Pentair plc (the “Company”), pursuant to the Pentair plc 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby grants you an option to purchase (“Option”) the number of ordinary shares of the Company (“Shares”) set forth below. If you are a U.S. taxpayer and the Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option below, the Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Option is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein and in the attached Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) and the Plan, both of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Grant Notice or the Award Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Unless you decline the Option within 90 days following the Date of Grant through an electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the following: this Grant Notice, the Award Agreement, and the Plan.

Pursuant to the notice of grant (the “Grant Notice”) and this Stock Option Award Agreement, including any exhibits hereto (collectively, this “Award Agreement”), Pentair plc (the “Company”) has granted to you an option to purchase (the “Option”) the number of ordinary shares of the Company (“Shares”) specified in the Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in the Grant Notice. If the Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, additional terms are set forth in the Addendum for the United States. Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement but defined in the Pentair plc 2020 Share and Incentive Plan, as may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Plan”), shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. Unless you decline this Award Agreement within 90 days, you agree to be bound by all of the provisions contained in this Award Agreement and the Plan.

1.Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Option will vest as provided in the Grant Notice.

2.Exercise of the Option.

2.1 Method of Exercise. You may exercise the vested portion of the Option (provided the Fair Market Value of the Shares exercised exceeds the exercise price) at any time prior to the expiration of the Option (as described in Section 4 below) by delivering a notice of exercise in such form as may be designated by the Company from time to time, or making the required electronic election with the Company’s designated broker, and paying the exercise price and any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 5 below) to the Company’s share plan administrator or such other person as the Company may designate, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

2.2 Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price may be made by one or a combination of the methods available under the Company’s exercise procedures, which may include:

(a)Payment by cash or check.

(b)Payment by transfer to the Company of whole Shares you already own having a Fair Market Value determined at the time of exercise of the Option equal to, but not exceeding, the exercise price and any Tax-Related Items.

(c)A broker-assisted “cashless exercise” transaction pursuant to which a third party (engaged by you or the Company) loans funds to you to enable you to purchase Shares and pay any Tax-Related Items, and then sells a sufficient number of the exercised Shares on your behalf to enable you to repay the loan and any fees. The remaining Shares and/or cash are then delivered by the third party to you.

(d)A “net exercise” transaction, pursuant to which the Company delivers to you the net number of whole Shares remaining from the portion of the Option being exercised after deduction of a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price and any Tax-Related Items.

The Company may suspend, or eliminate, various forms of permissible payment of the exercise price from time to time in its sole discretion. Further, notwithstanding any provision within this Award Agreement to the contrary, if you are resident or provide services outside of the United States, the Administrator may require that you (or in the event of your death, your legal representative, as the case may be) exercise the Option in a method other than as specified above, may require you to exercise the Option only by means of a broker-assisted cashless

exercise procedure as it determines in its sole discretion, or may require you to sell any Shares you acquire under the Plan immediately or within a specified period following your termination of service from the Company or any of its Affiliates (in which case, you hereby agree that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).

2.3 Responsibility for Exercise. You are responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to exercise the Option in a timely manner and for properly executing any such documents as may be required for exercise in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be established from time to time. By accepting the Option you acknowledge that information regarding the procedures and requirements for the exercise of the Option is available to you on request. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any duty or obligation to notify you of the expiration date of the Option.

2.4 No Fractional Shares. Only whole Shares will be issuable pursuant to the Option; any fractional Share otherwise issuable under the Option will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

3.Effect of Termination of Service. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided in the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Option shall be exercisable after termination of your service (for any reason except for Cause) with the Company or any of its Affiliate, for up to 90 days after your termination date or, if earlier, the expiration of the Option. Exceptions are made for termination of service due to death, Retirement (provided that the Committee has determined you have ten years of service with the Company and its Affiliates based on your previous employment with the Company and its Affiliates for purposes of Sections 2(ii)(i) and 14(b) of the Plan, but not for purposes of Section 14(c) of the Plan), Disability or a Covered Termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

If your service with the Company or any of its Affiliates terminates for Cause, the Option (whether or not then vested) shall terminate in its entirety no later than your last day of service. In addition, if after your service terminates, the Company determines that it or an Affiliate could have terminated your service for Cause had all relevant facts been known at the time of your termination, then the Company may terminate the Option (whether vested or unvested) immediately upon such determination, and you will be prohibited from exercising the Option thereafter. In such event, you will be notified of the termination of the Option.

