We are pleased to advise you (the “Participant”) that Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant that number of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) set forth below, subject to the terms and conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including Appendix A, which includes any applicable country-specific provisions. This Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, together with Appendix A, is referred to as the “Agreement.” The grant of RSUs reflects the Company’s confidence in the Participant’s commitment and contributions to the success and continued growth of the Company. All terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Unit.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Participant that number of RSUs (the “Award”) effective on the Date of Grant set forth below:
Date of Grant: Grant Date
Number of RSUs: Number of Awards Granted
Vesting Dates: Vesting Schedule
If the Participant resides in Australia, Canada, China, a European Economic Area or European Union member state, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Serbia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, or the United Kingdom, due to local legal requirements the Participant must accept this Agreement no later than Grant Custom 4 or this Award shall terminate and will become null and void. For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant is deemed to reside in the country where his or her Employer is located.
If the Participant resides in the United States or any other country listed in Appendix A and does not accept this Agreement by Grant Custom 4, or such other date that may be communicated, the Company will automatically accept the Agreement on the Participant’s behalf. If the Participant declines this Agreement, this Award shall terminate and will become null and void. The Participant may not decline this Agreement on or after Grant Custom 4.
Each one (1) RSU shall, if and when it vests in accordance with this Agreement, automatically convert into one (1) share of Common Stock, issuable as provided below. The RSUs are subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 and the right of the Company to retain Shares (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6 and to any special terms and conditions for countries outside the U.S. set forth in Appendix A.
2.Vesting and Conversion.
(a)Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the RSUs shall vest and be settled in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 1. For purposes of this Agreement, RSUs that have not vested as of any particular time in accordance with this Section 2(a) are referred to as “Unvested RSUs.” The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the vesting and conversion of the RSUs are referred to in this Agreement as “Shares.” As soon as administratively practicable after the issuance of any Shares upon the vesting and conversion of RSUs, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered evidence (which may include a book entry by the Company’s transfer agent) of the Shares so issued in the name of the Participant to the brokerage firm designated by the Company to maintain the brokerage account established for the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to issue Shares to or in the name of the Participant upon the vesting and conversion of any RSUs unless the issuance of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.
(b)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in Section 6(a)) is terminated either by the Participant, the Company, or the Employer for any reason or no reason (other than due to death or disability or as otherwise provided in the Plan or below), then in each such case, all of the Unvested RSUs as of the date of termination shall terminate and be cancelled immediately and automatically and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Unvested RSUs.
(c)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer is terminated by reason of the Participant’s death, all Unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date of the Participant’s death.
(d)In the event the Participant becomes Disabled, regardless of whether the Participant terminates employment with the Company or the Employer, all Unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date the Participant is determined to be Disabled. “Disabled” with respect to the Participant shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code.
(e)To be eligible for grants of RSUs under the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant must be an Employee, Director, or Consultant. Should a Participant transfer employment to become a Director or Consultant following the Date of Grant, he or she will still be considered employed for vesting purposes until he or she ceases to provide services to the Company or any direct or indirect Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such Parent or Subsidiary .
(f)For the avoidance of doubt, the RSUs granted to the Participant under this Agreement are expressly excluded from any Equity Award Policy for Acceleration of Vesting in the Event of a Change in Control that was previously adopted by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
3.Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any RSUs, either voluntarily or by operation of law.
(b)The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the RSUs which have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth herein or (ii) to treat as the owner of such RSUs any transferee to whom such RSUs have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions contained herein.
4.Not a Shareholder. The RSUs represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares upon vesting and conversion of the RSUs, and until vesting of the RSUs and issuance of the Shares, the Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall have no right to receive any dividends and shall have no voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs for which the record date is on or before the date on which the Shares underlying the RSUs are issued to the Participant.
