an Authorized Foreign Account. However, you are required to notify the Russian tax authorities within one month of opening or closing an Authorized Foreign Account or changing the account details. You also are required to file quarterly reports of any transactions involving any Authorized Foreign Account you hold with the Russian tax authorities. You may hold shares of Common Stock in a brokerage account in the U.S.; however, in no event will shares of Common Stock issued to you under the Plan be delivered to you in Russia. You are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals.
2.    No Offering of Securities in Russia. You acknowledge that the RSUs, this Notice, the Plan and all other materials that you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. Any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan have not and will not be registered in Russia and, therefore, neither the RSUs nor the shares of Common Stock may be used for offering or public circulation in Russia. In no event will the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan be delivered to you in Russia. All the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan will be maintained on behalf of you outside of Russia. You will not be permitted to sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Common Stock directly to a Russian legal entity or resident.

Accordingly, statutory liability under the SFA in relation to the content of prospectuses would not apply.

Spain
1.    Securities Law Information. Your participation in the Plan and any Common Stock issued thereunder do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
2.    Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the RSUs; No Vested Rights. In accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge that you consent to participate in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan. You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted the RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Related Companies throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Related Companies on an ongoing basis. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock or cash acquired upon vesting of the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Related Companies) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above. Thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of the RSUs under this Notice shall be null and void.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs and unless otherwise provided in this Notice, the unvested portion of the RSUs as of the date of your termination will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or cash or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, (i) material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute or (ii) relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute. You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in this Notice regarding the impact of a termination on your RSUs.

Clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 10.2 shall not apply.
    This Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Award are also subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, within the Restricted Period: directly or indirectly, for your own benefit or that of others, (a) be employed by or otherwise provide services to a Competing Business which is being carried out or to be carried out in any Restricted Territory; (b) set up or carry on a Competing Business which is being carried out or to be carried out in any Restricted Territory; (c) solicit, attempt to solicit, assist in soliciting, entice away, or try to entice away, from the Company or any Related Company any Key Person; or (d) be personally involved to a material extent in accepting into employment, recruiting, engaging, or otherwise using the services of any Key Person. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the restrictions contained in this Section prevent you from holding any shares or other securities in any company or from doing anything for which the Company has given its prior written consent. The Company encourages you to seek such consent if necessary.
The restrictions this Section are considered by the parties to be fair and reasonable in all circumstances. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section, including the sub-paragraphs and sub-clauses thereof, constitutes an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction. If any restriction is found to be invalid this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other restrictions. It is agreed that if any such restrictions by themselves, or taken together, are for any reason unenforceable, but would be enforceable if part or parts of the wording were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such deletion(s) as may be necessary to make it or them valid and enforceable.
For the purposes of this Section, any capitalized terms shall have the following meaning:
“Competing Business” means any business which competes with or is preparing to compete with (a) any business carried on by the Company or any Related Company; or (b) any business which the Company or any Related Company is proposing to carry on and has taken material steps towards conducting; and in each of cases (a) and (b) in respect of which business of the Company or Related Company you: (i) had material responsibilities (including, without limitation, supervisory or management responsibilities) or carried out material duties; or (ii) otherwise obtained Relevant Confidential Information, in each case in the course of your employment.
“Key Person” means any employee, director, or consultant engaged by the Company or any Related Company who provides or has provided executive, managerial, supervisory, financial, engineering, creative, professional, technical, account handling, or similar services to the Company or any Related Company (a) with whom you have had material dealings; or (b) in respect of whom you have obtained Relevant Confidential Information about their skills, role, responsibilities, expertise, or other Relevant Confidential Information or material nonpublic information relevant to their potential recruitment or engagement, in each case at any time during the course of your employment.
“Relevant Confidential Information” means information not generally known outside the Company or any Related Company or information entrusted to the Company or any Related Company by third parties, which may relate (by way of example and without limitation) to inventions, formulas, patterns, devices, methods, processes, computer technology and programming, research, development, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, marketing, or selling, and may be contained (by way of example and without limitation) in materials such as drawings, models,




data, specifications, records, reports, complications, or computer programs, and may be in the nature of unwritten knowledge or know-how, in each case, that may or would be of value to any business which competes or is preparing to compete with the Company or a Related Company.
“Restricted Period” means the period ending on the earlier of: (a) the second anniversary of the later of the Vesting Date or the payment date for the Award; or (b) the six month anniversary of your termination of employment.
“Restricted Territory” means: (a) the United Kingdom; or (b) any other country where the Company or a Related Company carries out business and in relation to which you have had material responsibilities (including, without limitation, supervisory or management responsibilities) or carried out material duties during the course of your employment; or (c) any other country where the Company or a Related Company carries out business and in relation to which you acquired Relevant Confidential Information during the course of your employment.
2.    Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding. The following provision shall replace Section 11 of this Notice:
Without limitation to Section 11 of this Notice, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 11 of this Notice.
3.    Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you shall have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment with the Company or any Related Company for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vesting in your RSUs as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of your RSUs. Upon the grant of your RSUs, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
4.     Brexit. To the extent that the United Kingdom is no longer a part of the European Union following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, but the laws discussed herein still apply to the United Kingdom for a period of time following the withdrawal, all references to the European Union shall include the United Kingdom, unless otherwise stated in this document.
