Exhibit 10.2

TRIPADVISOR, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(International)

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the grant date specified on the Grant Details referenced below (the “Grant Date”), between Tripadvisor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the employee, director or consultant of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates designated on the Grant Details (as defined below) (the “Eligible Individual”), describes the terms of an award (the “Award”) of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Eligible Individual by the Company.

All capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 2023 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).

1. Award and Vesting of RSUs

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Grant Details, the Company hereby grants RSUs to the Eligible Individual. Reference is made to the “Grant Details” that can be found on the equity plan website of the current professional selected by the Company to administer the Plan (the “Plan Administrator”), currently located at www.netbenefits.fidelity.com (or any successor equity administration system selected by the Company to manage the Plan from time to time). The Grant Details, which set forth the number of RSUs granted to the Eligible Individual by the Company, the Grant Date and the vesting schedule of the RSUs (among other information), are hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be read as part and parcel of, this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Grant Details and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest and no longer subject to any restriction (such period during which restrictions apply referred to as the “RSU Restriction Period”) on the dates detailed in the Grant Details.

Settlement of RSUs

As soon as practicable after any RSUs have vested and are no longer subject to the RSU Restriction Period (but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter), such RSUs shall be settled. Subject to Section 8 (pertaining to the withholding of taxes), for each RSU settled pursuant to this Section 2, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the RSUs in cash or Shares by causing to be paid or delivered to the Eligible Individual cash or freely-transferable Shares upon settlement of the vested RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to hold the Shares issuable upon settlement of RSUs that have vested until the Company or Plan Administrator shall have received from the Eligible Individual a duly executed Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable, as well as such other documents as may be legally required.

Recoupment or “Clawback” Policy

All awards received and any shares or other amount or property that may be issued, delivered, or paid in respect of the Award, as well as any consideration that may be received in

Non-U.S. Employee – Version March 2024

respect of a sale or other disposition of any such shares or property, will be subject to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, reduction, or other similar action in accordance with the Company’s Clawback Policy (as in effect from time to time and any successor policies) or similar policy or any applicable law related to such actions. An Eligible Individual’s acceptance of an Award will constitute the Eligible Individual’s acknowledgment of and consent to the Company’s application, implementation, and enforcement of the Company’s Clawback Policy or similar policy that may apply to the Eligible Individual, whether adopted before or after the Grant Date, and any applicable law relating to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, or reduction of compensation, and the Eligible Individual’s agreement that the Company may take any actions that may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or applicable law, without further consideration or action.

Termination of Employment

(a)

In the event a Termination of Employment of the Eligible Individual occurs during the RSU Restriction Period for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any written employment agreement or written offer letter between the Company and the Eligible Individual (an “Employment Arrangement”), the Eligible Individual’s right to any RSUs that have not vested as of the date of Termination of Employment will terminate effective as of the date of the Termination of Employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law. The Eligible Individual shall not be entitled by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise to any sum or other benefit to compensate the Eligible Individual for the loss of any rights under this Agreement or the Plan.

(b)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 above or anything in the Plan or in any Employment Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Eligible Individual incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, or the Eligible Individual voluntarily incurs a Termination of Employment within two years after any event or circumstance that would have been grounds for a Termination of Employment for Cause, the Eligible Individual’s RSUs (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited and cancelled in their entirety upon such Termination of Employment without any consideration being paid therefor and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever. In such event, the Company may cause the Eligible Individual, immediately upon notice from the Company, to either (i) return the Shares issued upon settlement of RSUs that vested during the two-year period after the events or circumstances giving rise to or constituting grounds for such Termination of Employment for Cause or (ii) pay to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, that the Eligible Individual had previously realized in respect of any and all Shares issued upon settlement of RSUs that vested during the two-year period after the events or circumstances giving rise to or constituting grounds for such Termination of Employment for Cause (i.e., the value of the RSUs upon vesting), in each case including any dividend equivalents or other distributions received in respect of any such RSUs.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as provided in Section 4(b) above, the Eligible Individual and Company acknowledge and agree that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of any Employment Arrangement and the Plan, whichever term is more beneficial to the Eligible Individual between the Plan and the Employment Arrangement shall prevail. In no event shall Eligible Individual be entitled to the same type of

Non-U.S. Employee – Version March 2024

benefits under both the Plan and any Employment Arrangement for the same event or qualifying termination.

(d)

For purpose of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine whether there has been any interruption or Termination of Employment, whether and when grounds for a Termination of Employment for Cause existed or whether there occurred a Change in Control.

Non-Transferability of the RSUs

Until the RSUs are settled as provided herein or on the website of the Plan Administrator, the RSUs shall not be transferable by the Eligible Individual by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise.

Rights as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, until the RSUs have vested and been settled in Shares the Eligible Individual shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company declares and pays ordinary cash dividends on the Common Stock during the RSU Restriction Period, the Eligible Individual will be credited with additional amounts for each RSU equal to the dividend that would have been paid with respect to such RSU if it had been an actual share of Common Stock, which amount shall remain subject to restrictions (and as determined by the Committee may be reinvested in RSUs or may be held in kind as restricted property) and shall vest concurrently with the vesting of the RSUs upon which such dividend equivalent amounts were paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends and distributions other than ordinary cash dividends, if any, may result in an adjustment pursuant to Section 7 below, rather than under this Section 6.

Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock; Change in Control

(a)

In the event of (i) a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each, a “Share Change”), or (ii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spinoff, reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, payment of a dividend other than an ordinary dividend, or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board, may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to the number of RSUs and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs.

