APPENDIX A
TO THE GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
PROVISIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS BASED OUTSIDE THE U.S.
The following terms and conditions apply to Participants based outside the U.S. or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a jurisdiction other than the U.S. In general, the terms and conditions in this Appendix A supplement the provisions of the main body of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated herein.
If Participant is based in the EEA+, the legal basis for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+.
If Participant is based outside of the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is Participant’s consent, as further described below.
If Participant is based in the EEA+, by acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and indicating consent via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant explicitly declares consent to the onward transfer of Personal Data by the Company to Broker or, as the case may be, a different service provider of the Company in the U.S. as described in Section 3(d) above.
If Participant is based outside of the EEA+, by acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and indicating consent via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant explicitly declares consent to the entirety of the Personal Data processing operations described in this Section 3 including, without limitation, the onward transfer of Personal Data by the Company to the Broker or, as the case may be, a different service provider of the Company in the U.S.
APPENDIX B
TO THE GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS BASED OUTSIDE THE U.S.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
Additional Terms and Conditions
This Appendix B, which is a part of the Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs, the Dividend Equivalents and/or the Shares underlying the RSUs and that will apply to Participant if Participant is in one of the countries listed below.
If Participant is a citizen and/or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes) or if Participant transfers employment and/or residency to a different jurisdiction after the Grant Date, the Company will, in its sole discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to Participant.
Notifications
This Appendix B also includes information relating to securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2026. 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 Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the RSUs vest and are settled or Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and 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 Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation.
Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if Participant transfers employment and/or residency to a different jurisdiction after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not apply to Participant in the same manner.

BRAZIL
Additional Terms and Conditions

CANADA
Additional Terms and Conditions
Award. The following provision replaces Section 1.1 of the Agreement:
Settlement. The following provision replaces Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement:
Nature of Grant. The following provisions replace Section 1(h) and 1(k) of Appendix A:
(h) except as explicitly and minimally required under applicable legislation, the RSUs, the Dividend Equivalents and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(k) except as explicitly and minimally required under applicable legislation, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from (i) forfeiture of the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents resulting from Participant ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever 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 or service agreement, if any) and/or (ii) the forfeiture or cancellation of the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents and/or recoupment of any Shares, cash, or other benefits acquired under the Plan resulting from the application of any recoupment or compensation recovery policy the Company may adopt and/or amend from time to time, or any other policy of the Company or any Subsidiary that provides for forfeiture, disgorgement or clawback with respect to incentive compensation, or as required by applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards;
Nature of Grant. The following provision replaces Section 1(l) of the Appendix A:
Except as explicitly and minimally required under applicable legislation, for purposes of the RSUs, the date that Participant is no longer actively employed by, or actively providing services to, the Company or a Subsidiary shall be the “Termination Date,” and:
Unless explicitly and minimally required by applicable legislation, the Termination Date shall exclude and shall not be extended by any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under statute, contract, common/civil law or otherwise.
Subject to Applicable Laws, if the date Participant is no longer actively providing services cannot be reasonably determined under the Agreement, the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of Participant’s participation in the Plan (including whether Participant may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence).
For greater certainty, Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting or other benefits or participation under the Plan for that period of time before the Termination Date, nor will Participant be entitled to any compensation or damages for lost vesting or other benefits or participation under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued vesting or other benefits or participation during a statutory notice period, Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs or otherwise benefit under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of Participant’s minimum statutory notice period. For clarity, Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting or other benefits or participation if the vesting date falls after the end of the statutory notice period, nor will Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting or other benefits or participation under the Plan.
For the sake of clarity, any reference to the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (or any similar concept) under the Agreement or the Plan will be interpreted to mean the Termination Date as defined above.
Notifications
Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the Broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Participant is required to report any foreign specified property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., RSUs), annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds CAD 100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the CAD 100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The Form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with a personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

Securities Law Information. The grant of the RSUs under the Plan is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”) and is not made with a view to the Shares being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The RSUs are subject to section 257 of the SFA and Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale of the Shares in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the RSUs in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made (i) after six (6) months from the Grant Date, or (ii) pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA, or (iii) pursuant to, and in accordance with the condition of, any other applicable provisions of the SFA.

UNITED KINGDOM
Additional Terms and Conditions
Settlement. The following provision replaces Section 2.2 of the Agreement:
The discretion to settle vested RSUs in cash, as described in Section 9 of the Plan, does not apply to RSUs granted to Participants in the United Kingdom, and vested RSUs will be settled in Shares only.
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Appendix A:
Without limitation to Section 2 of the Appendix A, Participant agrees that Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax or relevant authority). Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold, or have paid or will pay, to HMRC (or any other tax or relevant authority) on Participant’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax that is not collected from or paid by Participant, as it may be considered a loan. In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected may constitute an additional benefit to Participant on which the additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant understands that Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any
income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may be collected from Participant by the Company or the Employer by any of the means referred to in Section 2 of the Appendix A.
