PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to your Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), Pinterest, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted you (“Participant”), as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice, a restricted stock unit award consisting of the number of performance-based restricted stock units (the “PSUs”) set forth in the Grant Notice pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and any applicable sub-plan for a particular country (together, the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan or in the Grant Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan or in the Grant Notice. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.
Grant of PSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to Participant the number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice as consideration of services rendered by Participant to the Company. PSUs that have not yet vested as of a given time pursuant to the Vesting Schedule described in the Grant Notice are referred to herein as “Unvested PSUs.” By Participant’s acceptance of this grant and the Company’s making of this grant, Participant and the Company agree that this grant of PSUs is governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as the Grant Notice and the Plan, which are attached to and made a part of this Agreement.
Vesting Schedule; PERFORMANCE GOALS.
(a)Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan [or the Severance Agreement], the PSUs shall vest on the date on which the Committee certifies the Company’s final achievement of the Performance Goals (but no later than March 15, 2025) (such date, the “Vesting Date”), subject to (i) achievement of the Performance Goals below, (ii) Participant’s Continuous Service Status through the Vesting Date. If Participant terminates Participant’s Continuous Service Status, all Unvested PSUs shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.
(b)Performance Goals. The PSUs shall become eligible to vest on the Vesting Date based on the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and Revenue (as defined below) achieved during the Performance Period in accordance with the following table:

MetricThresholdTargetMaximum
Revenue (weighted 50% of total number of PSUs)

3.568B
3.690B
Adjusted EBITDA (weighted 50% of total number of PSUs) 840M
896M
947M
Payout 75%100%150%

For purposes of this Section 2(b), “Revenue” means the Company’s total revenue for the Performance Period and “Adjusted EBITDA” means the Company’s net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, restructuring charges, non-cash charitable contributions and any other similar adjustments for non-recurring, infrequent or unusual cash or non-cash gains or expenses. The achievement of Performance Goals below threshold will result in the forfeiture of PSUs.

(c)Settlement. As soon as administratively practical after the Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested PSUs (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), subject to linear interpolation for achievement between threshold, target and maximum rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares.
Limitations on Transfer. In addition to any other limitation on Transfer (as defined below) created by Applicable Laws, this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, Participant shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Unvested PSUs.
Compliance with Insider Trading Policy. Without limitation of any other restriction on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, Participant shall comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy as may be adopted or amended from time to time by the Board (the “Insider Trading Policy”). Participant shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer” or “Transferred”) any Common Stock at any time other than during trading windows as proscribed by the Company from time to time in accordance with the Insider Trading Policy, except as otherwise permitted by the Insider Trading Policy (e.g., in connection with certain bona fide gifts).
Forfeiture Upon Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service Status. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Grant Notice, the Plan, or the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary termination of Participant’s Continuous Service Status prior to vesting pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in Section 2 above for any reason (including death or Disability), the then Unvested PSUs will thereupon be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company upon the date of such termination, and Participant will have no further rights or interests with respect to such Unvested PSUs. Further, unless otherwise [set forth in the Severance Agreement or] approved by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the PSUs will
5


terminate as of the earlier of the date of Participant’s termination of Participant’s Continuous Service Status, and will not be extended by any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any.
Responsibility for Taxes. As a condition to the grant, vesting and settlement of the PSUs, Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social security contributions (including the Company’s social security contributions to the extent such amounts may be lawfully recovered from the Participant), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items (or any equivalent or similar taxes, contributions or other relevant tax-related items in any relevant jurisdiction) or required deductions, withholdings or payments legally applicable to him or her and related to the receipt, vesting, or settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of the Shares or the participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that Participant is solely responsible for filing all relevant documentation that may be required in relation to the PSUs or any Tax-Related Items (other than filings or documentation that is the specific obligation of the Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (together, the “Company Group”) pursuant to Applicable Laws), such as, but not limited to, personal income tax returns or reporting statements in relation to the receipt, vesting or settlement of the PSUs, the holding of Shares or any bank or brokerage account, the subsequent sale of Shares, and the receipt of any dividends.
Participant further acknowledges that the Company: (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs, including, but not limited to, the receipt, vesting, or settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of the Shares and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Participant also understands that Applicable Laws may require varying Share valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or Tax-Related Items that may be required of Participant under Applicable Laws.
By entering into this Agreement, Participant agrees to indemnify each member of the Company Group against all and any liability for any taxes or Tax-Related Items which may arise in respect of or in connection with the PSUs (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares granted or provided to Participant by way of rollover, assumption or replacement of the PSUs).
Further, if Participant is 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, Participant acknowledges that the Company (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Pursuant to this Agreement and subject to Applicable Laws, Participant authorizes the Company, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding
6


