Boston Scientific Corporation Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan Global Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement

Exhibit 10.2

Boston Scientific Corporation Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Global Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement

This Global Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), is between you and Boston Scientific Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) in connection with the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award granted to you by the Committee under the Boston Scientific Corporation Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions relating to your Stock Option pursuant to the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Plan. The applicable terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

1. Grant of Stock Option. The Committee hereby grants you a Stock Option to purchase that number of shares of Stock set forth in your Equity Award and Acceptance Summary (the “Option Shares”) at the price set forth herein (the “Xxxxx Xxxxx”). The Xxxxx Xxxxx is equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Stock on the Grant Date.

2. Term and Vesting of Stock Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4 below, your Stock Option shall have a term of ten (10) years from date of grant until the “Expiration Date” and shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. If the Expiration Date falls on a date on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading, the Expiration Date shall be the trading day immediately prior to the Expiration Date.

3. Exercise of Stock Option. While this Stock Option remains exercisable, you may exercise any vested portion of the Option Shares by delivering to the Company or its designee, in the form and at the location specified by the Company, notice stating your intent to exercise a specified number of Option Shares and payment of the full Xxxxx Xxxxx for the specified number of Option Shares. Payment in full for the Option Shares being exercised may be paid in such manner as the Committee may specify from time to time, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to the following: (a) in cash, (b) by certified check or bank draft payable in U.S. dollars (US$) to the order of the Company, (c) in whole or in part in shares of Stock owned by you, valued at Fair Market Value, or (d) if available to you, via cashless exercise, by which you deliver to your securities broker instructions to sell a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the Xxxxx Xxxxx for the Option Shares, any applicable tax obligations and the brokerage fees and expenses associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you reside in a country where the local laws and/or regulations preclude the remittance of currency out of the country for purposes of paying the Xxxxx Xxxxx for the Option Shares being exercised, require the Company, its Affiliates and/or you to secure any legal or regulatory approvals or complete any legal or regulatory filings, or undertake any additional steps for remitting currency out of the country, the Company may restrict the method of exercise to a form of cashless exercise (either a cashless “sell all” exercise and/or a cashless “sell to cover” exercise) as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

The exercise date applicable to your exercise of the specified number of Option Shares pursuant to this Section 3 will be deemed to be the date on which the Company receives your irrevocable commitment to exercise the Option Shares in writing, subject to your payment in full of the Option Shares to be exercised within 10 (ten) days of the notice of exercise of the Option Shares to be exercised. The notice and payment in full of the Option Shares being exercised, must be received by the Company or its designee on or prior to the last day of the Stock Option term, as set forth in Section 2 above, except as provided in Section 4 below.

–Rev 12.2022

Upon the Company’s determination that there has been a valid exercise of the Option Shares, the Company shall issue certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or cause the Company’s transfer agent to make the necessary book entries for the shares of Stock subject to the exercised Option Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to you, your personal representative or your successor(s)-in-interest for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates or in making book entries, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in making book entries, or in the certificates themselves.

4. Termination of Employment.

a. In the event that your employment terminates due to death or Disability (as such term is defined in the Plan or determined under local law, as applicable), all remaining unexercised portion(s) of your Stock Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable by you or your appointed representative, as the case may be, until the expiration of the term of the Stock Option or such other term as the Committee may determine at or after grant, provided that such exercise period does not extend beyond the original term of the Stock Option.

b. Provided that you have remained in continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the first anniversary of the Grant Date, in the event your employment terminates due to Retirement, all remaining unexercised portion(s) of your Stock Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable by you until the expiration of the term of the Stock Option or such other term as the Committee may determine at or after grant, provided that such exercise period does not extend beyond the original term of the Stock Option.

c. In the event that your employment terminates due to Retirement prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Option Shares shall immediately be forfeited in their entirety.

d. Upon termination of your employment for reasons other than for Cause, death, Disability or Retirement, you shall have the shorter of (i) one (1) year from the date of termination and (ii) the remaining term of the Stock Option to exercise all vested Option Shares. Immediately upon termination of your employment for reasons other than for Cause, death, Disability or Retirement, all unvested Option Shares shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may extend the exercise period and/or accelerate vesting of any unvested Option Shares (provided that such exercise period does not extend beyond the original term of the Stock Option). Your termination date shall be the last day of your active service with the Company or an Affiliate (if applicable).

e. Immediately upon notice of termination of your employment for Cause, all unexercised Option Shares, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited.

f. The Option Shares, to the extent unexercised on the date following the end of any period described above or the term of the Stock Option set forth above in Section 2, shall thereupon be forfeited.

g. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, any termination of employment shall be effective as of the date your active employment ceases and shall not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

