Form of Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement (Fiscal Year 2024) for executive officers under the Sysco Corporation 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Sysco Corporation (the “Company”) hereby agrees to award to you (the “Grantee”) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 in the event of the Grantee’s death, the RSUs hereby awarded (the “Award”) shall be settled in the form of shares of stock with each RSU earned being settled for one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock, USD 1.00 par value (“Stock”), but until such settlement, the Award will be denominated in RSUs. Any RSUs earned will be settled, and the corresponding shares of Stock will be issued to the Grantee, on the date set forth on Appendix A if the terms and conditions described in this Agreement are satisfied. The number of RSUs subject to this Award and the date of this Award (the “Grant Date”) are set forth in the records of the Company and have been communicated to the Grantee either: (1) directly to the Grantee by the Company; or (2) electronically by the Company through the website of a third party administrator engaged by the Company. This Award is made under the terms of the Sysco Corporation 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement.

By accepting this Award, the Grantee confirms consent to the terms of the post-employment covenants communicated to the Grantee, if any, as a condition precedent to this Award, including the associated limitations on the Grantee’s behavior following termination of employment. The Grantee further acknowledges receipt of the Plan document and the Plan Prospectus.

The Grantee must accept the Award in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, acknowledge that he or she has read this Agreement and the Plan, and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, the Plan and the actions of the Committee. The Grantee shall indicate his or her acceptance of this Agreement, in the method directed by the Company. If he or she does not do so prior to 90 days from the Grant Date, then the Company may declare the Award null and void. Also, in the unfortunate event that death occurs before this Agreement has been accepted, this Award will be voided, which means the Award will terminate automatically and cannot be transferred to the Grantee’s heirs pursuant to the Grantee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(1)    General Conditions. This Award is in the form of RSUs that vest in shares of Stock on the dates set forth in Appendix: Vesting Schedule (the “Vesting Date”), except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below in the event of the Grantee’s death. Please refer to Appendix: Vesting Schedule. If the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement are satisfied, the shares of Stock will be released to the Grantee as soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date. If these terms and conditions are not satisfied, the Award shall be forfeited. Capitalized terms in this Agreement refer to defined terms in the Plan, except as otherwise defined herein. Except as provided in Section 3 or in Appendix A, the shares of Stock shall be issued following the Vesting Date only if the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (the entity employing the Grantee being the “Employer”) from the Grant Date until the end of the vesting period. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s transfer of employment from the Company to a Subsidiary, from a Subsidiary to the Company or from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary shall not constitute a termination of employment.

(2)    Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights. As soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date, or as otherwise provided in Section 3 below, the number of indicated shares of Stock shall be issued to the Grantee, provided all conditions are satisfied. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock and any Dividend Equivalents (as defined below), the Grantee shall have no rights with respect to the shares of Stock, including, but not limited to rights to sell, assign, vote, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the shares of Stock and any Dividend Equivalents. In addition, prior to the issuance of the shares of Stock and any Dividend Equivalents, the Grantee shall not be entitled to receive dividends and shall not have any other rights with respect to the Stock and any Dividend Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee works or resides outside the United States, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the RSUs in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in shares of Stock: (a) is prohibited under local law; (b) would require the Grantee, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Grantee’s country; or (c) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the RSUs in shares of Stock, but require the Grantee to sell such shares of Stock immediately or within a specified period following the Grantee’s termination of employment (in which case, by entering into this Agreement the Grantee shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Grantee’s behalf).

(3)    Employment Events. Subject to Appendix A, if Grantee’s employment with the Company terminates or is interrupted, or if Grantee’s status changes under the circumstances described below, Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award will be affected as provided in this Section 3. If Grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for reasons other than those set forth below, the Award shall be forfeited.

1 In the case of other leaves of absence not specified above, including any leaves that extend beyond 12 months, the Grantee will be deemed to have terminated employment on the date that the leave commences (so that the Award will be forfeited as of such date), unless the Committee identifies a valid business interest in doing otherwise, in which case it may specify what provisions it deems appropriate at its sole discretion; provided that the Committee shall have no obligation to consider any such matters.

