NIKE, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), the Company grants to the individual listed below (the “Participant”) the number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) set forth below. The grant of RSUs obligates the Company to deliver one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (a “Share”) for each RSU upon vesting, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement between the Company and the Participant (this “Agreement”). The Company also agrees that upon the vesting of each RSU, the Company will make a dividend equivalent cash payment with respect to such vested RSU in an amount equal to the total amount of dividends paid per Share for which the dividend record dates occurred after the Grant Date set forth below and before the date of delivery of the underlying Share (the “Dividend Equivalent Payment”). By accepting this RSU grant, the Participant agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Agreement and any Appendices included with the Agreement. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

2. Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided in this Section 2, no RSUs will vest unless the Participant is employed by or in the service of the Company on the applicable vesting date and shall have been so employed or provided such service continuously since the Grant Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant is considered to be employed by or in the service of the Company if the Participant is employed by or in the service of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (an “Employer”). If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than the reasons specified in the subsections below, all unvested RSUs shall terminate and be forfeited on the date of such termination.
a) | Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates because of death or total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the RSUs shall immediately vest in full. |
b) | Absence on Leave. Absence on leave or on account of illness or disability under rules established by the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) shall not be deemed an interruption of employment or service. |
c) | Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, treatment shall be pursuant to the terms provided in the Plan, provided that “Good Reason” shall have the meaning provided in the Plan, except that: |
i) | clause (A) of the “Good Reason” definition shall be replaced in its entirety with the following language: “the assignment of a different title, job or responsibilities that results in a material decrease in the level of responsibility of the award holder after Shareholder Approval, if applicable, or the Change in Control when compared to the award holder’s level of responsibility for the Company’s operations prior to Shareholder Approval, if applicable, or the Change in Control; provided that Good Reason shall not exist if the award holder continues to have the same or a greater general level of responsibility for Company operations after the Change in Control as the award holder had prior to the Change in Control even if the Company operations are a subsidiary or division of the surviving company,” and |
ii) | the following language shall be added to the end of the “Good Reason” definition: “Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a termination of an employment or other service relationship by the |
award holder will not be for Good Reason unless (1) the award holder notifies the Company in writing of the existence of the condition that the award holder believes constitutes Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition (which notice specifically identifies such condition), (ii) the Company fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives such notice (the “Remedial Period”), and (iii) the award holder actually terminates the award holder’s employment or other service relationship within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Remedial Period. If the award holder terminates his or her employment or other service relationship before the expiration of the Remedial Period or after the Company remedies the condition, then the award holder’s termination will not be considered to be for Good Reason.”
3. Rights as a Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any RSU, whether vested or unvested, or any Share underlying such RSU, until the RSU vests and the Participant becomes the holder of record of the underlying Share. Except as explicitly provided in this Agreement or the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs before the date the Participant becomes the holder of record.
4. Clawback. The Company may require the Participant to deliver or otherwise repay to the Company the RSUs and any Shares or other amount or property that may be issued, delivered or paid in respect of the RSUs, as well as any consideration that may be received in respect of a sale or other disposition of any such Shares or property, as follows:
a) | If, during the period of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Employer (the “Employment Period”) or at any time thereafter, the Participant has committed or engaged in a breach of confidentiality, or an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise has breached any employee invention and secrecy agreement or similar agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
b) | If, during the Employment Period or at any time thereafter, the Participant has committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, breached any covenant not to compete or non-solicitation or non-disclosure agreement or similar agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or materially breached any other agreement to which the Participant is a party with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
c) | Pursuant to any applicable securities, tax or stock exchange laws, rules or regulations relating to the recoupment or clawback of incentive compensation, as in effect from time to time; |
d) | Pursuant to the NIKE, Inc. Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation as approved by the Committee and in effect on the Grant Date, or such other policy for clawback or recoupment of incentive compensation as may subsequently be approved from time to time by the Committee; or |
e) | If, during the Employment Period or the one (1) year period thereafter (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant, directly or indirectly, owns, manages, controls or participates in the ownership, management or control of, or becomes employed by, consults for or becomes connected in any manner with, any business engaged anywhere in the world in the athletic footwear, athletic apparel or sports equipment, sports electronics/technology and sports accessories business or any other business that directly competes with the then-current existing or reasonably anticipated business of the Company or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliated corporations (a “Competitor”); the Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to elect to waive all or a portion of the Restriction Period or to limit the definition of Competitor. |