–Rev 12. 2022

h. Any one of your permitted transferee(s) (pursuant to Section 7 below) shall receive the rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Addendum. No transfer of this Stock Option shall be approved and effected by the Administrator unless (i) the Administrator shall have been timely furnished with written notice of such transfer and any copies of such notice as the Committee may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary to establish the validity of the transfer; (ii) the transferee or transferees shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Addendum; and (iii) such transfer complies with applicable laws and regulations.

i. If you are a resident or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Stock Option and this Agreement are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the Stock Option is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

j. If you reside or work in a country where the local foreign exchange rules and regulations require the repatriation of sale proceeds, the Company may require you to sell any Option Shares you acquire under the Plan immediately or within a specified period following your termination of employment (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on your behalf).

5. Change in Control. To the extent that you have not entered into a Change in Control Agreement with the Company and except as the Administrator (as defined in the Plan) may otherwise determine, immediately prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), any unvested portion of the Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable. In addition, the Stock Option shall terminate immediately prior to the Change in Control unless the Stock Option is exercised coincident therewith or assumed in accordance with the immediately following sentence. If there is a surviving or acquiring entity, the Administrator may provide for a substitution or assumption of the Stock Option by the acquiring or surviving entity or an affiliate thereof, on such terms as the Administrator determines. If there is no surviving or acquiring entity, or if the Administrator does not provide for a substitution or assumption of the Stock Option, any unvested portion of the Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable on a basis that gives you a reasonable opportunity to participate as a stockholder in the Change in Control. If you have entered into a Change in Control agreement with the Company, the Stock Option will vest according to the provisions of the Change in Control agreement.

6. Recoupment Policy.

(a) Current Recoupment Policy. Pursuant to the Company’s recoupment policy and to the extent permitted by governing law, the Board, in its discretion, may seek Recovery of the Award granted to you if you are a Current Executive Officer or Former Executive Officer and you, in the judgment of the Board, commit misconduct or a gross dereliction of duty that results in a material violation of Company policy and causes significant harm to the Company while serving in your capacity as Executive Officer.

(i) Definitions. The following terms, when used in this Section 6, shall have the meaning set forth below:

–Rev 12. 2022

(1) “Current Executive Officer” means any individual currently designated as an “executive officer” by the Board under Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(2) “Executive Officer” means any Current Executive Officer or Former Executive Officer.

(3) “Former Executive Officer” means any individual previously (but not currently) designated as an “executive officer” by the Board under Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(4) “Recovery” means the forfeiture or cancellation of unexercised Stock Options, whether vested or unvested.

(b) Provisions Required by Law. If the Company subsequently determines that it is required by law to apply a “clawback” or alternate recoupment provision to outstanding Awards, under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or recoupment provision also shall apply to this Award, as applicable, as if it had been included on the Grant Date and the Company shall notify you of such additional provision.

7. Restrictions on Shares; Legend on Certificate. Shares of Stock issued to you in certificate form or to your book entry account upon exercise of the Stock Option may be restricted from transfer or sale by the Company and evidenced by stop-transfer instructions upon your book entry account or restricted legend(s) affixed to certificates in the form as the Company or its counsel may require with respect to any applicable restrictions on sale or transfer.

8. Transferability. Except as required by law, you shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, gift, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Stock Option granted under this Agreement other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or without payment of consideration to your Family Members or to trusts or other entities for the benefit of your Family Members. During your lifetime, the Stock Option is exercisable only by you, subject to Section 4 above.

9. Satisfaction of Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the Affiliate that employs you (the “Employer”) (if applicable) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and 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 Stock Option, including the grant of the Stock Option, the vesting of the Stock Option, the exercise of the Stock Option, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and the receipt of any dividends, and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the delivery of shares of Stock upon exercise of the Stock Option, if your country of residence (and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient whole number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option that has an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of

–Rev 12. 2022

Stock, or to the extent it would not result in adverse accounting treatment, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold shares of Stock based on a rate of up to the maximum applicable withholding rate. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Stock Option, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are withheld 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. By accepting the Stock Option, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Stock as provided for hereunder.

Alternatively, you hereby authorize the Company (on your behalf and at your direction pursuant to this authorization) to immediately sell a sufficient whole number of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise resulting in sale proceeds sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. You agree to sign any 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 to the Company to satisfy the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld). Further, the Company or the Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your salary or any other amounts payable to you, with no withholding of shares of Stock or sale of shares of Stock, or may require you to submit a cash payment equivalent to the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the exercised Stock Option.