(4)    Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company sets a Record Date for the payment of a dividend on its Stock from the date of this Agreement until the Award is fully vested, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive with respect to the RSUs, dividend equivalent amounts equal to the regular cash dividend payable to holders of the Company’s Stock (to the extent regular quarterly cash dividends are paid) as if the Grantee were an actual shareholder with respect to the number of shares of Stock equal to the Grantee’s outstanding RSUs (whether vested or unvested) (the “Dividend Equivalents”). The Grantee’s right to Dividend Equivalents shall cease upon forfeiture or payment of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 8, as applicable. The aggregate amount of such Dividend Equivalents shall be held by the Company, without interest thereon, and shall be paid, if and when, and only to the extent that, the shares subject to the Award vest and are issued to the Grantee.

(5)    Responsibility for Taxes.

(a)    By accepting the Award and irrespective of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, social security, national insurance contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. The Grantee acknowledges and

understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.

(b)    Grantee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items withholding obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(i)    withholding from the Grantees’ wages or other cash compensation, including Dividend Equivalents, paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(ii)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Award, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

(iii)    retention of or withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Award having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.

The Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 5(b), the Company, the Employer or their respective agents, as applicable, intend to withhold shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Award having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items, unless the Grantee pays the applicable withholding amount in cash prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, in accordance with procedures established by the Company, the Employer or their respective agents, as applicable. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, the Company will withhold in shares of Stock unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods set forth in Section 5(b)(i) and (ii).

(d)    If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full amount of shares of Stock subject to the Award, notwithstanding that an amount of shares of Stock is retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

(e)    In addition, the Grantee shall 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 the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(f)    The Grantee 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 Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee 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.

(6)    Plan Administration. The Award described in this Agreement has been granted subject to the terms of the Plan, and the shares deliverable to the Grantee in connection with an Award will be from the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any change, interpretation, determination or modification of this Agreement by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (the “Committee”) shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and on all persons including the Company and the Grantee; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or modification of the Plan, which affects the Award made hereby, the Committee shall have determined that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of the Grantee of such Award. The Committee has the exclusive discretionary authority to make findings of fact,

conclusions, and determinations regarding the interpretation of the Agreement or relevant Plan provisions or the administration of the Award (including, but not limited to determining exchange rates for Award settlement), and will have the exclusive and final authority to determine all calculations of all Award amounts. The Committee has the exclusive authority to establish administrative procedures to implement the terms of the Award. Any such procedure will be conclusive and binding on Participant.

(7)    Post-Employment Covenants.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement or any prior agreement to the contrary, in order to be eligible to earn any portion of the Award, the Grantee must have entered into an agreement containing restrictive covenants concerning limitations of the Grantee’s behavior both during employment and following termination of employment that is satisfactory to the Company or one of its Affiliated Companies. In the event the Grantee engages in any action that violates any such restrictive covenants at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Award shall be forfeited. The Grantee further agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon demand by the Company or one of its Affiliated Companies, the Grantee will forfeit, return or repay the Benefits and Proceeds (as defined below) in the event the Grantee breaches any post-employment covenant with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefits and Proceeds” means:

(i)    to the extent the Grantee has received any shares of Stock in satisfaction of this Award and the Grantee continues to hold those shares of Stock, the shares of Stock so acquired;

(ii)    to the extent the Grantee has received any shares of Stock in satisfaction of this Award and no longer owns the shares of Stock so acquired, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on the date such payment is demanded by the Company (which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shall be equal to the closing sale price during regular trading hours of the shares of Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on such date);

(iii)    to the extent the Grantee has not received any shares of Stock in satisfaction of this Award, all of the Grantee’s remaining rights, title or interest in the Award; and

(iv)    cash in an amount equal to any Dividend Equivalents paid in connection with the RSUs.

(8)     Clawback. The Award shall be subject to the Company’s Incentive Payment Clawback Policy, and any clawback policies required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing applicable stock exchange listing standards or rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law or regulation.