5. Delivery. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, within 30 days after any of the RSUs become vested, the Company shall deliver to the Participant for each RSU that vested (a) one Share in either certificated form, uncertificated form or via book entry credit, and (b) the Dividend Equivalent Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company or Employer without Cause or the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason after Shareholder Approval but before a Change in Control and (ii) the Change in Control occurs within one year following such termination, such Shares and the Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be delivered simultaneously with the closing of the Change in Control such that the Participant will participate as a shareholder in receiving proceeds from such transaction with respect to those Shares.
6. Nontransferability. The RSUs are nonassignable and nontransferable by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the Participant’s domicile at the time of death.
7. Responsibility for Taxes.
a) | The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to the Participant even if technically due by the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually |
withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) 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 settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or any Dividend Equivalent Payment, and (ii) 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 the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
b) | The Participant shall, immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the Company by wire transfer, or irrevocably instruct a broker to pay from stock sales proceeds, amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If additional withholding is or becomes required (as a result of vesting or settlement of any RSUs or as a result of the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of any RSUs) beyond any amount deposited before delivery of the Shares, the Participant shall pay such amount to the Company, by wire transfer, on demand. If the Participant fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company or the Employer may withhold that amount from other amounts payable to the Participant, including salary, subject to applicable law. |
8. Changes in Capital Structure. If the outstanding Shares are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number and kind of shares subject to the unvested RSUs so that the Participant’s proportionate interest before and after the occurrence of the event is maintained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have no obligation to effect any adjustment that would or might result in the issuance of fractional shares, and any fractional shares resulting from any adjustment may be disregarded or provided for in any manner determined by the Committee. Any such adjustments made by the Committee shall be conclusive.
9. Electronic Delivery/Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. If the Participant does not complete the on-line or electronic acceptance process, the Participant will be deemed to have accepted the RSUs and have agreed to the terms provided in the Plan and this Agreement prior to the first vest date.
10. Additional Company Provisions.
a) | Conditions on Obligations. The Company shall not be obligated to issue Shares upon vesting of the RSUs if the Company is advised by its legal counsel that such issuance would violate applicable U.S. or non-U.S. state or federal laws or regulations, including securities laws or exchange control regulations. |
b) | Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements upon the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. |
c) | Amendments. The Company may at any time amend this Agreement, provided that no amendment that adversely impacts the rights of the Participant under this Agreement may be made without the Participant’s written consent. |
d) | Committee Determinations. The Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Committee or other administrator of the Plan as to the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement or any questions arising thereunder or hereunder. |
e) | Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. |
f) | Governing Law; Attorneys’ Fees. The RSUs and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Oregon. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and agree that such litigation shall exclusively be conducted in, the courts of Washington County, Oregon or the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. In the event either party institutes litigation hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees to be set by the trial court and, upon any appeal, the appellate court. |
g) | Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or otherwise. To the extent Section 409A of the Code is applicable to this Agreement and such benefits, the parties intend that this Agreement and such benefits comply with the deferral, payout, and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any delivery or distribution contemplated under this Agreement will be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined in the NIKE, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan or any subsequent deferred compensation plan of the Company, as in effect from time to time) at the time of a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period following the Participant’s separation from service, and (ii) the Participant’s death, to the extent such delayed payment is otherwise required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment or benefit payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the Plan may be amended by the Company at any time, without the consent of any party, to the extent necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Section 409A of the Code, but the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company or any affiliate based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any amount paid or RSUs granted under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall under any circumstances have any liability to the Participant or his or her estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code. |
11. Additional Participant Provisions
a) | No Right to Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall (i) confer upon the Participant any right to be continued in the employment of an Employer or interfere in any way with the Employer’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment at will at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause, or to decrease the Participant’s compensation or benefits, or (ii) confer upon the Participant any right to be retained or employed by the Employer or to the continuation, extension, renewal or modification of any compensation, contract or arrangement with or by the Employer. The determination of whether to grant any RSUs under the Plan is made by the Company in its sole discretion.

