Allegion plc (the “Company”) hereby grants to [insert name] (“Participant”) a performance stock unit award (the “PSUs”) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan of 2013 (the “Plan”), including the terms and conditions for Performance-Based Awards as set forth in Section 8(b) of the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings in this Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (“the Award Agreement”).

Each PSU that vests pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement shall provide Participant with the right to receive one ordinary share of the Company (the “Share”) on the issuance date described in Section 6 below. The number of Shares subject to the PSUs, the performance and service vesting conditions applicable to such Shares, the date on which vested Shares shall become issuable and any further terms and conditions governing the PSUs shall be as set forth in this Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in the attached Appendix B for Participant’s country.


1.	Number of Shares.

The number of Shares subject to the PSUs at target performance level is [insert number of Shares subject to PSUs at target]. The maximum number of Shares subject to the PSUs is [insert maximum number of Shares subject to PSUs] Shares, provided, however, that the actual number of Shares that become issuable pursuant to the PSUs shall be determined in accordance with the fulfillment of certain performance conditions set forth in the attached Appendix A and the additional vesting requirements set forth in Section 5 below.

5.	Termination of Employment.

(a)Group Termination; Job Elimination / Change / Relocation

If Participant’s employment terminates involuntarily by reason of (i) a group termination (including, but not limited to, terminations resulting from sale of a business or division, outsourcing of an entire function, reduction in workforce or closing of a facility) (a “Group Termination Event”) or (ii) job elimination, substantial change in the nature of Participant’s position or job relocation, a pro-rated number of Shares, based on the fulfillment of the performance vesting conditions as measured at the end of the Performance Period and determined by the Committee in Section 6 below and the number of days during the Performance Period that Participant was actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate, shall vest. All other PSUs and associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such PSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

(b)Termination Due to Death or

If Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, a pro-rated number of Shares, based on the fulfillment of the performance vesting conditions at target level performance and the number of days during the Performance Period that Participant was actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate, shall vest. All other PSUs and associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such PSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

(c)Termination Due to Retirement

If Participant’s employment terminates after attainment of age 55 with at least 5 years of service (“Retirement”), and unless Participant’s employment terminates for cause, as defined in Section 5(d) below, a pro-rated number of Shares, based on the fulfillment of the performance vesting conditions as measured at the end of the Performance Period and determined by the Committee in Section 6 below and the number of days during the Performance Period that Participant was actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate, shall vest. All other PSUs and associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such PSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

For purposes of this Section 5(d), “cause” shall mean (x) any action by Participant involving willful malfeasance or willful gross misconduct having a demonstrable adverse effect on the Company or an Affiliate; (y) Participant being convicted of a felony under the laws of the United States or any state or district (or the equivalent in any foreign jurisdiction); or (z) any material violation of the Company’s code of conduct, as in effect from time to time.


6.	Settlement.

On a date as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall certify the extent to which the performance vesting conditions set forth in Appendix A have been met (the “Certification Date”). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued to Participant Shares with respect to any PSUs that became vested on the Certification Date, provided that Participant was

employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the Certification Date (unless otherwise provided in Sections 5(a), (b) or (c) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee has the sole discretion to make downward adjustments to the award amount determined pursuant to Appendix A, including an adjustment such that no Shares are issued to Participant, regardless of the fulfillment of the performance vesting conditions set forth in Appendix A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment terminates in the circumstances set forth in Section 5(b) above, then on or as soon as practicable after such termination of employment, the Company shall cause to be issued to Participant Shares with respect to any PSUs that became vested pursuant to such section. Shares issued pursuant to this Section 6 shall be fully paid and non-assessable. Participant will not have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares subject to the PSUs unless and until such Shares have been issued to Participant.


7.	Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control, the treatment of the PSUs will be governed by the terms of the Plan.


8.	Responsibility for Taxes.

Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’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 Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, the Company will withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the PSUs. Alternatively, or in addition, in connection with any applicable taxable or tax withholding event, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:


(a)	withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company or the Employer,


(b)	withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) and/or


(c)	requiring Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company or an Affiliate in the amount of the Tax-Related Items;

provided, however, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Act, the withholding methods described in this Section 8(a), (b) and (c) will only be used if the Committee (as constituted to satisfy

Rule 16b-3 of the Act) determines, in advance of the applicable withholding event, that one such withholding method will be used in lieu of withholding Shares.

The Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested portion of the PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.


9.	Nature of Grant.

In accepting the PSUs, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be amended, altered or discontinued by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of performance stock units, or benefits in lieu of performance stock units, even if performance stock units have been granted in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future performance stock unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f)the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(g)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate;

(h)the PSU grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate and will not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate Participant's employment or service relationship (if any);

(i)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from Participant ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any) or from cancellation of the PSUs or recoupment of any financial gain resulting from the PSUs as described in Section 16 below;

(k)for purposes of the PSUs, Participant’s employment or other service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (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 Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any), and, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the PSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date, or will be measured with reference to such date in the case of a Group Termination Event (or other termination described in Section 5(a) above), Retirement or termination due to death or disability, and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of active service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the PSUs (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(l)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company, in its discretion, the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs 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 Shares; and

(m)neither the Company, nor the Employer nor any Affiliate will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PSUs or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.