All other Tax-Related Items related to the Stock Option and any shares of Stock delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility. In no event, shall whole shares of Stock be withheld by or delivered to the Company in satisfaction of any Tax-Related Items in excess of the maximum statutory tax withholding required by law. You agree to indemnify the Company and its Affiliates against any and all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses that the Company and its Affiliates may hereafter incur, suffer or be required to pay with respect to the payment or withholding of any Tax-Related Items.

The Stock Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, and without your consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.

10. Repatriation and Legal/Tax Compliance Requirements. If you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, you agree to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Option) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, you agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and the Employer, as may be required to allow the Company and the Employer to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

–Rev 12. 2022

11. Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Stock Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including (but not limited to) your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Stock Options awarded to you or any other entitlements to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”) for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including but not limited to E*TRADE Securities LLC (“E*TRADE”) or any successor or any other third party that the Company or E*TRADE (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Plan from time to time. You understand the recipients of the Data may be located in your country, in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative.

You authorize the Company 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 your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option. You understand that you 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 consent herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consent herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Stock Options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

–Rev 12. 2022

(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Stock Option, the shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option, and the income from and value of same are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service you may provide as a director of an Affiliate;

ISRAEL

102 Sub-Plan. The Stock Option is granted to you pursuant to the Israeli Sub-Plan to the Boston Scientific Corporation Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Israeli Sub-Plan”), and is subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Israeli Sub-Plan, the Plan, and the Agreement, including this Addendum. By accepting the Stock Option you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the Israeli Sub-Plan and consent to the terms of the “Consent Letter - 102 Capital Gain Awards” attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Consent Letter”). If you do not affirmatively accept the Stock Option (and accordingly, the terms of the Israeli Sub-Plan, the Agreement and the Consent Letter) within ninety (90) days after the Grant Date, the Stock Option may not qualify under the capital gain tax treatment.

Until further election by the Company, the Stock Option and any shares of Stock received upon exercise of the Stock Option are intended to qualify for the tax treatment available in Israel pursuant to the provisions of the “capital gain track” under Section 102 (“Section 102”) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961 (the “ITO”), including the provisions of the Income Tax Rules (Tax Benefits in Shares Issuance to Employees), 2003 and any Tax Ruling. However, in the event the Stock Option does not meet the requirements of Section 102 of the ITO, such Stock Option and the underlying shares of Stock shall not qualify for the favorable tax treatment under the capital gain track. The Company makes no representations or guarantees that the Stock Option will qualify for favorable tax treatment and will not be liable or responsible if favorable tax treatment is not available under Section 102.

The Stock Option is subject to the trust (the “Trust”) established by the trust and services agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with ESOP Management and Trust Services Ltd. (the “Trustee”). To receive the tax treatment provided for in Sections 102(b)(2) and 102(b)(3) of the ITO, shares of Stock acquired by you upon exercise of the Stock Option will be issued directly to the Trustee or controlled by the Trustee under a supervisory trustee arrangement, and will be held by the Trustee on your behalf or controlled by the Trustee at least until the end of the Required Holding Period (as defined in the Israeli Sub-Plan), which is currently twenty-four (24) months from the Grant Date, or any other period determined under the ITO as now in effect or as hereafter amended or by the Israeli Income Tax Authority. Subject to the conclusion of the Required Holding Period and any further period included herein, shares of Stock acquired by you upon exercise of the Stock Option will be held or controlled by the Trustee until their sale, unless you request to release the shares of Stock to your direct holding, in which case the release will be subject to the receipt by the Trustee of an acknowledgment from the Israeli Income Tax Authority that you have paid all applicable taxes due pursuant to the ITO and Section 102, or the Trustee withholds any applicable tax due pursuant to the ITO and Section 102. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you elect to sell or release any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option prior to the conclusion of the Required Holding Period, the tax consequences under Section 102 shall apply to and shall be borne solely by you, as further set forth in the Israeli Sub-Plan.

The Company may at its sole discretion replace the Trustee from time to time and instruct the transfer of all Stock Options and shares of Stock held and/or administered by such Trustee at

–Rev 12. 2022

such time to its successor and the provisions of your Agreement shall apply to the new Trustee mutatis mutandis.

Any and all Tax-Related Items due in relation to the Stock Option and shares of Stock shall be borne solely by you and in the event of death, by your heirs. The Company, the Employer and/or the Trustee shall withhold Tax-Related Items according to the requirements under the applicable laws, the rules, and regulations, including withholding Tax-Related Items at source. Furthermore, you hereby agree to indemnify the Company, the Employer and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such Tax-Related Items or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such Tax-Related Items from any payment made to you. The Company, the Employer and/or the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall have the right to deduct from any payment otherwise due to you, or from proceeds of the sale of any shares of Stock, an amount equal to any Tax-Related Items required by law to be withheld with respect to such shares of Stock. You will pay to the Company, the Employer or the Trustee any Tax-Related Items that the Company, the Employer or the Trustee may be required to withhold with respect to any shares of Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver any shares of Stock if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section. Any fees associated with any vesting, sale, transfer or any act in relation to the Stock Option and the shares of Stock, shall be borne by you. The Trustee, the Company and/or the Employer shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such fees from payments otherwise due to/from the Company, the Employer or the Trustee.