5.Provisions of the Plan. The RSUs and Shares, including the grant and issuance thereof, are subject to the provisions of the Plan. A copy of the Plan prospectus is available on the Company’s Intranet at https://thecircuit.web.analog.com/Pages/CircuitHome.aspx. (From The Circuit home page, click Knowledge Centers, HR, Employee Stock Programs. The related documents can be found in the right-hand column). If the Participant is unable to access this information via the Intranet, the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator can provide the Participant with copies (Stock_Plan_Admin@Analog.com).
6.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Regardless of any action the Company and/or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally applicable to the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The 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 RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations, if any, with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the methods set forth below:
(i)the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date); or
(ii)the Company may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant; or
(iii)the Company may withhold from proceeds of the sale of Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization);
provided, however, that if the Participant is an officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the RSUs pursuant to (i) above, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied pursuant to (iii); or
(iv)any other method determined by the Company, to the extent permitted under the Plan and applicable laws.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s). If the Company and/or
the Employer withhold more than the amount necessary to satisfy the liability for Tax-Related Items, the Participant may receive a refund of the over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares) or, if not refunded, the Participant may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. If the Company and/or the Employer withhold less than the amount necessary to satisfy the liability for Tax-Related Items, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSU, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through the Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be issued upon vesting of the RSUs unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company and/or the Employer determine, in each of its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the RSUs and the issuance of Shares hereunder. By accepting this grant of RSUs, the Participant expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Participant’s sole responsibility.
7.Option of Company to Deliver Cash. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement, and except as set forth in Appendix A, where settlement in Shares is otherwise prohibited under local law or may present adverse tax consequences to the Participant, at the time the RSUs vest, the Company may elect, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, to deliver by wire transfer to the Participant in lieu of Shares an equivalent amount of cash (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date). If the Company elects to deliver cash to the Participant, the Company is authorized to retain such amount as is sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy the Tax-Related Items withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer pursuant to Section 6 herein.
8.Repatriation and Other Legal Requirements. The Participant agrees as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, as applicable, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant.
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)No Rights to Employment. The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or the Employer, nor limit in any way the right of the Company or the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. Except in the event of Disability or a termination of employment due to death, the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by satisfaction of the performance conditions, if any, and continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company or the Employer (not through the act of being hired or engaged or being granted the RSUs hereunder).
(b)Discretionary Nature. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted under the Plan. The Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The grant of the RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer. The RSUs and income from such RSUs shall not be included in any calculation of severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments. The grant of RSUs should in no event be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer.
(c)Exclusion from Termination Indemnities and Other Benefits. This Section 9(c) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: The value of the RSUs and any other awards granted under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (and the Participant’s employment contract, if any). Any grant under the Plan, including the grant of the RSUs and the income and value of same, is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary. Further, the RSUs and the Shares, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(d)No Entitlement. This Section 9(d) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S. and/or the Company is not the Participant's employer: In consideration of the grant of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of applicable laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment contract, if any) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim.
(e)Exchange Rates. This Section 9(e) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: The Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor the Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares.
(f)Future Value of Shares. The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty.
(g)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
(h)Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Participant and his or her respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.
(i)Notice. Each notice relating to this Award shall be in writing (which shall include electronic form) and delivered in person, electronically or by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address as hereinafter provided. Each notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date it is received. Each notice to the Company shall be addressed to it at its offices at Analog Devices, Inc., One Analog Way, Wilmington, Massachusetts, 01887 U.S.A., Attention: Stock Plan Administrator. Each notice to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s last known mailing or email address, as applicable, on the records of the Company.
(j)Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
(k)Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of these documents.
(l)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.
(m)Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, or local securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, or local governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. The Participant also understands and agrees that the Awards granted under the Plan, including the RSUs and the underlying Shares, are subject to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and any SEC regulations, as now or hereafter in effect. Further, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.

(q)English Language. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the RSUs, be drawn up in English. If the Participant has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the RSUs translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version shall control.
(r)Appendix A. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Participant transfers the Participant’s residence and/or employment to a country other than the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for such country as may be set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix A, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement.
