MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC. NON-QUALIFIED GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.3
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
2024 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
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. 2024 Performance Incentive Plan, as may be 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 “▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇”). 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 180 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
1
February 12, 2025
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 90 days from the effective date of termination (the “90-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 90-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 90-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) is a day the Exchange is closed, the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 90-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 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
2
February 12, 2025
(a)to the extent permitted by applicable law, by cash, check or cash equivalent;
(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
3
February 12, 2025
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 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 or, if not refunded, the Optionee may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. 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 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ 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
4
February 12, 2025
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
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 Optionee’s confidentiality obligations to the Mondelēz Group.
(b) The Optionee is under a continuing obligation (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. The Optionee understands and agrees that Confidential Information developed by the Optionee in the course of the Optionee’s employment by the Employer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if the Employer furnished the same Confidential Information to the Optionee in the first instance.
(c) 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:
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;
5
February 12, 2025
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 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ less any Tax-Related Items; and
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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) The Optionee is ▇▇▇▇▇▇ advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this paragraph 6. The Optionee acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Agreement, the Optionee has been advised by the Company of the Optionee’s right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Optionee’s own selection regarding this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him or her pursuant to this paragraph 6. The Optionee acknowledges that they have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The
6
February 12, 2025
Optionee further represents that in entering into this Agreement, the Optionee is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company’s directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Optionee is relying only upon their own judgment and any advice provided by the Optionee’s attorney. The Optionee acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein but may voluntarily waive this period and sign prior to the 14 calendar day period lapsing.
(g) For purposes of this paragraph 6, the Company and any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this paragraph 6. Further, for purposes of this paragraph 6, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.
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 the Company’s ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Clawback Policy, the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, and 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, any other applicable law or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time. In connection with the enforcement of such clawback policies, the Optionee hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to reduce, cancel, or withhold against outstanding, unvested, vested, or future cash or equity-based compensation owed or due to the Optionee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. No such recovery will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between the Optionee and the Company or under any severance plans applicable to the Optionee.
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 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ 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.

(l)the Option is designated as not constituting an Incentive Stock Option; this Agreement shall be interpreted and treated consistently with such designation;

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC and its affiliates (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), 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, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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
10
February 12, 2025
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.
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.

APPENDIX A
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
2024 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
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 2025. 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.

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

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC and its affiliates (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.
17
February 12, 2025
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.
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

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 a certain threshold (currently, C$100,000) at any time during the year. The form must be filed by April 30th of the following year. Specified foreign property includes shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and may include Options. The Options must be reported‒generally at a nil cost‒if the applicable cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Optionee holds. If shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at exercise for Options, but if the Optionee owns other shares of Company Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.

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.

Exchange Control Obligations. The Optionee is solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations. In particular, the Optionee may be required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Plan) that the Optionee receives into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Since the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, 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. As noted, it is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.
NOTIFICATIONS
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”). The Optionee must renew this Tax Clearance Certificate each twelve (12) months or in such other period as may be required by the SARS.
If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cashless exercise whereby no funds are remitted offshore for the purchase of shares, he or she is not required to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate.
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 a certain amount (currently, 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 non-resident 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 a certain amount (currently, 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.

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 a certain threshold (currently, KRW 500 million (or an equivalent amount in foreign currency)) on any month-end date during a calendar year. The Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine how to value the Optionee’s foreign accounts for purposes of this reporting requirement and whether the Optionee is required to file a report with respect to such accounts.

By accepting the Option, the Optionee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.
The Optionee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Option, except as provided for in paragraph 2 of the Agreement, the termination of the Optionee’s employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Option that may have been granted to the Optionee and that have not vested on the date of termination.
In particular, the Optionee understands and agrees that any unvested Option as of Optionee’s termination date and any vested Option not exercised within the period set forth in the Agreement following Optionee’s termination date will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be 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 Royal Decree 1382/1985.

50

Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever; and (iii) the Option will cease vesting upon termination of the Optionee’s employment, as detailed in the paragraph above. Furthermore, the Optionee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the Option, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the Option and the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Optionee understands that the grant of the Option would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant to the Optionee of the Option shall be null and void.
