Exhibit 10.2
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the employee (the “Optionee”) identified in the award statement provided to the Optionee (the “Award Statement”) under the Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) non-qualified stock options (the “Option”). The Option entitles the Optionee to exercise options for up to the aggregate number of shares set forth in the Award Statement (the “Option Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, at the price per share set forth in the Award Statement (the “Xxxxx Xxxxx”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Non-Qualified Global Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the same meaning as defined under the Plan. All references to action of or approval by the Committee shall be deemed to include action of or approval by any other person(s) to whom the Committee has delegated authority to act.
The Option is subject to the following terms and conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement):
The Optionee must either execute and deliver an acceptance of the terms set forth in this Agreement or electronically accept the terms set forth in this Agreement, in the manner and within a period specified by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel the Option if the Optionee fails to accept this Agreement and related documents within the specified period or using the procedures for acceptance established by the Committee.
1.Vesting. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Option may not be exercised before the vesting requirements (“Vesting Requirements”) set forth in the schedule to the Award Statement (the “Schedule”) have been satisfied.
2.Vesting Upon Termination of Employment. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee or except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Optionee terminates employment with the Mondelēz Group before satisfying the Vesting Requirements, this Option will not be exercisable. If the Optionee terminates employment with the Mondelez Group before satisfying the Vesting Requirements due to:
(a) the Optionee’s death or Disability (as defined below in paragraph 15), then this Option will become immediately exercisable for 100% of the Option Shares identified in the Award Statement; or
(b) the Optionee’s Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 15) occurring at least ninety (90) days after the date of grant (“Grant Date”) of the Option, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and provided the Option is not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Optionee’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group and the Optionee timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then this Option will continue to vest and become exercisable as identified on the Schedule as if the Optionee’s employment had not terminated.
3.Exercisability Upon Termination of Employment from the Mondelēz Group. During the period commencing on the first date that the Vesting Requirements are satisfied (or, such earlier date determined in accordance with paragraph 2) until the close of the market on the expiration date set forth in the
Schedule (“Expiration Date”) (or if the market is closed on such date, the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the Expiration Date), this Option may be exercised in whole or in part with respect to such Option Shares, subject to the following provisions:
(a) In the event that the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, death or Disability, such Option may be exercised on or prior to the Expiration Date;
(b) If employment is terminated by the Optionee (other than by Retirement, death or Disability), such Option may be exercised until the close of the market 30 days from the effective date of termination (the “30-Day Period”) (or if the market is closed on such date, the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the expiration of the 30-Day Period);
(c) If, other than by death, Disability or Retirement, the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Mondelēz Group without Cause for any reason (even if such termination constitutes unfair dismissal under the employment laws of the country where the Optionee resides or if the Optionee’s termination is later determined to be invalid and/or his or her employment is reinstated) or in the event of any other termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Mondelēz Group, such Option may be exercised until the close of the market 12 months from the effective date of termination (the “12-Month Period”) (or if the market is closed on such date, the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the expiration of the 12-Month Period); and
(d) If the Optionee’s employment is involuntarily suspended or terminated by the Mondelēz Group for Cause, the Option shall be forfeited.
No provision of this paragraph 3 shall permit the exercise of any Option after the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated when he or she is no longer actively employed by the Mondelēz Group (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 the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any). The Optionee shall not be considered actively employed during any period for which he or she is receiving, or is eligible to receive, salary continuation, notice period or garden leave payments, or other comparable benefits or through other such arrangements that may be entered into that give rise to separation or notice pay. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, leaves of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions and unless otherwise determined by the Company, this Option may only be exercised on a day that the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) is open. Accordingly, if the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 30-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) is a day the Exchange is closed, the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 30-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) shall be the immediately preceding day on which the Exchange is open.
4.Exercise of Option and Withholding Taxes. This Option may be exercised only in accordance with the procedures and limitations (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) set forth in this paragraph 4, the Company’s Equity Grants Guide, as amended from time to time, or such other similar-type communication provided by the Company. Payment of the aggregate Xxxxx Xxxxx shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
(a)to the extent permitted by applicable law, by cash, check or cash equivalent;
2
(b)consideration received by the Company from a cashless exercise through a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company;
(c)if the Optionee is a U.S. taxpayer or if permitted by the Committee, by surrender of shares of Common Stock previously owned by the Optionee which meet the conditions established by the Committee; or
(d)any other methods approved by the Committee and permitted by applicable laws.
The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee or deemed by the Company or the Employer, in their discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Optionee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Option Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for (including report) Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option if Optionee fails to comply with his or her Tax-Related Items obligations or the Company has not received payment in a form acceptable to the Company for all applicable Tax-Related Items, as well as amounts due to the Company as “hypothetical taxes”, if applicable, pursuant to the then-current international assignment and tax and/or social insurance equalization policies and procedures of the Mondelēz Group, or arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof have been made.
In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and without any notice or further authorization by the Optionee, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Optionee (or otherwise due from the Optionee as set forth above in this paragraph 4) and any hypothetical taxes from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Option Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may instruct the broker it has selected for this purpose (on the Optionee’s behalf and at the Optionee’s direction pursuant to this authorization without further consent) to sell the Option Shares that the Optionee acquires to meet the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation and any hypothetical taxes. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Tax-Related Items or hypothetical taxes may be paid by withholding from Option Shares subject to the exercised Option, provided, however, that withholding in Option Shares shall be subject to approval by the Committee to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company at the time of any relevant tax withholding event. Finally, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items and hypothetical taxes that the Company or the Employer
3
may be required to withhold as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or the Optionee’s exercise of the Option that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including minimum rates or maximum rates applicable in the Optionee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent shares of Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Option Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items and/or hypothetical taxes due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
5.Cash-Out of Option. The Committee may elect to cash out all or a portion of the Option to be exercised pursuant to any method of exercise by paying the Optionee an amount in cash or Common Stock, or both, equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the exercise date less the Xxxxx Xxxxx for such shares.
6.Restrictions and Covenants.
