2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
PSU AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Performance Share Unit Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this PSU Agreement, including the additional terms and conditions for certain countries, as set forth in the appendix attached hereto (this “Agreement”), Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an Award of PSUs under its 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), with respect to the target number of shares of Stock indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan will have the same meaning as in the Plan.
If there is any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. The details of your Award of PSUs (this or your “Award”), in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows:
1.Grant of the Award. This Award represents the right to be issued, on a future date, one (1) share of Stock for each PSU that vests on the Vesting Date (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 below), as indicated in the Grant Notice. Each PSU is a notional unit that represents the right to receive one (1) share of Stock following the vesting of such PSU and satisfaction of the other requirements contained herein. As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by or on behalf of the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award. This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are employed and/or reside outside of the United States, the Company will require you to sell shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the PSUs immediately or within a specified period following your Termination, and you hereby agree that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such shares of Stock on your behalf; provided, that, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to provide for the settlement of the PSUs in the form of a cash payment (in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock that correspond to the vested PSUs) to the extent that settlement in shares of Stock (a) is prohibited under local law, (b) would require you, or the Company or any of its Affiliates to obtain the approval of any governmental or regulatory body in your country of employment and/or residency, (c) would result in adverse tax consequences for you or the Company or any of its Affiliates or (d) is administratively burdensome.
2.Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest as provided in your Grant Notice and Attachment II. You will be unable to vest in your Award following your Termination. Upon your Termination, the PSUs credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such Termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company, and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such underlying shares of Stock.
3.Number of Shares. The number of shares of Stock subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in the Plan. Any additional PSUs, shares, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 3, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Committee, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other PSUs covered by your Award. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3. Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
4.Securities Law Compliance. You may not be issued any shares of Stock under your Award unless the shares of Stock underlying the PSUs are then registered under the Securities Act or, if not registered, the Company has determined that such issuance of the shares would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The issuance of shares of Stock must also comply with all other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award and the Company’s policies, and you shall not



receive such Stock if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws, regulations or Company policies, if applicable.
5.Transfer Restrictions. Prior to the time that shares of Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of this Award or the shares issuable in respect of your Award, except that, upon receiving written permission from the Committee or its duly authorized designee, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form approved by the Company, designate a third party who, on your death, will thereafter be entitled to receive the shares issuable in respect of your Award, and in the absence of such a designation, your executor or administrator of your estate will be entitled to receive any Stock or other consideration that vested but was not issued before your death. For example, you may not use shares that may be issued in respect of your PSUs as security for a loan. The restrictions on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested PSUs.
6.Date of Issuance. The issuance of shares in respect of the PSUs is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will be construed and administered in such a manner. The Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Stock (or, pursuant to Section 1 above, the equivalent value in cash) for each PSU that vests, if any, as soon as practicable on or following the Vesting Date (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above) and in any event no later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs. The form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.
7.Dividends. If, after the Date of Grant and prior to settlement of the PSUs, dividends with respect to shares of Stock are declared or paid by the Company, you shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to each such unsettled PSU, in an amount, without interest, equal to the cumulative dividends declared or paid on one (1) share of Stock during such period, if any, to the extent such PSU vests in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Grant Notice and this Agreement. The Dividend Equivalents will be paid on the date of settlement of the underlying PSU, in cash or shares of Stock, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. If the underlying PSU is forfeited or canceled prior to the applicable date of settlement for any or no reason, any accrued and unpaid Dividend Equivalents related to such forfeited or canceled PSU shall be forfeited and canceled.
8.Restrictive Legends. The shares of Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if applicable, as determined by the Company.
9.Nature of Grant. In accepting the PSUs, you acknowledge and agree that:
a.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time (subject to any limitations set forth in the Plan);
b.the grant of the PSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs, even if PSUs or other awards have been granted in the past
c.all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
d.your participation in the Plan is voluntary;
e.the PSUs and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall not interfere with the ability of the Service Recipient to terminate your employment or service relationship (as otherwise may be permitted under local law);



f.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the PSUs and any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs, and the income from and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service you may provide as a director of any Affiliate;
g.the PSUs and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company any of its Affiliates;
h.the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the PSUs is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
i.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from your Termination (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws or later found invalid) and, in consideration of the PSUs, you agree not to institute any claim against the Company or the Service Recipient;
j.for purposes of the PSUs, your employment will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing service (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing service or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in the PSUs will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing service or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any); the Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing service for purposes of the Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence);
k.the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement not otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or provided by the Company in its discretion, 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 shares of Stock; and
l.if your local currency is different than the U.S. dollar, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the your local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the PSUs or any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs.
10.Tax-Related Items.
a.You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Service Recipient, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to you even if technically due by the Company or an Affiliate (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs or the underlying shares of Stock, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. You will not make any claim against the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees or Affiliates, related to liabilities for