Securities Law Information. The Company has obtained from the Israel Securities Authority an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus in relation to the Plan.

By accepting the Stock Option, you hereby waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with Boston Scientific Corporation and the Employer for any reason whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (i) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan, or (ii) your ceasing to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan as a result of such termination.

NEW ZEALAND

Securities Law Information.

Warning

This is an offer of a Stock Option which, upon exercise and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, will be converted into shares of Stock. Shares of Stock give you a stake in the ownership of Boston Scientific Corporation. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Boston Scientific Corporation runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of 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 purchase 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.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the exercise and settlement of the Stock Option, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting or dividend rights) with respect to the underlying shares of Stock.

No interest in any Stock Option may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The shares of Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire shares of Stock under the Plan, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Stock.

RUSSIA

U.S. Transaction. You understand that the Stock Option shall be valid and this Agreement shall be concluded and become effective only when the Agreement is received by the Company in the United States. Upon exercise of the Stock Option, any shares of Stock to be issued to you shall be delivered to you through a bank or brokerage account in the United States. In no event will shares of Stock be delivered to you in Russia; instead, all shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option will be maintained on your behalf in the United States. You are not permitted to sell shares of Stock acquired at vesting directly to a Russian legal entity or resident.

Securities Law Information. You acknowledge that the Stock Option, the Equity Award and Acceptance Summary, the Agreement, the Plan and all other materials that you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. The shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan have not and will not be registered in Russia and, therefore, neither the Stock Option nor the shares of Stock may be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.

Cashless Exercise Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, depending on the development of local regulatory requirements, the Company reserves the right to restrict exercise of your Stock Option to a cashless exercise through a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company, such that all shares of Stock subject to the exercised Stock Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale, less the Xxxxx Xxxxx, any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to you in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

–Rev 12. 2022

Repatriation Requirements. You agree to promptly repatriate proceeds resulting from the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan to a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia if legally required at the time shares of Stock are sold and to comply with all applicable local foreign exchange rules and regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

The repatriation requirement may not apply with respect to cash amounts received in an account that is considered by the Central Bank of Russia to be a foreign brokerage account opened with a financial market institution other than a bank. Statutory exceptions to the repatriation requirement also may apply.

Anti-Corruption Notification. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of Stock of foreign companies such as the Company). Accordingly, you should inform the Company if you are covered by these laws because you should not hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

Labor Law Information. If you continue to hold shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option after an involuntary termination of employment, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.

Vesting and Exercise of Stock Option. Depending on the development of local regulatory requirements, the Company reserves the right to postpone the vesting and/or the ability to exercise the Stock Option, to restrict exercise of the Stock Option to a cashless sell-all exercise and/or to pay any proceeds related to the Stock Option to you through local payroll, or to cancel the Stock Option for no consideration.

In particular, you understand and agree that any unvested Stock Option as of the date you cease active employment and any vested portion of the Stock Option not exercised within the post-termination exercise period set out in the Agreement will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation or retirement prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 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 Employer and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985.

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 reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 9 of the Agreement.

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 Award, whether or not as a result of your termination of employment (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award. Upon the grant of your Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.

APPENDIX A

CONSENT LETTER

102 CAPITAL GAIN AWARDS FOR PARTICIPANTS RESIDING IN ISRAEL

Dear Participant,

Boston Scientific Corporation (the “Company”) has elected to apply the capital gains route in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) on awards granted under the Boston Scientific Corporation Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) to Israeli Participants (as defined in the Israeli sub-plan to the Incentive Plan (the “Israel Sub-Plan”), which was approved by the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors on November 14, 2022) and any future incentive plan implemented by the Company in Israel (“Awards” and “Capital Gains Route”), subject to the Company’s absolute discretion to change such election on future grants, with or without advance notice. Unless otherwise notified to you in writing by the Company, the Awards shall be granted to you under the Capital Gains Route, subject to compliance with the requirements of such tax route.

The Capital Gains Route election will enable you to enjoy lower tax rates on a portion of the income received upon disposition of the shares of Company common stock (“Shares”) issued to you from or in connection to the Awards, provided however that all the requirements under Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Income Tax (Tax Abatement on the Grant of Shares to Employees) Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) are met.

