FORM BOD AWARD AGREEMENT
<Director Name> October __, 20__
Subject: Award of Restricted Stock Units
This is to advise you that The Procter & Xxxxxx Company (“Company”) hereby grants to you Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) of Procter & Xxxxxx Common Stock as follows:
| Number of Restricted Stock Units: | [# SHARES] | ||||
| Grant Date: | [GRANT DATE] | ||||
| Vest Date: | [DATE (Day Before Next Annual Meeting Following Grant)] | ||||
| Original Settlement Date: | [DATE] | ||||
This Award is granted in accordance with and subject to the terms of The Procter & Xxxxxx 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (including any applicable sub-plan) (the “Plan”), the Regulations of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”), and this Award Agreement, including Attachment A-BOD. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan.
Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents
As a holder of RSUs, during the period from the Grant Date until the date the RSUs are paid, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional RSUs (“Dividend Equivalent RSUs”). The number of Dividend Equivalent RSUs will be determined as follows: multiply the number of RSUs and Dividend Equivalent RSUs currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on Common Stock, then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent RSUs will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original RSUs that gave rise to them, including vesting and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent RSUs on the date the RSUs are paid, the resulting fractional share units may be paid as cash, fractional shares, or rounded up to the nearest full share based on administrative preference of the Company. This Award represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive payment in the future, and does not entitle you to voting rights or dividend rights as a shareholder.
Vesting and Payment
If you remain a Non-Employee Director through the Vest Date, the Award will be paid on the Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is applicable, except in the case of death or Disability. In the case of death or Disability, the Award will be fully vested and payment will be made by the later of the end of the calendar year or two and a half months following the date of death or Disability, as applicable. If you leave the Board without cause before the Vest Date you will retain a pro-rata portion of your Award based on days of service during the vesting period, subject to the terms and conditions governing the Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, payment shall be made pursuant to the terms provided in the Plan.
Payment under this Award will be made in the form of Common Stock or such other form of payment as determined by the Committee pursuant to the Plan, subject to applicable tax withholding.
Deferral Election
At any time prior to Termination of Directorship, you and the Company may agree to postpone the Original Settlement Date to such later date (“Agreed Settlement Date”) as may be elected by you, which date shall be at least five years later than the Original Settlement Date and in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
This Award Agreement including Attachment A-BOD, the Plan and Regulations of the Committee together constitute an agreement between the Company and you in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, and no other understanding and/or agreements that have been entered by you with the Company regarding this specific Award. Any legal action related to this Award may be brought in any federal or state court located in Hamilton County, Ohio, USA, and you hereby agree to accept the jurisdiction of these courts and consent to service of process from said courts solely for legal actions related to this Award.

By completing this form and accepting the Award evidenced hereby, I acknowledge that: i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Xxxxxx Company (“P&G”), it is discretionary in nature and it may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; ii) Awards under the Plan are voluntary and occasional and this Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards, or benefits in lieu of an Award, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past; iii) all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of P&G; iv) my participation in the Plan is voluntary; v) this Award is an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; vi) the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with P&G; and furthermore, the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with P&G; vii) the future value of the shares purchased under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, may increase or decrease in value and potentially have no value; viii) my participation in the Plan shall not interfere with the ability of P&G to terminate my directorship at any time, with or without cause; and ix) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the Award or the diminution in value of the Award or shares purchased and I irrevocably release P&G from any such claim that may arise.
Data Privacy
I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, The Procter & Xxxxxx Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“P&G”) for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan.
I understand that P&G holds certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, , any shares of stock or directorships held in P&G, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative.

Responsibility for Taxes
Regardless of any action P&G takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and that P&G (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the issuance, vesting or exercise, settlement, the subsequent sale of shares acquired, the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents or the potential impact of current or future tax legislation in any jurisdiction; and (2) does not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to exercise or settlement of an Award, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to P&G to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of P&G. In this regard, I authorize P&G to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by P&G or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, P&G may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that I acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that P&G only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, I shall pay to P&G any amount of Tax-Related Items that P&G may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan or my purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. P&G may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