Moreover, if the Participant relocates outside of the United States to one of the countries included in Appendix B, or from one such country to another such country, the special terms and conditions for all non-U.S. participants and for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendices A and B constitutes part of this Agreement.
13. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including the Appendices A and B, and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company, both oral and written, concerning the matters addressed herein, except with regard to the imposition of other requirements as described under Section 10(b) above, and all prior agreements or representations concerning the matters addressed herein, whether written or oral, express or implied, are terminated and of no further effect.

1.8 | unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not granted for, or in connection with, any service the Participant may provide as a director of any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company; |
1.9 | the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; |
1.10 | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs, the Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company, any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, including the Employer; |
1.11 | unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Shares and benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Shares or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporation transaction affecting the Shares; and |

2. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporation for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships
held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE Corporate Financial Services, Inc. and any of its affiliated companies (“E*TRADE”), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
Upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
3. Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Furthermore, if the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
4. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, the broker’s country, or the country in which the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell, or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs), or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times as the he or she is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and the Participant’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Participant may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the applicable Company Insider Trading Policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
5. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Participant acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt.

Securities Law Information. The Participant will not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares acquired under the Plan within Canada. The Participant will be permitted to sell or dispose of any Shares only if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of the stock exchange on which the Shares are traded (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the total value of the Participant’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year, the Participant must report all of his or her foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) by April 30 of the following year. Foreign property includes Shares acquired under the Plan and may include the RSUs. The RSUs must be reported--generally at a nil cost--if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the Participant holds. If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the Shares at vesting, but if the Participant owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Participant should speak with a personal tax advisor to determine the scope of foreign property that must be considered for purposes of this requirement.

The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case, without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative, whose contact details are Mari McBurney, 30 Pasir Panjang Rd #10-31/32, 117440, Singapore; +65 6216 7812; ***@***. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the consent is that the Company would not be able to grant future RSUs or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative. |
Director Notification Obligation. If the Participant is a director of the Company’s Malaysian subsidiary, he or she is subject to certain notification requirements under the Malaysian Companies Act.

SPAIN
Terms and Conditions
Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 1 of Appendix A:
In accepting the RSUs, the Participant consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant stock RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation 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, the Employer, or any parent or subsidiary corporation. Consequently, the Participant understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and any Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company, the Employer, or any parent or subsidiary corporation) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the RSUs and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that the RSUs would not be granted to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the RSUs shall be null and void.
The RSUs are a conditional right to Shares and can be forfeited in the case of, or affected by, the Participant’s termination of service or employment. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Participant terminates employment or service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Participant terminates employment or service due to unilateral breach of contract of the Company, the Employer, or any parent or subsidiary corporation; or (5) the Participant’s employment or service terminates for any other reason whatsoever, except for reasons specified in the Agreement. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s employment or service for any of the reasons set forth above, the Participant may automatically lose any rights to the unvested RSUs granted to him or her as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
Notifications

The Participant must declare the acquisition of Shares to the Dirección General de Comercial e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministerio de Economia for statistical purposes.

In addition, if the Participant wishes to import the ownership title of any Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the DGCI.
Further, the Participant is required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000.
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and the Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs are considered a private placement outside of the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities.

To the extent that the Participant holds Shares and/or has bank accounts outside Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31, the Participant will be required to report information on such assets on his or her tax return (tax form 720) for such year.

Exchange Control Information. The Participant likely will be required to engage a Turkish financial intermediary to assist with the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. While the Participant should not need to engage a Turkish financial intermediary with respect to the acquisition of such Shares (as no consideration is paid), this is less certain. As the Participant is solely responsible for complying with the financial intermediary requirements and because the application of the requirements to participation in the Plan is uncertain, the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs or any sale of Shares to ensure compliance.