(a)In addition to such other conditions as may be established by the Company or the Committee, in consideration for making a Grant under the terms of the Plan, the Optionee agrees and covenants as follows for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment from the Mondelēz Group:
1.to protect the Mondelēz Group’s legitimate business interests in its confidential information, trade secrets and goodwill, and to enable the Mondelēz Group’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Mondelēz Group, which is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Mondelēz Group, the Optionee, without the express written permission of the Company’s chief human resources officer, will not engage in any conduct in which the Optionee contributes his/her knowledge and skills, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an executive, employer, employee, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern or any other similar capacity to a competitor or to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Mondelēz Group, including those engaged in the business of production, sale or marketing of snack foods (including, but not limited to gum, chocolate, confectionary products, biscuits or any other product or service the Optionee has reason to know has been under development by the Mondelēz Group during the Optionee’s employment with the Mondelēz Group). The Optionee will not engage in any activity that may require or inevitably require the Optionee’s use or disclosure of the Mondelēz Group’s confidential information, proprietary information and/or trade secrets;
2.to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its employees and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Optionee, without the express written permission of the Company’s chief human resources officer, will not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Mondelēz Group; and
4
3.to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its development of goodwill and customers and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Optionee will not directly or indirectly solicit (including, but not limited to, e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, SMS text messaging and social media) or attempt to directly or indirectly solicit, contact or meet with the current or prospective customers of the Mondelēz Group for the purpose of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Mondelēz Group.
The provisions contained herein in paragraph 6 are not in lieu of, but are in addition to the continuing obligation of the Optionee (which the Optionee acknowledges by accepting any Grant under the Plan) to not use or disclose the Mondelēz Group’s trade secrets or Confidential Information known to the Optionee until any particular trade secret or Confidential Information becomes generally known (through no fault of the Optionee), whereupon the restriction on use and disclosure shall cease as to that item. For purposes of this agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, certain sales, marketing, strategy, financial, product, personnel, manufacturing, technical and other proprietary information and material which are the property of the Mondelēz Group. The Optionee understands that this list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.
(b)A main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of long-term interests between optionees and the Mondelēz Group by providing an ownership interest in the Company, and to prevent former employees whose interests become adverse to the Company from maintaining that ownership interest. By acceptance of any Grant (including the Option) under the Plan, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that if the Optionee breaches any of the covenants set forth in paragraph 6(a):
1.all unvested Grants (including any unvested portion of the Option) shall be immediately forfeited;
2.the Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, vested, unpaid or deferred Grants (including the vested but unexercised portion of the Option) at any time if the Optionee is not in compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement including, but not limited to, paragraph 6(a);
3.the Optionee shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds of any exercise or Plan benefit that occurs at any time after the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date twelve (12) months immediately preceding any such violation; or (ii) the date six (6) months prior to the Optionee’s termination of employment with the Mondelēz Group. The Optionee shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds in such a manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Mondelēz Group, and the Mondelēz Group shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such net proceeds any amount owed to the Optionee by the Mondelēz Group, in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, or other applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, net proceeds shall mean the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock and the Xxxxx Xxxxx less any Tax-Related Items; and
5
4.the Mondelēz Group shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security as the Optionee acknowledges that such breach would cause the Mondelēz Group to suffer irreparable harm. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief.
(c)If any provision contained in this paragraph 6 shall for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after the Optionee’s acceptance of a Grant under the Plan be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration or territory, the Optionee agrees to join the Mondelēz Group in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no section of this Agreement is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Optionee's non-waivable right, without prior notice to the Company, to provide information to, participate in investigations by or testify in proceedings before any federal, state or local government subdivision or agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General, regarding the Mondelēz Group's past or future conduct, or to engage in any activities protected under applicable whistleblower statutes, or to receive and fully retain a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency. The Optionee does not need prior authorization from the Mondelēz Group to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Mondelēz Group that the Optionee has made such reports or disclosures.
7.Clawback Policy/Forfeiture. The Optionee understands and agrees that in the Committee's sole discretion, the Company may cancel all or part of the Option or require repayment by the Optionee to the Company of all or part of any cash payment or shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise pursuant to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company, including a violation of paragraph 6 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the Optionee may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act, rules promulgated by the Commission or any other applicable law, including the requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time.
8.Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise required by law, this Option is not transferable or assignable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution applicable to the Optionee and is exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
9. Adjustments. In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other similar transaction or event affecting the Common Stock after the Grant Date, the Board or the Committee shall make adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Grant (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, terms and provisions relating to the
6
Xxxxx Xxxxx and the number and kind of shares subject to this Option) as it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the substitution of equity interests in other entities involved in such transactions, to provide for cash payments in lieu of the Option, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such transaction or event will or will not be treated as a continued employment with the Mondelēz Group, in each case, subject to any Board or Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments or continued employment treatment.
10.Successors and Assigns. Whenever the word “Optionee” is used herein under circumstances such that the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom this Option may be transferred pursuant to this Agreement, it shall be deemed to include such person or persons. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company and any person or persons who shall acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, the Award Statement or the Plan.
11.Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except as provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement or by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Optionee. Nothing in the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to the rights and duties of the parties. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement, the Optionee is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Henrico County, Virginia, or the federal courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia.
12.Grant Confers No Rights to Continued Employment - Nature of the Grant. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) shall give the Optionee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Mondelēz Group, affect the right of the Employer to terminate the Optionee’s employment, or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of the Optionee. Further, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees 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 at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future option or other Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
7
(d)the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payment, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted;