(9)    Right of Set-Off. The Grantee agrees that the Company may, to the extent determined by the Company to be permitted by applicable law and consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), retain for itself funds otherwise payable to the Grantee pursuant to the Award or any award under any award program administered by the Company to offset (a) any amounts paid by the Company to a third party pursuant to any award, judgment, or settlement of a complaint, arbitration, or lawsuit of which the Grantee was the subject; or (b) any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, or repayment obligations under any award agreement. The Company may not retain such funds and set-off such obligations or liabilities, as described above, until such time as they would otherwise be payable to the Grantee in accordance with the Award terms. Only after-tax amounts will be applied to set-off the Grantee’s obligations and liabilities and the Grantee will remain liable to pay any amounts that are not thereby satisfied in full.

(10)    Modification. If any of the terms of this Agreement may, in the opinion of the Company, conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, the Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to be consistent with applicable laws or regulations. If all or any part or application of the provisions of this Agreement are held or determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between the Grantee and the Company, each and all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought, except where specifically provided to the contrary herein. Neither the Committee nor the Company will be liable to the Grantee for any additional personal tax or other adverse consequences of any modifications to the Award.

(11)    Data Privacy. The Grantee hereby acknowledges, and to the extent that consent is required, consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Affiliated Company for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Employer and the Company will be joint data controllers in relation to the Grantee’s personal data.

The Grantee understands that the Employer, he Company and any Affiliated Companies may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company and details of all Awards or any other entitlements to shares of Stock awarded, cancelled, vested, unvested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering or managing the Plan. Certain Data may also constitute “sensitive personal data” within the meaning of applicable local law. Such Data includes, but is not limited to, the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about the Grantee. The Grantee hereby provides explicit consent to the Company, the Employer and any Affiliated Companies to process any such Data to the extent it is necessary for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, to such equity 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. The Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., Canada, United Kingdom, France or other location) may have data privacy laws and protections which provide standards of protection that are different to, or lower than, the standards provided by the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country (e.g. the United States). The Grantee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the Company, the Company’s equity service plan provider 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 sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to or deletion of Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Grantee Awards or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Grantee agrees to provide an 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 Grantee for the purposes of administering the Grantee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country, either now or in the future. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Grantee fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

(j)    the RSUs and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service relationship (if any). The right of the Company or the Employer to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved;

Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Grantee places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Grantee could be prohibited from: (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis); and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Grantee understands that third parties may include fellow employees. Any restrictions 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. The Grantee acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Grantee should, therefore, consult with his or her personal legal advisor.

(21)    Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting. Depending upon the country to which laws the Grantee is subject, the Grantee may have certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements that may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or Dividend Equivalents or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Grantee’s country of residence. The Grantee’s country may require that the Grantee report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in his or her country.

The Grantee agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Grantee’s country of residence (or employment, if different).

(23)    Governing Law and Venue. This Award and this Agreement has been made in and shall be governed by, construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan. Any and all disputes relating to, concerning or arising from this Agreement, or relating to, concerning or arising from the relationship between the parties evidenced by the Award or this Agreement, shall be brought and heard exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas or Harris County, Texas, USA. Each of the parties hereby represents and agrees that such party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts; hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute, and

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which such party may now or hereafter have that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in such courts is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.

    This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Grantee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the Grantee. Moreover, if the Grantee relocates to one of the countries listed below, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the same meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement, as applicable.

This Appendix A also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other tax or legal issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Award vests, shares of Stock are issued to the Grantee and/or the Grantee sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country may apply to his or her situation. Furthermore, additional privacy laws may apply in the Grantee’s country.

Finally, if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Grantee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee in the same manner.

Data Privacy. If the Grantee resides and/or is employed in the EU/EEA/UK, Section 11 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the following:

Definitions.

“Data Protection Laws” means all applicable data protection and privacy legislation in force from time to time in the EU and UK, including the EU GDPR; the UK GDPR; any laws or regulations ratifying, implementing, adopting, supplementing or replacing the UK GDPR, including the Data Protection Act 2018; the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 2426); all other legislation and regulatory requirements in force from time to time which apply to a party relating to the use of Personal Data; and any mandatory guidance and codes of practice issued by the Information

Commissioner’s Office and applicable to a party, in each case as amended, supplemented, replaced or superseded from time to time.

