14.7.1 an amount equal to (i) one (1.0) time your Base Salary, less (ii) the gross amount of any Notice Pay paid or payable to you pursuant to clauses 14.1 to 14.5, with such amount being payable in a lump sum within 30 days of your Termination Date; and

14.7.2 a pro-rata portion of any Annual Bonus determined by the Board payable to you for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, with the amount of such Annual Bonus based on the Target Bonus for such fiscal year (determined by multiplying the amount of such Annual Bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the fiscal year of termination that you were employed by the Employer, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-six (366)), payable in accordance with Section 5.3 and subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the Annual Bonus.

WHEREAS, Diversey Limited (“Diversey” or the “Employer”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Employee”) entered into a Service Agreement dated 14 July 2020 (“Service Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Employer has offered to pay Employee a severance payment if the Service Agreement terminates in the future under certain circumstances, and Employee has accepted the terms and conditions of the offered future severance payment.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties memorialize their agreement to amend Section 14.7 (including 14.7.1 & 14.7.2) as follows:

1. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause (not due to his death or disability) or by Employee for Good Reason, then subject to Employee (a) executing a signed Settlement Agreement (which will include clauses regarding Employee consenting to the termination, performing reasonable transition services, ongoing compliance with the restrictive covenants and any other previously executed restricted covenants between the parties – and a customary general release of claims against Diversey and its affiliates); and (b) not withdrawing his consent to the termination (within 14 days) or dissolving the termination agreement, the Employer will pay Employee a severance payment in an amount equal to the aggregate of Employee’s then current gross annual base salary and target annual incentive (“Severance Pay”).

2. The Severance Pay will be paid either as a lump sum or in ratable installments over the 12-month period following the employment termination date, the choice of which shall be in the Employer’s sole discretion, the payment schedule will be set out as part of the settlement agreement and will be subject to all taxable withholdings required by law.

3. The Severance Payment is inclusive of the employee statutory redundancy pay, any additional payments that Employee might be eligible for under UK law and any other benefits during the notice period if paid in lieu of notice under Diversey’s policies or practices.

The effective date of this Amendment is 11 January, 2021 and all other terms of the Service Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This First Amendment supersedes in all respects the prior Amendment executed by the parties on January 12, 2021.