10.	No Advice Regarding Grant.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.


11.	Data Privacy.

(a)Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all PSUs granted under the Plan or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company, with its registered address at Block D, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland, acts as the data controller in respect of such Data.

For Participants in the European Union / European Economic Area, the legal basis for the processing of Data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Company's contractual obligation to deliver Shares (if the conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement are satisfied) and, generally, to manage and administer Participant's participation in the Plan.

For Participants outside of the European Union / European Economic Area, the legal basis for the processing of Data is Participant’s consent.

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to UBS, Broadridge Output Solutions, Inc., Cognizant Worldwide Limited, DG3, HCL Technologies Limited, Iron Mountain, Solium Capital, Xxxxxx Communications, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. Participant may be asked to acknowledge or (where applicable) agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement (where applicable) being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.

(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent a company registers for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program.

For Participants in the European Union / European Economic Area, the legal basis for the transfer of Data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Company's contractual obligation to deliver Shares (if the conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement are satisfied) and, generally, to manage and administer Participant's participation in the Plan.

For Participants outside of the European Union / European Economic Area, the legal basis for the transfer of Data is Participant’s consent.

(d)Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.

(e)Data Subject Rights. Participant may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant understands that he or she can contact Xxxxxxxxxxx@Xxxxxxxx.xxx.

(f)Declaration of Consent (for Participants outside of the European Union / European Economic Area Only). By accepting this award of PSUs and indicating consent via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in Participant’s country.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing the consents described herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant PSUs under the Plan to Participant or administer or maintain Participant’s participation in the Plan.


12.	Electronic Delivery and Participation.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan by electronic means or to request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.


13.	Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx/Market Abuse Laws.

Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions including, but not limited to, the United States and Participant’s country of residence, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., PSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy.


14.	Country-Specific Terms and Conditions.

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for Participant’s country set forth in the attached Appendix B. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Appendix B constitutes part of this Award Agreement.


15.	Imposition of Other Requirements.

This grant is subject to, and limited by, all applicable laws and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Award Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of Shares. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the PSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


16.	Recoupment Provision.

In the event that Participant commits fraud or engages in intentional misconduct that results in a need for the Company to restate its financial statements, then the Committee may direct the Company to (i) cancel any outstanding portion of the PSUs and (ii) recover all or a portion of the financial gain realized by Participant

through the PSUs. Further, Participant agrees that the PSUs and any financial gain realized by Participant through the PSUs shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent required to comply with any applicable laws or the rules and regulations of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 954 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

If Participant has received this Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.


20.	Waiver.

Global Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement

For the 20XX - 20XX Performance Period

Performance Conditions

50% of PSU Achievement

Based on Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) growth versus pre-established threshold, target and maximum goals

The number of Shares subject to the PSUs that are eligible to vest based upon the attainment level of the EPS performance goal during the Performance Period shall be equal to the product of (a) 50%, multiplied by (b) the number of Shares subject to the PSUs at the target performance level set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement, multiplied by (c) the applicable Payout Level set forth below.



Performance Level	EPS Performance	Payout Level
Below Threshold	< $x.xx / share	0% (no payout)
Threshold	$x.xx / share	50%
Target	$x.xx / share	100%
Maximum	≥ $x.xx / share	200%


▪	Performance attainment at levels among the Threshold, Target and Maximum goals will be subject to interpolation.


▪	EPS is calculated based on the Company’s diluted earnings per share from continuing operations as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), adjusted to remove the effect of (i) charges for unusual or infrequently occurring items as determined under GAAP, and (ii) the following items:

▪

Costs associated with acquisitions or divestitures of a business or assets, without regard to whether the transaction is consummated, including: (a) any gains or losses from the transaction, including any liability or assets associated with the acquisition or divestiture, (b) professional fees, taxes and expenses related to the transaction and the integration of such transaction, and (c) any one-time costs related to purchase accounting recorded only within the first year.


▪	Costs arising from business restructurings, including facility closures, severance, professional fees, work stoppage or business interruption costs.


▪	Gains or losses resulting from the Company's refinancing of its debt obligations including professional fees associated with the issuance of indebtedness or the amendment, waiver or restructuring of the principal and terms of existing indebtedness.


▪	Gains or losses resulting from legal and tax matters such as litigation, audits, similar tax inquiries or voluntary disclosure projects that were initiated prior to the Company's spin-off from Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, including costs arising from the settlement of litigation or tax claims.


▪	Significant gains or losses on the sale of assets


▪	The Company's recognition of impairment charges in accordance with GAAP for its goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and investments.

▪	Separation related costs resulting from the Company's spin-off from Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx.


▪	The Company's recognition of asset impairment charges in accordance with GAAP triggered by the Company's spin-off from Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx.