(s)Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(t)Private Placement. The Company has submitted filings in the United States in connection with the Plan. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with other local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under such local law), and the grant of the Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in any other jurisdiction or subject to the supervision of other local securities authorities.
(u)Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any non-cash distribution to holders of Common Stock, the number of RSUs, and Shares issuable upon vesting and conversion thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted in such manner as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company.
(v)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Shares. The Participant is encouraged to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
(w)Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell, or otherwise dispose of Common Stock, rights to Common Stock (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Common Stock (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or otherwise causing them to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties includes fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

The Participant further understands that he or she should consult the Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
(y)Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company or breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.
(z)Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or otherwise. However, to the extent that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the parties intend that this Agreement and such benefits comply with the deferral, payout, and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.

APPENDIX A
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to the Participant if the Participant resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
This Appendix A also includes certain issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the RSUs vest or Shares acquired under the Plan subsequently are sold.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Therefore, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, the Participant understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working and/or residing, transfers employment and/or residency after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to the Participant, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
Data Privacy Information and Consent. The Company is located at One Analog Way, Wilmington, Massachusetts, 01887 U.S.A. and grants employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries RSUs, at the Company’s sole discretion. If the Participant would like to participate in the Plan, please review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices and declare the Participant’s consent.
(a)Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data of Participants, including, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs, canceled, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. If the Company offers the Participant a grant of RSUs under the Plan, then the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s personal data would be his or her consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC and certain of its affiliates (“Fidelity”), an independent service provider based in the United States, 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 the Participant’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade shares of Common Stock. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. If the Participant is outside the United States, the Participant should note that his or her country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States and that the United States might not provide a level of protection of personal data equivalent to the level of protection in the Participant's country. In order to ensure an appropriate level of protection for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the Company in the United States, the Company has implemented the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. However, the onward transfer of the Participant’s personal data by the Company to its service provider is not subject to appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and is based solely on the Participant’s consent. The Participant understands and acknowledges that this might result in certain risks to the protection of his or her personal data due to the lack of legal principles governing the processing of the personal data, oversight by a supervisory authority or enforceable data subject rights in the United States.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with applicable laws, exercise or defense of legal rights, and archiving, deletion, and backup purposes. This means the Participant’s personal data may be retained beyond the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. The Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Participant’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant withdraws his or her consent, the Participant cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant’s salary from or employment with the Employer; the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(f)Data Subject Rights. The Participant has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where the Participant is based, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (a) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (b) rectification of incorrect data, (c) deletion of data, (d) restrictions on processing, (e) portability of data, (f) lodge

The Participant should obtain legal advice on any disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in the Act).

If the Participant holds securities (including Shares acquired under the Plan) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Shares) outside Austria, he or she may be subject to reporting obligations to the Austrian National Bank. If the value of the Shares meets or exceeds a certain threshold, the Participant must report the securities held on a quarterly basis to the Austrian National Bank as of the last day of the quarter, on or before the 15th day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter. In all other cases, an annual reporting obligation applies and the report has to be filed as of December 31 on or before January 31 of the following year using the form P2.

If the Participant sells Shares, or receives any cash dividends, the Participant may have exchange control obligations if he or she holds the cash proceeds outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all the Participant’s accounts abroad meets or exceeds a certain threshold, the Participant must report to the Austrian National Bank the movements and balances of all accounts on a monthly basis, as of the last day of the month, on or before the 15th day of the following month, using the form “Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen.”
BELGIUM
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information.

The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium.
Stock Exchange Tax. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a financial intermediary, such as a bank or broker. If the transaction is conducted through a Belgian financial intermediary, it may withhold the stock exchange tax, but if the transaction is conducted through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, the Belgian resident may need to report and pay the stock exchange tax directly. The stock exchange tax likely will apply when Shares acquired under the Plan are sold. Belgian residents should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on their obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Annual Securities Accounts Tax. An annual securities accounts tax may be payable if the total value of securities held in a Belgian or foreign securities account (e.g., Shares) exceeds a certain threshold on four reference dates within the relevant reporting period (i.e., December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). In such case, the tax will be due on the value of the qualifying securities held in such account. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax or financial advisor for additional details.