(b)

In the case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation (i) the cancellation of RSUs in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such RSUs, as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion, (ii) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs and (iii) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of the RSUs, or the replacement of the RSUs with new Awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities

Non-U.S. Employee – Version March 2024

of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary or Affiliate or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary or Affiliate following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to any RSUs that remain based upon securities of the Company).

(c)

The determination of the Committee regarding any such adjustment will be final and conclusive and need not be the same for all Eligible Individuals.

Taxes, Fees and Withholding

(a)

The Company agrees to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be imposed on the issuance of shares received by an Eligible Individual in connection with the RSUs, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

(b)

Regardless of any action taken by the Company, its Affiliate or Subsidiary with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Eligible Individual acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains the Eligible Individual’s responsibility and that the Company and/or its Affiliate or Subsidiary (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the RSUs and the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect thereto; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Eligible Individual’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

(c)

In the event that the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate is required to withhold any Tax-Related Items as a result of the Award or vesting of the RSUs, or the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents, the Eligible Individual shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate to satisfy all withholding and payment on account of obligations of the Company, Subsidiary and/or Affiliate. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned on compliance by the Eligible Individual with this Section 8. In this regard, the Eligible Individual authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiary or Affiliate to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Eligible Individual from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to the Eligible Individual by the Company and/or its Subsidiary or Affiliate. In connection herewith, the Eligible Individual (i) authorizes, empowers and directs the Company and the Plan Administrator (or such brokerage firm as is contracted to manage the Company’s employee equity award program, the “Broker”) to sell, at the market price and on the Exercise Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the number of Shares sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items, and (ii) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Broker and the Company from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising out of carrying out such actions. Finally, the Eligible Individual will pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan or the Eligible Individual’s Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares underlying the

Non-U.S. Employee – Version March 2024

RSU or pay cash in settlement of the RSUs if the Eligible Individual fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section.

(e)

In particular, the Eligible Individual understands and acknowledges that all income to which the Eligible Individual is entitled under this Agreement is pre-tax and the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates has the right to withhold and pay on behalf of the Eligible Individual any individual income tax in connection with such income in accordance with applicable law. In the event the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is not required under applicable law to serve as the withholding agent to withhold and pay on behalf of the Eligible Individual such individual income tax, the Eligible Individual shall have sole responsibility to make such payment, in which case the Eligible Individual shall provide, as requested by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from time to time, relevant tax receipts to certify full and prompt payment. The Eligible Individual agrees to indemnify the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for any liability which may arise as a result of his or her failure to pay any and all taxes associated with any income derived pursuant to the Awards.

Other Restrictions

(a) The Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is required, then in any such event, the Award shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

(b) The Eligible Individual acknowledges that the Eligible Individual is subject to the Company’s policies regarding compliance with securities laws, including but not limited to its Insider Trading Policy (as in effect from time to time and any successor policies), and, pursuant to these policies, if the Eligible Individual is on the Company’s insider list, the Eligible Individual shall be required to obtain pre-clearance from the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer prior to purchasing or selling any of the Company’s securities, including any shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs, and may be prohibited from selling such shares other than during an open trading window. The Eligible Individual further acknowledges that, in its discretion, the Company may prohibit the Eligible Individual from selling such shares even during an open trading window if the Company has concerns over the potential for insider trading.

RSU AGREEMENT

(INTERNATIONAL)

Terms and Conditions

This Appendix includes special terms and conditions applicable to Eligible Individuals residing in one of the countries listed below. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

Notifications

This Appendix also includes country-specific information of which Eligible Individual should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Eligible Individual does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Eligible Individual vests in Share Awards or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Eligible Individual’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Eligible Individual of any particular result. Accordingly, Eligible Individual is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, please note that if Eligible Individual is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which he or she is currently working, or transfers employment after grant, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to Eligible Individual.

European Union (“EU”)/ European Economic Area (“EEA”) Data Privacy

The following replaces Section 16 of the Agreement:

In order to offer participation in the Plan, it is necessary for the Company to collect and process certain information about Eligible Individual. Further detail about this is set out below.

Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. Eligible Individual may withdraw from the Plan at any time. Withdrawal from the Plan will not affect Eligible Individual’s salary as an employee or his or her employment; Eligible Individual would merely forfeit the opportunities and benefits associated with the Plan.

If Eligible Individual withdraws from the Plan, the Company will cease to use Eligible Individual’s information for the purpose of the Plan (subject to the data retention requirements set out below).

Non-U.S. Employee – Version March 2024

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects personal information about Eligible Individual for purposes of administration of the Plan, including: name, home address, telephone number and email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, nationality, job title, any equity, shares of stock or directorships held in the Company and its Affiliates, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to equity granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Eligible Individual’s favor, which the Company receives from Eligible Individual or the Employer (“Eligible Individual Data”).

The Company will process and use Eligible Individual Data for the purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of Eligible Individual’s Data is based on contractual necessity for the performance of the Plan.

In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Eligible Individual Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider(s) will open an account for Eligible Individual to receive and trade stock. Eligible Individual may be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s), which is a condition to his or her participation in the Plan.

International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider(s), including Fidelity, are based in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Eligible Individual Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the US. Eligible Individual should note that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States and which may offer different levels of protection. The legal basis for the transfer of Eligible Individual Data is based on contractual necessity for the performance of the Plan.

Data Subject Rights. Eligible Individual has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where Eligible Individual is based, his or her rights may include: (a) the right of access to the Eligible Individual’s personal data held by the Company, (b) the right of rectification of incorrect data, (c) the right to erasure of data, (d) the right to restriction of processing, and (e) the right to data portability.