“Controller,” “Data Subject,” “Personal Data,” “Processing” and “Supervisory Authority” shall have the respective meanings given to them in the EU GDPR.

“EU GDPR” means the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

“EU Non-Adequate Country” means a country which does not have an adequacy decision made in its favour by the European Commission pursuant to Data Protection Laws.

“EU SCCs” means the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Personal Data from Controllers to Controllers established in third countries where the EU GDPR applies, pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as set out in the Annex to the European Commission’s Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, or such alternative clauses as may be approved by the European Commission from time to time.

“UK Addendum” means where the UK GDPR applies, Version B1.0 of the Information Commissioner’s Office’s International Data Transfer Addendum to EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, or such alternative clauses as may be approved by the UK from time to time.

“UK GDPR” means the EU GDPR as incorporated into United Kingdom law by virtue of section 3 of the UK’s European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

“UK Non-Adequate Country” means a country which does not have an adequacy decision made in its favour by the UK government pursuant to Data Protection Laws.

(a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable Data Protection laws, the Grantee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain Personal Data about the Grantee for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Grantee’s 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 Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. In granting the Awards under the Plan, the Company will collect the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Grantee’s Personal Data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and performance of the Agreement. The Grantee’s refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Grantee voluntarily acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data as described herein. The Company shall implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the Grantee’s Personal Data.

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers Personal Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company shall ensure that this, and any subsequent, administrator contractually agree to comply with data protection obligations required under the Data Protection Laws to protect the Grantee’s Personal Data. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Grantee’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Stock. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Grantee if the Grantee’s personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s personal data to the United States is the performance of contractual obligations to the Grantee. The Company shall have in place such contractual transfer mechanism as may be required under the Data Protection Laws to govern this transfer. Specifically,

a.Where the Grantee’s Personal Data is transferred from the EU to the US, or other EU Non-Adequate Country, the Company shall comply with the EU SCCs.

b.Where the Grantee’s Personal Data is transferred from the UK to the US, or other UK Non-Adequate Country, the Company shall comply with the UK Addendum

(d)Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Grantee’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.

(e)Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under Data Protection Laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect or incomplete data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on or object to processing, (v) lodge complaints with the relevant Supervisory Authority in the Grantee’s country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of all recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise the Grantee’s rights, the Grantee should contact his or her local human resources department.

(f)Privacy Notice. Additional information regarding the Company's data protection practices are set out in the Company's Global Employee Data Privacy Notice, which is available on the Company’s intranet.

This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” (as defined in section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the payment until five days after the end of the six-month period following the Grantee’s “separation from service” (as defined under section 409A of the Code). If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death. The determination of who is a specified employee, including the number and identity of persons considered specified employees and the identification date, shall be made by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code. In no event shall the Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control Termination, if the Change in Control does not constitute a change in ownership or effective control of, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company under section 409A of the Code and if required by section 409A of the Code, payment will be made on the date on which payment would have been made had there been no Change in Control. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with section 409A of the Code or other applicable law.

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision shall supplement Section 5 of the Agreement:

‘Notwithstanding the above, for any FICA and Medicare tax withholding obligation that arises (i) upon the Grantee becoming eligible for Retirement in Good Standing (on or after the first Vesting Date) or Disability and (ii) prior to a time for which shares of Stock subject to such a continued vesting have otherwise become payable, those obligations shall be satisfied by deducting from the shares of Stock under this Award that number of shares of Stock which have a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to the amount of the FICA and Medicare tax withholding obligations due with respect to this Award, and any portion of a previous award made to Grantee under the Plan for which such tax withholding obligations arise, rounded up to the nearest whole share; provided, however, that no such withholding method shall be applied to a Grantee who, at the time of such determination, is subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder.’

Definitions. The following provision supplements Section 15(c) of the Agreement:

‘In addition, in order to be eligible for extended vesting associated with a Retirement in Good Standing under Section 3(a) of this Agreement or any other prior award of restricted stock units under the plan, the Grantee must also have been continuously employed through the Initial Retirement Eligibility Date.’