Obligations by (i) withholding a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the PSUs, (ii) withholding from Participant’s wages or other compensation paid to Participant by the Company, (iii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent, (iv) requiring the delivery of a number of the Shares to the Company upon vesting or (v) such other method as determined by the Company; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if Participant is an “officer” as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Tax Withholding Obligations shall be satisfied by clause (i) above.
Depending on the method of satisfying the Tax Withholding Obligations, the Company may pay, withhold or account for such Tax Withholding Obligations by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable tax or withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will (depending on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) receive a refund of any over-withheld or over-paid amount in cash or otherwise be able to claim relief in respect of any such over-withheld or over-paid amount, and will in any event have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.
Participant agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax Withholding Obligations that the Company may be required to pay, withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s receipt, vesting or settlement of the PSUs or the participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to vest or settle the PSUs if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax Withholding Obligations.
Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Participant’s receipt, the vesting or settlement of the PSUs and/or the disposition of the Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs. Participant represents that Participant has consulted any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the receipt of the PSUs, the vesting and settlement of the PSUs and/or the disposition of the Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.
Nature of Grant. In accepting the PSUs, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of cash or securities, or benefits in lieu thereof;
(c)all decisions with respect to future PSUs or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
7


(e)the PSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation and are outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any;
(f)the PSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the PSUs; and
(h)no entity in the Company Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar or the selection by the Company or any member of the Company Group in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign exchange rate that may affect the value of the PSUs (or the calculation of income or Tax-Related Items thereunder) or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the subsequent sale of the Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs.
1.Stockholder Rights. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Participant and the Participant’s legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder of any Shares subject to the PSUs and shall not have any rights of a stockholder unless and until certificates for such Shares have been issued to the Participant (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, other written notice of ownership has been provided in accordance with applicable laws).
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s receipt, vesting, or settlement of the PSUs, or sale of the Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs. Participant is hereby advised to consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan and the receipt of PSUs and Shares before accepting this Agreement or otherwise taking any action related to the PSUs, any Shares or the Plan.
Data Privacy. PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF PARTICIPANT’S PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER AWARD MATERIALS BY AND AMONG THE ENTITIES IN THE COMPANY GROUP FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE COMPANY GROUP MAY HOLD CERTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT PARTICIPANT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PARTICIPANT’S NAME, HOME ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH, SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER OR OTHER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER,
8


SALARY, NATIONALITY, JOB TITLE, ANY SHARES OR DIRECTORSHIPS HELD IN THE COMPANY, DETAILS OF ALL AWARDS, OR ANY OTHER ENTITLEMENT TO SHARES AWARDED, CANCELED, EXERCISED, VESTED, UNVESTED OR OUTSTANDING IN PARTICIPANT’S FAVOR (“DATA”), FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PLAN. PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT DATA WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO SUCH PLAN SERVICE PROVIDER AS MAY BE SELECTED BY THE COMPANY, PRESENTLY OR IN THE FUTURE, WHICH MAY BE ASSISTING THE COMPANY WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PLAN. PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE RECIPIENTS OF THE DATA MAY BE LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES OR ELSEWHERE, AND THAT THE RECIPIENT’S COUNTRY (E.G., THE UNITED STATES) MAY HAVE DIFFERENT DATA PRIVACY LAWS AND PROTECTIONS THAN PARTICIPANT’S COUNTRY. PARTICIPANT AUTHORIZES THE COMPANY, THE PLAN SERVICE PROVIDER AS MAY BE SELECTED BY THE COMPANY, AND ANY OTHER POSSIBLE RECIPIENTS WHICH MAY ASSIST THE COMPANY, PRESENTLY OR IN THE FUTURE, WITH IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PLAN TO RECEIVE, POSSESS, USE, RETAIN AND TRANSFER THE DATA, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, FOR THE PURPOSES OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. FURTHER, PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT HE OR SHE IS PROVIDING THE CONSENTS HEREIN ON A PURELY VOLUNTARY BASIS.

THEREFORE, PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT REFUSING OR WITHDRAWING PARTICIPANT’S CONSENT MAY AFFECT PARTICIPANT’S ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN.

Participant agrees that no such recoupment or repayment pursuant to this Section 9 will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or
9


“constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement between Participant and the Company.

10.Miscellaneous.

Participant also acknowledges that the Applicable Laws of the country in which Participant is residing or working at the time of receipt, vesting and/or settlement of the PSUs or the sale of Shares issued in settlement of the PSUs (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject Participant to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Participant is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. Such requirements may be outlined in but are not limited to an Addendum.