(h)if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(i)if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Xxxxx Xxxxx;
(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Option and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Optionee may provide as a director of any entity of the Mondelēz Group;
(k)the Optionee understands and agrees that Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan and that the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;
(l)the Option is designated as not constituting an Incentive Stock Option; this Agreement shall be interpreted and treated consistently with such designation;
(m)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option 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 Company's Common Stock;
(n)the Option and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not part of Optionee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose;
(o)neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option or of any proceeds resulting from the Optionee’s sale of such shares; and
(p)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship by the
8
Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any).
13.Data Privacy. The Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials (“Data”) by and among the Mondelēz Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
The Optionee understands that the Mondelēz Group may hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including, but not limited to, the Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security, passport or insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock or other equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), or such other stock 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 Optionee understands that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, KPMG LLP, or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company in the future. The Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. If the Optionee resides outside the United States, the Optionee understands that the Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Company, UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 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 the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. If the Optionee resides outside the United States, the Optionee understands that the Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Optionee’s local human resources representative. Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Optionee an option or other equity awards or administer or maintain such grants. The Optionee also understands that the Company has no obligation to substitute other forms of grants or compensation in lieu of the option as a consequence of the Optionee’s refusal or withdrawal of his or her consent. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
9
Further, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Optionee agrees to provide an executed data privacy form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Optionee for the purpose of administering the Optionee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country, either now or in the future. The Optionee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Optionee’s fails to provide any such consent or agreement as requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
14.Interpretation. The terms and provisions of the Plan (a copy of which will be made available online or furnished to the Optionee upon written request to the Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, U.S.A.) are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent any provision in the Award Statement or this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions that may arise in connection with the Grant or this Agreement, including whether an Optionee is no longer actively employed, and any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.
15.Miscellaneous Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under the procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan and the term “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the termination of employment on or after either (i) the date the Optionee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group or (ii) the date the Optionee is age 65 or older with at least five (5) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Optionee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment (as set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3) that applies to the Option being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of termination and the Option will be treated as it would under the rules that apply if the Optionee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability.
16.Language. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or, alternatively, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she will seek appropriate assistance, to understand the terms and conditions in the Agreement. Furthermore, if this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan is translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
17.Compliance With Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Option Shares with the Commission or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or
10
clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the Optionee under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. If the Optionee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Optionee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Optionee transfers to another country after receiving the Option, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Optionee. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Non-Qualified Global Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”).
This Appendix A also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to 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 2021. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Optionee should not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionee’s situation.
Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
If the Optionee is based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the Optionee should note that Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Optionee's Personal Data (as defined below) in connection with the Agreement and the Plan.
14
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Optionee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses the following types of personal data about the Optionee: name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in any entity in the Mondelēz Group, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Employer (“Personal Data”) for the exclusive legitimate purpose of granting Options and implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing. The legal basis for the processing of the Personal Data by the Company is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and for the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards. The Optionee understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that the Optionee's refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Optionee's ability to participate in the Plan.
International Data Transfers. The Company is located in the United States which means that it will be necessary for Personal Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. The Optionee understands and acknowledges that the United States is not subject to an unlimited adequacy finding by the European Commission and that the Optionee’s Personal Data may not have an equivalent level of protection as compared to the Optionee’s country of residence. To provide appropriate safeguards for the protection of the Optionee’s Personal Data, the Personal Data is transferred to the Company based on data transfer and processing agreements implementing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Further, the Optionee understands that the Company transfers his or her Personal Data, or parts thereof to third parties based on agreements implementing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. These third parties include UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. UBS has opened or will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Optionee understands that Personal Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, KPMG LLP or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider or other service providers and share the Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving the Company in a similar manner. The Optionee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or KPMG LLP with such agreement being a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
The Optionee may request a copy of the safeguards used to protect his or her Personal Data or the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data by contacting the Company at XxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxXXX@xxxx.xxx.
Data Retention. The Company will use the Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
15
Data Subject Rights. To the extent provided by law, the Optionee has the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Optionee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Personal Data in certain situations where the Optionee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) request portability of Personal Data that the Optionee has actively or passively provided to the Company, where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or a contractual agreement with the Optionee and is carried out by automated means, or (vii) lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. To receive additional information regarding the Optionee’s rights, raise any other questions regarding the practices described in the Agreement or to exercise his or her rights, the Optionee should contact the Company at XxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxXXX@xxxx.xxx.

NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The Optionee is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Select Market).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Optionee is required to report any specified foreign property (including shares of Common Stock) annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Optionee’s specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.

It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.

If the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Optionee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group is under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Optionee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the Option is exercised or dividends are paid and the time that (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group will not be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to the Optionee.

If the Optionee exercises the Option by way of a cashless method of exercise, filing the appropriate foreign exchange form will not be required because no funds will be remitted out of Colombia. However, any sales proceeds related to shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to cashless exercise must still be transferred through the Colombian foreign exchange market.
The Optionee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Colombia and the Optionee should consult his or her legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Optionee must file an annual informative return with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets (e.g. shares of Common Stock) held abroad.

NEW ZEALAND
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. WARNING: The Optionee is being offered an Option which allows the Optionee to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement. The shares of Common Stock, if purchased, give the Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company. The Optionee may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Optionee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares have been paid. The Optionee may lose some or all of his or her 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 purchase scheme. As a result, the Optionee may not be given all the information usually required. The Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
The Optionee understands that he or she should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before exercising any Options under the Plan.
The shares of Common Stock are quoted and approved for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States of America. This means that, if the Optionee purchases shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Optionee may be able to sell his or her investment on the Nasdaq if there are interested buyers. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may get less than his or her investment. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock, the Optionee should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at xxx.xxx.xxx, as well as on the Company’s website at xxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx.xxx.