The following definition is added as Section 15(d) of the Agreement:

‘Initial Retirement Eligibility Date” means the earliest to occur of the following dates after which the Grantee first satisfies the age and/or service requirements for Retirement in Good Standing: September 30th or December 15th.’

Settlement in Cash. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement, the RSUs will be settled in the form of a cash payment, except as otherwise determined by the Company.

Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights. The following provision shall supplement Section 2 of the Agreement:

‘Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the RSUs shall be settled only in shares of Stock (and may not be settled in cash). Such shares of Stock shall be either newly issued shares of Stock or shares of Stock that have been reacquired by the Company in the open market.’

The following provision shall supplement Section 4 of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Participants in Canada shall not be awarded, and shall not be eligible to receive, any Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

Responsibility for Taxes. Notwithstanding Sections 5(b) and 5(c) of the Agreement, any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items shall not be satisfied by withholding shares of Stock that are to be issued upon settlement of the Award. Rather, any such withholding obligation shall be satisfied by one or more of the alternate means referred to in Section 5(b) of the Agreement.

Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Section 11 of the Agreement:

‘The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. The Grantee further authorizes the Company, any Subsidiary and any stock plan service provider that may be selected by the Company to assist with the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their respective advisors. The Grantee further authorizes the Company and any Subsidiary to record such information and to keep such information in the Grantee’s employee file, subject to applicable periods in accordance with applicable law.’

Grantee’s Acknowledgements. The following provision replaces Section 12(g) of the Agreement:

‘For purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Grantee is no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering services to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary to which the grantee provides services (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or other service agreement, if any). Unless otherwise extended by the Company, the Grantee’s right to vest in the Award, if any, will terminate effective as of such date (the “Termination Date”). The Termination Date will not be extended by any common law notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Grantee’s right to vest in

the Award under the Agreement, if any, will be allowed to continue for that minimum notice period but then immediately terminate effective as of the last day of the Grantee’s minimum statutory notice period.

In the event the date the Grantee is no longer providing actual service cannot be reasonably determined under the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan, the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Any portion of the Award that is not vested on the Termination Date shall terminate immediately and be null and void. Unless the applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires, in the Grantee’s case, the Grantee will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which the Grantee’s service relationship is terminated (as determined under this provision), nor will the Grantee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.’

Language Consent. The following terms and conditions apply to the Grantees resident in Quebec:

The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as all documents, notices, and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

 

Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé que cette convention («Agreement») soit rédigée en anglais, ainsi que tous les documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, éxécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à la présente.

The Grantee is permitted to sell shares of Stock acquired through the Plan subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws, as applicable. In accordance with the Canadian provincial and territorial resale restrictions, shares of Stock acquired through the Plan, if represented in certificated form, shall carry a legend describing the applicable resale restrictions. The Grantee should consult his or her own personal legal advisor in this regard.

Canadian residents are required to report any foreign specified property (e.g., shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and possibly unvested Awards) if the total cost of their foreign specific property exceeds a specified threshold at any time in the year. It is the Grantee’s responsibility to comply with these reporting obligations, and the Grantee should consult his or her own personal tax advisor in this regard.

Considering RSUs are not eligible for the stock option deduction under paragraph 110(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), written notice is hereby given that the shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs are non-qualified securities for the purposes of paragraph 110(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

  

The RSUs are intended to qualify for the favorable tax and social security regime in France under Section L. 225-197-1 and seq. or L. 22-10-59 and L. 22-10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended. Certain events may affect the status of the RSUs as French-Qualified RSUs, and the French-Qualified RSUs may be disqualified in the future. The Company does not make any undertaking or representation to maintain the qualified status of the RSUs. If the RSUs no longer qualify as French-Qualified RSUs, the favorable tax and social security treatment will not apply, and the gain at vesting will be treated as a salary income for French social security and income tax purposes, subject to the provisions of Article L. 242-1 and L. 242-14 of the French social security code.