Below you will find a brief description of the Israeli income tax consequences of the Capital Gains Route. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SUMMARY BELOW IS ONLY A BRIEF SUMMARY THAT DOES NOT COVER ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 102 OF THE ORDINANCE AND THE REGULATIONS AND IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE ANY TAX ADVICE. IN ADDITION, THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISER BEFORE ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS CONSENT LETTER OR BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY AWARDS OR DISPOSING OF SHARES.

The main restrictions that are included under Section 102 of the Ordinance are as follows:

(1) Your Awards and the Shares issued under such Awards will be held in trust or controlled by a trustee for at least a period determined in Section 102 under the Capital Gains Route (“Required Holding Period”) (currently twenty-four months from the date in which the Awards were granted to you).

(2) During the Required Holding Period you will not be able to sell, pledge, release from trust or otherwise perform any transaction in connection to the Awards or Shares granted to you.

Provided that all conditions set by the Ordinance under the Capital Gains Route are met, including the above conditions, you will, in general, be taxed as follows:

•The lower of (1) the difference between the fair market value of the underlying Shares on the grant date and the exercise price (plus any transactional expenses incurred in

–Rev 12. 2022

connection with the sale) and (2) the difference between the sale proceeds and the exercise price (plus any transactional expenses incurred in connection with the sale) will be treated as ordinary income subject to income tax and employee/employer social insurance contributions (to the extent the applicable contribution ceiling has not been exceeded). For tax purposes, the fair market value of the Shares at grant is deemed to be the average price of the Shares over the 30 trading days preceding the grant.

•The remainder of the gain, if any, will be treated as a capital gain and will be taxed at the capital gains tax rate of 25%. No social insurance contributions will be due on this portion of the gain.

In addition, a surtax may be imposed if your income is in excess of the applicable annual threshold.

If you sell your Shares, or release the Shares from trust, before the end of the Holding Period, you will immediately be subject to income tax on the gain, at your marginal income tax rate, and will be also required to pay social security and health tax contributions on all your profit.

In order to enable you to enjoy the benefits of the Capital Gains Route, please express your acceptance and confirmation of the following terms, by accepting the Award through the electronic acceptance procedures established by the Company:

1. I undertake to comply with all the terms and conditions set under Section 102 of the Ordinance with regard to the Capital Gains Route and the Regulations.

2. I have had the opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this Consent Letter. I am familiar with and understand the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance in general, and the tax arrangement under the Capital Gains Route in particular, and agree to comply with such provisions, as amended from time to time.

3. I agree that Awards granted to me, and the Shares that may be derived from such Awards, will be held or controlled by a trustee for at least the duration of the Required Holding Period, as determined in Section 102 under the Capital Gains Route (currently twenty-four months from the date in which the Awards were granted).

4. I agree to the trust deed signed between the Company, my employer and the trustee available at Trust Deed RSU-Stock Option - Hebrew.pdf.

5. I understand that any release of such Awards or Shares from trust, or any sale of the Shares prior to the termination of the Required Holding Period, will result in taxation at my marginal tax rate, in addition to deductions of appropriate social security and health tax contributions.

6. I authorize the Company and/or my employer to provide the trustee with any information required for administrating the grant of the Awards, including without limitation information about my Awards, income tax rates, salary bank account, contact details and identification number and any reasonable information required by the trustee.

7. I declare that I am a resident of the state of Israel for tax purposes and agree to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address and acknowledge that if I cease to be an Israeli resident or if my engagement with the Company or any affiliate is

–Rev 12. 2022

terminated, the Awards and underlying Shares shall remain subject to Section 102, the trust agreement and the applicable equity plan and grant document.

8. I understand and agree that until the Company will determine otherwise, my acceptance of the terms of this Consent Letter will be sufficient, to apply to all potential future grants of Awards. I hereby confirm that by accepting this Consent Letter, I will be deemed to have elected to accept the terms and conditions herein in respect of any such potential future grant of Awards.

9. I acknowledge, understand and agree that the Awards are an extraordinary, one-time benefit granted to me, and do not create any contractual or other right to receive future grant of Awards.

10. I understand that neither the Company nor any affiliates guarantee that any Awards granted to me will be eligible for tax benefits pursuant to the Capital Gains Route and I agree that I will not hold the Company and/or any affiliate and/or the trustee liable for any tax consequences relating to my Awards, including any penalties or other negative tax consequences I could receive or be subject to if my Awards do not obtain the Capital Gains Route tax treatment, regardless of the reason for the Capital Gains Route tax treatment not being available.