Absent any requirement under local law, the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and therefore, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.
Data Privacy. The following provision supplements paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
The Optionee understands and agrees that he or she must complete and return a Consent to Processing of Personal Data (the “Consent”) form to the Company. Further, the Optionee understands and agrees that if the Optionee does not complete and return a Consent form to the Company, the Company will not be able to grant Options to the Optionee or other Grants or administer or maintain such Grants.

NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cash purchase exercise, the funds must be remitted from a foreign currency account opened in his or her name at an authorized bank in Russia. This requirement does not apply if the Optionee uses a cashless exercise of the Option, such that some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale remitted to the Company to cover the aggregate Xxxxx Xxxxx and any Tax-Related Items because in this case there is no remittance of funds out of Russia.

Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company).

Tax Clearance Certificate for Cash Exercises. If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cash purchase exercise, the Optionee is required to obtain and provide to the Employer, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, a Tax Clearance Certificate (with respect to Foreign Investments) bearing the official stamp and signature of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”).

Exchange Control Information. Under current South African exchange control policy, if the Optionee is a South African resident, he or she may invest a maximum of ZAR11,000,000 per annum in offshore investments, including in shares of Common Stock. The first ZAR1,000,000 annual discretionary allowance requires no prior authorization. The next ZAR10,000,000 requires tax clearance. This limit does not apply to nonresident employees. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to ensure that he or she does not exceed this limit and obtains the necessary tax clearance for remittances exceeding ZAR1,000,000. This limit is a cumulative allowance; therefore, the Optionee’s ability to remit funds for the exercise of an Option will be reduced if the Optionee’s foreign investment limit is utilized to make a transfer of funds offshore that is unrelated to the Option. If the ZAR11,000,000 limit will be exceeded as a result of an Option exercise, the Optionee may still exercise the Option and participate in the Plan, however the Optionee will be required to immediately sell the shares of Common Stock underlying the exercised Option and repatriate the proceeds to South Africa. If the ZAR11,000,000 limit is not exceeded, the Optionee will not be required to immediately repatriate the sale proceeds to South Africa.
SOUTH KOREA
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. If the Optionee remits funds out of South Korea to pay the Xxxxx Xxxxx for Options, the remittance of funds must be confirmed by a foreign exchange bank in South Korea. This confirmation is not necessary if the Optionee pays the Xxxxx Xxxxx through an arrangement with a broker approved by the Company whereby payment of the Xxxxx Xxxxx is accomplished with the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, because in this case there is no remittance of funds out of South Korea.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. South Korean residents must declare all foreign financial accounts (e.g., non-South Korean bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc.) to the South Korean tax authority and file a report with respect to such accounts if the value of such accounts exceeds KRW

active employment under a pension plan of the Mondelēz Group, an employment contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group, or a local labor contract, on or after the date specified as normal retirement age in the pension plan or employment contract, if any, under which Optionee is at that time accruing pension benefits for his or her current service (or, in the absence of a specified normal retirement age, the age at which pension benefits under such plan or contract become payable without reduction for early commencement and without any requirement of a particular period of prior service).
Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements paragraph 4 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to paragraph 4 of the Agreement, the Optionee hereby agrees that he or she 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 the Employer, as applicable, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Optionee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer, as applicable, against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Optionee’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Optionee understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by the Optionee, in case the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Optionee understands that he or she 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 to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Optionee by any of the means referred to in paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
In addition, the Optionee agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may calculate the Tax-Related Items to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right the Optionee may have to recover any overpayment from the relevant tax authorities.

VENEZUELA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Investment Representation. As a condition of the grant of the Option, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that any shares of Common Stock the Optionee may acquire upon exercise of the Option are acquired as and intended to be an investment rather than for the resale of the shares of Common Stock and conversion of such shares into foreign currency.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control restrictions may limit the ability to exercise the Option or remit funds into Venezuela following the receipt of the cash payment upon the cashless exercise of the Option or cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Company reserves the right to further restrict the exercise of the Option or to amend or cancel the Option at any time in order to comply with the applicable exchange control laws in Venezuela. The Optionee is responsible for complying with exchange control laws in Venezuela and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Optionee’s failure to comply with applicable laws. Because exchange control laws and regulations change frequently and without notice, the Optionee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor before accepting the Option to ensure compliance with current regulations.