Termination of Employment. The following supplements Section 2 of the Agreement (except Section 2(d) regarding disability) as well as any other section required to give effect to the same:
In the event of termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason (other than by reason of death), either by the Participant or by the Employer, with or without cause, the Participant’s right to vest or to continue to vest in the RSUs and receive Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the actual Date of Termination. For this purpose, the “Date of Termination” shall mean the last day on which the Participant is actively employed by the Employer and shall not include or be extended by any period following such day during which the Participant is in receipt of or eligible to receive any notice of termination, pay in lieu of notice of termination, severance pay or any other payments or damages, whether arising under statute, contract or at common law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of the Participant’s minimum statutory notice period, but the Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting if the vesting date falls after the end of the Participant’s statutory notice period, nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. Foreign specified property (including cash held outside Canada or Shares) held by Canadian residents must be reported annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the cost of such foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.

The RSUs must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property the Participant holds. If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the Shares at exercise, but if the Participant owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. If due, the Form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine the reporting requirements.
The following terms and conditions apply if the Participant is in Quebec:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, the RSUs will not vest and no Shares will be issued to the Participant unless and until all necessary exchange control or other approvals with respect to the RSUs under the Plan have been obtained from the SAFE or its local counterpart (“SAFE Approval”). In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained prior to any date(s) on which the RSUs are scheduled to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Agreement, the RSUs will not vest until the seventh day of the month following the month in which SAFE Approval is obtained (the “Actual Vesting Date”). If the Participant’s status as a service provider terminates prior to the Actual Vesting Date, the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any portion of the RSUs and the RSUs shall be forfeited without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any other Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.
Exchange Control Requirements. Due to exchange control laws in the PRC, Shares acquired through RSU vestings must be maintained in the Fidelity (or any successor broker designated by the Company) brokerage account until the Shares are sold. When the Shares are sold, all proceeds must be repatriated to the PRC and held in a special exchange control account maintained by the Company, the Employer or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries in the PRC. To the extent that the Participant holds any Shares on the date that is three (3) months (or such other period as may be required by the SAFE) after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or the Employer, the Participant authorizes Fidelity (or any successor broker designated by the Company) to sell such Shares on the Participant’s behalf at that time or as soon as is administratively practical thereafter. The Participant understands and agrees that the Company's designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the Participant the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items.

As the exchange control regulations in Serbia may change without notice, the Participant should consult with his or her personal advisor with respect to all applicable reporting obligations.
SINGAPORE
Securities Law Information. The RSUs are granted to the Participant pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Agreement and the Plan have not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Participant should note that the Participant’s RSUs are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA and in accordance with any other applicable provision of the SFA.
Director Notification. If the Participant is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Subsidiary or other related company in Singapore, the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., RSUs, Shares) in the Company or any related company. In addition, the Participant must notify the Singapore Subsidiary when the Participant sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within two (2) business days of (i) acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company, or (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g. upon vesting of the RSUs or when Shares are subsequently sold). In addition, a notification must be made of the Participant’s interests in the Company or any related company within two (2) business days of becoming a director, associate director, or shadow director. If the Participant is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of a Singapore Subsidiary and the above notification requirements are determined to apply to the CEO of a Singapore Subsidiary , the above notification requirements also may apply to the Participant.
APPENDIX A
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
SPAIN
No Entitlement. This provision supplements Section 9(d) of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs or the Shares acquired upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that the RSU grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant 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 RSUs shall be null and void.
Further, and except as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) of the Agreement in the event the Participant dies or becomes Disabled, the vesting of the RSUs is expressly conditioned on the Participant’s continued rendering of service, such that if the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the RSUs will cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Participant terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Participant terminates service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or a Subsidiary ; or (5) the Participant’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s employment for any of the above reasons, the Participant will automatically lose any rights to RSUs that were not vested on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement. The Participant understands that the RSU grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant 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 RSU grant shall be null and void.
