Addendum

ZIMMER BIOMET HOLDINGS, INC.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

This Addendum includes special country-specific terms that apply if you are residing and/or working in one of the countries listed below.  This Addendum is part of the Agreement.  Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.

This Addendum also includes information of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 20__ and is provided for informational purposes.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the RSUs vest or you sell Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.

Note that if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which you are residing and/or working, or transfer employment after the RSUs are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained in this Addendum may not be applicable to you, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions or notifications contained herein shall be applicable to you.  If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in the Addendum after the RSUs are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.

European Union / European Economic Area / Switzerland / United Kingdom

Data Privacy Notice.  This section replaces Section 10 of the Agreement for participants in the European Union (“EU”), European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland and/or United Kingdom (“UK”):

Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes, uses, and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about you for the exclusive legitimate purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, your name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or the Employer (“Data”). In order to facilitate your participation in the Plan, the Company will collect, process, use and transfer your Data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company collects, processes, uses and transfers your personal data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan and generally administering employee compensation and related benefits.  Your refusal to provide Data may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  As such, by participating in the Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, use, processing and transfer of your Data as described herein.

Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company transfers Data to Fidelity, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Data with that service provider, which will serve in a similar manner.  The Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.  The processing of Data will take place through electronic means.  Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementation, administration and operation of the Plan.

International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based, in relevant part, in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States.  By enrolling

Three-Year Performance-Based RSU Award (2020) 9

in the Plan, you understand that the service providers will receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  When transferring Data to these service providers, the Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Data, including reliance on standard contractual clauses.  You may request a copy of, or information about, the safeguards used to protect Data by contacting ***@***.

Data Retention. The Company will use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your 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 Data, the Company will remove it from its systems.  If the Company keeps the 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.

Data Subject Rights.  To the extent provided by law, you have the right to request (i) access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of Data, (iii) erasure of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data and/or to lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data.  You understand that the only consequence of refusing to provide Data is that Company may not be able to allow you to participate in the Plan, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  For more information on the consequences of the refusal to provide Data, you may contact ***@***.

New Zealand

Securities Law Information.

Warning

This is an offer of RSUs over Shares.  Shares give you a stake in the ownership of the Company.  You may receive a return if dividends are paid.  Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  This means you may be able to sell them on the NYSE if there are interested buyers.  You may get less than you invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors have been paid.  You may lose some or all your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme.  As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required.  You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

In compliance with applicable New Zealand securities laws, you are entitled to receive, in electronic or other form and free of cost, copies of the Company’s latest annual report, relevant financial statements and the auditor’s report on said financial statements (if any).

You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSU, except as provided for in Section 6 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSU that has not vested on your Employment Termination Date.

In particular, you understand and agree that the RSU will be forfeited in accordance with Section 6 of the Agreement without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without good 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 Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.