Plan Terms. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the French Sub-Plan. To the extent that any term is defined in both the Plan and the French Sub-Plan, for purposes of this grant of French-Qualified RSUs, the definition in the French Sub-Plan shall prevail.

Employment Events. Section 3 of the Agreement shall be supplemented with the following:

‘Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Agreement, in the event the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates because of death prior to the satisfaction of the Performance Period, the RSUs will immediately vest and the performance-criteria will be deemed to have been met at Target performance levels and be transferable to the Grantee’s heirs. The Grantee’s heirs may request issuance of the underlying shares of Stock within six months after the Grantee’s death. If the Grantee’s heirs do not request the issuance of the underlying shares of Stock within six months of the Grantee’s death, the RSUs will be forfeited.’

Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights. Section 2 of the Agreement shall be supplemented with the following:

‘The Grantee may not sell or transfer the shares of Stock delivered upon settlement of the RSUs prior to the second anniversary of the Grant Date, or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum mandatory holding period applicable to French-Qualified RSUs under Section L. 225-197-1 and seq. or L. 22-10-59 and L. 22-10-60 of the French Commercial code, the relevant sections of the French Tax Code or the French Social Security Code, as amended, to benefit from the favorable tax and social security regime. Notwithstanding the above, the Grantee’s heirs, in the case of the Grantee’s death, or the Grantee, in the case of Disability (as defined under the French Sub-Plan), are not subject to this restriction on the sale of shares of Stock. To ensure compliance with these restrictions, the shares of Stock the Grantee receives pursuant to the RSUs will be held with a broker designated by the Company (or according to any procedure implemented by the Company to ensure compliance with the restrictions) until such shares of Stock are sold. These restrictions will apply even after the Grantee is no longer employed by the Employer, the Company or a Subsidiary.

If the Grantee qualifies as a managing director under French law (“mandataires sociaux”) (i.e., Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions), the Grantee is required to hold 20% of the shares of Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs in a nominative account under the procedure implemented by the Company and may not to sell or transfer the shares of Stock until he or she ceases to serve as a managing director, as long as this restriction is a requirement under French law and unless French law or regulations provide for a lower percentage (in which case these requirements apply to the lower percentage of shares of Stock held).

Further, as long as the RSUs and the shares of Stock maintain their French-Qualified status, the shares of Stock cannot be sold during certain “Closed Periods” as provided for by Section L. 225-197-1 and seq. or L. 22-10-59 and L. 22-10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and as interpreted by the French administrative guidelines, so long as these Closed Periods are applicable to shares of Stock issued pursuant to French-Qualified RSUs, and to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding the above, the Grantee’s heirs, in the case of the Grantee’s death, or the Grantee, in the case of Disability (as defined under the French Sub-Plan), are not subject to the restriction on the sale of shares of Stock during Closed Periods.’

 

By accepting the French Award, the Grantee confirms having read and understood the documents relating to this grant (the Plan and the Agreement) which were provided in English language. The Grantee accepts the terms of those documents accordingly. The Grantee confirms that the Grantee has a good knowledge of the English language.

 

 

The Grantee may hold shares of Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Award, any proceeds resulting from the sale of shares of Stock or any dividends paid on such shares of Stock outside of France, provided the Grantee declares all foreign bank and brokerage accounts (including any accounts that were opened or closed during the tax year) with his or her annual income tax return. Failure to complete this reporting may trigger penalties for the resident. 

Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights. The following provision shall supplement Section 2 of the Agreement:

‘Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the RSUs shall be settled only in shares of Stock (and may not be settled in cash).’

If, for any reason, shares of Stock are issued to the Grantee within six (6) months of the Grant Date, the Grantee agrees that he or she will not sell or otherwise dispose of any such shares of Stock prior to the six (6)-month anniversary of the Grant Date.

The RSUs and shares of Stock subject to the RSUs do not form part of the Grantee’s wages for the purposes of calculating any statutory or contractual payments under Hong Kong law.