50% of PSU Achievement

Based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) versus S&P 400 Capital Goods Index

The number of Shares subject to the PSUs that are eligible to vest based upon the attainment level of the TSR performance goal during the Performance Period shall be equal to the product of (a) 50%, multiplied by (b) the number of Shares subject to the PSUs at the target performance level set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement, multiplied by (c) the applicable Payout Level set forth below.



Performance Level	EPS Performance	Payout Level
Below Threshold	< 25th percentile	0% (no payout)
Threshold	25th percentile	50%
Target	50th percentile	100%
Maximum	≥ 75th percentile	200%


▪	For purposes of measuring TSR over the Performance Period, a point-to-point measurement is used. TSR is defined as the total return dollars (stock price appreciation plus dividends) at the end of the Performance Period compared to the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period.


▪	TSR will be compared against TSR of the companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index to determine relative performance during the Performance Period.


▪	To account for stock price volatility, the average of the closing price over the 30 trading days ending on the first day of the Performance Period and the 30 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period will be used as the applicable stock price for purposes of the calculation of TSR.


▪	If TSR in the final year of the Performance Period is not positive (i.e., greater than 0%), payout cannot exceed the Payout Level for Target for the TSR portion of the award.


▪	Performance attainment at levels among the Threshold, Target and Maximum goals will be subject to interpolation.

Appendix B

Allegion plc

Incentive Stock Plan of 2013

Global Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement

For the 20XX - 20XX Performance Period

Country-Specific Terms and Conditions

This Appendix B includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participant if Participant is in one of the countries listed below. These terms and conditions supplement or replace (as indicated) the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, or if Participant transfers employment or residency to another country after the PSUs are granted, the Company, in its discretion, will determine the extent to which the terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix B will apply to the Participant.

This Appendix B also includes information relating to exchange control, foreign asset / account reporting requirements and other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the PSUs vest or the Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation. The Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, or if Participant transfers employment or residency to another country after the PSUs are granted, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

Australia

Offer Document.

The Company is pleased to provide Participant with this offer to participate in the Plan. This offer sets out information regarding the grant of PSUs to Australian-resident employees and directors of the Company and its Affiliates. This offer is provided by the Company to ensure compliance of the Plan with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s (“ASIC”) Class Order 14/1000 and relevant provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.

In addition to the information set out in the Award Agreement, Participant is also being provided with copies of the following documents:


1)	the Plan;


2)	U.S. prospectus for the Plan; and


3)	Employee Information Supplement for Australia

(collectively, the “Additional Documents”).

The Additional Documents provide further information to help Participant make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the U.S. prospectus for the Plan is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001, and they have not been modified for Australia.

Participant should not rely upon any oral statements made in relation to this offer. Participant should rely only upon the statements contained in the Award Agreement and the Additional Documents when considering participation in the Plan.

Securities Law Information.

Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Participants who elect to participate in the Plan should monitor their participation and consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan as set out in the Award Agreement and the Additional Documents.

The information contained in this offer is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account Participant’s objectives, financial situation and needs.

Participants should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.

Additional Risk Factors for Australian Residents.

Participants should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of Shares. For example, the price at which the Company’s ordinary shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of the ordinary shares will increase. Factors which may affect the price of ordinary shares include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and

business risks.

In addition, Participants should be aware that the Australian dollar value of any Shares acquired under the Plan will be affected by the U.S. dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate. Participation in the Plan involves certain risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.

Ordinary Shares.

Ordinary shares of an Irish public limited company are analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of the ordinary shares is entitled to one vote for every share held.

Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from “distributable reserves.” Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of the Company less accumulated realized losses. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the Company’s net assets are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of its share capital which has been paid up or which is payable in the future plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce the Company’s net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve fund, the Company’s net unrealized profits and any other reserve which the company is prohibited from distributing.

The determination as to whether or not the Company has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to the “relevant accounts” of the Company. The “relevant accounts” will be either the last set of the Company’s unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Acts and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Ireland, which give a “true and fair view” of the Company’s unconsolidated financial position. The relevant accounts must be filed in the Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for companies in Ireland).

The mechanism as to who declares a dividend and when a dividend becomes payable is governed by the Company’s articles of association. The articles of association authorize the directors to declare dividends as appear justified from the profits without the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting. The Company’s board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by the shareholders at a general meeting. Although the shareholders may direct that the payment be made by distribution of assets, shares or cash, no dividend issued may exceed the amount recommended by the directors.The dividends declared by directors or shareholders may be paid in the form of assets, shares or cash.

The Company’s ordinary shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States of America under the symbol “ALLE”.

Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares.

Participants may ascertain the current market price of the Shares as traded on the New York Stock Exchange at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx under the symbol “ALLE.” The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxx.xxxx.

This will not be a prediction of what the market price per Share will be when the PSUs vest or settle or of the applicable exchange rate on the actual Vesting Date or settlement date.

If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Participant will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the time (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and/or (ii) the net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to Participant. Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