The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section 2 of the Agreement.
Securities Law Notification. The grant of RSUs and the Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs are considered a private placement outside the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities. No “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. This Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Notification. The Participant is required to declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds a certain threshold. Different thresholds and deadlines to file this declaration apply. However, if neither such transactions during the immediately preceding year nor the balances / positions as of December 31 exceed a certain threshold, no such declaration must be filed unless expressly required by the Bank of Spain. If any of such thresholds were exceeded during the current year, the Participant may be required to file the relevant declaration corresponding to the prior year, however, a summarized form of declaration may be available. The Participant should consult a personal tax or legal advisor for further information regarding these exchange control reporting obligations.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. To the extent that the Participant holds assets (e.g., cash or Shares held in a bank or brokerage account) outside Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of asset (e.g., Shares, cash, and so on) as of December 31 each year, the Participant will be required to report information on such assets on his or her tax return for such year (tax form 720). After such assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported assets increases by more than €20,000. If applicable, the reporting must be completed by March 31. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to the Participant. Accordingly, the Participant should consult with his or her personal tax and legal advisors to ensure that he or she is properly complying with his or her reporting obligations.
SWEDEN
Authorization to Withhold. This provision supplements Section 6 of the Agreement:
Without limiting the Company’s and the Employer’s authority to satisfy their withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement, by accepting the RSUs, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold Shares or to sell Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant upon settlement/vesting to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or the Employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.
APPENDIX A
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
SWITZERLAND
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and the issuance of any Shares are not intended to be a public offering in Switzerland and are therefore not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any materials relating to the RSUs (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et. seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services (“FinSA”) (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary , or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the Swiss Financial Supervisory Authority (FINMA)).
TAIWAN
Data Privacy. The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the terms regarding collection, processing and transfer of Data contained in the Data Privacy Information and Consent provision of the Terms and Conditions for Participants outside the U.S. and agrees that, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant will provide any executed data privacy consent form to the Employer or the Company (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Employer or the Company) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to execute any such consent or agreement.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs and participation in the Plan is made available only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. It is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company. Therefore, it is exempt from registration in Taiwan.
Exchange Control Information. Individuals may acquire foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Shares) into Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification.
There is no need to aggregate all remittances into Taiwan when calculating the limitation. If the transaction amount is TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Participant must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form and also provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
THAILAND
Exchange Control Information. If the Participant is a Thai resident and the Participant realizes sale proceeds equal to or in excess of a specified threshold (currently US$1,000,000) in a single transaction, the Participant is required to repatriate the cash proceeds to Thailand immediately following the receipt of such proceeds and then either convert such repatriation proceeds into Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds into a foreign currency account opened with any commercial bank in Thailand within 360 days of repatriation, unless the Participant can rely on any applicable exemptions (e.g., where the funds will be used offshore for any permissible purposes under exchange control regulations and the relevant form and supporting documents have been submitted to a commercial bank in Thailand). Further, for repatriated amounts equal to or in excess of the specified threshold, the Participant understands he or she must specifically report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand.
TURKEY
Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, the Participant is not permitted to sell any Shares acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The Shares are currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, under the ticker symbol “ADI” and the Shares may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Information. The Participant may be required to engage a Turkish financial intermediary to assist with the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. As the Participant is solely responsible for complying with any applicable financial intermediary requirements, the Participant should consider consulting his or her personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs or any sale of Shares to ensure compliance.
UNITED KINGDOM
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 6 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Participant agrees that the 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 authority or any other relevant authority). The 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 authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by the Participant, in case the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, the Tax-Related Items
APPENDIX A
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Participant understands that he or she 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 to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be collected from the Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement.