 

(ii)    in Ireland, (A) in respect of a Grantee that is an Employee, that such Grantee is on medically certified sick leave in accordance with any relevant policy in place within the Company or a Subsidiary and is deemed by the Company or a Subsidiary to have a “disability” for the purposes of the Employment Equality Acts 1998–2015; and (B) in respect of a Grantee that is not an Employee, means that such Grantee is unable to perform the material and substantial duties that such Grantee was retained by the Company or a Subsidiary to perform and such inability arises due to sickness or injury. 

Settlement in Cash. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement, the RSUs will be settled in the form of a cash payment, except as otherwise determined by the Company.

Grantee Acknowledgements. The following provision shall substitute Section 12(e) of the Agreement:

“this Award and the underlying shares of Stock, and any income derived therefrom, are not paid in lieu of, and are not intended to replace, any pension rights or compensation and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary or earnings or remuneration for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, cash value of food, meal allowance, cost of living allowance, holiday pay, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;”

The following provision shall substitute Section 12(j) of the Agreement:

“the RSUs and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service relationship (if any);”

Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting. The following provision shall supplement Section 21 of the Agreement:

“As per the statutory requirements under the Foreign Exchange Act, No. 12 of 2017, of Sri Lanka, any dividend income and any proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement shall be brought into Sri Lanka by the Grantee through an Outward Investment Account or Personal Foreign Currency Account opened and maintained with a licensed commercial bank in Sri Lanka, within three months from the date of receipt.”

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision shall supplement Section 5 of the Agreement:

‘Without limiting the Company’s and the Employer’s authority to satisfy their withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items as set for in Section 5 of the Agreement, in accepting the Award, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold shares of Stock or to sell shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Grantee upon settlement of the RSUs to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or the Employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.’

Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights. The following provision shall supplement Section 2 of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the PSUs shall be settled only in shares of Stock (and may not be settled in cash). Such shares of Stock shall be either newly issued shares of Stock or shares of Stock that have been reacquired by the Company in the open market.

Responsibility for Taxes.

 

Notwithstanding Sections 5(b) and 5(c) of the Agreement, any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items shall not be satisfied by withholding shares of Stock that are to be issued upon settlement of the Award. Rather, any such withholding obligation shall be satisfied by one or more of the alternate means referred to in Section 4(b) of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contrary in the Plan and Section 5 of the Agreement, in the case of national insurance contributions (“NICs”), the Employer may only withhold from the Grantee’s wages or cash compensation such amount as is permitted by the Social Security Contributions Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/1004).

The following provisions shall supplement Section 5 of the Agreement:

‘The Grantee hereby irrevocably agrees that the Company or the Employer (if different) may recover from the Grantee the whole or any part of any secondary class 1 employer NICs arising as a result of a taxable event attributable to the Award or the Grantee’s participation in the Plan (“Employer NICs”) to the extent permitted by applicable law and, at the request of the Company at any time before the vesting of the Award, the Grantee must elect, to the extent permitted by law, and using a form approved by HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), that the whole or any part of the liability for such Employer NICs shall be transferred to the Grantee.

The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Employer or by HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Employer on an after tax basis against any Tax-Related Items that they are required (or reasonably consider they are required) to pay, or withhold or have paid or will pay, to HMRC on the Grantee’s behalf (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). For purposes of this Agreement, Tax-Related Items include (without limitation) employment income tax, employee NICs and Employer NICs to the extent recoverable by applicable law.

The amount of any income tax not collected within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute an additional benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and NICs may be payable. The Grantee understands that the Grantee 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 and/or the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit pursuant to the  indemnity above, which may be recovered from the Grantee by the Company or the Employer by any of the means referred to in Section 5 of the Agreement.

The Grantee irrevocably agrees to enter into a joint election under section 431(1) of ITEPA 2003 with its employer or former employer in respect of the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Award.’

Definitions. The following provision shall be inserted as Section 15(d) of the Agreement:

“Grantee” means any Employee that is resident for tax purposes, or works, in the UK as at the Grant Date.

This Agreement is not an approved prospectus for the purposes of section 85(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) and no offer of transferable securities to the public (for the purposes of section 102B of FSMA) is being made in connection with the Plan. The Plan and the Award are exclusively available in the UK to bona fide employees and former employees of the Company and any UK Subsidiary of the Company.