Tax-Related Items arising from your Award or your other compensation. If you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
b.To the extent that Tax-Related Items are payable, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, elect to satisfy all or any portion of the Tax-Related Items relating to your Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) withholding shares of Stock from the shares of Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Stock are issued to pursuant to Section 6) approximately equal to the amount of such Tax-Related Items; provided, that, to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of the Committee; (iv) require you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, whereby you shall deliver an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell a requisite number of shares of Stock and deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company and/or its Affiliates in payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the Tax Related Items; or (v) such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee and would not result in a violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied through withholding shares of Stock from the shares of Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. You will have no further rights with respect to any shares of Stock that are retained by the Company pursuant to this provision. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock), or if not refunded, you may be able to seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not have any discretion to elect a method of payment for Tax-Related Items.
c.Unless the obligations pertaining to Tax-Related Items are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any shares of Stock.
d.In the event the Company’s or an Affiliate’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of shares of Stock or it is determined after the delivery of shares of Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s or an Affiliate’s withholding obligations was greater than the amount withheld by the Company or an Affiliate, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company and its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company or an Affiliate to withhold the proper amount.
11.Notices. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan will be given in writing (including electronically) and will be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

By accepting this Award, you consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

In granting PSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect, process, use, disclose and transfer (collectively, “Processing”) Personal Data for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

As such, by accepting the PSUs, you voluntarily acknowledge the Processing of your Personal Data as described herein.
j.Outside Service Providers. The Company and the Service Recipient may transfer Personal Data to UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliates, an independent service provider based in the United States of America (the “Plan Broker”), which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

When the Company no longer needs Personal Data related to the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps Personal Data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with applicable law.

You acknowledge that you are permitted to sell shares of Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker, if any, provided the sale of such shares of Stock takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed.
Termination. The following provision replaces Section 9.j of the Agreement:
For purposes of the PSUs, your service is considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering service to the Company or any Affiliate (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 the terms of your employment or service contract, if any). Unless otherwise extended by the Company or expressly provided in the Agreement, your right to vest in the PSUs, 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, your right to vest in the PSUs 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 your minimum statutory notice period.



In the event the date you are 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 you are no longer actively providing service for purposes of the PSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence). Any portion of the PSUs that is not vested on the Termination Date shall terminate immediately and be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, unless the applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires, in your case, you will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which your service is terminated (as determined under this provision), nor will you be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

CHINA
The following provisions govern your participation in the Plan if you are a national of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) resident in mainland China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Such provisions may also apply to non-PRC nationals, to the extent required by the Company or by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”).
Exchange Control Approval. The vesting of the PSUs is conditioned upon the Company securing all necessary approvals from the SAFE to permit operation of the Plan.
Shares of Stock Must Be Held with Designated Broker. All shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the PSUs will be deposited into a personal brokerage account established with the Company’s designated broker (or any successor broker designated by the Company), on your behalf. You understand that you



may not transfer the shares of Stock out of the brokerage account. If the Company changes its designated broker, you acknowledge and agree that the Company may transfer any shares of Stock issued under the Plan to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. You agree to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer.
Mandatory Sale of Shares of Stock Following Termination. You are required to sell all shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs no later than 90 days following your Termination (or such earlier date as may be required by the SAFE), in which case, this Appendix shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on your behalf). If any shares of Stock remain outstanding on the 90th day following your Termination (or such earlier date as may be required by SAFE), you hereby direct, instruct and authorize the Company to issue sale instructions on your behalf.
You agree to sign any additional agreements, forms and/or consents that reasonably may be requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated brokerage firm) to effectuate the sale of the shares of Stock (including, without limitation, as to the transfer of the sale proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters. You acknowledge that neither the Company nor the designated brokerage firm is under any obligation to arrange for such sale of shares of Stock at any particular price (it being understood that the sale will occur in the market) and that broker’s fees and similar expenses may be incurred in any such sale. In any event, when the shares of Stock are sold, the sale proceeds, less any tax withholding, any broker’s fees or commissions, and any similar expenses of the sale will be remitted to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
Mandatory Sale of Shares of Stock Following Termination. You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to promptly repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. You further understand that such repatriation of proceeds may need to be effected through a special bank account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan may be transferred to such account by the Company on your behalf prior to being delivered to you and that no interest shall be paid with respect to funds held in such account. The proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid to the you in U.S. dollars, you understand that a U.S. dollar bank account in China must be established and maintained so that the proceeds may be deposited into such account. If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Stock are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. You acknowledge and agree that the processes and requirements set forth herein shall continue to apply following your Termination.
Administration. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses you may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Appendix or otherwise from the Company’s operation and enforcement of the Plan, the Agreement and the Award in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable SAFE rules, regulations and requirements.

11.Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights. This provision supplements the terms of Section 9 of the Agreement:
In accepting the PSUs, you acknowledge that you consent to participation in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted the PSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company and its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, you understand that the PSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the PSUs and the shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of the PSUs shall be null and void.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the PSUs, your Termination for any reason (including the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the PSUs to the extent the PSUs have not vested as of date that you cease active employment. In particular, you understand and agree that unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, any portion of the PSUs that is unvested as of the date you cease active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute,



unilateral withdrawal by the Service Recipient and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the PSUs.
12.Securities Law Information. The PSUs and the shares of Stock described in this Agreement do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. With respect to the grant of PSUs under the Plan, no “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

UNITED KINGDOM
13.Taxes. This provision shall supplement Section 10 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 10 of the Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Service Recipient or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and its Affiliates against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately 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 paying the Company or the Service Recipient (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Service Recipient may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 10 of the Agreement.
14.Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the PSUs, whether or not as a result of a Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the PSUs. Upon the grant of the PSUs, you will be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.