Manner of Payment. This provision replaces Section 7 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, upon vesting of the RSUs, Shares will be issued to the Participant. In no event will the Award be paid to Participant in the form of cash.
Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, the Participant will not be entitled to receive any Shares pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs unless and until the Participant has executed a Joint Election (as defined below) in connection with the RSUs.
Joint Election. As a condition of the grant of RSUs, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company or the Employer with respect to the vesting of the RSUs or otherwise payable with respect to a benefit derived in connection with the RSUs.
Without limitation to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to execute a joint election between the Company and/or the Employer and Participant (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or election required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election, no Shares shall be issued to the Participant without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from the Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement.
The Joint Election is attached hereto as Appendix C. If the Participant has signed a Joint Election in the past with respect to an RSU award granted to him or her by the Company and that Joint Election applies to all grants made under the Plan, the Participant need not sign another Joint Election in connection with this RSU grant.
APPENDIX B
EMPLOYER INFORMATION STATEMENT – DENMARK
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT ON GRANT DATE
Pursuant to section 3(1) of the Danish Act on the Use of Rights to Purchase or Subscribe for Shares etc. in Employment Relationships, as amended as of January 1, 2019 (the “Stock Option Act”), you are entitled to receive the following information regarding the grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) by Analog Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) under the Analog Devices, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in a separate written statement. This statement contains only the information mentioned in the Stock Option Act; the other terms and conditions of your grant of RSUs is described in detail in your Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), the appendix to your Agreement and the Plan.
1. Date of Grant
The Company approved the grant of RSUs under the Plan on Grant Date. On this basis, the Date of Grant for your RSUs is Grant Date.
2. Terms and Conditions of the RSU Grant
The grant of RSUs and other awards under the Plan is made at the sole discretion of the Company. In determining who will receive RSUs, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are subject to the RSUs, and all other terms and conditions of the RSUs, the Company will consider a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the Company’s past, present and projected financial results, your personal performance and the value of the services that you render on the future value of the Company and its ongoing operations. Notwithstanding, the Company may decide, in its sole discretion, not to grant you additional RSUs or other awards under the Plan in the future. Under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, you have no entitlement or claim to receive future RSU grants or other awards under the Plan.
3. Vesting Date of RSUs
Your RSUs will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 1 of your Agreement. If you do not remain employed with the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries through the vesting date, you may forfeit all or a portion of your RSUs as of the effective date of your termination, depending upon the particular circumstances of your termination and when it occurs. In this regard, please see Section 5 below.
When your RSUs vest, the Company will issue one share of the Company’s common stock to you in settlement of each vested RSU.
4. Exercise Price
Because each RSU entitles you to receive one share of the Company’s common stock on the date of vesting without any cost to you or other payment required from you, there is no exercise price associated with the RSUs.
5. Your Rights upon Termination of Service
In the event you terminate employment with the Company group, the vesting and forfeiture of your RSUs will be determined in accord with the terms of your Agreement. In addition, you will be ineligible to receive any additional RSU grants after your termination.
6. Financial Aspects of Participating in the Plan
The grant of RSUs has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the RSUs is not taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary. The tax treatment of RSUs depends on a number of aspects and thus, you are encouraged to seek particular advice regarding your tax position.
Shares of stock are financial instruments and investing in stocks will always have financial risk. The possibility of profit at the time of vesting will not only be dependent on the Company’s financial performance, but inter alia, also on the general development of the stock markets. In addition, before or after you vest in your RSUs, the shares of the Company’s common stock could decrease in value even below the price of such stock on the Date of Grant.
7. Other Issues
This Statement does not intend to alter any provisions of the Plan or the Agreement (or any related document), and the Plan and the Agreement (and any related document) shall prevail in case of any ambiguities. However, your mandatory rights under the Stock Option Act shall prevail in case of any ambiguities.

ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING – DANMARK
Tildeling af “Restricted Stock Units” den GRANTDATE
I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret m.v. i ansættelsesforhold, som ændret virkning fra 1. januar 2019 (“Aktieoptionsloven”) er du berettiget til i en særskilt skriftlig erklæring at modtage følgende oplysninger om Analog Devices, Inc.’s (“Selskabets”) tildeling af “Restricted Stock Units” (“RSU’er”) i henhold til Analog Devices, Inc.’s 1996 medarbejderaktieordning (“Ordningen”). Denne erklæring indeholder kun de oplysninger, der er nævnt i Aktieoptionsloven. De øvrige vilkår og betingelser for tildelingen er beskrevet nærmere i Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“Aftalen”), i tillægget til Aftalen og i Ordningen.
1. Tildelingsdato
Selskabets godkendte den Grant Date tildelingen af RSU’er i henhold til Ordningen. Tildelingsdatoen for dine RSU’er er således den Grant Date.
2. Vilkår og betingelser for RSU-tildelingen
RSU-tildelingen og øvrige tildelinger under Ordningen foretages efter Selskabets eget skøn. Ved fastlæggelsen af, hvem der skal modtage RSU’er, hvor mange af Selskabets ordinære aktier, der skal være genstand for RSU’er, og de øvrige vilkår og betingelser for RSU’erne, lægger Selskabet vægt på en række faktorer, herunder bl.a. Selskabets historiske, nuværende og forventede regnskabsmæssige resultater, dine personlige resultater og værdien af dine ydelser for Selskabets fremtidige værdi og løbende drift. Uanset ovenstående kan Selskabet frit vælge ikke at foretage yderligere RSU-tildelinger eller andre tildelinger til dig fremover. I henhold til Ordningen og Aftalen har du ikke ret til eller krav på fremover at modtage RSU-tildelinger eller andre tildelinger.
3. Modningsdato for RSU’er
Dine RSU’er modnes som anført i den modningsplan, der fremgår af afsnit 1 i Aftalen. Hvis du ikke forbliver ansat i Selskabet eller i et af Selskabets datterselskaber frem til modningsdatoen, kan du miste dine RSU’er helt eller delvist med virkning fra fratrædelsestidspunktet afhængig af de konkrete omstændigheder i forbindelse med din fratræden og tidspunktet herfor. Der henvises i den forbindelse til pkt. 5 nedenfor.
Når RSU’erne modnes, udsteder Selskabet én ordinær aktie i Selskabet til dig for hver RSU, der er modnet.
4. Udnyttelseskurs
Da hver RSU giver dig ret til at modtage én ordinær aktie i Selskabet på modningsdatoen, uden at du vil skulle betale nogen omkostninger eller andre beløb, er der ingen udnyttelseskurs forbundet med RSU’erne.
5. Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden
Hvis din ansættelse i Selskabet eller dets koncern ophører, afhænger modningen og fortabelsen af RSU’erne af vilkårene i Aftalen. Derudover vil du ikke være berettiget til at få tildelt yderligere RSU’er efter din fratræden.
6. Økonomiske aspekter ved at deltage i Ordningen
Tildelingen af RSU’er har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig.Værdien af RSU’erne indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller andre lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser. Den skattemæssige behandling af RSU’erne afhænger af flere forhold, og du opfordres derfor til at søge særskilt rådgivning vedrørende din skattemæssige situation.
Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Muligheden for at opnå en fortjeneste på modningstidspunktet afhænger således ikke kun af Selskabets økonomiske udvikling, men også af den generelle udvikling på aktiemarkedet. Derudover kan kursen på Selskabets aktier både før og efter overdragelsen af RSU’erne falde, måske endda til et niveau, der ligger under kursen på Tildelingsdatoen.

Denne Erklæring har ikke til formål at ændre bestemmelserne i Ordningen eller Aftalen (eller i et dertil tilhørende dokument), og Ordningen og Aftalen (og eventuelle dertil tilhørende dokumenter) har forrang i tilfælde af flertydighed. Dine lovfæstede rettigheder i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven har dog forrang i tilfælde af flertydighed.