For purposes of the Option, your service will be considered terminated as of the date you cease active service with the Company or any of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you provide services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (a) your right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you provide services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any); and (b) the period (if any) during which you may exercise the Option after such termination of service will commence on the date you cease active service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you provide services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any; the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you have ceased active service for purposes of your Option grant (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

4.Term of the Option. The term of the Option commences on the Date of Grant (as specified in the Grant Notice) and expires upon the earliest of:

(a)the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice; or

(b)the last day for exercising the Option following your termination of service as described in Section 3 above (the “Option Expiration Date”).

As an administrative matter, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised only until the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the applicable date indicated in this Section 4 or, if such date is not a trading day on the NYSE, the last trading day before such date. The Option shall no longer be exercisable after the Option Expiration Date and any later attempt to exercise the Option will not be honored.

5.Tax Withholding. You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate that employs you (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 or deemed by the Company or the Employer in their discretion to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. 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 Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge 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.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iii) withholding from the Shares to be delivered upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required by law to be withheld; or (iv) permitting you to tender back to the Company a number of Shares delivered upon exercise of the Option or Shares previously owned by you having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required by law to be withheld. For purposes of the foregoing, no fractional Share will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Option and the issuance of Shares hereunder.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount from the relevant taxing authority in cash and will have no entitlement to the share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from the Shares to be delivered upon exercise of the Option, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Option, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

You agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares until arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator have been made in connection with the Tax-Related Items. You will have no further rights with respect to any Shares that are retained by the Company pursuant to this provision.

6.Recoupment. The Option and any Shares issued under the Option are subject to recoupment in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations thereunder, any clawback policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy or practice otherwise required by applicable law. The Company shall have the right to offset against any other amounts due from the Company to you the amount owed by you hereunder.

7.Confidentiality, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement. As a condition to the receipt of the Options, you expressly agree to the terms and conditions in the Confidentiality, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition to any remedies available to the Company under the first paragraph and Section 6 of Exhibit A, any violation of the terms and conditions of Exhibit A will result in a rescission of the Options made under this Award Agreement and a forfeiture of rights you have with respect thereto.

8.Securities Law Compliance. The grant of the Option and the issuance of Shares are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchange as may be required. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all laws and the applicable requirements of any governmental agency, securities exchange or similar entity, and unless and until you have taken all actions required by the Company in connection with the Option. The Company may impose such restrictions on any Shares issued under the Plan as the Company determines necessary or desirable to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations or requirements.

9.Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable in any manner (including without limitation, sale, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment) other than transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan. All rights with respect to the Option shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your guardian or legal representative or permitted transferee.

10.Shareholder Rights. You shall not have any voting rights or any other rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares (if any) are issued upon exercise of the Option.

11.Insider Trading and/or Market Abuse. By participating in the Plan, you agree to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to you). You further acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in your country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you place before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party

(other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. You understand that third parties include fellow employees. Any restriction under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that you should therefore consult your personal advisor on this matter.

12.Code Section 409A. For U.S. taxpayers, it is the intent that the Option as set forth in this Award Agreement shall qualify for exemption from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so qualify or comply. The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Award Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all payments provided for under this Award Agreement are made in a manner that qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option provided for under this Award Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option. The Company will have no liability to you or any other party if the Option, the delivery of Shares upon exercise of the Option or other payment hereunder that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Company with respect thereto.
